"Because there is no deploynt."
Ji Jue said, "You stay."
"Huh?"
Yu Shu was stunned.
"You, stay."
Ji Jue repeated, telling him, "You must stay, Yu Shu."
Saying this, he handed the box in his hand over to him.
"You have only one task, just take care of it, don't open it, and don't be nervous, just pretend you're keeping it for for a while."
Other than Wen Wen and Yu Shu, he couldn't trust anyone else with what was in the box.
In fact, even Yu Shu.
But what he believed in wasn't just Yu Shu, it was also the Great Elder who raised him.
Moreover, Wen Wen was not soone who could patiently follow orders.
This item was truly too important.
He finally patted Yu Shu on the shoulder, leaned down, and whispered in his ear, "If I fail, then run. Preserving hope is not shaful."
Yu Shu, dazed, looked over, stunned.
After a long ti, he finally reacted.
"Mr. Ji!"
Ji Jue turned back to look, seeing his eyes so clear through the blurry mask.
"I... I won't run."
He took a deep breath, restraining his tension and unease: "I'll be right here, waiting for everyone to co back."
And so, Ji Jue smiled.
He waved goodbye.
Just like that, he pushed open the final big door.
Outside the door, steel demons stood densely like a forest, silently towering, like statues, extending quietly to the end of the steel hell.
Yet those scarlet eyes seed to be drawn by a black hole, landing on Ji Jue, following his movents, quietly waiting.
Ji Jue stepped aside, looking at Old Deng behind him.
A gesture of invitation.
What are you waiting for, stop ssing around, it's ti for you to show your stuff, Old Deng!
"..."
Qi Tan Old Deng let out a light sigh. Anything remotely useful, once in this dog's hands, would likely be used up completely.
Using it all up might be forgivable, but this dog, after enjoying the benefits, wouldn't even acknowledge people, and can't even handle the phrase about Nirvana.
Oh well, two grasshoppers on the sa string.
Both as Moisture, let's help each other out.
In the silence, he dragged his old limbs forward slowly, moving to the very center of the square, raising his head, looking at the clouds above, then around him.
"Step back a bit." he said.
The orderly sound of steel scraping burst forth, in an instant, the demons around retreated by a hundred ters.
"Not enough, retreat again."
Thus, they retreated another hundred ters.
"Not enough, keep retreating—"
Low footsteps like thunder, resounding endlessly.
In less than a minute, the entire central square of the Border Prison had already revealed a blank source with a radius of two kiloters.
"Barely enough, everyone be careful."
Old Deng shrugged, pulling out a small cloth bag from his pocket, opening it revealed another cloth bag, opening that revealed yet another cloth bag.
After the last cloth bag was unpacked, a bean-sized object was finally exposed, drawn out.
Freed from dozens of layers of sealing, that tiny bean emitted waves of splendid brilliance, dreamlike and unreal.
As his palm overturned, silently falling into the earth.
Crash—
A crisp sound, sinking into the steel, disappearing, leaving only imperceptible ripples spreading out.
"Young man! I use these beans to trade for your cow, how about it?"
The old man chuckled wickedly, reciting words from within the Qi Tan, awakening that final power: "These are magical beans, they can grow as high as the sky overnight!"
In an instant, a shattering sound rang out.
Steel wailing.
The entire Border Prison abruptly shook violently.
The sky crumbling is still far off, but the ground cracking was already at hand, suddenly a crack appeared on the earth, within it, a winding vine rushed out as if on fire, soaring upward, endlessly ascending.
In a flicker, it crossed hundreds of ters distance.
And as the vine sprouted, its roots beca sturdier, gradually gleaming with tallic stone-like luster, expanding quickly, expanding, expanding further.
Steel buckled, ground shattered, thick roots pierced through the steel, weaving among the rocks, in an instant encompassing the entire surface of the Border Prison.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!!!
In the howling gale, the vine racing to the sky expanded once more, stone hues faintly erged from the cracks, finally hitting an invisible barrier, but then, even that barrier shattered.
Climbing further, further, further!
Resembling the world's creation manifest, an endless Heavenly Pillar pierced the sky, drilling through all obstructions and supposed rules and constraints in its path!
Upwards!!!
The Heavenly Eye Hall's alarms blared instantly, countless angels diving down, but it was too late.
No matter lightning or bombardnt, the vine's growth was unshakable, any breakage led to vigorous rebirth, faster and more fiercely shooting upwards.
Sky City shook violently, under the Pope's forceful impetus, began moving.
Yet too late.
The vine, like a nail, drove into Sky City's bottom, then piercing through the rocks and Divine Power, breaking through the top layer, extending ever upwards.
Finally, when it seed its potential was exhausted,
Rapidly declined, withered, scattered in the wind...
But when the vine wilted and dissipated, what was left behind was no longer the vibrant form, but a tower rising from the depths of the Border Prison to the sky, straight through Sky City!
"People of the earthly nations said, why don't we test the limits of the sky, thus, under the gods' wrath, the Tower of Babel was created."
At this mont, gazing at the towering form of his work, Old Deng grinned, bowing slightly, offering the final performance to the audience.
Now, those on earth could finally tread upon the realm of the gods.
No longer fearing the so-called majesty and wrath.
"Let's go, everyone, let's go."
Before countless steel demons, Ji Jue took the first step, spreading his arms, telling everyone: "Here on out, there's no turning back, neither Border Prison nor Paradise will shelter you, the real battlefield lies ahead, all the revenge and grievances you seek shall be satisfied and avenged.
The ti I promised you has arrived!"
"Now, with Hell and Heaven's gates opened, there's no need to hesitate, let so-called Sky City and Divine Country burn together!"
Ji Jue turned back, looked behind, raised his right hand, clenching it into a fist.
Telling them all:
"Today, we will battle the gods, unyielding until death!"
"Unyielding until death!"
"Unyielding until death!!"
"Unyielding until death!!!"
Thus, the horde roared, the Border Prison wailed.
They sang loudly, chanting Hell's song, shouting the sa slogan.
Iron glow and flas fused in the darkness, boiling, surging, setting foot on the path of no return.
From Hell, to Heaven!
