Wizard: I Have a Game Panel

"I have met the great Silkworm Dream Manager." Spirit immediately discovered the Blood, whose life force was as vast as the sea and who made no effort to conceal it, and promptly bowed in respect.

"Hmm." Blood nodded with a smile, tossing the blue Scroll in his hand towards Spirit, "This is the River of Time Scroll that I promised you. Open it and take a look."

"Whew—"

In just an instant, the seemingly ordinary blue Scroll traversed thousands of miles and appeared before Spirit.

"Yes." Spirit replied, reaching out to pick up the Scroll.

"Swish—swish—"

At the moment he picked up the Scroll, he suddenly felt a faint sound of flowing river around his ears.

This sound was quite familiar to him; it was exactly what he heard above the River of Time every time he used Origin Points to open Macroscopic Insight.

Taking a deep breath, Spirit somewhat nervously unfurled the Scroll in his hand.

Whether he could collect Time Runes from another channel, all depended on whether this worked or not.

"Swish—swish—"

As he unfolded the Scroll, the roaring sound of the river's flow around his ears became clearer.

Besides, he could distinctly sense a slight fluctuation in the time surrounding him, alternating between fast and slow.

However, this fluctuation was so slight that it was almost instantly dissipating each time a ripple appeared, so it did not affect him in any way.

When the River of Time was completely unfurled, Spirit's eyes widened suddenly.

No way!

How can this be?

Isn't the River of Time a loop?

Why does the River of Time on this Scroll not have any curvature at all, just like a straight river?

The past time phantoms appeared upstream of the river, the present time phantoms appeared midstream, and the future time phantoms flowed along the river to the end of the scroll.

If it were only this discrepancy, he could find an explanation for it.

For example, the person who drafted the River of Time Scroll did not draw the complete River of Time but only captured a segment.

But the most fundamental difference between this River of Time Scroll and the River of Time he saw through the Sequence Panel's Insight is the difference in runes.

In the River of Time visible through Macroscopic Insight, all Time Runes condensed into a cluster, draping over the circular River of Time like a canopy.

But in this River of Time Scroll, it was different. It appeared like those Space Runes seen in the endless Microcosmic World, divided into countless fragments scattered in the depths of the river.

Occasionally, when a wave surged, Spirit could glimpse a fragment of a Time Rune.

Runes in the Wizard System represent the interpretation of all things.

The forms of all elements can vary, but the same element under natural conditions can never exhibit such a stark difference.

Unless...

"Haha, are you surprised?" Blood saw the incredulous look on Spirit's face and laughed, "This is a diagram drawn by the Sovereign when they personally visited the River of Time. In terms of assisting cultivators of the Time System, it's top-notch."

"I'll tell you in advance, once the trial officially begins, I will take back this Scroll. You'll only be able to retrieve it from me again once you've amassed the Law Value that I've discounted."

"The next assessment of your mastery of the True Meaning of Time will be held in a century, with the second one occurring on the last day of your first extension. Thereafter, it will proceed accordingly."

"How long you extend the preparation time, and how much Law Value you reduce depends entirely on your own ability."

"This is all the help I can offer. From here on, everything depends on your own efforts."

"Of course, if there's anything you truly cannot comprehend, you can also contact me via the Second World."

Spirit's astonishment was entirely within its expectations. A genius who solely comprehended eleven True Meanings of Time from the natural world suddenly seeing this kind of straightforward road, almost within reach, not being surprised would be odd.

After leaving these words, Blood's figure suddenly vanished within Spirit's Spatial Domain.

It had helped all it could. Whether Spirit could ultimately succeed still depended on himself.

"Thank you, great Silkworm Dream Manager." Spirit gathered all his thoughts, bowing deeply in the direction where Blood vanished.

The peculiarity of the River of Time was not something he was currently qualified to deeply ponder.

For now, confirming that the River of Time Scroll could indeed help him open a second channel for Time Rune exploration was already enough.

A minute later, Spirit straightened up without receiving a response, intending to store the River of Time Scroll in his Space Ring, only to find a mysterious force wedged between the Scroll and the Space Ring, preventing it from being stowed away.

"Could it be the power of Laws?" Spirit speculated inwardly.

He shook his head slightly, not dwelling too much on this matter. If it couldn't be stored, he'd simply carry it. As long as he could perform a Space Jump, everything would be fine.

If even a Space Jump couldn't be executed, then it would be somewhat troublesome.

At that point, he would have only two choices: either leave it in the Desolate Plane or stay there with the River of Time Scroll.

Five days later, all Plane Passages would close, and perhaps for thousands of years into the future, he would have to stay on this plane to explore Time Runes.

"Let's hope it's not that ridiculous." Spirit quirked his lips, pouring Spiritual Power into the Origin Container, intending to activate the Spatial Mark left on the Fog Shadow Plane to check the situation, but in the next moment, he halted his motion.

Domenico might be there now, so it was better not to go directly.
