Chapter 931 -60: Riddle 2
“Am I pretending to be confused, or are you just trying to make conversation?”
“Alright, I admit it, I was indeed just trying to make conversation. Isn’t it to get closer to the Saint?”
“There’s no need for that.”
The two exchanged a few words before falling back into silence.
However, the Element Sage remained calm without showing any emotions, while Mr. Xu Jing smiled pleasantly, looking quite delighted.
No one knew what Mr. Xu Jing was so happy about.
The Special Ruin World that had become Elise Clark’s Destiny World, coincidentally, was undergoing a rather distinct change at this time.
It was so evident that one could see it clearly from the depths of space.
Starting from the Ruins of the Demon City, where Link had been twice, the spread reached the entire metropolis of the Special Ruin World, causing every high-rise and low-rise building to collapse.
And then disintegrate.
Dust returned to dust, soil to soil, metal to metal.
Beneath the Special Ruin World, there seemed to be a giant waste recycling system, which was now reclaiming any recyclable materials.
The collapse and disintegration lasted for quite some time.
The Element Sage and Mr. Xu Jing were very patient, standing in the cosmos and watching.
This wave of change in the Special Ruin World, the collapse and disintegration of the metropolis, was only the beginning, not the end.
Within the entire planet, all man-made structures would eventually be “recycled”, and all traces of human activity were to be completely eradicated, except for one thing that could be preserved.
That was the geography familiar to many, associated with Elise Clark.
The method of preservation was also quite unique.
Once the disintegration of “man-made” structures concluded and the Special Ruin World returned to a barbaric state, the real commotion — the movement of the Earth’s crustal plates — began.
Lands and islands scattered throughout, under some will’s command, re-“fused” into one single continent.
It was as if a series of natural phenomena like volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and earthquakes occurred.
After all the turmoil, the continent was torn apart, scattered into lands and islands.
And thus, the geographic features familiar to many, associated with Elise Clark, were roughly formed.
This also meant that this massive change in the Special Ruin World had come to an end.
From this, one could infer that Elise Clark must have successfully advanced to a level six sage.
Otherwise, the Special Ruin World would not have undergone such major changes.
What followed for Elise Clark was to transform the Special Ruin World, her Destiny World, into a genuine civilization and rectify its deficiencies.
Only then could she continue to ascend to Great Sage.
Of course, this was Elise Clark’s own affair.
Whether the Element Sage or Mr. Xu Jing, they were not concerned with this matter.
What they were both interested in was the relationship between Elise Clark and the second light!
Whether the “ruins” whispered by Link’s Life Light, the direction it pointed to, was indeed the Special Ruin World!
“Saint, what do you say now?”
Having indirectly witnessed Elise Clark’s promotion, Mr. Xu Jing broke the silence and asked aloud.
“Nothing much to say, I’m not in a hurry anyway,”
replied the Element Sage nonchalantly, with a light and breezy tone.
“The Saint isn’t in a hurry, but is the Supreme Council not in a hurry either?”
Upon hearing this, Mr. Xu Jing countered and self-mockingly added, “Anyway, the Celestial Court is in quite a hurry. I’m not sure why they’ve become so eager all of a sudden to ascertain the exact nature of the second light. We had so much time before, with ample room to maneuver, and nobody rushed; now it’s all rush and urgency, really giving one a headache.”
“It wasn’t the right time before, so there was no rush,”
explained the Element Sage succinctly.
“What time is it now?”
Mr. Xu Jing seized the opportunity to ask, probing for secrets he didn’t know even with his status and experience.
“If you want to know, go ask the Ancestor Heavenly Master yourself.”
The Element Sage was not one to indulge Mr. Xu Jing’s curiosity, speaking bluntly, “Ask me similar questions again, and I’ll treat you as a spy and capture you.”
The words and actions of a Saint can never be false.
Having said so, the Element Sage would certainly act on it.
Mr. Xu Jing was not a stubborn man; knowing how to read the room was a basic skill, so naturally, he wouldn’t “provoke” the Element Sage after a boundary had been set.
