Everyone paused, looking towards Dao Feng with surprise.

At that moment, Dao Feng’s gaze was unfocused, as if conversing with an unseen being —

"The Second World is undergoing a crisis, the King of Hell has joined forces with Moon Clan’s Shuang Sha..."

"We’ve done all we can, but still can’t resolve the crisis, please find a way to save The Second World..."

"We can’t wait that long... We’ve already been infected by the Death Plague, and will die in two days..."

"I have received the legacy of the Third World Takasma, you may discuss this with him..."

Everyone held their breath, listening intently, although they couldn’t hear the Sword Emperor’s voice, they could infer the contents of their conversation from Dao Feng’s words.

"Alright! I’ll do my best!" Finally, Dao Feng uttered the last sentence.

His gaze refocused, turning to look at everyone, he slowly said, "Brothers, I’ve contacted the Sword Emperor, he agreed to grant me power and contact the Third World’s Main God Takasma, but it will take around ten days."

"Ten days?! That’s way too long!"

"We’ll be long dead by then! The Death Plague will strike in two days!"

"Is there no way the Sword Emperor can speed things up?"

...

Everyone started speaking at once.

Dao Feng looked up at the sky, and said solemnly: "Rule constraints prevent deities from directly interfering in the Mortal Realm. The Sword Emperor can only bestow power upon me indirectly, but even that is extremely difficult, ten days is the shortest time, it can’t be sped up! We must try to find other ways, and see if we can buy enough time."

Everyone shook their heads, furrowing their brows.

"It seems that the Heavenly Patching Fragment is indeed useful, since Dao Feng can communicate with the Heavenly Divine Spirits this time, we should be able to as well, everyone keep trying!" Thunder God said, raising the Pillar of Sea God once again.

Everyone else resumed their previous attempts, trying to establish communication with their respective powers.

Sure enough, half an hour later, Giant Bear and Thunder God both made breakthroughs.

Giant Bear successfully communicated with Heaven Realm’s God Hunter, although not The Second World’s God Sealer, the God Hunter was willing to bestow power upon him to help The Second World out of this crisis.

However, the God Hunter would need at least seven to eight days to accomplish this.

Thunder God successfully communicated with Heaven Realm’s Sea God, but encountered a time issue as well, the Sea God needed seven to eight days too.

Afterwards, each reincarnator sought communication with their aligned powers, Kid even reached out to a notable figure in the Temple of Life, who forwarded his plea to the God of Life.

However, even the God of Life couldn’t offer assistance in two days, such magnitude of power requires several days of preparation.

If they could resolve the time issue, then the combined power they communicated with could help solve this crisis in The Second World.

Now, they faced a single problem — there was no time!

The Death Plague would not delay its onset due to their will, in two days they would succumb to its poison.

"Since we all lack time, let’s find a way to gain some, doesn’t the Ice Queen have Georgia’s Divine Artifact? If we could communicate with Georgia, we might gain more time," Heavenly Dao suggested, looking up at the sky.

"Yes! Georgia had connections with the God of Time back then, even if she cannot offer us more time herself, if she could enlist the God of Time’s help, then we wouldn’t have to worry about time at all," the Pope also agreed.

"I can’t reach Georgia, she’s been missing for several eras!" Suddenly, the Ice Queen’s voice resounded from the sky and echoed through the land.

"Georgia is missing?" Everyone was taken aback, the Holy Giant Dragon Georgia was one of the earliest God Sealers, leaving few deeds behind, that many weren’t well acquainted with her.

"No, Georgia has already surfaced." Suddenly, a massive Golden Holy Dragon spoke, it was Dragon Spike in his Dragon Clan form; he raised his enormous dragon head, looking at the sky, and understatedly said: "I’ve just communicated with the three Supreme Dragon Emperors of the Dragon Realm, they said earlier the God of Slaughter released Georgia’s lover [Dragon in the Sky] from Heroes’ Prison, all this time Dragon in the Sky has been desperately searching for Georgia, just recently he managed to sense Georgia’s presence, she’s resurfaced in the Heaven Realm."

"Oh? Georgia has resurfaced?" Suddenly, a semi-transparent figure appeared in the air, a woman wearing a white dress, radiating icy blue light, none other than the Ice Queen’s phantom form.

Her expression showed slight surprise, she held tightly onto a pocket watch, precisely the controlling device given to her by the Dean, known as [Time of Georgia].

"I felt it too!" Little Rascal also spoke up, "I tried reaching out to the Ancestral Dragon, he’s in a half-asleep, dazed state, and I saw Georgia’s image in his thoughts, possibly indicating Georgia has resurfaced."

"If that’s the case, then let me try again." The Ice Queen said, immediately tossing the pocket watch in her hand towards the sky.

In an instant, the pocket watch enlarged by billions of times, resembling a giant clock in the sky, the red hand moving clockwise, emitting a clear "tick-tock" sound, echoing across the world.

Meanwhile, the Ice Queen’s phantom form closed her eyes, remaining motionless.

Everyone focused on the pocket watch, their eyes following the hand as it circled round and round, the rhythmic "tick-tock" echoing their heartbeat, while distant clamorous attack sounds continuously sounded.

"Crack~" At this moment, the massive pocket watch phantom shuddered suddenly, the red hand abruptly halted, the "tick-tock" sound ceased instantly.

For that moment, time seemed to pause, appearing extraordinarily long.

After a while, the red hand suddenly began moving again, but this time it rotated counter-clockwise, the sound shifted into "tock-tick"!

"Quick, look at the countdown for the Death Plague’s onset!" exclaimed Dante, his eyes widening, seemingly witnessing something unbelievable.

Everyone quickly checked their negative status, discovering a remarkable change —

Death Plague onset countdown: 52:37:46

Death Plague onset countdown: 52:37:47

Death Plague onset countdown: 52:37:48 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

...

"The countdown is increasing!" Ganges exclaimed in surprise.

"No, it’s not increasing, time is reversing! Going back!" Thunder God muttered.
