People in the Alliance, Time Management Master

"As I just said, the time travel is about to end. You can all stay and wait for the results to see if what I said is true."

"Of course, I must obtain your consent before that—the future world is not safe, and whether you go or stay depends on your personal wishes."

"Now, begin making your choices."

Silence fell over everyone once again.

This multiple-choice question seems difficult, yet it also seems there's nothing to hesitate about.

Traveling to the future might make you a hero who saves the world; staying here, you can only wait for the void to descend and then die a miserable death.

According to Mu Bai, if the void is successfully destroyed, traveling back in time will only be equivalent to a few seconds, so there is nothing to worry about in the current time.

If it fails... at least we tried, which is much better than sitting and waiting to die.

“I’ll go with you.” Caitlin was the first to raise her hand, without the slightest hesitation on her face.

“Me too,” Ike shrugged. “I promised you before.”

"The engine is running, we're ready to go anytime." Blitz replied without hesitation.

“Then…and me!” Jinx hurriedly stood up, her beautiful pink eyes fixed on Caitlyn.

Seeing that Jinx and Caitlyn were going, Wei immediately said, "I'll go too."

Jess scratched his head, hesitated for a moment, and then made his choice, "Okay, take me with you."

“And me…” Salafine suddenly stepped forward and took Mu Bai’s arm tightly. “Wherever Mr. Mu Bai goes, I will go.”

Now only Camille and Warwick have not yet made a statement.

The little girl Norma patted Warwick on the shoulder and smiled sweetly, "Let's go too, let's become great heroes who save the world."

"..." Warwick frowned and remained silent. To be honest, he had absolutely no interest in being a hero.

"Come on... if you don't leave, I'm leaving."

"Tsk, what a hassle..."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Mu Bai knew that Warwick could no longer stay.

"Count me in." After a long silence, Camille finally made her choice. She looked at Mu Bai, then at Warwick, and the last bit of resentment in her heart dissipated.

At this point, all nine heroes agreed.

"Thank you all." Mu Bai stood up and bowed respectfully.

The next moment, he suddenly drew his sword while holding the Azure Bird Amulet, and under the astonished gazes of the crowd, he used the blade to stir up a small breeze.

Then, the legendary goddess of wind appeared on a gentle breeze.

She had bright eyes and white teeth, skin as smooth as jade, and a graceful figure. Her long, pure white hair cascaded down to her waist, and her revealing clothing exuded an unusual sense of dignity.

The moment everyone saw her, one word flashed through their minds simultaneously—so beautiful.

"We meet again, dear Wind Rider." Janna floated in front of Mu Bai, smiling broadly.

"Yes, it's a pleasure to see you again, Miss Gana." Mu Bai returned the smile. "Miss Gana, you must have heard our conversation just now?"

"Yes, the wind can hear your voices."

Janna spun around in the breeze, her beautiful blue eyes sweeping over the surprised faces.

"My choice is the same as everyone else's."

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of gasps of shock filled the living room.

The Goddess of Wind... truly exists...

And not only did she have a relationship with Mu Bai, she also willingly went with him? This is just too outrageous...

Caitlin, Jinx, and Seraphine were surprised and also felt a little uneasy.

Did she just refer to Mu Bai as the Wind Rider?

She is the embodiment of the wind, and Mu Bai is the wind rider; the meaning behind this...

Even the Goddess of Wind is trying to steal my man... That's too much...

"Thank you very much." Mu Bai bowed to Janna, then turned to face the crowd, subconsciously ignoring the three slightly resentful gazes. "Everyone, the time travel is about to begin. Please be prepared."

The Enlightenment rune's energy bar should last for about two more hours.

Two hours later, the time travel trip came to a successful end.

Chapter 80: Kasha's Waiting

In the vast wilderness, the girl who had returned from the void sat alone on a flat rock, gazing up at the sky expressionlessly.

Only when there are no living beings around will her second layer of skin become a little more settled and enter a controlled dormant state.

Having shed the shell of the void, her beautiful face was exposed to the air, enjoying the coolness and comfort of the breeze.

This is one of her few forms of leisure and entertainment.

Staring at the sky, lost in thought.

It sounds a bit sad, but for Kaisa it was a real enjoyment and something she had always dreamed of.

