Chapter 190 The Question of the Origin of the World
As expected, with everyone's joint efforts, those originally aggressive figures gradually dimmed and eventually disappeared completely.
Having weathered this crisis, they dared not slacken their efforts and continued their journey without stopping.
Before long, an incredibly spacious platform appeared before them.
This platform is located in the very center of the tower and occupies a very large area.
In the very center of the platform, there is an enormous mirror.
The mirror shimmered with an eerie light, as if it concealed countless secrets.
As the group approached the mirror, they discovered strange images flickering on its surface, as if it were displaying some mysterious prophecy about the future.
Seeing this, everyone gathered around, gazing curiously at the mirror, trying to decipher its hidden secrets...
Just as they curiously leaned closer to take a closer look.
Suddenly, the seemingly solid platform beneath our feet began to shake violently without warning!
This sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard, and their bodies swayed involuntarily.
At the same time, the previously calm and unremarkable surrounding walls seemed to be under a spell, instantly sprouting countless sharp spikes that hurtled towards them like a storm.
Faced with such a dangerous situation, Mu Yang reacted quickly. He took a deep breath and concentrated all his mental energy to control the raging flames.
The blazing flames danced and swirled in the air like a fire dragon.
Wherever it went, the spikes melted into molten iron by the high temperature, dripping onto the ground.
While Mu Yang was temporarily holding off the spiked attack, the others were not idle either.
They looked around anxiously, trying to find an exit to escape or a way to stop the constantly shaking platform as soon as possible.
However, no matter how hard they searched, they could see no hope at all except for the ever-approaching spikes and the constantly shaking ground.
Just when everyone felt desperate and helpless, an unexpected situation occurred—a small, exquisite sprite radiating a strange light suddenly appeared before them.
The little elf blinked its bright, lively eyes and said to everyone with a grin.
"Don't rush! If you can answer my three questions about the origin of this world, you can advance to the next level!"
After saying that, the little elf gently waved the magic wand in his hand, and a mysterious light shot out from its tip.
Three beams of light, shimmering with strange runes, formed in the air; clearly, these were the questions awaiting answers from everyone.
Huan Yuechu and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. Although they had gone through many hardships, the question about the origin of the world was extremely profound.
While everyone was still in a state of panic, Su Jinyan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He looked firmly at the cute yet mysterious little elf before him and said in a steady voice, "Then, please begin with your questions."
Upon hearing this, the little elf chuckled, seemingly quite pleased with Su Jinyan's swift composure.
Then, with a gentle wave of its magic wand, a line of text shimmering with strange light instantly appeared on the first light screen.
What was born from the chaos at the beginning of the world?
These words seem to carry an ancient and mysterious power, prompting one to fall into deep thought.
At this moment, Mu Yang frowned slightly, closed his eyes, and began to recall the various ancient books and legends he had read.
After a moment of contemplation, he slowly opened his eyes and answered confidently.
"I believe that in the beginning of the world, chaos gave birth to both the source of life and the power of destruction. These two forces intertwined and restrained each other, together forming our diverse and colorful world."
As soon as he finished speaking, the little elf's eyes lit up, and it nodded excitedly, indicating its approval of Mu Yang's answer.
Then, the second question appeared before everyone like a shooting star across the light screen.
Who was the one who first divided heaven and earth?
Upon seeing this question, Huan Yuechu immediately conjured up the image of the great creator god from ancient legends.
Without hesitation, she said, "As far as I know, it was the great creator god who, with his unparalleled divine power, divided the originally chaotic world into two parts: heaven and earth."
Huan Yuechu's answer made the little elf so happy that it danced with joy, clapping its hands happily, seemingly very satisfied with the answer.
However, when the third question appeared on the screen, everyone was stunned.
"Where did the first ray of light come from when the world originated?"
At first glance, this question seems to be just an ordinary one.
However, when people ponder it carefully, they are surprised to find that it contains endless and elusive profound meanings.
Just like the turbulent undercurrents beneath a calm lake surface, it appears calm on the surface, but in reality, there are undercurrents surging.
In an instant, everyone present was drawn to the sudden question, their brows furrowed as they racked their brains to think it over.
As time ticked by, every minute felt so long and agonizing.
The originally relaxed and lively atmosphere gradually disappeared without a trace, replaced by a heavy atmosphere that made people feel depressed and tense.
The entire scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and everyone's breathing seemed to be amplified and clearly audible.
Just then, the little girl who had been standing quietly to the side suddenly raised her little hand timidly and said in her childish voice.
"I think... at the beginning of the world, the first ray of light was produced by the desire of all things. Because they longed to break through the darkness, there was light."
The little girl's words flowed into everyone's hearts like a clear spring, and the little elf smiled with great joy after hearing them.
"Congratulations! All answers are correct!" With the elf's cheerful shout, it waved its magic wand once more.
In an instant, the sharp thorns that had been growing continuously suddenly stopped extending.
The entire platform finally stopped shaking and returned to calm.
Just then, the mirror, which was already emitting a strange light, suddenly burst forth with an even more dazzling brilliance, illuminating the surroundings like a radiant sun.
At the same time, a portal magically appeared in the space next to the mirror.
This portal, seemingly a passageway connecting the upper and lower levels, stood there quietly, exuding an air of mystery.
Seeing this scene, everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed a little, and as they looked at each other, their eyes were filled with relief and joy at surviving the ordeal.
However, although they were temporarily out of danger, they were still filled with unease about the unknown upper world.
After all, no one knows what hardships and severe tests await them.
