Chapter 829: The Temporal Axis
Chapter 829: The Temporal Axis
"A Time Anchor?"
"It stabilizes one's perception of time and space, allowing them to escape the chaos of temporal anomalies."
As Lindsey presented the Time Anchor, Leaf Haiya fell silent.
After a long while, the organizer, who was also a powerful Seventh Stage, regarded her 'brother' with a complex expression, seeing how he had transformed in her eyes.
"A perfect item to overcome the current predicament."
"How did it end up in your hands at such an opportune moment? Even among other Awakened at the Seventh Stage, I've never seen such a thing."
Leaf Haiya finally made her judgment:
"Its rarity and power are truly remarkable."
Lindsey smiled humbly, "I'm also an adventurer. After years of effort, I've gathered a few insignificant items."
Instead of probing further into the Time Anchor's origins, Leaf Haiya asked another question:
"Lindsey, if you have this, why don't you just leave this place?"
Lindsey replied frankly, "Just like you have followers who need your salvation, my companions are here too. I can't abandon them and leave alone. So, does this meet your requirements?"
"Absolutely," Leaf Haiya nodded in agreement, but then presented another challenge, "The current problem is how to deliver this into the heart of the temporal chaos in this canyon, allowing their forces to counteract each other."
Lindsey hadn't expected such an answer.
After all, the person before him was a Seventh Stage organizer, one of the most powerful ones! The temporal chaos was indeed a tricky situation.
But with the Time Anchor right here, Leaf Haiya should be able to handle it:
"With your abilities, can't you deliver it to the core?"
Leaf Haiya spoke to Lindsey with a complex tone, "Think carefully, where does an organizer's power come from?"
"..."
An organizer, of course, needed followers to exert their power.
Lindsey instantly realized this.
Leaf Haiya also returned the Time Anchor, "You've also realized that I have no followers here."
"So, aside from the most basic essence manipulation, my current strength is even inferior to a Fifth Stage warrior."
Lindsey recalled how Leaf Haiya had caught up to him earlier, her hand on his shoulder, "But you just grabbed me a moment ago?"
"Haha—"
The girl suddenly laughed, covering her mouth with her hand, her cobalt eyes filled with mischief, "That's because I left a mark of dominance on you."
"..."
"I understand now."
"So, I need to enter the temporal chaos in front of us, find its core, and then insert the Time Anchor."
Leaf Haiya nodded, then pointed her fair finger at herself, "Rest assured, I'll accompany you on this journey."
"Although my strength may not match your tricks, my experience and judgment can provide valuable assistance."
After expressing her attitude, Leaf Haiya looked ahead and suggested a possibility, "Lindsey, you actually have another choice."
Lindsey furrowed his brows, "What do you mean?"
Leaf Haiya explained, "This temporal chaos isn't a simple time-space silhouette."
"With the Time Anchor, you could even remain in this era forever. Then, as a person from the future, you could use your advanced skills to seize resources and establish dominance."
"If this path is followed smoothly, even reaching the pinnacle of essence skills isn't impossible."
"..."
Leaf Haiya's intention was clear.
Lindsey didn't mind using the rules of time to enhance his strength.
Unfortunately, in this distant era, he couldn't choose this path.
"It's a shame, but I have my own aspirations."
The Silver Witch turned her head, her voice filled with genuine appreciation.
"Good, then let's go together."
Lindsey and Leaf Haiya stood side by side, holding each other's hands tightly, ensuring they wouldn't be separated in the chaotic temporal anomaly. They took a step forward, heading into the gorge.
Whoosh—
This temporal distortion was completely different from their previous experiences.
Before Lindsey's eyes, the wide and lengthy gorge suddenly elongated and deformed, rapidly flying towards the front and back. The past and present worlds seemed to overlap on a straight path.
In the absence of a sense of time, the definition of space-time gradually lost its meaning.
The reflected light of symbolic objects turned into slender threads of color, which then mixed with the new creations of the future, ultimately forming a blue curtain of lines.
"..."
Under this interference of light speed, Lindsey's thoughts became chaotic.
The temporal or spatial changes he experienced often occurred in the blink of an eye, and the surrounding environment would transform instantly.
This was the first time he had encountered such an experience.
He tried to use his scouting skills to explore, and the game player's skills worked normally, but as soon as the clue of white light appeared, it was pulled into a thin thread by the long river of time, making it impossible to see the contents within.
"..."
"Lindsey, move!"
At that moment, Lindsey felt a pulling force on his hand.
Leaf Haiya, who was holding his hand, had started moving at some point, trying to pull both of them out of this straight temporal anomaly.
However, they couldn't move an inch, as the speed of light brought infinite mass, locking their bodies firmly in place.
At this critical moment, Lindsey reacted, opening his skill list.
Play—《Faster Than Light》—breaking the light speed limit.
Bang—
Lindsey and Leaf Haiya hugged each other and rolled on the ground.
It wasn't because they were too weak, but the inertia of time was irresistible, pushing them forward.
"Sorry!"
Lindsey quickly stood up.
He remembered the organizer's weakened state and took the initiative to pull Leaf Haiya up from the ground, then looked around.
The gorge from the past had transformed into a completely different scene.
On both sides of the gorge, countless charred houses were built against the walls, and among them were human corpses and lingering essence breaths.
The gorge was still the same gorge.
But after the expeditionary forces had opened it up, at some point in time, people had settled in the gorge.
The subsequent war had completely destroyed everything here.
It had become the ruins that Lindsey now saw.
"..."
Lindsey remained silent for a few seconds and then looked at Leaf Haiya, whom he had pulled up, by his side.
"What happened with the time change just now?"
"I've experienced temporal or spatial transformations before, but none were as intense as this."
Leaf Haiya's voice was weak:
"I'm not sure."
That pull just now had almost exhausted the Silver Witch's hidden strength.
In her current weakened state, not even a fifth-stage warrior, let alone two levels lower, would be a match for Leaf Haiya.
She could only describe her feelings to Lindsey:
"I'm unable to interfere with the flow of time."
"My perception ability just responded, and this should be the core node causing the temporal anomaly."
