Five Peaks Mountain

Li Fengtian's steps towards the black hole-the portal that gaped like a mouth of primordial darkness-stopped after seven steps. Not because of hesitation, but because of the sudden understanding that infiltrated his consciousness.

“We've been dancing in the same scenario over and over again,” he said, his voice calm even as the world around him was crumbling. “The Prima Narrative creates the illusion of choice, but in the end, there is always a hidden way out.”

The figure claiming to be the first triplet-the alpha subject-stared at him with black pupil-less eyes that were now filled with shock.

“What are you talking about?” the alpha subject asked, the pendant in his hand glowing brighter and brighter.

Li Fengtian turned around, a faint smile on his androgynous face-a perfect blend of Lin and Li's features.

“The third truth,” he replied. “The choice you never showed me.”

With movements too fast for ordinary eyes to follow, Li Fengtian touched the pendant on his chest with one hand, an

    Five Peaks Mountain greeted them with an unearthly silence. Li Fengtian and the human figure who had once been the One Who Writes the Unwritten-who now called himself Feng-stood on the highest peak, gazing at a panorama that should have been familiar yet somehow felt alien.“Something's not right,” Li Fengtian whispered, his heterochromic eyes sweeping the landscape below. Yueshan City looked intact in the distance, no sign of the destruction or reality distortion that had once threatened its existence. Yet there was something odd about the way the skyscrapers reflected the sunlight-as if they were made of too-perfect glass.“This is not the Yueshan we left behind,” Feng agreed, a deep frown forming on his forehead. “This is... another version.”Li Fengtian touched the single pendant on his chest-the result of the union of the three narrative keys-and felt an unusually subtle vibration.

    “I will leave...” Li Fengtian took a deep breath, his fingers almost touching the shaking surface of the mirror, “...my certainty.”Feng looked at him wide-eyed. “What do you mean?”“Every step I've taken so far has been based on the belief that I am the only 'awakened' Li Fengtian,” she replied, her heterochromatic eyes radiating determination. “That belief is what I will leave in exchange.”The library nodded slowly, its half-book face displaying an unreadable expression. “Exchange accepted. Doubt in exchange for certainty. Interesting.”Without another word, Li Fengtian pushed his hand through the mirror. An unusually cold sensation traveled from his fingertips, creeping up his arms, then throughout his body.

  • The Gate of Eternity Curse of Heaven   THE GATES OF HEAVEN

    A pair of golden eyes gazed up at the ancient scroll spread out before him. Elder Wei Xuan, with his white robes fluttering gently in the heavenly breeze, let his gnarled fingers trace the silvery glowing characters. Around him, the Nine Tier Crystal Hall reflected the light from the waterfall of light that flowed endlessly in the distance.“Master,” the voice of Zhao Ming, a young disciple with eyes filled with curiosity, broke the silence. “Why should there be a separation between the heavenly realm and the darkness?”Wei Xuan lifted his gaze from the scroll. His golden eyes implied the wisdom of thousands of years. In the distance, a red cloud formation began to move unnaturally, as if giving a sign.“Balance, Zhao Ming,” he replied in a deep voice that echoed in the crystal hall. “But your question comes at the right time. Today, red clouds are gathering in the east-a sign that something has disturbed the balance that has been maintained for thousands of years.”Wei Xuan rose from

    The Hall of Eternal Crystal trembled gently as the Supreme Immortals entered the room. The thousand-foot-tall crystal columns reflected the golden light from their robes, creating a kaleidoscope of light that danced in the air. Zhao Lingyun, his piercing eyes as dark as night, sat in the darkest corner of the hall, as he had always done for the past thousand years.“The realm boundary violation has reached a critical point,” Supreme Deity Bai Xuanting's voice echoed in the hall. His long white beard moved as he spoke, each strand seeming to hold thousands of years of wisdom. “Since... that incident, more souls have dared to challenge the eternal laws.”Zhao Lingyun tightened his grip on the jade pen in his hand. He knew exactly what 'incident' he was referring to-the story of the forbidden love between Li Tianshen and Xiao Yingmei that was now a whispered legend in both realms.“Your Majesty,” a golden-eyed elder rose from his seat. “I bring a report from the eastern border. Three wee

