In a luxury room inside a palace, a man was sighing out of boredom.
"There is nothing interesting to do… Still no news about the matter I asked?"
The man turned towards the servants while he spoke, and they replied quickly with fear in their voices.
"No… There isn't any news yet. Please forgive us for not being useful!"
The man was quite annoyed with the way the servants treated him because he didn't like so many formalities.
In fact, that was the man's fault because he was a little tyrant when he was young and every servant in a palace knew that they needed to treat him with the utmost respect. Even the new servants learned that from the old ones.
However, the man changed after experiencing the classic trials of his family, and he felt that he had acted wrong in the past. He never killed any of the servants, but he had been too rough with them.
"Prince! Hot news!"
A servant rushed to the room scaring the rest to death by his lack of manners. However, that servant served the prince's father directly, and it would be hard for the prince to punish him. Moreover, he was bringing good news to the prince.
"Speak."
There was only one topic that caught the prince interest after the trials, and no matter how others in his family told him that was a stupid topic, he was stubborn.
"We discovered that there is a secret organization that has been investigating how to interfere with lower universes. Moreover, they are planning to help one that is in a war with the universe you told us. What should we do?"
The servant already guessed the answer in his heart. Although he wouldn't admit it, he also felt that the prince was being too stubborn with a stupid matter, but at least that was better than how the prince lacked interest from everything before and just bullied others.
"Destroy them and obtain the results of their research. Since those two universes are currently connected, it shouldn't be difficult using the same method to accomplish my objectives. Go! Don't lose more time here. The rest, you are all dismissed for now! I want to be alone for a while."
Everyone left the room at the prince's orders, and the prince smiled in a way that no one in their universe had seen before.
"Finally! It hasn't been a long time for me, but the flow of time differs among the universes, and it isn't even constant, so I wonder how much time passed there."
The prince's warm smile only appeared when remembering his days in a certain part of his trial, but he didn't plan to let others see that smile.
"I wonder how you are doing now, my friend. You were forced to reincarnate for that problem with your soul, and I couldn't help you more due to the trial's restrictions, in the end, I couldn't even tell you the truth."
The prince felt regretful for that, but there was nothing he could do while he was in the trial.
"However, I believe in you. I am sure that you managed to surpass the calamity and continued forward. However, that sword I made for you is limited by the materials despite being flawlessly created. There is no way you can use it eternally, nor others had the capability to improve it."
The prince needed to use a loophole to create that sword, and he knew perfectly that it was something that the natives of his friend's universe couldn't do at all.
It had just been a few moments since the servants went out of the room, but someone knocked on the door, which changed the prince's expression to a gloomy one. He detested when others interrupted him while thinking about his past.
"Who is? I hope that it is important!"
The servant opened the door instead of replying, which was enough for a death sentence, but at that moment, the servant was in a rush. That was the same servant that left just some moments before.
"Prince, we already obtained the results of their research. Your father had personally taken action before I even told you about the matter, so it is already settled."
The prince never expected to everything advancing so quickly and looked to the crystal ball in the servant's hand that was displaying a scene in a mountain peak.
"Prince quickly, look! It is almost impossible that someone of the lower universes managed to break through the restrictions of time, but just now someone is doing it. Moreover, thanks to this ball we can even see the scene! It is a bit delayed and not real time due to the difference in time flow, but it still a unique chance!"
They usually noticed when any lower universe had someone doing something like that, and it had already happened in the past, but it wasn't that common seeing it.
The prince looked to the crystal ball without too much interest, but when seeing the scene, he started to laugh hard.
"I should have guessed it. Who in that universe is as crazy as you! You even obtained the Celestial Knowledge! Good! Very good! This is perfect!"
The servant felt that the prince had gone crazy, but since he had been so interested in that universe, the servant didn't have guts to speak.
The prince looked the crystal ball while a man with white hair and golden eyes was rewriting the past in a lower universe
"As expected from my only true friend. I knew that you would live to fulfill my expectations."
The servant was shocked after hearing the prince's words because he never expected that the man in the crystal ball was a friend from the prince especially since the prince was famous for not having any friend.
Although the servant didn't know why the prince would care from a friendship created in the trial, he felt that it was good for the prince had one friend even if it was an inferior lifeform from another universe. Of course, he didn't dare to speak those words because he believed that the prince would kill him without hesitation given how much he cared for that matter.
"Go and prepare everything to interfere with this universe. Don't worry. I won't break the rules; my interference will be limited. I believe that the man who received the Space-time Judgement Sword that I personally created isn't a weakling who needs me to act for him, but I need to solve a problem I left behind."
The prince knew very well that their universe shouldn't interfere with lower ones, and there were a lot of restrictions, but he was very good at finding loopholes like he did to forge that sword.
After the servant left, the prince prepared for the moment the interference was ready. He knew that connecting both universes would be difficult even with the method that they had stolen from that secret organization.
"Even if it is just for a short time, and we currently aren't using the same names as in that time, Tofesh and Liye will meet once again!"
The prince had quite an attachment for that name because the experience he had with it affected him a lot; it was quite similar to what happened with Liye and the name he used when teaching disciples.
After a while, the prince left his room and walked to where his father was waiting. The prince knew that if he wanted to interfere a bit with a lower universe, he would need to do it under his father's supervision, but since he wouldn't break the rules, that didn't matter and just took it as help to interfere easier than if he was alone.
The prince saw that his father had acted quickly, and everything was almost ready to start the interference. Although he knew that his father wasn't a warm father who would show affection to him, he was still a father that wanted to help his son as much as he could as long that didn't provoke any problems.
Usually, no one bothered about the lower universes, and even those who managed to ascend were treated like inferior lifeforms in that universe, so it was strange seeing an interference by part of their universe's natives, which led a lot of curious people in the palace to be present in the scene.
That secret organization had been formed by people who ascended from the universe that was in war with Yale's universe, and they were trying to interfere to help their universe to win that war. That degree of interference was illegal, and it was a death sentence, so no one felt strange that they were wiped out once they were discovered.
Yale's universe was too young compared with the other one, and they didn't have anyone who ascended to a higher universe, but without anyone in Yale's universe knowing it, Yale was the only friend of the son of someone with a lot of influence in that higher universe.
Of course, the prince wouldn't interfere in the war as being a prince didn't give him the authority to break that rule, but he felt that his friend was capable enough to settle that war by himself.
"Son, prepare yourself. Once we establish a connection channel, you will send a strand of your consciousness there. The connection will only last a short time, so don't waste it."
The prince nodded to his father's words, determined to not waste his time.
