The northern tip of the Far North Continent, or rather, is an unnamed island in the north of the continent. It is separated from the mainland by a natural barrier, and is blocked by an inexplicable force. It is impossible for ordinary humans or spiritual beasts to cross this natural barrier.
But for Tian Lan and Ye Yi, this obstacle is not a problem at all. They only need to use a little divine power to protect themselves. It couldn't be simpler.
This unnamed island is very small, at least compared to the vast mainland. Tian Lan and Ye Yi stood thousands of meters in the air and could have a panoramic view of everything on the island. But Tian Lan only saw a very small island. An ordinary nameless desert island. There was no tall tower that reached the sky as he imagined.
Tian Lan asked Ye Yi doubtfully: "This is it."
Ye Yi nodded affirmatively and said: "This is it. That guy just asked me to come here to find him. He said that Beitongtian Tower is not a real tower, but a passage. So..."
Before he could finish speaking, a voice suddenly came from the island: "You are willing to come over."
Then, a light and shadow quickly rose into the sky and appeared in front of Tian Lan and Ye Yi.
The light and shadow faded, revealing his appearance. Tianlan looked at this person seriously. He looked to be over thirty years old. His expression was serious and meticulous. He seemed to be the kind of very rigid and harsh person. He sent such a person to do Tongtian. Tower guard. Perhaps the most suitable one.
However, he did not feel the same powerful divine power in this person as they did. Could it be that this person was not a god, but just a human being?
It's right to think about it. Gods are limited in time in the human world. They can't guard the Tower of Babel for a long time. This person should be a mortal. He just got some kind of more powerful power. He can rival the gods.
Ye Yi saw this man and said with a smile: "Brother Yan, long time no see. You are still as handsome as before."
The extraditer's name was Yan Yu. He had met Ye Yi several times three years ago. Hearing Ye Yi's familiar name, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at him and said: "Don't get close to me. I don't want this." One thing. You should know that I am immortal."
On the way, Tianlan had already heard what Ye Yi said about him. He politely raised his hands and said, "Senior Yan, this is our first meeting. I'm Tianlan."
Yan Yu is not a rude person. When he saw Tianlan, he took the initiative to salute him and politely returned the salute. Then he said to Ye Yi: "He is the reason why you refuse to leave the human world."
Ye Yi smiled and said: "Yes. I just said Tianlan will wake up."
Yan Yu glared at him, as if he wanted to reprimand him, but finally sighed helplessly: "In the past few years, I have taken over the Tower of Babel, and I have met many guys like you. They have obviously survived the catastrophe, but not I wish to leave this world. It seems that I, the extraditer, should be renamed 'The One Who Delivered'."
Ye Yi touched his nose and said: "Then it seems that heaven is really not that good. Otherwise, no one would want to go."
Yan Yu pretended to be angry and said: "You have to go even if you don't want to. If the gods stay in the human world for too long, it will bring unpredictable disasters and turbulence to the human world. And you yourself will also be punished by heaven. You managed to survive the catastrophe." Do you want to lose your life like this?"
Ye Yi had dealt with Yan Yu several times. He knew that this person was cold-faced and kind-hearted. In fact, he was very easy to talk to. He said with a playful smile: "Okay, okay. Aren't we getting ready to go to heaven? Brother Yan, what's the matter? Please be careful and tell us."
Yan Yu snorted at him and then said, "You two, follow me."
They landed on an uninhabited island. Yan Yu led the way and led them into a stone house deep in the island.
Ye Yi was amazed when he saw the stone house. He said: "Brother Yan, you live in a place like this. You are treating yourself too badly. You have to build a castle to live in anyway. You are the only one on this island anyway. It is so big. The place."
Yan Yu was too lazy to pay attention to him. As he walked, he explained to Tianlan: "If you want to travel between heaven and man, you must pass through the Babel Tower. The North Tongtian Tower under my care is one of them. But you have to remember that the journey to the Babel Tower is one way. Road. Once you set foot on the road to heaven, you cannot look back. Every step you take, the road behind you will disappear until you enter heaven."
He took Tian Lan and Ye Yi into the stone house. Then he opened the secret tunnel leading to the underground. He motioned for Tian Lan and the two to follow, and then he got into the tunnel first.
Ye Yi whistled and said: "It turns out there is a mechanism. It's quite hidden. We didn't even notice it just now."
Tianlan said: "Maybe some special technique was used. Don't speculate too much. Let's catch up."
They got into the tunnel one after another. When they arrived below, it was a completely different scene. Under their feet was a long lotus leaf terrace, surrounded by water. There were dots of fireflies floating in the air, reflecting the light of the water surface. It was extremely beautiful. No. There are a few lights that look like the bright moon in the sky in the distance. They are floating like the remaining candles on a fishing boat.
Seeing such a wonderful scene, Ye Yi praised: "It's really enjoyable. It seems there is no need to build a castle."
