Chapter 1843 – Lin Qiye’s Sword Marks
At this point, Lin Qiye didn’t have the intention of hiding it anymore and directly laid his purpose out in the open.
He was guarding the entrance to the Time Maze, not to mention whether or not he could get out of here, and even if he could, he wouldn’t let anyone here go out ……
Now that the back road was broken, under the compulsion of Lin Qiye’s sword awnings, the crowd of [God’s Desire Paradise] had no second choice but to move forward deeper into the labyrinth.
No. 22 held the [King’s Sword] in his hand, his eyes glaring angrily at Lin Qiye as his chest rose and fell violently.
The sword at the very beginning had consumed most of his plundered divine power, and although the remaining divine power was less than half, it was still close to twice that of an ordinary Lord God, and with the [King’s Sword] in his hand, it wasn’t as if he didn’t have the power to fight Lin Qiye.
However, he hesitated for a moment before holding back.
Blazing Angel Lin Qiye’s battle power was definitely not something that an ordinary Lord God could match, 22 had lost his first-mover advantage now and didn’t have a sure-fire victory, if he forced a battle with Lin Qiye at this moment but didn’t win, then not only would they be completely reduced to Lin Qiye’s tools, they would also completely lose the power to resist.
With a deficit of divine power, it would definitely be a nine deaths to one for them to enter the time maze.
The 22nd took a deep breath and directly dispersed the plundered divine power from their bodies, and several torrents of divine power returned to all of them, and on average, each of them had consumed a large portion of their divine power, but there was still some left.
”Holy Lord, let’s ……” asked Gou Bi Luo in a small voice.
”Into the labyrinth!” No. 22 glanced at Lin Qiye in the sky and spoke through clenched teeth.
Seeing that No. 22 directly gave up resistance, Lin Qiye’s eyes flashed with a flash of surprise as the divine power around him converged and his figure slowly landed on the ground by the river, leaving only divine might scattered over the shoulders of everyone.
Although this place was within the Time Labyrinth and belonged to a separate time and space, the environment was very similar to the ice field outside, except for the bright moon in the sky, which gave people an unreal feeling.
On top of that, when one looked into the distance, the distant scene was always blurry, like there were countless concave mirrors overlapping together, and the farther one looked the more the light was inverted and disorganized, making one dizzy.
Under the dual compulsion of Lin Qiye’s gaze divine might, No. 22 turned back and spoke in a deep voice.
”Always be alert to your surroundings …… You two, take the lead first.”
The two Sub-Gods who were named by No. 22 had reluctance written all over their faces, they glanced at each other and still cautiously walked forward.
In front of the crowd was still the same empty plain, at least as far as the eye could see, no danger could be seen, but the moment they took a step, a bizarre image appeared.
Only a flash of their figures was seen, and they instantly disappeared in place.
The dark and empty ice plain fell into a dead silence, with only the pale moonlight, laying a layer of faint white frost on the smooth surface of the ground.
Seeing this scene, the crowd of [God’s Desire Paradise] froze in place at the same time, and even No. 22 frowned, his face unsightly.
”Where are they people?!” Shocked cries came out from the crowd.
No matter how much, the Sub-Gods were still gods, and just disappearing so silently in front of the crowd without even leaving a trace of breath, directly causing the crowd’s fear of this labyrinth to increase infinitely, and the ones with a poorer mindset were even directly shocked out of a cold sweat.
No. 22’s brows were furrowed as he gazed closely at the place where the two Subgods disappeared, not knowing what he was thinking.
Right at this moment, Lin Qiye’s voice came out from behind him:
”Remember where that Subdivinity on the left stood when he disappeared just now? One more person, take a step towards the place where he disappeared, remember, not even one step off.”
When they heard Lin Qiye’s voice, the crowd didn’t make a move, they turned their heads to look at No. 22, who contemplated for a moment, but still pointed at a subgod and said:
”You, take a step towards that.”
The face of the Sub-God whose name was pointed out went white.
”After you take that step, no matter what you see or hear, don’t move, just stand where you are.” Lin Qiye’s voice sounded again.
The Sub God nervously gulped and stiffly moved his feet, stepping on top of a piece of ice, his figure instantly disappearing.
The crowd was once again startled, not knowing what had happened.
”Next, same as him.” Lin Qiye wasn’t the least bit surprised by this and spoke calmly.
Under Lin Qiye’s command, more than ten people stepped onto that piece of ice one after another and all disappeared without a trace, ultimately leaving only No. 22 and Lin Qiye.
No. 22 glanced at Lin Qiye, and under the latter’s undeniable gaze, he still took a step and disappeared into thin air.
Only at this point did Lin Qiye follow suit.
A slight to extreme dizziness flashed through Lin Qiye’s mind as he took a step out, and in the next moment he arrived on top of that ice surface, a few blackened backs crowded around him, and as Lin Qiye stepped in, an alarming cry rang out from the edge and came to an abrupt end.
Lin Qiye looked up and saw that close to his chest was the back of No. 22, and there were four or five other figures standing on top of this piece of ice, all of them crowded on top of a small piece of ice.
”Where are the others?” Lin Qiye asked.
”All squeezed out.” No. 22 spoke in a deep voice, “The area of this piece of ice is too small, once a new person comes over, someone will be squeezed to take a step out to the outside, and then they disappear.”
Lin Qiye looked at the ice surface under his feet and pondered.
The current situation was roughly the same as Wang Mian’s description, spatial movement in the labyrinth could easily trigger time shifts, and by taking a step, they were not only crossing space, but time as well…….
From the results of the current “experiment”, the range of space that can carry the same time is very small, the diameter is only about the length of an adult’s step, such as the ice surface where they are now, once they go beyond the range of this ice surface, they will enter another time.
But this also proved that as long as one kept following the footsteps of the last person, it was actually possible to always cross the same time and avoid getting separated.
Lin Qiye pondered for a moment and used his Heavenly Cong Yun Sword to carve a “1” into the ice surface underneath everyone’s feet, then once again said to the people in front of him:
”Go on, take a step forward at random, then don’t move.”
With the experience of the last time, the crowd knew that actually disappearing did not necessarily mean death, and became a bit more bold, the foremost Sub-God took a step forward and disappeared without a trace once again.
The crowd repeated the same footprints, and before long, Lin Qiye was once again close to them.
He turned back to look behind him, the original “1” he left on the ice surface had disappeared without a trace …….
The distance between them was only one meter, so it was impossible to miss it. Moreover, the Tian Cong Yun Sword possessed the characteristic of being “incurable”, so no matter how long it took for the trace to be restored, which meant that the step they took forward was to the “past”.
According to what Wang Mian said, every step in the time labyrinth leads to an unknown time, it may be a week ago after taking a step, or it may be two or three days later ……
Now that the sword mark had disappeared, it meant that at this time where Lin Qiye was, he hadn’t carved the sword mark at that location, yet.
Compared to the previous step, the time that this step was at was much earlier.
