In the middle and upper dimensions, where countless cultivators existed, and daily slaughter was common, numerous storage rings were sent to various stores. To remanufacture these storage rings, their functionality was often destroyed, melted down, and reshaped into new rings. As a result, the items originally contained in these storage rings could only flow into the Time-Space Sea. A cultivator with the privilege to enter the Time-Space Sea and select items essentially possessed a vast treasure trove. Leaving the demiplane, Wilbur was overjoyed. He then looked at the Light Armor piled in a box and tried to reassemble it with his mind. The Light Armor sensed Wilbur's aura and automatically reassembled it, but when Wilbur reached to take it, it shattered again. It turned out that although the Light Armor reformed under Wilbur's perception, it did not truly merge into one. Although Wilbur could create a dimension, he could not fuse the Light Armor. He was puzzled and disappointed
In the following five years, Wilbur practiced the technique of retrieving ownerless items from the Time-Space Sea daily. Since Wilbur was cultivating in the Dragon Confinement Spell, where the time flow was a hundred times faster than the outside world, five years outside equaled five hundred years within the Dragon Confinement Spell. After five hundred years of cultivation, the Time-Space Sea skill of the Fire Dragon Ring had advanced from the beginner level to the intermediate level, allowing Wilbur to retrieve ownerless items from the Time-Space Sea twice a day. On the day the dimensional guardian's servant selection competition officially began registration, the venue was very quiet, with only fifty people signing up. In fact, if it had not been for the battle with the No-Night and the cultivators, there would have been even more participants. Heaton had originally estimated that there would be around a thousand participants. Now, having only fifty participants was within Hea
The first attempt ended quickly in failure, as the man's energy aura was unable to attract the black energy ball at all. The man looked at his palm and frowned, saying, "How… How is this possible?" He then changed to a different energy aura and tried again. This time, the black energy ball was attracted and slowly approached his right hand, eventually being successfully controlled by him, taking five minutes. For the third attempt, the man adjusted his state and managed to control the black energy ball in three and a half minutes. The second cultivator tried three times. The first two attempts failed, and in the third attempt, he barely managed to control the black energy ball in six minutes. The third cultivator took seven minutes. The fourth took five minutes. The fifth took five and a half minutes. Among the remaining twenty or so cultivators, everyone took more than five minutes, with no one achieving three and a half minutes. This piqued Wilbur's interest in the firs
"Alright." Wilbur agreed and then went to the tavern with Herbert. After ordering two beers, Herbert looked at Wilbur across the table and said, "Do you have confidence in completing all three tests? Although you passed the first test today, there are still two more tests. I think you might not be as lucky as you are now." "Same goes for you, Herbert. Are you trying to make me withdraw from the competition?" "There's only one spot available, so I hope you'll step aside." Wilbur looked at Herbert seriously and replied, "Everyone knows there is only one spot. It's not just me. If you plan to win the competition by convincing me to withdraw, I suggest you try persuading someone else first. If everyone is willing to withdraw, then I will too. Otherwise, I will compete until the final day." "You're quite the stubborn one. Well, let's see how it goes, then. Cheers!" Wilbur clinked his glass with Herbert's and then drank the beer. After leaving the tavern, the two parted ways. W
"Having something of this scale happening so recently, I don't think it's over so soon, Wilbur. From now on, we'll have to be more careful," said Heaton. "I understand, Mister Heaton," said Wilbur. The next day, all the participants who advanced to the second round returned to the competition venue. Sade stood beside a massive swimming pool, and he was holding a tiny black bead the size of a bean in his hand. He said, "I will throw this black energy bead into the water in a moment. It will dart around underwater once it enters. Each of you will only have ten minutes and one chance. If you can capture the black energy bead within ten minutes, your time will be recorded, and the best will be selected. Otherwise, you will all be eliminated. There are only ten spots available for this test. Now, let's begin." Sade threw the black energy bead into the water after speaking. The bead dove in and moved like a small fish. It darted and swam rapidly underwater. Its speed was over ten times
