Bai Ye slowly closed his eyes, and his heart gradually calmed.
He carefully sensed the passage of time, his consciousness sinking into the Mind Space.
At the center of the Mind Space, the Golden Dial and Golden Hourglass floated quietly. Golden light flowed around them, radiating an ancient and mysterious power of time.
