Chapter 666: The Hidden Truth
The moment Jelia stepped out of the passage, she was momentarily stunned.
Not from fear, but sheer astonishment.
The end of the passage opened abruptly into a vast cavern, reminiscent of stepping into a magnificent hall.
At the end of the passage, all traces of humanity forcefully erased, leaving behind only the silent beauty of nature.
Countless conical crystals stretched down from the cave ceiling, their own faint luminescence providing the sole source of light within the cavern.
The glossy, semi-transparent stalactites drooped from the ceiling, their dark light refracting and scattering through the mist to emit a deep blue luster, akin to a clear night sky.
At the tips of the stalactites, water droplets gathered before shining brightly in the darkness, mirroring the twinkling stars above.
Just the cave ceiling alone painted a breathtakingly beautiful nightscape.
Beneath the "nightscape" lay a tranquil, deep lake, its edges invisible even to Jelia with her extraordinary vision.
She could only see the mist-like vapors that hovered and shifted over the water.
Droplets gathered on the stalactites above, eventually captured by gravity, plunging into the lake with a sound.
