Chapter 1178 A daring idea

"Mary, considering how nonchalantly you're acting, does that mean that resolving time bubbles is easy?" Lex asked as he flew towards the distant hill, various thoughts running through his head.

"Traditionally, resolving a time bubble is actually very easy," Mary said. Her projection, tiny as ever, was sitting on Lex's shoulder, with one leg crossed and one dangling down. She looked like she was out on vacation.

"Consider it this way. The law governing time is the strongest in existence. Although sometimes it might encounter issues, it is the inclination of the law to automatically return to its most stable state. The law itself will do most of the work for you. You just need to give it a gentle push.

"Of course, that does not mean that it is not dangerous. Remember, there is nothing in the universe that time cannot eradicate, so the tiniest bit of carelessness can result in your death. Also, just because it's generally easy doesn't mean there isn't a chance you may end up encountering an incredibly tough situation."

"That makes sense," Lex said calmly. "With my luck, I already expect to face something ridiculously tough. That's why, even though I've been flying for a few minutes, that hill isn't any closer." Finnd new chapters on nove/lbin(.)com

Lex stopped flying forward, and came to a stand still.

"Not to mention, with my eyesight, how far would that hill have to be for me to only vaguely see it? There's something obstructing me from reaching it, and I am completely incapable of sensing what it is."

Mary, however, was not alarmed by this statement. They were in a time bubble. Although she said it was easy and simple, that was based on her perception. She was born a Celestial. The universe was her cradle, her oyster, her everything. To top all of that off, she had a system with her when she was alive. So her perception of things was skewed.

"Can you really not perceive it?" she asked casually.

Each and every single one of them was experiencing a different flow of time, and that flow depended on whether or not they were trying to approach that hill. It was as if this very place was conspiring against all of them.

Lex had a suspicion that as soon as a single one of the participants experienced 721 hours, the anomaly would occur. It would slow down the flow of time for anyone trying to approach the epicenter of the anomaly, thereby preventing them from reaching it in time, and speed up time for anyone going away from it.

That way, the time limit would be reached long before anyone could ever reach the point of the anomaly.

Suddenly, Lex had a sneaking suspicion that there was more to this palace that met the eye. That much should have been obvious to begin with, but what he was referring to was the Henali's intention in trying to resolve the time bubble in this place.

He felt like someone had hidden something from them in this place, forever keeping it out of reach, or at least delaying them by billions of years. Considering this place could even kill Dao Lords, even the Henali did not dare venture in here, which is why they used the contestants from the tourney.

Lex suddenly became interested in the various other streams. He wondered what else they were having others help them achieve under the guise of holding a tournament? Considering that he was doing the exact same thing with the Midnight Games he could not really judge them. In fact, he felt like he should be taking notes.

This was the perfect capitalist mentality. It was like a company organizing a hackathon, and using genuine problems the company needed to resolve as the theme of the competition, gaining a solution for free from the winners.

"Mary, you said that I can find treasures radiating the aura of time here. You think I could find something that would help me alter the flow of time for myself?"

"Of course."

A very, very daring idea began to develop in Lex's mind.
