Re-live your life and start speedrunning

Li Re looked down at the 'sky', then looked up at the 'sky' above his head, thought about it, and agreed.

Everything here is the same everywhere.

Even silver-level perception cannot cover everything.

Without the 'ladder to heaven' to guide him, he would easily get lost - someone really had to guard this 'ladder to heaven'.

"Then you stay here and we'll go in."

Yes – them.

He, and Xinggong Yue.

The pupils of the Phantom Stone Dragon moved slightly, and it glanced at the guardian spirit, the evil ghost girl, who appeared beside Li Re. However, its eyes were full of fear.

"Longan."

"Dragon horn."

"Dragon beard."

"Scales."

"skeleton."

Ah Yue looked at Him expressionlessly.

Youshilong shrank his head.

Li Re: "..."

...

After slightly stopping Ah Yue's intention of coveting the 'Ghost Stone Dragon', Li Re took the hand of the evil ghost girl and walked towards the interior of 'Takama-ga-hara'.

The distance from the edge of the ladder to the interior of the boundless continent that blooms like flower leaves is so far that even at Li Re's leisurely pace, it took him nearly ten minutes to walk.

With his current speed as a silver-level player, a few minutes is enough to cross the entire Great Xia Kingdom.

But here in Takama-ga-hara, we have not yet reached the true core of 'Flower Leaf'.

All you can see, apart from the rolling gray mist-like "soil", are slightly raised hills and countless desolate and dilapidated Torii shrines between the hills.

'Tori-ga Kobe (Damaged)'

"Originally, this D+-class mythological item was originally a 'passage' that connected the torii gate of the corresponding shrine on the ground to 'Takamagahara'. Now it is severely damaged and has become just a decoration."

'Source of item: Reality, Item forger: Tian Yanjian (player code)'

[The gate to the divine world is called Tianyan. It is the assistant minister of the grandson of heaven, guarding the four directions and connecting the gods, humans, heaven and earth - "Classic of Mountains and Seas"]

Li Re picked up a broken fragment of the Kobe Torii and identified it.

The results were not unexpected.

In this place where the top players in ancient times once gathered, anything could be a theme park prop.

Damage is a given.

The 'Gods' are no longer here, so it's normal that the props they left behind are in tatters.

And saw this 'Tori-i Kobe'.

Li Re thought that the core of Takama-ga-hara should be not far away.

He looked up at the sky.

According to the Japanese time on the ground, it should be night now, but here, the sky is still bright - at the end of the sky at this very high place close to the outer sky, the sun's light sets in the distance and is never obscured.

Because it's too high.

So the horizon is also difficult to block.

It is almost like eternal day here, but the moon's light is always there on the other side opposite the sun.

It's just not conspicuous.

"Just keep walking."

Li Re looked at the evil ghost girl behind him.

Facing Li Re's gaze, Xing Gong Yue, with her black hair loose and red eyes, paused for a moment, then nodded - then, in the floating 'ghost fog', she pressed her chest wrapped tightly in white lining against Li Re, and gently raised her graceful black silk legs extending from under her fluttering skirt.

She picked him up, and together they merged with the ghost fog in a spiritual form, directly penetrating all obstacles and flying straight ahead at low altitude!

Well... it's still the standard way of moving.

Without the 'Ghost Stone Dragon', Li Re could only use this method - the speed was fast enough, and the surroundings were covered with ghost fog, and he could also conduct a detailed 'search' while moving forward.

The only downside is that it's a bit 'embarrassing'.

But Li Re, who was feeling the softness on his back, didn't care at all and even enjoyed it a little.

So under this vast sky.

More and more "Tori gates" appeared among the gray and hazy land.

So above and below is the boundless and ethereal "sky".

Supported by the volcanic ash floating up from Mount Fuji - the 'rare earth', this 'plain' that blooms like 'flowers' and 'leaves' thousands of miles high in the sky also seems to be gradually solidifying.

It changed from a grayish-white hazy appearance that was still a bit foggy to a thick, solidified real soil.

On such soil.

There were also palaces standing majestically in the center of the earth!

This is a stretch of palace complex imitating the Daxia style, with red bricks and green tiles, and eaves that spread like wings. The wooden houses are finely carved and arranged naturally, and the terrain rises from low to high, and from the edge to the middle.

Countless palaces surround the large and small silver palace and golden palace in the center.

From a distance, it seems as if the stars are surrounding the moon, and that the stars and the moon are guarding the sun together.

Li Re exited his spiritual form and paused slightly in front of the palace.

The 'Hall of the Gods' is just around the corner!

Chapter 473: Illusion, Eight-foot Mirror, Residual Information

However, compared with the desolate scene ahead, this hall did not look too dilapidated... Li Re watched from afar, and the guardian spirit girl still turned into a spirit and leaned over his back, bringing a soft and beautiful touch.

He thought something was wrong.

Here.

The sun, hanging far outside the atmosphere and almost parallel to Takama-ga-hara in the diffuse layer at the top and farthest reaches of the planet, casts a bright glow, softly illuminating the place recorded in mythology as the "heaven".

Li Re paused among the desolate and undulating soil outside the 'Hall of the Gods' and narrowed his eyes slightly. He looked at the hall which was not ruined and even still looked majestic and sacred. The black shadow behind him swayed slightly, and then he saw a 'Heavenly Eye' suddenly opened between his eyebrows.

