Time began to reverse for the Golden Scholar.
It was as if someone was rewinding a movie. The Heavenly Emperor, who had just fused with his body, started to separate from him again.
With a serious face, the Golden Scholar shouted, "Path of time, obey me!"
Inside his body, a similar power of time began to spread and go against the Heavenly Emperor's [Light Wheel Reversal] magical technique.
The Heavenly Emperor's power wanted to free itself from the Golden Scholar's body, while the Golden Scholar's power wanted to keep the Heavenly Emperor in place. The two different forces of time were in a stalemate.
Within the Golden Scholar's body, a woman's voice sounded. "It's too risky for you to forcibly absorb the Heavenly Emperor this way. You should spend some time with the Heavenly Emperor and figure things out so that you can have a much smoother merging."
