At the beginning and end of the spiral road, two huge portals stand quietly. They exist at the highest point and the deepest bottom of the space, as if guarding the mysterious entrance to the unknown world.
These portals are extraordinary in that they are not made of solid materials, but are composed entirely of pure light, shining with an otherworldly light.
These rays of light intertwined and entwined in the air. They seemed to have their own will and life, entangled and rotating with each other, eventually forming huge circular halos.
Each halo is like an independent universe, full of mystery and power. The halo rotated slowly in the air, emitting a dazzling light that illuminated every inch of the spiral road.
The roaring sound emitted by these haloes is not a vibration of sound, but an oscillation of light. They echo in the air, creating a solemn and sacred atmosphere.
The combination of sound and light gives people an indescribable sense of shock, as if they are witnessing some kind of cosmic-level miracle.
Standing in front of these two portals, whether it is the Sky Gate above or the Abyss Gate below, it gives people an unfathomable feeling.
"Twin Gates..."
A burning sensation came from the corner of his eyes, and bright red liquid flowed down from Xia Xiu's pure white eyes.
What’s behind the door?
He couldn't see clearly.
Today's promotion ceremony was full of bizarre and unclear situations.
Eden seemed to want to communicate openly and honestly with him, but seemed to be thinking about something, so he used the Riddler method to indirectly tell him some information that could be revealed at this stage.
“So, the path under my feet is related to my coming into this world.”
Xia Xiu stepped on the pure white sacred steps with his feet. He could be sure that his promotion The process is definitely different from other people's promotion processes.
What he is thinking about now is how to get out of here.
This road is obviously weird.
Xia Xiu has seen [Miracle], and he currently holds a quarter of the Miracle fragments of [Bull of Heaven] in his body.
But the road under your feet does not have any fluctuations about [miracle].
What he is thinking about now is whether he should take out the "Lever of Heaven" and try to fight head-on.
He sat down directly on the steps and began to think about countermeasures.
Just when the fourth sword holder of the Kingdom of Heaven stood on the spiral road, immersed in thoughts about leaving, a strange change suddenly occurred in the sky.
Crack——
A gap opened in the sky, as if the boundary between reality and surreality was torn open.
Through this gap, a white sun rises slowly, hanging high in the sky, exuding a soft and dazzling light.
However, if you look closely, you will find that this is not a real sun. It is actually a pure and flawless sea of glass, like the most perfect crystal, clear and transparent, shining with charming light.
This sea of glass appears in the sky, like a wonder hanging in the sky, which is amazing.
The sea of glass in the sky is mixed with fire, and the light has a hot and vivid flame color, which is both sacred and full of power.
This glass sea is calm, like a huge mirror, reflecting the light in the sky, and it seems to be a huge window to the universe.
Above this sea of glass, an old man in white robe is walking.
His right hand holds an exquisite cane, and each index finger of his hands wears a ring, each ring shining with mysterious luster.
The old man walked steadily and looked around. His eyes penetrated the sky and clouds, and finally landed on the fourth sword holder of the Kingdom of Heaven on the spiral road.
"I saw what seemed like a sea of glass mingled with fire, and he who conquered, who had overcome the beast, and his image and the number of his name, standing on a sea of glass——"
< br>At this moment, Xia Xiu finally understood how the third sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven got the title "Incandescent Sun".
His eyes fell on the "Sea of Glass" involuntarily.
That is [Miracle], its existence is equivalent to a small [Ether Ocean].
At this moment, Mu also discovered the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven. He looked at the blond young man standing on the stairs with complicated eyes, and walked slowly towards him.
When Mu stood in front of the blond young man, the other party shrugged and joked:
"Looking at your expression, the timing of my arrival here seems a bit wrong."
< br>"It's really not right, this process was a little unexpected..."
The old man with gray hair and boyish face took over the topic like a kind elder, but when faced with Xia Xiu's seemingly joking but actually probing question, he paused.
“Fifty years of backward investigation... turns out to be such a backward investigation method.”
