Everything unfolding before them was so incredible that after Crawlers finished speaking, the scene fell utterly silent.
The ordinary players who had been chattering earlier stared wide-eyed, unable to speak, as though someone had seized them by the throat.
Lin Yuan frowned slightly and said nothing.
But he recalled what the other party had said when he destroyed the ritual site earlier.
"It's no use. You're too late."
So that was what those words had meant.
As long as a ritual had once been established, it was equivalent to placing a marker on the timeline.
Afterward, whenever Crawlers wished, he could use that marker to restore himself to his state at the time it was placed.
Just like a save point.
Of course, Lin Yuan also noticed that one image had vanished completely after being activated just now. It seemed these "save points" were single-use.
Each ritual site corresponded to one save point.
But those images had been densely packed. There had been far more than a few dozen ritual sites across the four Instances, hadn't there?
And earlier, it had taken Lin Yuan nearly an hour just to wear away Crawlers' imprint completely.
There were only a little over ten hours left before the Instance ended.
With dozens of save points, even without accounting for the toll of battle, there wasn't enough time!
No wonder Crawlers hadn't resisted at all.
The moment he successfully set up those rituals, he had already won!
At this thought, Lin Yuan couldn't help feeling that the system hadn't adjusted the flow of time enough when generating this Instance.
He had no idea whether that was due to restrictions in the rules or some other consideration.
"You can activate the power of time within the Time-Void Prism? That's impossible!"
