The Door
As the door opens, a space so magnificent it leaves you speechless spreads out before your eyes. The ceiling soars high above, and the stars seem to twinkle. The walls pulsate as if they were alive, with light and shadow constantly shifting. And at the center of the space, the giant crystal orb you saw through the hole moments ago floats, radiating an overwhelming presence.
The crystal ball emits light in a variety of colors, filling the entire space. The hues are constantly shifting, making it feel as though I’m watching the aurora. And from the crystal ball, a beautiful, mysterious melody drifts out. It feels as though the melody is speaking directly to my soul, filling me with a deep sense of awe.
Even the old hunter is speechless at the sight. His eyes wide open, he stares at the crystal ball, simply standing there in a daze.
I approach the crystal ball. As I get closer, the melody grows louder, as if resonating with the beating of my own heart. Enveloped by the light emanating from the crystal ball, I feel as though I have become a part of the universe.
At that moment, a voice comes from within the crystal ball. It is a gentle, warm voice that resonates directly within my heart. “Well done for making it this far. You are the Chosen One. The light that dwells within your heart shall become the hope of the universe.”
I cannot hide my surprise. “Who are you…? Who on earth are you…?”
The voice replies, “I am the guardian of this crystal ball. And I am the keeper of the universe’s memories. You are one who understands the Words of Creation and wields their power. Your mission is to preserve the harmony of the universe.”
I reflect once more on my mission. As an immortal of Penglai, I have lived for many long years. And through various experiences, I have come to understand the power of the Words of Creation and have wielded that power. However, I have yet to find a clear answer regarding my mission.
I ask the crystal ball, “What exactly is my mission? What should I do?”
The crystal ball replies, “Your mission is something you must discover for yourself. Listen closely to your heart and seek what your soul desires. Then, use the power of the Words of Creation to clear the path. You possess the power necessary to protect the harmony of the universe. Believe and move forward.”
The crystal ball’s words resonate deeply within my heart. I must think seriously about my mission. And I must take action, using the power of the Words of Creation, to protect the harmony of the universe.
I bow deeply toward the crystal ball. “Thank you. With your words in my heart, I will seek my mission and do my utmost to protect the harmony of the universe.”
The crystal ball gently glows, blessing me. Then, a beautiful melody fills the air. As I listen to that melody, I reaffirm my resolve to fulfill my mission.
