In the blink of an eye, a thousand years had passed. Heaton once again set out


    for Scardir Town, this time for an important matter. The City Lord had invited the top one hundred cultivators to discuss something significant.


    Heaton would stay in Scadir Town for five hundred years.


    During this millennium of cultivation, Wilbur increased his cultivation by ten thousand years. His understanding of space-time also reached a new level. Taking advantage of Heaton''s absence, Wilbur used the Dragon Confinement Spell.


    Within this space, where time flowed ten times faster than the outside world, Wilbur attempted to increase the speed further. This time, he seeded in elerating the flow of time to twenty times that of the outside world.


    After cultivating for five hundred years in the Dragon Confinement Spell, Wilbur made a third attempt before leaving. This time, he increased the flow of time to twenty-five times.


    The faster the passage of time, the stronger the cultivation power required, often exponentially so. Wilbur realized that further increasing the speed within the Dragon Confinement Spell would be increasingly difficult.


    However, what Wilbur had not anticipated was the bad news Heaton brought upon his return: the Silver Dragon World had been destroyed by a cultivator.


    "What?" Wilbur abruptly stood up from his chair and eximed, "The Silver Dragon World was destroyed by a cultivator? Was it because of a battle between cultivators, where the energy was so immense that it tore apart the Silver Dragon dimension?"


    "No," Heaton shook his head. "It was a single person."


    "One person?"


    "Yes, it was indeed just one person."


    "One person destroyed the Silver Dragon World?" Wilbur''s face showed utter shock. He gritted his teeth and asked, "How is that possible?"


    Heaton shrugged helplessly and said, "No one wants to believe it, but it''s the truth. And I believe that within a few days, we will hear that the Golden Dragon World has been destroyed as well."


    "What? Within a few days? Could that cultivator really destroy two worlds in such a short time?"


    "Quite possibly."


    "Then why... why didn''t the dimensional guardians stop him? Why would they allow him to do this?"


    Heaton shrugged again and said, "Every dimension has its own cycle of renewal. The dimensional guardians only do what is within their duties ording to the established order. This time, the appearance of that person did not prompt the guardian to act, so it seems that the time for a dimensional renewal hase." "What do you mean?" Wilbur, still bewildered, asked.


    Looking at Wilbur''s confused expression, Heaton exined, "It might be hard for you to understand right now but remember this: if the Azure Dragon World cannot be defended in the end, then the upper dimensions will undergo a renewal. When that happens, all cultivators in the upper dimensions will perish."


    "What? This is..."


    Wilbur was stunned. He had thought that if he continued to cultivate diligently, after ten thousand years, he could increase his cultivation and be a servant of the dimensional guardians, allowing him to return to the timeline of the middle dimensions. But now, it seemed that an unprecedented situation had arisen.


    The upper dimensions were undergoing a renewal. If the three major worlds were destroyed, all cultivators in the upper dimensions would die.
