Underneath the Divine Realm are many floating cities.

The night sky above the city is always gray-blue, and below is a bottomless darkness.

There is no sun, moon and stars, no rotation of the four seasons, not even wind and rain,

Cities are like ghosts trapped in graves, wandering in fear in the endless darkness.

The people of all the cities dreamed of escaping from this dark and ghostly place.

And there is only one chance to escape, only on the first day of July every year.

On that day, the dark sky will gradually turn into a pure and beautiful blue, and the bright stars will suddenly cover the sky.

When the sky begins to change, the people of the cities like the walking dead will also come to life.

Looking up at the stars in the sky with reverent and fanatical eyes, praying and waiting.

When countless streamers rain down from the sky like a meteor shower, the cities erupt in short bursts of enthusiastic cheers.

In the blink of an eye, the streamer settled, turning into shining doors in the cities.

Those shiny portals are called God's gates, and as long as you walk in, you will be taken to the world of gods.

Those who are taken away by the Divine Gate must pass many tests in the small world, and after gaining the approval of the gods, they can become new gods.

When you become a god, you can create your own small world, have a bright 'star', and become the most powerful existence in heaven and earth.

And what will happen to the loser, no one knows the answer, and few people are willing to think deeply,

Almost everyone feels that whether they become gods or ghosts after leaving, it is better than the current immortality and survival.

Being able to die outside has also become a thing worth yearning for.

Due to the limited number of gods and too many people who want to get it, each city has different ways of fighting.

In the floating city, it is a maze cave.

The maze is a very dangerous place, and every year some people disappear into it.

The number of people who disappear depends on the number of people who enter.

The more people who enter, the more people who disappear.

Still, in the second year, there were plenty of people rushing in with confidence......

When everyone was happily preparing to meet the Divine Gate, Youjiuluo would deliberately avoid it far away, wandering around the border like a ghost, sighing one after another.

"Why do you have to go to the maze? Wouldn't it be nice to change the way? Draw lots, even if it's a fight......"

She grunted and walked back and forth, her steps very light, and she didn't dare to get too close to the edge.

Because the borders of the Floating City are not even and not strong enough,

At some point, a piece of the ground would peel off, whistling into the darkness below, and soon there would be no sound.

Once she was sitting on a hill and suddenly it didn't feel right.

As soon as I ran down, I turned around and found that the hill was gone, and there was no sound of landing for a long time......

The border is dangerous, but it's quiet, and no one in the Floating City will come here except her.

And the longest thing she did was to quietly look at the floating city near and far in a daze.

Some floated higher than the float, and she could see the shining imprint of the city.

The outermost circle is a golden circle, with a half-curved moon in the middle, and a bright star inlaid in the moon.

The ancestors said that it was the mark left by God.

With these sigils, the cities will not fall beneath the unfathomable depths.

Some were lower than the Floating City, and she could see the blurred outlines......

Sometimes, when she looked at it again after a while, she would find that some of the familiar cities were gone, and had become unfamiliar outlines.

Her favorite was the eastern border, because there was a city not far from Fuyu to the east, and it was floating at a similar height.

She could see some faint outlines, mountains, houses......

The biggest reason is that a blurry figure is occasionally seen, standing at the boundary and looking into the distance like her.

The man had strange eyes, which could shine a dark golden light in the darkness,

When he blinked, it was like a twinkling star.

She couldn't see his face clearly, only that he was very tall and quiet, and often stood there for a long time without moving.

If it weren't for those twinkling eyes, and seeing him turn away, she would have thought he was just a statue.

"I haven't seen you in a few days, how are you doing?"

Yu Jiuluo waved and shouted at the other side.

The person on the other side did not move, nor did he respond.

"I can see you at this time of year, don't you like the Divine Gate, and what method do you people use to decide who gets the Divine Gate?"

Yu Jiuluo continued to shout, not caring if the other party could hear it.

She likes to shout like a madman at someone who doesn't respond, because he, like her, will stand on the border for a long time when the gate of God comes.

In the past, when she was tired of shouting, she stood in a daze until the sky became dark again.

But this year, she was extra anxious, so she wanted to continue walking along the border.

"I'm leaving, take care!"

She shouted, waved, and turned......

"Huh?"

Halfway through, Youjiuluo suddenly turned back again,

The moment she turned around, she seemed to see the man move, but she couldn't be sure.

In the past few years, she has seen him dozens of times, shouted hundreds of words to him, and never received the slightest response.

"Did you just wave at me?"

She shouted, and the person on the other side waved at her again, then turned away, and was soon gone.

"He heard it, but why didn't he reply......"

Yu Jiuluo muttered as he walked slowly.

At this time, the stars have not yet appeared, and it will be a while before the Shenmen lands, and the clansmen are almost all gathered in the city at this time to wait.

The things that everyone thinks are the most worthy of expectation and joy are the ones she rejects and hates the most.

So she became the one that everyone rejected and hated the most......

When she passed a pile of strange rocks, she faintly heard the voice of talking,

Walking slowly, I saw a group of children.

There were about a dozen, ranging in age from five or six to their teens.

At this time, the city center was crowded with people, and they didn't go at all because they couldn't get in.

"The sky is starting to light up, and the Divine Gate is about to come. ”

The eldest child pointed to the night sky and said triumphantly: "In a few years, when I grow up, I will definitely grab a door, and I will definitely become a god! When you shout to the sky, maybe I can hear it, and maybe I will take you to the sky......

The children all looked at the sky, their eyes full of longing.

In fact, they can't tell whether there are new stars rising every year.

Because there are so many stars in the sky.

You Jiuluo walked over slowly, and said as he walked: "You are only a few years old and you have become a god in the day, and the god is not as good as you think. ”

When they saw her approaching, the children immediately exclaimed, and they were about to run away.

I don't know who even shouted, 'Youkai is coming.'"

You Jiuluo rolled his eyes helplessly, not knowing whether to be angry or laughing.
