Chapter 245: A Mortal Trial

readx;? The sky was the deepest of nights, dotted with stars, and the bright moon brought the only light to the world. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Ian's surroundings were a chaotic and turbid sea, and he was obviously in such a seawater, but he didn't feel even the slightest cold.

The world is illusory. He knew this since he fell from this world. This world is not made up of so-called matter, it is the condensation of the thoughts of all living beings in this world, or the purest embodiment.

This is a fantasy world. Ian realized this, and then he looked up at the sea of gray around him, a slight confusion in his eyes.

Where am I going to find you, Fei'er?

He muttered to himself. Being in chaos means having no direction. The moment Phil fell into this world, she saw the shore and saw the wilderness behind it. But Ian? He didn't see anything, in this moment when his heart was covered in dazed and sad, he just saw the sea, the endless sea.

In the mortal world, all life comes from the sea. And in this realm of the mind, all faith and wisdom also rise from the sea. In this world of the mind, the chaotic sea of ash means disorientation and directionlessness. Mortals have fallen into this sea of ash since birth, merging their own chaotic thoughts into it, staining it even more turbid.

Ian fell here in his most confused moment, thinking he didn't see anything but the sea of ash, but he actually saw something else. He saw the night, he saw the stars, he saw the moon hanging high in the sky.

He gradually realized in his heart, because Fei'er had prepared a lighthouse for him to lead. He looked at the moon in the sky, then looked down, and even saw the shore he had never seen before. Just like at the beginning, in his most confused moment, it was Fei'er who told him the meaning of existence.

He began to take steps, and with each step, his body was lifted upward by an invisible force, as if rising from a sea of chaos. He found the meaning of existence and the direction of his efforts, so he got out of the chaos at the bottom, gradually transcended the vast majority of mortals, walked to the other side, and went to sobriety.

He walked to the shore, but couldn't help but stop there. He had already seen the vast field in front of him, and suddenly he felt that a dense forest had appeared in front of the field. There was infinite darkness and terror hidden in this dense forest, and countless traps and labyrinths were hidden, so he, like most people who had just come ashore, stopped here, stayed on the border between sobriety and chaos.

Ian knew it was a sight Phil had never seen before. Because Fei'er's heart is extremely pure, she stepped directly into the wilderness. And his soul is dirty and complicated, so he is blocked here by this dense forest.

This is a lost forest, and it is to bring back to the lost the sober people who have stepped into the forest, to hinder their path, to bring them back to the sea.

Ian didn't want to go back to the sea, he didn't want to go back to the muddy world again. Because once that happens, Fei'er's hard work will be in vain, and he will never find Fei'er.

However, there is no point in stopping there.

Many smart people choose to stay here, not to touch the unknown and horror in this dense forest, awake but do nothing, and gradually unconsciously return to the sea. There are also some more intelligent people who choose to walk by the sea and want to get around this jungle. But in the world of the mind, they cannot be deceived, and no matter how far they go, they can never get around.

Ian didn't know how long he had been there, but he knew he couldn't stop indefinitely. Because he had stopped, he knew that the people who had stopped there seemed to be smart, but in fact they were afraid.

They are afraid of being lost, of being unable to stay awake and assert themselves in the intricacies of the world.

Ian had already been smart once, scared once, and he didn't want to stop any longer, so he took another step and stepped into the dense forest without hesitation.

Darkness and horror, traps and labyrinths, Ian thought he would see them the moment he stepped into the jungle. To his astonishment, however, he saw not these, but a vast expanse of wilderness.

I'm here?

Ian looked back and found in disbelief that he had already stepped through the entire dense forest in just one step. He felt incredible, ridiculous. The forest was holding most people back, and he couldn't believe he could easily overcome it.

All horrors are just deceptions, and the moment you muster up the real courage to leave no room for yourself, then you can easily overcome these fears.

Ian figured out why.

So he no longer hesitated, turned back, stepped into the field, and continued on his way.

He knew that he was going to be a long, long time to come, because when he set foot on this field, he already knew that this verdant and beautiful, boundless wilderness was called life.

In this wilderness, the length of the path taken by each person is different, because the lifespan of mortals is different. Anyone who wants to walk through this wilderness and reach that incredible place must walk in this wilderness for the rest of his life.

When it overcomes external obstacles, it tests only inner perseverance. The only thing that can make mortals cross this field is the faith that carries out a lifetime.

Ian didn't initially have that kind of belief, even saying that he used to just wander the shore. Later, in the crystal hall underground, he once gained the faith of his life, but lost her at the top of the Falling Star Tower.

Phil's death meant the collapse of faith, but she gave Ian a new faith before the end.

"Come to me. ”

This is the belief that came out of Ian's heart. After seeing this world, he had a fluke in his heart that he shouldn't have. So he believed that he would not fall, and that he would be able to reach the final end.

A long time passed in this world of the mind, and Ian walked on this boundless field with even steps. He didn't look at the distant sky, and he certainly didn't count how long he had walked. He didn't care how much life he was supposed to have, he only cared if he could see the scenery he wanted to see when he reached the end.

The wilderness of life has finally come to an end. Standing at the end, Ian looked up, finally confirming his long-standing conjecture, and finally understanding the final request made by Phil.

Because in front of him, it was a majestic and magnificent holy snow-capped mountain. Seventy-seven thousand seven hundred and seventy-seven stairs wind up the mountain, hidden in the clouds and mist, to the top of the mountain. And on the top of the mountain, which reached the top of the clouds, a huge silver-white gate that should not have been seen by the naked eye of mortals stood impressively, exuding the brilliance that belonged to the sages.

"Fei'er, you want me to ascend to the clouds" to be continued.
