"Click."
After a crisp sound, the lock opened.
There seemed to be no rust at all inside the keyhole.
"This moss doesn't seem to have affected the inside..."
Li Luo tried pushing the handle again and found that the door could now be opened inward, though it seemed to be meeting some kind of resistance.
She looked up and immediately understood. It was the moss.
It was too thick, covering the door and forming a heavy "curtain" that even affected the opening of the door.
But that was only a minor problem. Li Luo drew a small knife from her waist, intending to cut all the moss away along the edges.

The entire door had now been revealed, but Li Luo did not open it immediately. She stared at the carvings on it and became lost in thought...

An enormous ship hovered at the center of the door. Rays of Holy Light
