Princess Lily Arrives

Chapter 295 Behind the Illusion of Time

When Lily and the others thought that the time balance had been restored, Silver Wing's intuition reminded him that things were far from over. He frowned slightly and whispered, "There is some hidden power here that cannot be solved so easily."

"Have our efforts just now been in vain?" Lin Ye looked around with horror, but all he saw was the tranquil starry sky.

"Impossible." Ah Pang shook his head and waved his hand to signal everyone to calm down. "We have all seen that time has returned to normal. No force can threaten us anymore."

"Don't be too optimistic." Shadow said in a deep voice, "If Silver Wing can sense something unusual, then there must be a problem."

While everyone was discussing, the surrounding starry sky suddenly became distorted, and the stars began to spin rapidly, as if the entire space was being drawn into some kind of huge force. Lily reacted quickly and pulled Lin Ye and Yin Yi beside her: "Be careful, we may still be in the maze!"

As soon as the words fell, the starry sky in front of them shattered like glass, and everyone was instantly drawn into chaos. The misty fog enveloped the surroundings, and the vision became extremely blurred, while a strange light was faintly flickering on the ground.

"Where is this place?" Ah Pang held his head, obviously feeling a little dizzy.

"This is... a reflection of time." Shadow looked around with a serious expression, "We did not leave the maze, but were led into its core."

"What?!" Lin Ye's eyes widened in shock, "Haven't we solved all the problems?"

"No, this is just the beginning." Silver Wing's voice was low, "The reflection of time is a more terrifying existence than a maze. It can copy everything, including our memories and will. Anyone who gets lost here will be trapped in false time forever."

"In other words, what we are facing now is probably an illusion?" Lily frowned. "This is even more difficult than the previous maze."

"That's right." Shadow nodded, "And we must find the real exit as soon as possible, otherwise this false time will devour our consciousness."

"Then what should we do?" Ah Pang was so anxious that he was spinning around in circles. "This is like an endless nightmare!"

Lily took a deep breath and analyzed calmly: "If this is a reflection of time, then we need to find its source. Only by finding the source can we break these illusions."

"But, there is such thick fog, where should we go?" Lin Ye looked at the fog around him and couldn't find the direction for a moment.

Yin Yi's eyes suddenly lit up. He pointed to a faint light in front of him and said, "There seems to be something flickering over there. Maybe that's the exit."

"Let's go and take a look." Lily decisively took the lead and moved towards the light.

As they approached, the light gradually became clearer, and it turned out to be a golden door. The surface of the door was engraved with ancient runes, similar to those seen in the maze before, but more complex.

"Is this the exit?" Lin Ye looked at the door in confusion, feeling something was wrong.

"Don't take it lightly." Shadow warned, "This door may be the key to real time, but it may also be a trap of illusion."

"How about... let's give it a try?" Ah Pang suggested cautiously.

Lily nodded: "This is the only way. It's better to give it a try than to exhaust all your energy here."

She walked forward and stretched out her hand to push open the door. Behind the door was indeed another space, but this space was different from the previous illusion. It was filled with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere, as if she had traveled through the end of time and space.

"This is..." After Yin Yi walked into the door, he suddenly stopped and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Lily asked, turning around.

"This is... the origin of time." Silver Wing's voice was filled with disbelief. "Legend has it that this is the intersection of all timelines."

"The place of origin?" Ah Pang looked confused.

"Yes." Shadow nodded. "Legend has it that time was born here, and all the past, present, and future began to split from here. This place contains the root power of time."

"Then haven't we found the right place?" Lin Ye said happily, "There must be a force here that can help us solve the problem completely!"

"That's right." Lily also showed a relieved smile, "It seems that we have finally reached the critical point."

However, just as they were about to explore further, a cold voice came from behind them: "Do you think you can win by finding this place?"

Everyone turned around suddenly, only to find a mysterious man shrouded in darkness standing not far away, emitting a powerful aura that made people shudder.

"Who are you?" Lily asked vigilantly, her hand quietly grasping the weapon.

"I am... the guardian of time." The mysterious man sneered, "You intruders have disrupted the balance of time without authorization, and now you must pay the price for it."

"Guardian?" Silver Wing asked in surprise, "Is the legend true? Does time have its own guardian?"

"That's right." The mysterious man stepped closer, his tone cold, "Do you think you can gain freedom by solving the time maze? Too naive! Your actions have disrupted the order of time. I must keep you here forever."

"Wait a minute, we don't mean any harm!" Lily said hastily, "We just want to restore the normal flow of time and avoid a greater disaster!"

"Recover? What a joke! You mortals don't understand the mystery of time at all." The mysterious man snorted coldly, "The power of time is not something you can control, and your existence will only bring more chaos."

"In this case, we have no choice but to fight." Silver Wing stood beside Lily, his eyes determined, "No matter what kind of guardian you are, we will not surrender."

"Then let me show you the true power of time!" The mysterious man waved his hand violently, and the space around him instantly twisted. Countless fragments of time spun rapidly, surrounding them.

"Everyone be careful!" Lily shouted, and quickly joined forces with Silver Wing to resist the attack of those time fragments.

The fragments of time were like invisible blades, cutting through the air with a chill that made people's hearts tremble. Lily and Yin Yi tried their best to resist, but a few fragments still cut through their bodies, bringing piercing pain.

"This guy is too strong, we can't confront him head-on!" Apang shouted in horror.

"We must find his weakness!" Shadow said in a deep voice, "Any power has its weaknesses. We can't give up!"

"Everyone, spread out and find his weakness!" Lily commanded while dodging the attacks.

Everyone quickly dispersed, looking for the mysterious man's flaws from different directions. Lin Ye keenly noticed that the mysterious man's gesture of controlling the time fragment seemed a little stiff, so he shouted: "His right hand! His right hand movement is unnatural!"

Lily immediately understood and focused all her strength to attack the mysterious man's right hand. As expected, the mysterious man's right hand trembled, and the attack of the time fragment weakened instantly.

"There's hope!" Ah Pang was overjoyed and took the opportunity to join the attack.

The mysterious man's face darkened, as if he had not expected these mortals to be able to find his weakness. He suddenly roared, and the wound on his right hand burst into a dazzling light, and the speed of the time fragments increased again.

"Oh no, he's fighting back desperately!" Shadow reminded hurriedly.

"We can't give him a chance!" Lily decisively injected all her strength into the weapon in her hand and launched a final attack on the mysterious man.

With a loud bang, the mysterious man's right hand was completely shattered, the time fragments also collapsed, and the surrounding space instantly returned to calm.

The mysterious man covered his broken right hand, knelt on the ground in pain, and glared at Lily and the others: "You...actually...!"

"You lose." Silver Wing said coldly, "Give up."

The mysterious man struggled to stand up, a hideous smile on his face: "Do you think this is the end? The power of time will never stop, it will continue to come back, and you... will always face endless reincarnation!"

After saying this, the mysterious man gradually dissipated and turned into a wisp of black smoke.

in the air.

Lily and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but their hearts were filled with doubts. Although they had defeated the mysterious man, his words made them feel vaguely uneasy.

"What does he mean?" Lin Ye asked with a frown.

"The reincarnation he mentioned..." Silver Wing pondered for a moment, his face solemn, "I'm afraid we haven't really solved the mystery of time yet."

"We must keep moving forward," Lily said firmly. "Whatever challenges lie ahead, we will meet them one by one."

Everyone nodded, cheered up, and moved forward towards the depths of the origin of time. Although the road ahead was unknown, they knew that only by moving forward could they find the real answer.
