When the familiar feeling first appeared, Lin Li thought that it was an illusion. After all, in this maze where space and time were completely blurred, it was hard not to have an illusion. However, when he stopped to think, the familiar feeling didn't disappear. Instead, it became clearer.
Could it be that the maze he was in now was really the one in his memory? However, that was simply impossible, and there was no explanation at all! Lin Li shook his head helplessly. No matter what, since he really couldn't think of a way to solve this maze, he had no choice but to verify his guess.
Lin Li raised the Helios' Scepter in his hand, and quickly chanted a spell in the High Elves Language. As the spell ended, the gem at the top of the Helios' Scepter emitted a gentle light that shrouded his body in the blink of an eye. It was not a defensive spell, but a Legendary-level spell, Time Acceleration.
As a Legendary-level spell, Time Acceleration was not very popular, because it could only be used on the caster, and time would flow faster in his body. For most people, this spell was simply a self-harming spell, because the consequence of accelerating the flow of time would be the acceleration of the loss of life.
However, in order to verify his guess, Lin Li had no choice but to use this self-harming spell. If he guessed correctly, he might be able to leave this place, and if he guessed incorrectly, he might be trapped here forever. That would be worse than death.
As the Time Acceleration shrouded his body, Lin Li discovered that the flow of time on his body did not accelerate, but instead slowed down. Although Lin Li was already mentally prepared, the result of the verification still gave him a great shock. Because through this special verification, it proved that this labyrinth was indeed the Endless Labyrinth in his memory.
Damn it, how is this possible? How could this maze appear here!? If it weren't for the verification just now, Lin Li wouldn't have dared to believe that the maze that had tormented him for seven days and seven nights was actually the Endless Maze that should not exist in this world.
In fact, Lin Li's impression of the Endless Maze was that it should only exist in his imagination. Lin Li was not spouting nonsense without any basis. No one would know the Endless Labyrinth better than him, because the concept of the Endless Labyrinth was originally his own idea.
Speaking of the Endless Maze, Lin Li had a conversation with a few friends who were passionate about maze exploration when he was in the Endless World back then. Not everyone who played games liked to kill monsters and level up. Some liked to make potions, some liked to forge equipment, and some even liked to appear in the depths of the mines and mine alone. Those friends who were passionate about maze exploration were also passionate about creating all kinds of torturous mazes in addition to exploring and solving the various mazes in the Endless World. What they believed in was to walk their own path and make others have no way.
At that time, Lin Li and his friends had a long discussion about how to create the most insidious and torturous maze. Lin Li proposed the basic concept of the Endless Labyrinth, while his friends put forward various ideas to continuously improve the Endless Labyrinth based on Lin Li's ideas.
Because it was just a discussion, everyone said what they thought, and they were completely free to do as they pleased. Under the permission of the Endless World's laws, the maze enthusiasts used all the methods they could imagine. Countless insidious traps, countless misdirections, space and time, the two major laws of the maze, were unscrupulously applied to the Endless Labyrinth, turning the Endless Labyrinth into a product of madness step by step.
Of course, the crazy product always remained in the imagination, because no one had the ability to create such a maze. Lin Li couldn't, the maze enthusiasts couldn't, and even the gods of the Endless World couldn't.
Due to the fact that there was no possibility of it being realized, the crazy idea of the Endless Maze was directly buried in the corner of Lin Li's memory. However, to Lin Li's surprise, the maze that only existed in his imagination back then actually appeared in Anril. The shock that it brought him was definitely no less than when he woke up in Anril's cabin.
The idea of the Endless Maze was only known to a very limited number of people. Even if they were all blabbermouths and spread the news to the world, it was not Anril. If it could only be explained as a coincidence, it would be too outrageous. Lin Li couldn't help but wonder why the Immortal King looked so similar to him.
However, it was not the time to think about those issues. After knowing that he was most likely in the Endless Maze, Lin Li stopped any exploration of the maze. His agitated emotions gradually subsided, and his frown gradually eased. Lin Li, who had a calm expression on his face again, sat down on the ground, and closed his eyes slightly to exclude everything around him from his thoughts.