    Dawn hadn't even touched the horizon when the sound of clashing swords began to echo through the Valley of Light. Zhao Lingyun stood tall at the top of the crystal rock formation, his golden-white war robes fluttering in the morning breeze. Below him, a thousand heavenly warriors moved in a formation that had never been seen before in the Heavenly Realm.“Second move!” he called, his voice echoing throughout the valley. “Remember the basic principle-light is not just for offense. It can flow like water, gentle yet deadly.”The warriors moved in unison, their light sabers forming patterns that looked like a dance. The holy energy flowed in a beautiful yet deadly spiral. In the distance, a group of elders observed with sour faces.“Too... unorthodox,” muttered one of them. “He taught them to use light like... like...”“Like shadows,” another elder finished his sentence. “Zhao Lingyun was a genius at war strategy, but his methods were dangerous. He blurs the line between light and shadow

  • The Gate of Eternity Curse of Heaven   FORBIDDEN QUESTION

    Golden glittering dust flew as Zhao Lingyun pulled a worn scroll from the highest shelf of the Ancient Library. The room was silent, only the ticking of the water clock from the corner of the room breaking the silence. Outside, the sun had long since set, and the dim light from the lamp crystals created dancing shadows on the tall walls of the library.“History of Realm Interaction: Early Period of Separation,” he read the scroll's title silently. His practiced hands carefully broke the ancient seal. However, as the scroll unfolded, his brow furrowed in confusion.The initial pages looked normal, containing the standard accounts of the separation of realms. But in the middle of the scroll, the writing changed. Not only was the content different-the style of writing, even the energy emanating from the ink was unfamiliar.“...and in those days, before the Supreme Council enacted the Law of Absolute Separation, the two realms lived in harmony. Light and shadow were not enemies, but two s

    Zhao Lingyun stared at Wei Xuan's slowly disappearing figure, his words echoing in his mind: “the truth written in your own blood.” He grasped the badge tightly, feeling its cold metallic texture. The changing names on its surface-Hong Ying, Lin Chen, Ying Fenghua-were like puzzle pieces that refused to fit together properly.That night, Zhao Lingyun couldn't sleep. He sat in front of the window of his room, staring at the red clouds that were never absent from the sky of the heavenly realm. For years, he had taken the cloud's presence for granted-a natural phenomenon that was said to have appeared since the Great War five hundred years ago. But now, after everything that had happened, he began to wonder.“Red clouds,” he muttered to himself. “Always there, never changing... like a perpetual reminder of something to be forgotten.”Suddenly, an almost forgotten memory came to mind. When he was a child, his grandfather had once told him about the sky of the heavenly realm that used to b

  • The Gate of Eternity Curse of Heaven   THE SHADOW KINGDOM

    The Kingdom of Shadows stretches behind a curtain of perpetual fog, a black palace made of obsidian and shadow crystal towering over a marshy plain. Here, darkness is not simply the absence of light, but a living, breathing force with a will of its own.In the palace's innermost hidden council chamber, Xiao Yingmei-the Princess of Shadows-sits on a throne made of frozen memory fragments. Her black robe that glistened like the surface of dark water wrapped around her body, and her fiery red eyes stared at her closest advisors.“So,” his voice was like the whisper of wind between tombstones, ”Lin Fengtian and Zhao Lingyun have finally met.”A lanky man with shadow runes tattooed on his neck stepped forward. His name was Kai Zhang, the head of supreme shadow intelligence. “They have yet to fully realize the power that flows in their blood, Your Majesty. The Gate of Eternity is still sealed, and the Guardians of the Mist continue to guard its secrets.”Xiao Yingmei smiled-a smile that mad

  • A FORGOTTEN ECHO

    The white light slowly faded away, leaving a resonance that still vibrated in the air. The composite figure-who now called himself Li Fengtian-stood with paradoxical calm amidst the ruins of the Border Council building. Dust flew around him, dancing in the dawn light that began to penetrate the cracks in the walls.Professor Zhang, or rather the vessel used by the Dark Narrative, had disappeared. There was no trace of him other than the black robe lying empty on the cracked floor.“He has retreated.” Li Fengtian whispered, his voice still a harmony of two distinct yet harmonious voices. “But it's not over yet.”Li Fengtian raised his hand, observing fingers that felt both familiar and unfamiliar. His body was now a perfect combination of Lin and Li-Lin's masculine strength blended with the gentleness of Li's face, creating an androgynous figure that exuded an undeniable aura of authority.With steady steps, he walked through the ruins, towards the large window overlooking the city.

