Boom!!
A powerful aura exploded out of Lu Chong's body before vanishing an instant later.
Opening his eyes, a smile rested on his face as he sensed the changes in his body.
"I'm a hero."
He mumbled while allowing himself enjoy the power and energy coursing through him.
After 5 minutes of developing narcissistic tendencies, the spear demon left his apartment.
Opening his door, what greeted the spawn of space was his commander's face.
"Commander!"
He saluted towards Bai Yung.
"How do you feel?"
Bai Yung asked curiously after returning the salute.
The power he felt from his teacher was horrifying.
It was like facing tens of thousands of horses ready to charge at once.
"Powerful!"
Lu Chong said without hesitation.
It was the best word to describe his feeling at that moment.
Nodding, Bai Yung informed him of the reason of his visit.
"The lord summoned everyone to the Hall of Truth."
"Is there a problem?"
Lu Chong asked as he walked beside Bai Yung.
"I have no idea. It was sudden and compulsory."
Bai Yung replied.
After a couple of minutes, they stepped into the hall.
Standing in front of his subjects, 980 of them in total, Zhou Zhou revealed the purpose of their summon.
"Good morning, everyone."
"I chanced upon an opportunity that can change our entire progress pattern, and to do that without causing a lot of harm, we must all make use of it in large grouping."
"So, from now on, we'll all be making use of the Hall of Truth within the first 2 hours after sunrise."
He gave a decree to his subjects.
"Yes, my lord!"
The 980 Subjects responded aloud as they pondered what opportunity their lord was speaking of.
"Hui Teng, split everyone into two groups and send the second group outside."
Zhou Zhou said to his vice.
"Yes, my lord."
Hui Teng acknowledged the command before carrying out the task.
Separating the 979 Subjects into two groups, he kept the first group with the entire military personnel in the hall while the other group containing strictly civilians was made to leave the hall.
"In today's session in the Hall of Truth, you all will get the opportunity to practice for 10 hours before the effect of the Hall seizes."
"Get ready."
Hearing the information revealed by their lord, the 489 Subjects and Hui Teng were completely shocked.
They knew the progress they usually made in just an hour in the Hall of Truth.
To now experience 10 hours of such progress, that was insane!
"Get ready!"
Lu Chong shouted.
Even though he was as shocked as the others, he was able to quickly focus on Zhou Zhou's next words.
Activating the effect of the Tree of Time, Zhou Zhou was surprised at the options detailing 5 times the normal time flow and 10 times the normal time flow.
"It seems the limit isn't the only option."
He muttered before selecting the second option.
At once, almost half of the subjects felt a change around them.
Time
They all knew the origin of the change around them.
'The spawns of time.'
Zhou Zhou thought as he caught sight of the change in expression on the faces of his subjects.
Getting into the act, the spawns of space immediately began practicing while the spawns of time struggled to get used to the change in the flow of time.
After 7 Seconds, the spawns of time began practicing their skills as well.
Leaving the hall, Zhou Zhou began addressing the subjects in the second group.
"Some of you might've sensed the changes in the flow of time, that's the opportunity I chanced upon."
"In the next 10 hours, those inside will experience the effect of the Hall of Truth and increase their skills."
"While they are doing that, I want you all to carry on your duties before returning 10 hours later."
"For those of you who haven't been able to remain self-aware in the Dreamland Tower, don't try using the tower within the next 10 hours."
While amazed at the effect of the opportunity chanced upon by the lord, the 490 Subjects also took note of his warning.
'I can't imagine what might become of me if I spend an increased amount of time experiencing such a scary desire.'
A few subjects were able to link the rapid time flow to the Dreamland Tower.
Leaving his subjects, Zhou Zhou made his way to the Dreamland Tower.
Choosing the 40th floor, he inputted the numbers.
'It still contains 80 beds.'
He thought as he arrived in the 40th floor of the tower.
"I should be able to exhaust the entire 10 hours in here."
Choosing the bed closest to him, he laid on it.
Appearing in the Hall of Truth, the Child of Space-Time began practicing his teleportation.
...
