As time passed, Lin Xintong remained motionless. A layer of blue ice crystals formed on her eyebrows and her hair. The ice crystals were like sapphires that resembled flowers used for decoration.
On the first level of the God Advent Tower, Lin Xintong had chosen disk arrays that were suitable for herself. She did not gain many insights from the two disk array arrays, but the painting on the third level of the God Advent Tower made Lin Xintong feel something. As such, she sat in front of the painting and entered an ethereal state.
No Law, No Shape, No Void, No Me.
This was a form of epiphany, it was something that came by not searching for it.
An unknown amount of time passed and very faintly, Lin Xintong’s eyebrows moved. Following that, she opened her eyes, revealing her clear glass-like eyes.
“Thank you for the senior’s guidance… ”
Lin Xintong looked at the figure in the painting and said softly before giving a respectful bow.
The painting contained the figure of the ancient Great Empress.
In the God Advent Tower, across millions of years, in the painting and outside the painting, the air emanated by Lin Xintong’s body seemed to faintly resembled the ancient Great Empress’.
She stood up with her sword in hand and then walked towards the fourth level of the God Advent Tower without turning back.
In the epiphany she was having just moments ago, Lin Xintong saw many scenes, and amongst them, it included a portion of the ancient Great Empress’ memories.
It turned out that… the God Advent Tower was not created by the ancient Great Empress. It was an opportunistic item that the ancient Great Empress had obtained.
Back then, the ancient Great Empress had climbed up the God Advent Tower slowly just like Lin Xintong.
“I want to be like the ancient Great Empress. If I want to change the destiny of my naturally terminated meridians, I need to follow her footsteps.”
Lin Xintong said quietly in her heart and she climbed the staircase.
In front of her, there was a distant door of light. That was the entrance to the fourth level of the God Advent Tower.
As she walked up the staircase, Lin Xintong’s mind was abnormally calm. At a certain point, she lifted her head and looked forward. Not far from her, there stood a white-dressed girl with a sword.
The white-dressed girl’s looks and figure were extremely similar to Lin Xintong. It was like Lin Xintong was looking into a mirror.
She was the God Advent Tower fourth level’s guardian.
Only by defeating her would Lin Xintong be able to step into the fourth level of the God Advent Tower.
“Make your move!”
Lin Xintong said lightly.
The white-dressed girl looked at Lin Xintong and their gazes met. They could see their own reflections in each other’s eyes.
After a long while, the white-dressed girl gently shook her head, “I never expected that you already have an air like hers… ”
“Oh?” Lin Xintong’s eyebrows moved slightly. She was quite surprised at the words the white-dressed girl just said. She expected the white-dress girl to be a guardian without any intelligence or soul, yet, she had said such a thing to her.
“You mentioned ‘her’? It looks like you are not just an energy life form that obeys orders…”
As Lin Xintong spoke, the white-dressed girl sighed lightly and kept her sword. She said faintly, “You have already made up your mind to join up your terminated meridians and control your own destiny… You have a sword in your heart, while I have no sword in my heart. I can’t block you.”
“Go, but even if you pass me, the fourth level will not be too easy for you.”
The white-dressed girl said before her body exploded with a “Peng”, turning into a rain of light as she dissipated.
