Chapter 16: The End of the Endless Staircase
So, without hesitation, he took his own steps, and walked steadily along this golden staircase towards the endless clouds, and in this pure spiritual world, there is no sense of time passing at all, sometimes it may be a thousand years, sometimes it may even be ten thousand years!
Constantly going up and up, Lin Yumo kept climbing this staircase that led directly to the sky and couldn't see the end.
I don't know how long I walked, until Lin Yumo went from simply wanting to reach the end of this ladder to walking until it was boring and had a feeling of wanting to give up.
"Why should I climb this ladder? What is the point of being able to reach the other side? Am I really right to do this? Will the insistence without seeing hope bear fruit? β
At this moment, Lin Yumo almost couldn't suppress a certain hesitation and worry, seeing the layers of winding and circling as if he was deliberately making things difficult for himself, Lin Yumo suddenly had a heavy sense of exhaustion, I don't know why he felt that he seemed to have a lot more weight on his body unconsciously, his legs seemed to be as heavy as lead, he lifted his legs with difficulty but hesitated not to know whether to fall down.
"Let's stop here, even if you know it yourself, isn't the pursuit of mystery and something delusional from the beginning?"
Lin Yumo's ears faintly appeared such a murmur.
"It's all fake, it's all an illusion of your imagination! What otherworldly? What is the soul of the sea? Those are all things to deceive children! As soon as you close your eyes, the dream will naturally wake up when you open them again! β
A low chuckling voice whispered in his ear with all kinds of youhuo and demonic meanings.
"It's better to go back! Why don't you go back! This is not a good place to stay for long! Don't stay long! β
Youhuo can't do it, this voice has changed compassion and broad, just like Hong Zhong Da Lu wants to shock Lin Yumo's soul!
However, Lin Yumo, who was maintaining the same posture like this, suddenly stretched out his frowning brows at this moment, and then the soles of his feet also stepped heavily towards the next step with a firmer will than before at this moment!
"Hesitation and doubt, this is human nature, not knowing what is right, is exactly the choice that everyone will face, but! I'm such a confused guy! What do I want to do? What kind of goal do I want to pursue? I want to face my life of grievance and sorrow! I couldn't help but think a lot along the way! β
Lin Yumo stretched out his arms towards the sky, as if he was about to envelop this piece of heaven and earth in his arms.
"But it's stupid to think about it, I'm already on this path, but I'm thinking about where it's going. It's ridiculous! β
The corners of Lin Yumo's mouth raised a confident smile again.
"If you want to know what is at the end of the road, just walk this road until you reach the end of the road, after the heavy rain will be sunny, and the willows and dark of this side will be the flowers of the future! As an ascetic seeker, just walk wholeheartedly! I didn't think about this simple truth from the beginning! β
Lin Yumo's eyes suddenly ignited a more vigorous fighting spirit at this moment, and he suddenly realized this, he covered his stomach and laughed heartily, and said loudly towards this world.
"It's really a gaffe, since when did it start to have this kind of feeling? Smell a rat? Hesitate? Abandon? I would have realized this kind of thing a long time ago, if this path was what I was after; If all that is at the end of this place is my ideals and aspirations! Why should I hesitate? Haven't I already been prepared to pay what I can get in reality, including power and money, in exchange for the price that once I step into the door of mystery, I won't regret even if I die because of it? Therefore, from the very beginning, the meaning of this path is to torture my will! So no matter how long the road is, as long as the will is firm and never wavered for a moment, then one day it will come to an end! -- So for those who have always been firm in their goals and have always walked in one breath, the length of the road is meaningless! β
"I won't be confused by these boring thoughts anymore!"
Thinking of this, Lin Yumo's body, which originally exuded a colorless transparent shimmer, suddenly bloomed from within it at this time, and the light gradually changed from a faint point at the beginning to a bright light that could completely envelop his body, at this time, Lin Yumo could clearly feel that the golden light that emerged from his body, although it was still a little weaker, but fundamentally, it was the same as the golden ladder under his feet, and what he didn't know was, the source of the golden light in his body is inextricably linked to the golden ladder under his feet.