Despite already having more than 10 hero skills comparable to an empire-tier skill, Lu Chong still hoped to advance his newly acquired kingdom-tier spear skill to the empire-tier.
'I can't teach my hero skills to others, so I have to advance the kingdom-tier skill to the next tier.'
'That's the only way I can repay the lord and be of help to the commander.'
Lu Chong thought as he moved according to the will of the Hall of Truth.
...
10 hours later, Zhou Zhou's eyes shot open.
"I've reached the limit I can train my teleportation to without increasing my strength level."
Sitting on the bed, he muttered as he recalled the progress he made in his dream.
"I can't believe an entire week went by so quickly even though it in a dream."
He mumbled while standing up from the bed and moving towards the elevator.
Walking out of the Dreamland Tower after arriving at the first floor, he teleported directly towards the Hall of Truth.
'Jeez, I'm left with only 3/10th of my energy after covering a distance of 80 meters.'
Zhou Zhou felt dizzy as he quickly drank 2 bottles of Green bronze-tier energy potions.
Recovering after the energy potions, he decided to increase his strength level.
"I can't waste these 10 hours of experience because I want to redirect the attention of people from me to my soldiers."
He mumbled as he used the 157,000 Promotion energy attached to the 7 Million promotion points in his Phantom Storage.
3 Seconds later, the changes within Blazing Sun came to an end.
"The White silver-tier advance grade."
He muttered as he walked into the Hall of Truth.
Concerning those in the first group, they've already left the Hall of Truth.
The subjects in the second group informed them of the warning given by the lord during their brief contact.
Hui Teng and Bai Yung took extra steps to enforce the warning by attaching a penalty to any offender.
In the Hall of Truth, Zhou Zhou sensed the authoritative power seeking to influence the movements of his skills.
"In the Dreamland Tower, I was only able to experience 7% of the Hall of Truth effect."
"I wonder how far I can progress experiencing the real deal for 10 hours."
He muttered as he began practicing his teleportation law skill.
But this time, his teleportation pattern was different compared to how he moved in his dream.
Because it was a dream, the Hall of Truth always seemed to be large enough to accommodate his teleportation.
Now in reality, the Hall of Truth was advancing his skill by teleporting him deeper into the first layer of space.
'It's just like when I was cast out of time.'
Zhou Zhou thought as he looked around him.
Letting go of all thoughts, he focused on his training as time flowed by.
...
In a territory hundreds of millions of miles away from Blazing Sun Desert, a lord from the Cerulean planet stared at his lord's wooden house as he completed the criteria needed to upgrade his territory to the Green bronze-tier.
"I will finally be able to scale through time and space to retrieve information from anyone below the White platinum-tier!"
Harel said excitedly as he saw his chance to become a rich and powerful lord.
"I wonder how Blazing Shit battles."
He said as he looked forward to watching the battle of the strongest lord among the lords of the Cerulean planet.
...
After spending hours teleporting through the first layer of space, Zhou Zhou suddenly became terrified as a large group of unknown creatures appeared in front of him.
"What the hell!"
He screamed as he tried teleporting away from the approaching creatures.
Disappearing from his position and appearing 157 meters, he was shocked to find the creatures right on his tails.
'They're definitely stronger than Nezario and Aegon!'
He thought frantically as he quickly drank the required energy potion in order to continue teleporting.
But it was too late.
The space nomads surrounded the human as they sealed every space node, stopping his ability to teleport.
'Is this also a part of their talent?'
Zhou Zhou was frightened after failing to teleport away.
Quickly thinking of a solution, he suddenly remembered his latest lord talent.
'I hope it works.'
He thought before withdrawing the protection of the Supreme Will from him.
The next moment, he appeared above an endlessly flowing river.
Looking around and finding no creature around him, he exploded into laughter.
"This is no curse at all!"
"It's a fucking blessing!"
Calming down after a while, he began thinking of a way of returning without encountering the space freaks.
"If I activate the protection of the Supreme Will, I will end up exactly where I was, which will signify my death if those freaks are still there."
"I would wait them out, that's at least better than dying."
He came to a decision as he began counting in order to keep track of his time outside of time.
