The blue glow along the edge of the bracelet might seem seamless with no anomalies, but having delved into the microcosmic world for years and extracted fragments of Space Runes, he could keenly sense the differences within.

The slightly lighter-colored parts along the edge of the bracelet, to him, clearly marked the edges of runes.

These runes, however, were all interconnected, making it impossible for him to discern the specific appearance of any single rune.

"I see, time and space are indeed related."

Lor suddenly realized, "Space Runes need to be pieced together bit by bit in the microcosmic String World."

"As for the Time Rune, its magnitude is unknown, as it is an entity itself. All the basic runes converge into one, requiring me to deconstruct it bit by bit."

"The microcosm is the domain of space, and the macrocosm is the domain of time; combined, they form space-time."

Having thoroughly understood the essence of the Time Rune, a joyful smile appeared on his face, and he immediately began attempting to deconstruct the basic space-time runes from the edge of the blue glow.

Due to the dense overlapping of the Time Runes, his deconstruction work proceeded very slowly.

Sometimes he would even get stuck, because the area where the Time Runes overlapped was too dense to discern.

"I must not be hasty; if I can't deconstruct one side, I'll start with the other," Lor thought to himself. "As long as I deconstruct enough rune outlines, sooner or later I will be able to analyze the true form of the Time Rune from those outlines."

Time flew like water, and a month had passed in the blink of an eye.

As Lor immersed himself in the deconstruction of the Time Rune, the scene before him suddenly wavered lightly and then disappeared.

"Hmm?" Lor looked at the familiar study in front of him, slightly taken aback, and quickly came to a realization, "A single Origin Point can only support a month of Macroscopic Insight?"

He sighed regretfully, then picked up a quill and swiftly recorded his findings on a blank parchment.

One twisted arc line after another was sketched out on the parchment.

Each arc line existed independently, with no intersections among them.

He planned to record all the arc lines at the edge of the glow and, after deconstructing all the different arcs, conduct further investigations.

Without doing so, he wouldn't be able to discern the outline of the core Time Rune.

Ten lines...

A thousand lines...

A hundred thousand lines...

Lor filled sheet after sheet of parchment, stopping only when he reached three hundred twenty-seven thousand eight hundred and fifteen twisted arc lines.

These arc lines were all his gains from the River of Time this time around.

"Next, I need to compare these outlines one by one, remove overlaps, and integrate the different ones."

Looking at the pile of parchment filling the desk, Lor thought to himself, "Once the integration is complete and I deepen my understanding, I can skip recording all the identical outlines next time, only noting the different ones, significantly speeding up the recording process."

The research plan he devised was straightforward initially, requiring only the recording of all outlines.

The second step, however, was challenging, needing to extract rune convergence points in overlapped areas based on these outlines.

Using each convergence point as a center, he carefully pieced together complete Time Runes.

Breathing out slowly, Lor steadied himself and, without delay, began the comparison, integration, and deletion.

"This arc line is completely overlapping with a previous one, delete it."

"Delete this one too."

"And this one... wait, no, this segment of the arc is slightly inclined, differing from that other arc line."

As Lor compared and integrated each arc line, the sheets of parchment on the desk gradually decreased in number.

Three days later, only nine parchments filled with arc lines remained on his desk.

A total of eight hundred and thirty-six arcs remained.

Lor repeatedly scanned these arc lines with his eyes, picturing in his mind how they would appear from various angles.

Another month passed as he finished simulating all the appearances of these arc lines from any angle.

"Open Sequence Panel," after making his preparations, Lor issued the command mentally.

[Sequence: 97,658,773

Permissions Unlocked: 1: Insight.

Origin Points: 3, 13.17%]

Two months passed, and the players contributed another 58% progress to his Origin Points, bringing them back to 3 points.

"If only they could stay forever." Seeing the increasing Origin Points, Lor felt not joy but worry.

In ten more months, players would disappear due to a version update.

The next arrival was expected to be around three hundred years later.

For the following three hundred years, he would gain nothing.

His exploration of the Time Rune would stagnate as a result.

Unfortunately, despite his desire to have players stay, he had no actionable points of change and could only reluctantly accept this fact.

"Activate... Microscopic Insight." Lor shifted his focus from the unchangeable to issuing a new command to the Sequence Panel.

Before delving into further studies of the Time Rune, he needed to understand what Microscopic Insight offered.

He had previously speculated it might be an advanced version of the Sea of Consciousness Microscope Witchcraft, but that remained a guess.

What if this capability allowed him to freely choose a Space Rune?

While other Space Runes were inconsequential, he had to have control over the Spatial Penetration Rune.

This rune is a fundamental necessity for opening the grand era of planes; without it, one could forget about any such era materializing.

As the command was executed, the scene before Lor transformed again.

He sensed everything before him enlarging, magnifying, and further magnifying.

In a fleeting moment, the world in his eyes morphed into a strange domain composed of countless colorful strings.

Unlike in his Sea of Consciousness, this microcosmic world aggregated all elements.

Amid these elemental intersections, the emergence of various elemental rune fragments was distinctly visible to him.

Including the peculiar elements of space, light, and darkness, and so forth.

"As expected, no miracles transpired; ultimate insight is merely a more refined String World," Lor said to himself with a wry smile, shaking his head.

If he hadn't possessed the Sea of Consciousness Microscope Witchcraft, Microscopic Insight would have held significant utility.

At the very least, it enlightened him on the discovery methods for all kinds of basic runes, including the Space Rune.

For cultivators of different systems, perhaps they might even have sudden realizations about bizarre concepts.

But for a wizard like Lor, who walked the path of witchcraft and possessed Microscope Witchcraft, it truly was redundant.

The so-called redundancy was its lack of benefits versus the regret of discarding it.

The regrettable part lay in the fact that many of these elements were novel, unrecognized even in his lifetime during the grand era of wizards.

Relying on these elements, he could publish more hypotheses to further refine the Wizard Cultivation System.

"Luckily, I still have Macroscopic Insight; otherwise, this capability would indeed not meet my long-standing expectations." Lor felt relieved internally, "This month, I shall record these new elements, so I can formulate more hypotheses later and enhance the Elemental Mage System."

Lor cleared his mind and gradually unearthed and memorized the processes by which new elements emerged from the collisions of elemental strings.

A month of meticulous recording elapsed this way.

"Hmm, this month's gains aren't too shabby,"

Lor looked around the familiar study, comforting himself, "At the very least, I recorded over a hundred kinds of new elements, didn't I?"

"This isn't a loss!"

Having insisted it wasn't a loss, he summoned the Sequence Panel and issued the command to open the Sequence Panel and activate Macroscopic Insight.

The familiar River of Time returned once more.

One month later, Lor returned with one hundred fifty-eight thousand seven hundred and twenty-five new Time Rune arc lines.

After simplification, these were reduced to five hundred thirty-six arc lines.

Another month passed, yielding three hundred seventy-eight arc lines.

With this, all of his Origin Points had been depleted, accumulating a total of one thousand seven hundred and fifty unique Time Rune arc lines.

"Once each retrieval of Time Rune arc lines yields less than a hundred, I'll proceed to the next step," Lor decided as he gazed at the thick stack of parchment.
