Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire

Therefore, in Noah's understanding, the power to manipulate time fundamentally doesn't exist. At most, it's akin to the Divine, using immense power to force matter within a certain region to stop moving.

By analogy, it could also create effects similar to time acceleration. Of course, if computational ability is strong enough, without considering energy loss, theoretically it could also reverse time within a certain area.

However, the existence of different time flow rates involves the true field of time. But according to Gwen's description, she entered a special secret realm for such a situation to occur, which is understandable.

"Interesting!"

Noah had never seen an existence that could truly manipulate time. Although there were legends of the Time Dragon among the Dragon Clan, even with Noah's evolution to this point and acquiring many secrets known only to Ancestor Dragon, he couldn't find a trace to verify the existence of the Time Dragon.

Therefore, in Noah's perception, the Time Dragon is just an ethereal legend.

The so-called time stop, time acceleration, and time reversal can only be limited to a specific area and its matter, and all these are created by more powerful higher-level forces. Even if achieved, they often don't hold any significance, for example, they can't be used in combat.

The time prohibition cast by the Divine, when hit on another Divine, would be directly exempted, having no effect at all. In a way, this is the Divine showing miracles to mortals, demonstrating the supreme spells of the Divine. In battles on the same level, it wouldn't even be as useful as a scrap.

"Dad Dragon, are you interested in this?"

"Who's not interested in time?"

"Then once I become the Tower Master, I can invite you to visit the Tower."

"The place that twists your perception of time, is it the core secret realm of your Tower? Can I visit such a place?"

Noah was a bit surprised.

"In principle, it's not allowed."

Gwendolin pondered for a moment, pretending to answer seriously, but soon the girl laughed smugly,

"But I'm about to become the one who sets the principles!"

"You're the Tower Master, not the Sovereign of the Tower, don't get carried away, forget who you are."

Noah reminded.

"It's really not an issue. Although the Stars Secret Realm is important, it's not entirely closed to the outside. Throughout history, many strong allies with good relations with the Tower have been able to visit it.

But actually, no one gains anything from it, as it's impossible to simulate or replicate the power inside. Just like us at the Tower, over the years we've only thought of using the power contained within it for adjustments and transformations of life forms."

Gwen explained.

"I don't seem to have any dealings with your Star Tower, so I can't say it's friendly."

"But you have a good relationship with me, you're my Dad Dragon after all!"

"Wouldn't this count as using authority for personal gain?"

Hearing such a straightforward tone, Noah asked with a smile.

"How can this be called using authority for personal gain? Dad Dragon, you're really too..."

The girl, hearing Noah's words, couldn't help but shake her head, but did not finish her words of emotion and stopped in time.

"What about me?"

Noah's dragon eyes narrowed slightly.

"A bit naive. I spent decades competing for the Tower Master position, do you think it's for selfless service to the thirty thousand mages of the Star Tower?"

Gwen, with an old-fashioned posture, said confidently,

"I'm just taking you to visit a secret realm that is already open to some external access, without occupying any resources of the Tower. Compared to previous Tower Masters, my actions are exemplary models of saints."

"Wow, it sounds like your previous Tower Masters didn't do anything proper?"

"Of course they did proper things, but while doing these things, my predecessors did not forget to use their power to gather resources."

At this point, Gwen couldn't help but shake her head.

She was able to stand out among many candidates and smoothly enter the Star Secret Realm to receive the inheritance also due to such reasons.

The Star Tower's series of Tower Masters behaved greedily post-transition, almost scraping the land for resources, which really scared some elders who didn't want to wield power. So this time, they leaned towards selecting someone a bit more restrained, even if just appearing noble and virtuous, to take the reins.

"I'll give you more detailed insight into these things when I return. For you, it'll be a reference, you can add some articles to the Law Code to limit the emergence of these guys."

"You plan to return?"

"Yeah, I've already booked the Tower Master's position, and now there's nothing else demanding my energy, so of course, I want to relax a bit. What's up? Is there something inconvenient at home right now?"

The girl keenly noticed the subtle change in expression of the Dragon Species before her.

"It's not a matter of convenience or inconvenience, sigh, there are many things I find hard to talk to you about."

Noah sighed, unsure of how to start, because in a sense, this girl had only him as an unblood-related kin still active in this world. The rest, except for the descendants, were silent.

"You'd better go find out on your own, a lot of information is public."

"Alright."

With a vague sense of foreboding rising in her heart, Gwen agreed in one breath, and after talking with Noah for a while longer, ended the communication. She began investigating all significant events occurring in the eastern region of the Xilantia Continent through the Tower's channels.

However, even a mage holy land like the Star Tower, which can understand the essential causes behind many big events, still finds it hard to uncover the reasons behind certain things.

"How could this be? Why are the Gods so targeting Dad Dragon? It's really too detestable! At such a critical time, I'm actually not there!"

Just a few decades had passed, yet in Gwendolin's consciousness, only a decade seemed to have passed. When she emerged again, everything was different. The world's structure had undergone drastic changes, and everything familiar to her had vanished.

"Dad Dragon, are you hurt?"

Merely ten days apart, reasonably expected yet unexpected, Gwendolin, Augustus' daughter, whom Noah had raised, appeared before him again after a century-long separation.

"Although I know you're concerned for me, don't you think you're underestimating me a bit?"

Faced with a mage trying to secretly study him like her grandmother did, Noah half-jokingly avoided it directly.

"Are you really okay?"

"Do I look like someone having an issue?"

"I've already understood the events that transpired during this time, I support you initiating a revenge war against the Divine."

"Gwen, your identity now is different from before, some words need more caution and shouldn't be spoken rashly, it won't have a good impact."

Faced with such a clear-stance Gwendolin, Noah, in a joyful and pleasant mood, sincerely advised her.

"Do you think I'm saying this just in anger?"

"I know you're not speaking out of anger, but your identity is different now. Can you represent the Star Tower with such words? Even if you assumed the position, you wouldn't be able to decide such matters."

"I can represent myself."

"No, you can't. You can neither lead the Star Tower against the Divine, nor can you act on your own, representing yourself. That's irresponsible. Go back!"

Noah wielded his Dragon Claw, making a gesture of dismissal,

"This is a war between me and the Divine. I won't involve any outside forces, it's not good for anyone! You spent so much time and effort to get elected as the Tower Master, would you let it all be in vain just to help me?"
