In any case, there would certainly be no shortage of social maneuvering. Some people of action had already entered Mount of Gods.
Some of those gathered outside Mount of Gods for a "pilgrimage" ignored the Northern Lands soldiers' attempts to dissuade them and followed those people into Mount of Gods.
People who became lost, injured, or even died as a result began appearing one after another.
However, compared with when Dark and the others had ventured into Mount of Gods, the mountain was clearly much gentler now.
Even the dense fog within the mountain had become relatively thin, making mid-range communication possible.
Most of the strange objects associated with the Twelve Heavenly Gods had been retrieved. Even if the small number of remaining objects were triggered, they would immediately draw the gods' attention and be promptly taken back.
As for the giant elephant walking through the fog, it had not only put away its "malice," but had instead become a "shelter" for people within the mountain.
Following the giant elephant had become the "secret method" for preserving one's life.
—Changes like these continued to occur throughout Mount of Gods.
And because of that, someone had finally managed to reach the summit and establish a camp there.
However, the entrance from Mount of Gods to Heavenly Court had long since been sealed. No matter how high they climbed, they could not climb into Heavenly Court.
"Pilgrimage" could truly only be "pilgrimage."
It was impossible to truly reach Heavenly Court.
When the invitees learned the real method of entering Heavenly Court, those waiting outside Mount of Gods were one thing, but those who had entered the mountain to explore, survived countless brushes with death, and finally reached the summit instantly felt utterly despondent, as though everything had lost its meaning.
After that.
