Chapter 796: The God of Time

To his left, all the buildings and reliefs were carved out of obsidian, symbolizing the night. To the right, the main structure was made of flawless white marble, representing the day and the light.

Every ten steps along the surrounding walls, there were recesses displaying colossal statues standing over fifty feet tall, each with a unique expression.

Evan carefully examined the relief closest to him on the right side, depicting the form of a young girl in armor. She appeared to be around ten years old, exuding a vibrant aura.

The figure’s posture and expression were flawless, with ivory-like fair skin and armor crafted from gold.

In her tightly gripped hand, she held a slender sword emitting a crimson glow, which seemed to be the embodiment of fire.

Her hair and eyes shared the same fiery color, cascading down to her waist. She was a girl with fiery red hair and blazing eyes.

She possessed an otherworldly beauty, exuding a solemn and dignified aura, seemingly the guardian of this temple, protecting its sacredness.

This relief sculpture alone was a priceless artistic treasure, not to mention the other awe-inspiring decorations.

Corresponding to it on the left side was a statue of a middle-aged man, entirely carved from obsidian, with his weapon replaced by a wand.

As Evan observed, he noticed that all the marble statues on the right side were warriors, while the left side featured wizards.

These were the once mighty warriors and wizards of the sunken city of Ionia whose lifelike forms had been sculpted here to guard the temple. Besides, it was a great honor to have one’s own statue inside this divine place. Behind each statue, there was a wonderful legend.

If circumstances allowed, Evan truly wished to learn more about their experiences and discover the forgotten history that the world had left behind.

In front of him, the outside of the temple was an ambulatory surrounded by tens of huge stone pillars. There was a rectangular water fountain in the ambulatory, which reflected the sunlight from the gate through the water in the pool, making the golden hall even more magnificent.

In the blink of an eye, the hourglass that had just been beside Evan was moved directly to the top and placed horizontally.

Under the influence of magic, the sand inside the hourglass went from left to right, moving one grain a second, just as accurately as it was when placed upside down.

Above the dome around the hourglass were the sun, the moon and the stars, which were centered on the cracks at the top of the rock wall.

Evan turned around, and inside the shrine behind him, replacing the hourglass, was a massive circular pedestal.

He thought there would be statues or sculptures on it, but there was nothing…

No, there was something!

Evan blinked; it was a light blue Time-Turner, absolutely!

He quickly walked over to pick it up, but his right hand passed through it naturally. Everything here was virtual, just a microcosm of the past, not a real existence in the present world.

Evan looked at the Time-Turner and became short of breath.

He felt sure that he had used this Time-Turner before. This was the one he had found in Ravenclaw’s Chamber of Secrets, the one that had brought him back to a thousand years ago…

Why was this Time-Turner here? Did Rowena Ravenclaw get it from this temple?!

Evan had too many questions, but there was no one to provide him with answers.

Immediately afterwards, he hurriedly took out Ravenclaw’s Diadem and the stone tablet he’d got from the underwater city, but there was no reaction.

He didn’t know how to crack the magic here and find out the hidden secrets.

He wasn’t even sure whether everything here was just an illusion of time, giving future generations a chance to admire the glory of the god of time.

While Evan was looking around this exquisite sculpture, the time inside the cave quickly flowed.

Soon, twelve minutes later, the sun in the cracks of the rock wall completed a cycle from sunrise to sunset, and countless stars appeared above the temple.

When the faint starlight fell on Ravenclaw’s Diadem, which had been motionless, it suddenly changed.

The raven in the center of the ring came over again. It picked up the crown, spread its wings and flew, placing it on Evan’s head. Then, it turned into a flame and rushed to merge with the crown. Under the impact of the raven, Evan stepped back.

“Do you want to take the diadem with you?”

When Evan raised his head, he saw a silver-glowing young man smiling at him.

With a simple headband made of vine wood over his head, he was dressed in loose ancient Greek clothes and was only about thirteen or fourteen years old.

What shocked Evan most was that he looked exactly like himself!

Evan carefully looked at him, and he felt like looking in the mirror.

“Long time no see, Evan Mason. Under the arrangement of fate, we meet again!” The teenager said softly, as though delighted that Evan could finally see him. “I was just trying to communicate with you. You seem to be lost in time, and my existing power cannot catch your attention. Fortunately, Rowena Ravenclaw was well prepared. She had expected this to happen, and left magic to show the truth in her diadem. A clever witch, really!”

“Who are you?” Evan paused for a while before continuing to ask, “Do I know you? How do you know my name, and why do you look like me?”

This was really strange. The guy who appeared in front of him was full of mystery. Not only because he looked exactly like Evan, but his attitude was also strange.

He behaved as though he knew Evan very well, but Evan was sure that he had never met or known such a weird guy.

“I’m sorry. I forgot that at this point in time, we should be meeting for the first time. As for my name, in your long history of humanity, I had many names. The wizards of Ionia used to call me Saturn, the God of Time, but I prefer the name given to me by the wizards of the last magical era, Cronos, theTitan,” said the teenager quietly. “As for your other question, why I look like you, this is actually very easy to understand, because I don’t have a fixed form, or a form that you humans can understand. I thought I could communicate with you better in this way. If you are not comfortable with it, I can change it…”

As soon as his words fell, his body quickly changed, as though he’d taken Polyjuice Potion, his whole body was melting.

In the blink of an eye, he became Hermione…
