Their future is full of unknowns, but their hearts are full of expectations.

In the mysterious chaos, Hong Meng and Jiang Han's figures are like two bright lights. In front of them is a mysterious ladder and a door full of unknowns. Their actions have aroused the attention and speculation of countless gods, and the challenges they are about to face have also filled the whole world with tension and expectations.

After walking for an unknown distance, Hong Meng finally stopped. Jiang Han followed him all the way and also stopped. Finally, he stood side by side with Hong Meng and looked upward.

"What...what is that place?"

"I really want to escape from this world and take a walk in the chaotic space where Lord Hongmeng and the Lord of Jiangmen are!"

"But what exactly does Lord Hongmeng want the Jiangmen Sect Master to help him with? Is there anything in this world that even he can't solve?"

"Look at the river in front of Master Hongmeng, going upstream!"

……

The three supreme gods, the three rule masters, and the gods of all planes stared at the picture in the sky, their mouths wide open, their faces full of disbelief. In the picture, Hong Meng and Jiang Han came to an unknown place, and there was a slanted ladder above their heads.

Below the ladder, there is a long river emitting light, accompanied by lightning, flowing upwards along the ladder. It is very wide, silvery white, and also has a little golden light. The river is very wide and the water is very calm, and you can't see the end at a glance. However, there are some corpses floating in the river, but if you look closely, these corpses actually retain their appearance when they were alive, without any decay. Obviously, these people were once terrible and powerful.

On both sides of the ladder were brilliant golden lights, and in the golden light, dense avenue runes were floating up and down, releasing mysterious fluctuations of breath. It was like an isolated passage, wrapping the ladder. Looking closely, at the end of the ladder was a huge round door. This door was not made of so-called metal, but a ripple door with multiple colors interwoven.

Jiang Han looked at Hong Meng calmly, his heart full of doubts. With his ultimate combat power fully activated, his current cultivation was at the peak of the eighth level of Quasi-Immortal Emperor. And the fluctuation of Hong Meng's aura should also be at the eighth level of Quasi-Immortal Emperor, not far from the ninth level. With such strength, even in the battlefield of Jiehai where all the strong gathered, it would be a top existence. Jiang Han actually had no confidence in what Hong Meng could not accomplish, after all, the two of them were roughly equal in strength.

"Follow me up the ladder and help me open that door!" Hong Meng pointed at the round door at the end of the ladder, which was formed by ripples of various colors. Just as Jiang Han nodded in response to Hong Meng, a system voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Source power?" Jiang Han murmured, then frowned and looked at the ladder. In front of him, apart from the ladder and the door, there was only hazy chaos. It took a long time to travel from the five worlds created by Hongmeng to the current location. If this source power is related to the hazy chaos, the marking task would have been started earlier, instead of waiting until now. In other words, the source power mentioned by the system must be related to this ladder and the door!
Jiang Han came back to his senses and followed Hong Meng. Just as he and Hong Meng stepped onto the stairs, the entire chaotic void trembled suddenly, and suddenly a strange buzzing sound was heard. This sound seemed to come from the underworld, which made people's scalps numb. If an ordinary god was here, he would probably turn into ashes in less than half a second. Even a strong master would not be able to survive under this sound wave. However, this extremely terrifying sound wave shattered directly with a hissing sound when it approached Hong Meng and the leader of Jiangmen.

At this moment, the long ladder and the door at the end began to vibrate, making a hissing sound. Rumble! Just as Jiang Han and Hong Meng were standing on the first step, the slowly flowing river below suddenly became violent and turned into a surging river. The sound of the waves crashing was soul-stirring, and the water puddles and waves that were occasionally raised were like huge mouths that were ready to devour people.

The bright lights on both sides also changed, and suddenly turned into a vast and boundless territory. This was a blood-red world, with a pungent smell of blood lingering around, which was a bit nauseating. The land that stretched as far as the eye could see was all dyed red by blood. Then, a dark mass of chaotic shadows surged from the end of the territory. They seemed to be crazy and seemed to have received some kind of order, and they rushed towards Jiang Han and Hong Meng frantically.

