The night is dark, and darkness and chaos are enveloping the world.

Martyr's City, No. 21 Birch Street, is a house with a distinctly Middle-earth style.

In the depths of the house, in a bedroom on the second floor of an attic.

"Woo......"

In the darkness, a figure was curled up tightly on the bed, trembling all over, and unconsciously let out a low roar of pain and struggle.

After a long time, the trembling in his body slowly stopped, and he gradually regained his composure, and then lay down on the bed limply.

A candle on the table suddenly lit up.

The dim light illuminated his face, and it was the squadron leader of the Justice Corps, 'Li Chenghai'!

At this time, the clothes on his body were soaked with sweat, and there was a trace of confusion and fear on his pale face, as well as ...... Deep helplessness.

Li Chenghai lay on his back on the bed, looking at the curtain in a daze, and after a long time, he suddenly spoke:

"It's getting harder and harder for me to control myself...... The mental pollution caused by the delirium hallucinations is also getting worse and worse......

"You say, how long can I hold on?"

He was the only one in the bedroom, but he didn't say it like he was talking to himself.

The next moment, beside his bed, a beautiful black-haired woman in a green robe suddenly appeared out of thin air, sitting on the edge of the bed and gently wiping the sweat on his forehead, and said softly with a distressed face:

"You've got to hold on...... Isn't it true that the high-ranking members of the Valhalla Temple may have some special methods to combat spiritual pollution? If you can find them, there may be hope, don't give up. ”

When Li Chenghai heard this, there was a bitter smile on his face, and he shook his head and said:

"Qingyu, with my current ability, I have no hope of finding those high-level members......

"Alas, it's all because I'm in too much of a hurry, I practiced spiritual mantras too often in the first two years, and I still have to force them to practice even though I know that delirium hallucinations continue to appear...... Otherwise, it wouldn't end up like this......

"Now, not only can't you improve your spiritual power, but even the professional ability of the Demon God Eater can't improve......

"Oh, what kind of genius am I......"

The beautiful woman in the green robe looked at him silently, and whispered with tears in her eyes:

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault, if I wasn't in a hurry to let you avenge me, otherwise it wouldn't be like this......"

Li Chenghai turned his head to look at her, reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, shook his head lightly and said:

"How can I blame you for this...... It's my greatest luck to be able to summon you and have your Heroic Spirit......"

The two were silent.

Half an hour later.

The beautiful woman in the green robe suddenly said:

"By the way, didn't you go to meet a new member of your Valhalla today......? Maybe she knows how to fight mental pollution? Would you like to ask her?"

Li Chenghai sighed and said:

"I'm afraid she's a descendant of Bylos......

"I went to the scene of Biloth's death once this morning, and the canon on Bilos was missing, so I guessed that she might have a successor, and the summoning ritual circle in the basement could have been used again, maybe outsiders don't know, but I know that the last time of the circle was also used.

"Plus that girl had bought an urn of extremely old age, so I'm almost certain that she's a descendant of Bylos, and I'm sure she's summoned a Heroic Spirit, so I'm afraid the scene was also faked.

"But...... Even Bylos didn't know what the special method of fighting spiritual pollution was, let alone her descendants, although that girl was not as innocent as the legend suggested, but I am afraid that her heroic spirit taught her......"

He shook his head slightly and said:

"Anyway, I can't hold on anymore, so why bother revealing my identity to her again? Religious members are doomed to no good end...... It's better to let her live a good life alone, otherwise the more exposure you have, the greater the risk of exposure. ”

The beautiful woman in the green robe had pity in her eyes, and said in a low voice:

"You're always like that...... Always for the sake of others, and back then, if you didn't leave to cover your teacher, you wouldn't have to join the Justice Corps so dangerously......"

"If it weren't for the teacher, I would have starved to death...... If it weren't for the teacher, I wouldn't have been able to summon you, so what is this reward?" Li Chenghai shook his head slightly.

The beautiful woman in the green robe was silent, just bowed her head and kissed him.