“It seems that Eden’s approach has always surprised you. Does this count as him? A surprise for us sword holders."
Xia Xiu stood up slowly and stood beside Mu.
“Maybe, I’m older and can’t stand surprises.”
As Mu spoke, he turned his cane upside down and handed the end of the cane to Xia Xiu.
Xia Xiu naturally understood the old man's consciousness. He reached out and held the cane.
“So, you are my fellow countryman?”
“It’s really direct, I thought you would be careful to test.”
Mu looked at Xia Xiu and held his hand After picking up the cane, he began to walk forward.
He walked in front, and Xia Xiu followed behind.
"The answer to this question will disappoint you, but I hope you understand one thing. We are colleagues." Mu from the front replied slowly.
"Yes, we are colleagues, I never question this." Xia Xiu at the backend did not question this answer either.
“You don’t need to think too much, I am not your future, and you are not my past now.”
“Then what is my significance to the Kingdom of Heaven?” Xia Xiu then asked .
"You are very confident and rarely seem confused. Can I ask why?"
Mu in front smiled.
The young man behind him never seemed to question the meaning and pursuit of his existence.
His question is what the kingdom of heaven means to him, not what the meaning of himself is.
“When I was a child, I was like a caged bird, always living in fear. The adults I saw always cursed each other with the most vulgar genitals in a place where others could not see.
So far, I have not found any more vicious curse words than theirs. Their words are simply a breakdown of the language system. Thanks to them, the most vulgar language I have heard since I grew up is compared to theirs. It was as weak as a marshmallow, so that I rarely became overly aggressive with words later.
In the past, my "companions" followed their instructions and found their parents. I was the smartest and most fearless among them.
I never question this, in fact I am, so I am the rebel and they are the compliant.
But children will always be children, and adults will always be adults, and they will always impose fear, even stupidity.
In the beginning, you ran wantonly in the dark. With the sound of the piano, you ran faster and faster. The scenery around you began to grow slowly. You experienced the separation of life and death. At the last moment, you slowed down. Your footsteps stopped at the end of the darkness. You saw the beam of light, but you were pushed off the cliff again. The scenery began to slowly change back to what it was before...back to the place where you couldn't see your fingers, back to the darkness, you I can only curl up and slowly fall asleep.
So you understand that you have to hibernate first, you have to obey first, and listen to their stupid words that make people want to vomit.
They teach their children to disguise themselves, hide their desires and ambitions, and decorate themselves into a person who is generally recognized by social values, so it becomes the original sin to frankly reveal their inner desires and ambitions. , in them we see bravery and straightforwardness that we don’t have.
It is precisely because of them that my companions and those children look so ugly and hypocritical. Only I know how ugly the longing that has been suppressed is in my heart.
And other people will think that other people's purity is just a disguise because they are ugly. Therefore, I want to tear away their hypocrisy and prove that they are nothing more than that.
But they always hide in the dark, firmly believing in the laws of this society, scorning those who violate the laws, and labeling others as arrogant, indifferent, selfish and ruthless, as if they can logically stand on the moral ground. Going up to the commanding heights to judge others and watching others' outcomes with cold eyes, thinking that they represent justice, is actually a long-planned murder.
Their hollowness makes me feel sick, and I don’t want to be like them.
Every time I wake up suddenly at night, I return to reality.
I can always see those faces that are as if a shutter has been pressed suddenly, leaving only an expressionless, unpopular, indifferent and empty face.
So I want to fly out of the cage, I don’t want to be a caged bird.
Later, I found an opportunity and ran out.
When I woke up again, what appeared in front of me was infinite freedom. At that time, I understood that if there really was fate in the world, I would only laugh at the impermanence of fate.
But I swore at that time that I would never lie or deceive myself again, and I would live honestly.
I want to dance in the wind, dance at the place where the sun rises, dance at the place of sunset, face the wind, bathe in the light, and be a dreamy shadow on the top of the mountain.
I will not give up the world to those I despise. ”
Xia Xiu finished speaking with a smile, that smile was as cheerful as ever.
