On the third day at thepetition venue, nine out of ten participants arrived at the venue, leaving only Wilbur absent. There was only a minute left before the venue would be closed off at that point.


    Sade stood on the tform, his gaze sweeping over the nine participants below. When his eyes fell on Herbert, he saw a hint of smugness in Herbert''s eyes. Herbert gave Sade a slight nod in acknowledgment.


    However, footsteps could be heard at that moment. "Sorry, everyone. I''mte." Wilbur walked into the venue, nced at the crowd inside, and he smiled faintly.


    The guards sealed off the venue at that moment. A fleeting glint of coldness shed in Sade''s eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He then turned to Wilbur and said, "Go ahead and join the others since you''re here."


    "Yes, sir," said Wilbur.


    Wilbur moved swiftly and appeared behind the ninth participant in the next second. He grabbed thest number tag, which was number ten.


    When Wilbur showed the number tag to Sade, Sade sneered and said, "It seems you''re not in luck. The number tags were determined by draws, but you ended up with thest number anyway."


    Wilbur smiled and said, "Mister Sade, thest number might end up on top. Don''t you know that?"


    "Oh? Is that so?" asked Sade.


    "Of course. Because the beginning implies an ending, and the ending implies a beginning. It''s the circle of life. I think you should know that, right, Mister Sade?" replied Wilbur.


    "Yeah, indeed," agreed Sade.


    Sade nodded. He no longer wished to waste time talking with Wilbur at that moment. He turned his attention to the others and said, "Very well, now that thest participant has arrived, I hereby announce that today''spetition officially begins. Only one of you will win today, and you only have one chance. I hope you all appreciate it."


    Then, Sade released a powerful energy aura. A massive cubic space appeared before everyone. Sade exined, "Today''spetition involves altering the dimensional time. As a servant of dimensional guardians, you will eventually possess some ability to traverse dimensions. Traversing dimensions is essentially about altering the dimensional time to reach another dimension. Changing the dimensional time requires talent. Since each person''s talent is different, thispetition tests both capability and talent."


    Sade turned his right hand as he spoke, and a clock appeared in his palm. He then focused and caused the clock''s hands to spin rapidly in the clockwise direction. The hands spun quickly in the counterclockwise direction after a moment.


    Sade did not touch the clock''s hands throughout the process, nor did he use any maniption. The movement of the clock hands only proved that the dimensional time within the cubic space had changed. It moved forward at times, and at other times, it moved backward. That indicated that the dimensional time was going forward and backward at the same time.


    Then, Sade emerged from the cubic space and said, "I know that with your cultivation skills, you can create special dimensional spaces and control the dimensional time flow rate to elerate your training. However, if you can only increase the forward flow of dimensional time and cannot make it flow in reverse, you will not pass the test and will be eliminated. This space has been specially treated by me. Your sensitivity to dimensional time will be increased by a hundredfold inside. Now, thepetition begins."


    The first participant eagerly entered the cubic space. Over the next five minutes,


    he first elerated the clock forward by one notch, then reversed it by half a notch.
