Luo " Lord of Time"

After finishing dinner, Wang Yi returned to the villa from the hotel and sat in the study on the third floor, leaning back in his chair while staring at the laptop screen.

"The current ranking of the top 1000 Stellar level in the Dry Witch Secret Realm shows that a person named Fu Peng is ranked first..."

Of course, Wang Yi is ranked last!

The qualification competition for this year is likely to take place in about six months, but it has nothing to do with Wang Yi.

Wang Yi's first qualification battle is still one and a half years away.

"Tsk, the rewards for the top ten are really generous. The rewards for those ranked from eleventh to one hundredth are decent, but for those ranked beyond one hundred and one, they're just left with the scraps." Wang Yi used his student account to browse through the available information on the Dry Witch Secret Realm.

In the Dry Witch Secret Realm, the primary focus is on cultivating the geniuses of the Dry Witch Royal Family!

This includes people like Wang Yi!

Whether they are from the Three Hundred Princes or other forces, they are all ultimately part of the power of the Witch Universe!

After all, in name, they all serve under the Lord of the Dry Witch Country! Naturally, they work for the Witch Country!

The Dry Witch Secret Realm gathers peerless geniuses from across the entire universe and nurtures them meticulously.

The best resources, treasures, teachers, facilities, and training grounds are provided...

It can be said that entering the Dry Witch Secret Realm is like stepping into the world of masters with one foot already inside!

The future potential is limitless!

The competition between the core members of the Dry Witch Secret Realm is fierce, as reflected in the rankings.

Each year, the bottom 100 places in the core area must fight the top 100 from the second area, and the best 100 are chosen to enter the Dry Witch Secret Realm!

Meanwhile, the 10,000 geniuses in the second area are also fiercely competing for the qualifications to enter the Dry Witch Secret Realm.

As a result, the changes in the bottom 100 rankings are significant, while before the 900th rank, only the order changes.

Every genius in the Dry Witch Secret Realm works relentlessly to avoid falling below 900th place!

Wang Yi shook his head, unimpressed by the so-called geniuses in the Dry Witch Secret Realm. Even at his current level, he could rank near the top among Stellar level geniuses in the Dry Witch Secret Realm. With the help of the "Flame Star Beast" clone and the sign-in panel, his speed of improvement far surpasses those geniuses.

His goal is the Peak Genius Battle in six years—a contest for the pinnacle of all humanity!

While Wang Yi was flying through the dark universe toward the center of the Dry Witch Universe in his spaceship...

In the virtual universe, within the duel space, Hong, dressed in black and wielding a silver spear, was fiercely battling a white-haired man in green robes with black horns on his head in a metal arena.

The darkness around Hong seemed to swallow all light, clashing violently with the opponent's cyan currents.

Meanwhile, in a meditation room on the second floor of the Killing Fields, an old man with gray hair and a kind smile was watching a video of Hong's battle, a strange brilliance in his eyes.

"At such a young age, he's already reached the fourth level in domain mastery, and his marksmanship integrates the law of light. He even has unique insights and style... He really reminds me of myself when I was younger..."

The old man had passed through the area by chance and met an old subordinate, only to stumble upon this scene.

Hong's impressive comprehension and battle performance immediately caught his attention.

It's not that the old man hadn't seen geniuses before, but few matched his taste, let alone were worthy of inheriting his legacy.

Sometimes, fate truly works in mysterious ways.

"Military Master..." The world master of Three Axe Mountain respectfully looked at the gray-haired old man.

"Bring him to me," the old man said, his eyes glimmering with interest.

Soon after, Hong finished his battle and exited the duel space. He was already regarded as a formidable expert, evaluated as a nine-star warrior in the duel space!

Despite the attention he received, like Wang Yi, Hong preferred to train alone, free from the restrictions of any organization, forging his own path.

"Hong!"

"Hong, you're here again?"

"How did your record turn out today?"

In the Killing Field Hall, a few people recognized Hong and greeted him warmly.

After spending some time in the Killing Fields, Hong had made a number of friends.

As he reflected on his recent battle, Hong smiled and nodded at his acquaintances.

"Hong, come and sit here." A sturdy, muscular man who had known Hong for a long time pulled out a chair and called out to him.

Just as Hong was about to walk over, a young girl from the Killing Fields approached him. She bowed politely and said, "Honored guest, an elder from the meditation room upstairs would like to speak with you."

"Huh?" Hong raised an eyebrow, puzzled.

He knew of the meditation rooms upstairs, and that those who used them were typically very influential figures.

But he couldn't think of anyone he knew who would call for him.

"Alright, lead the way," Hong said, curious about who was looking for him.

Since it was the virtual universe, there was no danger, so Hong had no reason to worry.

The girl led him upstairs, and they soon arrived at the door of a quiet meditation room on the second floor.

This was where Hong met Luo, the first true teacher in his life—the Lord of Time.

…

Hong stepped into the meditation room, and his attention was immediately drawn to the gray-haired old man inside. In Hong's vision, the room seemed to darken, with the old man as the sole source of light.

Hong quickly composed himself and respectfully asked, "My lord, may I ask why you wanted to see me?"

The old man looked at the young man standing upright before him and chuckled, as if reminiscing about his own youth.

He spoke slowly, "Hong, I am one of the founders of Three Axe Mountain. My name is Luo, but others call me the Lord of Time." The old man's eyes gleamed with pride.

Luo, the Lord of Time, was a name known even among the millions of world masters across the Dry Witch Universe. His reputation had reached even many immortals.

He was undoubtedly one of the most formidable world masters!

Seeing the shock on Hong's face, Luo smiled and said, "Your talent is remarkable, and your personality is much like mine. Although I haven't achieved immortality, my understanding of the law of light is enough to be your teacher."

"This... this..." The sudden fortune felt like a massive pie falling from the sky, leaving Hong in disbelief.

Hong didn't know much about the Lord of Time, but he was well aware of Three Axe Mountain—a massive organization second only to the two holy lands of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire!

And now, the founder of this ancient and powerful organization wanted to take him as a disciple?

Luo's next words left Hong even more astonished.

"But I must tell you something. I don't have much time left. My lifespan is only about 20,000 more years."

...

In the western part of Earth, the sun was slowly setting, filling the sky with fiery clouds. Hong stood alone on the top floor of the spaceship building at the headquarters, gazing at the fading sunlight as it was swallowed by the approaching darkness.

"Time is fleeting."

"I must seize the present."

"But leaving my homeland and wandering through the star fields for thousands of years... is it really worth it?"

...
