"If that's really the case … then the mastermind behind the scenes is very specific," said Xia Feng.
Bai Xiaowen nodded. When he used his heart to make judgments, Xia Feng's intuition was still very sharp.
"To be precise, they're targeting me." Bai Xiaowen smiled.
Bai Xiaowen had been guarding the Hub Square for so many days. The Hub Temple had not made a false door until today, when they were about to enter, and they deliberately made a false door …
The targeting was very obvious.
If Bai Xiaowen did not have the Eye of Evolution, if his Eye of Evolution had not been "unlocked" to the highest level and could see through fabrications, their group would certainly have been lured into a certain Spirit Realm.
"Will something happen to Senior Qiao?" asked Xia Feng.
Bai Xiaowen smiled. "It's only an Awakened Spirit Realm. Nothing will happen to Senior Qiao. There's nothing that can threaten him."
This was also the reason why Bai Xiaowen did not warn Qiao Liqun. If it was a highly dangerous Spirit Realm, he would still warn him, even though he felt that Qiao Liqun was a hindrance.
"That's good … Just tell me when we can enter." Xia Feng held the two spirit crystals and closed his eyes to meditate. He was also quite tired from rushing all the way here.
Just as Bai Xiaowen expected, the false door of the Hub Temple could not be maintained forever. In the end, it returned to its original appearance.
Bai Xiaowen woke Xia Feng up and entered the door together with the Demon Fire Crow, Roxier.
As for the other Chosen, they first had to remove the immortal formation that Bai Xiaowen had left behind before they could enter.
…
"This is the interior of the Hub Temple … I've never seen such a scene before," said Xia Feng in surprise.
What entered their eyes was a distorted void.
The dimensions of time and space became chaotic here. They became intersecting lines that formed a flat grid.
Unlike the tidiness of a normal grid, the space-time grid here was distorted and uneven. This also caused the space-time lines that formed the grid to change from straight lines to curved curves.
"This is an infinitely large labyrinth."
"A labyrinth? Infinitely large? "Mr. Xia Feng was a little confused.
Bai Xiaowen said slowly, "You didn't see the walls of the maze. This was because the walls weren't made of actual bricks and tiles, but distorted space-time threads that were constantly changing. When we're moving forward, if there's a deviation in our direction, we'll return to the space-time node we've explored before, forming an 'infinite loop'. "
"Sure enough, it works the same way as a regular maze." Mr. Xia Feng nodded.
"As for infinity, that's only relative to us. When we were in school, we learned a principle that a straight line can extend infinitely. Although the lines of space and time here are partially curved, they can still be seen as straight lines from another angle. They have the characteristic of extending infinitely. The space-time maze woven from this is naturally infinite. "
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "For mortals and ordinary gods, the spacetime line can extend infinitely, so there is no end to spacetime."
Mr. Xia Feng turned his head and kept looking at the slowly moving spacetime threads. He said in surprise, "How do you know so much? It's as if you've been here before."
Bai Xiaowen pressed his left eye and said softly, "Because … ancient memories have awakened in my eyes."
More importantly, the Eye of Evolution could play a greater role in this distorted spacetime.
The distorted spacetime in Bai Xiaowen's eyes was completely different from the distorted spacetime in Xia Feng's eyes.
Mr. Xia Feng could only see irregular curves that formed an uneven grid.
However, Bai Xiaowen could see the "parameters" of each curve, which was the curvature of the curve, the direction and speed of the twisting.
From this, Bai Xiaowen could calculate the coordinates of the space-time node formed by the intersection of the corresponding curves in the "temporal" and "spatial" sense.
Then, he could choose the "coordinates" to keep going deeper and deeper into the distorted void.
Between the grids of the spacetime threads, there would occasionally be a flash of light, like a door.
"What are those flashes of light?" Mr. Xia Feng asked.
"That's the spirit world portal, equivalent to a trap in a maze," Bai Xiaowen said. "If you accidentally step into it, you'll be forced to leave like Senior Qiao. The danger is not great because they are all spirit world portals at the level of the Awakened. However, 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 mastermind behind the scenes."
Mr. Xia Feng suddenly felt that the surrounding grid was full of danger. He might accidentally go the wrong way because the spirit world portal did not always flash. It only flashed occasionally, and the rest of the time, it was no different from a normal grid channel.
In the eyes of mortals, there was no difference.
However, in Bai Xiaowen's eyes, it was clear.
Mr. Xia Feng saw Bai Xiaowen leading him through the grid with ease and could not help but say, "Is this the last resort of the mastermind behind the scenes? I thought they would show up and fight us head-on. "
"They won't. Their combat power is actually almost zero. I even suspect that they don't have a physical body. "
Mr. Bai Xiaowen said.
The Magic Fire Crow Roscher on Mr. Xia Feng's shoulder cawed, "Isn't this space-time trap powerful enough? Other than Christos, no one else can safely reach the location of the main hub! They don't need to do anything because no one can find them! "
"Be quiet," Mr. Bai Xiaowen said.
The Magic Fire Crow Roscher shut his mouth, feeling wronged. "You weren't like this when you found me …"
The path Bai Xiaowen took was very strange. Sometimes he went parallel to the left, sometimes he went back in a straight line, and sometimes he simply drew a big circle on the spot.
However, every time he moved forward, he could step into a new "grid" and take a step deeper into the distorted void. There was never an "infinite loop," nor was there a situation where he mistakenly entered a spirit world portal.
There was no accurate passage of time in the exploration of the distorted void because the flow of time would accelerate or slow down according to the distortion of the "timeline."
Mr. Bai Xiaowen could only count his heartbeats silently. This was his way of measuring time in extreme environments. When he waited with Qiao Liqun in the Hub Square, he had specially measured it.
In a minute on Earth, his normal heartbeat was seven.
This did not refer to the situation where he deliberately exerted influence on his body, because at this time, Bai Xiaowen could already control the frequency of his heartbeat through his spiritual power. His heart beat once every few hours, and there was no problem with using his spiritual power to guide the blood flow to maintain his body's functions.
After 13,521 heartbeats.
At the end of the space-time grid in the distance, a blazing light suddenly appeared.
It was like a deep corridor that finally saw the light of the exit after a long journey.
The lines of time and space intersected at the spot where the light came from.
"We're finally here," Mr. Bai Xiaowen said with a sigh of relief.
"After passing through that light, will we reach the main hub?" Mr. Xia Feng was also excited. He had been thinking about the possibility of resurrecting Bai Xiaohua.
Bai Xiaowen nodded.
As they moved forward, a figure appeared in front of the light.
To be precise, it was an illusory figure formed by a cloud of fog, but it was wrapped in a hooded cloak.
Under the cloak, where the face should have been, only slowly rotating fog could be seen.
"Finally, the mastermind behind the scenes has appeared!" Mr. Xia Feng instinctively reached back and grabbed the hilt of the broken blade.
Bai Xiaowen was not nervous. He just looked at the fog person in front of him calmly.
"Hello …"
A thought wave came from the fog person's direction.
"Hello." Mr. Bai Xiaowen looked at the fog person. "You should know our identity and origin, so we don't need to introduce ourselves. How should I address you? "
The fog person: "You can call me Alpha. Of course, this is just an insignificant code name. "
