RE: LORD OF TIME

"Are you done?" Seeing William come out, Liam and Alicia, who had been waiting outside walked over to him.

William nodded, and the three of them left the top stands together.

"Thanks for earlier. I didn’t expect to receive a Skill Evolution Stone for free." Alicia said with a smile, still feeling a bit surprised.

Liam also nodded and spoke with genuine emotion.

"I never expected there would be things like Skill Evolution Stones in this world. It’s my first time seeing one."

William nodded without saying anything upon hearing their words, appearing lost in thought.

Seeing that William wasn’t saying anything, Liam paused for a moment before asking in a low voice.

"Buddy, are you alright?"

"Hmmm?" William snapped out of his thoughts and seeing Liam looking at him with concern, he shook his head and spoke with a smile.

"It’s nothing. I was just thinking about something."

"OH..." Liam nodded and showed a confident smile. "If you need any help, don’t hesitate to ask me. Although I am not as strong as you, I can still give you a hand."

"Me too..." Alicia also nodded. "I have a lot of money, and if you have any problems, money can solve almost all of them."

William’s mouth twitched slightly upon hearing Alicia’s boastful words, but when he recalled how this young lady went on vacations in different realms, he felt that what she said might not be entirely incorrect.

She might really possess enough money to solve most problems.

He shook his head to clear his thoughts and spoke lightly.

"I am fine. I was just thinking about what we should eat in the cafeteria."

Seeing that William really seemed to be alright, Liam and Alicia also began thinking about what they should eat.

Before he went onto the ring, William had said he would treat them, so they had to think carefully about what good things they wanted to eat.

Neither of them asked William why Professor Norman had called him or what they had talked about.

Since Professor Norman had sent them out before talking to William, it was clear that he didn’t want them to know about their conversation.

William glanced at the two people who were discussing what they should eat and shook his head with a chuckle.

Honestly, he was a bit disturbed after hearing what Norman had said at the end.

It wasn’t because he had begun to doubt Vivian after hearing Norman’s words. On the contrary, he was disturbed because he felt that people had a huge misunderstanding about Vivian.

William had spent quite some time with Vivian in the original time line and was certain that she and Norman were not very familiar with each other.

But the way Norman spoke about her was as if he knew her personality very well.

The way Norman had spoken seemed very familiar to William. It was as if...

’Someone had spread rumors about Vivian, and everyone had actually believed them, not only labeling her as a psycho but even claiming that she had killed her entire family.’

William wasn’t sure whether Vivian had actually killed her family or not.

But recalling how Vivian sometimes used to speak about the time she had spent with her family, a gentle smile always appearing on her face, he was absolutely certain that she cared about them a lot.

And even if something had happened and she had killed them, there had to be something deeper behind it.

Recalling her gloomy expressions whenever he asked her about her family, William took a deep breath.

’Dominick should have already delivered my message to her. Considering her current emotions must be a bit out of control because of the approaching Moon Eclipse, she will definitely come to see me tomorrow after hearing that absurd message.’

After hearing what Norman had said earlier, William actually had a guess as to why Vivian had never told him anything about her family in the original time line and always said that she would tell him in the future.

Considering that she always showed a gloomy or complicated expression whenever he asked about them, it was clear that the problem was something even she found difficult to resolve.

If even she couldn’t solve it, what could he, who was far weaker than her, possibly do to help her?

’She always helped me with my problems, but I was too weak to help her with hers. In fact, I still am.’

William rubbed the back of his head, feeling frustrated because of his lack of strength.

’If only I had a way to increase my strength even faster....’

Seemingly noticing William’s frustration, the white pearl inside his Sea of Consciousness glowed slightly, and after a moment, he heard its voice.

’Actually, there is a way that can accelerate your progress.’

William, who was feeling somewhat frustrated was taken aback by the spirit’s voice. But he soon came back to his senses and hurriedly asked.

’What way?’

’You need to reach the Star Commander level first. Once you become a Star Commander, you will understand.’

’Become a Star Commander...’

William raised an eyebrow when he heard the spirit’s words.

But suddenly, he thought about the God of Time’s Legacy.

According to the spirit, he would unlock a portion of the legacy every time he broke through to a major realm.

When he became a Star Warrior, he had received the God of Time’s personal cultivation technique, the Timeless Scripture.

Once he reached the Star Commander level, he would unlock another part of the legacy.

’Is this something related to the God of Time’s Legacy?’ William asked for confirmation.

But the spirit didn’t answer, only saying that he would know once he broke through to the Star Commander level.

Although the spirit didn’t answer his question, William was still very excited inwardly.

He thought about the Molten Spirit Pill that Norman had given him earlier and couldn’t help but want to return immediately and consume it.

’I can easily break through to the Peak of the Star Warrior Realm using the Molten Spirit Pill. Then, I will just have to compress my Aether Energy, and I can immediately break through to the Star Commander Realm.’

A look of anticipation appeared on William’s face, and after eating with Alicia and Liam, which cost him a freaking five credits, he quickly returned to the dormitory.

Liam had gone to the market to buy a few things, so he didn’t return with William.

Sitting on his bed, William took a deep breath and took out the Molten Spirit Pill.

"Let’s get started..." He muttered before tossing the pill directly into his mouth.

BOOM!

The instant the pill entered his body, it transformed into a burst of energy and rushed toward his Aether Core.
