"Is this time?"
Zhao Nan looked at the wind in his Consciousness Sea, pleasantly surprised.
"No, this is only the concept of time!"
Zhao Nan quickly rejected his own guess.
There were no Laws of Time in the Coiling Dragon World. That was why neither the Overgods nor the Overgods could comprehend them.

It was a little convoluted, but that was what had happened.
Zhao Nan watched the gentle breeze, then sensed the concept of time in the outside world. He found that the two were different, with a ratio of roughly one to a hundred.
In other words, one day in his Consciousness Sea was a hundred days in the outside world.