After Mu Momo listened, he asked: "What happened to those people in the end?"
"They will live in shackles for the rest of their lives - all those who can wear shackles , I will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life."
Mu didn't ask how those who couldn't be shackled were doing, since he already knew the answer.
"So, it's time for me to ask the question, right?" Xia Xiu asked.
"Ask, but I can't answer some questions directly." Mu nodded.
"What is that thing under my feet?" Xia Xiu asked bluntly.
"[Spiral Road]." Mu Ye replied concisely and concisely.
“What is it for?”
“It is a paintbrush—the Kingdom of Heaven was built with it and exists with it.”
"Where's the door on the road?"
"That's a scrap."
"A scrap?" Xia Xiu said to himself doubtfully.
The difference between a door and a scrap manuscript is huge.
“Yes, it’s a waste manuscript.” Mu said affirmatively.
"So, what's behind the door?"
Xia Xiu's eyes flashed slightly and asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Behind the door, maybe it is the reflection of the world, maybe it is a road to hell paved with ideals..." This time Mu's answer was a little unclear, as if he was deliberately avoiding the twin doors. existence.
Xia Xiu had noticed a long time ago that not only Mu, but the entire Kingdom of Heaven seemed to be deliberately ignoring the existence of the Twin Gate.
So, he chose to bypass this problem and continue to use this opportunity to get information.
"How many people in Heaven know about the existence of [Spiral Road]?"
"Only a few people at the top know about it, and very few people in the resolution meeting know about it, at least 0-13 absolutely don't know about it. ”
“Did 0-13 really cut off one-third of the glory of heaven?”
“This is a good question, and my answer is-I don’t know.”
“…”
Xia Xiu was silent for a while, and then continued to ask questions.
“What is at the top of the road?”
“A miracle.”
“What are the twenty-four thrones on the road?”
"That is the [Holy Casting] of the Kingdom of Heaven. Generally, angels who graduate from the two academies will complete nineteen angel implant transformations. And when they are promoted to high-level angels, that is, [Senate Angels], they will be composed of twenty-four thrones." Increase the number of surgeries to twenty-four. Normally, this kind of promotion can be completed directly in the [Holy Ark]. But you..., something happened and you entered the [Spiral Road]."
Having said this, Mu couldn't help but look back at Xia Xiu's second heart on the right side and the modifications to other parts.
"You are special. You can selectively modify those twenty-four surgeries - after all, your second heart alone is worth more than the other twenty-four routine surgeries combined. "Higher."
Xia Xiu nodded, and then asked: "What else can they do?"
"They can also serve as ether templates for your [Torino Type I] calculations." The resources come from them."
Xia Xiu nodded clearly, and then continued to ask:
"Why can't I reach the top of this road? But you can take me along?"
"..., because it's not time yet, and there are only two people in the entire Kingdom of Heaven who are qualified to be on this road." Walking.
As for climbing to the top, so far, there is no one.”
“Why?”
Xia Xiu doesn’t think Mu can reach the top. The top of the road is just a [miracle], so it is impossible for Mu to fail to reach the top.
Through the dialogue, he has understood that the [miracle] at the top of the road cannot be compared with the value of the road itself.
“Because it’s not time yet, and also because that’s not my choice.”
When Mu finished saying this, Xia Xiu felt dizzy.
When he opened his eyes again, he had walked out of the [Spiral Road], and the place he was now was...
The fourth floor of the unknown land·Az Lute.
Also known as the "near world", it is the highest spiritual level, the place closest to the Supreme Program and the essence of Eden.
In the world of [Azlut], the infinite brilliance of heaven is not limited by any form or structure.
After arriving in the world of [Azlut], Xia Xiu naturally let go of his hand.
Then, he saw Mu looking at him seriously and then said something inexplicably.
“One thirty-sixth.”
"What?" Xia Xiu asked in confusion.
"Eden and [Yahweh] are waiting for you."
Mu did not answer directly, but continued to maintain his Riddler attributes.
