At exactly 600 Seconds, Zhou Zhou retrieved the protection of the Supreme Will.
"Shit!"
He immediately withdrew the Supreme Will's protection as he returned to the void above the river of time.
"Persistent bitches!"
He cursed as he decided to wait for an hour.
Beginning his counts, he stopped after arriving at 3,600 Seconds.
"You all better not be out there."
He muttered before retrieving the protection of the Supreme Will.
Ahhh!!
Quickly withdrawing the protection of the Supreme Will, Blazing Sun returned to the void outside of time with his severed arm baring hanging on to his shoulder.
"It felt like I was getting split by space itself."
He groaned as he took out several life potions from his spatial ring before quickly drinking them.
After 8 bottles, his left arm was reattached.
"I can't take another gamble on their presence or absent."
He said as he immediately began thinking of a solution.
After more than 20 Minutes, he got an idea.
"Why haven't I thought of that?"
He muttered before carrying out his idea.
Picturing the Hall of Truth in his mind, he took a deep breath before retrieving the protection of the Supreme Will.
Getting ready to immediately withdraw the Supreme Will's protection, Zhou Zhou found himself beside a pillar inscribed with several celestial bodies.
"I... It worked."
He immediately fell on his butt as relief washed over him.
Staring at his subjects engrossed in their training, he nodded his head.
'As for me, I no longer have much to be afraid of after knowing what the lost soul lord talent is capable of doing.'
Teleporting into the first layer of space, he completed the second half of his thoughts.
'It can act as another means of teleportation even though it has nothing to do with space.'
...
An hour and 30 Minutes later, the subjects in the Hall of Truth no longer felt the influence of the hall on them.
Their training session was over.
Standing up from their positions, they all began making their way out of the hall.
10 Minutes later, Hui Teng was surprised that the flow of time was still 10 times faster than normal.
'Isn't the lord done with the Hall of Truth?'
He thought as he quickly asked one of the lifestyle professionals in the second group about their lord.
"I didn't see the lord in my time at the Hall of Truth."
The Black iron-tier shipbuilder said to the vice city lord.
"How can that be?"
"Or did he teleport directly to his mansion?"
Muttering softly, Hui Teng began heading to the mansion at the far south of the city.
Knocking consecutively without getting any response, he decided to barge in.
Entering the mansion, he was surprised to find no one after searching every possible location.
"Just where would the lord be?"
He mumbled as he left to seek the help of the city's military.
Finding the active soldiers in front of the Time Ruin, he told them about the situation.
"Are you saying the lord isn't in the Hall of Truth and also not in his resident?"
Bai Yung asked for confirmation.
"That's right."
Hui Teng confirmed.
"How is that possible?!"
"The lord has never left the city without any of us accompanying him!"
Bai Yung couldn't wrap his head around the news.
"Is there an enemy attack?"
Huang Sai asked while taking hold of his bow.
"Any of us can be captured without a commotion by a threatening enemy, but not the lord."
"He's able to teleport, so he can't be so easily subdued."
Lu Chong said.
"We should keep searching until the lord is found!"
"And make sure no one else but the six of us is aware of the lord's absence!"
Bai Yung said sternly.
"Yes, commander!"
The soldiers received the command as they immediately began their search.
From the summoning gate to the stable, from the gnome shop to the restaurant, from the bath house to the blacksmith workshop, from the woodworking workshop to the steel mill, no place was left unchecked.
The entire city of 900km was thoroughly search.
And the result was...
Zhou Zhou could not be found.
...
"Suck my balls!"
Zhou Zhou laughed as he vanished from the first layer of space before the space nomads could surround him.
"That location is almost a kilometer away from the space creatures."
"They won't get me from there."
He said as he retrieved the protection of the Supreme Will, vanishing from the void outside of time.
Having gotten used to the mysterious appearance and disappearance of the lost soul lord talent, he was able to navigate his way in the first layer of space without returning to the Hall of Truth.
And the influence of the Hall of Truth was always welcoming to his reappearance into the River of Time.
With the space nomads no longer being a threat, Blazing Sun could continue practicing his teleportation without worries.
...
"This is getting out of hand!"
Bai Yung was freaking out as he paced around with his hands on his head.
"Get a hold of yourself, Bai Yung!"
"You are our commander!"
Qin We shouted at Bai Yung as his mumbling got on his nerves.
"Do you think the absence of the lord is the only problem?!"
"We are currently moving 10 times faster than the normal flow of time for almost 4 hours now!"
"Do you think we'll be fine after time is restored to normal?!"
"Hell no! Throwing up would be the least of our concern if this continues for one more hour!"
The spawn of time shouted at Qin We.
"If that's the case, we should immediately vacate everyone from the city."
"We might be able to escape the rapid flow of time after we leave the confines of the city."
Hui Teng suggested.
"That's a go..."
Sun Can couldn't continue his words as he felt a weird sensation from his body.
"Time flow is back to normal!"
After Bai Yung finished speaking, he immediately fell on his knees with vomit spilling out of his mouth.
The same could be said to every single subjects in the city, including Zhou Zhou.
...
Wiping his mouth with a tissue from his spatial ring, Zhou Zhou felt light-headed after he laid on the ground in the Hall of Truth.
"I can't believe I spent over 30 hours in the Hall of Truth!"
"Wasn't it supposed to be 10 hours before the Hall stops it influence on ther users?"
"How was I able to exceed this time limit while still receiving the help of the Hall to advance my skills?"
"If I never reached the teleportation limit my strength level could withstand again, I would've definitely kept going!"
"I can still sense the influence of the Hall around me."
The Child of Space-Time couldn't explain what was occurring with him.
''The differences I can think of compared to other days are the faster flow of time, the training in the first layer of space and my absence from time.''
Already having an answer after he figured out the differences, he rested on the ground while waiting for the arrival of his soldiers and maybe some subjects.
"They must have looked everywhere for me."
"Poor souls!"
He mumbled as the last difference stood proudly in the middle of his mind.
His disappearance and appearance from time was the sole purpose of the change concerning his training in the Hall of Truth.
Every disappearance from time resets his training session in the Hall of Truth, bringing his time spent to 0.
