Chapter 1145: Advantages and Weaknesses
"Eternal Time" was a high-quality sub-class stone. By the time it was unearthed, its temporal properties had already stabilized.
It was like the rules of time and space within any game Sub-district: extremely stable and difficult to disrupt. Even time-space items couldn't break that internal stability. In that sense, such stable spaces were compatible with any time-space item.
A sub-class stone like "Eternal Time" could be viewed as a tiny time-space structure. It could interact with the effects of other time-space items as an independent entity without being affected itself. This was much like how Xu Huo, after putting on "Three Seconds of Life," was similarly unaffected by Time Power.
Of course, a sub-class stone like this could also be used as material for an item. But since it could be used directly, crafting it into an item might not yield the same remarkable effect. So many Players simply used one as a Defense Artifact, to protect themselves from the effects of other Players' time items in special circumstances.
Speaking of time items, the first and only time Xu Huo had ever faced powerful Time Power head-on was during the attack he experienced the last time he left District 011. Back then, Players from District 011 had used Time Power to control the city. Some Players had been slaughtered while time was frozen, utterly unable to resist. Only because he had "Three Seconds of Life" had Xu Huo been able to hide in advance.
In fact, it was possible to avoid the effects of time-space forces to some extent without wearing such a high-level time-space item. There was no clear relationship between the level of protection and the item's function, but in general, the higher the item's level, the stronger the time-space forces it could
