Lord Wizard: Starting your studies with infinite magic crystals!

An hour later.

Wayne came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, changed back into comfortable short-sleeved shirts and shorts, and his bad mood dissipated.

After sitting down on the sofa, I looked towards the kitchen, where Aurora was preparing dinner.

"Aurora, pour me a glass of juice."

"Yes, young master."

"Coming right away!"

A moment later, Aurora came over with a glass of juice and handed it to Wayne. Wayne took it and drank a sip.

Aurora had just sat down when she asked, "Young Master, why did you suddenly turn on me today?"

Wayne shook his head.

"It's not that we've fallen out, it's just that I don't want to have any contact with that sixth princess. She talks like she's treating people like idiots."

"To act like a fool?"

"Young Master, I didn't recognize it."

Wayne couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and then comforted him, "It's okay, you knights are strong, you don't need to be able to tell."

"Young Master!!!"

Wayne raised his hand in surrender. "Just kidding."

"Which sixth princess was talking about other princes and princesses vying for the throne? She didn't even laugh when she said that."

"Others may not know, but I learned from Instructor Philna that His Majesty came from the Holy Domain Continent to unify the entire Noble Clan Continent. He will not abdicate until this goal is achieved."

Aurora touched her chin.

"But the royal heirs are indeed vying for power, and my father is one of the candidates they're trying to win over."

Wayne rolled his eyes.

"You should be glad you have a good father. If your IQ hadn't been sent to me by your uncle, you would have suffered a major setback sooner or later."

He then directly countered with a question.

Has His Majesty chosen a successor?

Aurora shook her head.

Seeing this, Wayne snapped his fingers. "That's right."

"If His Majesty were to consider abdicating, do you think he wouldn't be grooming a successor?"

Wayne shook his head and answered directly.

"Of course not."

"What you're talking about—the struggle for the throne—is nothing more than a struggle for resources."

"The reason I said she wasn't sincere was because she actually said that her older brothers and sisters couldn't understand it."

"This is the capital city, with the best educational resources and the largest concentration of talent. Don't assume that every member of the royal family is so stupid, given their elite education. Even if there are spoiled brats, surely they have a few smart people under their command?"

He spoke with a hint of impatience.

"I think the one who really can't figure it out is her, and I seriously suspect she has rebellious intentions."

"what?"

Aurora was so shocked by this statement that she couldn't close her mouth, and she was also quite frightened by Wayne's unconventional words and conclusion.

He didn't speak for a while.

"No way, you know we have the Temple and the Tower of Truth above us maintaining order."

"And young master, where did you get that conclusion?"

Wayne chuckled and shook his head: "Just guessing. Someone like her is either genuinely as foolish as she appears, or she's just pretending."

"And after hearing what you just said, I'm now more inclined to believe the latter, that is, she has rebellious intentions."

Why?

"Because our first reaction is that there is a temple and the Tower of Truth above us maintaining order, no one would betray us."

Then he said something that terrified Aurora.

"But precisely because of this, when the vast majority, even 99 percent, of people believe in this order, it may very well be an opportunity."

"So she's going to rebel!"

Wayne chuckled. "So what if she rebels? Besides, nothing's happened yet. Just stay away from her."

"There's no point in thinking too much about other things, and this is just my guess. It hasn't come true yet, and whether it will come true is still a question. Let's leave this topic here." (The foreshadowing will come true; this isn't just filler.)

Aurora nodded, still shaken, and stood up, saying, "Young Master, I'm going to cook. I need to calm down." She then headed towards the kitchen.

Wayne simply shook his head at this.

"Ultimately, it's a difference in fundamental background."

Aurora couldn't see through it, but it was too simple for Wayne.

Just like in the history of the previous life, when Wu Zetian became emperor, the civil and military officials at that time probably racked their brains and could only think that Wu Zetian would rule from behind the curtain and control the government like Empress Lü of the Western Han Dynasty. No one thought that she would become emperor.

After all, the prevailing thought at the time was, "How can a woman become empress?"

Even Li Zhi, before his death, probably only wanted to control the government and take back power when the young emperor grew up. But it was precisely because of the previous examples that when everyone thought she wouldn't do it, it became her opportunity.

All the empresses and empress dowagers of previous dynasties won this opportunity for her, which enabled her to ultimately leap to the throne and become empress.

If there were any precedents like her, do you think Li Zhi would have taken her away before he died?

And with such a historical example, at this very moment, when everyone thought she wouldn't do it, the opportunity has arrived.

As for why Wayne still calls this a guess when the conclusion is so clear, it's because Wayne still hasn't figured out how she would handle the consequences of rebelling, regardless of success or failure, especially when facing the questioning of the two dominant powers hanging over humanity.

That's why Wayne could only speculate.

…………

It was 9 p.m.

Wayne leaned against the headboard, examining the 'Seed of the World' in his hand, which emitted a silvery-white light.

"It's time to try something salty."

With a light tap on the void, an array unfolded. Wayne probed the Seed of the World with his mental power and quickly imprinted it.

Along with that, a message entered Wayne's mind, which he received with his eyes closed.

After a while.

After processing the information in his mind, Wayne opened his eyes and looked at the World Seed in his hand with a somewhat helpless tone.

"No way?"

"Could it be that we bought a global version of an accelerator?"

It's no wonder Wayne was so helpless, because the information he just received contained the basic information about the Seed of the World.

And the information is displayed.

This World Seed originated from a World Seed born when one of the planes called the Law Plane, known as the 'Planet of Time,' shattered.

As its name suggests, this Seed of the World contains the laws of time. Once cultivated, time inside it is many times greater than time outside, and this time continues to increase as it grows.

The problem is that Wayne doesn't cultivate the laws of time at all, but instead focuses on the laws of metal, and his fundamental affinity is also the metal element. This is the real reason for Wayne's predicament.

As for the so-called time acceleration...

Wayne is even less suited to use it. He would be overjoyed if he were to transmigrate to a world of cultivation or other resource-scarce worlds, but the world he is in is rich in resources, and he also has an infinite cheat ability. With these two factors combined, the Seed of the World seems rather useless.

(The Seed of the World is very useful and a key element in the later plot; this isn't just filler. It's just that it seems useless compared to the current protagonist.)

(Take a guess at what this Seed of the World is used for!)
