At the beginning and end of the spiral path, two huge portals stand silently, existing at the highest and deepest bottom of the space, as if guarding the mysterious entrance to the unknown world.

These portals are extraordinary, they are not made of physical materials, but are composed entirely of pure light, shining with an otherworldly light.

These rays of light intertwined in the air, as if they had their own will and life, entangled and rotated with each other, and finally formed a huge circular aura.

Each aura is like a separate universe, full of mystery and power. The aura slowly rotated in the air, emitting a dazzling light that illuminated every inch of space in the spiral road.

The roars emitted by these auras are not vibrations of sound, but an oscillation of light, which echoes in the air, creating a solemn and sacred atmosphere.

The combination of sound and light gives people an indescribable sense of shock, as if witnessing some kind of cosmic miracle.

Standing in front of these two portals, whether it is the Skyrim Gate above or the Abyss Gate below, it gives people an unfathomable feeling.

"Twin Gates......

There was a blazing sensation from the corner of his eyes, and bright red liquid flowed down from Xia Xiu's pure white eyes.

What's behind the door?

He doesn't see clearing.

Today's promotion ceremony is full of bizarre and unclear circumstances.

Eden seems to want to communicate openly and honestly with him, but it seems to be thinking about something, so he will use this riddler method to indirectly tell him some information that can be revealed at this stage.

"So, this path under my feet has to do with my coming into this world."

Xia Xiu stepped on the pure white and flawless sacred steps with his feet, and he was sure that his promotion process was definitely different from that of others.

Now he was thinking about how he would get out of here.

It's obviously a weird road.

Xia Xiu had seen the [Miracle], and he now held a quarter of the [Heavenly Bull] Miracle Fragment in his body.

And the road under your feet doesn't have any fluctuations about [miracles].

What he was thinking about now was whether he should take out the 'Heavenly Lever' and try to hit it hard.

He sat down on the steps and began to think about what to do.

Just as the Fourth Sword-Wielder of Heaven was standing on top of the spiral path, immersed in thoughts about leaving, a strange change suddenly took place in the sky.

Click-

A crack opened in the sky, as if the line between reality and surreality had been torn apart.

Through this gap, a white sun slowly rises and hangs high in the sky, exuding a soft and dazzling light.

However, if you look closely, you will see that this is not a real sun. It was actually a sea of pure and flawless glass, like the most perfect crystal, clear and transparent, shining with a charming light.

This sea of glass rises to the sky, and it is like a wonder hanging in the sky, which is breathtaking.

The sea of glass in the sky is mixed with fire, and the light has a fiery and vivid flame color, which is both sacred and powerful.

This sea of glass is undisturbed, like a huge mirror, reflecting the light in the sky, and it seems to be a huge window of the universe.

On this sea of glass, an old man in a white robe was walking on foot.

His right hand holds a delicate cane, while on each index finger of his hands is a ring that shimmers with a mysterious sheen.

The old man's steps were steady, looking around, his gaze piercing the sky and clouds, and finally landed on the fourth sword-wielder of the Heavenly Kingdom on the spiral road.

"And I saw as if there was a sea of glass mixed with fire, and I saw the overcomer, the image of the beast and the image of the beast, and the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass.

At this moment, Xia Xiu finally understood how the title of "Incandescent Sun", the third sword-wielder in the Heavenly Kingdom, came from.

His gaze couldn't help but be involuntary

fell on the "Sea of Glass".

That is the [miracle], and its own existence is equivalent to a small [Aetheric Ocean].

Mu also found the fourth sword-wielder in Heaven at this moment, and he looked at the blonde young man standing on the stairs with complicated eyes, and slowly paced towards him.

When Mu stood in front of the blonde youth, the other party shrugged his shoulders and quipped:

"Judging by your expression, it seems like I'm here at the wrong time."

"It's really not right, it's a little accident......

The crane-haired and childlike old man took over the topic like a kind elder, but in the face of Xia Xiu's seemingly joking, but actually tentative question, he still paused.

