"Thump~"
A bell rang.
Everyone was taken aback and turned their gaze to the palace atop the mountain.
The girl in blue walked at the very front.
Ye Li and Xia Mu followed behind like two loyal guards, one on the left and one on the right.
"Ye Li!"
"Brother Ye!"
"Boss!"
"......"
On the mountaintop plain, a group of people inexplicably cheered.
The girl in blue turned around, facing the group who had ascended the palace, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, you have qualified as candidates for the gods!"
The group exchanged bewildered glances: "The qualifications of a candidate for godhood?"
The girl in blue explained, "These 999 steps are also known as the Ascension Platform to Godhood. Those who can persevere to the end will qualify as candidates for godhood. In other words, you all have the potential to become true gods in the future."
Ye Li couldn't help but ask, "Aside from a bit of pressure, it doesn't seem that difficult. Is becoming a god really that simple?"
The threshold for becoming a god is far too cheap, isn't it?
The girl in blue smiled slightly and said, "The laws of the gods are fair. Whether you are human, bird, or beast, powerful or not, as long as you can climb these 999 steps, you can have the opportunity to become a god. Of course, it is only an opportunity. Whether you can become a true god depends on your strength and opportunities."
"I must remind you all again that the strength of gods is also divided into different levels, including great gods, lesser gods, upper gods, middle gods, and lower gods, as well as divine generals and divine soldiers. According to your strength, after becoming gods, you will be great gods, while those who are still climbing up the ranks may just be divine soldiers..."
"To put it more simply, don't you also have the concept of heavenly soldiers and generals on Earth?"
The group nodded and said, "Understood!"
"Go down! Teleport at nine o'clock sharp tomorrow morning. Good luck!"
After the girl in blue finished speaking, she waved her hand.
The five people were enveloped in a blue light and flew directly down from in front of the palace.
At the same time, the survivors who were climbing the stairs were also enveloped in a blue light and sent down.
All the steps disappeared in an instant.
"Survivors, congratulations on reaching the top! Today, you can indulge yourself and enjoy this rare moment of victory."
"I will teleport you all to the Void Land at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
“There, you will face new challenges and opportunities.”
"I hope you will all continue to maintain your courage and perseverance, and keep up the good work!"
The girl in blue's voice echoed across the plain at the mountaintop, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
The voices of everyone else vanished without a trace in an instant.
As if frozen in place, they could only stare wide-eyed at the palace above.
"Thump!"
Suddenly, a clear and melodious bell rang out, echoing across the silent mountaintop.
A blue light shone down from the sky.
It was as if the entire sky had collapsed.
The blue light was so dazzling and eye-catching that it was impossible to look directly at it.
Immediately afterwards, the blue light, like a surging ocean, swept over all the survivors with overwhelming force.
In an instant, everything before everyone's eyes became a blur, as if the entire world had been turned upside down at that moment.
My body felt as if it had been swept away, and I began to drift with the current.
Suddenly, everyone felt their bodies freeze.
Heaven and earth have returned to their rightful place.
One by one, the survivors slowly opened their eyes, looking around blankly.
"This is... the Divine City?"
Towering city walls rose all around them, and majestic, precipitous ice mountains loomed in the distance—everything was exactly the same as when they first set out.
"Damn, if I'd known they'd be coming back, why bother going through all that trouble? They could have just stayed in the city!" someone complained indignantly.
"Hey, look over there! There's food, lots of food!" someone suddenly shouted from the crowd.
