Extraordinary pedigree

At the beginning and end of the spiral road, two huge portals stand quietly. They exist at the highest point and the deepest bottom of the space, as if guarding the mysterious entrance to the unknown world.

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

These rays of light intertwined and entwined in the air. They seemed to have their own will and life, entangled and rotating with each other, eventually forming huge circular halos.

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

The roaring sound emitted by these haloes is not the vibration of sound, but an oscillation of light. They echo in the air, creating a solemn and sacred atmosphere.

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

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

"Twin doors..."

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

What's behind the door?

He couldn't see clearly.

Today's promotion ceremony was full of bizarre and unclear situations.

Eden seemed to want to communicate openly and honestly with him, but seemed to be thinking about something, so he used the Riddler method to indirectly tell him some information that could be revealed at this stage.

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

Xia Xiu stepped on the pure white sacred steps with his feet. He was sure that his promotion process was definitely different from other people's promotion process.

What he is thinking about now is how to get out of here.

This road is obviously weird.

Xia Xiu has seen [Miracle], and he currently holds a quarter of the Miracle fragments of [The Bull of Heaven] in his body.

But the road under my feet didn't have any fluctuations about [miracles].

What he is thinking now is whether he should take out the "Lever of Heaven" and try to fight head-on.

He sat down directly on the steps and began to think about countermeasures.

Just when the fourth sword holder of the Kingdom of Heaven was standing on the spiral road, immersed in thoughts about leaving, a strange change suddenly occurred in the sky.

Click——

A gap opened in the sky, as if the boundary between reality and surreality had been torn open.

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

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

This sea of ​​glass appears in the sky, like a wonder hanging in the sky, which is amazing.

The sea of ​​glass in the sky is mixed with fire, and the light has a hot and vivid flame color, which is both sacred and full of power.

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

Above this sea of ​​glass, an old man in white robes was walking.

His right hand holds an exquisite cane, and each index finger of his hands wears a ring, each ring shining with mysterious luster.

The old man walked steadily and looked around. His eyes penetrated the sky and clouds, and finally landed on the fourth sword holder of the Kingdom of Heaven on the spiral road.

"I saw what seemed like a sea of ​​glass mingled with fire, and he who conquered, who had overcome the beast, and his image and the number of his name, standing on a sea of ​​glass—"

At this moment, Xia Xiu finally understood how the third sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven got the title "Incandescent Sun".

His eyes fell on the "Sea of ​​Glass" involuntarily.

That is [Miracle], its existence is equivalent to a small [Ether Ocean].

At this moment, Mu also discovered the fourth sword holder of the Kingdom of Heaven. He looked at the blond young man standing on the stairs with complicated eyes, and slowly walked towards him.

When Mu stood in front of the blond young man, the other party shrugged and joked:

"From the look on your face, it seems like my timing here was wrong."

"It's indeed wrong. This process was a little unexpected..."

The old man with gray hair and childish face took over the topic like a kind elder, but when faced with Xia Xiu's seemingly joking but actually probing question, he paused.

"Fifty years of backward investigation... It turns out that this is the backward investigation method."

"It seems that what Eden did surprised you. Is this a surprise for us sword holders?"

Xia Xiu stood up slowly and stood beside Mu.

"Maybe, I'm older and can't stand surprises."

While Mu was speaking, 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 and held the cane.

"So, you are my fellow countryman?"

"It's really direct. I thought you would test it cautiously."

Mu watched Xia Xiu hold the cane and start walking forward.

He walked in front, and Xia Xiu followed behind.

"The answer to this question will disappoint you, but I hope you understand one thing. We are colleagues." Mu from the front replied slowly.

"Yes, we are colleagues, I never question this." Xia Xiu, who was at the back end, did not question this answer either.

"You don't need to think too much, I am not your future, and you are not my past now."

"Then what do I mean to the Kingdom of Heaven?" Xia Xiu then asked.

"You are very confident and rarely seem confused. Can I ask why?"

Mu in front smiled.

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

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. The adults I saw always cursed each other with the most vulgar genitals in a place where others could not see.

So far, I have not found any more vicious curse words than theirs. Their words are simply a breakdown of the language system. Thanks to them, the most vulgar language I have heard since I grew up is compared to theirs. It was as weak as a marshmallow, so that I rarely became overly aggressive with words later.

In the past, my "companions" followed their instructions and found their parents. I was the smartest and most fearless among them.

I never questioned that, in fact I was, so I was the rebel and they were the compliant.

But kids will always be kids, and adults will always be adults, and they will always impose fear, even stupidity.

