Celestia.
Li Qiuzhi stood at the edge of the floating island, enveloping the not particularly large island with his Psychic Power and examining it carefully.
Before long, he discovered that the island itself looked rather ordinary, seemingly not much different from an island in the sea.
Many white buildings stood in certain parts of the island, and at its center was a palace decorated with golden patterns.
Perhaps this was where the Heavenly Principles resided.
Li Qiuzhi also discovered a white stone path extending two or three hundred meters out from Celestia, with a stone gate at its end.
The stone gate felt familiar to him. It looked very much like the gate that opened whenever he logged into the game.
Could this stone gate be the entrance and exit leading beyond the world under the cover of the "False Sky"?
Li Qiuzhi pondered this possibility.
Five hundred years ago, Lumine and her brother had been stopped here by the "Sustainer of Heavenly Principles" as they prepared to leave. Li Qiuzhi felt he could try it too, to see whether he could draw her out.
Although exploring the palace directly might be more convenient, a wise man did not stand beneath a crumbling wall, after all. It would be better to test the waters this way first.
With that thought, Li Qiuzhi once again used his distance manipulation ability to adjust the distance between himself and the white stone gate.
He took a step forward and arrived directly in front of the stone gate.
He did not conceal his presence. Just as he reached out to touch the stone gate, Li Qiuzhi sensed danger behind him.
He shifted slightly to the side to dodge. With a smack, a dark red cube struck the stone gate, turning into energy and dissipating.
