Still Too Weak

Lord Xuanyan did not answer immediately, instead pouring himself another cup of tea.

"We cannot force the Supreme-grade origin power required by the treatment plan, but that does not mean we are completely helpless."

This is what we must strive to obtain."

Lin Yi's focus sharpened. "A treasure to delay the deterioration?"

"Yes." Lord Xuanyan nodded. "There is a rare object called a Chronology Anchor Stone. It is produced deep within a cosmic wonder known as the Time Corridor."

"The Time Corridor?" Lin Yi noted the name.

"It is an extremely ancient and perilous place of spacetime turbulence, where the flow of time is chaotic and disordered," Lord Xuanyan explained. "Chronology Anchor Stones are strange crystals that naturally condense within the relatively stable nodes of time there. They contain a special time-sequencing effect that can slightly smooth out the turbulence, providing a certain degree of stability."

He looked at Lin Yi. "Regarding Dominator Hengshi's current condition, while the Chronology Anchor Stone cannot provide a cure, it can effectively slow the rate at which his timeline deteriorates. The more we use, the more the effects stack, buying us more time."

Only powerhouses who cultivate the Time Law can rely on their own insights to discern direction and resist the erosion of time turbulence. Furthermore, there is a threshold of strength: one must be at least a Higher Deity to be qualified to step foot inside."

He sighed softly, his expression filled with
