"This is impossible!"
Turmoil surged through the Divine Artisan's heart.
"Time ranks above all Top-level Authorities. Even their Authority Holders couldn't possibly move within it!"
"There must have been side effects from using this power. I'm being affected by hallucinations."
The Divine Artisan reassured himself.
Then he saw Lin Yuan let out a long breath and begin moving his hands and feet.

He was on an entirely different level from the Divine Artisan, who struggled to move within it.
