Gnate's words naturally conveyed a certain meaning to Bexia, and it made Bexia feel a bit nervous. After all, strictly speaking, this was Gnate's private territory, and entering here was like barging into someone else's home.
"We have no intention of disturbing the Lord of the Dominion, please forgive us!" At this point, Shitian stepped forward and said.
"There's no need for forgiveness, it's rare to come across a youngster here that I find pleasing to the eye!" Gnate's eyes carried a hint of amusement as he looked at Sakuya.
"Sakuya is still young. If she has offended seniors in any way, please forgive her!" Bexia couldn't understand Gnate's intentions, subconsciously thinking that Sakuya had angered Gnate. Instantly, Bexia pulled her behind and nervously confronted Gnate, and even Sakuya's gaze towards Gnate became somewhat fearful.
"Am I that intimidating? I haven't even spoken, and you've left me speechless!" Gnate touched his masked face. He wasn't a ferocious demon; was it really necessary to look so frightened?
"I just feel that this girl has some talent, and it's a bit boring for me to be alone here. I thought of finding a student to pass the time!" Gnate voiced his thoughts. Being able to resonate with the Hourglass of Time indicated a certain level of talent, and he was indeed quite bored here, so finding a student to alleviate the boredom was his plan.
When he came out, he had already planned it out. People who could resonate with the Hourglass of Time would naturally adapt to the environment here, so it was essential to keep someone around to alleviate the boredom. If he didn't find them pleasing, he would take them as a servant. If he found them pleasing, he would take them as a student. Sakuya, with her delicate and pretty appearance, naturally passed the appearance test and became his student.
Of course, here she was just a student, not a disciple. There was a significant difference between the two. Only those who inherited the mantle were called disciples; those who were casually taught were students.
Although Sakuya looked pleasing, making people quite fond of her, for someone of his formidable presence, if there wasn't enough talent to move him, he wouldn't consider taking her on as a disciple.
Sakuya being able to resonate with the Hourglass of Time could only earn her a rather positive evaluation in his eyes.
Shitian, who knew Gnate's origins well, was amazed by Gnate's unexpected reasons for coming out. It inevitably made it look at Sakuya with a hint of jealousy. After all, this was a super powerhouse, even surpassing Mo Zhai, and the rumors had it that he had already transcended the dominion and become an even more potent existence.
"Young lady, shouldn't you thank the Lord of the Dominion?" Shitian looked at the stunned Sakuya and quickly said. Although he was indeed envious, he also knew that such matters couldn't be forced. Besides, he had been living for a long time, so controlling his emotions was not a problem for him. However, Sakuya's next words left Shitian speechless, even surprising Gnate a bit, because Sakuya decisively declined.
"Sakuya appreciates the senior's kindness, but I don't wish to stay here!" Sakuya said, casting a glance at Bexia. Compared to a stranger like Gnate, she preferred to be with people like Bexia or Ophelia.
"Do you know what you're rejecting?" Gnate's voice carried some displeasure. After all, Sakuya's words were a bit of a blow to his face. After all, who was he?
Gnate, the Lord of Time and Space!
This title could make its way through the entire universe with ease. It's worth noting that ordinary dominions were already at the pinnacle of the pyramid in the external universe, not to mention the ancient existence like him. Even Pangu, the creator of the Pangu Supercontinent, the supreme god-level Pangu, had to give him some respect.
This was not just about qualifications but also his own formidable strength. Despite being just a realm god, even Pangu couldn't handle him. Furthermore, he had now reached a bottleneck, mastering 999 laws of the realm god. If he made one more breakthrough, he would become the supreme ruler of time and space!
"Never mind, I won't force you, little one!" Gnate, after all, was a super powerhouse. After giving it some thought, he felt it wasn't necessary to quarrel with these juniors. He had been staying in this realm of time for quite a while, and it was rare to see a few people appear, so he decided to let them accompany him for a while.
"Since you have seen me, it means we have some fate. It's been a long time since I last had guests. As a host, it wouldn't be right if I didn't entertain you all!" Gnate said. In an instant, as he thought about it, Bexia and the rest felt the surroundings rapidly changing. In the blink of an eye, they found themselves on a spacious crystal platform. However, around this platform, there was a unique fluctuation, and in the invisible depths of the void, countless silver blades lurked.
And all this was just an illusion of Gnate's other divine weapon, the Empty-Bright Demon Blades!
"Swoosh!" As soon as Sakuya appeared, she felt a sensation similar to facing the Hourglass of Time. However, this time it was much weaker, and after the strange sensation ended, a silver light appeared and floated in front of Sakuya.
"Gasp!" This time it was Gnate who was surprised because he didn't expect the Brightness Demon Blade to recognize Sakuya as their master. Although it was just one of the illusions, it was still a part of the genuine Brightness Demon Blade. And with Sakuya's low strength, she probably wouldn't be able to control even one illusion of the Brightness Demon Blade. Otherwise, he felt like the Empty-Bright Demon Blades might actually run away with Sakuya.
