The Power of Faith

The stairs were neither narrow nor wide. It was possible for Xue Wei to walk with Lan by his side, but neither of them spoke.

Although the descent was done in complete darkness, the two were not worried about slipping on the steps and falling, as their eyes were able to at least see the next meter in front of them.

The air within the staircase was not humid nor dry. It did not feel unpleasant to walk further and further down under the ground. Instead, the air felt as it had above ground, and even the steps were covered in sand. The only difference was the complete lack of light.

The stairs went deep into the ground before they ended in a long tunnel. The tunnel was the same width and height as the staircase, and the walls were smooth and felt pleasant to the touch.

Even here, beneath the sandy desert, no life could be found. There were no signs of insects, snakes, or the like, and the silence was overwhelming.
