Chapter 718: The Tower Operation Explanation
“Those are the descendants of the envoys of light…” she whispered to Zeras when they got far enough, as Zeras’s eyes narrowed for a few seconds before shrugging it off.
While he was truly curious as to why they seemingly didn’t like the fact that they were talking about them, since one of their ancestors removed the eyes of the god of mischief.
Wasn’t that a good thing? Why were they seemingly angry at others for mentioning it?
But still, Zeras couldn’t care much about it and just ignored it, before continuing his look around the hall.
There still was no door or any other exit to the hall.
That revealed for the time being, they were all still trapped here, but Zeras could guess the reason for that.
He could still see some otherworlders appearing randomly, which means not everyone was fully inside the door.
They would probably all be here once the hall was filled to the brim.
And it didn’t take long for the hall to quickly get filled as the number of otherworlders entering the room became zero.Only then did light bloom on top of the statue, and a very small creature appeared. A creature that made Zeras raise an eyebrow.
It was a female creature, small, humanoid, with two butterfly-sized wings. It looked no different from a human at all, and every flap of its wings created sprinkles of starlight around it, making Zeras raise an eyebrow at the familiarity.
Of course, it was none other than a faerie! He had thought they were mythical creatures back on Earth, but who would have guessed he would be seeing one right now, in the upper realm!
“Welcome, awakeners, to the Tower of God!” she declared, her voice unusually larger than she looked, and every one of them turned their attention to her.
Unlike Zeras, who found surprise at her, the other otherworlders didn’t seem to be that much surprised at her figure.
They had probably known about her before now, and that unsettled him more than normal.
Just what else do they all know that he still wasn’t aware of? An advantage of knowledge wasn’t something that could be easily offset by strength.
“Welcome, participants, to another century of the God’s Tower trial. A trial where every one of your dreams can come true if you dare to climb it to its top! A tower where nothing is impossible.
Cultivation manuals, battle techniques, god-grade treasures? Medicinal cures?
Everything you wish for is present within this tower, and it is all free for you to take away.
All you have to do is reach the highest tower, and you would have everything you want.
Without wasting time with promises, I’ll do a quick revision of the process for those who are only joining this tower for the first time…” the faerie called out.
“Firstly, there are a total of nine floors present in this tower.
And every tower floor itself is a test that must be passed before one is allowed to move to the next higher one.
Going down is impossible; you can only ascend.
After every tower challenge you complete, you will be transported into a reward room that holds some of your deepest desires.
There, you will be able to take your rewards, anything you like and want…”
“Don’t get fooled, it’s not as easy as she described…” the short girl suddenly whispered to him as Zeras furrowed his eyebrows and whispered back to her.
“Oh really?”
“Yes. The majority of the time after passing the test on each tower, you will truly be transported into the reward room.
But you just don’t get to pick what you want, because what you want, others also want it.
It will be a bloodbath as everyone already knows the best rewards that are placed in the tower and will definitely fight for it!
If you’re not careful, you will die to someone’s blade rather than the tower trials…” she gravely warned as Zeras hummed slightly in his head. Her words made sense.
The cultivators were greedy, and whatever you want, others also want.
In the end, it will come down to one with the best ability, and that could only be determined by causing a massive bloodbath.
“Also to note that the reward section of the tower is only available for an hour.
After which, you will be teleported to the next trial.
If you don’t want to move to the next tower, all you have to do is simply will to leave, and in the next instant, you will disappear from the tower and land outside.
But this can only be used in the reward room and not in the trial ground…” she continued, and the girl tapped at his hand once more.
“That is our special saving grace. Once you’re about to get killed by your opponent due to a fight for the reward, all you have to do is simply will to disappear away from the place.
That means those who have the treasure can simply decide to disappear with it, but that also means they will be forfeiting their chance to go to the next floor.
But still, it can come in handy when you’re at death’s door. Your life is more important than some reward, isn’t it?” she whispered to Zeras, who nodded.
She was once more right.
“Also, it is important to note that every reward room is always greater than the one below it by a factor of two! That holds true for the grade of the rewards or treasure.
It will always be doubly better than the one in the lower floor. So I will advise everyone to try to climb as far as they can through the floors.
A single powerful treasure might just be enough to completely change your life.
But it is also noteworthy that the trial difficulties also increase as you go higher, same as the rewards, and also if you die in the trials, you die truly and can never be brought back to life!”
