"Master, no matter how cautious someone is, they would still fail against someone like you, who can overcome any technique with sheer strength. I'm the best example!"
In Woon City, Hammond could confidently say that, apart from the city lord, even if anyone else wanted to harm him, he could survive for three days.
Yet he had run into Li Xin, an extraordinarily monstrous outsider from beyond this world. Forget three days-he had been defeated without even lasting three minutes.
"Tell me every secret you know about Woon City. Also, exactly how strong is Woon City's lord? Do you know anything about the Time Gem?"
Li Xin continued asking.
"Master, the city lord took action once thirty years ago. The strength he revealed then was that of a high-level Warrior Saint.
"I'm not sure exactly where he stands now."
"The Time Gem? Sorry, Master, I've never heard of the Time Gem."
"Woon City's greatest secret lies within the City Lord's Mansion. I don't know exactly what it is, but I do know the secret concerning Woon City and the Beast Tide."
Hammond answered.
"Oh? Tell me, what secret is there between Woon City and the Beast Tide?"
Li Xin asked curiously.
"Long ago, this world was ruled by the Demon Beast Race. Later, the Human Race's Warrior God Hall rose to power. After defeating the demon beasts, humans became the masters of this world."
"And the Warrior God Hall bestowed a treasure upon human cities throughout the world. This treasure can accelerate the Time Flow Rate in one region and slow it down in another."
"In the region where the Time Flow Rate is faster, living creatures' lifespans pass rapidly, while in the region where the Time Flow Rate is slower,"
"their lifespans pass more slowly, thereby extending their lives."