He lacked patience, so he chose to attack randomly, unleashing energy strikes across various parts of the water's surface. He created numerous splashes, but the black energy bead was never blasted out of the water. He was eliminated for exceeding the ten-minute limit as a result. The third contestant took notice of the first and second contestants' experiences. He stood there and observed for two minutes to figure out the route of the black energy bead. Then, he started to unleash energy strikes. He successfully completed the test on the eight and a half minutes mark at the end. Subsequently, the other cultivators followed the example of the first and third participants. Among them, five managed to record their times, while the rest were eliminated. The next participants with the numbers seventeen, eighteen, and nineteen, were two spirit curse cultivators and one talisman cultivator. Unlike the previous contestants, they did not follow their method. Instead, they used their spiri
Herbert seemed to be able to read Wilbur's mind and said, "Mister Penn, please remember that the dimensional guardians are without emotions. They suppress their own will to serve the will of the universe dimension. Everything they do is an inevitable part of the universe dimension's operation. This means they won't give special consideration to you or me because of their emotions. I understand this is harsh, and I know your dream is to go back in time to prevent a disaster, Mister Penn. But to be blunt, it's almost impossible. Serving a dimensional guardian is like serving the will of the universe dimension itself. How could the will of the universe dimension, which is predetermined, be easily changed? Thus, becoming a servant of a dimensional guardian only serves to erase a cultivator's emotions and will, turning them into a servant of the dimension's will, and ultimately, enslaving them." … Wilbur kept contemplating what Herbert said on the way back. If what Herbert said was true
On the third day at the competition 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 platform, 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'm late." Wilbur walked into the venue, glanced at the crowd inside, and he smiled faintly. The guards sealed off the venue at that moment. A fleeting glint of coldness flashed 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 the last number tag, which was number ten. When Wilbur showed the number tag to Sade,
Faye was clad in a beautiful wedding dress, hardly needing any blusher for how red her cheeks looked. Wilbur was also looking dapper in a fine tuxedo, and the bride and groom went around toasting to their friends one by one. Both their parents were overjoyed, knowing that their children had finally ended up with someone so wonderful. Everyone else was also brimming with smiles, drinking up a storm as the night went on. These people were all friends or subordinates of Wilbur and wanted nothing more than the best for him and Faye. There was no wedding emcee, and the ceremony was extremely simple, but the atmosphere was incomparable as everyone was nothing but smiles. The reception lasted all the way until late into the night, and even the newlyweds' parents got a little tipsy. The banquet ended at last, and the guests ushered Wilbur and Faye into their new bedroom. The newlyweds sat down facing each other, locking eyes. Faye lowered her head bashfully, and Wilbur looked
It was evening on Sealake Island when Wilbur returned. He stood on the long bridge, overwhelmed with emotion as he let out a hint of his aura. The island grew abuzz at once, and a series of familiar figures fought their way into Wilbur's line of sight. Wilbur smiled, stepping onto the island slowly. His smile grew as he came to the square, taking in the sight of Faye, Elsa, Faron, Shepard, and many others. Everyone else stared back at him, unable to hide the emotion on their faces. It had been so long since they had seen Wilbur, and there was no way for them to reach him. Words could not describe how much they had worried about and missed him. "I thought you were never coming back, Wilbur." Faye was the first to speak. Wilbur walked up to her, taking her into his arms. "I'm sorry. It'll never happen again. Everything's over now, and I'll never leave you again." Faye's heart soared as she broke out into overjoyed sobs. Everyone else was nothing but joyous as well. Fo
Bahamut, being a reincarnation of Kaiser himself, came slithering toward Wilbur. They both turned into their human forms, and a fierce battle broke out once more. Kaiser channeled his energy into Bahamut's body, giving Bahamut the upper hand over time. At last, Bahamut severely wounded Wilbur with a blow of his sword, causing Wilbur to fall from mid-air. "Hahaha!" Kaiser appeared suddenly then, laughing loudly. "Nice work, Bahamut." "Thank you, Master." Bahamut retreated behind Kaiser, looking at him coldly. He whipped out a dagger from his sleeves all of a sudden, driving it deep into Kaiser. Kaiser flipped around sharply, grabbing Bahamut's wrist and glowering at him. "Have you lost your mind?" Just then, the Dark Lord's voice sounded from Bahamut's throat. "You've stopped me many times now, Kaiser Fern! There's no way in hell I'll let you become the ultimate elite!" A furious Kaiser reached out to grab Bahamut's head, sucking him into his body. An explosion sounded throu
Just then, the Cold Lord muttered a spell. A series of snowy mountains descended from above, one of them striking Wilbur and Augheimer as the Cold Lord cackled. "Haha! Is that all you've got?" As his words rang through the air, the snowy mountain exploded with a loud boom into countless icy fragments to reveal Wilbur and Augheimer, standing tall and completely unaffected. "What?" "These imbeciles!" the Flame God shouted. The air around turned into a sea of flames at once, burning away relentlessly, but they vanished as soon as they came in contact with Wilbur and Augheimer's defense barriers. The Earth God shouted, "I'll settle this!" He muttered a spell, and the ground cracked open as Wilbur and Augheimer fell into a bottomless abyss. The Earth God smirked, and the crack began to close up. Yet just a few seconds later, the ground exploded as Wilbur and Augheimer flew back up. The Tornado God cast a spell to bring about a fierce gust of wind filled with countless razor-sh
