“Hey, Chief Author upstairs!”
Standing atop the golden-tiled ridgepole of the [Gu Family Flying Courtyard Cosmic Ark]. Thirty-six-year-old Gu Changsheng held Empress Luo Qingxue’s hand with one hand and raised the shining, broth-forged [Key to the Final Gateway] toward the cosmic ceiling with the other!
His resonant voice echoed across all 1,000 Galaxies and straight up through the widened Golden Sky-Crack into the Supreme Origin Heaven:
“You tried to lock our 1,000-Galaxy Cluster inside a basement ink-well for ten million years, and when we refused to die on Page Three, you tried to weld the ceiling shut with black lightning! Too bad for you—my family forged your seven broken quills in a pot of chicken soup, and we have the master key to your front door right here!”
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!
With a single step of [Supreme Father & Mother Spatial Stride]. Gu Changsheng and Empress Luo Qingxue rose from the courtyard roof directly to the lip of the mile-wide Golden Sky-Crack at the apex of the 1,000th Central Galaxy!
There, barring the threshold between the 1,000-Galaxy Lower Ink-Well and the Supreme Origin Heaven (The Heavenly Script Pavilion), hung One Million Colossal, Rusty Dark-Gold Chains and Padlocks. The [1,000,000 Rank 10 Grimdark Fate-Locks] forged by the Chief Author of Fate at the dawn of the cosmos to prevent any lower-realm being from ever ascending uninvited!
