Meeting Rhizen
"Seven millennia?" Compass Carburettor found it hard to believe, "Time flows at the same rate unless morphed by some special power."
He used the power of Lore and Tell-Tale to help Hazen, healing his injuries before making him regain consciousness.
"Yes," Hazen nodded, "You underestimated Zaira, Compass. She had used Martial's incompetence to fool you. Him being a pseudo-Host to the Waning Essence System wasn't the end goal of plan, but just the start…"
Hazen said in despair, "Her goal wasn't to eventually turn the Murim worlds into a farm by fully turning Martial into a host. No, her true intention was to use the Murim worlds as fuel and pour all their timelines into Martial once he fell victim to your Genre Representation."
"Thereby, it resulted in a time dilation."
