Wizard: I Have a Game Panel

Article One: I think it's because the great Manager Blood suddenly had other urgent matters, which is why the opening of the Trial Field was postponed.

Article Two: In fact, there is no fixed duration for the preparation phase of the Trial Field; previous esteemed managers chose to prepare for a century before opening it, but that doesn't necessarily mean the esteemed Manager Blood will do the same, as the trial field's opening announcement never specified a specific preparation time.

Article Three: I believe the great Manager Blood wants to prepare some surprises for the little ones at Plane Sea No. 758, hence delaying the opening of the Trial Field.

Undoubtedly, all three comments make very valid points.

As for the specifics, that remains unknown.

After all, even if they achieve Tier Eight, unless they seek death, they lack the qualifications to meet with those lofty managers.

"Nevermind, let's wait and see." The leader of the Feathered Sky Civilization shook his head, no longer focusing on the post, and directed his attention back to reality, transmitting his voice to the distance: "Bona, Vina, stop messing around. Since they want to try, let them."

Although various signs indicate that the Trial Field has not yet opened, what if Manager Blood has something unique in mind?

In any case, it's no harm to try.

"Alright," Bona reluctantly turned her head away.

Vina didn't respond, but silently dispersed the previously gathered Space Feather.

"Halt!" Landaya immediately halted the vassals approaching the Plane Group Barrier Passage, placing a hand on his brow and bowing respectfully toward the silver battleship: "Thank you, Master of Lingkong, for granting permission."

A minute later, confirming this great presence had no further instructions, he lowered his hand and transmitted his voice to the vassal in black armor at the forefront: "You, go and try it. As a reward, your civilization will receive ten additional Tier Six promotion slots."

"Yes." The black-armored vassal saluted Landaya and, with extremely complex feelings, flew toward the Plane Barrier Passage five hundred miles away.

Given the current situation, there's a high probability it will die in compliance.

But if it doesn't comply, not only will it die, but its civilization will also pay an unbearable price; that's the sorrow of being a vassal.

In the entire void, countless beings focused their attention on it, hoping for its smooth entry.

"Hoo—"

The black-armored vassal arrived outside the Barrier Passage and, without even employing any Defense Secret Technique, flew straight into the passage.

The next instant, as a blood-red flash passed, it vanished without leaving a trace of existence.

Witnessing this scene, the beings outside the Wizard Plane Group remained in silent despair.

Clearly, Manager Blood hasn't opened the trial, and they still have to wait.

As for how long they have to wait, they don't know either.

But it probably won't exceed three hundred years, as previously, the opening typically followed a century after the announcement.

...

Wizard Plane, Betula Continent, at the top-level study of the Lor Wizard Tower.

Lor surveyed the fifty-one light curtains in front of him and spoke slowly: "Everyone, today the great Manager Blood reviewed my cultivation progress, extending the activation time for the Trial Field by two hundred and fifty years."

"So far, everything is going smoothly."

He did not mention Blood's change in attitude because it serves no purpose other than to worry the other councilors.

"Haha, excellent!"

"As expected of Speaker Lole."

"I remember you initially said you might only extend it by a hundred years, but it ended up being more than double that."

"Haha, I think Speaker Francis's three thousand five hundred years was too conservative. How about this number, four thousand five hundred years!"

...

Upon hearing Lor's good news, the councilors were all jubilant.

The longer the opening of the Trial Field is delayed, the more it favors the Wizard Alliance.

They wish Lor could delay it for ten thousand years, but unfortunately, that's impossible.

Seeing the jubilant councilors, Lor's previously not-so-good mood slightly improved, a smile spreading on his lips. After the discussion subsided, he continued: "The purpose of today's emergency meeting, aside from notifying you about this matter, is to discuss another issue."

"I've decided to take some time to visit the 'Arena.' If possible, I'll earn some Illusion Dream Value there to exchange for Second World entry qualifications for you all."

"I hope the Civilization Information Exchange List can better assist you in exploring the path to the Seventh Ring."

Although he doesn't fully understand what the 'Arena' is like, he is confident in his own strength.

If even he cannot earn Illusion Dream Value in it, then Silver Wolf wouldn't have readily given him the Second World entry token.

As for why he didn't first examine the arena before holding this meeting, it's because these folks were waiting for his answer.

Matters need prioritization; urgency must be discerned.

"Wouldn't this waste too much of your time?" Francis frowned slightly.

Undoubtedly, he really wanted the Second World entry token.

But more importantly, he valued Lor's time.

"Yeah, Speaker Lor, maybe you should reconsider. Although we haven't identified a specific starting point yet, having a direction might still enable us to discover the path to the Seventh Ring within three thousand years," the Sixth Ring Gold Element Speaker, Yiao, chimed in.

"Indeed."

"I second that."

The councilors surprisingly acted in unison, all persuading.

"Alright, if the 'Arena' demands too much time to accumulate sufficient Illusion Dream Value, I'll put it aside," Lor interrupted. "If the required time isn't much, I'll earn a bit and exchange for a Second World entry token for you all."

"Instead of persuading me, consider who should get the entry token if there are only a few or even a single token available."

As Yiao said, they might still independently develop a path to the Seventh Ring even without his efforts in the 'Arena.'

But he seeks certainty, not mere possibility!

After experiencing numerous changes, now the Wizard Alliance resembles a mortal walking on a solitary plank bridge over a hundred-mile chasm; one false step, and it's irredeemable.

To ensure stability, he must be reassured.

With those words, he didn't give the councilors another chance to persuade, directly cutting off the light curtains and focusing entirely on the Second World.

"This guy..." Francis shook his head slightly at the vanished light curtain, somewhat helpless.

He could understand Lor's thoughts, as this guy always liked planning for the future.

Even though they're still in the preparation phase of the Trial Field, he has already started planning events post-trial.

Meanwhile, he and most of the councilors focus more on the present, believing more in themselves.

They have thousands of years before the Trial Field opens, and three thousand more years after its opening. With everyone's concerted effort on researching the path to the Seventh Ring and having a vague direction, failing to discover it would be akin to being useless.

"Since Speaker Lole insists on dedicating effort to acquiring Second World entry tokens for us, I think we should honor his intention," Sixth Ring Thunder Element Speaker Theo said, scanning the room before fixing his gaze on Francis's light curtain, asking: "Speaker Francis, who do you believe should receive the first Second World entry token?"

"I think we have two choices."

Francis, hearing this, no longer hesitated and, as per usual, first presented his opinion: "The first choice is to hand it over to the strongest speaker currently in combat, letting him replace Speaker Lor to continue earning Illusion Dream Value for us to exchange for Second World entry tokens."

"The second choice is to give it to the speaker with the deepest trait research, allowing him to dedicate himself to exploring the path to the Seventh Ring, and occasionally spare time to seek answers from the Civilization Information Exchange List for us."

"On the surface, the first choice is undoubtedly the best."

"Because some problems only emerge with more knowledge, and the one deeply involved in trait research cannot possibly relay everything seen."

"But achieving this requires a premise, and that is being able to replace Speaker Lor in battling in the 'Arena.'

"Specific decisions should wait for Speaker Lole's return."

If things go smoothly, he would prefer Vincentia to replace Lor in battling in the 'Arena.'

Because currently, there's no significant progress in energy research on the breakthrough of the Tier Six Small Energy Furnace, making Vincentia the most suitable choice.

As for the eager Sanchez, he's definitely not an option.

Beside Lor, Sanchez and Domenico's time is now the most precious within the Wizard Alliance.