In the beginning, you ran wantonly in the darkness. With the sound of the piano, you ran faster and faster, and the scenery around you began to grow slowly. You experienced the separation of life and death. At the last moment, you slowed down and stopped in the darkness. At the end of the journey, you saw that beam of light, but you were pushed off the cliff again, and the scenery began to slowly change back to what it was before... back to the place where you couldn't see your fingers, back to the darkness, and you could only curl up and slow down. Slowly falling asleep.

So you understand that you have to hibernate first, you have to obey first, and listen to their stupid words that make people want to vomit.

They teach their children to disguise themselves, hide their desires and ambitions, and decorate themselves into people who are generally recognized by social values. Therefore, it becomes the original sin to frankly reveal their inner desires and ambitions. We see in them I am brave and forthright that I don't have.

It is precisely because of them that my companions and those children look so ugly and hypocritical. Only I know how ugly the longing that has been suppressed is in my heart.

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

Therefore, I want to tear away their hypocrisy and prove that they are nothing more than that.

But they always hide in the dark, firmly believing in the laws of this society, scorning those who violate the laws, labeling others as arrogant, indifferent, selfish and ruthless, as if they can logically stand on the moral ground. Going up to the commanding heights to judge others and watching others' outcomes with cold eyes, thinking that they represent justice, is actually a long-planned murder.

Their hollowness makes me feel sick, and I don't want to be like them.

Whenever I wake up suddenly at night, I return to reality.

I can always see those faces that are as if a shutter has been pressed suddenly, 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 an opportunity and ran out.

When I woke up again, what appeared before my eyes was infinite freedom. At that time, I understood that if there really was destiny in the world, I would only smile at the impermanence of destiny.

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

I want to dance in the wind, dance at the place where the sun rises, dance at the place where the sun sets, face the wind, bathe in the light, and be a dreamy shadow on the top of the mountain.

I will not give up the world to those I despise. "

Xia Xiu finished speaking with a smile, that smile was as cheerful as ever.

After Mu listened silently, he asked: "What happened to those people in the end?"

"They will live in shackles for the rest of their lives - all those who can wear shackles will already have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives."

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

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

"Ask, but I can't answer some questions directly." Mu nodded.

"What is that thing under my feet?" Xia Xiu asked bluntly.

"[Spiral Road]." Mu also replied concisely.

"what's it for?"

“It is the paintbrush—by which the Kingdom of Heaven was founded and by which it exists.”

"Where's the door on the road?"

"That's a waste."

"Waste manuscript?" Xia Xiu said to himself doubtfully.

There is a huge difference between a door and a scrap manuscript.

"Yes, it's a waste manuscript." 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 is the reflection of the world, maybe it is a road to hell paved with ideals..." Mu's answer this time was a little unclear, as if he was deliberately avoiding the existence of the twin doors.

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

So, he chose to bypass this problem and continue to use this opportunity to get information.

"How many people in heaven know about the existence of [Spiral Road]?"

"Only a few people at the top know about it, and very few people know about it at the resolution meeting. At least 0-13 definitely don't know about it."

"0-13 really cut off one-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."

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

"That is the [Holy Casting] of the Kingdom of Heaven. Generally, angels who graduate from the two academies will complete nineteen angel implant transformations. And when they are promoted to high-level angels, that is, [Senate Angels], they will be led by twenty-four throne generals." The number of operations has been increased to twenty-four. Normally, this kind of promotion can be completed directly in the [Holy Ark]. But you..., something unexpected happened, and you entered the [Spiral Road]."

Having said this, Mu couldn't help but look back at Xia Xiu's second heart on the right side and the modifications to other parts.

"You are special. You can selectively modify those twenty-four surgeries - after all, the value of your second heart alone is already higher than the other twenty-four routine surgeries combined."

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

"They can also act as ether templates, and the computing resources of your [Torino I] come from them."

Xia Xiu nodded clearly, and then continued to ask:

"Why can't I reach the top of this road? But you can lead me along?"

“…, because it’s not yet time, there are only two people in the entire kingdom of heaven who are qualified to walk on this road.

As for climbing to the top, so far, no one has. "

"Why?"

Xia Xiu doesn't think Mu can't reach the top. If the top of the road is just a [miracle], then it's impossible for Mu to not reach the top.

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

"Because it's not time yet, and because that's not my choice."

When Mu finished speaking, Xia Xiu felt dizzy.

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

The fourth floor of the unknown land, Azlut.

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

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

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

Then, he saw Mu looking at him seriously and then said something inexplicably.

"One in thirty-six."

"What?" Xia Xiu asked in confusion.

"Eden and [Yahweh] are waiting for you."

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