Scobio's Truth Eye saw through the true purpose of the time trial. "This isn't a test of our ability to manipulate time. It's a test of our understanding of the nature of existence."
As the four deepened their understanding of time, the chaotic Time Stream around them began to stabilize. Past, present, and future still existed simultaneously, but instead of overlapping chaotically, they coexisted in an orderly fashion.
"First trial passed," Gamma's voice rang out. "Lin Ye's mastery of time has reached the level of a novice Creator."
But they had no time to rest. The second trial began immediately.
"Second trial: spatial creation," announced Gamma, God of Space. "You will enter a spatial labyrinth of infinite dimensions, each with its own laws of physics."
The Trial Space shifted again, and the four found themselves in an ever-changing dimensional labyrinth.
There were three-dimensional spaces, four-dimensional spaces, and even spaces with eleven or twelve dimensions. Each dimension had completely different laws of physics. Gravity might pull upward, time might flow backward, and even existence itself might be redefined.
"This labyrinth has no fixed exit." Scobio analyzed its spatial structure with his Truth Eye. "It keeps restructuring itself in response to our actions."
"Then what do we need to do?" Leo asked.
Lin Ye sensed guidance from the Creation Arrow. "We aren't supposed to find an exit, but create one. This trial requires me to freely construct spatial structures that conform to my will."
He began experimenting with spatial creation. The Sagittarius Mark started to reveal an entirely new attribute-Dimension Traversal. This ability allowed him not only to move between different spaces, but, more importantly, to create new ones.
"Dimension Traversal isn't an ability to move. It's an ability to create." Lin Ye's understanding deepened. "Every traversal creates a new spatial passage."
