I can return to the age of mysterious
Chapter 1111 - 1111 562 Qi Gate Open (4000)

Chapter 1111: 562 Qi Gate, Open! (4000) Chapter 1111: 562 Qi Gate, Open! (4000) “Flesh and body, Soul Beam, supreme spirit…”

Mysterious hymns, ancient chants, unknown ballads. They echoed and spread rapidly through the cloud layer at the same time the grand door appeared. In Florence, in Fal County, and even in the north of the Hong Li Empire, that hazy and indistinct singing floated through the air.

Even after a few breaths, the Hong Li Empire, North Reef Continent, the entire world was sprinkled with faint sacred hymns from the clouds.

In Florence, up in the sky, dense clouds rapidly gathered.

They swirled uncontrollably, as if magnetized by a massive magnet, gradually forming a giant rust-colored hollow cloud ring. In its center, a beam of white light slowly solidified.

A colossal arch-shaped ethereal portal appeared out of nowhere, quietly floating at the top of the light column formed by the ancient altar, as if being held aloft.

On the surface of the white stone arch, mountains and rivers, sun and moon, flowers and birds, insects and fish—all were etched upon it. Tiny texts and symbols wriggled and flowed like golden tadpoles. Moreover, large patches of dense patterns, similar to religious styles, covered the surface. These pictographic patterns resembled water ripples, wings and feathers, animal scales, flowing clouds, the vicissitude of wind and rain. A multitude of messages, countless existences, were all condensed within it.

It was as if it were a miniature world, the place of origin.

All-encompassing, infinitely complex.

Sacred, majestic, solemn, secretive.

On the ground, members of the Magical Golem Sect looked up. They had seen this door before, not long ago. The Sect Master, during his seclusion breakthrough, had streaked across the staircase of light, ultimately entering through this door.

When the Sect Master emerged, he had achieved Tyrant Fist!

Ding ding ding ding ding…

In the midst of the almost imperceptible hymns, a sound resembling metal joining together suddenly rang out. Within the cloud ring, upon the light column, the ethereal arch’s surface had a section glow with a brilliant platinum contour suddenly light up.

Then came the second piece, the third piece, the fourth piece…

These were the fragments, Door Fragments, the Door Organization’s robust accumulation over hundreds of years. Generation after generation of vice leaders worked diligently for this very day!

Taking advantage of the broad-spectrum Catastrophe Tidal effect on both realms, merely using the ancient altar and the Origin Stone Tablet to lock onto the ethereal portal was not enough! Most importantly was to turn illusion into reality, assembling the fragments into the complete Heaven’s Gate. That way, once it was opened, it would truly lead to the source of the world, the pinnacle of mystery.

Bidirectional traversal, and only then could Fal County’s body be freed from the seal!

Otherwise, it was no more than a flower in the mirror, moon in the water, shattering upon touch.

The Door Organization spent aeons collecting Door Fragments.

All for the day when they could assemble the true panels of Heaven’s Gate. It didn’t need to be completely assembled; two-thirds would suffice! As long as the amount of Door Fragments could cover two-thirds of the area, the remaining fragments would be summoned in the resonance, automatically gathering.

Combining into one true Heaven’s Gate!

“Flesh and body, Soul Beam, supreme spirit…”

The ancient and mysterious singing grew louder and clearer. The glowing contours on the ethereal archway increased, and eventually, they exceeded two-thirds. With a hum, the world itself seemed to tremble.

Streams of illusory light gathered like swallows returning to their nest.

Ding! The complete and true Heaven’s Gate was formed!

“The Darkening of the Sacred Heart… The Darkening of the Sacred Heart…”

The hymn stopped, replaced by a deep murmuring. The murmurs overlapped, indistinguishable in age or gender, resembling the voices of countless people merging into one.

At some point, amidst the Catastrophe’s black mire, amid the sweeping beast tide, a silhouette enveloped in a black cloak slowly hovered, absorbing all the surrounding light.

He was like a human-shaped Black Hole, extinguishing all aura and presence around him. A giant dark creature that just happened to rush by from the side was warped and pulled into his control, collapsing, compressing, and swirling into the man’s cloak. It looked effortlessly absorbed.

The surrounding dense swarm of dark creatures still streaked along the same trajectory, seemingly oblivious to the man in black, the entire flock silently and peacefully vanished into nothingness.

In mid-air, the man in black raised his hand, pulling down his cloak’s hood.

He revealed a bizarre face.

The features were ordinary, but the skin color was like metal, pale gold. His neck, face, and ears were covered with a series of densely packed thorny patterns, with sharp spikes tightly coiled around them.

It wasn’t clear if this was a manifestation of the man in black’s power.

Or the physicalization of the Southern Dipper’s seal.

The man in black, that was Fal County. At the center of his face, a fine crack ran down from his forehead, past the bridge of his nose, ending at his throat. It looked as though his face was split in two.

But now it was barely held together, forming a complete body.

“It has begun…”

Fal County did not move his mouth, but a layered voice echoed around him, as if he was speaking with his mind.

Whoosh!

He vanished from the spot as if teleporting, not even leaving an afterimage.
