Yuan swallowed nervously as he watched the faint light gradually approach his direction.

"Master… Is it really you?" The childish voice continued to resound in the darkness.

"I think you're mistaking me for someone else. This is my first time in this place." Yuan said.

"No…"

Once the light was right in front of him, it started transforming until it took the shape of a human with a child-like figure.

A few moments later, a cute little girl with long, glistening black hair that dragged on the floor stood before him.

She stared at him intensely with her sharp golden eyes and continued to speak, "While you have a different appearance, your soul is the same. You are definitely my Master. I will never mistake my Master for someone else."

"You don't remember me, Master?" She asked him after a moment of silence.

Yuan narrowed his eyes at this little girl and sighed inwardly, 'She's definitely talking about one of my past lives, right?'

After another moment of silence, Yuan asked, "Who or what are you?"

"Tian'er is the guardian of Stairway to Heaven."

"Guardian? Like its Master?"

"No, Tian'er is merely a guardian. I protect this place and uphold its integrity. Master… You are the real Master of the Stairway to Heaven. You really don't remember?"

"What? I am the Master of this place?" Yuan was left baffled by this information.

Just what kind of person was he in his past life? How did he become the Master of the Stairway to Heaven that connects the Nine Heavens?
