Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse-Chapter 852 - 511: The Secret of the World Behind the Door_3
"Could this be a portal back to the surface?" Lou Fei’Er was somewhat pleasantly surprised.
Jin Yue did not speak, she merely took two steps closer to Xu Xin, ready to act if danger appeared.
Shi Wanyun, however, was filled with doubt.
What exactly is this place?
She knew well that the way back was clearly not here, but through the passage Xu Xin and the others came from.
Then what is going on here?
Why did those guys never mention anything about this third level?
Could it be that they don’t know either?
Xu Xin, in contrast, felt an overwhelming thrill in his heart.
He was even beginning to breathe heavily!
He felt as if something within the door was beckoning to him, attracting him, summoning him to enter quickly!
"Boom..."
The sound continued to resonate.
The gap between the two doors slowly opened, the purple-black light becoming even more prominent, while the faint white glow emitted by the door gradually dimmed.
The door was not swinging outward, but inward.
The inward-opening door appeared to be submerged in water, sinking into the purple-black light, then with the bronze dagger on the keyhole, disappeared without a trace.
Simultaneously, the purple-black light flourished, instantly filling the space where the door originally was, even expanding outward by several dozen centimeters!
Subsequently, the rumbling sound ceased.
A peculiar giant door appeared before the group!
The door frame was made from the original crystal material, emitting a gentle white glow, yet within the door lay a purple-black starlight!
This time, there was neither a rotating purple-black vortex nor an intense purple-black energy; there was only a depth akin to the universe, ready to pull one in, a purple-black... starry sky?
There were tiny stars within, emitting a gentle white light, making one feel as if confronting the universe itself.
"This... is so beautiful!" Lou Fei’Er was immediately captivated, "Is this a portal? Why is it different from the previous ones?"
"Wow... I’m a bit afraid to go in..." Zeng Tao moved closer to Xu Xin, "It feels like entering it would cause you to lose yourself in the boundless universe..."
Xu Xin subconsciously took a step forward.
He could no longer restrain himself from entering.
At this moment, two hands grabbed him, halting his motion.
It was Jin Yue and Shi Wanyun behind him.
"What do you think you’re doing?" Shi Wanyu frowned and said, "Are you planning to step in just like that?"
"It’s too dangerous." Jin Yue said simply, but her viewpoint was clear.
"We definitely have to go in!" Zeng Tao had a different opinion from the two, "Are we just going to do nothing after opening the door and head back?"
"This door might lead us back to the surface." Lou Fei’Er also agreed with entering.
"There are other ways to return to the surface!" Shi Wanyun could no longer conceal the truth, "This definitely isn’t the way back to the surface!"
"...How do you know that... hey!" Lou Fei’Er suspiciously looked at Shi Wanyun, about to ask, when Xu Xin suddenly took a large stride and entered the door without hesitation.
Neither of the two behind him caught him.
Then, the universe-abyss-like purple-black exploded outward in all directions in an instant!
"Ah!"
"What..."
The women had no time to scream before being engulfed by the purple-black.
The purple-black space instantly filled the entire third level completely!
And in that moment, the group vanished without a trace.
...
Xu Xin, at this moment, seemed to be floating in a silent universe.
There was no sound around, only dead silence.
He could hear the sound of his heartbeat, his breathing, he could even hear the movement of his internal organs.
Yet, he was not alarmed by this; he slowly looked around, his breathing gradually calming.
He softly spoke, "I’m here."
"...You have finally arrived..."
At this time, a slightly indistinct enigmatic voice echoed throughout the space.
The voice seemed to come from all directions, with no identifiable source.
But this voice was so familiar to him.
It was a voice he heard every day.
"...Future me."
It was his own voice.
