CHAPTER 59: CH 59 : APPROVAL

Adam didn’t even bother to feign disinterest this time.

He saved his farming simulator game, the frustration from their last encounter still a fresh memory.

He turned his full attention to Sunny, a flicker of genuine curiosity in his ancient eyes.

"How many talents does your dragon even have?" he asked, guessing correctly that Sunny’s questions were about Nova.

"Initially, she had eight," Sunny began, settling into a plush sofa that materialized for his comfort. "But I removed two and gave a new one. So she was at seven. Now, with the Time Affinity, she’s back to eight talents."

A knowing smile touched Adam’s lips. "That explains it. There are many factors at play here, young one."

"First, the multiple talents of your Nova. Each talent, especially one based on a fundamental law, creates a resonance field. The more you have, the more complex and expensive it becomes to add another"

"It’s a matter of harmonious integration, not just accumulation"

"Second, there’s the inherently aloof and volatile nature of the Time Law itself. It’s not a law that likes to be controlled or confined"

"I also had a hard time convincing the Time Law to let me manipulate it to decrease the time in this space by ten thousand times"

"What you all perceive as the world being ten thousand times faster is actually just this God space being ten thousand times slower."

Sunny listened intently, his mind absorbing this new, profound knowledge.

He could feel the sheer cosmic logic behind Adam’s words, a logic that transcended simple arithmetic.

He noted everything down, considering the day when he might be able to copy the Time Affinity himself.

"And the third reason," Adam continued, his voice taking on a more serious tone,

"is the conflict of the laws. There are already two laws inside Nova. She has both the Law of the space and the Law of magic. These two are already in a delicate balance. If you were to add another, it would require a huge sum of faith to fuse all of them together, to prevent the new law from tearing her apart from the inside out."

Sunny nodded, the pieces of the puzzle clicking into place.

"Similarly," Adam said, a hint of mockery returning to his voice, "there was already a huge field of the Time Law in your God space. If you were to give this affinity here, the price would definitely soar. You should have gone to Veridia to give this blessing to your demigod."

Sunny sighed, a feeling of helplessness washing over him. "I didn’t know."

He stood up and thanked Adam, his mind grappling with this new understanding.

Some laws, it seemed, couldn’t be given to multiple people or in certain places.

"So that means I can’t create multiple Shenlongs or Nova’s. What a bummer."

He felt a sense of dejection upon this realization.

"Well, an elder at home is a blessing, indeed. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to understand a single thing by myself." Sunny praised Adam’s knowledge and experience in his mind.

Sunny walked over to Nova, who was still in a trance, digesting the new affinity.

She suddenly jolted back to awareness and bowed deeply to Sunny, a silent gesture of gratitude for the immense gift.

"Go on, show me your power," Sunny said, pointing in the direction of Veridia.

Nova nodded, a new gleam in her draconic eyes.

She used a time acceleration spell on Veridia.

In a blink of an eye, a whole year of Veridian time passed.

The world below became a blur of accelerated seasons and events.

Sunny was about to praise her, but just then, Nova lumped back to her original spot, her immense body falling with a thud.

Sunny walked in front of her and checked her condition. "No mana left?" he said in surprise.

He couldn’t believe the mana cost for this single acceleration spell.

He manifested a hundred SS-Grade mana fruits and fed them to Nova.

Immediately, she returned to her peak condition.

Sunny asked her about the high cost of the spell.

"Master," Nova replied, her voice filled with earnestness, "the spell I used increased the time speed by a thousand times in an instant. This drained all my mana, but if it’s just 10 times or so, I could maintain it infinitely."

"A thousand times?!" Sunny felt a profound shock.

He ran a quick calculation in his mind. Veridia already ran 10,000 times faster than a regular world.

A thousand times on top of that meant an astronomical increase.

It was clear Nova had pushed herself to her absolute limits to show her master her power.

Sunny then asked Nova to maintain a time acceleration of 10 times.

She did so immediately.

Just then, Veridia went into a blur again.

Sunny couldn’t understand a single thing happening there.

It was like watching a movie at an impossible speed.

He now understood the positive and negative sides of this talent.

But Sunny was no ordinary God.

He used his God’s Eye to its utmost and was able to see everything normally.

He then asked his three watcher clones to use their God’s Eyes to keep their eyes on Veridia.

But just then, Sunny found a problem and asked Nova to stop immediately.

Nova didn’t question her master and immediately stopped using the time acceleration magic.

"The life forms inside the Realm of Advancement will have normal time, while those in Veridia will have fast time. This will create problems for them," Sunny thought.

He quickly found a major issue with his plan.

He didn’t want to become an unruly ruler.

He wanted to build and expand his empire with all of his demigods and lifeforms, not just do it all by himself.

He decided to ask for the approval of all the races.

When the demigods of all the races came to know about this, and through them the life forms also came to know, a debate raged.

This was not just about the time difference between the population of Veridia and the Realm of Advancement; they could cope with that.

The biggest problem was the games.

They couldn’t play with each other due to the time difference.

Video and voice calls would also be nearly impossible.

All of this combined stopped many from approving this notion.

But still, after much deliberation, they decided to approve of it.

They reasoned that this would increase their development and strength much faster.

They trusted their God, Cosmos, to make the right decision for them. Sunny nodded upon this.

His entire talent was based on the time period of Veridia.

If it could be increased by 10x, then he could copy three talents a day, which would further increase his speed by a lot.

Sunny asked Nova to maintain the time acceleration at 10x until he could copy the Time Affinity from her and learn the Time Acceleration magic himself.
