Princess Lily Arrives

Chapter 301: The Night of Terror in the Time Maze

Lily and Long Yuchen walked on the road of the time trial, and the surrounding scene gradually became blurred, as if they were walking into an endless maze. The air around them became thinner and thinner, as if even time itself had lost its sense of direction here.

"We seem to be going in circles." Lily frowned and tried to picture the path they had taken in her mind, but every clue seemed to be playing hide-and-seek with them.

Long Yuchen also noticed this: "The time and space here are distorted. We must find a breakthrough, otherwise we will be trapped here."

Suddenly, the scene in front of them twisted violently, and the ground began to collapse, forming a huge vortex. Lily and Long Yuchen were sucked into it, holding each other's hands tightly, trying to keep their balance. The vortex became faster and faster, and their bodies were thrown in all directions, and their consciousness gradually blurred.

When they woke up again, they found themselves in a strange maze. The walls of the maze were covered with various ancient runes, emitting a faint fluorescence, and the air was filled with an ominous atmosphere.

"This place feels a bit like something from a horror movie," Lily complained, and she couldn't help but shudder in her heart.

Long Yuchen carefully observed the runes on the wall, trying to find a way out: "These runes are like some kind of ancient spells, they may be the key to this maze."

"Then how do we crack it?" Lily asked curiously.

"Perhaps we need to decipher the meaning of these runes." Long Yuchen speculated. His fingers lightly touched the runes and felt a weak energy transmitted from the runes.

As they tried to decipher the runes, the walls of the maze suddenly began to move, and the entire space seemed to come alive, ready to swallow them up at any time.

"Run!" Long Yuchen shouted, and they started running quickly, trying to avoid the walls that kept changing their positions.

However, the maze seemed to have anticipated their actions, and every time they approached an exit, the walls would quickly move, trapping them in a new dead end.

"What the hell is this place!" Lily was a little exasperated, her patience gradually running out.

Long Yuchen also felt helpless: "This maze seems to be designed specifically to trap us. We must find the core flaw to escape."

Just when they were desperate, suddenly, a small figure jumped out from the shadow of the maze and ran towards them quickly. Lily was startled and subconsciously drew her weapon: "Be careful, something is coming!"

However, when the little figure rushed in front of them, they found that it was actually a strangely dressed elf, holding a glowing wand in his hand and with a sly smile on his face.

"Hey, you lost little kitties, I'm here to save you!" the elf said with a chuckle, his tone full of mischief.

Lily and Long Yuchen looked at each other, speechless.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Lily asked. Although she was a little distrustful of the elf who suddenly appeared, she also understood that they needed help.

"I'm the assistant of the Time Guardian, my name is Pica." The elf introduced himself, waving his wand proudly. "This maze is a test left by the Time Guardian. But, I sneaked out to play and happened to meet you."

"Then can you help us get out of this maze?" Long Yuchen asked tentatively.

"Of course you can, as long as you are willing to accept my little test." Pika blinked and smiled like a troublemaker.

"What test?" Lily asked cautiously.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a few small questions." Pica said with a smile, "If you can answer correctly, I will take you away. If you answer incorrectly, hey, you have to stay here and play with me."

Lily and Long Yuchen looked at each other. They had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, then ask," Lily said, getting ready.

Pica shook his wand, and the walls of the maze suddenly became transparent, and many flashing symbols appeared around. Pica waved his hand, and the symbols began to rotate rapidly, forming a strange pattern.

"Excuse me, what is the essence of time?" Pica's voice became serious, as if this question was a matter of life and death.

Lily was stunned. This was a philosophical question, not simple common sense.

Long Yuchen thought for a moment and replied: "The essence of time is flow and change."

Pica nodded and showed a satisfied smile: "Correct, it seems that you are not ordinary people."

Then, the symbols rotate again, forming a new pattern.

"The second question is, what force drives the passage of time?" Pika continued to ask, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

This time, Lily and Long Yuchen were both silent. This question was even more difficult to answer.

"Maybe it's the energy of life." Lily guessed boldly.

After hearing this, Pica nodded slightly: "Although it's not completely correct, it's close."

For the last question, the symbols changed again, forming a complex pattern.

"The last question is, how do we break the time cycle?" Pica's voice lowered, as if this question concerned some important secret.

Lily and Long Yuchen fell into deep thought. This question seemed to be beyond their understanding.

"Perhaps, the answer is in front of us." Long Yuchen suddenly said, his eyes locked on the rotating symbols, "The cycle of time is essentially a closed state. If we want to break it, we may need to redefine the concept of time."

After hearing this, Pica's smile gradually disappeared, replaced by a complicated expression: "It seems that you really understand the mystery of time."

As Pica finished his words, the rotating symbols gradually dissipated, the walls of the maze began to melt, and they returned to the altar again.

"You have passed the trial, but the road ahead may be more difficult." Pica's voice gradually faded away, as if giving them a final warning.

Lily and Long Yuchen stood there, their hearts filled with confusion and uneasiness.

"Have we really solved the secret of time?" Lily asked softly, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes.

"Maybe, but I always feel that this is just the beginning." Long Yuchen said with a deep look in his eyes.

At this moment, the crystal on the altar emitted a strong light again, and a shadow emerged from it. It was a man wearing an ancient robe, his face was blurred, but his whole body exuded endless pressure.

"You have reached the final checkpoint." The man's voice was low and solemn.

"Who are you?" Lily couldn't help asking.

"I am the guardian of time and the creator of this trial." The man said, "You have come this far, are you ready to face the final challenge?"

"The final challenge?" Long Yuchen frowned.

"Yes, this will determine whether you can truly master the power of time, or be trapped in the cycle of time forever." The voice of the Guardian of Time carried an irresistible power.

"We are ready." Lily and Long Yuchen said in unison.

"Well, let's begin." The Guardian of Time waved his hand gently, and the altar began to vibrate violently. The surrounding space twisted again, and Lily and Long Yuchen were pulled into an unknown area.

When they regained their footing, they found themselves in a desolate world with a gloomy sky and silence all around.

"Where is this place?" Lily felt uneasy.

"This is the end of time and the intersection of all timelines." The voice of the guardian of time came from all directions, "You must find the core of this space to complete the final test."

"Let's go, we have no choice." Long Yuchen said, taking Lily forward step by step.

As they walked on this desolate land, the scenery around them seemed to be constantly changing. Every step they took seemed to be stepping into a different time and space.

Suddenly, a huge stone tablet appeared in front of them, with

It has complex runes, exuding a mysterious power.

"This may be the core." Long Yuchen said, slowly walking towards the stone tablet.

Lily followed behind him, carefully observing everything around her.

When they stood in front of the stone tablet, the runes on the stone tablet suddenly lit up, as if responding to their arrival.

"Are you ready?" The voice of the Guardian of Time sounded again, this time, with irresistible majesty.

Lily and Long Yuchen looked at each other and took a deep breath: "We are ready."

As their words fell, the stone tablet began to emit a dazzling light, and the strong light enveloped them, as if the whole world was collapsing under their feet.

This is their ultimate test and the decision of their destiny.
