"All contestants, welcome to the Temple of Frozen Dawn," a voice echoed through the rainforest that Lex seemed to find himself in. "You are in a segment of the Origin realm that has been cut off from the rest of it for billions of years. How or why it was cut off, nobody knows. All we can tell is that something very significant happened here long ago.
"The temple has opened up naturally and on its own, and based on our calculations, in exactly 721 hours, whatever event happened billions of years ago will happen once more. When that happens, time in this small piece of space will freeze for another few billion years. Just to be clear, without a clear, consistent flow of time, your soul will not survive. So in a few billion years, when time resumes in this place, your body will be perfectly intact but your soul will be gone.
