Chapter 304: The Trick of Time and Space
Chapter 304: The Trick of Time and Space
As soon as Guan Lili and Long Yuchen stepped into the glowing door, they were pulled into a new time and space by a strong suction force. The surrounding scene changed instantly, and they found themselves standing in a prosperous future city, with tall buildings, busy traffic, flashing neon lights, and streets full of pedestrians coming and going, but these people looked a little strange - their hair colors were different, some even showed blue and pink, and their clothes were also very avant-garde.
"What is this place? Have we traveled to the future?" Lily looked around and asked in surprise.
Long Yuchen frowned: "Something is wrong, the level of technology here seems to be too advanced, and... I always feel that there is a strange force controlling all this."
Just as they were trying to comprehend the situation, a young girl in strange clothes suddenly appeared in front of them. She had long blue hair, eyes that flashed like electric light, and a sly smile on her face.
"Welcome to the Time and Space City!" the girl said loudly, her voice full of excitement. "You must be new here, right? This is the intersection of time and space. Only the luckiest people can come here!"
Lily and Long Yuchen looked at each other and couldn't help but become alert.
"Time and space city? What exactly is this place?" Lily asked, trying to get more information from the girl.
The girl blinked and smiled, "This is where all the fragments of time and space converge. Here you can see everything from the past, present and future. But it's not so easy to leave here~"
"Then how can we leave here?" Long Yuchen asked immediately.
The girl smiled lightly, revealing an expression that said "you don't understand": "Leave? Of course you can, but you have to pass the test of the guardian of time and space first. You need to find three pieces of time and space fragments and merge them to open the passage to leave."
Lily nodded, as if she understood something: "Time and space fragments... where should we start looking?"
The girl stretched out her hand and pointed to the tall building in the distance: "The first fragment is hidden in the time and space treasure box on the top of that tower. Only those who find the treasure box can obtain the fragment."
"What are we waiting for? Let's go find it!" Lily said impatiently, her heart full of anticipation.
Long Yuchen calmed down. He carefully observed the girl's expression and felt that there was something else behind her words, so he asked, "Is there anyone else in this space-time city who is looking for fragments like us?"
The girl's smile faded a little and she shook her head, "Of course there are, but they have all failed. You better be careful, because the test of the Guardian of Time and Space is no joke."
Lily and Long Yuchen didn't ask any more questions and walked in the direction the girl pointed. People were hurrying on the streets of the Spacetime City, as if everyone had their own destination. They passed through tall buildings and finally came to a huge tower.
"This tower doesn't seem to be that simple." Lily looked up at the towering building, feeling a little nervous.
"Let's go in and take a look." Long Yuchen nodded and pushed open the heavy door.
The scene inside the tower surprised them. It turned out to be a huge maze, and the walls were covered with images from different time and space, some showing ancient wars, and some showing future technological inventions, which were dazzling.
"We need to find the Time and Space Treasure Box in this maze. It looks like it will take some effort." Lily sighed, but her eyes were full of fighting spirit.
The two began to shuttle through the maze, trying to find clues to the treasure box. However, every time they thought they were going in the right direction, the scene in front of them suddenly changed, and the maze seemed to be constantly changing, as if playing hide-and-seek with them.
"This maze is alive!" Long Yuchen was surprised to find that the walls seemed to have life and moved quietly as they walked.
"It seems we have to think of a way, otherwise we will never find the treasure box." Lily said, frowning.
At this moment, Lily suddenly had an idea: "Perhaps, we can use the power of time to solve this maze."
Long Yuchen's eyes lit up: "Not bad, we can try to create a time loop in the maze and see if we can find clues to crack it."
They decided to let Lily stand at an intersection in the maze, using the power of time to repeat this action continuously, while Long Yuchen used these clues to try to find the pattern of the maze. After several failures, they finally found the pattern of the maze.
"Found it!" Long Yuchen shouted excitedly, "As long as we follow this rule, we can reach the location of the treasure box."
The two followed the map and finally found an ancient wooden door deep in the maze. When they opened the door, they saw a treasure box shining with a faint light, quietly placed in the center of the room.
"This is the Time and Space Treasure Box." Lily said softly and walked forward cautiously.
However, when Lily's hand touched the treasure box, the whole room suddenly shook. The space-time images on the wall instantly became distorted, and a powerful force pushed them back.
"Oh no, there's a trap here!" Long Yuchen shouted, trying to steady himself.
But it was too late, the floor of the room suddenly opened up, and the two fell into a bottomless black hole.
They kept falling, seemingly without end, and finally, with a strong impact, they landed in a completely unfamiliar place.
This place is not like the previous time and space city, but a desolate ruin, the sky is gloomy, and there is deathly silence all around.
"Where the hell is this?" Lily stood up, dusted herself off, and was filled with confusion.
Long Yuchen looked around, a trace of uneasiness flashed in his eyes: "It seems that we have been teleported to another time and space, perhaps the other side of the time and space city."
At this moment, a deep voice came from all around: "Welcome to the end of time and space, you have reached the limit here."
Lily and Long Yuchen looked around in surprise, trying to find the source of the sound. Suddenly, a figure in a black robe slowly walked out of the shadows, with a mysterious mask on his face.
"Who are you?" Lily asked warily.
The black-robed man laughed softly and said, "I am the guardian of time and space, and I am also your final test. Only by passing my test can you truly leave here."
"Test? We have already found the first piece of space-time fragment, what other test do we need?" Long Yuchen asked puzzledly.
The man in black robes shook his head slightly. "You have only passed the first level. The next step is the real challenge. You need to find the core of time in this ruin and combine it with the fragments of time and space to open the passage to leave."
Lily and Long Yuchen looked at each other, feeling a little nervous. This guardian was obviously not simple, so they had to be more careful.
"The core of time...where should we find it?" Lily asked tentatively.
The man in black robe did not answer, but slowly raised his hand. A ray of light shot out from his hand, pointing to the depths of the ruins.
“Follow this light, it will lead you to the core of time. But remember, this road is full of dangers. If you are not careful, you will be trapped here and will never be able to leave.”
Lily and Long Yuchen embarked on a new journey without hesitation. The ruins were full of unknown dangers, and traps and enemies that might appear at any time kept them alert at all times.
They followed the light all the way, going deeper and deeper into the core of the ruins. On the way, they encountered many strange creatures, some of which even had powerful powers, but Lily and Long Yuchen joined forces and successfully overcame these obstacles.
Finally, they came to the deepest part of the ruins, where stood an ancient temple. The door of the temple was tightly closed, and there was a strong sense of oppression around it.
"The core of time is inside." Long Yuchen took a deep breath and prepared to face the final test.
Lily nodded, and together they pushed open the door of the temple. They were greeted by a dazzling light and a huge crystal that sparkled with mysterious light.
"This is the core of time." Lily stepped forward.
I felt a powerful force coming from the crystal.
They placed the first piece of time and space fragment on the crystal. In an instant, the entire temple began to vibrate and the crystal began to release an even brighter light.
"We did it!" Lily shouted excitedly, but before she could continue, the floor of the temple suddenly cracked and they were sucked into a time and space vortex again.
The light gradually dissipated, and Lily and Long Yuchen found themselves standing on a completely new land - an unknown time and space that they had never seen before.
"It seems we still have a long way to go." Lily said with a smile, full of fighting spirit.
"That's right, but we have come far enough." Long Yuchen held her hand tightly, welcoming the unknown journey ahead.
