Stairway to Heaven

Hua Tuo held Zero by his hand as they ascended the stairs after crossing the portal at the Ten-Path Crossway. Zero knew that other domains and planes have started building connecting portals for the sake of convenience. However, their current method of travel doesn't seem too convenient. Shouldn't portals be automatic? Zero had only been through portals that opened from one point to another point. Nobody told him that there were portals that required travelling within the portal space!

The Sage God looked confident as he led the way. Zero followed closely behind and wondered how his teacher knew which staircase to take. IN this portal, there were millions of staircases leading to millions of mirrors. Zero had never seen a more confusing hub. These staircases moved at times and if they weren't careful, they would take the wrong flight of stairs.

"Where are we going?" he asked, finally unable to suppress the curiosity.
