"All the white jade steps eventually converge into one," Lin Yuan murmured, his expression one of realization.
It was both unexpected and yet made perfect sense.
If the white jade steps represented the path to transcendence, then did the thirty-three thousand three hundred and thirty-three steps signify thirty-three thousand three hundred and thirty-three chances to transcend? That seemed impossible.
Since the dawn of the infinite dimensions and realms, transcendence had been the ultimate goal of all temporal lords.
Yet, no lord had ever achieved it.
Even if the white jade steps truly were a path to transcendence, the number of those who could hope to transcend would be vanishingly small—certainly not thirty-three thousand three hundred and thirty-three.
This wasn’t just Lin Yuan’s speculation; other legendary lords shared the same thought, though none knew exactly how a transcendent would emerge.
"Let’s continue," Lin Yuan said, refocusing his thoughts and resuming his ascent.
He was still on one of the white jade steps, a long way from the single step formed by the convergence of all the others.
From his current position, he could only see it in the distance.
Climbing the white jade steps required patience; there was no shortcut or instant teleportation.
