Chapter 862 Humanity's Most Primitive Fear

Watch your step—

Zhang Qiling, who was walking at the front, gave a clear, ethereal reminder.

The group used powerful flashlights to illuminate the path ahead and discovered that the dark passage had an extremely steep slope, extending entirely downwards.

As the steps slop downwards, the angle becomes so steep it's unsettling. When a powerful flashlight is shone down, the top is nowhere in sight; it seems like a bottomless abyss, deep and dark.

"At this depth, plus the depth of the underground palace... we've descended to the very depths of Changbai Mountain..."

As a top student in the architecture department, he was rapidly calculating in his mind while complaining in a flustered and trembling manner.

"I feel like we're heading towards the Earth's core. Don't you guys feel it getting warmer and warmer?" Wang Yue said jokingly as she unzipped her down jacket and loosened the straps around her neck.

"Stop talking nonsense, the Earth's core... We're probably close to a volcanic area. There might be lava below, so be careful not to fall in. If you fall in, you'll be gone forever." Wang Kaixuan said, laughing and cursing as he shared his guess.

Well, these two, uncle and nephew, are both typical jinxes; not a single word they say is pleasing to the ear.

So no one paid any attention to their nonsense. After realizing they had made a fool of themselves, the two chuckled awkwardly and stopped talking, obediently and carefully descending the steep slope.

After walking for almost two hours, we finally reached the end and felt a warm breeze blowing.

"Wow, that feels so good—"

"It's finally over..."

Feeling refreshed by the warm breeze, everyone quickened their pace and rushed out of the dark passage, shining their powerful flashlights around.

They soon discovered that they were on an artificial walkway jutting out from a cliff, with the floor suspended above the cliff by pillars, and they could hear it creaking as they stepped on it.

"Holy crap, could the wooden planks be worn out...?" Wang Yueban and Wang Kaixuan were immediately terrified and leaned against the wall, walking nervously into the dark passage, worried that the floor couldn't support the weight of so many people.

Gao Dongxu shone a powerful flashlight into the distance and at the bottom of the cliff, but it couldn't penetrate the darkness at all. Without hesitation, he took out two flare guns from his spatial storage.

"Bang bang—" Two shots.

Two flares drew perfect parabolas in the sky, like two small suns, dispelling all the darkness and illuminating the entire space.

Only then did everyone realize that they were in a huge mountain crevice, and more than 200 meters away was the cliff face on the other side of the crevice.

Wow, that's really spectacular!

"Look down there, lots of chains—"

As Wang Yueban sighed, Wu Xie pointed to the rift valley, where countless chains, as thick as bowls, crisscrossed and connected the two cliffs.

"Cold fireworks—" Gao Dongxu took out hundreds of cold fireworks from his spatial storage and gestured for everyone to light them and throw them down.

Mystery, darkness, and immense size represent humanity's most primal fear of deep space.

As long as light dispels darkness, and mystery is eliminated, human fear will be minimized.

Hundreds of cold fireworks were lit and thrown into the deep, dark bottom of the cliff, dispelling the darkness.

"Prepare for descent—"

The group immediately took out climbing ropes and began hammering and setting up the ropes on the cliff face. After securing the ropes, they pulled themselves down one by one, stepping on the cliff face.

"What are those things hanging on the chains? They look like hanged ghosts..."

Wu Xie noticed something hanging on the chain not far away and asked curiously.

“The owl’s food reserves—” Zhang Qiling said calmly.

"Fuck——"

Looking at the countless corpses hanging there, Wang Yueban grumbled, "So they like to eat dried, cured meat..."

"The main thing is that it's interesting to read..." Wang Kaixuan said, playing the straight man for his nephew.

"Pfft-"

"Giggle..."

The initially eerie atmosphere was disrupted by the uncle and nephew's interruption, and one of the women finally broke down and laughed, leading the others to join in.

The ropes weren't long enough, but fortunately the chains were very dense, making climbing very easy. With Zhang Qiling's reminders and demonstrations, everyone quickly mastered the tricks of using the chains.

Go Dong-wook even carried the slightly weaker Bai Qiangwei and the non-combat-type housewife nanny Cha Yu-ri in his arms, and like Spider-Man, he jumped around on the chains with lightness and agility.

Hearing the two girls' excited screams, the other girls watched with great envy.

As for Wang Yueban, Wu Xie, Hu Bayi, and Wang Kaixuan, their faces were filled with admiration and envy. Gao Dongxu descended the chains to the bottom of the mountain in less than an hour. The others would need at least another hour to get down.

The entire bottom of the mountain was covered with extremely uneven black volcanic rocks and bones that had fallen from above. Layer upon layer of bones and black excrement covered almost all the rocks. On the cliff face on one side of the rift valley, there was a giant bronze door on two sides.

"Oh mo oh mo—"

"Oh my..."

At this moment, Bai Qiangwei and Che Youli were completely shocked beyond words. Their small hands tightly gripped Gao Dongxu's fur coat, their beautiful eyes wide and round, their mouths agape, repeatedly exclaiming "Oh my god!"

