After spending around a century, Song Ankang had set up dozens of Time Dao Arrays across several dozen key areas of the Song Clan. Through these Time Dao Arrays, members of the Song Clan could use one year as though it were many years, rapidly raising their cultivation and realm.
Using these Dao Arrays required the expenditure of family merit. Each Time Dao Array was divided into countless small rooms, generally arranged in nine levels, with millions upon millions of rooms on each level. The first level could amplify time by two to ten times, the second by ten to a hundred times, the third by a hundred to a thousand times... and so on. The ninth level could even amplify time by a billion times.
In other words, one year could be used as a billion years. Of course, if one did that, most people would reach the end of their lifespan and die within that year, so basically nobody would do so.
But even without doing that, being able to use one year as a thousand or ten thousand years was already incredible.
Through these Time Dao Arrays, the Song Clan and the Human Race could rise at an unimaginable pace and accumulate the foundation they ought to possess.
Naturally, the side effect was that many Human Race descendants might look somewhat older. After all, although the Time Dao Arrays could amplify time, they could not stop one's lifespan from draining away.
After all, this was not within Song Ankang's main body world, but merely a group of Dao Arrays he had arranged, and they were still within the main world. It was basically impossible to slow the consumption of lifespan.
If one amplified a year into ten years within a Time Dao Array, that meant consuming ten
