Godslayer: Agent of the Gods, the Stabilizing Force at the Start

On either side of the gate stands a colossal statue of a mythical beast, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, majestic and imposing, as if guarding this mysterious gate and not allowing anyone to infringe upon it.

"How... how did you do that?" Baili Pangpang opened his mouth wide in surprise, his mouth almost big enough to fit a fist, his eyes wide like copper bells, his face full of disbelief.

His voice trembled slightly with shock, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing, and his body trembled involuntarily as well.

Su Ming and Lin Qiye were equally shocked. Their eyes were fixed on the door, filled with doubt and curiosity.

Where does this door lead? What secrets are hidden behind it? Their hearts were filled with countless questions, as if shrouded in a fog.

Hongying stood quietly to the side, looking at the gate, a relieved smile on her face.

"It seems my guess was correct." Her voice carried a hint of pride and confidence, as if she were proud of her success. Her smile was as bright and beautiful as a flower blooming in spring.

Su Ming stepped forward and reached out to touch the door.

The moment his palm touched the door, he felt a powerful force emanating from it. The force was like an ancient call, carrying the vicissitudes of time and a mysterious aura, causing his heart to beat faster involuntarily, as if something within him had been awakened by this force.

"This door seems to be summoning something," Su Ming said, turning to look at Lin Qiye and the others.

His eyes gleamed with a searching light, as if he were waiting for a response from the others, hoping to gain some inspiration from his companions.

Lin Qiye nodded slightly, a thoughtful look in his eyes, as if he were pondering the deeper meaning behind the door.

"That's right, there must be a huge secret hidden behind this door."

"We must proceed with caution." His voice was deep and serious, as if reminding everyone of the impending danger, his tone carrying an undeniable authority.

Baili Pangpang swallowed hard, his throat moved, and a nervous expression appeared on his face.

"So what should we do now? Should we just open the door?" His voice was hesitant and uneasy, clearly filled with fear of the unknown world behind the door, and his eyes revealed a hint of timidity.

Hongying gently shook her head, her hair swaying with the movement, and said, "Don't rush. Since this door is so mysterious, it must have a mechanism."

We must first find a way to open it; otherwise, opening it rashly may cause unexpected dangers. Her voice was clear and calm, giving people a sense of composure and reliability, like a bright light in the darkness.

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing Hongying's words.

So they began to search carefully around the gate, trying to find the mechanism to open it.

Su Ming carefully felt along the edge of the door, inch by inch, his eyes fixed on every line and pattern on the door, not missing a single detail.

His fingers gently traced the door, feeling its ancient and mysterious aura, as if he were conversing with history.

Occasionally, he would stop what he was doing and carefully observe a particular pattern, trying to find clues in it, his eyes revealing focus and persistence.

Lin Qiye stood in front of the gate, quietly observing the structure and layout of the entire gate.

His eyes revealed a keen insight, as if he could see through all pretense.

His hands were gesturing in the air from time to time, as if he were calculating something, and he was muttering to himself, as if he were deciphering an ancient code.

Baili Pangpang paced back and forth around the gate, his steps hurried and disordered, his eyes constantly scanning the ground and the surrounding walls.

He kept muttering to himself, "Where is the mechanism?" Sweat poured from his forehead, and his face was full of anxiety, like an ant on a hot pan, restless and uneasy.

Hongying stood aside, quietly observing everyone's actions.

Her eyes revealed a calm and composed demeanor, as if she were deep in thought.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, like stars twinkling in the night sky, as if she had discovered something.

“Look here,” Hongying said, pointing to a pattern below the gate.

Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately gathered around, their hurried steps kicking up a cloud of dust.

The pattern below the gate was slightly different from the patterns in the other places.

The pattern features a circular groove, the edges of which are covered with tiny runes, densely packed like a line of ants.

In the center of the groove, there is a small protrusion, like a button, exuding a mysterious aura.

"Could this be the mechanism to open the gate?" Su Ming asked, looking at the pattern with a puzzled expression.

A glint of expectation flickered in his eyes, hoping this discovery could solve their current predicament, and his tone was tinged with excitement.

Lin Qiye frowned slightly as he carefully examined the pattern.

"It's very possible, but we can't try it rashly."

"Take a look at these runes; they might provide some clues." His voice was deep and calm, giving off a sense of stability and reliability, as if he were the backbone of the group.

So everyone began to study the runes carefully.

These runes were ancient and mysterious; they had never seen them before.

However, thanks to their years of adventure experience and understanding of mysterious cultures, they gradually found some clues.

They sometimes frowned in thought, sometimes discussed in hushed tones, the atmosphere tense yet lively.

After some research, they discovered that these runes appeared to be an ancient language that recorded the method for opening the gate.

According to the runes, they need to find three keys, each corresponding to a different location on the gate, in order to open this mysterious door.

"Where are these three keys?" Baili Pangpang scratched his head and asked with a puzzled look.

His face was full of anxiety, as if he was worried about not being able to find the key, and his brows were furrowed into a deep frown.

Su Ming pondered for a moment, his mind flashing back to all the things they had accomplished along the way, and said, "Since this door is connected to everything before, the key is likely hidden somewhere in these ruins."

"We must search carefully." His voice was firm and powerful, inspiring and giving people confidence, as if lighting a lamp for everyone in the darkness.

So the group split up again and began to carefully search for the three keys in the ruins.

They proceeded along the passage, leaving no corner unchecked.