After a while, after parting his lips, Li Chenghai turned his head to look at her and said softly:

"Qingyu, I guess...... The next time my delirium hallucinations broke out, I couldn't hold on...... I don't want to be an apostle of the evil gods, the next time it breaks out, you can kill me, it is also a kind of happiness to die at your hands......"

"I don't want to ......," the beautiful woman in the green robe suddenly cried bitterly.

Li Chenghai slowly closed his eyes and said:

"I'm so tired, Qingyu, it's hard to resist this mental pollution, let me sleep for a while......"

The beautiful woman in the green robe wiped her tears, lowered her head and kissed her lover, and then disappeared.

The candle was extinguished.

The room was dark again, and Li Chenghai gradually fell into a deep sleep in the darkness and fell into a dream.

In a trance, he suddenly heard a sound ringing in his ears.

Who?

The voice kept echoing in his head, and it grew louder and louder, and soon it sounded in his ears like rolling thunder, revealing endless majesty and lofty indifference.

"Come and see me. ”

Li Chenghai woke up suddenly, suddenly opened his eyes, and then was stunned.

He looked around in disbelief, and to his horror he realized that he was not in his own bed in the Martyr's City, but in front of a massive bronze wall!

Under your feet is the mottled bronze ground with an ancient atmosphere, and in the distance is the vast and boundless dark starry sky, where you can see countless legendary 'stars'!

He turned to look again, and was shocked to find that behind him was a huge staircase leading to the bottom, which exuded a mysterious obsidian color, and there was no end in sight, as if it were in the distant netherworld.

"Here...... Here it is......"

Li Chenghai looked around tremblingly, and a shocking thought suddenly rose in his heart, which shocked him.

He suddenly looked up, and saw that there was still a swirling light on the edge above the 'bronze wall', outlining a legendary image that was somewhat familiar to him......

He took a few steps back, and when he looked over, he found that the bronze wall was hexagonal, carved with countless strange reliefs, and there was a deep gap in the center of the wall, faintly revealing a mysterious light......

"This is the door!"

Li Chenghai reacted suddenly.

The obsidian-like steps to the sky, the huge temple like a bronze beast, and countless mysterious bronze hexagonal doors are carved...... All this says a point.

He muttered incredulously:

"How is that possible...... This seems to be recorded in the canon...... The temple where the great gods of the Immortal reside!"

That's when —

"Boom!"

The huge bronze wall in front of him suddenly cracked, or rather, the bronze door slowly parted to the sides, revealing the deep darkness inside the temple.

A turquoise emerald path appeared before his eyes, leading along the temple gate to the depths of the temple.

At the same time, a sense of oppression like the collapse of the sky came from the depths of the temple, this sense of oppression was high and boundless, like the scorching sun in the sky, knowing that the scorching sun could not be approached, but the sun gave birth to all things, and there was no intention of overbearing destruction.

Divinity?

Li Chenghai couldn't help but kneel in front of the temple door, his heart was full of awe and excitement, could it be that the great god finally heard his prayer?

Then, a vast voice sounded as if it came from above the heavenly dome:

"Humble believer, you are allowed to enter the temple ninety-nine steps. ”

Is God calling me? Li Chenghai trembled with excitement, stood up with weak legs, slowly crossed the threshold of the temple, and walked step by step along the jade road to the temple.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven......

At the same time, he slowly counted in his heart, for fear that he would go one more step or one less step, and disobey God's will.

It is recorded in the canon that the Emerald Road is 9,999 meters long, and he can only walk 99 steps, which is only a small part of the Emerald Road, but he is already content.

After all, in the legends of the canon, only a very small number of the 'Holy Lords' who have presided over the Valhalla Temple have reached the end of the Emerald Path.

The average believer is not even qualified to see God, let alone enter the temple!

...... Ninety-eight, ninety-nine!

Finally, when Li Chenghai walked to the ninety-nine steps, he immediately stopped, and subconsciously glanced at the majestic figure shrouded in shadows on the divine throne in the distance, which was the center of the monstrous divine power.

It's God!

Li Chenghai didn't dare to look directly at the gods so disrespectfully, and immediately knelt on the ground and said respectfully and reverently:

"God, your believer Li Chenghai, follow your will and come to meet you!"
