At this moment, Lotson suddenly shifted the topic.

“Yes.”

Facing Lotson’s inquiry, which seemed more certain than dubious, Link decisively admitted.

It was mere curiosity, and not something disgraceful.

“Do you want to know the answer?”

Lotson raised an eyebrow, and his expression, along with his tone, suddenly became somewhat frivolous.

He was just like a slick young man on the city streets who opens his coat to hawk shady DVDs lined along the interior.

“If you’re willing to tell me, I’ll listen. If you aren’t, or if I have to agree to some condition to hear it, then I won’t. You can either speak or not; the choice is yours.”

Link gave his stance very directly, showing a tough attitude.

The tougher the attitude, the more it could overpower others.

Lotson was genuinely taken aback, with words stuck in his throat that he desperately wanted to spit out but couldn’t.

From the exchange between the two, it was clear that Lotson had asked for the confrontation.

In a word, serves him right!

So, in the end, Lotson held back his retort, neither complaining nor striking back.

After taking a few deep breaths and adjusting his easily fluctuating emotions during the “Metamorphosis Period,” Lotson took the initiative to reveal the answer, “I came to the Parallel Universe to go through the ‘Metamorphosis Period’ for two main reasons. One is that my True Spirit remains unharmed, and my connection to the Wizard World Will is actually tight enough that resonating with another ‘Metamorphosis Period’ would be more harmful than beneficial; and two, the Wizard civilization that used to support the coexistence of nine Saints may not be able to anymore.”

After a pause, Lotson became serious and looked directly into Link’s eyes, saying solemnly, “You are on the path of creating your own Construction Wizard Sect, and I have seen all the information you’ve made public. I think it’s very good, with a lot of potential. If it develops well and stays on the right course, you might even have a chance at becoming a Saint.”

“But what?” Link asked, anticipating the inevitable turn in the conversation. “People usually say such things right before a ‘but’, so I’m waiting to hear yours.”

Link didn’t let the praise for his self-created Construction Wizard Sect from a Reincarnated Saint cloud his judgment; he remained incredibly cool-headed.

He was even proactively dousing himself with cold water.

“Ha.”

Lotson laughed in appreciation of Link’s composure, “Since you want to hear the ‘but’, I’ll talk about it.”

After a moment, Lotson sighed deeply and continued, “But, it’s not the case that the more Saints there are, the stronger the Wizard civilization’s comprehensive power is. Wizards are human, and no matter how high their position, they remain human at their core, unlike our mortal enemies in the divine civilizations who abandon all humanity in pursuit of power and rules. Moreover, Wizards value freedom. What tends to happen when humans desire freedom?”

“Differences!”

After giving it some thought, Link uttered a word.

“Exactly, differences!”

Lotson affirmed Link’s view and went on to explain, “Not all differences can reach a consensus, which leads to arguments, opposition, and strategic games. In other words, internal strife. Whether there are nine Saints or five Saints, both being odd numbers, means that when consensus can’t be reached, they can still resolve differences through voting. But…”

“But nine is greater than five, and that brings greater uncertainty and complexity to the negotiations,” Link said, neatly finishing Lotson’s thought like a straight man in a comedic duo.

Lotson nodded in agreement with Link’s follow-up comment before tossing out a reminder or perhaps a piece of advice, “So if you have grand ambitions and want to strive for sainthood, you must focus your development on the Parallel Universe. The Age of Dharma Decline in the divine civilizations is not the same as the Age of Dharma Decline in Wizard civilization, understand?”

“Not quite.”

Knowing what you know and admitting what you don’t, Link didn’t pretend to understand and candidly exposed his ignorance.

Then, Link made a request, “Could you explain the meaning of that statement in more detail?”

“Let me explain.”

Out of the blue, a third voice joined the conversation between Link and Lotson.

Before the voice had even finished speaking, a figure arrived.

The newcomer was none other than the long-absent Mr. Xu Jing.

Given Mr. Xu Jing’s position, realm, and strength, it was natural for Link not to have detected his approach.

But had Lotson noticed?

Being an Ancestor Heavenly Master was equivalent to being a Saint in the Wizard civilization.

Given Lotson’s current strength, it was understandable that he had no means to counter many of Ancestor Heavenly Master’s strategies.

“`

But it absolutely should not be that even when Mr. Xu Jing is near, one could not detect him.

