Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 279 Bronze Gate

A fierce look flashed across Li Zhi's eyes.

However, Yi Meng's expression was like a stagnant pool of water, without the slightest ripple.

He was still so calm and indifferent, and spoke slowly, his tone as if he was slowly explaining an indisputable fact: "Once chosen by the dream, no one can change the result... Not even me."

His voice echoed in the silent wooden house, carrying an indescribable sense of emptiness and helplessness.

Hearing this, Li Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly. He said, "So, this is why you are trapped here?"

He stared at Yi Meng closely, trying to find some clues or flaws from his expressionless face.

Yi Meng saw that Li Zhi no longer played chess, and a hint of disappointment appeared on his face. The disappointment flashed away, and then he sighed softly and said, "Maybe, I can't remember clearly."

Li Zhi frowned and continued to ask: "If that's the case, why don't you follow the guidance of the dream and go to where it wants you to go?"

As soon as Li Zhi finished speaking, Yi Meng's face turned pale, revealing a very obvious fear. His body began to tremble slightly.

He shook his head desperately, and said in a trembling voice: "No... I won't go... I won't go..."

Yi Meng's eyes were filled with fear and despair, as if that place was the most terrifying hell in the world, and once stepped in, there would be no escape.

The strange dream made Li Zhi feel a little uneasy. He really couldn't imagine what could make this strange person in front of him so scared.

At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from outside the house. The sound seemed to contain a strange charm, like an invisible magic, which made Li Zhi instantly have a strong urge to rush out and respond immediately.

Just when Li Zhi was about to lose control of the impulse, he inadvertently glanced at Yi Meng who was still shivering beside him.

Seeing Yi Meng's terrified look, Li Zhi suddenly grabbed Yi Meng's hand and whispered, "Come on! Follow me out and take a look!"

Yi Meng was frightened by Li Zhi's sudden action and screamed. He struggled desperately, trying to break free from Li Zhi's hand, but his weak strength could not match Li Zhi's strength.

In the end, he was dragged out of the house by Li Zhi.

When he came out of the house, Li Zhi couldn't help but gasp at the scene in front of him.

At this time, the picturesque blue sky and green land had disappeared without a trace, replaced by dark clouds in the sky.

Those dark clouds were like a huge black curtain, covering the entire sky tightly, making people feel as if the end of the world was coming.

The originally green grass on the ground has quickly withered and turned yellow, as if the vitality of life had been drained away, leaving only death and desolation.

Not far away, a huge and mysterious black hole is constantly rotating.

The black hole is like a portal to an unknown world, emitting a strong suction force that makes people shudder.

Li Zhi's feet were firmly planted on the ground, but he was still moving slowly towards the black hole uncontrollably. He could clearly feel a powerful force pulling him, as if it was going to swallow him up completely.

Yi Meng was held tightly by Li Zhi. At this moment, he was so scared that his face was covered with tears and snot, and he looked extremely miserable.

He kept begging Li Zhi to let him go, his voice was full of tears, despair and helplessness: "Please, let me go..."

But Li Zhi didn't even look at him, but stared at the black hole with his eyes, revealing a hint of solemnity and determination. He said in a deep voice: "Is that where the dream wants us to go?"

His voice seemed particularly low in this strange environment, as if he was talking to himself, or as if he was confirming a strange dream.

Yi Meng nodded helplessly with a sad face. His body was still shaking, as if he had been completely taken over by fear.

Li Zhi's eyes flickered, and he was constantly weighing and calculating in his mind.

In this situation, he was in a dilemma, not knowing whether to run back to the cabin and hide, or directly enter the black hole.

In fact, he did not really believe what Yi Meng said. In his heart, apart from himself, he only believed 30% of other people at most, not to mention Yi Meng, a strange person whom he met for the first time.

Li Zhi kept thinking in his mind, when he inadvertently glanced at Yi Meng, who was still extremely frightened and begging Li Zhi to let him go back.

Li Zhi's heart suddenly moved, and a trace of determination flashed across his eyes for a moment. Without any hesitation, he grabbed Yi Meng's hand and rushed towards the black hole.

His figure was like a flash of lightning, cutting through the dark and strange space, and rushing towards the unknown black hole without hesitation.

The next moment, Li Zhi pulled Yi Meng and plunged into the black hole.

Li Zhi felt as if he had broken through a thin membrane. In an instant, his whole body suddenly became lighter, as if he had gotten rid of some invisible restraints. Then, he clearly felt that his feet were firmly on the ground.

Before Li Zhi could recover from this sudden change, he keenly noticed that the strange dream that he had been holding tightly in his hand suddenly disappeared.

Li Zhi quickly turned his head to look, but found that Yi Meng was no longer around, only an empty silence.

Although Li Zhi felt that this matter was extremely strange and bizarre, he knew very well that this was not the time to dwell on it. He slowly raised his head and looked around with alertness and curiosity.

All I saw was an ordinary cave with jagged rocks on the walls, and a damp and cold atmosphere.

Ahead was an extremely simple passage, which was narrow and rugged. There were still some traces of digging on the walls, as if it had been dug out bit by bit by someone alone.

Li Zhi frowned slightly, a hint of doubt arose in his heart, but he did not hesitate at all and strode directly into the passage.

After passing through the passage, Li Zhi was stunned by the scene in front of him.

What appeared before his eyes was actually an ancient and heavy bronze door.

The bronze gate was tall and majestic, about two or three feet high, standing there like a small mountain.

The door is carved with all kinds of strange, weird and ferocious beast patterns. The beasts are lifelike with bared fangs and claws, as if they will jump out from the door at any time and devour people.

Li Zhi only took a glance and could feel the strong murderous aura emanating from these ferocious beasts. The aura was as solid as a substance and it made him feel a little cold in his heart.

Looking at this bronze door that exuded endless mystery and majesty, Li Zhi felt a sense of uneasiness for some reason.

Li Zhi walked slowly towards the bronze gate.

When he got closer, he saw a few lines of words carved by someone on the ground below the bronze gate.

Li Zhi looked carefully and saw the following words written on it:

In mortal form...

Knock on the Heaven's Gate...

Soul sacrifice...

Casting the throne...

Suddenly, an extremely strong impulse surged in Li Zhi's heart like a surging tide.

The impulse came with such force, like a wild beast out of control, that it instantly broke through his inner defenses, causing him to lose control of his knees and fall to his knees in front of the bronze gate with a plop.

Li Zhi opened his eyes wide, filled with fear and struggle.

The blue veins on his forehead wriggled like earthworms, as if he was wrestling fiercely with that invisible force.

He used all his strength to try to control his uncontrollable body, but his body was still out of his control and slowly fell towards the bronze door.

Despite Li Zhi's fierce resistance with a red face, his head still hit the ground heavily.

"Boom!" A dull sound echoed in the silent space, as if it was the opening gong of some mysterious ceremony.

After Li Zhi bowed his head, he suddenly felt dizzy, as if everything around him was shaking. His vision became blurred, and the scene in front of him seemed to be distorted into a ball.

The next moment, to Li Zhi's shock, the bronze door that had been tightly closed was slowly opening.

With a low and heavy "creak" sound, the door slowly opened, and an eerie and fierce ancient atmosphere blew in from inside the door.
