Second World, space filled with towering giant trees.

Seeing Lor's action, Blood, who was quite bored after listening to the hours-long meeting, immediately became spirited.

"Can these wizard's talents really make all wizards see the Time Rune?" A strong curiosity flashed in Blood's eyes.

If they truly can see it, then the potential of this civilization will rise another notch in its heart.

After all, including the Silkworm Dream Super Civilization, living beings who can comprehend the True Meaning of Time are extremely rare.

Even if the River of Time Scroll was placed right in front of them, they still wouldn't grasp a thing.

Until now, there hasn't even appeared a strong individual of the ninth level in the Time System.

...

At the top level study of the Lor Wizard Tower.

"Speaker Lor, where did you get such a scroll? Could it be from the Second World?" In the light curtain, Francis asked with curiosity written all over his face: "Does it have any use?"

In his eyes, the river within the scroll flowed endlessly, appearing quite wondrous.

But besides that, wasn't there nothing unusual?

"You didn't see anything?" Lor's face was filled with surprise.

Logically, even if Francis didn't notice the occasionally appearing Time Rune Fragments within the River of Time Scroll, he should at least discover the time anomaly around the scroll, right?

Could it be that the light curtain reflected by the Continent Communication Device cannot entirely map out the time changes?

Francis carefully scrutinized the scroll again, finally shaking his head helplessly: "Indeed, I didn't find anything unusual."

"This is the River of Time Scroll I borrowed from the Manager of the Silkworm Dream Super Civilization, Blood."

Lor explained: "Afterward, there is a significant portion of the trial preparation time that would rely on it."

"Unfortunately, the time that the Time Rune Fragments appear in this scroll is too brief, I can't capture them all alone."

"If you could also help capture them, perhaps we could delay the trial opening even further."

"Now that you can't find anything unusual, it's probably because the Continent Communication Device can't reflect time-related things. How about you come over?"

"Alright, I'm coming right now." Francis nodded solemnly, without any delay, immediately ending the communication, putting aside everything at hand, and striding towards the Small Teleportation Array located at the top level of the Wizard Tower.

The importance of completing the Time Rune to Lor needs no mention, any bit of hope that could help must be taken seriously.

...

One minute later.

At the top of the Lor Wizard Tower, in the study room.

"Knock, knock, knock——"

A knock suddenly sounded from outside the study.

"Come in." Lor waved his hand, using the Gravity Technique to open the study door from a distance, revealing Francis's figure.

"Is this the River of Time Scroll?" Francis entered the study, his gaze fixating on the River of Time Scroll opposite Lor's desk the moment he stepped in.

Upon closer inspection, he finally noticed something slightly abnormal about the scroll's surroundings.

For instance, the various Elemental Energy flowing between all things would immediately become erratic in speed once approaching the scroll, with no external interference.

And when they were less than a centimeter away from the scroll, they would automatically veer around it rather than passing through.

Without a doubt, this was a phenomenon never seen before.

Among all the substances currently discovered by the Wizard Alliance, there's none that can completely isolate all elements.

There would always be some elements able to penetrate the substance, while others wouldn't be isolated at a distance, only repelled by a repulsive force generated between elements.

"Yes." Lor nodded, asking with some anticipation: "How about it? Can you see the occasional surging of the Time Rune Fragments within?"

"Wait a moment, let me look again." Hearing Lor's words, Francis no longer focused on the elemental particles around the scroll but directed all his attention inside the River of Time in the scroll.

"Gurgle gurgle——"

The sound of flowing water faintly rang in his ears, and without realizing it, he suddenly found the River of Time in the scroll seemed to be expanding infinitely, with its flow changing subtly.

"Splash—— Boom——"

The subtle sound of flowing water had somehow turned into roaring, and it was as if he saw a river wider and taller than a plane surging straight towards him.

Faced with this great river, he wanted to release witchcraft to resist, only to find himself seemingly transformed into an ordinary person, unable to even sense the presence of Spiritual Power.

Terror, despair, helplessness, anger.

Various emotions intertwined in his heart, creating chaos.

"Speaker Francis!"

Suddenly, a giant hand waved before him, isolating that terrifying river from him.

"Buzz——"

Noticing the return of spiritual power perception, Francis instinctively activated the Permanent Life Defense Shield.

Fortunately, the last bit of sanity told him this was Lor's study, and he couldn't let the defense shield spread.

Otherwise, even if Lor reacted in time, the Wizard Tower could have been prepared for reconstruction.

"Speaker Francis, what happened to you just now?"

Lor looked at Francis in bewilderment, "Just now you stood there for ten minutes, and no matter how many times I called you, it was like you couldn't hear."

"And that's not the worst, the most important thing is that on your face... uh, in short, can you tell me what happened?"

He was puzzled; clearly, there was nothing unusual about the River of Time Scroll, so how did Francis suddenly perform a face-changing act for him?

As if the face-changing wasn't enough, to react by deploying the Life Defense Shield seemed overly exaggerated, no?
