The heavy stone door settled like a cage, as if to block something that should not appear within this hall.
The two of them and the cat stopped talking; they were the banquet offered before the Son of God, and once the ritual began, this place was set to be impenetrable.

Beyond this, there weren't many things the young man feared.
He slowly tightened his grip on the girl's hand, originally intending to embrace the black cat as well, but Li Piaoqing had already scooped it up. So, the young man looked up at the ascending points of light and pressed firmly on the hilt of his sword at his waist.
In the silence, the unstoppable ritual finally came to full fruition, and the glow, like fireflies, flowed into a river reaching to the heavens.
