Why Not?

It will do him a lot of good to release the paragons who have a lot of pent-up aggression against the wood elves. They will help to draw attention away from him and also assist him in resisting the two races. He can use every help that he can get right now so freeing them is good.

Gator smiled in return. "So we just have to wait for a few thousand years more. I can handle that. Then I will have my freedom."

He nodded in agreement. "Yes, my breakthrough to transcendence can take a few thousand years. But there is a way to shorten it."

He can break through now if he wants. The major thing delaying him is his stats. He wants to acquire as much as he can now before he breaks through. That could take a thousand years or less if the conditions are right. 

Gator became happier. "What is it? What can shorten the time it will take for you to break through?"
