Chapter 1852 – Light Cone

　　According to Lin Qiye’s initial conception, this labyrinth shouldn’t have a path to the “future”, everything is just time fragments spreading outward with the destruction of the Gate of Truth a hundred years ago as the origin……. That is to say, this labyrinth corresponds to the starting point of the “present”. “The present”.

　　But after listening to Lina’s description of this labyrinth, Lin Qiye was a bit hesitant again …… Since this is an inverted pyramid, its uppermost level should occupy the largest area, and Lin Qiye has always been pursuing the downward path, and his exploration of the uppermost level is very limited.

　　Who can guarantee that there is no path to the “future” on the top level of this upside down pyramid, in places that he has not explored?

　　Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment before picking up Lina and heading in the direction of the word “3” in his memory.

　　As he stepped onto a piece of ice, a “3” appeared under his feet, Lin Qiye looked back, here, he could see all the numbers he had carved with his own hands, because the time here was further back than all the past.

　　However, there were no other sword marks left around the word “3” because Lin Qiye turned back and explored in the direction of the “past” directly after arriving here.

　　Lin Qiye followed the original method and started exploring forward, left, and right in order, carving marks on the corresponding ice surface based on the number of sword marks he could see within his gaze.

　　”-1.25″, “2.5”, “4”, “2.75” ……

　　As the sword marks continued to spread around, Lin Qiye went further and further in the opposite direction of the “past”.

　　However, when looking at the entire ice field, there was less than half of the ice surface where the sword marks were engraved nowadays …… That is to say, in the vicinity of the labyrinth’s entrance, Lin Qiye still had a large amount of area that he hadn’t explored.

　　He circled around the river that entered the labyrinth and kept moving forward, but most of the numbers carved still started with “-“, and as time passed, without realizing it, the largest number he found had become “37”.

　　When Lin Qiye stepped onto the last piece of unmarked ice, he looked back and all the numbers were in his eyes.

　　He gently carved a number on the ice surface under his feet, “38.”

　　Here is Lin Qiye can find, the most distant “future”…… But when he did all this, there was not the slightest difference.

　　The cold wind whisked across the dead ice field, and above the densely packed numbers, Lin Qiye stood in place, motionless.

　　”Alas ……,” after an unknown amount of time, he let out a long sigh.

　　It seems that his idea was wrong …… there is nothing at the end of the “future”.

　　If you want to break this deadlock, perhaps you can only start from another angle.

　　Just as Lin Qiye was frowning and pondering, Lina’s eyelashes fluttered lightly, and after a moment, she slowly opened her eyes.

　　”You’re awake?” Lin Qiye’s voice rang out.

　　Lina held her forehead and sat up from the ice with difficulty, her face a bit pale.

　　”Where are we?”

　　”Near the entrance of the labyrinth, the time here is the most broken, even Vishnu can’t find us.”

　　”Oh ……”

　　”Are you okay?”

　　”It’s okay …… it’s just that my mental power is a bit overdrawn, I need to recover for a while.” Lina rubbed the corners of her eyes.

　　Seeing this, Lin Qiye asked suspiciously, “How did you manage to summon King Arthur?”

　　”He allowed me to summon him ah …… And this sword in the stone, which originally possesses a portion of time ability, can link him in the past with me, allowing me to mobilize a portion of his power, the only drawback is that my body won’t be able to support it.”

　　”No wonder ……,” Lin Qiye nodded.

　　Lina’s afterglow swept around and saw the sword marks all over the ground, a puzzled look surfaced in her eyes, “What are you doing?”

　　”Looking for the end of the ‘future’ ……”

　　Lin Qiye spoke his thoughts, and the latter pondered for a moment before shaking his head:

　　”Relying on this method alone won’t work …… Time fragments don’t just exist in a plane, they are three dimensional, for example, beyond the height of our heads of more than a few meters, it’s also another time, trying to use this kind of exhaustive method to find the ‘future ‘ end, it would take too much time and effort.”

　　Lin Qiye was stunned and looked up at the nothingness above his head with a slight frown, “I see …… If this is the case, this amount of work is indeed too much.”

　　But then, as if he remembered something, he looked at Lina, “Your Sword in the Stone, isn’t it able to sense the trend of the flow of time? Can you find the direction of the ‘future’?”

　　Lina thought for a moment, “I’ll try.”

　　Her slender fingers gripped the hilt of the Sword in the Stone, closed her eyes and sensed for a moment, and with some uncertainty, she reached out and pointed at the sky above Lin Qiye.

　　”It seems like …… it’s right above you, how high the distance is I’m not too sure.”

　　Directly above?

　　Lin Qiye raised his head to look at the sky, misplaced light and shadows similarly shrouded the sky above, making one dizzy just by looking at it.

　　”Go up and take a look.” The feathered wings behind Lin Qiye’s back opened up and with a forceful shock, his body immediately swept up, with Lina following close behind with her sword in the stone in her hand!

　　Five meters, ten meters, one hundred meters, two hundred meters ……

　　As his height continued to rise, Lin Qiye shuttled between countless time fragments since, slight dizziness flickered one after another, giving him the illusion that he couldn’t tell which way he was going, but he still forced himself to endure the discomfort as he straightened upward and leapt!

　　The moment he passed through a time fragment, a mysterious shimmering light flashed, and both figures disappeared without a trace at the same time!

　　Lin Qiye only felt a blur before his eyes, and the world around him transformed into black and white.

　　At this moment, even gravity disappeared without a trace, a sense of weightlessness lingered in his heart as he waved his feathered wings and looked back, only to see countless drifting time fragments flickering silently in this black and white world.

　　From afar, these time fragments converge together like a cone of light, the apex of the cone of light is a broken portal, countless time fragments are released from this portal, spreading outward, the further away from the portal, the more time is broken, the more dense it is.

　　If one were to look at it in an upside down direction, it would be no different from the upside down pyramid that Lina had described in her mouth.

　　”Is this the entirety of the time maze ……” Lin Qiye muttered as he looked at the cone of light in front of him.

　　Much like what he thought, the entire time labyrinth was born from the shattering of the Gate of Truth a hundred years ago, running through a hundred years of history, and they were just now traveling one after the other within this piece of time debris.

　　Lin Qiye waved his feathered wings and brought Lina from the edge of the cone of light, continuously approaching the Gate of Truth at the apex, and as long as they wanted to, they could even directly enter any piece of time fragment from here.

　　”What exactly is this place ……?” Lina stared at this scene in a daze, her eyes filled with incomprehension.
