Lin Qiye withdrew his gaze and carved a "0" under his feet with the sword Ama Murasakibara.

As everyone was preparing to move forward, Lin Qiye's order changed this time:

"How many people are there now?"

No. 22 glanced around and said, "Including you, there are five in total."

Although No. 22 didn't know what Lin Qiye was doing, he obviously knew more about this time maze than they did. At this time, he naturally would not go against Lin Qiye.

Lin Qiye nodded, "One person takes a step forward, one person takes a step to the left, and one person takes a step to the right. After they walk, stay where you are and don't move."

Although everyone was puzzled, they still did as they were told, and the three figures disappeared out of thin air.

Lin Qiye spoke to the remaining No. 22:

"You, follow the footsteps of the person in front of you, and then step back. Don't make any mistakes."

No. 22 frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then took a step forward and disappeared from Lin Qiye's sight.

One second, two seconds...

Lin Qiye looked at the direction where No. 22 disappeared and silently counted the time. At this moment, a hand patted his shoulder from behind.

Lin Qiye's pupils suddenly contracted, and the sword of Ama-no-Kusan slashed fiercely behind him!

clang--!!

A long sword blocked Lin Qiye's sword, and No. 22 cursed:

"What? It's me!"

Seeing No. 22's face, Lin Qiye's eyes fixed, "When did you come back?"

"Just now!" No. 22 said as a matter of course.

Lin Qiye did this experiment just to explore whether people can return to the previous place after taking a step to another time and space. Judging from the situation on No. 22, the answer is yes.

He first took a step forward and came to another time, then took a step back and returned to the time where Lin Qiye was. This shows that in this maze, time is bound to space.

Lin Qiye took a step forward and saw the sub-god who disappeared first. He looked back.

On the ice not far away, a "0" was clearly visible, but there was no trace of the "1".

"Is the time corresponding to this piece of ice between 0 and 1..."

Lin Qiye muttered to himself.

He casually carved a "0.5" on the ice under his feet.

Standing on this piece of ice, he can see 0, which means that the time when 0 was carved was before "now", but he cannot see 1, which means that the time corresponding to ice surface No. 1 is later than the present time, and the event of him carving 1 has not yet happened.

These numbers represent the time sequence corresponding to each space. If time is mapped to a number axis, then the "0" that Lin Qiye carved at the beginning is the first mark point of this number axis. The further back the number is, the future it represents, and the further forward the number is, the past it represents.

Just by using this method, one can artificially mark the time sequence corresponding to each piece of ice surface in this maze, and find the rules of this maze in both the dimensions of time and space!

This is the simple method that Lin Qiye thought of to solve the time maze.

The only drawback is that all the timing devices such as clocks that Lin Qiye brought here have stopped working in the maze. Otherwise, he could even use these clocks to accurately calculate the time span between each piece of ice surface.

After Lin Qiye carved 0.5, he went to the ice where the other two sub-gods were and carved "2" and "-1" respectively.

Looking at the numbers that appeared and disappeared on the ground, No. 22 seemed to have realized something and thought in silence.

Everyone replicated this routine, moving slowly along the time maze. More and more numbers were marked on the ground, and the context of time was cleverly presented to everyone in this form.

After Lin Qiye carved the "-14" mark, he was about to move forward, but at this moment, something strange happened!

No. 22 gave a look to the other main gods and secondary gods, and with a flash of his body, he quickly flashed away from Lin Qiye and rushed to the left side where there was no mark!

His figure disappeared in an instant.

Almost at the same time, the other gods dodged to the left without hesitation and disappeared into time one after another.

In the time maze, as long as they move about one meter, they can instantly enter another time. This is undoubtedly an extremely simple way of escape for them. As long as they take a few meters in a very short time, they can easily get rid of Lin Qiye. Even he would not be able to know which time they have entered.

They were so fast that as soon as Lin Qiye raised his head, they had disappeared without a trace.

Lin Qiye looked at the direction they disappeared in, and had no intention of chasing them.

He shook his head and said calmly:

"A bunch of idiots..."

…

No. 22 and the other three walked in one direction, passing through several different times before stopping.

From a spatial perspective, they only moved a distance of 40 to 50 meters, but from a temporal perspective, no one knew how much time they had lost to Lin Qiye... a few days? A few months? Or a few years?

After the four confirmed that Lin Qiye did not catch up, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, they finally got rid of the terrifying Commander Lin, and the sword hanging over their heads disappeared completely.

"Holy Lord, I seem to have figured out the rules of this place!" Ju Biro said excitedly.

No. 22 glanced at him and said, "Do I need to tell you? After so long, even a fool can see it!"

"After watching him operate it a few times, I found that this maze is not that difficult." Another main god nodded and said, "After understanding the nature of the maze, as long as you keep marking the path and determine the time and direction, you will not get lost.

Even without him, we can still move forward, and with our numbers and speed, we should be able to solve this maze earlier than him!"

What the Lord God said was exactly what No. 22 was thinking. Since they had already learned how to pass through the maze, there was naturally no need for them to be free laborers for Lin Qiye. You know, there were four of them, and their speed in cracking the maze would be four times that of Lin Qiye!

This means that they can even crack the road ahead in advance, and then hide at a certain time to ambush Lin Qiye!

"To be on the safe side, let's move away from the direction that guy is heading. There are only four of us now, and even if we add up, we may not be his match." No. 22 said, looking at the digital markers that were so close.

Everyone nodded and followed No. 22, moving away from Lin Qiye little by little...

After a long time, when they could hardly see the marks left by Lin Qiye, they began to carve on the ice, imitating Lin Qiye.
