642 Truth About Time Difference
I also selected those who volunteered to become fighters in my army. I’d take these few tens of millions back and let them train with everyone else.
Aside from that, the talents here were left for the people working already to guide and supervise them.
“Sigh! It’s done,” I felt a little exhausted mentally from dealing with all these things. I had to do it as everyone else was busy training and getting my capital ready for the upcoming war.
“Come, we will return back home,” I said to my souler general, while feeling the waste of letting him rot inside my inventory.
Just by him standing by my side made me feel like I got a mountain supporting my back.
I opened a portal and returned back to Earth. I stayed here for two weeks, which would mean around a day passed back there.
When I came back, nothing much changed actually. The work was still progressing everywhere, and my forces were racing against time to get in shape.
“Lord… I want to train my boys,” just as I delivered the new army to the training grounds, Lucias said.
“Sure, where do you want to train them?”
“Back at that world of yours,” he said, “I’ll try to get more careful this time.”
“Are you sure?” I didn’t hurry to agree. After all this dude created such a mess back there.
Besides, I was going to train as well. Things would grow worse if both of us got to train there at the same time.
“I won’t train, but lead them to get more benefits from the dense energy there. The energy there is so beneficial for my race. And these boys are quite weak and skinned.”
“Skinned?!” I raised an eyebrow, “I kept feeding them souls without any restraint!”
“It’s not the problem of souls, it’s the problem of cultivation. They lacked their cultivation, ending up so damn weak.”
“I see,” I said, “let them train there then. I’ll leave this task over to you…”
I paused when I got to hear about the cultivation thing. “Damn! I totally forgot!” I slapped my forehead when I recalled the cultivation test of my boys.
We were supposed to get to test the new potions and see their effects. However things went astray, and I ended up losing track of time there.
“Come, let me bring you first into that world,” I didn’t know how long I’d take in this test. So it was better to just deliver him to the second Earth world before doing anything else.
I went back to that world, took out all the soulers from my inventory, even the new ones. I left them at one side, training under the leadership of Lucias.
I didn’t forget the five elites I got. I got them out and simply left them to Lucias to arrange and handle. For me, they weren’t that much stronger than Lucias.
As Lucias swore his allegiance to me, these five wouldn’t cause any trouble for me.
Now… It was time for me to focus over the potion test. Hopefully things would end up quite well for my humans.
I went back and flew directly towards the place of Lily and her men. The size of the altar zone got expanded a lot, making me feel more confident about letting much more delve into cultivation.
However the issue still remained in the process of making potions. Such a process needed lots of manpower, talents, and resources.
Plus time.
I knew even with the increase in the number of altars, with the current production rate, we could at most let ten thousand humans start cultivating before wartime.
“Finally you came!” Just as I got closer from the altar region, I spotted Lily coming from far. She rode over the back of one of my dragons, and shouted when she got nearer.
She got so distressed to the point of going by herself to look for me.
“Sorry for that,” I honestly apologised, “is everything ready?”
“Many, many hours ago,” she jumped over my chariot while rolling her eyes. She waved at the female dragon rider as the girl left in a hurry.
“But you were nowhere to be found! I even asked Hilary and Isac and others about you. And I heard quite interesting story.“
She gave me such a deep look, one that told me she knew about my second Earth and felt like I hid this information off her on purpose.
“It’s just you were quite busy here,” I shrugged as I casually said the reason, “it’s not intentional.”
“Then you can take me over there, right?”
“Now?!”
“Why not?” she grinned, making her fine scales slightly erect, “we waited for you for long hours. Waiting for another hour won’t do any harm, right?”
“Fine,” I didn’t find anything wrong about letting her see this world. After all, I wanted to let her come in and assess it for training purposes.
“Come then,” I opened a portal and led my chariot inside.
“D… Damn it Hye! You seem to have been here for a long time already!!!” The first remark she said after ten minutes of dropping her jaw and opening her mouth was this shout.
She was shocked and impressed, especially when she saw the magnitude of the cities and towns here.
“It’s just a time difference between the two worlds,” I said, “nothing much actually. I got it recently as well.”
“T… Time difference?! The legendary time manipulation skill of the extinct time clan?!!!”
From her tone I knew she got more than I was aware of about the time difference here.
“What do you mean? It’s a thing related to the system and this world here.”
“Time difference isn’t related to anything but the extinct and ancient time clan,” she said in such a firm way, making me realise she was sure of what she was speaking about.
“Time isn’t something trivial, nothing that anyone here in our time and universe can control or interfere with by any means.”
