Violent winds howled in his ears.

Ten minutes.

Twenty minutes.

Half an hour later.

Zhou Huai's expression darkened completely.

It was useless.

Even though Xiao Hei had increased its speed to the limit, the surrounding scenery remained completely unchanged.

The shape of every sand dune, the direction of every hot breeze, and even the angle at which the scorching sun hung overhead were exactly the same as they had been half an hour ago!

"Stop. Don't fly anymore," Zhou Huai immediately ordered.

Xiao Hei slammed on the brakes in mid-air, its massive Dragon wings kicking up a violent sandstorm, before it hovered steadily in the air.

"Did you discover the problem?" Chun turned around from the side, her arms crossed over her chest. There was no panic on her stunningly beautiful face, and her tone was flat, as if she were speaking of a trivial matter that had nothing to do with her.

"It seems we are trapped," she added.

Zhou Huai was just about to speak.

But he saw Chun produce an exquisite little wooden jar from somewhere.

With her slender fingers, she squeezed out a dollop of a milky-white, plant-scented paste from the jar, and began applying it to her fair arms and neck.

Zhou Huai stared blankly at her actions, his mind full of question marks.

"What are you applying?"

"Sunscreen," Chun replied matter-of-factly without raising her head, patting the paste evenly into her skin as she applied it.

"Sunscreen?!" Zhou Huai's voice involuntarily rose an octave. "At a time like this, you're in the mood to apply that stuff?"

"This is something I formulated and created myself using extracts from thousands of ancient plants," Chun looked up and blinked at him. "It has excellent sun protection and hydrating effects, specifically designed to cope with this kind of extreme scorching Law. Do you need some? For the sake of our alliance, I can share some with you."

Zhou Huai shook his head, amused, watching her leisurely demeanor, and couldn't help but remark, "Why do I feel like you're not here to help me deal with Mr. Duan and those monsters from the old era, but rather out on a vacation?"

"Tourism is also part of my plan," Chun looked at him with a half-smile, putting the wooden jar away. "I spent so many years in that pitch-black underground ruin; now that I've finally come out, of course I have to enjoy the sunlight of the present world. Even if this sunlight... is a fake."

She paused, setting aside her joking tone, and looked toward the endless sea of sand around them.

"The Space-type Law here has been completely distorted. This is not a naturally formed desert at all, but an extremely vast Space maze."

Chun pointed to the scorching sun overhead: "Didn't you just ask me why the sun felt wrong? Because that isn't the sun at all, but the core formation eye that maintains this maze."

"Since you saw it so long ago, why didn't you say so sooner?" Zhou Huai frowned.

"You are the protagonist of this game; I'm just an accessory ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) providing intelligence," Chun shrugged, looking completely justified. "If I have to solve every little problem you encounter, what will you use to contend with Mr. Duan?"

She walked over to Zhou Huai and patted his shoulder.

"So, you'd better think carefully about how to leave this godforsaken place."

"A Space maze?"

After hearing Chun's analysis, Zhou Huai not only didn't show any panic but instead smiled.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze sweeping over the unchanging golden sand dunes, his tone revealing a sense of ease and certainty: "It seems that this host hiding in the shadows is clearly an expert proficient in the Space-type."

"You're not worried?" Chun stopped applying sunscreen, a flash of surprise in her green eyes.

"The Space-type Law is one of the most troublesome Advanced Laws in the present world. Even if you have now undergone Fusion with the power of so many top experts, being in someone else's Space home field means that if you are completely banished or cut off, it's still a dangerous situation."

Chun's warning was not alarmist.

The eeriness of the Space Law lies in the fact that it is impossible to guard against. It doesn't compete with you in strength or health, but strikes you directly from the dimension level.

If it were before today, Zhou Huai might have found a Space maze of this level tricky.

After all, his previous power system, whether it was Xiang Yu's ultimate Physical Body, Yasuo's violent thunder, or Hou Yi's Star Vault Divine Arrow, was mostly destructive on a physical or conventional magical level.

Facing this endless labyrinth constructed entirely by the Space Law, even if he had the power to move mountains and fill seas, he would only be trapped here like a headless fly.

But now?

The situation was completely different.

Zhou Huai chuckled softly. He slowly raised his right hand, feeling the power of the Void Realm Arbiter belonging to Viktor that had just been fused into him.

It was a sense of absolute control that transcended all matter, capable of manipulating space nodes at will.

"If it were before, I might have felt it was tricky. But now..." Zhou Huai turned his head to look at the Nature Goddess beside him. "Now I have a top-tier Space-type Clone of my own, and it's the most unreasonable kind. This little Space trick isn't much of a problem anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, the world before Zhou Huai's eyes changed drastically under his Void Omniscience passive ability.

The originally flawless yellow sand and scorching sun transformed in his perception into a giant spider web woven from countless fragile Space threads.

And at the intersection of these threads, a highly concealed Space node emitting ancient fluctuations was hidden.

"Found you."

Zhou Huai whispered. He didn't directly use "Dimension Collapse" to force a destruction, but instead, he let the high-dimensional Space Law he had just acquired quietly infiltrate backward along that spider web.

Hum—!

As two completely different Space Laws collided in the dark, the seemingly eternal scorching sun and yellow sand around them suddenly rippled violently, like the surface of water struck by a pebble.

Immediately afterward, the entire world began to twist and fold in an extremely bizarre way.

The originally blinding, scorching day lost all its color and temperature in an instant.

The curtain of the sky was torn down, completely flipping this fake space.

The day suddenly turned into suffocating, pitch-black darkness.

There was no transition, no dusk, only extreme darkness.

"The weather has changed," Chun looked up slightly at the night sky, which was as thick as ink. Her tone remained flat. "It seems your counterattack has successfully forced the master of this space out."

Above this boundless black night sky, space underwent another violent distortion. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Points of dim light emerged in the darkness; at first, they looked like scattered fireflies, but soon, these lights rapidly converged and outlined something.

In just a few seconds, a huge and aged face appeared incredibly in the night sky!
