Princess Lily Arrives

Chapter 299: A Strange Journey in the Time Maze

Lily ran on the grassland, the wind whistled in her ears, and the grass on the grassland swayed gently with the wind, as if guiding her direction. The light on the top of the mountain was still out of reach, but she knew that this was the path she had to take.

Just as she was about to cross the grassland, the ground beneath her feet suddenly began to shake, and the whole earth seemed to be trembling. Lily stopped and looked around, trying to figure out what was going on.

Suddenly, a huge crack appeared at the end of the grassland, and a strong attraction came out of the crack, as if it wanted to swallow her whole. Lily felt something was wrong and tried to retreat, but the attraction became stronger and stronger, and she couldn't resist it at all, and she was sucked into the crack.

She felt like she was falling, as if she had entered an endless abyss. Everything around her became blurry, as if time and space were distorted. Lily closed her eyes and let herself fall under the pull of this force. She knew that resistance was useless.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself standing in a completely unfamiliar place. The sky was gray, without a single ray of sunlight, and she was surrounded by towering stone walls covered with complex runes and strange patterns.

"What on earth is this place?" Lily muttered to herself, her heart full of doubts.

At this moment, a strange voice sounded in her ears: "Welcome to the time maze."

Lily turned around suddenly and saw a man in a strange robe standing in front of her. The man had a mask on his face, so his true face could not be seen.

"Who are you? Where is this place?" Lily asked warily.

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you have entered the time maze." The man's voice was low and mysterious. "This is the crack in time, where all timelines intersect. If you want to find the source of time, you must go through this maze."

"A maze?" Lily frowned. "Then how do I get out?"

The man smiled mysteriously: "There is no fixed exit in the time maze. You can only find the hidden path by solving the puzzles here."

"Puzzle?" Lily couldn't help but feel a headache. She was not good at solving puzzles. "Can you give me some clues?"

"Each puzzle is a fragment of a timeline, and you need to find the correct clues through these fragments." The man said, "But remember, time is unpredictable here. Any wrong choice will cause you to be lost in the vortex of time and you will never be able to escape."

Lily took a deep breath. She knew that the challenge ahead was much more difficult than she had imagined, but she had no reason to back down.

"Okay, I'm ready," Lily said firmly.

The man nodded, then turned and left, his figure quickly disappearing into the shadow of the maze.

Lily looked around and found that various symbols and words began to appear on the surrounding stone walls. These symbols looked like some kind of ancient text, which she did not fully understand, but she felt that there was some kind of power hidden in these symbols.

She approached the stone wall cautiously and reached out to touch the symbols. Suddenly, the symbols emitted a faint light, and a picture appeared before her eyes.

It was an ancient memory. In the memory, a man in armor stood in a ruin, holding a gleaming sword in his hand. The man's expression was full of anger and sadness, as if he was experiencing some great pain.

Lily felt a shock in her heart. This memory seemed to have some connection with her, but she couldn't be sure. Just as she was lost in thought, the symbols on the stone wall suddenly became blurred and the whole picture began to distort.

"Oh no!" Lily realized that the situation was not good, she immediately stepped back, but it was too late. The stone wall suddenly cracked and a powerful force sucked her in.

She felt her body being pulled, as if she was traveling through an endless time tunnel. The scene around her kept changing, and she seemed to be in countless different timelines, each of which was passing by her eyes at a rapid speed.

Finally, her body sank suddenly and fell heavily to the ground.

"Where is this?" Lily struggled to stand up and looked around. She found herself in a desolate desert. At the end of the desert was an ancient ruin with a tall tower in the center of the ruin.

"Looks like I should go over there and take a look." Lily said to herself and walked towards the tower.

The temperature in the desert was extremely high, the scorching sun was scorching the earth, and the air was filled with a burning breath. Lily felt dry mouth, but she knew she had to hold on.

Not long after she walked, she suddenly heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw a man in a ragged cloak walking towards her. The man's face was hidden by the cloak, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes.

"Who are you?" Lily asked warily.

The man did not answer, but slowly took off his cloak, revealing a familiar face.

"Yuchen!" Lily exclaimed in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Long Yuchen did not answer, but just looked at her silently, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.

