Suren recorded everything he was preparing to do in his notebook.

He wasn't certain that even with his "walkthrough," other variables wouldn't occur.

After all, what if this wasn't the first time he had "died" in this space?

If there was a first time, there could be a second, a third... countless times.

The "self" who left the notes wasn't necessarily successful. He might have been the only one who allowed the current timeline's self to see them.

Recording in more detail might give another self in another timeline a chance at survival.

As soon as that thought arose, his mind went into infinite recursion.

"No wonder it's one of the highest laws of the 'Law of Time.' It really is the most incomprehensible..."

Suren reined in the increasingly complex thoughts in his head. He couldn't figure it out, so he stopped trying. He only sighed, thinking that the chaotic laws of this "Land of the Fallen Gods" were indeed beyond the understanding of mortals.

........

"According to the notes, I don't need to waste time going to most places in this maze..."

Suren had already memorized the route.

To get out, the first thing he had to do was find the black iron coffin in the Giant's Hall of Valor.

"The notes say that what's sealed in that coffin should be one of the energy sources supporting this cursed space. One of the goals of those people from the Lu Ying royal family might also be it..."

Suren walked carefully through the tunnel.

Another timeline's self had explored almost every corner of this underground palace very carefully, and also clearly recorded the dangers and mechanisms here.

Suren didn't have to use his face to probe the way now, saving a lot of effort.

Before acting, he was a little worried that the actual situation might be different from the notes, but as soon as he entered the maze, he immediately dispelled this concern.

Because it was a notebook left by "himself," Suren could immediately grasp the meaning of the words as soon as he saw them, and could also understand without error what he needed to do next.

Following the route map, he easily avoided the monsters in the underground maze. Before long, he once again arrived at the "Giant's Hall of Valor" he had visited before.

There were no tangled roots here yet.

However, there were many spatial rifts.

Moreover, there were countless wandering ghosts.

Those ghosts were no longer normal souls, but mutated ghost-type monsters that had been corrupted.

Black iron and silver-grade anomalies were everywhere, and there were even gold-grade ones.

"The notes say to wear the Mirror Organization cloak, open the black umbrella, activate the Death God phantom, and carefully avoid the spatial rift at ten o'clock, because monsters will appear there..."

Suren looked at the detailed instructions in the notes and didn't plan to make any mistakes.

One could imagine that the former "self" had probably spent a lot of time here, trying carefully many times, before figuring out the correct route to approach the coffin.

After observing the surrounding environment and confirming that it matched the description, he put on the cloak, opened the human skin umbrella, and the Death God phantom wielding a scythe appeared behind him. Then he walked out.

After completing these preparations, the wandering ghost species in the sky seemed not to notice that there was a living person here, and wandered on their own.

Suren also breathed a long sigh of relief.

Before long, he easily approached the coffin.

However, it was not easy to get close.

The black iron coffin wasn't locked with iron chains yet, but from dozens of meters away, Suren felt an immeasurable pressure.

Mysterious, evil, ancient, terrifying, indescribable...

Before, when he looked at it from a distance, it wasn't very clear, but now that he was closer, these inexplicable auras rushed towards him like a landslide.

It was as if an invisible force was repelling all foreign objects from approaching the coffin. Every step Suren took, he had to withstand tremendous pressure.

"This aura of death is really exaggerated... If I hadn't comprehended the Law of Death, I'm afraid it would be difficult to even get close to this coffin."

Suren took thirty-five steps and stopped at the location recorded in the notes.

He also clearly saw the gargoyle relief on the coffin. The carvings depicted a story of a hundred-armed giant fighting a group of demons.

In the end, the plane collapsed from the fighting. The hundred-armed giant died in battle, and his huge body was torn into countless pieces and scattered everywhere.

Suren looked at the content on the murals, his eyes sharpened, and he added a note to the notebook.

[Hundred Fiend Suppressing Demon Coffin]

Detailed Explanation: A coffin forged from Netherworld-produced Doom Black Iron, but it contains sealing restrictions that you cannot understand.

The notes didn't say that the coffin could be moved, so Suren didn't dare to act rashly and make unnecessary attempts.

Following the method in the notes, he took out a space scroll and released the Mechanical Alchemist.

Then, he controlled the mecha to start forcibly opening the coffin.

Well, being cautious enough, this was very much in his style.

This was the most dangerous place in the underground maze. The former "self" was worried about triggering some danger, so he put it at the end before venturing to explore. In the end, he wasted a lot of time here.

The Mechanical Alchemist walked over, and the aura of death rapidly corroded the runes and plating on the armor. The living corpse inside instantly turned into decay and dissipated into ashes.

Fortunately, the Witch's Hair could forcibly continue the connection. Suren intermittently controlled the mecha and finally allowed it to approach the coffin.

The steam boiler accumulated power. Before it completely crashed, it pushed open the heavy coffin lid.

The "crack" and "creak" of metal rubbing against metal sounded like the gnashing of teeth of a hellish demon, making one's hair stand on end.

