I, the leader of the esoteric sect, am doing great things in the infinite world!

Please tell me your answer.

Li Lin, without any pretense, immediately replied: "Night Watchman - Door in the Eyes..."

Gribby's eyes widened, and joy welled up in them.

"...Silk Necklace, Ringed Cedar, Thunderous Skin, Ant Queen, Twin Witches, Colonel, Lionsmith..."

Before he could deliver his verdict, Li Lin recited all the names of Si Chen as if listing a menu.

Within Gribby's perception range, several gazes, some dim and some casual, had already been cast upon him.

However, due to the massive gate, these gazes did not actually fall on Li Lin.

"Wrong?" Li Lin asked, annoyed that Gribby hadn't responded for a long time, while twisting his wrist joint.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Gribby shouted hurriedly, "You got it right, you got it right!"

The old deer had no body, otherwise it would have already hidden behind Li Lin. More and more eyes began to be cast on Li Lin, but because there was a larger Gribi blocking the way, those gazes, whether scorching or cold, fell on Gribi.

Li Lin cast a suspicious glance at Gribby, looking him up and down, finding him utterly suspicious.

Being eager to pass is suspicious; ignoring the random answers given is suspicious; having a perfunctory attitude is suspicious; having an affected expression is suspicious; making such a loud noise is suspicious; and crying and laughing like a lunatic is suspicious.

Li Lin watched with a blank expression as Gribby anxiously looked around. If Gribby didn't have a body, he would have jumped up by now.

A few minutes later, seeing that Li Lin remained unmoved, Gribby burst into tears.

This time, Gribby genuinely wanted to cry.

Li Lin couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Why did Gribby's performance differ so much from last time?

This must be the old deer's scheme.

No matter how much Gribby pleaded, Li Lin refused to go in.

As time went on, those gazes gradually became brighter—perhaps the Divine Stars also wanted to see which reckless fellow dared to call them all over the gates of the Stag, and then stubbornly refuse to go in.

A few seconds later, some of those gazes quietly faded away, which made Gribby breathe a sigh of relief, but he soon caught his breath again.

Because among those gazes that did not leave, some became even more intense!

Besides the expected God who acts according to the times, there was also a gaze as fiery as a furnace, a gaze as cold as frost at dawn, and a gaze as serene as moonlight.

Gribi, still in shock, trembled as he sensed the gazes falling upon him and counted their number. Fortunately, only the four Sichen were visible.

What terrified Griby even more was that, as time went on, he could feel that the four gazes were all sending him a kind of urging thought.

"What's the use of urging me? Why don't you urge him instead?" Gribby thought to himself with a hint of resentment, but he dared not complain. He could only cast a similarly resentful glance at Li Lin.

A few seconds later, Gribby's big head started banging on the ground.

“Go in quickly! Your answer is correct, it is the Night’s Watch!” Griby shouted in despair.

"That's it?" Li Lin looked at Gribby in surprise. "No additional answers?"

“No, I swear to God who acts in accordance with the times.” Gribby said with absolute certainty.

"Really? I don't believe it." Li Lin was still lingering at the door. "Unless you give me oral sex."

The four gazes behind Gribby suddenly turned intense.

Gribby stared wide-eyed at Li Lin with an incredulous look.

"Hey! What is he doing!"

While watching the live stream with Theresa in the Wise Knight's Hut, Nian slammed his fist on the table and shouted, "I'm going to break his stick!"

325 Destiny

"Isn't this bad?"

Gribby stammered, "How about we reschedule...?"

Is he really going to agree to Li Lin's conditions?!

"Hey!" Just as Nian had been calmed down by Theresa, Gribby's words reignited her anger. "I'm going to give that old bastard a good beating!"

"Calm down..."

Theresa shook her head and sighed. She didn't know why Nian always lost his composure when it came to things related to Li Lin, but she didn't intend to lecture him, because Theresa herself had been the same way in the past.

"Really?" Li Lin asked skeptically. "Are you even a man?"

How could there be a male animal that could withstand such conditions without batting an eye? There must be something fishy going on.

“I’m not even human…” Gribby sighed, tears falling to the ground. Feeling the increasingly disapproving gazes behind him, he said in a tearful voice, “What do you want me to do to get through the Buck Gate?”

Li Lin pondered for a moment, then decided to tell the whole story: "So why were you so difficult with me in the first place, and why are you being so humble now?"

Gribby was stunned.

That's it?

Just for such a trivial matter, you deliberately transformed yourself into a voter with a double-edged axe, and then recited the names of all the deities in front of the gate?!

The key point is that they actually responded!

Is that why you refused to go in at the Deer Gate and repeatedly tortured me?

