Although the number three years was fabricated by Long Yi, he too wanted to buy himself some more time. Whether it was the soldiers of the two great Empires training for the construction of the Divine Armor, the research on the Cosmic Accelerator, or even Landers' research on Reverse Summoning, all these things needed time. What Long Yi was least afraid of now was the start of war, because he was certain he could win. But what would happen after winning? As long as he hadn't found a way to enter the middle Plane, it would be a loss for Long Yi.
Long Yi taught Elma a magic system that was a hybrid of White Dragon Empire magic and some Giant magic. He meticulously selected some knowledge that appeared complex and could genuinely enhance Mana effectiveness to impart to Elma. Poor Elma had no idea just how many detours he had taken to learn this knowledge because he was constantly immersed in the joy of his ever-increasing abilities.