As the coffin opened little by little, and a gap was revealed, Suren saw a coffin full of "black water."

Before, he was very curious about what was inside the coffin, but now he already knew from the notes that it was the arm of a hundred-armed giant king.

It was just that the grade... was outrageously high.

Just a corpse arm had such power, one could imagine how terrifying it was when it was alive.

Moreover, the coffin wasn't full of black water, but the aura of death was so dense that it had turned into liquid fog.

Originally, because he knew the steps to open the coffin, he could react quickly.

But Suren didn't do that to avoid any unexpected changes. He counted seven seconds in his mind before taking out a transparent bandage, which was the [Shroud of Oz the Ice Lich].

This thing was a genuine "sealed item." Usually, it was used for stealth, but it also had other uses.

But in reality, it was a powerful tool for binding corpses.

The water in the coffin was very black, but it was also very clear.

Suren also clearly saw a jet-black, crystal-clear, and gnarled arm in the water.

Just an arm was nearly three meters long.

The appraisal showed that, except for the name, it was just a row of question marks.

[Arm of Briareus, the Hundred-Armed Giant King]

Detailed Explanation: ???

The laws overflowing from this corpse arm were very terrifying. Even from this distance, Suren felt the terrifying dark energy formed by some special reaction caused by the corpse disintegration, like a black hole, with the ability to tear everything apart.

Suren's current elemental barrier wasn't qualified to get close to this thing.

If he really touched it with his bare hands, it would feel like picking up a red-hot iron blank with his bare hands, which was enough to make one's scalp tingle just thinking about it.

And the shroud was now playing its best role.

He raised his hand, and a transparent strip of cloth floated over, like a snake, and nimbly drilled into the coffin.

The special material of the shroud allowed it to be completely unaffected by the aura of death. It quickly wrapped the arm tightly, like a mummy.

In the instant that the energy was completely sealed, Suren immediately felt the pressure on his scalp ease, and the surrounding pressure instantly disappeared.

The feeling of walking on the edge of a knife before dissipated.

Suren walked over and took out the transparent object from the coffin.

He didn't know what the arm of this giant king would be used for in the future, but it had a great use now.

Only by obtaining this arm could he pick up a key prop in another part of the maze to break the maze.

Suren also used a container to collect the liquid from the aura of death gathered in the coffin.

Although he wasn't a necromancer, it was the best food for the Doom Bird.

He couldn't find such pure aura of death anywhere else.

........

After Suren collected the arm, he opened the black umbrella again.

He looked at the Eclipse totem on his chest. It was slightly pale and didn't look like it would last long.

As expected, after this, the totem would completely collapse.

Suren made a warlock's seal with both hands and lightly shouted, "Night Curtain Domain - Release!"

Although he didn't know if this action had any meaning for breaking the space, "self" had done this before, so he didn't hesitate.

The darkness spread out from under the human skin umbrella, and the runes on the umbrella surface lit up with golden light.

In an instant, as if attracted by some huge force, the wandering giant race ghosts all rushed towards the black umbrella like moths to a flame.

Then Suren watched as the ghosts seemed to merge into a pool of water, splashing a ripple and disappearing without a trace.

Before long, the huge space became empty.

The human skin black umbrella absorbed enough souls and became shiny black.

With several thousand more giant race evil spirits, the effectiveness of the human skin black umbrella probably increased by about 20%.

This was the power of a scalable cursed object.

Suren put away the black umbrella.

Seeing the empty Hall of Valor, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: "The last time I came, there were no ghost species in this Hall of Valor. Could it be because I absorbed all the wraiths here?"

At the same time, he also thought: "So, if I go out now, does the coffin that those people from the Lu Ying royal army opened have an arm inside, or not?"

As soon as this thought arose, a look of contemplation appeared on his face.

Like Schrödinger's arm, before opening it, no one knew whether there was an arm in the coffin.

Suren's thoughts on the "Law of Time" became more and more complex, as if it was also entangled with quantum mechanics.

.......

Suren didn't understand it, and he didn't think about it in detail.

He left the Hall of Valor, then followed the route on the notes, twisting and turning, and came to a huge stone door in the maze.

The former "self" had tried countless methods in front of this stone door, but couldn't open it.

Later, he learned that a specific law power was needed.

The giant race worshipped the Earth Mother. There was a special restriction on opening this stone door, requiring a specific earth bloodline to open it, which was: the giant race.

Now Suren was the only living person in the entire underground palace, so that corpse arm came in handy.

Touching it with the arm easily pushed open the stone door.

The space inside was unexpectedly huge.

It was like a treasury for the giant race.

But everything inside had been moved away, and the scattered weapons and shields had turned into decay.

In the most conspicuous place, there was still one thing, a golden crown nearly one meter in diameter.

[Giant Crown]

Detailed Explanation: A crown that only legendary giant kings were qualified to wear, containing inheritance information that only the giant race can comprehend.

Suren took the crown and left without stopping.

He bypassed the monster nest, walked up the "endless black stairs" again, and returned to the giant city's hall.