Link thought about it and immediately understood that when Lotson said, “The Age of Dharma Decline of the celestial civilization does not equate to the Age of Dharma Decline of the Wizard civilization,” it was meant for Mr. Xu Jing to hear.

Even, to speak more conspiratorially, was it also intentional when Lotson mentioned the potential for growth of the Construction Wizard Sect that Link had created himself?

It was very possible.

However, one cannot see into the hearts and minds of others, and Link could only speculate, not confirm.

In the blink of an eye, with myriad thoughts whirling through his mind, Link calmly pressed down on them, and with a composed face, he responded to Mr. Xu Jing’s sudden appearance and interjection, politely bowing and kindly requesting, “May Mr. Xu Jing please enlighten me.”

“I dare not enlighten, but we can exchange ideas.”

Mr. Xu Jing nodded in return and immediately said, “This place is not good for chatting. You two have been walking for a long time and must be tired. Why not come to my Heavenly Master’s Mansion to rest your feet?”

Link did not immediately respond but looked towards Lotson.

No matter what, Lotson was a reincarnated Saint, and that fact must be fully respected.

This is called “Position,” as well as “Emotional intelligence.”

“I have no objections. What about you?”

Lotson shrugged his shoulders, showing an indifferent attitude, but he also returned the respect to Link.

Understanding the gesture, Link smiled and said, “Mr. Xu Jing generously invites us; it would be impolite to refuse, so I shall impose on your hospitality.”

“Please, this way.”

Mr. Xu Jing did not continue with pleasantries, but gestured with his hand.

No sooner had the sound of his voice faded than a light gate with a style leaning towards the Wizard civilization appeared out of nowhere.

“What is this?”

Upon seeing the light gate for the first time, Link was filled with questions.

Lotson looked carefully at the light gate for a moment, his brow slightly creased, then relaxed, and with a smile playing on his lips, he looked towards Mr. Xu Jing, waiting for an explanation.

Mr. Xu Jing said indifferently, “As the Saint mentioned, the Age of Dharma Decline of the celestial civilization does not equate to the Age of Dharma Decline of the Wizard civilization. Faced with the impending crisis of the Age of Dharma Decline, the celestial civilization pledged to do everything possible to survive. Attempting all feasible methods included cooperating with the Wizard civilization’s Supreme Council, forming allies, and establishing a foothold in each other’s universes. Another method was to actively absorb the knowledge of the Wizard civilization, to learn and transform to weather the crisis. This portal is the result of the Heavenly Master’s Mansion learning from the advantages of the Wizard civilization’s Inter-Dimensional Teleportation Portal, combined with the teleportation arrays inherent to the celestial civilization, to develop a new spell.”

After listening to Mr. Xu Jing’s explanation, the doubts in Link’s mind dissipated immediately.

Simultaneously, Link also noticed that the halo forming the base of the light gate was indeed quite different from the Rune Array of the Wizard civilization’s Inter-Dimensional Teleportation Portal.

“Learning from the West to enrich the East, combining domestic and foreign knowledge?”

All of a sudden, a piece of history from his past life jumped into Link’s mind, bringing these eight characters to the forefront.

Immediately, Link realized and looked deeply at Mr. Xu Jing.

Having pursued the path of a True Spirit Wizard several times before, Link paid particular attention to the defense of his mental sphere.

The process and feeling of recalling these eight characters felt eerily familiar, and he suddenly awakened to an insight.

Was this “laying a trap” or “having another agenda”?

Mr. Xu Jing returned the gaze with an open smile, not feeling as though using some small tactics was anything significant.

In a desperate bid for salvation, there is no shame.

“Please.”

Once again, with a gesture, Mr. Xu Jing led the way into the light gate, then waited on the other side for Link and Lotson.

Lotson gave Link a sly wink, a gesture full of inscrutable meaning, and followed through the light gate.

Unconcerned with Lotson’s sudden and inexplicable jest, Link calmly made his way to the other side.

Mr. Xu Jing waved away the light gate and, leading from the front, took Link and Lotson directly into a grand and solemn hall.

The hall was very spacious, with only one person present, the Ancestor Heavenly Master, whom he had met once before.

In the hands of the Ancestor Heavenly Master lay a nondescript little stone.

The moment Lotson saw the stone, his eyes widened in shock, and he exclaimed:

“A star!”
