Chapter 821

"You make a good point." Xu Huo's gaze darkened. If the premise that different spaces had different flows of time was true, then the game world must contain more than one space with unusual movement, and the "time" in those spaces might not be the same. In other words, if there were spaces with "Curved Time" and special points where you could leap through space-time, the distances covered by jumps through different "times" would vary too.
