At this point, Lin Qiye had no intention of concealing it anymore and directly stated his purpose.

He was guarding the entrance to the time maze. Regardless of whether or not anyone could get out, even if they could, he would not let anyone out...

Now that their retreat was blocked and under the pressure of Lin Qiye's sword, the people in [God's Desire Heaven] had no other choice but to move forward deeper into the maze.

No. 22 held the [Sword of the King] in his hand, staring angrily at Lin Qiye, his chest heaving violently.

The first sword consumed most of the divine power he plundered. Although the remaining divine power was less than half, it was close to twice that of an ordinary main god. In addition, with the [Sword of the King] in his hand, he was not without the ability to fight Lin Qiye.

But after hesitating for a moment, he held back.

The fighting power of Seraphim Lin Qiye is definitely not something that an ordinary main god can match. No. 22 has now lost the advantage of the first move and is not sure of winning. If he forces a battle with Lin Qiye at this moment and fails to win, then not only will they completely become Lin Qiye's tools, but they will also completely lose the ability to resist.

With their divine powers depleted, they entered the time maze, which was absolutely a life-and-death situation for them.

No. 22 took a deep breath and directly dispelled the divine power that was plundered from his body. Several torrents of divine power returned to everyone's bodies. On average, each person consumed most of the divine power, but there was still some left.

"Holy Lord, we..." Ju Biluo asked in a low voice.

"Enter the maze!" No. 22 looked at Lin Qiye in the sky and spoke through gritted teeth.

Seeing that No. 22 had directly given up resistance, a hint of surprise flashed in Lin Qiye's eyes. The divine power around him was restrained, and his figure slowly fell to the ground by the river, leaving only the divine power scattered on everyone's shoulders.

Although this is within the time maze and belongs to an independent space and time, the environment is very similar to the ice field outside, except for the bright moon in the sky, which gives people an unreal feeling.

In addition, when people look into the distance, the scene is always blurry, as if there are countless concave mirrors overlapping each other. The farther you look, the more distorted and chaotic the light becomes, making people dizzy.

Under the dual pressure of Lin Qiye's gaze and divine power, No. 22 turned around and spoke in a deep voice.

"Always be alert to your surroundings...you two, take the lead."

The two sub-gods named by No. 22 had reluctance written all over their faces. They looked at each other and walked forward cautiously.

There was still an empty plain in front of them. At least, there was no danger in sight. But the moment they took a step forward, a strange scene appeared.

Their figures flashed and disappeared in an instant.

The dark and empty ice field fell into deathly silence. Only the pale moonlight covered the smooth surface with a layer of light white frost.

Seeing this scene, everyone in [God's Desire Paradise] was stunned at the same time, even No. 22 frowned, with an extremely ugly expression.

"Where are they?!" exclamations came from the crowd.

After all, a sub-god is still a god. He disappeared silently in front of everyone without leaving even a trace of his breath. This directly increased everyone's fear of this maze infinitely. Those with a worse mentality were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweats.

No. 22 frowned, staring at the place where the two lesser gods disappeared, wondering what he was thinking.

At this moment, Lin Qiye's voice came from behind:

"Do you remember where the sub-god on the left was standing when he disappeared? Come on, take one step towards where he disappeared. Remember, not even one step can be missed."

After hearing Lin Qiye's voice, everyone did not move. They turned to look at No. 22, who pondered for a moment and pointed at a sub-god and said:

"You, take a step over there."

The sub-god whose name was called turned pale.

“After you take that step, no matter what you see or hear, don’t move, just stand where you are.” Lin Qiye’s voice sounded again.

The sub-god swallowed nervously, moved his feet stiffly, stepped on a piece of ice, and disappeared instantly.

Everyone was shocked again, not knowing what was happening.

"The next one will be the same as him." Lin Qiye was not at all surprised and spoke calmly.

Under Lin Qiye's command, more than ten people stepped onto the ice one after another and disappeared without a trace. In the end, only No. 22 and Lin Qiye were left.

No. 22 glanced at Lin Qiye, and under the latter's unquestionable gaze, he still took a step forward and disappeared on the spot.

At this time, Lin Qiye took the next step.

As he took a step forward, a slight feeling of dizziness flashed through Lin Qiye's mind. The next moment, he came to the ice surface. Several dark figures crowded around him. As Lin Qiye stepped forward, a scream sounded from the edge and then stopped abruptly.

Lin Qiye looked up and saw that what was pressed against his chest was the back of No. 22. There were four or five other figures standing on the ice, all crowded on a small piece of ice.

"Where are the others?" Lin Qiye asked.

"They were all squeezed out." No. 22 said in a deep voice, "The area of ​​this ice surface is too small. Once new people come, some will be squeezed out and take a step, and then they disappear."

Lin Qiye glanced at the ice beneath his feet, thoughtful.

The current situation is roughly the same as Wang Mian's description. Moving in space in the maze can easily cause time changes. When they take a step, they cross not only space, but also time...

Judging from the current "experimental" results, the spatial range that can carry the same time is very small, with a diameter of only about the length of an adult's step. For example, the ice surface where they are now, once they exceed the range of this ice surface, they will enter another time.

But this also proves that as long as you keep following the footsteps of the previous person, you can actually always cross the same time and avoid getting separated.

Lin Qiye thought for a moment, then carved a "1" on the ice beneath everyone's feet with the Ama-Kume sword, and then spoke to the person in front again:

"Go on, just take a random step forward, and then don't move."

With the experience from last time, everyone knew that disappearance did not necessarily mean death, and they became bolder. The sub-god in the front took a step forward and disappeared without a trace again.

Everyone repeated the same footprints, and soon, Lin Qiye was close to them again.

He turned around and looked behind him. The "1" he had left on the ice had disappeared without a trace...

The distance between them was only one meter, so it was impossible to miss it. Moreover, the sword of Ama Murasakibara had the characteristic of being "incurable", so the mark could not be restored no matter how much time had passed. This meant that the step forward they took was leading to the "past".

According to Wang Mian, every step in the time maze leads to an unknown time. After taking a step, it may be a week ago, or it may be two or three days later...

Now that the sword mark has disappeared, it means that at the time when Lin Qiye was there, he had not yet carved a sword mark at that location.

Compared with the previous step, this step is earlier.
