A week wasn't much time.
For ordinary people, seven days might feel like enough to rest, think, prepare, and slowly settle into a new environment.
But for someone like Max, who'd just stepped into the heart of the Evercrest Clan, learned the deeper secret behind the Four Sacred Clans, sensed a mysterious reaction from the statue of the First Progenitor, and was about to represent Rose in the Bloodline Legacy Battle, one week went by almost too fast.
Inside the Dimension of Time, though, that week stretched out much longer.
Max spent most of it cultivating, stabilizing, and training.
The Tier 4 Primordial Bloodline had fully settled into his body during this stretch.
At first, its presence had felt like a sleeping ancient ocean inside his blood, calm on the surface but unbelievably heavy underneath. Whenever he circulated his power, the bloodline responded with quiet authority, shaping his body, soul, laws, and even his Pseudo Cosmic Paths.
