The Empire Can't Do It, But That Doesn't Mean I Can't!

In the River of Time, The Collector quietly remained beside the world Shen Lin and the others had entered at the very beginning.

No one knew how long he had waited. Then, at the instant Shen Lin sensed the sun in the Chaos Sea blink,

the dense mist wrapped around The Collector began to churn.

A scarlet pupil slowly blinked once within the mist.

Immediately afterward, his body slowly turned. The pupil glowing with a scarlet sheen looked toward a certain direction.

"I detected the mark of that Outer Void Realm being on you just now. Please be careful. The other party will find this world before long!"

Shen Lin's expression changed slightly, and he asked in a low voice, "How long, roughly?"

Data streams flashed through Luoya's eyes. After calculating for a while, she gave him the answer.

"Three years and five months from now in this world, the other party will arrive here."

"Please make preparations as soon as possible."

Three years...

Shen Lin sighed.
