Chapter 900
She was still standing in the middle of this place, shining all bright with its energy, while I couldn’t see anything through this thick veil of light about her face.
Yet I knew she was safe and was going to continue her work here for me. There was now no danger at all with that weapon sealed inside my inventory.
“I have to go back and get some rest,” I looked around before sighing, “lots of rest.”
I kept myself alive all this time using my energy. But it wasn’t close to traditional sleeping and eating.
I craved a good nap, a good long nap that would extend to days. Yet first I had to check over my forces, the ones I sent back to the second Earth world.
I hoped they didn’t get into a fight in between themselves or something. Or else this would make me feel lots of regret about sending both to the same place together.
I returned to my chariot, opened a portal there before appearing in front of one of the big gates leading out from here.
During this time, not a single one on my chariot said anything to me. They didn’t even look at me, except for my two girls who looked at me in a way that someone was looking at his guardian angel.
I could only sigh and accept such a result. After all, I planned for them to take a long time to rest inside my second Earth world alongside those alien races.
I have tons of questions to ask them. They weren’t just normal folks, they were supposed to be their universe’s elites and heroes.
People like them were like treasure troves to me. I got to learn a lot from them, learn about their experiences in their worlds.
Did they have apocalypses there? Systems? Or cultivation power? Or something totally different?
I got to listen to their side of the story, learn from them about the path towards hegemony.
I opened a path leading towards one of the big gates. Once I appeared there, the green world that appeared here made me feel like all this was a dream.
It was a long adventure, yet I gained lots of things from it. And I also lost some.
I hoped during all this time, Silverlining would have worked diligently and provided Legend with enough people to train large armies.
Not to mention people who would be selected to build and live in my towns and cities there by Angelica’s men.
It was a blessing that Angelica trained people, as well as Lily. Both played an important role in my grand plan, and luckily they got people entrusted with their tasks, making me quite relieved.
If I had to add a third person to them, then it would be Isac. She was also one of the big players in my growing kingdom.
She got men to supervise the building process, yet drawing blueprints and creating new marvellous pieces of art maps was a skill that she only got.
Aside from them, everyone else wasn’t that special, even the jumper, even my girl; Hilary.
When I recalled her, I couldn’t help but sigh. During all this time, I got busy fighting and forgot about Hilary being unconscious inside my chariot.
She got hit hard by that soul thing. Recalling this made me wonder what this soul was all about.
Was it part of the general setting of this world? Or was it part of that damn weapon? Or was it related to those who did all this and stood behind the curtains.
Sigh! All I got was only questions without answers. “Time to go back and take care of things out there…” I decided to leave all these questions behind and not care too much about them for now.
I took a last gaze towards this world. According to that shrine lady, she was going to build me an entire growing world, one that was like my second Earth.
I hoped it would also enjoy the same time difference as well. Like this I’d end up having two gems.
Not to mention the worlds that lay in the stored space of that throne.
The moment I went out, I instantly called for Lucias.
I had bad thoughts about what happened here. I wanted to know what happened here from him directly before doing anything else.
“Lord,” Lucias bowed the moment he appeared, “everything is alright. The two sides are living far apart, but nothing major happened.”
“Major? What do you mean?”
Lucias was smart enough to guess what I wanted to ask when I called for him in such a way.
“Some skirmishes by those who held grudges and with no brains to think wisely,” he said, “but all is under our control. The leaders of each side helped greatly in controlling the situation.”
“That’s… Good,” I expected something worse to be honest. It was a blessing that only such a few small battles erupted between the two.
“How long have I been gone?” This was a question I had in mind for all this time.
Was the time speed inside that pocket world the same as here? Or was it a bit different? Was it faster? Or slower?
“Well… Since our lord sent us away, almost one week has passed.”
“Just one week?!” there was indeed a time difference. I spent lots of time inside. After sending them away, I had to fight against that orb and then I took a week or so to deplete the last bones from the den of bones artefact.
Then I went inside that hall and dealt with that jerk for another week.
Well… the time difference wasn’t that big, almost one to three or four. That meant the one and half year I spent there was close to six months time here, around nine to ten days on Earth.
Well… I didn’t spend too much inside by Earth standard. Just enough for the fourth quest to get finished.