"What's wrong with you?" Lily felt something was wrong. She tried to get closer to him, but Long Yuchen took a step back and the look in his eyes became more complicated.

"Lily, don't come near me." Long Yuchen whispered, with a hint of pain in his voice.

"Why?" Lily asked in confusion, "We are friends. I won't hurt you."

"But I will hurt you." Long Yuchen closed his eyes in pain, "I am no longer the same person I used to be."

"What is going on?" Lily was confused. She didn't know why Long Yuchen became like this.

"This is the curse of the time maze." Long Yuchen sighed, "I have been trapped here for too long and can no longer get rid of this power."

Lily felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She knew that Long Yuchen must have experienced a lot, but she didn't want to give up on him.

"Yuchen, I won't let you face this alone." Lily said firmly, "We will definitely find a way to leave here."

Long Yuchen smiled bitterly: "You are still so stubborn, Lily."

At this moment, a loud noise came from the direction of the tower, as if something was approaching. Lily and Long Yuchen turned their heads at the same time, and saw a strong light suddenly shot out from the top of the tower, the light rushed straight into the sky, as if to tear the entire sky apart.

"What is this?" Lily asked in surprise.

"That is the core of the time maze." Long Yuchen said in a deep voice, "We must find a way to destroy it quickly, otherwise we will never be able to escape from here."

"Let's go then," Lily said, preparing to head towards the tower.

"Wait," Long Yuchen suddenly stopped her, "This place is full of dangers, we must be careful."

Lily nodded and walked towards the tower with Long Yuchen.

They walked up to the tower and found that the door was closed, with complex runes and patterns engraved on it.

"It seems that we have to unlock the secret of these runes before we can get in." Long Yuchen said.

Lily walked forward and looked at the runes carefully. She found that the runes seemed to be some kind of ancient language, but she didn't fully understand it.

"Let me try," Lily said, reaching out to touch the runes.

The rune suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and the door began to open slowly.

"Let's go in." Lily said, and walked into the tower with Long Yuchen.

The interior of the tower was pitch black, with only the runes on the wall emitting a faint light. Lily and Long Yuchen moved forward cautiously, and suddenly, they heard a low roar coming from the front.

"There's something inside." Long Yuchen whispered, tightening the weapon in his hand.

"We have to be careful." Lily nodded and continued walking forward.

They walked into a huge hall, and saw a huge monster standing in the middle of the hall. The monster was covered with thick scales, and its eyes were like burning

There was a burning flame and a low roar came from his mouth.

"What is this?" Lily asked in surprise.

"This is the guardian of the time maze." Long Yuchen said in a deep voice, "We must defeat it before we can move on."

"It seems there is no other choice." Lily clenched the weapon in her hand and prepared to fight.

The monster seemed to sense their presence, turned around suddenly, let out a deafening roar, and pounced towards them.

Lily and Long Yuchen quickly dispersed, avoiding the monster's attacks, and then attacked it from different directions.

The battle was extremely fierce. The monster's power was beyond imagination. Each of its attacks carried a huge impact, as if it was going to destroy the entire tower.

Lily and Long Yuchen fought with all their might, but the monster's defense was so strong that their attacks could hardly cause any damage to it.

"This is not a solution." Long Yuchen said, panting.

"We have to find its weakness," Lily responded, her eyes wandering over the monster.

Suddenly, Lily noticed an obvious crack on the monster's chest, which seemed to be its weak point.

"Yuchen, attack its chest!" Lily shouted.

Long Yuchen nodded, and together with Lily, they focused their attack on the monster's chest.

The monster roared in pain and began to shake. Lily seized the opportunity and thrust her weapon into the monster's crack with all her strength.

The monster's body trembled violently, then fell down suddenly and turned into ashes.

"We succeeded." Lily breathed a sigh of relief and looked forward with Long Yuchen.

A ray of light appeared at the end of the tower, which was the road leading to the source of time.

"Let's go." Long Yuchen said, and walked towards the light with Lily.

They finally walked out of the maze and came to the source of time. The scene before them stunned them. It was an endless starry sky, and each star represented an intersection of a timeline.

"This is the source of time." Long Yuchen said, his eyes full of awe.

"We're finally here," Lily exclaimed, her heart filled with hope.

But they didn't know that the real challenge had just begun.
