At the top of the clock tower, Merlin hesitated. With his strength, there should not be anything in this world that was worth him hesitating over.

He was supposed to be an existence above all life, especially after he had abandoned his past self and created a new body.

But Merlin saw something in Zhou Heng that he was afraid of. If one were to say that he was a god that was about to ascend to the world, then Zhou Heng was a devil that was about to walk in the human world! The only difference between them was that Merlin had foreseen this, and Zhou Heng seemed to not know it at all.

He should not have started a war with Zhou Heng, Merlin had already made his decision.

But Big Mountain would not think as deeply as Merlin, he raised his dodecadecarboxylic acid and rushed towards Zhou Heng, the energy from the spells on his body flowing out without any pattern. Although the current him had obtained the dodecadecarboxylic acid, the power he could unleash was weaker than before when he fought Yu Tianjun.

"How can you have the power of a Magus?" Zhou Heng frowned, he did not have a good impression of Magi.

Before the two sides even got close, Zhou Heng had already swung the jade fragments in the air.

With just a slice in the air, the energy from the spell that flew out from Mountain's body split in half.

The difference in strength between the two was like heaven and earth. If Mountain was still a Spellcaster that was not proficient enough, then Zhou Heng was already a master who had completely mastered all the attributes of Spell Energy.

"Why are you here?" Zhou Heng asked Mountain, he thought that after seeing such a huge gap, Mountain should have stopped, "What kind of secret is in the Bell Tower?" Previously, when he met those Pirate people, Zhou Heng did not have the ability to force them, but now, he could finally solve this question from Mountain's mouth.

But unfortunately, Big Mountain did not answer Zhou Heng's question. He rushed to Zhou Heng's front and chopped down the Demonic Knife in his hands.

Blood! I want to see red blood!

"You're crazy!" The jade fragment in Zhou Heng's hand rose, and with a clear sound of metal striking metal, the jade fragment collided with the dodecadecarboxylic acid.

The dodecadecarboxylic acid's most powerful ability was to be able to infect a person's mind. However, this advantage disappeared from Zhou Heng's eyes, adding that the magical energy in Mountain's main body was also ineffective against Zhou Heng. The battle between the two had already been decided from the very beginning.

Mountain was weak like a baby in front of Zhou Heng.

It was just like the first time they had met at the entrance of Coastal University. Even after such a long time had passed, the distance between the two of them had not shortened at all, and it had even widened.

Bang. Zhou Heng raised his sword with one hand and slapped Big Mountain's face with the other.

The dodecadecarboxylic acid and the jade fragments separated, and the huge mountain which was still holding onto the dodecadecarboxylic acid flew backwards.

If Mountain's body fell directly to the ground from the force of the impact, it would be unavoidable for him to be badly injured. But Zhou Heng did not dare hold back, after all, Mountain had already lost his rationality.

What he needed to do next was to get the information about the clock tower from Mountain, and then he would know why the Heavenly Jewel Master System had brought him here.

For the first time in three years, he felt like he was about to learn the truth.

However, Mountain did not fall to the ground. His body suddenly stopped in midair, as if someone stepped on the brakes for him.

Slowly, a figure floated down from the sky. It was a figure that Zhou Heng was familiar with.

Magus King! Even though he had never seen him before, the first magical energy in Zhou Heng's body originated from the Magus King. Towards this person who almost caused his life to die, Zhou Heng would never mistake him.

"I hope that you do not act in a hurry and show hostility towards me," the golden-haired youngster said as he landed in front of Zhou Heng, "I am no longer the me of the past."

Zhou Heng could feel that the purity of the magic power in his opponent's body had changed a lot. Judging from just this alone, he was indeed like a different person from the Magus King from before.

"Who are you?" Zhou Heng asked straightforwardly.

"My name is Merlin." "M-e-r-l-i-n." He patiently spelled out his name.

"And your name is?" He first reported his name before he asked Zhou Heng. This kind of courtesy made it impossible for Zhou Heng to reject him.

"Zhou Heng."

He had some impression of this name. In the past, he had heard this name from Andrea. But that was all the past, now he was using the new body constructed by the "supreme blood", even the memories in his brain were brand-new.

"I think we can be good friends." Merlin smiled.

Zhou Heng looked at the unconscious mountain floating behind Merlin, and said indifferently: "I think this is very difficult."

"Time will prove my words." Merlin did not lose his smile because of Zhou Heng's indifference.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Heng frowned.

"You must want to know what's in this clock tower and why it has attracted so many people tonight, right?"

"Will you tell me?" Zhou Heng had thought that he would have to fight a huge battle to obtain this information.

"This clock tower is a tombstone." Merlin said as he floated towards the clock tower, followed by the unconscious Mountain. Mountain unconsciously gripped onto the dodecadecarboxylic acid in his hand.

Tombstone? Zhou Heng did not know what Merlin was talking about. Was he trying to guess what riddle it was?

"The past, well, the past is a long time ago," Merlin's voice was very low, but these voices were still able to be heard by Zhou Heng, "There was a great man who died here."

Zhou Heng could feel the sorrow in Merlin's voice.

"He is dead. His strength, his desire, his authority, his wisdom are all lost. But his will is not." Merlin's voice rose a little. "Whoever inherits the will of this great man will find him strength, desire, power, and wisdom."

What the hell was this person talking about? Zhou Heng's mind was filled with fog. Who is the great man? Who inherited the will of the great? How was one to find strength, desire, these intangible things without substance?

To Zhou Heng, Merlin's words were completely illogical. It simply did not seem like what a normal person would say.

Were all wizards so secretive? Zhou Heng thought of the similarly somewhat crazy looking Yue Han and Andrea.

"As I said, we are destined to return here." Merlin extended his hand out towards Zhou Heng.