The next second, Wilbur's Magic Dragon Blade made a gash in the air. The two men then wove through the gash, making their way to the lower dimensions from the upper dimensions and returning to Earth. The gash closed itself up, and a powerful wave of black miasma surged into the oceans from the heavens. It cleared up within a few minutes, and Earth was turned into a dark space. Several big fissures appeared in the heavens as the evil gods descended on Earth. The Blood God, the God of Destruction, the Cold Lord, the Flame God, the Earth God, the Tornado God, the God of Bloodlust, and the Snake God—all eight evil gods had descended upon Earth at the same time. Wilbur summoned the broken pieces of the Light Armor from the Fire Dragon Ring. The pieces radiated a white glow as they hovered in mid-air, and Wilbur quickly used his mind to put them together before wearing the Light Armor on his body. "Hahaha!" The Blood God laughed loudly. "I guess the universe dimensions aren't all
Hailey and Kayleen ducked out of the way before the pillars of light reached them, darting up to Sade at the last second as Hailey drove her sword into him at the same time Kayleen did the same with her spear. Hailey glowered at Sade. "You're the one who's really despicable here, Sade. Say goodbye to the world forever!" "Arghhhh!" Sade's body exploded in a flash of white light, disappearing out of sight. Hailey and Kayleen both got down on one knee. "At your service, Masters." Just then, Wilbur and Augheimer looked at the two ladies at the same time. Augheimer said, "At ease. You can both go back now, your work here is done." "Yes, Master." Hailey and Kayleen disappeared the next second. Just then, a fierce wind rolled over as a pillar of white light descended from the heavens as Odysseus appeared in front of the two men. "Wilbur Penn and Augheimer. I’ve finally found you. Tell me where the dimension guardians are, and hand them over!" A gleeful Odysseus reached out t
Sade threw his head back, laughing loudly. "No one has the right to replace me, no one! I'm the real dimensional guardian, the leader of the galaxy!" Just then, two figures appeared in the sky. They were Hailey and Kayleen, two of the other dimensional guardians. Hailey was holding a long sword as she scowled at Sade below her. "You went against the rules of the universe and changed its functions, Sade. And now you've killed Wilbur Penn, the cultivator who was supposed to replace you. For that, Kayleen and I are going to kill you today." Sade smirked at those words, not looking shocked at all. "I knew you two would never let me go for killing Wilbur. But he's already dead, and I still need to maintain order in the universe as a dimensional guardian. Even though you two may hate me, you can't kill me or you'd be going against the rules of the universe too, and have to be sentenced by Mister Richardson. Trust me, you won't end up in much better of a state than I'm in." Just then
Augheimer asked out of confusion, "What? To the upper dimension? All of a sudden?" Wilbur looked flustered, he replied, "There's no time to explain. Odysseus will be here in a while, and we won't be able to escape." Sade looked at Wilbur. He told Augheimer, "He's right. Believe him. Why would your close friend lie to you?" "That's right. He's a dimensional guardian, Sade. I begged Sade to go back in time here. Hurry up and come with me, Augheimer!" "Thanks, but if we're leaving, we should at least go to Buck Town and meet Felix one last time, right?" asked Augheimer. Wilbur looked at Augheimer in the eyes, there was a sense of familiarity that welled up all of a sudden. Wilbur instantly realized Augheimer had a secret in Buck Town, and perhaps it was very important to Augheimer. He helplessly nodded and replied, "Alright, we'll go to Buck Town first." Then, the three of them came to Buck Town through a transportation array. Augheimer grabbed Wilbur and ran. He said, "Run! F
"Damn it! Your second wish was supposed to be mine!" yelled Odysseus. Odysseus once captured a dimensional guardian's servant by chance, and he used him as leverage to obtain his final two wishes. His first wish was for Sade to guide him to the most powerful power of light spell. His second wish was for Sade to lead him to the Death Scepter. Odysseus mastered the power of two types of laws, the power of light and the power of death. He quickly grasped the intricacies of the power of death due to his unique talent. Odysseus wielded the might of both supreme spells with the Death Scepter and the most powerful power of light spell. Therefore, Odysseus gained immense confidence. His capabilities far surpassed most upper dimension cultivators, but he remained in the middle dimension. His desire was to once again capture a second dimensional guardian servant. Odysseus planned to acquire the Death Cloak by obtaining the servant's wish. Ultimately, he would combine the Death Cloak, D
