NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1185: Time
"I know."
Even though Shi Heng and his team were looking down from the sky, they couldn't discern what Wang Ye was researching.
But judging by Wang Ye's state.
They knew that Wang Ye had encountered a problem in his research.
"If we're judging by Wang Ye's current state, for him to finally complete the research, it would take at least a year. By that time, Earth Star might already be gone."
Shadow glanced at the Sky Screen again.
On the vast Sky Screen, many tiny cracks had appeared, and these cracks were now big enough for sixth-grade cultivators to enter.
Judging by the degree of fragmentation of the Sky Screen, it would completely shatter in about two months, allowing a large number of people to directly traverse the Sky Screen and invade Earth Star.
A year's time?
By the time Wang Ye completes it, it'll be too late.
"Let's leave it to me next."
Shi Heng sat cross-legged on the ground, the Power of Time surged within him, crossing the Boundless Realm and directly enveloping the direction where Wang Ye was.
When the Power of Time enveloped Wang Ye.
The flow of time around Wang Ye immediately changed compared to outside.
Shadow glanced at Shi Heng beside him.
Even at such a distance, using this ability on Wang Ye, Shi Heng's Great Dao of Time consumed substantially more.
But since the influence only affected Wang Ye, a First Grade Peak cultivator alone, it wasn't much for Shi Heng to handle.
Shadow didn't interfere with Shi Heng.
He allowed Shi Heng to proceed.
After all, aside from helping his disciple, Shi Heng's goal was also to help Wang Ye protect Earth Star.
As for Earth Star.
It was also a place he wished to protect.
That was the Lord of the Universe's homeland.
Of course, many people on Spirit Star didn't know the Lord of the Universe was also from Earth Star.
Otherwise, even if they discovered Earth Star, they wouldn't directly choose to invade it.
...
Tanggu Mountain.
Due to the reason that Wei City Mage Guild hadn't constructed anything to headquarters specifications yet, initially, the series of operations for the Sorcerer's Guild needed to be handled at Tanggu Mountain.
The master of the Shen Stone Workshop presided over Tanggu Mountain.
Zhou Ke presided over Wei City Mage Guild.
At first, the master of the Shen Stone Workshop was somewhat worried, as Zhou Ke was previously only the president of a small guild like Wei City Mage Guild.
Moreover, the Wei City Mage Guild had always been a small guild with very few people, and Zhou Ke might struggle to handle situations impacting the broader sorcerer community.
But soon.
The master of the Shen Stone Workshop realized his worries were unnecessary.
Zhou Ke, alone, directly assisted him in handling many affairs excellently in Wei City, and during the collaboration with Zhou Ke, the master of the Shen Stone Workshop felt a sense of camaraderie.
Everything flowed perfectly.
Related to building Wei City Mage Guild into the next Sorcerer's Headquarters, they continually funneled resources towards Wei City Mage Guild under the master of the Shen Stone Workshop's management.
All funded by the master of the Shen Stone Workshop.
They just needed Wang Ye to complete his retreat; once he emerged, they would revise the Wei City Mage Guild, allowing these resources to settle directly.
At that time.
Wei City Mage Guild would once again become the headquarters of the Sorcerer's Guild on Spirit Star, as it was a hundred thousand years ago.
Thinking of what Wang Ye had said about what he was going to accomplish, the master of the Shen Stone Workshop's brow furrowed slightly with anticipation, mixed with some concern.
His concern was Wang Ye might fail.
After all, what Wang Ye wanted to accomplish had been a puzzle many sorcerers had sought to solve throughout history.
If Wang Ye indeed resolved it.
Even if Xue Sheng brought people to cause trouble, there'd be nothing to fear.
All the sorcerers would choose to support Wang Ye.
However, the possibility of failure was significant.
Wang Ye was merely a second-ranked sorcerer.
And he was only in his twenties.
Others had been unable to achieve it in a long time, even among many first-grade peak sorcerers.
Those peak sorcerers didn't succeed, so how could Wang Ye, a second-ranked sorcerer, claim he could?
"I hope Wang Ye can succeed."
Just as the master of the Shen Stone Workshop thought of this.
The office door was suddenly pushed open from outside.
Xue Sheng burst in with a group of guild presidents, glaring angrily at the master of the Shen Stone Workshop, confronting him:
"Master of the Shen Stone Workshop, I only realized now that you deliberately kicked me out from the position of Head of the Sorcerer Headquarters to let Wang Ye become the head."
"If it was someone else, I wouldn't mind, but letting Wang Ye take the position, that's unacceptable to me!"
"Wang Ye, he's just a second-ranked sorcerer, and until now, he hasn't achieved anything noteworthy as a sorcerer, why should he?"
"Yes, why should he?"
With Xue Sheng leading, the guild presidents behind him started to voice their objections:
"In past years, which Head of the Sorcerer Headquarters wasn't a first-grade sorcerer? Making Wang Ye, a second-grade sorcerer, our headquarters head would make outsiders think there are no competent sorcerers among us!"
"Right! I strongly oppose making Wang Ye the head of the Sorcerer Headquarters! Previously, we were coerced! What achievements has Wang Ye made? Aside from winning a guild competition, what contributions has he offered to the sorcerer community?"
"Someone like Wang Ye doesn't deserve to be the Head of the Sorcerer Headquarters!"
Looking at Xue Sheng coming towards him, hearing one complaint after another from these sorcerers, the master of the Shen Stone Workshop sighed gently.
Sure enough.
He knew.
It was bound to happen.
...
On Zhou Ke's side.
He quickly received word from the master of the Shen Stone Workshop.
After hearing the news, Zhou Ke promptly headed to the Ice Sect.
Ice Sect.
Lin Shuang and Su Guimei watched Zhou Ke, and Lin Shuang glanced towards the direction Wang Ye was in retreat, sighing gently, sensing Zhou Ke's urgency.
But Lin Shuang spoke:
"Wang Ye is still in retreat. He stated before retreat not to disturb him unless something extremely important occurs, or it'll disrupt his thought process."
"Then… what do we do? Xue Sheng and the others are about to head directly to Wei City Mage Guild!"
