The time flow rate of the entire dimensional fragmented world began to superimpose crazily.
Toji Hisami stood still, but the auction owner pulled away and watched the changes in the fragmented world from a higher dimension.
Because he did not possess the unique characteristics of time and space, within the fragmented world, either he would speed up as well, or the mysterious man’s spellcasting would fail.
In the entire dimensional fragment world, Toji Hisami was the only person left at this moment, alongside a large number of elemental beings.
Toji Hisami directly divided the conquered elemental beings into two groups. Thirty of them were ordered by him to go to the extreme polar point of the continent, while the remaining seventy stayed in place.
"You will study yourselves in this polar region and choose an element to evolve."
"Those who stay in place should start the path of devouring and circulate their own elements!"
The mysterious man’s requirement was that either all elves contained multiple elements, or there was a separate spirit for each individual element.
This was actually a way to return to one’s roots and rebuild the world.
In Toji Hisami’s previous life, this practice was called Opening Heaven!
After Opening Heaven, heaven and earth divide themselves, and All Things Return to Source.
He didn’t know whether Caesar had tried to blend everything into one or differentiate everything into one, but he wanted to execute both paths at the same time.
This continent was very vast, and the polar region where he had settled the first group was isolated by a large number of mountains, making it entirely self-contained.
The two experiments could evolve independently without interfering with each other.
As Toji Hisami’s order was issued, the seventy elemental spirits that stayed in place began to attack other surrounding elemental beings.
They swooped forward, wildly devouring other elemental life forms and incorporating the elemental energy contained within them into their own bodies.
Their own weak elemental energy would be replenished by the process, while redundant elemental energy would be repelled.
At the same time, time within the fragmented world began to flow at an accelerated pace.
The movements of all life and the evolution of the environment also began to speed up.
Ten times, one hundred times, five hundred times, a thousand times, fifteen hundred times, two thousand times!
The auction owner and the mysterious man were both feeling a faint sense of awe at this moment, because Toji Hisami still appeared completely stable and unaffected.
Seeing this, the mysterious man continued to amp up the flow of time, soon pushing it to three thousand times!
Still no impact!
Down in the venue, the fragmented world displayed to everyone was spinning so fast that it could no longer be clearly seen.
Even Transcendents could only catch a vague outline.
All the Transcendents were left awe-inspiring, and their evaluation of Toji Hisami rose higher and higher, completely shedding any remaining trace of contempt.
The mysterious man added yet another surge of power, increasing the speed of time to four thousand times!
Boom!
The ultra-high time flow rate caused the environmental evolution of the fragmented world to become drastically more intense.
Already heavily entangled, the extremely violent energy flows conflicted with one another, constantly reshaping the fragments.
Elemental life continued to explode into nothingness, but new life would quickly be born anew due to the turbulent surges of gathered energy.
The mysterious man immediately stabilized the flow of time and stopped accelerating further.
It wasn’t because Toji Hisami couldn’t handle it, but because pushing it any faster would cause the changes in the fragments to spiral beyond their control.
At this point, the mysterious man felt an inexplicable sense of horror.
Time and space were unique, and the ability to lock one’s own timeline was terrifying indeed.
Didn’t that imply that, unless a true god intervened, Toji Hisami was immune to all damage caused by temporal manipulation skills?
The super-fast speed made it difficult for the mysterious man to discern what was happening inside the phenomenon.
Only the auction owner at the higher plane could still control the overall situation, and his shock at this moment was no less than that of the mysterious man.
Ever since time had accelerated, the seventy elemental beings left behind by Toji Hisami had begun devouring each other crazily, cycling through an unknown number of generations so far.
Every time a cycle of devouring reached its end, the creature would self-destruct and perish.
Yet because the elemental power persisted, Toji Hisami’s contract with them was not completely severed, and newly born elemental beings automatically remained his subjects.
Since they were his subjects, they still enjoyed the benefits of God rewarding those who worked hard.
And as time passed, the group of elemental beings at the center of the continent gradually began to form the shape of a unified, circular entity!
Even other surrounding elemental life forms were triggered, beginning to follow in their footsteps.
The changes in elemental life naturally affected the turbulent flows of energy within the fragmented world.
Originally entangled into a chaotic mess where the turbulent energy flows could not be distinguished from one another, they gradually converged into three distinct streams.
The auction owner looked toward the extreme polar point of the continent once more, where an entirely different situation was unfolding.
If the energy turbulence at the center of the continent had begun to spiral into a vortex and attempt to return to its origin, then in the polar region, the turbulent flows could be clearly distinguished!
They had successfully separated!
The two experiments were conducted simultaneously. Unexpectedly, the differentiation process had progressed a step faster.
Although the elemental beings living there were not formed from single, pure elements, they were overwhelmingly composed of specific dominant elements.
"The time is coming."
The mysterious man suddenly spoke up at that moment.
His voice trembled slightly, driven by barely contained excitement.
As the owner of the fragments, he could naturally perceive the ongoing changes within the fragment world as well.
Merely observing the evolution process had already granted him a wealth of profound insights.
He was entirely certain that after taking time back to digest and comprehend this experience, his personal strength would usher in a qualitative leap!
Toji Hisami also heard the mysterious man’s voice.
Almost as soon as the mysterious man finished speaking, the entire fragmented world shook violently, and the energies that had evolved into structured patterns rioted once more.
All the progress achieved up to that point returned to extinction in an instant, resembling a chaotic re-evolution!
Everyone down in the venue felt the heavy vibrations transmitting from the fragmented world.
Immediately afterward, they witnessed continuous explosions erupting within the fragmented world, one after another. Given the accelerated flow of time, it was virtually equivalent to the apocalypse.
"It looks like he failed..."
Li Luoer murmured to herself. Count Li Yang said nothing, but his expression indicated he felt the exact same way.
Witnessing the situation unfold within the fragmented world, not a single person believed Toji Hisami could succeed, and a wave of pity washed over the crowd for the young man.
The fragmented world had evidently altered catastrophically due to the ultra-fast temporal flow.
That young man would likely be trapped or exhausted beyond redemption.
The mysterious man ceased his acceleration of time and stretched out a hand to steady the space.
The auction owner also pressed down with his palm, and the combined efforts of the two semi-Divine level bosses finally managed to suppress the violent vibrations of the fragmented world.
Everything inside grew quiet once more.
Toji Hisami watched with a measure of regret as the world returned to peace. With his current level of capability, completing this tier of testing proved a bridge too far.
Just as he stepped out of the fragmented world, the auction owner flew toward him, looking so stirred that he prepared to communicate directly with Toji Hisami.
Yet the moment the auction owner drew close, Toji Hisami’s physical form flashed brightly.
His soul energy had been completely exhausted, causing his projection to transform into a stream of light and vanish from the spot!
In the eyes of everyone in the venue, Toji Hisami had been directly whisked away by the auction owner, much like a rule-breaker being punished for damaging the exhibit!
Many people gasped in surprise, not expecting the auction owner to act with such decisiveness.
The instant Toji Hisami flickered out of view, Caesar prepared to make a move, but right as he raised his hand, the boy was already gone.
Half of the face beneath Caesar’s mask turned slightly grim as he fixed his gaze upon the auction owner.
"Your Majesty, aren’t you being a bit too impatient?"
