"Lost?" Jin Rou stopped in his tracks and said, "With my great skills, how can we be lost?"
Jin Rou feigned like he got this, that there's no need to worry about anything. They had been circling the entire area for who knew how many times now. This information was quite blurry as Han Li had little information regarding this.
In short, this was Jin Rou's own volition of coming here. Of course, it's not for a fun trip. There's a very vital reason why he was here.
After an hour, Sylvianna couldn't take it and spoke, "I knew it. We are lost. You must have a very little information regarding this cabin yet you still went here and even pulled me down without you."
It's not difficult to deduce something like this.
"I just need to find that clue. It's all what I need." Jin Rou was challenging himself to the limits. Furthermore, he was confident in his skills. Even if things got worse, he could just return and choose the next cabin.
"You are experimenting." Sylvianna grumbled. She had been with Jin Rou for a time now, and it's not difficult to think what he's doing at times, as long as he acted stupid.
The two kept on walking and walking despite being in circles. And after over a few hours, Jin Rou saw a floating light. It had small wings and blue colored.
"I told you." Jin Rou smirked as he saw this, "I just need this clue."
Sylvianna rolled her eyes. She knew the guy could make it. After all, he was too magical not to pull this kind of trick.
Jin Rou slowly neared the light and touched it gently without a second thought. Soon, the light glowed brightly as it flowed up to the sky.
"Wham!" Then, heavenly hymns could be heard and the sky showing glass stairs descending towards Jin Rou. The phenomenon was breathtaking and beautiful at the same time. However, there was an unknown and lingering warning bells ringing in their heads.
It was the warning of a danger. As a matter of fact, even Jin Rou was warned.
"If you want to warn me, warn me when you're here." Jin Rou snorted and climbed the stairs. Sylvianna followed suit closely.
The stairs were very long. It had been two hours since the two had started climbing it, yet they had yet to reach the end.
Infinity Stairs. It was the call of this mysterious stairs which popped out of nowhere. Although Jin Rou had less information regarding the cabin, Han Li had accumulated many information regarding the Infinity Stairs.
Currently, they were now at the top of the clouds. All types of clouds were here varying from different colors and darkness. But regarding the beauty, the thunder clouds topped all of them. With its different lightning colors every time it spur, it appeared like a rainbow in various colors and whatnot.
"We are in Infinity Stairs, so don't expect an ending to it here." Jin Rou said.
Sylvianna didn't understand what he meant but she bore it in her mind. Questions would just remain unanswered even if she asked, after all.

Three hours later, Jin Rou stopped climbing the stairs. They were already outside of the realm, revealing billions of stars and suns in the void space.
"This spot will do." Jin Rou spoke and nodded, "Hmm, right. This is it."
The little girl was puzzled but didn't ask, again, afraid that she would just be ignored.
"Bang!" Out of the blue, Jin Rou jumped with a heavy power and punched a part of the universe. The power of Jin Rou's punch made the space tremble, creating cracks all around the place.
"If you don't come out, I will destroy every star and suns you have in this space and I won't even bat an eye to it. Mind you." Jin Rou spoke with an aggressive and malicious tone. He was serious this time, as the aura in around him changed drastically.
"Who are you?" After hearing that, a figure slowly appeared in front of their eyes. They were no longer in the vast space, but rather in a place where a throne was at the peak of a stone tower.
The figure was a beautiful man with long hair. His features were, non arguable, top notch. With his beauty, he could topple many ancient empires and lineages even outside of the Dark Train.
The man used his eyes, trying to reveal all the mysteries of Jin Rou. However, it remained a thick fog in front of him. Nevertheless, he wasn't afraid. In fact, the man was very composed even after knowing he couldn't see through Jin Rou.
"Hmm, blue eyes and blue hair. I wasn't mistaken." Jin Rou smiled, "Pisces."
"Funny enough, there's still someone who recognized me despite me being here for millions of years now." The man smiled also as he looked at Jin Rou, "Indeed, I am Pisces. I doubt what might be your intention in going all the trouble to be here? Surely, you don't need someone so useless as me."
The word 'useless' sounded a sarcasm to himself.
"Useless? If you are useless, then the other Zodiacs are just a bunch of insects." Jin Rou chuckled, "To top it all, they won't be threatened as to kill your twin so that they can get a control over you."
Hearing this, Pisces' eyes flashed with a cold glint, "You know your stuff."
"But of course. I wouldn't be the strongest if I cannot know this." Jin Rou created a throne which was cooler and intimidating in the eyes, and sat there with a relaxed poise, "You see, I am here because I'm kind enough to offer you a deal, which of course, you will not lose."
The other party didn't answer, just observing Jin Rou. The atmosphere was getting tense and thick.
Jin Rou was smiling at the staring Pisces, waiting for his reply.
"Speak." Finally, Pisces answered, but his tone was cold. His guard was also raised to the extreme, ready for anything that could happen. This was his territory and it's virtually impossible to defeat him here.
