"If this is really the case...then the manipulator behind the scenes is very targeted," Xia Feng said.
Bai Xiaowen nodded. Even with careful judgment, Xia Feng's feeling was still very keen.
"To be precise, he is targeting me." Bai Xiaowen smiled.
Bai Xiaowen has been guarding the hub square for so many days, but the hub temple has never made a fake door. Until today when he was about to enter, he deliberately made a fake door...
The targeted meaning is indeed obvious.
If Bai Xiaowen didn't have the Eye of Evolution, if his Eye of Evolution hadn't been "unlocked" to the highest level and could see through illusions, their group would have been induced to enter a certain spiritual plane.
"Will something happen to Senior Qiao?" Xia Feng asked.
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said: "It's just the spiritual plane of the awakened level. Nothing can happen to Senior Qiao. There is no threat to his existence."
This is also the reason why Bai Xiaowen did not remind Qiao Liqun. If it was a highly dangerous spiritual plane, he would still remind him, although he felt that Qiao Liqun was an obstacle.
"That's good... Just tell me when you can enter." Xia Feng held two spiritual crystals, closed his eyes and fell into meditation. He was also quite tired from the long journey here.
As Bai Xiaowen expected, the fake door of the Hub Temple could not be maintained forever, and eventually returned to its original appearance.
Bai Xiaowen woke up Xia Feng and took Rochelle, the magic fire crow, into the door together.
As for the other voters, they must first dismantle the immortal formation left by Bai Xiaowen before they can follow in.
…
"This is the inside of the Hub Temple... I have never seen such a view." Xia Feng said in surprise.
What you see is a twisted void.
The dimensions of time and space become chaotic here, becoming lines that intersect vertically and horizontally, forming a tiled grid.
Different from the neatness of the normal grid, the space-time grid here is twisted and uneven. This also makes the space-time lines that make up the grid change from straight lines to winding curves.
"This is a labyrinth of infinite scale."
"Maze? Infinitely large?" Xia Feng was a little confused.
Bai Xiaowen said slowly, "You didn't see the walls of the maze. That's because the walls are not made of bricks and tiles, but the ever-changing twisted lines of time and space. When we move forward, if the direction deviates, we will go back.
Go to the previously explored space-time nodes and form an 'infinite loop'."
"Sure enough, it's the same as a conventional maze." Xia Feng nodded.
"As for infinity, it is actually relative to us. When we were in school, we learned a principle that straight lines can extend infinitely. Although the lines of space and time here are partially curved, from another angle,
It can still be seen as a straight line, with the characteristic of infinite extension, and the space-time maze weaved from it is naturally infinite."
Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "For mortals and ordinary gods, the lines of time and space can extend infinitely, so there is no end to time and space."
Xia Feng turned his head and kept looking at the slowly moving lines of time and space, and said in astonishment: "How do you know so much? It's as if you have been here before."
Bai Xiaowen pressed his left eye and said softly: "Because... the ancient memory has awakened in my eyes."
More importantly, the Eye of Evolution can play a greater role in this distorted time and space.
The distorted time and space in Bai Xiaowen's eyes is completely different from the distorted time and space in Xia Feng's eyes.
Xia Feng could only see irregular curves and an uneven grid composed of vertical and horizontal lines.
Bai Xiaowen can see the "parameters" of each curve, that is, the curvature of the curve, the tendency and speed of twisting.
From this, Bai Xiaowen was able to calculate the coordinates represented by the space-time node formed by the intersection of the corresponding curves in both the "time sense" and the "space sense".
Then, you can choose the "coordinates" that you want to go deeper into, and continue to go deeper into the depths of the twisted void.
Between the grids of the lines of time and space, occasionally a grid will shine with a bright light, like a portal.
"What are those fleeting lights?" Xia Feng asked.
"That is the portal to the spirit world, which is equivalent to a trap in the maze," Bai Xiaowen said. "If you accidentally step into it, you will passively leave like Senior Qiao. The danger is not great, because they are all awakened level spiritual worlds.
Portal, but leaving the place of origin means losing the qualification to find the main hub."
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen said: "This is also the last resort of the manipulator behind the scenes."
Xia Feng suddenly felt that the surrounding grid was full of dangers, and he might go wrong if he was not careful - because the spiritual world portal did not flash all the time, but only flickered occasionally, and the rest of the time it was no different from the normal grid channel.
There is no difference in mortal eyes.
But in Bai Xiaowen's eyes, it was clear to all.
Xia Feng saw Bai Xiaowen leading him through the grid with ease, and couldn't help but said: "Is this kind of trap the last resort of the manipulators behind the scenes? I thought they would show up and fight us head-on."
"No. Their physical bodies and combat effectiveness are actually approximately zero. I even doubt that they have any entity."
Bai Xiaowen said.
Rochelle, the magic fire crow on Xia Feng's shoulder, screamed: "Isn't this time and space trap powerful enough? Except for Christos, it is impossible for anyone else to reach the main hub safely! There is no need to take action, because
No one can find them!"
"Be quiet." Bai Xiaowen said.
Magic Fire Crow Rochelle closed her mouth in grievance: "You were not like this when you found me..."
Bai Xiaowen's path forward is very strange. Sometimes he goes parallel to the left, sometimes he retreats in a straight line, and sometimes he simply draws a big circle on the spot.
However, every time I travel, I can step into a new "grid" and take a step deeper into the twisted void. There has never been an "infinite loop", let alone entering the portal of the spirit world by mistake.
There is no accurate passage of time when exploring the twisted void, because the flow of time will accelerate or slow down as the "line of time" twists and changes.
Bai Xiaowen could only count his heartbeat silently. This was his way of measuring time in extreme environments. He specifically measured it while waiting with Qiao Liqun in the hub square.
In one earthly minute, his normal heartbeat is seven times.
This refers to the situation of not deliberately exerting influence on the body, because at this time, Bai Xiaowen can already control the heart beating frequency through spiritual power. The heart beats once every few hours, and it is no problem to use spiritual power to guide the blood flow to maintain body functions.
After thirteen thousand five hundred and twenty one heartbeats.
At the end of the distant space-time grid, a blazing light suddenly appeared.
It's like a deep tunnel, and after a long journey, you finally see the light at the exit.
The line of time and the line of space intersect at that light.
"We're finally here." Bai Xiaowen breathed a sigh of relief and said.
"Through that light, is it the main hub?" Xia Feng was equally excited. He had always been thinking about the possibility of resurrecting Bai Xiaohua.
Bai Xiaowen nodded.
As they walked forward, a figure appeared in front of the light.
To be precise, it was an illusory figure made of mist, but wrapped in a hooded cloak.
Under the cloak, where the human face should have been, only the slowly rotating mist could be seen.
"Finally, the manipulator behind the scenes has appeared!" Xia Feng instinctively reached back and grasped the handle of the half-cut blade.
Bai Xiaowen was not nervous, he just looked at the fog man in front of him calmly.
"Hello……"
A thought wave came from the direction of the mist man.
"Hello." Bai Xiaowen looked at the fog man, "You should know our identity, so we don't need to introduce ourselves. What is your name?"
Mist Man: "You can call me Alpha. Of course, this is just an insignificant code name."
