Chapter 711 The Symbol of Endless Stairs (Two Updates!)

Chapter 711 The Symbol of Endless Stairs (Two Updates!)

After passing through the sacred gate like a huge portal, what appeared in front of Yi Qiu was an endless staircase stretching to the sky.

Yi Qiu tried to use his eyesight, but he couldn't see the end of the steps in a short time.

In front of the sacred gate is an unusually empty space, which is a huge oval platform.

There is some kind of lightning-like energy shining around the huge platform, which seems to be blocking some unpredictable chaotic forces.

There are still a certain number of people on the entire platform, and they seem to be talking.

But the strange thing is that even at such a close distance, Yi Qiu didn't hear what they were talking about.

"What do you see beyond the portal?"

The gatekeeper walked near Yi Qiu, and he asked curiously.

"I can see that this is your first time here..."

"Perhaps you have heard many rumors about the Supreme Temple, but you have to know that it is only an insignificant part of the endless mysteries of the Supreme Temple..."

The gatekeeper said quite proudly.

Although the duties of the gatekeeper are given, the status of the gatekeeper of the highest temple is not like the common understanding of the gatekeeper...

There are many doors in this world, big ones, small ones, delicate ones, crude ones, some made of wood, and some made of smelting gold and stone.

Watching them is the job of the gatekeeper.

Sometimes, the gatekeeper just needs to guard the intruders who try to push the door open.

And sometimes the gatekeeper needs to defend against more subtle, nihilistic concepts...

"People think that the Supreme Temple is just a building made of endless brilliant materials. It may be grand or sacred, but it will never exceed the original concept of the building..."

"Obviously, they were all wrong."

"The supreme temple has never been made of those stubborn substances. As a temple-like existence of the soul, its existence is a symbol of the supreme mystery of the soul..."

"It has no key, nor will there be a key."

"It is unique and infinite."

"And what you see is your supreme temple..."

The gatekeeper looked at Yi Qiu, and the starlight in his eyes suddenly became intense.

Yi Qiu didn't answer, because when his eyesight was almost pushed to the limit, he finally saw the thing on the endless steps:

That is, a temple located on a lone peak.

But this doesn't seem to be its only form, because in the next moment, it transformed into a huge palace with a huge portal.

Through the open gate of the palace, Yi Qiu can see the continuous bookshelves being placed in it.

Some scholars are reading among the bookshelves, their faces are full of intoxicated expressions...

"It cannot be peeped, it is unpredictable... the supreme temple is never limited to what you see..."

"Even if you have such powerful pupil power..."

The gatekeeper Zai Yiqiu's pupils burst out with unusually shining golden light because of pushing him to the limit.

He didn't know what power it was, but what he was sure of was:

That is definitely a very powerful ability, because even if it is just a momentary image stagnant in the timeline, not everyone can peek at it...

"I saw endless steps, what does this indicate?"

Yi Qiu looked away, and he looked at the gatekeeper next to him.

Yi Qiu didn't feel any malice from him, after all, based on what he perceived so far, the other party hadn't reached the legendary level.

"Endless steps..."

After hearing Yi Qiu's description, the gatekeeper's expression became a little subtle.

But it didn't look so serious, on the contrary, it looked like a husky who heard the master go out...

There was a mysterious look on the gatekeeper's face, and he said to Yi Qiu:

"That's really... so ordinary!"

Unfortunately for the gatekeeper, he didn't see any disappointment on Yi Qiu's face.

This makes him feel a little boring:

"I knew monks were humorless guys, but some of you are pretty funny."

"I remember that more than three hundred years ago, a monk gave me a pink book."

"I like that little gift very much, but unfortunately he died a hundred years ago..."

The gatekeeper shook his head. The long lifespan compared to ordinary things was also one of the feedbacks given by the gatekeeper.

Of course, even without the feedback of this sacred duty, his semi-elemental life form can give him a natural lifespan of nearly a thousand years.

If he can completely transform into elemental form, it will be even longer.

Living forever in the multiverse is actually not that difficult.

But sometimes, not everyone is willing to face that long life...

Especially for short-lived species, sometimes, a long life is also a kind of endless torture.

Yi Qiu looked at him, the gatekeeper was obviously too boring, and his long career as a gatekeeper made him urgently need some fresh stimulation.

Perhaps in a sense, his current form is also the reason why Yi Qiu gave up the power that possessed the ability to create the world when he was tossing in ancient times.

He can be a protector, but he won't be the only one.

"How long are you going to stay here?"

Yi Qiu said to the gatekeeper.

"How long? Maybe one epoch left?"

"I can't remember clearly, maybe after one era, there will be another era..."

"I've been here for too long, I think even after another era, maybe I'll stay here..."

The gatekeeper shook his head, he seemed to prefer talking to Yi Qiu.

After all, Yi Qiu is one of the rare creatures he has ever seen, and he likes this kind of life form that transcends the ordinary.

It's a pity that such an existence was not very common in the days when he was guarding the portal.

"Then good luck to you..."

Yi Qiu nodded to him, then walked towards the endless steps.

Although the gatekeeper didn't say anything practical, Yi Qiu knew that he needed to walk up the endless steps to find what he needed.

However, it is quite strange that Zongwang did not give too many reminders.

Yi Qiu looked through the previous records, and only saw the message that the last refreshed transmission was successful.

As for the follow-up, it never appeared again.

Seeing Yi Qiu leaving, the gatekeeper shrugged and said in a low voice:

"Good luck to you too...young godslayer..."

"In the spiritual world, it is not uncommon for people who desire to kill gods..."

"But how far can you really go?"

"I am looking forward……"

"That way, I'll have a new story..."

The gatekeeper shook his head, thinking it was funny.

Because he actually saw some power that made him throb in the figure walking towards the endless steps...