He sat there for a day and a night, and his body remained motionless like a statue. Even his breathing was so slow that it was almost undetectable. When the sun rose again, Lin Li finally opened his eyes, and there was no longer any confusion or doubt in his eyes. There was only determination and understanding. After a day and night of thinking, Lin Li knew that he seemed to be not far from the truth.
The Endless Maze was indeed unsolvable, and as the main designer, Lin Li was well aware of that. However, Lin Li also knew that the so-called "unsolvable" was only for others. If the Endless Maze that he was in was really as he had imagined, there should still be a small loophole in the almost perfect maze.
Although it was called a loophole, it was not a flaw in the Endless Maze, but a backdoor that Lin Li had specially left for himself in the design. At the beginning of the design, Lin Li had wanted to use the Endless Maze on his private territory. Hence, he naturally had to leave a backdoor for himself. Now, there was a place for this backdoor to be used.
What did the Endless Maze have to do with what he had imagined, and why the Immortal King was so similar to him? It seemed that it was finally time to verify it. Lin Li stood up from the ground, and although he was staring at the path in front of him that was always the same, he took a step back without hesitation.
One step, two steps, three steps … In Lin Li's field of vision, the path that was once unchanging suddenly flashed by rapidly. It was as if he had moved back thousands of miles with every step he took. Everything in his field of vision became blurry as it flew by.
All of a sudden, everything around him stopped abruptly, and there were no longer any fleeting scenes. Everything froze again, and Lin Li clearly saw that he was at the gate of the Pantheon, with one foot already out of the door. When he looked inside, it was still the same scene of giants. Everything was extraordinarily huge, and even the oil lamps on the walls were like hills. Looking behind him, he saw a gray sky, a blood-red setting sun, and countless steps that extended into the distance, all the way into the barren desert.
Seeing all of this, Lin Li knew that he had made the right choice. However, in Lin Li's heart, the doubts that he had in the past became even stronger. Coincidence could no longer explain everything. Otherwise, why would the backdoor that he had specially left behind still exist in the Endless Maze of this otherworld?
Lin Li turned around, and stepped out of the gate of the Pantheon. At this moment, the surrounding scenery changed again. The boundless desert, the majestic Pantheon Temple, everything disappeared at this moment, leaving only a straight path that led straight into the sky and the clouds.
At the end of the straight path, there was a huge figure standing on the clouds. It was the incarnation of the Immortal King that Lin Li had seen before, the one who had sent him to this world. However, at this moment, the incarnation of the Immortal King looked at Lin Li, who was at the other end of the path below with a puzzling smile. Was it cordial, relieved, or a combination of all emotions? Lin Li couldn't figure it out.
Lin Li took a deep breath. No matter what doubts he had in his mind, he decided to wait until he left this place. There were some things that he couldn't avoid when it was time for him to know. Hence, there was no need to waste energy on endless guesses. At the thought of this, Lin Li strode forward, and walked towards the clouds along the path that appeared out of thin air.
Endless Maze? Those labyrinth enthusiasts would probably never know that the so-called unsolvable labyrinths were just deceiving themselves. Lin Li kept walking along the road, but when he recalled the scene of him discussing the concept of the Endless Maze with someone, he couldn't help but mutter in amusement.
Finally, he reached the end of the road, and Lin Li stepped onto the clouds. However, the huge figure that had once stood in the clouds had already disappeared, just like the path that had just led him up. Lin Li stood in the clouds and looked down at the world beneath his feet. The Titans and Wyrms were constantly fighting one battle after another, and each battle ended with both sides suffering heavy losses. However, no one was willing to stop. During the gap between the two races, countless powerful prehistoric magical beasts continued to wreak havoc in every corner of the continent.
A massive and fresh aura of life attracted Lin Li's attention, and the Tree of Eternity that had been sleeping for countless years began to grow new branches and buds. With the awakening of the Tree of Eternity, a new race was born in Anril. However, compared to the Titans and Wyrms, the race known as the High Elves was really weak and vulnerable.
