"correct!"
"From here you can see the abyss in the distance. It's a good spot to take photos."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tibao suddenly stopped, and the flapping of his wings brought up a breeze.
She turned around, waved to the people behind her, and said enthusiastically, "Follow me!" Then she flew towards the small pavilion over there.
Lin Yu, San Yueqi and Xing looked at each other, with a hint of curiosity in their eyes, and then followed Tibao's figure.
The small pavilion is located in an open area on a slightly higher ground, surrounded by green trees, flowers and plants, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance.
When everyone arrived in front of the pavilion, Tibao had already landed steadily in front of the railing of the pavilion.
“Look! The Gate of All Paths! It’s very conspicuous, isn’t it? We met there.” As she spoke, she flew up gently, pointing her finger at the mountains and ruins in the distant clouds.
Everyone looked in the direction Tibao pointed, and saw a towering mountain looming in the clouds and mist, and the ruins on the top of the mountain were shining under the sunlight.
On the outer cliff, several curved spiral staircases extend from top to bottom, like a winding dragon circling the mountains, extending to the end of the sight.
"Wow, so beautiful... I didn't expect the Gate of Ten Thousand Paths to be so spectacular from here."
"Tibao, there is a lot of fog here. If you don't look carefully, you really can't find it. How did you find this place and see over there?" Lin Yu turned his head and asked Tibao.
Tibao raised his head proudly. "I know every corner of Omphalos very well. This is one of someone's favorite places. Whenever he is in a bad mood, he will come here to see the scenery, and his mood will become much better."
"Besides, there isn't thick fog every day, otherwise why would they build a pavilion here?"
“There are many unknown paths and hidden places in this area, which I have explored little by little. Every time I discover a new place, I feel as happy as if I have found a treasure.”
"Then let's take pictures quickly. We must record such a beautiful scenery." San Yueqi said impatiently. She took out the camera from her pocket and began to look for the best shooting angle.
Everyone nodded in agreement, and for a moment, the small pavilion was filled with laughter.
They posed in various postures and left many precious photos against the backdrop of the Gate of Ten Thousand Paths.
And everything in the clouds will be forever fixed in their memories.
...
"Aya, we are back." Tibao flew quickly to Aglaya like a happy little bird.
Aglaya turned slightly, with a hint of fatigue in her eyes, but still asked with concern, "Thank you for your hard work. Is there any news about Tian?" Her voice was soft but with a hint of anxiety, and she was obviously very worried about Tian's situation.
"Not yet, but we have found out where those deserters have gone. It won't be long before we can track down the location of Xuanfeng City." Tibao patted his chest and said confidently.
"And it also stopped some of his irrational behaviors." Tibao said, pinching his waist, turning to look at Lin Yu, with a bit of ridicule and blame in his eyes.
Aglaya frowned slightly, shifted his gaze from Tibao to Lin Yu, and asked with concern, "What happened? What irrational behavior happened?"
Lin Yu cleared his throat and told Aglaya everything about his impulsive behavior.
After hearing this, Aglaya sighed softly, "Thanks to Tibao, I was able to stop you in time this time."
"The ability of the flawed butterfly...is not as simple as you think."
"Let's put aside the serious topic for a moment. Do you mind giving me and the three distinguished guests some space, Tibao?"
"Okay... I hope you like this gift." Tibao said to Lin Yu and the other two.
Although she was unhappy, she still listened to Aya and left.
"As Tibao said, you have contributed a lot to the defense of the Holy City. For this, I would like to give you a thank you gift."
"If you want to stay in Ohma, you will naturally need a place to stay. This gift can solve your problem."
"Come with me."
As he spoke, Aglaya led the three of them to a door.
"Welcome to your private bathing palace." Aglaya pushed the door and walked in.
When everyone stepped into the house, the scene before them made them open their eyes slightly wide and show surprise.
The spacious and bright room is elegantly and exquisitely decorated, and every detail reveals luxury and comfort.
The floors were paved with smooth, reflective marble, the walls were hung with fine fabrics, and the air was filled with a subtle aroma.
"It's better than Pinocchio's guest room." Xing said suddenly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised and a hint of ridicule in his eyes.
Although Pinocchio's guest rooms are not bad, they are indeed inferior to the luxurious private bath palace in front of him.