Thinking of this, Gribby felt a pang of sorrow. And how could that riddle be considered a challenge? As a voter of the Double-Horned Axe, shouldn't you have known this all along?!

Gribby's lips trembled, as if he wanted to curse, but he forced himself to suppress the urge, blew his tears and snot, and forced a smile.

"Well, it's not because of your exceptional talent... alright." Gribby clicked his tongue, thinking that since Si Chen had chosen him, it shouldn't be a problem for him to reveal some secrets in advance.

A deep blue glow surged like the ocean over the mottled, cracked door, then surged in like a tide, blocking all other prying eyes.

Of course, this only applies to those below the level of immortals.

"The reason I chose the most difficult riddle is because it's a secret known to everyone in the Mansu, a secret that cannot be described in words, but you will know it for yourself once you walk through the door."

Gribby bowed respectfully, and the antlers blocking the gate of the stag moved aside as if they were alive, and cobalt blue light fell from the sky, and the gate of the stag opened with a rumble.

"Please come in. Once you pass through the door and step into the real Sun House, I will reveal the secret you wish to know."

Li Lin blinked dryly.

To be honest, he was quite receptive to this approach, and considering how humble Gribby had already been, he didn't intend to delay any longer.

Li Lin stepped forward and entered a deep blue light.

Behind the door was an endless expanse of light, and within that radiance lay a mountain without end.

Calling it a mountain isn't quite right, because it's constantly changing. When Li Lin held his breath to look, it turned into a steep, towering cliff, and in the next instant, it became a vast, overgrown wilderness... Every moment, Man Su's appearance was changing.

Therefore, no one has ever been able to draw a specific map of Mansu. All the Mansu maps circulating in the waking world are actually reflections of Mansu in dreams.

As Li Linmo counted the changes in Man Su's appearance, he discovered that among all these changes, there were always some things that remained unchanged.

For example, the forging ground, a place where the furnace fire flickers high up, and the crimson sanctuary, the Crimson Church, shrouded in countless lights.

They each belong to a different celestial body.

In the vastness of the world, there is no distinction between front, back, left, or right; up and down are the only measures. The higher you go, the closer you are to the radiance; the lower you go, the closer you are to death. But death is not eternal; people always find a way to die even more.

"Apprentices who are new to Mansu are always amazed by how Mansu’s image is constantly changing. Everyone will have two opportunities to visit Mansu in their lifetime, at least two."

Gribby's strange voice came from behind Li Lin. Li Lin turned around and saw the huge, riddled wound behind the door, which almost tore the entire door apart.

This ancient door has existed since the war between the Divine Stars, and has been on the verge of collapse until now.

Gribby's strange sigh rang out again: "I don't know what Mansuo looks like in your eyes, but the first Mansuo that apprentices see determines their future image, and once it's set, it won't change..."

"you sure?"

“I am absolutely certain,” Gribby’s voice rang out, “even though I haven’t seen what Mansoo looks like for thousands of years.”

Li Lin turned his head and looked again at the ever-changing interior of Mansu.

"It is still constantly changing."

Gribby fell into a brief silence, then realized something was wrong.

"You mean, Mansu is still constantly changing?" Gribby's tone gradually rose. "How many forms has it presented to you so far?"

Before Li Lin could speak, Gribby gave his answer.

“Each form corresponds to a Divine Beast. The Divine Beasts have inscribed their will into the foundation of the rules, so each of Mansu’s forms belongs to a different Divine Beast… How many have you seen?”

"So you're saying that although it's just one type of lodging, it's actually thirty-six different types of lodging?"

Gribby was amazed by the sheer boredom of Li Lin actually being able to count all the forms: "Yes... wait, you saw thirty-six forms?"

His voice grew louder: "But there are only thirty altars corresponding to the Divine Stars! ... I understand now, it is the old destiny that is on your shoulders. You have not only been accepted by the thirty Divine Stars of Mansu, but also by the six Divine Stars who have passed away. Their destiny has fallen on your shoulders."

“That doesn’t make sense,” Li Lin frowned. “Si Chen isn’t really going to die, and what you’re saying makes it sound like I should marry Jiao Yang’s widow.”

Gribby fell into an eerie silence again, and after a long while he finally spoke softly, "This is what you said, it has nothing to do with me."

Like Duke Jing of Jin about to fall into a latrine, Gribbi weakly defended himself.

“The celestial deities will not truly perish, but their mandate and authority will fall into other hands; this is the true meaning of their passing.”

Li Lin frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized: "So for them to return, someone must bear their destiny and become their guiding light in the waking world and the world of Mansu. After all this time, I'm still using Klein's script. That doesn't make sense, does it?"
