Milton Cheney had become so accustomed to longevity that he subconsciously stopped considering time as time itself.
He didn't care about time, and naturally, he didn't care about the so-called lifespan either.
After all, what difference did it make if other wizards lived longer? He had the Simulator, and perhaps a hundred years of his lifespan were equivalent to tens of millions of years for other wizards.
Indeed, the Simulator had subtly influenced him over time.
Since these influences didn't affect his memory, Milton didn't normally take them seriously.
It wasn't until Potosà pointed it out that Milton began to realize it.
"I've been through too many simulations, and they've instinctively led me to somewhat disregard the passage of time," he mused.
Milton felt a sense of solemnity in his heart at that moment.
If he had not noticed these influences, perhaps they would have grown incrementally over time.