“This…what’s going on!?”

"How come it suddenly turned into a Shura battlefield?"

"What on earth are those things wrapped in hazy chaos? Could it be that Master Hongmeng also has enemies?"

"What exactly do Lord Hongmeng and Master Jiangmen want to do?"

"By the way, what is behind that door?!"

……

A group of powerful gods stared at the scene in the sky in a daze. When the golden light on both sides of the ladder turned into a brand new world, they held their breath, their eyes filled with deep astonishment. "There are always people beyond people, and there are always heavens beyond heavens... Could it be that you are referring to the back of that door..." The Lord of Death remembered what Jiang Han had said to her, and stared at the door at the end of the ladder in a trance, as if he had lost his soul.

In the chaotic void, Hong Meng seemed to have experienced this scene countless times, and his face did not show any emotion. As for Jiang Han, he frowned. Of course, he was not afraid of these black shadows wrapped in chaos, but this ladder was indeed not what it seemed on the surface.

"These are the lowest level Chaos Beasts!" Hong Meng glanced at the Chaos Beasts that were attacking from all directions, said a few words to Jiang Han, and waved his sleeves. Suddenly, tens of thousands of Chaos Beasts screamed at the same time, and blood burst out all over the sky. The scarlet blood of the beasts made the land here darker and redder. If these Chaos Beasts were placed in the Yulan Continent, even the weakest one would be an absolute overlord. But in the eyes of Jiang Han and Hong Meng, they were nothing at all, no different from ants. As the Chaos Beasts collapsed, this world also shattered, and turned into a golden light guarding the ladder again. Almost at the same time, the Tianhe below the ladder became quiet again and flowed slowly. Boom! But just when Hong Meng and Jiang Han stepped onto the second step, a scene similar to the previous one was staged again. However, this time the world was misty, with birds singing and flowers blooming, like a fairyland on earth.

"Interesting." Looking at the world changing again in front of him, Jiang Han couldn't help but smile: "It seems that every time I step on a step, I have to go through a new world."

"Yes, this process is indeed a bit cumbersome." Hong Meng smiled and shrugged: "This ladder has a total of 100 steps. Daoist friends, just watch the first 98 steps. I need your help on the last two steps." Jiang Han nodded slightly, and his curiosity about the ladder became stronger. He knew that this seemingly simple ladder actually hid countless dangers and secrets. Each step represented a different world, and what kind of challenges and opportunities were hidden in these worlds?
As Hong Meng and Jiang Han continued to step onto the stairs, one wonderful world after another appeared before them. One world was a land of blazing fire, with raging fire burning everything; one world was a cold kingdom of ice and snow, with biting cold winds and ice covering thousands of miles; one world was a mysterious magic forest, full of magical creatures and magical powers; one world was a land of ancient ruins, hiding countless treasures and secrets...

Each world is full of challenges and dangers, but Hong Meng and Jiang Han easily cope with these challenges with their strong strength and firm belief. They shuttled through the worlds, as if exploring the mysteries of the universe. In the process, Jiang Han was constantly thinking about what the source power in the system task was, and its relationship with the ladder and the door.

As they continued to advance, the worlds on the stairs became more and more powerful and dangerous. In some worlds, powerful beasts appeared, which had the power to destroy the world; in some worlds, mysterious formations appeared, which needed to be cracked before they could move forward; in some worlds, powerful enemies appeared, whose strength was not inferior to Hong Meng and Jiang Han...

However, no matter what challenges they encountered, Hong Meng and Jiang Han did not back down. They cooperated with each other to face these challenges together. Hong Meng relied on his control over chaos to resolve various dangers; Jiang Han relied on his strong strength and wisdom to find ways to solve the problems.

In this process, Jiang Han gradually understood why Hong Meng needed his help. The challenge on the ladder is not only a test of strength, but also a test of will and wisdom. Although Hong Meng is powerful, he also needs a partner with equal strength to face these challenges together. And Jiang Han is exactly the person he needs.