Corresponding to this was a faint green flame spreading between Li Re’s eyebrows.

Using his body as a medium, he opened up the 'Heavenly Eye' which was born from the fusion of 'Law of Heaven and Earth' and spiritual power, and opened up the power to see through all illusions.

——Although he hadn’t gotten close yet, looking at the palace from afar, he instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

Li Re, who is not afraid of danger but will try his best to prevent himself from falling into the embarrassing situation of being unable to live or die, will naturally find out where the crisis is first, and he is not in a hurry to enter immediately.

So the next second.

Under the sight of the spiritual eye that suddenly opened up between the eyebrows, that magnificent and sacred temple was still magnificent and still sacred.

So Li Re paused for a second.

He was stunned, his eyebrows twitched slightly, and his expression suddenly became surprised.

More than just buildings.

He also saw something else in this magnificent hall before him.

I saw...

Bang!

The sound suddenly echoed. It was the sound of the tightly closed door suddenly opening under the fortress-like building located at the outermost edge of the palace complex, which also served as the 'palace gate'. It was the sound of the closed wooden door panels being pushed to both sides from the inside out and colliding with the outer walls of the palace.

It was the sound of footsteps hitting the floor that came from inside the door.

"A 'fairy' who ascended from the human world."

"Please come in and be received by the gods."

"The Lord of the Three Noble Sons, Amaterasu, is here to welcome you!"

After each footstep, a low buzzing sound continued to vibrate.

Yes, there are people on this "Takamagahara" that should be deserted! Or should I say... there are "gods"!

It was both a 'human' and a 'god', and more obviously an 'ancient player' existing on Takamagahara. He was tall and majestic, with sharp horns on his head, a square face and a long fish-like beard. He was shirtless, and his muscles were densely packed between his bulging muscles. His posture was across the door, like another door...

He is the door god of Japan.

He is the forger of the "Tori-i Kobe" that Li Re picked up earlier. His name is "Ama-Iwama", and he is the god of the gate.

He is also the first ancestor of the "eternal line" that follows the Emperor of Japan. In mythology, he is the second-generation "grandson of the heavens" created by Amaterasu with her own power. He was the minister brought by Erye Zun when he came to the world to rule the human world under the order of Amaterasu.

He is also a silver-level ancient player.

The god of the gate controls both the gates of the human world and the gate of Takama-ga-hara!

Li Re's brows twitched when he recognized his identity. After being surprised, he looked at the eyes of this 'door god' staring at him. Knowing that the 'immortal' he was talking about was himself, he thought for a moment and decided to move forward to find out!

Just like what 'Phantom Stone Dragon' said.

This 'Takamagahara' is indeed very strange.

The desolate and dilapidated area in front forms a strong contrast with the still majestic and sacred temple. The gods who should have disappeared - the ancient players reappear, and there is a weird color everywhere.

But come all come.

It was impossible for Li Rezi to turn around and leave.

Moreover, although he was cautious, he was confident that he could escape if he really got into an awkward situation where he was neither alive nor dead.

Having made the decision, Li Re shook his body and stepped forward.

"'Amaterasu Great Authority', I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

See Li Re approaching.

Tian Yanjian spoke again.

He still stood in front of the door facing the blazing sun. Li Re frowned slightly when he heard this...

"You guys knew I would come?"

If you have any confusion, you should naturally ask. Li Re is not in the habit of being a riddle teller!

"My Lord Amaterasu can see the present, past and future, so she naturally knew you would come." Tian Yanjian responded in a low voice: "And she also calculated that you are not only from the 'lower world', but also from the country of Daxia in the west--"

"Amaterasu's great authority... Goddess Amaterasu?"

In mythology, the 'god' who stood at the top of Japan after Ame-no-Go and the Seven Generations of Gods - the 'main god' worshipped by countless people, was actually the leader of the second generation of ancient players in Japan.

Did she know he would come?

And it seems that even in ancient times - ancient players from different countries also communicated with each other? At least they knew of each other's existence!

Li Re looked at the palace in front of him again, talking as he walked. When he finally reached the palace gate, his eyes suddenly became inexplicable: "It seems that this 'Amaterasu Great Authority' seems to have the power related to foresight - or the props?"

"Of course!"

Hearing this, an expression of admiration and pride suddenly emerged on Amano Iwama's bearded face. He said, "Although we are both Silver-level Walkers, Amaterasu's degree of evolution far exceeds ours, and his power is far greater than that of us who are revered as gods of Takamagahara - perhaps he is no less powerful than the previous Lord of the Sky, Ame-no-Gochu, who created Takamagahara!"

"If you are interested in 'Amaterasu's Great Authority', you can communicate with her in person next - I think she will definitely be curious about your purpose!" After Tian Yanjian finished speaking, he moved his body to the side, revealing the passage inside the palace gate that was blocked by his tall figure.

What you see is a bright passage of pure golden splendor.

This path does not seem long and narrow. It leads not only inward but also upward - as if it is directly connected to the sun-like core palace guarded by many halls.

Li Re didn't ask any more questions.

He just took another step forward with a thoughtful look on his face—stepped into the passage and stepped into the door.

The figure in Tianyanjian who was watching him move forward had no change in expression, only a smile on his face.

The sound of clacking soon rang out in the passage inside the door... In the space illuminated by the clear light, only Li Re was left walking forward alone. He walked steadily and looked leisurely, and he didn't look like he was here for an "audience" or an adventure.
