The sun circled and the seasons changed. Guo Jiahui continued to carry Li Qiye towards the peak of the divine mountain, one step at a time.

She exerted so much sweat and effort but was paid back with maturity - a transformation akin to a cocoon turning into a butterfly.

She didnt even notice the cycle of the sun and moon. There was only a firm conviction in her mind - reaching the peak! This mindset of hers grew stronger the more she climbed.
