Then it was Max and the others' turn.
Damian walked forward first, his expression cold and steady. Revona followed with a faint smile, though her eyes carried the depth of someone stepping toward an old memory. Ervin took a deep breath and entered after her.
Rakan, Rosaline, Aurelian, and the others moved one by one, each carrying their own thoughts and ambitions.
Michael walked past Max and paused for a brief moment. He looked like he wanted to say something, but in the end he just snorted and stepped onto the bridge.
Max ignored him. His gaze stayed fixed on the entrance. Beyond that light waited the strongest young geniuses of five universes. Beyond that light waited danger, trials, ruins, enemies, inheritances, and maybe the path to the Eternal Body. It was a place where many geniuses would rise and many more would end up buried.
Max stepped forward. He didn't look back. With calm eyes, he walked into the entrance of the Godslayer's Pilgrimage.