During those dark years spent in the void, she longed for light every moment, for the warmth of the sun, the coolness of the evening breeze, and the beauty of the alternation of day and night.

Now, her dream has come true.

But she couldn't feel happy.

She felt loneliness again after a long time—she thought she had completely gotten used to and accepted it, until she made her first friend after many years.

Enduring darkness is not difficult; what is difficult is basking in the sunlight and then returning to the embrace of darkness.

"That's really going too far..."

Kasha sighed softly, her gaze still fixed on the slightly overcast sky. Several geese flew by, their shadows falling on her and merging with her own.

Those cheerful shouts seemed to mock her loneliness.

"Why did they just disappear without saying a word...?"

She hadn't seen Mu Bai for several days. She couldn't find him in the suburbs, nor in the city; it was as if everything that had happened before was just her own fantasy.

This thought made her uneasy.

....................................

In the center of Bandle City, inside the Rune Chamber.

Ryze and Zilean, two old sorcerers, are engaged in a thrilling battle.

“Does it really have to be this way…” Ryze shook his head in anguish. “We’re comrades, friends, and allies… Do we really have to tear each other apart…”

“You’re the one who brought things to this point…” A hint of reluctance flashed in Kieran’s cloudy eyes, but more so in his coldness and ruthlessness.

"Can't we really reconcile?"

“You know, man… it’s all too late.”

"..."

"..."

"Then don't blame me for being ruthless, Zilean!" Ryze roared, unleashing a powerful surge of magical energy from his hands.

Then, he raised a piece and captured one of the opponent's pawns before losing the entire game.

"You've lost again." Kieran smiled as he moved his pieces, securing victory with a crucial move.

In the fifth game, Kieran emerged victorious, bringing the score to five to zero.

"I'm not playing anymore." Ryze shrugged, quickly putting away the chessboard with magic. "You predict the future every time it gets to a crucial moment, how can I possibly win?"

"Hey, don't make excuses."

"You're getting more and more shameless as you get older, Kieran."

"It's alright. All's fair in war, you said it yourself." Kieran shrugged. "Besides, isn't the purpose of our game to mobilize magic and stabilize the runes? What's wrong with me using magic?"

"Okay, okay, you're right... Anyway, let's try a different way to play next time, otherwise I won't have any fun at all, I might as well just stare at the runes."

"Still want to switch? I suggest you stop playing around in the future. If people see you neglecting your duties like this, your image as a leader will be greatly damaged."

"What's there to be afraid of? It's just the two of us in the rune chamber anyway—"

As Ryze was speaking, a dazzling white light suddenly shone in the secret room, followed by a terrifying energy fluctuation that distorted even space itself.

Before the two old magicians could react, ten people, a large robot, and a half-human, half-wolf monster suddenly appeared in the not-so-spacious secret room.

Fortunately, there was a familiar face among them, otherwise Ryze would have used Rune Imprisonment directly.

"Mu Bai...?" Kieran's eyes widened in disbelief. "How did you get back...? Have I been playing this game of chess for days?"

"It shouldn't be that bad."

As the dizziness from the time travel gradually subsided, Mu Bai looked around and felt at ease in the familiar rune-filled chamber.

It seems that Kieran's theory is correct; at least they didn't encounter any unexpected events like spacetime turbulence on the way there and back.

"I came back early—some unexpected events occurred, causing the rune energy to be mostly depleted ahead of schedule."

“I see…” Ryze and Zilean nodded in sudden understanding, then looked at everyone with expectant eyes.

Could a chosen one emerge from among them...?

If we could find a chosen one, we'd be incredibly lucky. This time travel trip only took three days!

"This is...the future world?"

Camille walked gracefully to Mu Bai's side and asked the question that the others all wanted to ask.

Even though they were mentally prepared, they were still deeply shocked.

Time travel... I can't believe such a thing actually exists...

"Yes, yes, welcome to the future." Kieran seemed the most excited, enthusiastically explaining the complex spacetime theory and the apocalypse after the Void invasion to everyone.

Mu Bai took the opportunity to chat with Ryze and briefly recounted the process of this time travel.

Ryze was deeply impressed after hearing this.
