Chapter 57: The Gatekeeper's City

At 1:30 in the morning, Zhou Wangjing returned to his house.

"Are you ready?" said the person on the table: "You have the last chance to regret. I have to remind you that even if I have a unique ritual that allows you to steal into the temple, this does not mean that you will succeed... nor does it mean that the gods will not discover it."

"I don't mean anything disrespectful to the gatekeeper. I believe that divinity is above that can forgive this helpless act."

"It is originally a very lack of awe that the body of a mortal is a mortal, and it is even more ridiculous to speculate whether He will forgive you."

“·······”

When Zhou Wangjing heard the words of the person on the watch, he was a little nervous, and Bai Qi next to him was the same.

But he quickly became firm.

"No matter what, I'm ready, there's no reason to look back at this time."

The person on the table said nothing. After a moment of silence, a sudden change occurred in the house.

As some mysterious and difficult to understand accents emanate from the mouth of the table, fires snake on the metals, Mars scattered in the space around them, and mysterious engravings were carved on the walls and doors.

Zhou Wangjing was wrapped in fire, and the pain of being burned was short-lived.

He suddenly felt a little cold.

He began to gradually find out the surroundings, and the darkness drowned it, and the fire on his body began to become weak, and sparks appeared in the endless darkness, as if some ancient and mysterious language was whispering in his ears.

‘I heard the signal from the fire.’

‘At this moment, I am like a torch swaying in the wind.’

Zhou Wangjing walked towards Mars, and every step became colder, as if the fire on his body would be extinguished in the next moment.

‘Lost all the treasures.’

The memories of the past began to become clear. In the fire seven years ago, Shi Liang died.

‘Anger swallows oneself.’

Zhou Wangjing knelt down in the darkness, letting out a ferocious and angry roar and roar.

‘Hang in endless loneliness.’

Then he cried loudly, hugged his shoulders, feeling sad and cold.

‘I should get up.’

‘Or stop in the past?’

Zhou Wangjing lowered his head, and the whisper in his ear seemed to be controlling his actions, and also seemed to be guiding the test of him.

He could not get close to the fire, so he was not qualified to enter the temple.

He will be silent here forever.

And the whisper gradually turned into Spanish, and it seemed to be chanting some mysterious song.

‘They'veburnttoashes(Everything burned out)’

His body began to burn and he fell to the ground.

‘Fadedtogrey (turned to death)’

His body began to turn into ashes, and the moment he burned out in the darkness, his spirit would also dissipate in the cold.

‘Returned to theearth’

Everything will end.

"···No." Zhou Wangjing, who was lying in the dark, suddenly spoke. In the silence, his voice was so slight and clear.

In the darkness, he raised his head again and crawled towards the light and fire.

The fire in his mind was still burning, but he remembered the woman, the woman who had agreed to accompany her and move forward at any time.

I can't, and I can't let her see how I just fell down like this... That's really a shame.

“Yeait'smeanttobe (if the fate is destined)”

"Uncertainflame of hope Ifound.(That unrestrained fire of hope.)"

"Youwillleadtherighttrack!please.(Please take me... back on track!)"

He crawled forward ferociously, and at the same time he responded to the indescribable whisper in Spanish.

He finally touched the light and fire.

There seemed to be a huge figure in his pupils, slowly spreading his wings, and his vision was as bright as daylight.

Then he fainted and completely lost consciousness.

I don’t know how long it took, with the noise coming from his ears and the light that fell on the retina through his eyelids, he couldn’t help but want to cover his eyes, and then opened his eyes with difficulty.

He found himself lying on the ground.

He stood up in a daze, but the scene in front of him made him feel shocked and helpless.

He came to the Kingdom of God.

That's right, it means that the world Zhou Wangjing is in is no longer his small 20-square-meter room, but a golden city in the vast and boundless golden desert.

He looked around and walked forward blankly. The city in front of him was different from the modern city where he lived. The surrounding buildings were filled with an ancient and elegant atmosphere.

"Do you need something to do this guy... or lady? Information about the new oracle, the more famous light-trapping progress, and even the latest gossip about the Sun lady~ we have everything here." A voice suddenly came from the stall in front of us. Zhou Wangjing was startled and blinked his eyes and confirmed it several times before he noticed that there was a figure standing behind the stall in the market.