Yan Yu was standing not far in front of them, waiting for them. Hearing Ye Yi's bored thoughts, he couldn't help but said: "We have reached the outskirts of the Babel Tower. It is not considered the human world. You should be careful."
Tianlan said: "You told us to be careful. But what's the danger?"
Ye Yi smiled and said: "Will some guarding monsters suddenly appear? Or will the space collapse?"
Yan Yu shook his head and said: "None of them. I'm telling you to be careful where you step. You can't fly in the Tower of Babel. You won't be able to fly when you get to the Road to the Sky in a while. You must be careful. The Road to the Sky is relatively narrow. Once you make a mistake, you can't fly. If you fall, you will be lost in the cracks of space forever. It is more terrifying than death."
Tianlan thought and murmured to himself: "...the gap in space."
He recalled his experience when he passed through the world of humans and ghosts. It seemed that he had been to a dark place. However, he was in a trance at the time and could not remember clearly.
Yan Yu reiterated: "Don't take risks out of curiosity. As long as you leave the scope of the Road to Heaven, you will be swallowed up by the cracks in space. Don't think that you are so great now that you are gods. Once you fall into the cracks in space, you will be left alone. No matter how powerful you are, it is impossible to find the road to heaven."
Ye Yi saw him stressing so much and realized the importance of this issue. He said: "Okay. I understand. We will be careful."
Not long after, they had reached the end of the lotus leaf terrace. There was a light and shadow of a door in front of them. There was a white light inside. The situation inside could not be seen from the outside.
Yan Yu stopped and said, "This is the road to heaven. I wish you good luck."
Tianlan bowed to him again and said, "Thank you, Senior Yan."
Ye Yi waved his hand to him and said: "Brother Yan, thank you. I will treat you to a big meal when I have the opportunity to come back."
Yan Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said: "You better not think about coming back. The world of heaven is very chaotic. In a few years there will probably be a ceremony to sacrifice to heaven. That is not fun. You two have just been promoted to little gods. You should be honest. Stay safe and stay safe. Don't go to the Tower of Babel in the heaven. If you are suspected of having other agendas and arrested, you will not be able to defend yourself."
Ye Yi shrugged and said, "It turns out there are all such unreasonable people there."
Yan Yu said: "That's not true. People who can cultivate to become gods must be different. They are all scheming old foxes. You two little kids are careful to fall into other people's traps. But you don't have to be too inferior. Not everything in heaven is like this. There are many gods who are similar to mortals. Most of the gods in the heaven are cultivated by the aborigines of the heaven. Because the disasters in the heavens are much easier than the disasters in the human world."
"You still have a lot to understand. Now I say it is difficult for you to understand. You will know when you get to the heaven. The heaven is far more suitable for your cultivation than the human world. There is plenty of spiritual energy there. I don't know how many times better than the human world. "
Ye Yi lazily yawned and said: "Brother Yan, if you keep talking, it will get dark. Haha. Don't be so reluctant to let me go. In a few hundred years, there will be new little gods waiting for you to save." 'Oh. You are old. You should take care of yourself."
After saying that, he waved his hand and walked into the road to the sky in a cool and unrestrained manner. He disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Tianlan bowed slightly to Yan Yu, and then followed Ye Yi into the road to heaven.
Yan Yu watched the two of them leave with complicated eyes. After a long time, he said softly: "I hope there is no Zhuoshen among them. Otherwise... Sigh. Seeing that the two of them have such a good relationship. If they really want to fight each other, then... That would be too cruel.”
Tianlan and Ye Yi, who were walking on the Road to Heaven, didn't know Yan Yu's last words, nor did they know the future they would face. At this time, they were simply shocked by the sight of the Road to Heaven.
A path less than one meter wide. It winds and extends far and far away. There is no end in sight. Elsewhere, there are beautiful starry skies, including underneath the Road to the Sky. This road is actually completely suspended in the air and keeps spreading. To the sky.
Ye Yi looked back and saw that the door he came from had disappeared. One meter behind them was the endless starry sky. There was no road.
He couldn't help but said: "It's exactly what Brother Yan said. It seems that we can only move forward. And we can't fly. It's so long. How long will it take?"
Tianlan said softly: "Okay. Stop complaining. If you have the strength, it's better to leave quickly."
"Oh, it's really far away. The road is so narrow. It seems impossible to stay overnight..." Ye Yi muttered and complained. But he still took a step forward and walked forward. He said he would reach the sky. Difficult. Now it seems that this road to the sky is not a shortcut to reach the sky in one step.
Just like that, Ye Yi walked in front and Tian Lan followed. The two were less than one meter apart. The road behind them disappeared little by little as they moved forward. But the road in front of them didn't seem to shorten at all.
There is no way to compare the road they have taken and the road not taken. Only as time passes little by little, do they really realize what it means to have a long road ahead...
