Then he continued along the third path and arrived at the cave before him.
The underground space occupied by this cave [maze] was enormous. At the end of every "choose one of three" junction, some routes were blocked off, but most continued deeper.
This meant the number of caves that might exist within this cave [maze] was 1 × 3 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 ×...

Yet this [maze] had not ended even now. It was still stretching onward, still expanding.
If they continued ahead and did not reach its end, the projected area of this [maze] would continue to expand geometrically.
"This is ridiculous!"

Once the impossible was ruled out, what remained was possible.
This cave [maze] had most likely suddenly "emerged" only after the [Resurrection of Gods].
Even the enormous rock wall at the cave entrance might have been part of the [maze].
It was like an underground kingdom in the desert with only its roof exposed, and the rock wall rising above the ground was that underground kingdom's "roof." If it had always existed here, then like the [Golden Kingdom], there should at least have been legends about it from long ago.
