The Celestial Pillar is not a smooth column; it seems more like a mountain.
The reason it seems so is that, as a mountain, it is too "narrow."
This mountain is of the same width from top to bottom, rising straight up, beyond sight.
Li Rui stood in the distance watching the pillar with some awe, not because of the pillar, but because of the collapsed void atop it.
The space here seemed as if it were a mapping error, with abrupt extrusions in an otherwise continuous scene, incongruous with its surroundings.
This is the issue with the Celestial Pillar: the heaven it supports has collapsed.
The entire Celestial Pillar Plateau has turned into a desolate wasteland, where no living beings exist anymore.
Even one of the three divisions of the Upper Realm cannot preserve itself in the face of a collapsing sky.
Li Rui swiftly moved forward and arrived under the Celestial Pillar in an instant.
