Chapter 475 - 246: Level 10 Miracle: Eternal Life Ladder

Chapter 475: Chapter 246: Level 10 Miracle: Eternal Life Ladder

As Lu Cang touched the doors, lost in thought.

Suddenly, Light came up to him.

"Oh, I recognize the words on this, too."

"Light, you recognize Chaos Language, too?"

Lu Cang was slightly surprised. This was something he hadn’t learned during his previous Future Previews.

Chaos Language was a relatively obscure language.

Most people wouldn’t bother learning it.

In this world, unless you were a Scholar, your learning efficiency depended almost entirely on your Spirituality and the traits of your Profession.

For example, a Level 6 Warrior might spend over a year trying to learn a new language and still fail.

Light smiled. "Yeah, I’ve studied it a bit."

’This person before me is just a puppet.’

’Well, maybe it *is* his main body... His Talent, 「Divine Level·All Things Are Me」, must be what allows him to treat his puppets as himself.’

’It feels a bit like Leng Qingying’s Infinite Illusion.’

’But the focus of the two Talents is quite different.’

"This door... is it called the Gate of Eternal Life?"

Light stroked his chin, narrowing his eyes in thought.

He turned to Lu Cang. "What do you think?"

Lu Cang responded calmly, "Feels like a trap."

"Hmm... In that case, I’m going in."

Light suddenly spoke, and almost in perfect sync with his words, he pushed the door and disappeared inside.

The corner of Lu Cang’s mouth twitched.

’Hey?’

’He just went in like that?’

’Did you even consider that your teammate is still out here?’

’Am I supposed to go in with you?’

Lu Cang’s pupils contracted, and in that instant, he simulated the future that would follow.

’Good thing I haven’t used any of my four previews for the day. I saved them just in case something unexpected happened during this chaotic month that I didn’t have time to foresee.’

’Future Preview—this very moment.’

Lu Cang entered a state of preview.

He glanced left and right. Yelieya had a helpless expression, and Rhine was scratching his head.

"I’m going in with him, too."

Lu Cang said this and, as his voice faded, touched the door.

The moment he touched the door, he felt a faint connection. He passed through, and before him lay an incredibly long, golden staircase.

Looking behind him, there was only an empty sea of clouds.

And the door he had come through... was completely gone.

’It seems there’s no going back the way I came.’

’This wasn’t a good choice. It just teleports you to some random place.’

Lu Cang continued forward...

He stepped onto the staircase.

The moment he touched the stairs, Lu Cang perceived information related to them.

「Creator: Emperor Fu」

「Level 10 Grand Miracle: Eternal Life Ladder」

「Tread every step of this Eternal Life Ladder to attain true eternal life.」

’For real?’

’Wait... a Level 10 Grand Miracle?’

’Level 10? Does a level like that actually exist?’

’And it’s Emperor Fu again.’

Legend said the creator of the Battle Arena and the War God Tower was also him. And, in fact, it was.

Lu Cang had touched the Battle Arena and the War God Tower, and the information given by 「Divine Level Hidden Origin」 pointed to Emperor Fu as the Creator.

As for Emperor Fu’s location...

It seemed to be in a place called the Sea of Separation.

It was definitely very, very far from his current position.

’But... Level 10.’

The Battle Arena and the War God Tower were Level 8 Miracles.

The complete Battle Arena system, with all the world’s Battle Arenas combined to form a global arena where anyone could cross infinite Space to compete, was considered a Level 9 Miracle.

And this staircase before him.

’Level 10?’

Lu Cang found it incredible and continued up the stairs.

At the same time, Lu Cang’s Perception spread upward, and his gaze followed...

’I wonder where exactly this place is. And Light, who came in just now... why can’t I see any sign of him?’

After climbing a few hundred steps, Lu Cang stopped.

If he could obtain eternal life just by finishing the entire staircase, then it didn’t take a genius to figure out that the number of steps was definitely not something he could finish in a day.

It would take decades at the very least, millennia at most, and it might even be impossible to reach the end in a single lifetime.

’Rather than stubbornly pushing on like this, I’d be better off looking for other useful clues.’

’Besides, even if I really reached the end and gained eternal life, this is just one of my simulations. Attaining immortality in a simulation only to come back and find it was all a dream would be even more cruel.’

Lu Cang flew down from the stairs and landed on the layer of clouds.

The clouds were thick, with a substantial yet soft texture, like an extremely dense layer of cotton. Stepping on them, he didn’t sink in.

「Celestial Vault」

’The Celestial Vault?’

’The Celestial Realm... is actually a real place? And above the Celestial Realm, there’s a Vault?’

Lu Cang had heard that the sky was filled with stars, and if you kept flying higher and higher... you would eventually reach the Star Realm.

But there was another theory.

That there was also a Celestial Realm in the sky, inhabited by people of Light and the powerful Angel race. The residents of the Celestial Realm were Zuya’s favored children and would receive Zuya’s grace and protection there.

Most of these tales came from the mythology in the Light Scripture.

While studying the knowledge of various Sects, Lu Cang had also heard many rumors about the Celestial Realm.

It’s just that the Star Realm was in the sky, and the Celestial Realm was also in the sky.

’It always felt like those two things conflicted with each other.’

’But I never expected to actually verify the existence of the Celestial Realm today.’

Lu Cang extended his Perception downward.

Unfortunately, the cloud layer was simply too thick, far exceeding six hundred kilometers in depth.

Lu Cang couldn’t see what the Celestial Realm actually looked like.

’Well, I’ll just have to pass through this cloud layer, then.’

After a moment’s thought, Lu Cang took out his Void Spirit Star Ring Battle Spear.

’Sacrifice...’

Lu Cang glanced back at the staircase behind him.

「Azure Sky Stream—Sixth Form: Extreme Purification (Sacrifice Soul: 2 Trillion)」

Lu Cang fiercely thrust his War Spear at the staircase!

BAM!

In that instant, the entire Void Spirit Star Ring Battle Spear completely shattered!

A tremendous force erupted!

However, this strike, powerful enough to sink an entire continent... failed to even budge the translucent staircase when it truly hit!

Only Lu Cang’s War Spear had shattered!

And, the white Soul Light of Purification erupted outward with Lu Cang at its center—

The clouds were torn apart as the terrifying light of a Soul Burst exploded over the sea of clouds!

When the aftershocks of the Skill had subsided.

Lu Cang stood above the clouds.

And below him was an immeasurably vast cavity...

But what shocked Lu Cang wasn’t the terrifying Power of his own attack, but what happened after it erupted.

The cloud layer below was still a dense, cotton-like mass of clouds.

It was just a bit deeper than before.

’Just how deep is it?’

’This cloud layer.’

’Tens of thousands of kilometers, and it’s still clouds?’

Lu Cang looked in all directions. There was nothing here but a sea of clouds. If you took away the sea of clouds, the only thing left was the Eternal Life Ladder, its destination and total height a complete mystery.