Moreover, with nothing left worth watching in the Special Ruin World, Mr. Xu Jing bid farewell first and promptly departed.
Although this trip still didn’t confirm the exact situation of the second light, it ultimately provided a direction for the investigation and a specific target to focus on.
It was a small victory better than none at all.
It would suffice to report back to the Celestial Court.
The Element Sage lingered for a while but didn’t do anything else and then left.
After a long time, Elise Clark, returning to the Wizard Civilization Universe at some unknown time, emerged from her Destiny World into outer space.
She looked at the place where the Element Sage and Mr. Xu Jing stood without concealment, expressionless, with no stir in her heart.
After watching for a while, Elise Clark returned to her Destiny World and, through the anchoring point between the Destiny World and the Wizard World Homeland, returned to the Wizard World Homeland.
Just at this moment, Link woke up from his sleep.
“A month and a half?”
The first thing he did upon waking up was to check the time and to his surprise, he let out a gasp after finding he had slept for so long.
For Sage-level wizards, apart from being seriously injured, sleep is generally unnecessary.
Why would he sleep for so long this time without sickness, disasters, or injuries, just feeling tired?
“Forty-five years?”
Soon after, Link exclaimed in shock again.
Just now, he, as if blessed by a sudden epiphany, sensed his lifespan and shockingly discovered something even more bizarre.
His lifespan had actually decreased by forty-five years!
The only thing he did before sleeping was to activate the Life Light at the coordinates that should have been the heart of a Special Ruin World and listen to the whispers.
He hadn’t anticipated the cost would be so heavy.
It appeared that the overlapping state of being in different universes and different time flows was not an illusion but something that had truly occurred.
The fatigue of his body stemmed from this overlapping state, and so was the reduction in his lifespan.
After the initial shock, Link quickly calmed down.
What had happened had happened, no need to let his emotions continue to fluctuate.

To solve problems as they arise and overcome difficulties was the way to go.
Continuous emotional disturbance was not desirable.
Quickly putting aside the impact of his extended sleep and the reduction in his lifespan, Link began to attend to pressing matters, checking whether the Starship had reached its pre-sleep navigation destination.
This Starship, unrighteously acquired from Lotson, proved to be the export version of the supreme class of Starship from the Celestial Court civilization.
Noticing Link was in a deep sleep and not fit to deal with matters, it automatically altered the navigation plan, cloaking and cruising near the set destination coordinates.
It kept close to the destination without straying far and also avoided many passing interstellar battleships and probes.
“Find an opportunity to snatch another one, for Jasmine’s use,” he muttered to himself, and Link input the command, steering the Starship toward the destination.
Before long, Link returned to the Wizard World Homeland.
On his journey back, he also sent a message to Elise Clark, inquiring if she had returned to the Wizard Civilization Universe.
In Link’s exchange with Elise Clark before returning to the Wizard Civilization Universe, although not explicitly stated, he gave a suggestion based on an unspoken understanding.
Elise Clark would surely comprehend Link’s invitation for her to meet in the Wizard Civilization Universe.
As the Starship was granted permission to enter the Wizard World Homeland, Link received Elise’s response, a set of coordinates.
After going through an application process and one teleportation, Link finally saw Elise Clark.
On the lakeside lawn of the Revosorath Academy Junior College.
The place where Elise Clark first pronounced the word “television” to Link in perfect Mandarin Chinese.
Elise Clark mischievously kissed the spot on Link’s cheek.
Years had passed, and the lakeside lawn remained as it had been.
From the original two Wizard Apprentices, one had become a level six sage, the other had reached a level of strength not measurable by standard ranks—a Supermodel Five Level Sage.
Elise stood by the lake, her hair lifted by the gentle breeze, serene and peaceful, no longer manic, no longer afflicted by split personalities.
Link approached slowly, his features still firm with determination, no longer hiding fear in the depths of his eyes.
Times change, people change.
“Link, during the time we were together, what happened?”
Elise turned around to face Link and asked softly,
“Do you still remember?”
