Book 6: Chapter 44: Lily’s Prayer

The peak plateau of Mount Izumo.

An unknown power had levitated this peak in the skies for tens of thousands of years, and finally, Lily’s slender feet stepped onto the top of this mountain.

This was a plateau several hundred meters wide, bleak and vast.

All around were collapsed mountain rock, dried ponds, and withered ancient trees. The air was full of fog, and the place was gloomy. Lily was unable to see the mountains or seas, it was as if she was in a different world.

But this was the peak!

She walked on the road, in between several large boulders and saw a cliff in the distance. On that cliff was a broken stone table, and a weathered chessboard. It seems as if someone had played a game here long ago.

To be able to play a game here, it must have been the immortals.

She continued to walk forward and reached a place surrounded by giant boulders at the top of the mountain. It looked as if there used to be a giant stone pavilion here, only the top of the pavilion was gone and all that was left was foundation and a few broken stone pillars. The stone pillars had been carved with ancient script.

The script was very similar to the script on her ancient mirror, only rougher.

Her mirror originated from Suzuhiko-hime. Looks like this was the place where the gods gathered.

Looking around, all the stone tables and chairs were either cracked or collapsed, and the white stone of the ancient pillars were overgrown with moss and vines.

“It should be here, only the gods must not have come here for many years…” Lily muttered to herself.

Looking upon this desolate, shattered place, for some reason she felt a sense of sadness. Either the departure of the gods had somehow affected her, or she was too sentimental.

Passing through the courtyard, Lily walked up a stone stairs, reaching the highest point of the mountain overlooking everything.

This place was a flat octagonal stone formation ten meters wide. The formation was engraved with worn ancient script. Around the formation were eight large stone pillars, but they mostly all broken and collapsed.

Looking around, she felt that this was the real peak of Izumo Mountain. Perhaps when the gods first descended, they had landed on this stone platform.

Taking a deep breath, Lily wondered if she was about to fulfill her heartfelt wish. Had she really climbed to the peak of this Izumo Mountain?

Recalling obstacle after obstacle, difficulty after difficulty, although the time she had spent on this road wasn’t long, each encounter was more thrilling than the last, how difficult it had been to climb this mountain!

If her ancient mirror had not opened the fifth door, she would have probably died in that world full of monsters. It was really…too difficult, too dangerous. But no matter what, she had reached the top!

Right now, she didn’t care about the so-called treasures or opportunities, all she cared about was praying to the gods and asking for help to awaken Rinne!

The skies were gloomy, dusky and filled with wind. Looking around herself, Lily felt that if one was to pray, it should be right here.

She muttered in her heart, “Senior Rinne, I came to this world as a powerless girl, but I’ve endured through this difficult and dangerous journey because you…are the most important, strongest and unshakable pillar to me