  • THE TURN OF THE SCRIPT

    After the transformation of Who Writes the Unwritten, silence floated in the space between narratives. Li-formerly known as Lin-stood amidst a constellation of points of light, sensing a fundamental change in the structure of reality. However, deep within him, a faint uneasiness began to grow.Lin Fengtian opened his eyes with a jerk, his breath hunting in the cold morning air. It was that dream again-the same vision that had haunted him for weeks. In his dreams, he was always someone called “Li,” an entity facing off against a primordial force called the One Who Writes the Unwritten.He rose from the bed, his sleeping robe feeling cold against his skin. His luxurious apartment in the Silver Dragon Tower-the tallest building in Yueshan City-offered a panoramic view of the city waking up under the tinge of dawn. But this morning, even that beauty could not chase away her restlessness.“Who is Li?” she whispered to herself, the same question she had asked hundreds of times. “And why doe

  • SHEET MUSIC CHANGE

    “Why?” The Questioner repeats Lin's question in a voice that echoes in the infinite white space. “This is the question that got me banished from the narrative. A question too dangerous to answer.”Lin stared at the multi-cycle cosmic model still hovering between them-a constellation of points of light that each represented one complete meta-narrative cycle. Each dot contained trillions of individual narratives, billions of characters, countless numbers of conflicts and resolutions.“And now?” Lin asked, her dual consciousness resonating with waves of increasingly fundamental questions. “Are you going to answer it?”The Questioner scrutinized Lin with an intensity that felt like physical pressure. The contours of his face changed, sometimes looking like a mask of tragedy, sometimes like a mask of comedy, but always with a questioning expression.“You may be the only entity that can understand the answer,” he finally said. “Because you yourself are a paradox-two becoming one without los

  • A PARADOX THAT WRITES ITSELF

    Silence fell over the septagon after Lin's statement. The Guardians stared at each other, their meta-narrative forms quivering in a restlessness never seen before. The Storyteller was the first to step forward, the ink that formed his figure rippling like a restless sea.“The end of all narratives,” he repeated Lin's words in a voice that sounded like burning sheets. “How can a narrative have an end? Narrative is an infinite process, an endless circle of creation and interpretation.”Lin shook her head slowly. His eyes now had a different depth-like a well whose bottom was invisible, reflecting the knowledge he had brought back from the ground zero of narrative existence.“That's what we've always believed,” Lin replied, her voice still carrying the double resonance of her paradoxical duality. “But what I see shows a different truth.”He stepped into the center of the obsidian pattern, raising his hand. From his fingers, streams of golden energy flowed to form projections-not images o

  • RESONANCE DISCORDANCE

    Light. Blinding light. Then deep darkness.Lin lay on the cold, hard floor-no longer the absolute nothingness where she last met the Connector. Her eyes opened slowly, adjusting to the dim light that came from nowhere. His body felt different - denser yet lighter, as if mass and energy had reached a new balance within him.“Reintegration complete,” she whispered to herself, but her voice sounded like a small orchestra-several different notes resonating in almost perfect harmony.Lin got up, looking around. She was in a room she'd never seen before-not a room in the Library she was familiar with. The walls seemed to be made of solid light that flowed like a slow waterfall, displaying fragments of a narrative that moved constantly in unpredictable yet somehow familiar patterns.“Library?” Lin called out, feeling the building's conscious presence-but the response was different, deeper, more complex than she had ever felt before.We're here, a voice-no, many voices-answered in her mind.

  • INTERDIMENSIONAL ENIGMA

    Lin awoke with a sharp jolt, cold sweat beading on her forehead. His private room in the Library's east tower felt even more cramped than usual, its walls seeming to breathe with a rhythm out of sync with his own breathing. It had been three months since the incident with the Liaison, but the dreams had not stopped-fragments of consciousness that were not fully his.She rose slowly, her bare feet touching the marble floor that should have been cold, but now felt warm and slightly shaky.“Library,” Lin whispered, ”you feel it too, don't you?”There was no verbal reply, but Lin felt a wave of understanding flowing around him-a wordless confirmation of a meta-narrative structure that now had a consciousness of its own.Standing in front of the tall window, Lin observed the ever-changing panorama outside the Library. Today, the sky was purplish in color with two twin suns dancing in a complex orbit. This scene did not belong to any world he had ever known-it was a visual manifestation of