"Fifty years of backchecking...... it turned out to be such a backcheck method."

"It seems that Eden's approach has also surprised you, and this is not a surprise he gave to our sword-wielders."

Xia Xiu slowly got up and stood beside Mu.

"Maybe, I'm too old to stand the surprise."

As Mu spoke, he turned his cane upside down and handed the end of the cane to Xia Xiu.

Xia Xiu naturally understood the old man's consciousness, and he reached out to hold the cane.

"So, you're my fellow?"

"It's so direct, I thought you'd be cautious about tempting."

Mu watched Xia Xiu hold his cane and began to pace forward.

He walked in front, and Xia Xiu followed behind.

"The answer to this question will disappoint you, but I want you to understand one thing, we are comrades." Mu at the front replied slowly.

"Yes, we are comrades, I never question that." Xia Xiu at the back end didn't question this answer either.

"Don't think about it, I'm not your future, and you're not my past."

"And what do I mean to Heaven?" Xia Xiu then asked.

"You're confident and don't seem to be confused, can I ask why?"

Mu in front smiled.

The young man behind him never seems to question the meaning of his existence and his pursuit.

His question is what the kingdom of heaven means to him, not what it means to him.

"When I was a child, I was like a caged bird, always living in fear, and the adults I could see were always cursing each other with the most crude genitals in places where others could not see.

I have so far failed to find a more vile profanity, their words are a kind of collapse of the language system, and thanks to them, the most vulgar language I have ever heard when I grow up is so weak that I have rarely been overwhelmed by it later.

In the past, my "companions" followed their instructions to find their parents, and I was the smartest and most fearless of them all.

I never question that, in fact I am, so I'm the rebels, they're the submissives.

However, children are always children, adults are always adults, they will always impose fear, even stupidity.

At the beginning, you ran wantonly in the dark, with the sound of the piano, you ran faster and faster, the scenery around you began to grow slowly, experiencing life and death, at the last moment you slowed down, stopped at the end of the darkness, saw the light, but was pushed off the cliff, the scenery began to slowly change back to the way it was before... Back in the darkness, you can only curl up and fall asleep.

Then you understand that you have to lie dormant first, you have to obey first, listen to their stupid words that make you want to vomit.

They educate their children to disguise themselves, hide their desires and ambitions, and decorate themselves as a person who is universally recognized by social values, so it becomes the original sin to bluntly reveal their inner desires and ambitions, and we see in them the bravery and straightforwardness that we do not have.

It is precisely because of them, my companions, how unbearable and hypocritical those children look, that only I know how ugly the heart of the pent-up desire is.

And others will think that other people's purity is just a disguise because they are ugly.

So, I'm going to tear their hypocrisy away and prove that they are nothing more than that.

But they always hide in the shadows, believing in the laws of this society, sneering at those who violate the rules, and labeling others as arrogant, indifferent, selfish and ruthless, as if in this way they can naturally stand on the moral high ground to judge others, and watch the ending of others coldly, thinking that they represent justice, but in fact it is a long-planned murder.

They were hollow and I felt like I wanted to vomit, and I didn't want to be their kind.

Whenever I wake up in the night, I come back to reality.

I always see those faces as if the shutter had been slammed, leaving only an expressionless, unpopular, indifferent and empty face.

So I want to fly out of the cage more, I don't want to be a caged bird.

Later, I found my chance, and I ran out.

When I woke up again, I was presented with unlimited freedom, and then I understood that if there was a destiny in the world, I would only laugh at the impermanence of fate.

But I vowed at that time that I would never lie again, never deceive myself again, and live honestly.

I want to dance in the wind, in the place of the rising sun, in the place of the sunset, in the wind, in the light, to be the shadow of a dream on the top of the mountain.

I'm not going to give up the world to those I despise."

Xia Xiu finished with a smile, and the smile was as cheerful as ever.

