Princess Lily Arrives

Chapter 271 Confessions of a Time Prisoner

After Lily and the others completed the trial, the Wheel of Time and Space in the hands of the Guardian gradually emerged, spinning out a strange light. With a slight vibration, they found themselves in a completely unfamiliar place.

This place was full of futuristic feeling, with a faint metallic smell in the air. There were tall buildings all around, and aircrafts flying in the sky. Lily was surprised to find that everything in front of her seemed to come from the future world.

"Where are we?" Arthur asked confused.

"It seems we have been taken to another time and space." Leiter looked up at the aircraft, "We have never seen this technology before."

Nana looked around, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes: "Maybe we are in a parallel world in the future."

Lily was about to respond when she suddenly felt a strong dizziness, as if an invisible force was pulling her. She tried to keep her balance, but found that her body involuntarily fell forward, as if being attracted to some unknown direction.

"Lily!" Leiter reached out to support her, but found that he couldn't control his body. The four of them were dragged into an invisible passage by a powerful force, and the piercing sound of wind came to their ears, as if they had passed through the cracks of time.

When they regained their footing, they found themselves standing in front of a huge transparent cell. Inside the cell, a man in strange clothes was sleeping. He had a handsome face and deep sadness in his eyes.

"Who is this?" Nana came closer curiously.

Suddenly, the man's eyes snapped open, his gaze as sharp as an eagle. He glanced at them coldly and asked, "Who are you? Why did you break in here?"

Lily was about to explain, but the man suddenly sneered: "So you are a new trial participant. Do you want to know the truth?"

"The truth?" Lily frowned. "What truth?"

The man smiled slightly: "The truth about the Wheel of Time. The fate of this world has already been determined."

Lei Te curled his lips in disdain: "Don't keep me in suspense, just say what you want to say."

The man's eyes turned cold: "You know the power of the Wheel of Time, but you don't know its true function. It is not only a tool to control time, but also the key to sealing this space."

"Seal?" Arthur asked in confusion, "Seal what?"

The man took a deep breath and said with a complicated expression: "The world you see now is actually a sealed space created by the Wheel of Time. Countless souls forgotten by time are imprisoned here, and I am one of them."

Lily looked at him in shock: "Are you sealed here?"

The man nodded, "Yes, I am one of the prisoners of time. I once tried to control the power of the Wheel of Time, but I was trapped by it and forever trapped in this illusory world."

Nana shuddered: "So, how do we get out of here?"

The man gave a bitter smile: "Leave? Unless you can crack the true secret of the Wheel of Time and Space, you will be trapped here forever."

Lei Te said in disbelief: "We will definitely find a way out."

The man looked at him with a hint of admiration in his eyes. "Maybe. But you must be careful. The Wheel of Time is not only a symbol of power, but also a tool to test your heart. It will constantly stir up your desires. Only those who are truly free of distractions can control it."

Lily's heart moved, she looked at the man, suddenly a surge of sympathy and admiration surged in her heart. She knew that although this man was trapped here, he still maintained a clear mind and firm belief.

"We will find a way out," Lily said firmly, "We won't be trapped here."

The man smiled. "I hope so. I hope you succeed."

At this moment, a low bell sounded all around, as if it came from the depths of distant time. The man's figure gradually blurred, and his last voice echoed in the air: "Remember, the real power lies not in controlling time, but in controlling yourself."

The four of them felt dizzy again, and when they regained consciousness, they found themselves back in their original position. The Guardian stood before them, with a glimmer of admiration in his eyes.

"You have done well." The guardian said, "But this is just the beginning. The real test is yet to come."

Lily and the others looked at each other, knowing that this journey was far from over. They would continue to explore the secrets of the Wheel of Time and Space and find the real answer.