Lin Yu's eyes were attracted by the bathtub in the center of the room.
He walked closer to the bathtub, reached out and gently touched the water, feeling the warm water temperature, "This bathtub.. is warm water."
He couldn't help but recall his experience in the spiritual water. The spiritual water at that time was icy cold. After Xing came out of the spiritual water, he hugged himself and shivered for a long time.
When Lin Yu turned around, he found that March 7 was staring at the recliner, his eyes full of love and yearning.
"Three of you, there is a special gift." Aglaya's voice suddenly sounded, attracting everyone's attention.
"Is this... a basin? It looks like some kind of ritual utensil." Lin Yu looked towards Aglaya and found that she was standing in the pool with a basin in front of her.
"A small dream pool?" Xing also looked at the basin, his eyes full of curiosity.
"It is not an ordinary wash basin, but a sacrificial vessel held by the Golden Ones. I will now give it to the three of you."
"You have heard about the history of Omphalos and the Holy City of Ohma, and now... I want to take you three to witness the journey of the Golden People with your own eyes."
"In the ancient past, in the overflowing cup, Fagina hid the beginning of the world with waves."
"The ancient 'ocean' priests discovered that place. They used spiritual water to build a barrier to prevent it from being invaded by foreign objects, but at the same time they also left a passage."
"That is the ritual water basin in front of you. Dispel your distracting thoughts and apply the sacred water in the basin to your face. When you open your eyes again, you will be able to witness..."
“The ‘Creation Vortex’ is a great sanctuary that houses the original divinity of the twelve Titans. It is also the place where the miracle of creation promised by the oracle will occur.”
"Close your eyes, hold your breath, block your hearing, and let my whispers fill the world." Aglaya began to gently instruct everyone, "Take a handful of water, hold your palm in front of your chest, and feel the water flowing gently through your fingers..."
Lin Yu and the other two followed Aglaya's instructions, slowly closed their eyes, and carefully performed each step.
“Sink down, do it again, let the spiritual water submerge your wrists, and get familiar with its temperature and touch.” Aglaya’s voice echoed in their ears, like a gentle force, guiding everyone.
"Spread your fingers apart, now lower your head, find your palms, and feel the spiritual water flowing up along your cheeks, soaking your facial features..."
Lin Yu and others devoted themselves to it and immersed themselves in this mysterious ceremony.
"Drift, sink...dive...hit bottom."
When Lin Yu and his group completed this series of actions, they slowly opened their eyes and the scene before them had changed drastically.
The original bathing palace disappeared, replaced by a mysterious dreamlike space, as if in another world.
"Huh? Why are Bai'e and Xiadie here?" Sanyueqi was the first to ask the question, her eyes wide open with surprise.
"Didn't we just meet? How did you all get in here?" San Yue Qi couldn't help but ask again.
"The center of the Creation Vortex has welcomed new visitors. I am not good at speaking, so let them tell you the mysteries hidden in the center of the vortex." After explaining with a smile, Aglaya turned and walked away, stopping in front of a stone statue.
"I'm sorry, Aglaya...her heart has long been frozen because of Ohma. Maybe this is what it means to be a demigod? Standing among mortals, yet very far away from them." Bai'e looked at the direction where Aglaya left, sighed slightly, and explained slowly.
Is your heart frozen?
Lin Yu repeated this sentence silently in his heart, but he didn't think so.
His thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the time when he was alone with Aglaya. He didn't look like a person with a heart as hard as ice.
Will a person with a heart as hard as ice take off his or her clothes, gently comfort others' emotions, tell every story attentively, and prepare a good room for them?
"But this doesn't mean she is cold and heartless." Xiadie added softly, her eyes revealing her understanding and respect for Aglaya. "Everything she did was for this land and the people who live here. It's just that over the long years, she learned to hide her emotions under a strong appearance."
"So that's it." Lin Yu nodded in sudden realization, and his understanding of Aglaya's complex emotions became a little better.
"Then what is the relationship between this vortex of creation and demigod?" Lin Yu asked immediately, his curiosity was completely aroused.
Bai'e slapped his head, "Ah... one more thing that needs to be explained, but don't worry, Omphalos's deepest secrets are all hidden here."
