It's hard to walk, it's hard to walk, it's hard to walk, it's hard to walk.

With the burden on his back, the leather bag in his hand is getting heavier and heavier, and the light talisman, the cloud climbing talisman, the cloud slippery talisman, the magic talisman, the armor horse talisman, etc., the rune paper that can save effort has been exhausted, and the distance between the bronze gate and Zheng Qing in the distance seems to have not changed.

A journey with no end in sight.

Not only that, but the road under your feet seems to be getting harder and harder.

With each step, either your ankles sink into the grass or your shoes step into the mud puddles that appear at some point. Every step was very hard.

"It's really a dead horse running from Wangshan. ”

The young wizard couldn't help but smile bitterly when he panted again, pulled his feet out of the mud puddle, and glanced at the vague but clear bronze gate in the distance.

Then he was stunned for a moment.

Because he thought of a similar sentence he had heard before—the sea of desire. If desire is as endless as the sea, then there will be an abyss.

Zheng Qing was shocked.

He paused, was silent for a moment, and dropped the two leather pockets in his hands.

Colourful, crystal-clear gems in the leather pockets spilled to the ground, shining in the gray sky, casting a seductive halo.

I lifted my feet again and walked forward, and it was really much easier.

Not only that, but when Zheng Qing looked up at the huge bronze door, he suddenly found that the distance between the door and him had narrowed a little closer—he had just seen it a few minutes ago, and he would never be mistaken.

Zheng Qing stopped again.

He pulled out the gray cloth bag that hung around his waist.

He took out a blue cat's eye from the cloth bag and threw it on the grass.

The cat's eye rolled in mid-air and disappeared into the soft dirt, and Zheng Qing didn't look at it the whole time. Just staring intently at the tall bronze door.

The moment the cat's eye hit the ground, Zheng Qing knew that it was not an illusion - the bronze door was really a little closer to him. Since he didn't move, naturally the door moved.

One beautiful gem after another floated out of the gray cloth bag and landed in the wilderness.

The black grass was soft and tame again, and the soil under his feet became much stronger, and there was no longer a quagmire of pit people. Of course, more importantly, that gate is getting closer and closer to Zheng Qing.

Until the last handful of gems left, Zheng Qingzheng was about to throw them all away in one go, but suddenly stopped.

"Where is this?" he shoved a pale blue moonstone into a gray cloth bag.

And then a green peridot: "Who's the guy in yellow?"

A deep obsidian: "What does he want?"

A beautiful cat's eye: "What do I get?"

A crystal clear topaz: "How do I get back to school...... With Zhu Si. Safe. For this problem, Zheng Qing will prepare an extra gem for every additional precondition.

There were seven gems in total, and Zheng Qing felt that he couldn't use them anymore, but just in case, he also picked up a few golden beans and played with them in the palm of his hand, just in case.

After all, the guy in yellow doesn't look reliable enough.

After finishing the arrangement, the young public scholarship student no longer hesitated, looked up at the bronze gate that was close at hand, and no longer ignored the gems scattered under his feet, and ran away.

......

......

When Zheng Qing ran all the way through the bronze gate.

Extremely far away from him, in an area shrouded in endless emptiness, Mr. Wu was also walking towards a large door. It's just that compared with Zheng Qing's simple and heavy bronze door, the gate in front of Mr. Wu is much more gorgeous.

To say that it is a 'gate' is actually just the embodiment of the concept of 'connectivity'.

It's like 'Tao' in the practical sense and 'Tao' in the philosophical sense.

Therefore, the gate does not have components such as 'threshold', 'door' and 'door leaf' in the popular sense. It is composed of countless spheres of light emitting different radiances, each ball of light is a portal to a universe, and each light is a link between self and existence.

Endless light illuminates this abyss, which engulfs even darkness.

Mr. Wu stood in front of the gate, looked up, looked at the 'gate' made of billions of glorious spheres, and sighed: "Even for me, sometimes it is difficult to imagine that you still have self-consciousness. ”

Countless balls of light trembled at His words, countless rays of light flickered because of these words, and the tremors and flickering converged into a thick, trilling and chaotic stream of words: "I think, therefore, I am." ”

Mr. Wu took his hands, looked at the brilliance and orbs, and nodded:

"It looks like you're getting close to the last step...... At this step, you have gone further than Naiako and Shabu. ”

The voice from the 'gate' slowly became clearer from the thick and complex: "All things, negative yin, and hold yang...... When you converge into one and cross that moat, our 'divergent' path will naturally be unblocked. ”

"So you should thank me for keeping you from falling into the chaos of Azathoth. ”

“...... Thank you. ”

The corners of Mr. Wu's mouth twitched, and after a while, he spoke again: "Thank you is not by saying. ”

The infinite ball of light that emitted different brilliance trembled slightly, and instantly, countless pictures flashed in front of Mr. Wu - different worlds, different universes, different Sanyou study houses, and in front of Mr. Wu of all ages and states, a mass similar to rainbow bubbles appeared.

They formed a vaguely humanoid state, and saluted the gentleman respectfully.

It is an expression of gratitude across time and space, in countless dimensions and worlds.

It's very solemn.

Mr. Wu sighed.

"Something practical," he said, waving his hand, and the rainbow bubbles in the countless images vanished, "I don't like this kind of vain thing...... I wonder what you, like Nikolas, Hasta, Mhisha, and even the slacker of Satogua, are up to, and why you keep showing up at the school in violation of the Alliance's agreement with the stars. Especially in front of my students!"

"They are not my people," the voice from the door carried a hint of annoyance, "...... You shouldn't be bothering me. Like Mhisha, who always covets my authority, why should I wipe his ass? ”

"Because you are in all 'Him'. Because your tentacles extend into the endless universe and encompass everything. And I'm too lazy to go through the timelines...... This kind of thing is the most convenient for you. ”

The infinite light and orbs trembled slightly under this explanation, as if they were angry, but also as if they were thinking.

Long.

Or just a split second later.

The last words came from the gate: "They are just pinning their hopes on the future." ”