This was the last step to break this strange timeline.

........

The last thing written in the notes was: "I found that the hundred-armed giant king statue on this timeline doesn't have a crown. After putting it back in place, you can move the position of the giant guard sculptures. Then, I discovered that my reasoning was completely correct, and this is the key to breaking the 'Time Domain'! Unfortunately, I discovered it too late. I spent several days in the maze looking for it..."

Suren looked at the hundred-armed giant statue on the throne, his expression a little complicated.

After a moment, he murmured with incomparable emotion: "How much effort did the me in another timeline have to put in to figure out that putting the crown back was the method to break the space?"

Without the notes, he felt that he wouldn't be able to find the right method in ten days or half a month.

Without delay, Suren walked up and put the crown on the head of the stone statue. He respectfully bowed, "Sorry, Your Majesty Giant King, for disturbing you."

Saying that, he walked down and began to move the thirty-six guard statues.

Having reached this step, even without the notes, Suren knew what to do next.

When he entered before, he had carefully observed that the positions of the thirty-six guard statues in the other timeline were different from the current ones.

But they couldn't be moved.

The giant king statue had to be crowned.

It was as if only a king had the right to command them.

Suren moved ten of them, moving them to the positions of the timeline in his memory.

He guessed that there might be other ways to place these statues, corresponding to other timelines.

It was a bit like the hands of a clock, with specific positions indicating specific times.

If it was a puzzle game, Suren would be curious about the other solutions.

But now, he just wanted to return to the original timeline and let himself live out.

Before long, after a round of moving, Suren returned the statues to their positions.

Then, in this hall, a gilded hourglass more than half a meter high suddenly appeared. Inside the transparent glass material container were some light blue, crystal-clear sand.

[Sand of Time]

Detailed Explanation: A god-tier material containing the Law of Time, it is the core of this time domain restriction.

Suren looked at the hourglass and let out a long breath.

He had finally broken the special space of this chaotic timeline.

He put away the crown and the hourglass, and then walked out of the "Time Gate" that suddenly appeared.

The surrounding scenery changed, and Suren found himself in the previous tunnel.

........

"Huh... Yuta isn't here? Could it be that the timeline is still wrong?"

Suren didn't see his corpse, nor did he see Yuta, and he felt a little strange.

But after thinking about it, he thought of something: "I'm not dead now, which means that my corpse won't appear. My corpse didn't appear, so there won't be a follow-up plot of Yuta receiving the communication signal and coming to find me?"

Suren looked at it, the inscription on the wolf fang necklace was still there.

But the plot of talking to Yuta seemed to have never happened.

Did the chaotic timeline lead to the appearance of different parallel spaces?

Then, are there also "Surens" existing in other timelines?

For a time, many complex thoughts poured into Suren's mind.

Time and space were stirred together.

It made his head hurt for a while.

"No matter what, at least I survived."

Suren felt that his current advancement couldn't understand such profound things, and he didn't try to figure it out forcibly.

He put aside those complicated thoughts and thought of the present.

"In other words, Yuta is now in this space and not far from here?"

Suren frowned slightly.

This cursed space was full of dangers, and he was naturally worried about that druid lady.

He took out the communicator and wanted to try to contact her.

But at this time, he happened to touch the notebook in his bag.

He thought about it and decided to write down his experiences that he hadn't had time to record just now.

But when he opened it, he was stunned.

The previous notes recording the process of going out were all fine.

But in the end,

There were a few sentences that were Suren's own notes, but he had no memory of writing them at all.

"Opening the notebook, I realized that I seemed to have forgotten something very important. Even this thought only came to me after seeing the notes. I realized that there might be some existence beyond cognition..."

"Huh... Why would I write these sentences?"

"It seems that some mysterious force made me forget its existence. Even if I use a pen to remind myself to remember, this action will be forgotten."

"..."

Suren got goosebumps when he saw these sentences.

This wasn't the first time he had discovered that he had forgotten something.

And on the next page, there was a final, inexplicable sentence: "The strength of the Dalu tribe may not have been enough to stop that powerful deep-sea giant, and there was also a 'third party force' involved?"

Suren immediately realized that something he had forgotten had also happened in the "Time Domain" just now.

"Third party force? What did I see in the space before that made me come to this conclusion?"

Suren's expression became very strange.

Taking advantage of the fact that he hadn't been forgotten by that mysterious force, he quickly recorded his current thoughts in the notebook: "That mysterious power of forgetting doesn't seem to be a threat to me, but I can't resist it. It's as if 'it' doesn't want to be remembered, doesn't want people to realize it existed."

After thinking for a long time without figuring it out, Suren closed the notebook.

He planned to ask Mr. Mirror about it later.

........

But in the instant after closing the notebook, Suren's frowning eyebrows immediately relaxed, as if he had completely ignored the contents of the notebook.

He patted his head, as if he had lost his mind for a moment: "Huh... What was I going to do just now? Oh, right, contact Yuta..."

Thinking of this, he took out the communicator and asked, "Yuta, where are you?"
