Chapter 296 The reversal of time and the intersection of mirror images
Lily and the others continued to explore the origin of time. The words of the mysterious man followed them like a shadow, lingering. Every step made them feel uneasy, as if time was examining them in some way, waiting for their next move.
As they walked, they suddenly found that the road in front of them split into two completely opposite directions. One was an unknown path shrouded in thick fog, and the other was a bright avenue filled with dazzling light.
"This feels a bit like a trap." Ah Pang narrowed his eyes, hesitant.
"That's right." Silver Wing said softly, "The path we choose may determine our fate. We must be careful."
"It seems safer to take the bright road?" Lin Ye suggested, but then denied it himself, "But it feels too obvious and a bit suspicious."
Lily frowned slightly and looked at the fog. An inexplicable intuition told her that the shining road might just be an appearance.
"Let's go into the fog," Lily said decisively.
"Are you sure?" Fatty hesitated.
"The bright road is too obvious, and it might be a trap." Lily firmly believed in her intuition, "We have to take a risk."
Everyone nodded in agreement and followed Lily into the fog. As they moved forward, the fog became thicker and their vision became more and more blurred.
At this moment, they suddenly felt the ground beneath their feet tremble slightly, and then, mirror images emerged from the mist. Those mirror images turned out to be their own reflections, and everyone saw their own image standing in front of them.
"Is this... our mirror image?" Lin Ye said in surprise.
"But these mirror images seem... not right." Shadow observed the "self" opposite him vigilantly.
Sure enough, the movements of those mirror images were completely different from theirs, and instead seemed to be provoking them. Every time they made a move, the mirror image on the other side would make the opposite move, as if to confront them.
"It seems we have to defeat our own mirror image." Silver Wing said calmly, "Otherwise we will not be able to get out of this fog."
"This is really troublesome." Fatty smiled bitterly, "I have never thought about fighting with myself."
The mirror images seemed unwilling to wait any longer and attacked everyone. Lily reacted quickly and started a fierce battle with her mirror image. But strangely, no matter how she attacked, the mirror image on the other side could always make a corresponding counterattack, as if it had predicted all her actions in advance.
"We can't go on like this!" Shadow observed the situation while fighting nearby. "Our power is too similar to that of the mirror image. We have to find a way to break this balance."
"Then how do I break it?" Lin Ye was embarrassed by his own mirror image, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"We need to achieve our goal by surprise." Silver Wing suddenly had an idea and shouted, "Try to use some methods they haven't seen before!"
Lily understood what he meant, and she suddenly gave up her attack. Instead, she turned around and performed a series of strange movements - first she imitated the call of a bird, then drew a circle with her feet, and finally made an exaggerated dancing posture.
This series of strange movements completely stunned her mirror image, which even froze for a short time. Seizing this opportunity, Lily immediately launched a fierce attack and completely defeated the mirror image.
"It works!" she shouted excitedly, "You guys try it too!"
Others followed suit and began to use various strange methods to confuse their own mirror images. Ah Pang simply rolled on the ground, Lin Ye walked upside down on his hands, and Yin Yi whistled at the mirror image, and the shadow suddenly stopped moving, confusing the mirror image.
With these unexpected actions, the mirror images gradually lost their rhythm and were defeated one by one. The fog also gradually dissipated with the disappearance of the mirror images, revealing a new road ahead.
"It was a close call!" Ah Pang patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately we were smart."
"This also shows that this maze is not unsolvable." Silver Wing nodded, "As long as we stay calm, we can always find a way out."
"But this is definitely not the last challenge." Lily said firmly, "We must keep moving forward and not take it lightly."
They continued along the newly emerged road, and the surrounding environment changed again. Strange buildings began to appear on both sides of the road, each of which seemed to show them a different fragment of history.
"There seem to be some images in these buildings." Lin Ye approached a building and found that it was actually the palace of an ancient emperor. The characters in the palace were lifelike, as if they were alive.
"This is a record of time." Yin Yi explained, "Every period of history has its mark, and these buildings are showing the major events that have happened in the past."
"Then what are we going to do? Travel through these historical fragments?" Ah Pang scratched his head.
“No, once you travel through time, it may affect the flow of time.” Shadow warned, “We are only here to find the core of time. Don’t be confused by these scenes from the past.”
Just as they were about to bypass these buildings, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and then a strange crack appeared in the air. A large amount of black fog poured out of the crack, and the black fog quickly spread and swallowed up all the buildings.
"Oh no, the time rift has appeared again!" Lily exclaimed.
"Hurry up! We can't get dragged in!" Yin Yi grabbed Lily and hurriedly led everyone to escape forward.
However, the black fog was moving very fast and surrounded them in an instant. Lily and the others fought hard, but there seemed to be some terrible power hidden in the black fog, which made it almost impossible for them to breathe.
"We are trapped!" Lin Ye looked at the black fog around him in horror, unable to get rid of it no matter what.
"Don't panic!" Silver Wing shouted loudly, "Concentrate your strength and break through it!"
At this moment, Lily suddenly felt a strong suction force behind her. She turned back suddenly and found that the crack was expanding at a very fast speed, as if it was going to suck all of them in.
"Silver Wing!" Lily shouted hurriedly, "We have to find a way to seal the crack!"
Silver Wing looked back, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "There is no other choice, prepare to launch the final attack!"
Everyone concentrated all their strength and launched a fierce attack on the crack. In an instant, countless rays of light rushed towards the crack, and actually stabilized it temporarily. However, the crack did not completely disappear. Instead, as they attacked, a ray of light seemed to appear at the other end of the crack.
"What is that?" Lin Ye was stunned.
"We are being led to another period of time." Silver Wing frowned, "This is the call from the time core. It seems we must cross this rift and enter an unknown time and space."
Lily took a deep breath and looked at the crack, knowing that this might be their last chance: "No matter what lies ahead, we can't retreat!"
"Yes, we have come this far." Ah Pang clenched his fists, "Even if it's a sea of fire and a mountain of swords, we have to get through it!"
“Let’s go.” Yin Yi waved his hand and took the lead to rush towards the crack. Lily and others followed closely behind and disappeared in the black fog.
When they passed through the crack, the scene suddenly changed, and they found themselves on a vast plain. At the end of the plain was a towering tower, with a dazzling light shining on the top, as if the center of time was in it.
"Where is this?" Lin Ye looked around in confusion.
"The final test place of time." Silver Wing took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with a complex light.
Lily stared at the tower, feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity in her heart: "Maybe this is the end of everything."
"Then let's go up and take a look." Shadow said calmly.
Everyone marched towards the tower with mixed emotions in their hearts. They knew that this road might be the only way to victory, but it might also lead to an unknown abyss.
