Colin opened his eyes again to find himself back in the church of Huorong City.
A step made of divine light falling from the sky had formed before him.
The stairway pierced the dome, stretched into the clouds above, and led to the boundless void.

He suspected that if he climbed to the end of the stairs, he might experience everything Emperor Gana had once gone through.

And who on earth was that female elf?