After listening silently, he asked, "What happened to those people in the end?"

"They will live in shackles for the rest of their lives—everyone who can wear shackles will have food and clothing for the rest of their lives."

Mu didn't ask what happened to those who couldn't be shackled, and he already knew the answer.

"So, it's time for me to ask questions, right?" Xia Xiu asked rhetorically.

"Just ask, but there are some questions I can't answer directly." Mu nodded.

"What's under my feet?" Xia Xiu asked bluntly.

"Spiral Road." Mu also replied succinctly.

"What's it for?"

"It is the paintbrush – the kingdom of heaven is built by it, it exists because of it."

"Where is the door on the road?"

"That's a scrap."

"Scrapped?" Xia Xiu muttered to himself suspiciously.

The difference between the door and the waste manuscript is huge.

"Yes, scrapped." Mu said affirmatively.

"So, what's behind the door?"

Xia Xiu's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Behind the door, maybe it's a reflection of the world, maybe it's a way of hell paved by ideals......" This time Mu's answer was a little vague, as if he was deliberately avoiding the existence of twin doors.

Xia Xiu had noticed a long time ago that not only Mu, but the entire Heavenly Kingdom seemed to be deliberately ignoring the existence of the Twin Gates.

So, he chose to bypass the problem and continue to take this opportunity to set up messages.

"How many people in Heaven know about the existence of the Spiral Road?"

"Only a few people at the highest level know, and in the resolution, there are very few who know, at least 0-13 is absolutely unknown."

"Does 0-13 really cut off a third of the glory of Heaven?"

"That's a good question, and my answer is—I don't know."

「……」

Xia Xiu was silent for a while, and then continued to ask questions.

"What's at the top of the road?"

"A miracle."

"And what are the twenty-four thrones on the road?"

"It is the [Holy Casting] of the Kingdom of Heaven, and generally the angels who have graduated from the two houses will complete the transformation of the nineteen angelic implants. And when they are promoted to the high-ranking angels, that is, the [Seat Angels], the number of surgeries will be increased from the twenty-four thrones to twenty-four.

Normally, this kind of promotion can be done directly in the [Ark of Sacred Quarters]. And you're ......, something happened that made you walk into the spiral road."

Speaking of this, Mu couldn't help but look back at the second heart on Xia Xiu's right side, as well as the transformation of other parts.

"You're special, you can selectively transform those twenty-four surgeries - after all, the value of your second heart alone is already higher than the other twenty-four conventional surgeries combined."

Xia Xiu nodded, and then asked, "What else can they do?"

"They can also act as an aether template, and your [Turin Type I] computing resources come from them."

Xia Xiu nodded clearly, and then continued to ask:

"Why can't I get to the top of this road? And you can take me with you?"

"......, because it's not yet time, there are only two people in the entire kingdom of heaven who are qualified to walk on this path.

As for reaching the top, so far, there has not been a single one."

"Why?"

Xia Xiu didn't think that Mu couldn't get to the top, if the top of the road was just a [miracle], then Mu couldn't be able to reach the top.

Through the dialogue, he has come to understand that the top of the road [miracle] cannot be compared with the value of the road itself.

"Because it wasn't time, and because it wasn't my choice."

When Mu finished saying this, Xia Xiu felt a whirlwind.

When he opened his eyes again, he had already walked out of the Spiral Road, and where he was now was......

The Fourth Layer of the Unknown, Azluth.

Also known as the "approaching world", it is the highest spiritual level, the place closest to the Supreme Procedure and the essence of Eden.

In the world of [Azlut], the infinite splendor of the kingdom of heaven is not limited by any form or structure.

After arriving at the world of [Azlut], Xia Xiu naturally let go of his hand.

Then, after he saw Mu looking at him solemnly, he said something inexplicably.

"One in thirty-six."

"What?" Xia Xiu asked suspiciously.

"Eden and Yahweh are waiting for you."

Mu did not answer directly, but continued to maintain his Riddler attributes.
