Atal who had been watching suddenly dropped this nugget of information, “The first tio” Time, Atal realized that the issue here was time Gu Jun took in a deep breath as he tried to suppress the rage within him… Mental corruption was her the corruption rate, thehis rationality Froerto help himself calm down The more chaotic the situation, the more he needed to keep a cool head
’30 years?’ He had no watch but the weather pattern differed based on the location in Drea the sky There was day and night The length of a day here was sier

‘Degradation of civilization?’ Gu Jun pondered ‘It is possible’