Zhou Wangjing, who was still in shock during the previous hardships, looked around in surprise and looked closely. He saw that there were such phantoms everywhere where he passed along the way. Some of them sat on their own and seemed to be asleep, while others were two people standing there as if they were communicating. Judging from their body shape, they were all humans.

Zhou Wangjing then remembered to look at himself, and then realized that he had actually become the same state... An abstract existence with only shapes but no certain real state.

There is no doubt that the supreme god allowed him to enter, and that he turned himself into a state similar to everyone.

‘It seems that my current state is consciousness, or the soul has entered the so-called temple, and my body should have fallen asleep in reality.’ Zhou Wangjing soon began to think, and he had not forgotten the serious matter yet.

'These phantoms except me should be believers in the gatekeeper sequence. So how should I find Captain Wright among them?' Zhou Wangjing felt a little trouble. He couldn't just catch one and ask, right? You should know that those who believe in the gatekeeper sequence should also be the gatekeeper sequence. If you ask a member of the Ethnic Affairs Committee, it would be a big disaster.

"Tsk... Is it the first time you entered the palace?" The phantom saw Zhou Wangjing hesitating, and seemed to have suddenly realized something and asked.

"Those who enter the temple?"

"No, no one told you anything before entering here?" The businessman's phantom touched his chin and said after a moment: "How about this, let's make a deal. I'm responsible for being your tour guide in this Golden City. Next, you will talk about everything you want to know, and you will talk about everything."

"What do I need to pay?" Zhou Wangjing thought for a while. Since the other party was the light-seeker of the gatekeeper sequence, he should also be a member of the foundation. He hoped that the other party could give a friendly internal price at the offer.

But this is a spiritual world. Judging from the things he sells, they are all things in intelligence, but I don’t have any information to exchange for him.

Hearing Zhou Wangjing's question, the phantom in front of him lowered his voice, making him look mysterious and seductive.

“It’s not something valuable.”

"When any businessman says such a thing, customers should beware of their wallets." Zhou Wangjing said: "I remember you just said the advancement of the Light-Trailer and the oracle. Let's start explaining it from here."

"You should always know the six-stage ladders of the gods and their rules, right?"

"have no idea···"

"···" Phantom couldn't help but cover his forehead, looking speechless. He left the stall to greet Zhou Wangjing. "Come with me, this is something that you have to see for yourself."

Zhou Wangjing followed the other party to a bell tower and went up the stairs of the bell tower. They soon reached the highest point of the city.

But it was only the highest point of this Golden City. From this bell tower that was hundreds of meters high, he truly saw the appearance of this Golden City.

Looking from the towering place, the textbooks seem to be in the markets, theaters, squares, residential areas, ports, warehouses, Roman times squares, large libraries, amphitheaters, etc. from the Old Century.

The most eye-catching thing is the huge temple standing in the center of the city in the distance, emitting sacred flames.

"That's the temple, with six floors in total. Its inner layer is much larger than what you look outside, and it has different characteristics and layouts. The purpose of each pilgrim coming here is to enter it. The first layer is ‘wood door’, the second layer is ‘carved stone door’, the third layer is bronze, the fourth layer is silver, and the fifth layer is gold."

"The name of each layer is the material of the door?"

"Well, because we are the gatekeeper sequence, each floor of each temple has different names, but they are all divided by such six layers." The merchant spread his hands and said, "Each floor symbolizes the power of the more powerful surreal power and the current sequence. For this kind of power, we keep moving up until the sixth floor of the face God's 'yard' on the top of the peak. But to be honest, there are only a handful of people who can enter the third or even fourth floors in various temples. Even if all temples are included, I have heard that some people in the gatekeeper sequence have reached the sixth floor... But since then, there has been no news."

"And oracles are tasks sent by the gods to us light-seekers. Such tasks will be sent on the large stone slab outside the temple for the believers to receive, or individually sent to each light-seeker. Each light-seeker who completes the task will receive the divine reward of the gods. Through these divine rewards, everyone can advance to a higher level."

Zhou Wangjing looked at the temple in front of him, and phantoms kept entering it. Just when he wanted to ask other questions, the tour guide rubbed his hands and said.
