Chapter 667: Chapter 360 “Speculation in the Heart” and “500,000 Years” (Please Subscribe)_1

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, four hundred thousand years had gone by.

During these four hundred thousand years, Milton Cheney did not leave the Ancestral Witch World.

The deductions made in the Wizard Immortal Realm over these hundreds of thousands of years had not yielded any significant results, but neither were they completely fruitless.

At the very least, a direction had been determined.

What was most lacking at the moment was laying the foundation for a new Realm.

If Milton Cheney could master multiple Cultivation Paths leading to the Seventh Stage, then the deduction of the Wizard Immortal Cultivation Path to the Seventh Stage Realm would undoubtedly proceed smoothly.

But this was not easy, at least not for Milton Cheney; achieving this was no small feat for him.

It could not be accomplished by a single True Body Simulation, nor by several True Body Simulations.

To reach this step, he would need at least a few hundred years of accumulation in reality.

Of course, with good luck, it might not take that long.

But that assumption relied on him being extremely fortunate; without it, a few hundred or even a few thousand years might not suffice.

After all, a Reincarnation Simulation is equivalent to an entirely new life.

Not every Reincarnation Simulation could be as fortuitously successful as his last one to the Immortal Realm.

Since acquiring the Simulator, Milton Cheney had gone through countless Reincarnation Simulations.

Among these dozens of times, his Reincarnation Simulation to the Immortal Realm could be said to be the one with the greatest harvest and the best luck.

Such opportunities are not replicable, or rather, they are difficult to replicate — even Milton Cheney himself was not confident of replicating the last Reincarnation Simulation.

“What is to come, will come; those three old fellows must be growing impatient now,” he murmured to himself.

In the Ancestral Witch World, within the Ancestral Witch Tower.

At this moment, standing with his hands behind his back and gazing into the Void Space, Milton Cheney’s face was calm, yet he whispered to himself.

In the four hundred thousand years, although Milton Cheney had made no moves, those three Realm Masters targeting him had been quite active.

In the last ten thousand years, these Realm Masters’ probes into his intents had become increasingly frequent.

They had not taken direct action against him solely because of their concern for his strength.

But even with their wariness of his power, Milton Cheney estimated he could not stall them much longer.

These three Realm Masters were clearly not ones to take action without seeing the rabbit first; they would not rest until they took him and brought him back to the Tide Realm.

“But their desire to take me back to the Tide Realm doesn’t seem to be due to the mission issued by the Tide Realm,” he pondered.

“If my guess is not wrong, perhaps some stronger entity within the Tide Realm has taken an interest in me? Yet the dignitary does not deign to act personally?”

“Could it be the Zero Realm Master?” Milton Cheney thought deeply.

Over these years, he had had numerous dealings with these three Realm Masters.

Having once reincarnated within the Tide Realm and even truly served as the Tide Realm Master, he could surmise quite a lot.

If it were really because of a mission from the Tide Realm, not to mention whether the timing matched, the scale of the operation should not be so limited.

Moreover, from the attitude of these three Realm Masters which seemed both concerned and not concerned, it’s almost impossible it was due to a mission from the Tide Realm.

If a mission were indeed issued against him by the Tide Realm.

Then these three Realm Masters would certainly not have delayed until now, or to put it another way, they would never have afforded Milton Cheney the opportunity to stall for time.

Even if they were not powerful enough, they would have taken forceful action, instead of probing repeatedly, which does not conform to logic.

Milton Cheney could not have guessed any of this if he had never experienced a Reincarnation Simulation in the Tide Realm.

But having reincarnated there, he was quite clear about how frenzied the Realm Masters of the Tide Realm could be when fulfilling missions.

After all, from its inception to the present, the probability of a failed mission from the Tide Realm stands at zero percent.

And there’s another point, which is that Milton Cheney was acutely aware of his own situation.

Setting aside the Simulator as an External Plugin, he wasn’t so unique to warrant the Tide Realm personally issuing a mission against him.

As for the possibility of the Tide Realm discovering his possession of the Simulator, Milton Cheney didn’t even consider it because it was fundamentally unthinkable.

If the Tide Realm could indeed detect the Simulator, then Milton Cheney wouldn’t have survived until now.

Because during his once Reincarnation Simulation in the Tide Realm, he might already have been sanctioned.

Thus, the high probability was that these three Realm Masters were acting on behalf of someone else.

Milton Cheney was not unfamiliar with the Tide Realm, he could even say that he knew it very well.

At least within the entire World Sea Region, apart from the various Realm Masters of the Tide Realm, there were certainly others who knew the Tide Realm better than he did, but they were not particularly numerous.

Someone capable of outright instructing three Realm Masters could only be a Realm Master stronger than them, vastly stronger, in fact.

At least within the top hundred, or even within the top ten of the Tide Realm Master ranks.

Among these Realm Masters, several were on the verge of Transcendence.

At this juncture, those Realm Masters who had half-stepped into the Transcendence Realm naturally would not let go of any opportunity.

Even the slightest chance.

At this moment, Milton Cheney represented such a slight chance.

Most beings half-stepped into the Transcendence Realm might not care, but there was always one who would.

This also explained why, after thirty million years, when nearly all of those who were not in the Wizard Realm had died out, suddenly three Realm Masters came looking for Milton Cheney.