Although I was mentally prepared and had seen the enormous size of bronze doors in movies and TV shows, I was still deeply shocked when I actually stood in front of this giant bronze door.

It's really hard to describe the magnificence of the bronze gate in words. Can you imagine a gate that's ten stories high? And it's cast entirely from bronze?

Breathtaking!

As Gao Dongxu looked up at the giant bronze gate, the image of the bronze divine tree popped into his mind.

I wonder if the Bronze Tree is also so magnificent...

"This is something no human could create; it's a miracle..." White Rose murmured, her beautiful eyes glistening with tears, her voice trembling.

Unlike Bai Qiangwei, Cha Yuri, after being shocked, hugged Go Dong-wook tightly, nestled in his arms, her face full of fear, her delicate body trembling.

"Master, my master... I'm scared..."

Go Dong-wook frowned slightly, reached out and covered the cold, pretty face of the evil dragon Cha Yu-ri, blocking her gaze from being drawn away from the bronze door, and pulled her pretty face into his arms.

Just then, a series of "Holy crap!" sounds came from behind. Go Dong-wook, holding the trembling Cha Yoo-ri in his arms, turned to Goo Yeon and Lee Ji-young and said, "Goo Yeon, Ji-young, don't look at the bronze door—"

"Yes—" X2
Upon hearing the order, the two women immediately snapped out of their shock and hurriedly lowered their heads and closed their eyes.

Go Dong-wook then put his arm around Cha Yu-ri and quickly walked to the two women's side, shielding them behind him.

The crowd looked at Gao Dongxu with some curiosity, wondering why he had stopped the two women from looking at the bronze door.

"Boss, is there a problem with this door?" Wang Yueban asked curiously.

"What do you think?" Gao Dongxu retorted irritably.

"Hehe, there's definitely a problem, a huge problem. How could the ancients have built such a massive bronze gate? Where did all that bronze come from... And who could possibly push such a huge gate open?" Wang Yueban immediately chuckled and complained.

“Qinling Mountains—” Wu Xie, who was looking up and being awestruck by the bronze gate, spoke up.

"Holy crap, could this be a product of the same era?" Upon hearing this, Wang Yueban also thought of the bronze divine tree buried deep at the bottom of the mountain. These giant bronze wonders, which cannot be built by human hands, can be called wonders if there are several, or even a large one.
"It's very possible that other giant mountain ranges, such as the Kunlun Mountains and the Himalayas, might also contain something like this?" Wu Xie's imagination ran wild, and his expression kept changing, showing a mix of fascination, worship, loss, and despair.

"Slap him, quick—" Gao Dongxu immediately kicked Wang Yueban and ordered.

Wang Yueban was stunned at first, then saw that Wu Xie had started to open his eyes and shed tears, his face full of despair. He immediately changed his expression, went up and slapped Wu Xie across the face.

"Snapped--"

"Ah—fatty, why did you hit me?!" Wu Xie, covering his face and shaking his head in pain, shouted angrily at Wang Yueban.

"You were fucking obsessed just now. If it weren't for this slap, you would have been dumbfounded—" Wang Yueban explained guiltily.

"Damn, you didn't have to be so ruthless. My ears are ringing..." Wu Xie complained with a wry smile.

"How can you control your strength in something like this? What if you go too lightly and startle you? What were you thinking about just now? Were you delirious?" Wang Yueban hurriedly stepped forward and asked with a shameless concern.

The others were also drawn to the two, and stopped looking at the massive bronze gate.

Wu Xie covered his burning cheek with a wry smile and looked at everyone, saying, "I was wondering, who could have cast such a giant gate here? The Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish says that the King of Ten Thousand Slaves crawled out of the giant gate from underground, but how did he get out? Is he really a god, possessing the power to move 10,000 tons?"

Then I thought of the Qinling Mountains...

When the Qinling Mountains were mentioned, Wu Xie glanced at Gao Dongxu and skipped over it, continuing, "Then, I started to let my imagination run wild. I felt like I was getting closer to a huge ancient mystery."

Then a profound sense of insignificance and inferiority arose within me. Compared to the ancient mystery of these miracles, we were utterly insignificant, and even the hope of knowing the truth seemed nonexistent... And then, you slapped me, leaving me stunned."

Instead of laughing at Wu Xie, everyone began to ponder what he had said. In particular, the well-informed Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan, and Yang Xueli felt that what they had experienced before was perhaps only comparable to this bronze giant door and the secrets behind it, except for the mysterious and unknown imaginary space and the snake god.

For them, the world has dug another huge pit for the three of them, one from which the answers are difficult to find.

"Alright, I brought you down here just to show you this giant bronze door. I didn't intend for you to find out how it was made, who made it, what it was used for, or what's behind it..."

I just want to use this bronze door to tell you that this world is far more mysterious and unpredictable than you can see, hear, or imagine.

Don't get bogged down in details, and don't be too curious. Let's go. Now comes the important thing we need to do: open the coffin—" Gao Dongxu turned and pointed to a huge platform in the distance.