As they continued to move forward, they finally reached the 98th step. At this time, the world in front of them became more mysterious and dangerous. This world was filled with powerful chaotic forces, as if it was going to swallow everything. Hong Meng and Jiang Han stood on the steps, feeling this powerful force, and their hearts were full of vigilance.

"This is the last world, and also the most dangerous one." Hong Meng looked at Jiang Han and said seriously, "This world is full of chaotic power. We must be careful. Once we are swallowed by the chaotic power, we will be lost in this world forever."

Jiang Han nodded. He knew that this was their last challenge. He had to go all out and defeat this world together with Hongmeng to complete the system task and obtain the power of the source. So, they took a deep breath and stepped into this world full of chaotic power...

In the mysterious chaotic void, Hong Meng and Jiang Han stood on the 99th step of the ladder, with a vast starry sky in front of them. Their opponent was a mysterious purple-robed man with great strength, and the white stone behind him exuded a mysterious power. This duel was not only related to Hong Meng's goal, but also to the evolution of Jiang Han's system and the secret behind the ripple round door.

Rumble!
Just as the gods were sighing that the world where Hong Meng and Jiang Han lived was like a fairyland, the void suddenly roared. Then, a violent wind blew, the mist was blown away, and the earth trembled. Countless giants wrapped in hazy air rushed over like a tsunami, as if the sky was about to collapse and the earth was about to split. The world was shaking, as if it was about to collapse at any time.

"These are Chaos Giants." Hong Meng's robe fluttered as he spoke calmly to Jiang Han. His terrifying might spread out, and his terrifying killing aura was like the surging waves of the sea. In an instant, tens of thousands of Chaos Giants were swallowed up. In the end, in the dazzling blood light, these giants were crushed into meat paste, and their bodies and souls were destroyed.

The world evolved on the second step disappeared, and Hong Meng and Jiang Han stepped onto the third step. With a loud bang, a new world appeared. It was shrouded in black fog, and it was pitch dark. The air was filled with the sounds of ghosts and wolves howling. In the darkness, pairs of scarlet blood-red eyes could be vaguely seen. This was a strange and unknown existence. Through the chaos, it was vaguely seen that their bodies were humanoid, with six pairs of wings behind them. However, just as these creatures swept towards Hong Meng and Jiang Han, the former's eyes condensed, and the terrifying eyes were as vast as the sky and the sea, like the universe. In an instant, the pairs of blood-red eyes in the darkness dimmed, and the translucent bodies also shattered and exploded one by one, and this third world disappeared.

……

Similar scenes repeated themselves. Hong Meng and Jiang Han climbed up the ladder, destroying one world after another. Of course, Hong Meng was the one who did it all, and Jiang Han was just a spectator from beginning to end. But even though he had already stepped onto the 50th step, the life and death of the creatures in that world was just a matter of a thought in Hong Meng's eyes.

"Master Hongmeng is so strong! If it were us, we probably wouldn't even be able to get over the first step!"

“Although the Jiang Sect leader did not take action, judging from his nonchalant expression, it is clear that he did not take those creatures seriously.”

"By the way, was this ladder formed naturally in the chaos like Lord Hongmeng, or was it created by someone?"

"If it's the latter, then it's really too terrifying! One level, one world. How terrifying must the strength of the creator be? Maybe even stronger than Lord Hongmeng!"

……

Many powerful people from the five worlds looked at the picture revealed in the sky and exclaimed, their eyes filled with surprise. Their hearts were filled with shock and awe, and they admired the strength of Hong Meng and Jiang Han. At the same time, they were also full of curiosity about the origin of this ladder, wondering who created such a mysterious and powerful existence.

As time went by, Hong Meng and Jiang Han climbed up the ladder. The eighty-eighth step, the eighty-nineth step, the ninetieth step... The higher they went, the more powerful the creatures in the world evolved by the ladder became. (End of this chapter)