At the same time that Lin Yumo's body had such a change, the stairs at the bottom of Lin Yumo's feet suddenly began to move as quickly as if they had come to life, even if Lin Yumo had not yet expressed his intention to move forward, the golden stairs under his feet still carried him all the way up to the higher clouds, and almost in the blink of an eye, he crossed the seemingly unreachable distance and directly arrived at the exit at the end of the stairs.
The dark golden pattern of light and darkness, the base is covered with runes and laws that flicker like stars, and behind it is a dark void as deep as a black hole, and the gate of light, which looks very majestic and oppressive, stands silently at the end of the passage, as if nothing has changed since eternity, and anyone who sees this gate will have a heartfelt awe at the first glance.
And after sending Lin Yumo to the light gate, the incomparably long staircase of light behind him shattered violently, and re-dispersed into a stream of lively streamers like small fish.
But before Lin Yumo could say anything, these little guys fled as if they were shy, which made Lin Yumo, who just wanted to express his gratitude, a little dumbfounded, such a spiritual thing is really incredible.
However, this golden road also made Lin Yumo truly realize the weakness hidden under his strong appearance, and after a baptism of his spirit, Lin Yumo finally strengthened his belief again after the setback of this ceremony.
And this road is undoubtedly an example to tell sΓΉ that if you want to reach the end of success, what you need is undoubtedly perseverance and continuous efforts, even if there is an abyss under your feet, even if you are not careful, you will be crushed, but if you want to reach the end of what you are pursuing, then what you need is to set the goal and keep moving forward with perseverance!
"The more I get to the end, the more curious I become, the more I want to know, what is hidden behind this door of light? But I guess it won't disappoint me! β
Lin Yumo, who thought about it like this, didn't find that he didn't know when he had gradually gotten out of the intuitive state of the sage mode just now, but although he had gotten out of this state, the residual influence of this state on Lin Yumo still existed, and it had not completely disappeared, but at that time, presumably, in Lin Yumo's consciousness now, the characteristics of his personal will are becoming more and more obvious.
Lin Yumo only glanced at the spectacular buildings around him, and then he didn't stop anymore, taking his own steps, not shocked by the mysterious grandeur of this gate at all, but moving forward with firm willpower.
At the moment when Lin Yumo raised his hand and pushed open the door, as if he had passed through a time and space tunnel, countless colorful streamers floated around him.
It seems that the weight of time, and the changeability of space, each streamer seems to represent a moving story, but Lin Yumo is deaf to these, and there is only one thought echoing in his mind at this time, that is, no matter what, I have to see what is behind this door!
seemed to feel the firmness of Lin Yumo's will, and the streamers representing various things and stories gradually began to decrease and fade, and in the end, I hardly knew how long it would take for one to appear.
It wasn't until the last streamer also crossed Lin Yumo's eyes, and Lin Yumo, who came back to his senses in a trance, found that he was still maintaining a striding posture, and he was only slightly involved in the gorgeous and majestic door in front of him.
Behind the gate, Lin Yumo saw a vast palace, the polished huge diamonds were combined into the palace bulging dome, a total of twelve layers in Lin Yumo's eyes like an upside-down hill chandelier hanging in the middle of the huge dome, the skeleton of the chandelier is all cast of bright and pure silver, like a tree branch, the complex and magnificent lampstand is not placed on the usual candles, but inlaid with countless gemstones that constantly emit soft fluorescence, The tens of thousands of gems on the chandelier illuminate the palace, and the diamonds that make up the dome are deliberately polished and reflected, reflecting a brilliant and dazzling light.
Lin Yumo walked in the middle of the main hall, made of marble, smooth enough to reflect the figure on it, and formed a cross-shaped shadow under the light above his head.
"Smack!"
Just as Lin Yumo walked into the core of the palace and began to walk towards the rather steep platform led by the golden staircase, except for the subtle friction sound caused by the contact between the soles of his feet and the ground when Lin Yumo walked, there was basically no other sound, and the silence was so silent that people felt a certain sense of oppression in the empty space, and suddenly there was a sound that was extremely incompatible with the gorgeous sense of pressure around him, dull but loud. It seems to be the sound of books collapsing on purpose to get someone's attention.
"What a surprise to me, waste, I didn't expect a person like you to be able to come to this place with his own strength!"
