This Gate Is Called the South Heaven Gate

After Su Mu made his choice, the card appeared in his hand.

Unlike other cards, the moment Su Mu obtained this card, he sensed an extremely ancient aura.

The card is dark blue-green, and its texture doesn't feel like paper; it's more like a piece of bronze polished by time. The design is simple, just the outline of a door with a coiled dragon pattern engraved on the frame, but the details are blurred, as if time has worn away its edges.

Su Mu perked up and became very serious.

Unlike when he casually embedded other cards, he first took several deep breaths to completely calm his Soul Space.

His consciousness sank deep into the dungeon, and he slowly pushed the dark cyan card into the dungeon barrier.

Embedded.

The card transformed into a dark cyan streak of light, passing through the dungeon barrier and flying towards Flower-Fruit Mountain.

In Su Mu's Dungeon Space, under a hazy gray sky, three great mountains stood quietly.

Little Drill Wind dozed off by the stone tablet at the mountain pass, White Bone Spirit stood in human form on the mountain path of White Tiger Ridge, and Benbo'erba and Babo'erben swam at the bottom of the Jade Wave Pool.

The Green Lion King lay on his throne on the main peak of Lion Camel Ridge, his translucent golden figure appearing and disappearing intermittently.

Then, a crack appeared in the sky.

The crack slowly tore open from the middle to both sides, revealing a chaotic void.

In the void, enormous stone pillars emerged from the depths of the clouds, one, two, four. The four stone pillars supported a huge square archway, spanning the sky above Flower-Fruit Mountain.

A blank plaque hangs above the doorway.

The door appeared.

It had no dazzling light, no extraordinary phenomena or booming sounds.

It simply hung there quietly, like an ancient relic that had been sleeping for countless years, carrying a faint, almost imperceptible aura.

At the bottom of the Jade Wave Pool, Benbo'erba and Babo'erben stopped swimming at the same time.

The two catfish spirits raised their heads and looked at the archway in the sky. They blinked, glanced at each other, and then lowered their heads to continue swimming.

The Little Drill Wind also raised its head.

It sat up straight beside the stone tablet, squinted its narrow eyes, and glanced at the archway in the sky. Then it yawned, leaned back against the stone tablet, and seemed not to care much.

The White Bone Spirit stood on the mountain path of White Tiger Ridge, her white clothes fluttering in the cold wind.

She looked up at the archway in the sky, a hint of doubt flashing in her deep black eyes, but she quickly looked away.

Meanwhile, the Green Lion King on the main peak of Lion Camel Ridge slowly opened its eyes. It raised its head and looked at the archway in the sky, the outline of the stone pillar reflected in its golden vertical pupils.

It glanced at it briefly, then closed its eyes again.

Most people just glanced at it briefly, showed slight confusion, and that was it.

Su Mu watched every change in the room intently.

These embedded changes did not have a significant impact and were not unexpected.

After all, judging from the description, it's just a door that doesn't belong to the mortal world.

It's normal that we only pay attention to these kinds of monsters and there's no major disturbance.

But what surprised Su Mu was that after the thing was embedded, there was no other reaction.

This was the most unexpected thing for Su Mu.

As the source previously stated, this thing needs to gain its approval.

Based on his knowledge of some novels and materials he had read in the past, Su Mu thought it would be very complicated, or rather, a painful process.

For example, he has to resist with all his might, and he has to do his best to get the other party to acknowledge him.

However, there was nothing there.

Su Mu thought that perhaps the trouble wasn't with the current embedding, but rather with adapting it to his own themed instance; that would be the most troublesome part.

Thinking of this, Su Mu became even more focused, even a little nervous.

However, he quickly regained his composure and began to think.

The next moment, he spoke and named it directly.

This gate is called the South Heaven Gate.

Soul Power -100

This immediately consumed 100 points of Su Mu's Soul Power.

Normally, naming only costs ten points, but considering that this thing is the anchor point that runs through the entire planet, one hundred points is not unreasonable.

Su Mu then kept his eyes glued to the changes, even preparing himself to mentally confront them at any moment.

Then he saw it.

The moment the words "South Heaven Gate" were uttered, the gate trembled violently.

The surface of the dark blue stone pillar was covered with dense golden runes, like lit lamps, spreading outwards from the door frame in all directions.

Three large characters appeared on the blank plaque above the gate: "South Heaven Gate".

The handwriting is ancient and vigorous, exuding a heavy sense of authority.

Mist began to rise around the door.

The clouds surged from the void, swirling between the stone pillars and enveloping the entire gate in a hazy mist. Faintly, celestial music could be heard from within the clouds, along with shimmering golden light and auspicious vapors.

The entire world seemed to tremble.

The ground shook violently, the three mountains swayed slightly, and even the surface of the Jade Wave Pool rippled violently.

At the bottom of the Jade Wave Pool, Benbo'erba and Babo'erben raised their heads.

Their eyes widened, their dark yellow vertical pupils reflecting the colossal gate shrouded in clouds in the sky. Their initial indifference turned to disbelief, then to terror.

Their bodies began to tremble slightly.

The Little Drill Wind bounced up from beside the stone tablet.

Its short sword was drawn, demonic energy surged on its dark blue scales, and its slender eyes were fixed on the South Heaven Gate in the sky.

Its body trembled, and its eyes churned with an emotion Su Mu had never seen before. Then, it knelt down. Its knees touched the ground, the short knife stuck in front of it, and its head was buried deep.

Benbo'erba and Babo'erben also knelt down. They emerged from the water and knelt side by side by the Jade Wave Pool, their heads bowed low and their bodies trembling.

The White Bone Spirit stood on the mountain path of White Tiger Ridge, while the figure of the girl in white trembled.

She didn't kneel, but she wasn't much better off either.

Her body trembled violently, her grayish-white bones faintly visible beneath her skin, as if she might break free of her human form at any moment. She gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and desperately resisted the oppressive force descending from the sky.

Then Su Mu looked at the Green Lion King.

On the main peak of Lion Camel Ridge, the half-embedded golden lion suddenly stood up.

Its eyes widened, and the outline of the South Heaven Gate was reflected in its golden vertical pupils.

It did not kneel.

It wasn't even suppressed. It stood upright, its mane burning slightly in the wind.

But there was a hint of nostalgia in its eyes.

Su Mu remembered that the other demons were all demons.

The Green Lion King is the mount of Manjushri Bodhisattva. Naturally, it wouldn't have much of an impact on the pressure from the Heavenly Court, especially since it's only the pressure from the South Heaven Gate.

Su Mu witnessed the reactions of Little Drill Wind and White Bone Spirit Demon, and was prepared for the embedded card to backfire on him at any time.

However, he did not receive that intense reaction in return, nor did he encounter any resistance from the gate.

Puzzled, I wondered, "Is something wrong?"

With a sense of doubt, Su Mu looked at the door.
