Chapter 1844 – Time Axis

　　Lin Qiye retracted his gaze and carved a “0” underneath his feet with his Heavenly Plexus Cloud Sword.

　　The crowd was about to continue forward when Lin Qiye’s order this time changed:

　　”How many people are left now?”

　　No. 22 swept his gaze, “Counting you, there are five.”

　　Although No. 22 didn’t know what Lin Qiye was up to, he clearly knew more about this time labyrinth than they did, and at a time like this, he naturally wouldn’t go against Lin Qiye.

　　Lin Qiye nodded, “One person takes a step towards the front, one person goes to the left, one person goes to the right, and all stay in place and don’t move afterward.”

　　The crowd did as they were told even though they didn’t understand, and the three figures disappeared into thin air.

　　Lin Qiye spoke to the remaining 22:

　　”You, follow the footsteps of the one in front of you and then back up, not a single step wrong.”

　　No. 22 frowned and hesitated for a moment before taking a step forward, his figure disappearing from Lin Qiye’s field of vision.

　　One second, two seconds ……

　　Lin Qiye looked at the direction where No. 22 disappeared, silently reciting the time in place, and just then, a palm tapped his shoulder from behind.

　　Lin Qiye’s pupils suddenly contracted, and his Tian Cong Yun sword violently chopped behind him!

　　Clang-!

　　A longsword blocked Lin Qiye’s sword blade, and 22’s angry curses came out:

　　”What the hell? It’s me!”

　　Seeing No. 22’s face, Lin Qiye’s gaze froze, “When did you come back?”

　　”Just now!” No. 22 said rightfully.

　　Lin Qiye had only done this experiment to explore whether or not a person could return to the previous place after taking a step to another time and space, and judging from No. 22’s situation, the answer was yes.

　　He first took a step forward to another time, then took a step backward and returned to this time where Lin Qiye was. This showed that time existed in this labyrinth bound to space.

　　Lin Qiye took a step forward and saw the subgod that had initially disappeared, where he looked back and

　　He only saw a “0” clearly visible on the ice surface not far away, but the “1” was nowhere to be seen.

　　”The time corresponding to this ice surface, is it between 0 and 1? ……”

　　Lin Qiye muttered.

　　He smoothly carved a “0.5” on the ice surface under his feet.

　　Standing on this piece of ice, he could see 0, which meant that the time when 0 was carved was before “now”, but he couldn’t see 1, which meant that the time corresponding to ice 1 was later than now, and the event of him carving 1 hadn’t happened yet.

　　What these numbers represent is the chronological order of each space. If time corresponds to a numerical axis, the “0” that Lin Qiye carved at the very beginning is the very beginning of the numerical axis, the further back the number is, the more it represents the future, and the further forward the number is, the more it represents the past.

　　As long as this method was used, one could artificially mark the chronological order of each piece of ice in this labyrinth, and be able to find the laws of this labyrinth in both the dimensions of time and space at the same time!

　　This, was what Lin Qiye had thought of, an easy way to crack the time maze.

　　The only drawback was that the clocks and other timekeeping devices that Lin Qiye had brought here had all stopped spinning in the maze, otherwise he could even utilize these clocks to accurately calculate the time span between each piece of ice.

　　After Lin Qiye carved 0.5, he went to the ice surface where the other two sub-gods were and carved “2” and “-1” respectively.

　　Looking at the numbers that appeared and disappeared all over the place, No. 22 seemed to have sensed something and pondered without saying a word.

　　The crowd replicated this routine, slowly advancing along the time labyrinth, more and more numbers were marked on the ground, and the vein of time was skillfully presented in front of the crowd in this form.

　　After Lin Qiye carved the “-14” mark, he was about to continue traveling forward when a sudden change occurred!

　　No. 22 gave the rest of the major and minor gods a look, and with a shake of his body, he flashed out of Lin Qiye’s side and rushed out to the left side, where the mark hadn’t been engraved!

　　His figure instantly disappeared.

　　Almost at the same time, the remaining few gods did not hesitate to flash to the left side, stealthily disappearing into time one after another.

　　In the time labyrinth, one could instantly enter another time by moving a meter or so, this was undoubtedly an extremely simple escape for them, as long as they crossed a few meters in a very short period of time, they would be able to easily get rid of Lin Qiye, and it would be impossible for even him to know which time he had entered.

　　Their speed was so fast that Lin Qiye had only just raised his head when they had already disappeared without a trace.

　　Lin Qiye looked at the direction they disappeared in and had no intention of chasing after them.

　　He shook his head and spoke faintly:

　　”A bunch of idiots ……”

　　No. 22 and the trio headed in one direction, crossing several different times one after another before stopping.

　　From a spatial perspective, they had only moved a distance of forty to fifty meters, but from a temporal perspective, who knew how much time they had missed Lin Qiye …… by a few days? A few months? Or a few years?

　　The four of them simultaneously sighed in relief after confirming that Lin Qiye wasn’t catching up.

　　In any case, they had finally gotten rid of that terrifying Commander Lin, and the sharp sword hanging over their heads was considered to have completely disappeared.

　　”Sacred Lord, I seem to have figured out the laws of this place!” Gou Bi Luo spoke excitedly.

　　No. 22 glanced at him, “Still need you to say that? After such a long time, even a fool can tell!”

　　”After watching him operate a few times, he realized that this labyrinth isn’t actually that difficult.” Another Lord God nodded, “After figuring out the nature of the labyrinth, as long as we keep marking the path and determining the time orientation, we won’t get lost.

　　Even without him, we’ll be able to continue on, and with our large number and speed, we should be able to crack this labyrinth before him!”

　　What this Lord God said was exactly what was on 22’s mind, since they had already learned the way through the maze, there was naturally no need to be free labor for Lin Qiye, knowing that with four of them, they would be able to crack it four times as fast as Lin Qiye!

　　This meant that they could even crack the previous section ahead of time and then ambush Lin Qiye while hiding at a certain time!

　　”Just to be on the safe side, let’s move a little further away from that guy’s advance, right now there are only four of us, and together we might not be a match for him.” No. 22 glanced at the digital markers that were close at hand and spoke.

　　The crowd nodded their heads and followed behind No. 22, advancing a little bit in the direction away from Lin Qiye ……

　　After a long time, when they could barely see the marks left behind by Lin Qiye, they followed Lin Qiye’s example and started carving on the ice.
