Chapter 1824

“It’s very difficult.” Wang Mian paused for a moment, “Although it’s not completely uncontrollable, the difficulty is at least twenty times greater than in the outside world, and the range of influence is very small.
“Then what about the ‘door’ you just mentioned?
“After we accidentally entered that time labyrinth, we got separated the next moment… he took a step forward, I stood still, and then he simply disappeared from my sight.
Although he only took one step, in this time labyrinth, it triggered a change in time. He did indeed take a step forward, but this step sent him to that same position one week earlier.
At that time, we hadn’t figured out how the time labyrinth worked. When I saw him suddenly disappear, I immediately went to look for him, and then I was sent to another time…
Later, when I discovered the concept of the time labyrinth, I tried every possible way to find him in different time periods. When I finally found him, he was already lying unconscious on the ground, covered in blood.
In front of him, there was a huge door…
“What kind of door?
“The material looked like some kind of stone, gray on the surface, appearing very ancient… This door had many cracks, and there was even a notch in the upper right corner. But when I looked directly at it, I would feel my head swelling, as if it was about to split open.
Hearing this, Lin Qiye’s pupils suddenly contracted.
“The Door of Truth??
When Lin Qiye was fighting with An Qingyu, he had seen the phantom of the Door of Truth that he summoned, and its appearance matched Wang Mian’s description exactly.
If he remembered correctly, the mist that erased everything a hundred years ago was created by the [Key to the Door] at the cost of eternal slumber… and the location where the mist emerged was also in Antarctica.
So, the door that Wang Mian and his companion saw was very likely the physical form of the Door of Truth, or perhaps… its remains?
“That was the Door of Truth?” Wang Mian asked in confusion, “But didn’t you say that the [Key to the Door] is at the uppermost part of the river of time, watching over everything?
“The [Key to the Door] is the guardian of the Door of Truth, an existence similar to a spirit of an artifact. They are not the same thing… Moreover, the [Key to the Door] at the uppermost part of the river of time is only its past self.
It can see the entire river of time, but it’s difficult for it to reach across the river of time to intervene in the present, because in our time, it has actually fallen into slumber and has no usable physical form.
Wang Mian nodded slightly.
“After I found Lu Wuwei, seeing that he was almost gone, I consumed my own lifespan to forcibly manipulate time there. After many attempts, we barely managed to escape…
Hearing this, Lin Qiye understood what had happened, and then asked:
“Did you find any trace of Nyx?
“We didn’t find her, but…
Wang Mian reached into his pocket and took out an object, handing it to Lin Qiye.
“However, while walking through the labyrinth, I found this thing. I don’t know if it’s related to Nyx.
Lin Qiye looked down and saw what it was, his heart trembling slightly!
It was a fragment of a black gauze skirt.
In Lin Qiye’s vision, a thread of causality extended from the skirt fragment, connecting to Lin Qiye, indicating that its owner had a strong causal relationship with him.
This was definitely Nyx’s possession!
“So… her disappearance is indeed related to the time labyrinth and the Door of Truth,” Lin Qiye murmured.
Lin Qiye patted Wang Mian’s shoulder, “Thank you both for your hard work this time.
After exchanging a few more words with Wang Mian, Lin Qiye pushed open the door to visit Lu Wuwei. As Wang Mian had said, his body was not seriously injured, but he was still unconscious.
Lin Qiye stood by the hospital bed with his head lowered, deep in thought.
If the remains of the Door of Truth truly exist in the depths of Antarctica, it would undoubtedly be an opportunity for humanity… If they could find a way to deal with the [Key to the Door] at the top of the river of time, they could eliminate the threat of this Pillar God at its source.
But the current problem was how to handle that time labyrinth. And Lu Wuwei certainly wouldn’t have been seriously injured and collapsed in front of the door without reason. What exactly did he encounter near that door?
Lin Qiye thought for a long time but still had no clues. Fundamentally, they knew too little about the [Key to the Door].
However… there was actually one person who might know all the answers.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Qiye still sank his consciousness into the Gods’ Mental Hospital.
…
Shennongjia.
“So, the outside world isn’t much different from before we entered the cave heaven… The only strange thing is that the moon has disappeared,” Luan Lie pondered after hearing the three people’s report.
“It’s not necessarily that the moon has disappeared, right? What if it was just cloudy last night and we couldn’t see the moon?
Luan Lie raised his hand helplessly, “Look at Eleventh before you speak.
Everyone turned to look and saw a white-haired, red-eyed young girl curled up in a corner, staring tearfully at the sky, with tears streaming down her face.
“The Jade Rabbit is crying… It seems the moon really is in trouble.
The Third murmured.
As they were speaking, several deep purple figures flashed across the sky. They seemed to have discovered their location and quickly descended!
“Who’s there?” Everyone frowned, immediately becoming alert.
Luan Lie was the first to recognize the leader’s face. He was first puzzled, then his eyes immediately lit up!
“It’s Brother Fang Mo!!
Hearing these words, everyone immediately erupted in excitement. They jumped and waved at the sky, like a group of extremely excited children.
The [Demon] team members landed in the mountains. Su Zhe and the others looked at this group of “wild people” running over, their expressions somewhat strange.
“Are these the other eleven Golden Immortal proxies? Why do they all seem so… unhinged?
“Before they entered the cave heaven, they were all children under ten years old. After spending sixteen or seventeen years in the cave heaven without contact with the outside world, they naturally still maintain their childlike mentality.
Fang Mo explained while smiling and waving at them.
Everyone rushed forward fiercely, directly surrounding Fang Mo, sniffing the scent on his body, and speaking one after another:
“Big Brother Fang Mo!! Haven’t seen you in twelve years! Why are you still so small?
“Yeah, Big Brother Fang Mo, even Twelfth looks more mature than you.
“Hehe, Boss! Look at my beard now, isn’t it handsome?
“Boss… hungry~
“…
The corner of Fang Mo’s mouth twitched slightly. Among these people who were all around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, he looked as young as a fresh college graduate, but the mature aura he emitted was completely at odds with everyone else.
Fang Mo chatted with them for a long time, then waved his hand, “Let’s go, I’ll take you to eat first.
As Fang Mo led them away from the mountains, a gray-skinned old rat quietly emerged from underground.
In those gray eyes, the reflections of everyone’s departing figures were clearly visible.
