Chapter 1776: Chapter 1337: The Key is the Increment

In the skeleton of the Monarch, tiny stars were gathering more and more, as if stars were converging. The more stars gathered, the brighter he and the skeleton became, like a dazzling starry sky.

Witnessing this scene, Anthony finally couldn’t hold back: "I’ve decided. From now on, we’ll call it the Star Skeleton."

He really couldn’t think of a more fitting name.

Negris, looking at the Monarch’s skeleton, thought of King Fei Lie, and had to admit: "Alright, there’s really no more suitable name than this. With the power of that King Fei Lie, it’s hard to classify it with the Black Crystal Skeleton, but Chaos Black Crystal is easily confused. So we’ll call it the Star Skeleton."

After saying that, Negris couldn’t help but worry: "But is just having the breath of death enough? How long did it take the Old Immortal to cross from Mourning to Black Crystal? He boasted it took him tens of thousands of years, and from Black Crystal to Star is an entirely new realm. Can he make it?"

Who knows how much time passed before Negris slapped himself: "This mouth of disaster."

Obviously, he was right. As the dots within the Monarch reached a certain point, they could no longer increase, no matter how much breath of death he devoured, it wouldn’t change, held there.

The Monarch clearly noticed as well, pondering while dragging the bodies.

At this moment, Anthony suddenly remembered something: "Huh, how long has it been? Why hasn’t Yennefer returned?"

After saying this, Anthony suddenly realized something: "No, something’s not right. It seems I’ve neglected the passage of time, how long has it been?"

Negris looked at him, puzzled: "What do you mean?"

"I’ve neglected the passage of time. I can’t remember how long we’ve been in here. Can you?" Anthony asked.

"How long since we came in? We came in... came in... we must have been in here a long time, right? A third of the bodies in the sky have been dragged down, but I can’t remember how long it’s been, it’s so strange." Negris said blankly.

Everyone perceives time differently. Someone with diarrhea while the restroom is occupied would surely feel time is long.

But others are others, Anthony is Anthony, he has his own way of estimating time, even if blindfolded, his estimation wouldn’t be far off.

But now, he realized he had completely neglected time. If he hadn’t suddenly remembered that Yennefer hadn’t returned, he might not have noticed the passage of time.

If it was Negris, it could be attributed to being too immersed, unable to perceive time’s passage, but for Anthony, this situation was very unusual.

Ursman also noted: "It seems I’ve neglected it too, I can’t remember how long we’ve been in here either, this Space-Time Domain seems strange."

The Space-Time Domain can actually make people ignore the passage of time? Just ignore, not forget, obviously not mandatory, however, it did make Anthony forget time, so much so that he didn’t even notice that Yennefer hadn’t returned.

"Could they have encountered enemies on the way? Or did King Fei Lie arrive? Or some accident happened? It had the imprint for opening the Teleportation Gate." Anthony said.

The Space-Time Compass has Teleportation Gates to all dimensional spaces, but Ange doesn’t have the time to find out which dimension those Dragon-Men are hiding in, so he gave Yennefer an imprint. As long as it returns to the dimension where the Dragon-Men are hiding, it can open a Teleportation Gate from that dimension to the Space-Time Compass.

But so much time has passed, and the Teleportation Gate hasn’t opened. Either Yennefer hasn’t found those Dragon-Men, or Yennefer is lost.

Anthony thought about it and said: "I’ll go out and take a look."

"What if you encounter King Fei Lie?" Negris asked.

"Have Lord Anthony revive me." Anthony replied.

Activating the Teleportation Gate, Anthony first arrived at the Ancestor’s Tomb, as Yennefer left from there. There are two Space Rifts here, one is a lighting window, and the other is much smaller, obviously intentionally set, otherwise a dimension wouldn’t have two Space Rifts connecting different places.

Exiting the small Space Rift leads to an anchor point area filled with rifts. Anthony used Soul Shift to arrive in front of the rift, squeezed out, and saw a Dragon-Man flying outward in the distance.

"Yennefer? It’s back? Leaving again for what?" Anthony wondered, using Soul Shift to approach Yennefer from behind.

Yennefer, who was flying forward, sensed something, turned back cautiously, and was surprised to see Anthony: "Lord Anthony, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

"I was about to ask you, where are your clansmen? Why are you going back again? Did no one come?" Anthony asked.

"Again? Didn’t you tell me to go back to get people? I’m going to find my clansmen." Yennefer replied, somewhat confused.

Anthony sensibly realized something was wrong: "Are you saying you’ve just left the Ancestor’s Tomb, just separated from us, and haven’t found your clansmen yet?"

Yennefer, already prone to suspicion, became alert immediately: "Yeah, are you not Lord Anthony?"

Anthony no longer had the time to deal with Yennefer’s wariness, a flash crossed his mind: The Space-Time Domain has no time!

The Space-Time Domain has no time, that’s why he would neglect time, because without time, although they seemed to have stayed in the domain for a long time, only a little while passed outside, Yennefer hadn’t gone far.

Oh my, if the Space-Time Domain has no time, doesn’t that mean that no matter how long they stay inside, outside time remains still?

What could such a domain be used for? A thousand possibilities flashed through Anthony’s mind.

Throw a bunch of common people in, train them for years, then pull them out, instantly becoming well-trained soldiers...

Throw in a bunch of scholars, let them do endless research, instantly producing countless research results...

Throw some knight novel authors inside, let them write to death, instantly countless knight novels to read...

And...

Anthony, excited, couldn’t be bothered with Yennefer, turned around and ran back, using Soul Shift twice to reach the Teleportation Gate, opened it with the imprint, and darted inside.

As Anthony stepped into the Time Domain, he found the situation had greatly changed. The sky, now entirely covered, where before two-thirds of the Dragon-Men’s corpses were floating, had now entirely settled onto the Space-Time Chessboard, whereas the Monarch had floated into the sky.

Seeing him return, Negris blinked in confusion and asked: "Why were you gone for so long?"

Suppressing his excitement, Anthony asked: "How long was I gone?"

Negris, perplexed, thought for a moment and said: "Didn’t notice, but felt like you were gone a long, long time."

"Nine months." Ursman interjected from the side: "I’ve been counting, marking a vertical line every three thousand six hundred counts, a set of four verticals and one horizontal for five hours, here it has... roughly been nine months."

The dense sets of four verticals and one horizontal represented the time during Anthony’s absence; the Space-Time Domain had already passed nine months.

Anthony excitedly said: "You won’t believe what I’ve discovered..."

Before he could finish, Ange suddenly said to the Undead King in the air: "King, the key is, increment."
