His voice was deep and slightly hoarse, which inexplicably gave people a sense of conviction.
Avril smiled and followed behind Xu Xiwang.
The two slowly climbed the steep steps to the sacred mountain.
At the summit of the sacred mountain, there seemed to be some kind of mysterious barrier, making it impossible to enter.
Avril smiled. "You see? This is a magical place; only devout believers can ascend here."
Avril stepped into the barrier.
Xu Xiwang was taken aback and tried to step in, but was bounced back by the barrier.
"The barrier is very strong."
Xu Xiwang frowned and said in a flat tone.
"Oh dear, be devout! Be a little more devout! For example, shout, 'Long live the Goddess of Life!'"
Avril Lavigne teased Xu Xiwang.
"Or, Goddess of Life, I love you!"
Avril slapped her forehead. "Oh right! How could I forget! We can't blaspheme the goddess of life here! No, no, I'll change my mind!"
Xu Xiwang: "......"
Avril jumped and danced, her big, watery eyes crinkling into crescent moons as she laughed, "Long live the goddess of life! Long live the goddess of life!"
Avril shouted.
Xu Xiwang stood still, gazing intently at the sacred mountain.
"Goddess of Life, I fervently desire to see you."
Xu Xiwang murmured.
He lifted his leg and slowly took a step. A powerful suction force swept over him, and Xu Xiwang's body was instantly drawn into it.
"See? I told you, piety can bring the blessing of the goddess of life."
Avril's voice rang out.
Xu Xiwang turned around and saw Avril waving at him. He pursed his lips and walked over.
Not far away, dozens of huge stone pillars stood there, with intricate and exquisite mythical beast patterns carved on the tall pillars, and concentric circles of patterns flowing around them.
Hundreds of stone figures surrounded the pillar, all dressed in uniform armor and holding long spears that gleamed with a dazzling golden light in the sunlight.
Avril pointed to the mythical beast carved on the stone pillar and explained, "That's the guardian beast of the goddess of life!"
"And those stone figures, their names are 'Iron Cavalry,' 'Heavenly Punishment Legion,' 'Heavenly Guard,' and 'Divine Messenger'..."
"These are the guards of the Goddess of Life! They are very powerful!"
How do you know everything?
Xu Xiwang looked at Avril with a puzzled expression.
"Because I did my homework! Otherwise, how could I dare to come!"
Avril proudly raised her chin, "You have no idea how powerful the Goddess of Life is. Her power surpasses all human imagination. She is the most powerful god I have ever seen, without a doubt."
"What other gods have you seen?"
"I've looked up all these Western gods online, like the God of War, the God of Light, and the God of the Sea."
"I thought you'd met him before."
"Please, they're all mythological figures."
Xu Xiwang stood quietly in place, the cold wind making his robes flutter, his gaze fixed on the sacred mountain, as if waiting for something.
Avril suddenly grabbed Xu Xiwang's arm.
"Hey, don't just stand there daydreaming, hurry up and go pray for blessings."
Avril grabbed Xu Xiwang's arm, and Xu Xiwang turned her head slightly.
His eyes narrowed slightly, a chaotic aura gradually emerging within them, and a chilling glint flashed across them. "Who are you!"
"Ah! You look terrifying, like a demon!"
Avril patted her chest. "What's with the fierceness?"
Xu Xiwang's lips twitched a few times, but he ignored Avril and walked straight toward the stone pillar.
"Hey! What are you doing? Don't do anything reckless! I'm telling you, the sacred mountain is protected by divine power! If you act recklessly, you'll be punished!"
Avril quickly followed behind Xu Xiwang to remind him.
"Respected Goddess of Life, I wish to see you."
Xu Xiwang knelt on one knee, closed his eyes, silently recited incantations, clasped his hands together, and prayed devoutly.
Mysterious patterns bloomed on Xu Xiwang's forehead, forming a dazzling sphere of light, which emanated strong divine power fluctuations.
"My Goddess of Life, I pray fervently, please allow me to see you."
Xu Xiwang silently recited the mantra once more, and the radiance within the sphere of light grew even stronger.
A powerful beam of light shone, illuminating the stone pillar.
The stone figures and mythical beasts nearby seemed to sense it, and they all roared to the sky, their voices deafening.
