Tang Ling placed his hands on the ball-shaped hub and the hub instantly shone with a faint light.
This was the core of the dream, the Nirvana Tower, so it was not strange for anything to happen. For example, when Tang Ling's gaze fell on the spherical hub, it automatically descended and floated in front of Tang Ling's chest.
According to Kun's rules, only one person could enter the Nirvana Tower at a time. He explained that everyone would face different challenges, which was rare for him.
"It won't waste any time," he added.
Fine, if Kun said so.
Without a doubt, Tang Ling became the first person again. He would be the first to enter the Nirvana Pagoda, and all the other young men quietly lined up behind Tang Ling.
The light flickered, and for some reason, at this moment? Tang Ling kept thinking about the Hell Ledge Challenge in Darkness Port. He had a feeling that both challenges were somehow related.
However, before he could think further, the spherical hub suddenly produced a strange suction force. The suction force did not suck away Tang Ling's strength or his body. Instead, it sucked away Tang Ling's consciousness.
Tang Ling's mind went blank. In the deepest part of his heart, he had a strange feeling that he was being seen through. It was a feeling that he strongly resisted.
However, before he could react, he lost consciousness in the next moment. When he came back to his senses, he was no longer in front of the door but in a circular corridor.
From the young lad's point of view, all Tang Ling did was place his hand on the spherical hub before he vanished.
**
Even though his consciousness was instantly sucked away, his brain was still a little dizzy after he recovered. However, Tang Ling's vision was not affected.
He was in a strange circular corridor. The floor was paved with simple wooden planks, but when he stepped on it, it felt like metal.
On the left side, beyond the corridor, nothing could be seen clearly. All that could be seen were patches of gray fog.
On the right-hand side, there was a wall carved with various totems and strange patterns that looked like super-technological patterns.
Looking ahead, one could occasionally see a huge window on the wall, but it was closed.
"It seems like I'm at the corridor of the first floor of the Nirvana Tower." Two to three seconds later, Tang Ling came back to his senses and raised his guard.
After all, a fight could break out at any moment in this mysterious place. Tang Ling was used to maintaining his best form in battle, so he instinctively reached for the leather pouch at his waist out of habit.
Right now, he needed Vicious Beast Jerky. There were three to five pieces of Level Four Vicious Beast Jerky in the small leather pouch. He could keep them in his mouth and swallow them at critical moments to replenish his energy at any time.
Devouring vicious beast meat was still painful, but the pain was negligible at the moment.
However, in the next moment, his face turned sour because the moment he touched the leather pouch, an electronically synthesized voice echoed in his ears.
"This is against the rules! Warning, violation of rules! "
How could it be against the rules? Isn't this the rule of the Dream Domain? The Dream Domain would project all the items that he brought with him in the real world.
Could this really be reality? Not a dream?
Tang Ling was in disbelief as he pulled the leather pouch at his waist. Another notification popped up. 'Item Bag Sealed'.
The damned voice echoed in his ears again, warning him that he would be punished for breaking the rules three times.
Tang Ling dared not force himself anymore. Otherwise, before the battle even started, he would be punished for no reason, which would be disadvantageous for him.
However, with a depressed mood, Tang Ling carefully searched his belongings and realized that not only was the leather pouch at his waist sealed, but so was his backpack. All he could use was his weapon and the armor that belonged to a Purple Moon Warrior that hung around his neck.
"Which means I can't use any support items, including firearms. All I can use are the weapons and armor from the Purple Moon era. "Tang Ling soon got the answer, and he could not help but feel even more depressed.
It meant that everyone who entered the Dream Domain had to rely on their own strength in the battle.
After all, even if a Purple Moon Warrior had a superalloy weapon, it would still be limited. As for the armor, it might have enhanced its defense, but it was not even comparable to the standard armor of a Rank 1 Purple Moon Warrior.
"Whatever." Tang Ling was depressed after realizing the situation, but he could accept it. He was even a little excited. How far could he go in the Nirvana Tower?
He only had an hour. After getting some basic information, Tang Ling dared not waste any more time, so he strode forward.
The strange thing was, as Tang Ling moved forward, the patterns on the wall on his right seemed to come alive and started to flow.
Tang Ling was not too surprised by the phenomenon because it was not the first time he saw the flowing veins. The veins on the bone that the owner of the deserted island gave him could also flow.
However, did it mean that the Nirvana Tower had officially opened? Tang Ling walked faster and faster as he started to run.
As he ran, something even stranger happened. The various totem patterns on the wall seemed to come alive and were watching Tang Ling's every move. Tang Ling could even feel their eyes moving as if they were sizing him up.
"Is one of them going to jump down and fight me?" The thought popped up in Tang Ling's mind. He could not help but glance at the strange totem patterns on the wall. He could not tell what they were.
What made him speechless was that when he looked at them, they returned to their normal totemic patterns and did not move at all.
Was it an illusion? Was it haunted? Everything was possible. Anyway, they were in a dream, so what couldn't happen?
Tang Ling did not care anymore. Instead, he hastened his steps and sprinted down the corridor. He had yet to enter the tower, so he did not have the time to study everything in the corridor.
**
On the screen, Tang Ling was sprinting down the corridor.
The young men on the halo were gone. The halo and the door were gone, which meant that all the young men had entered the Nirvana Tower.
"Looking forward to it? Who will Tang Ling provoke when he's on the first floor? " Kun was curled up comfortably on a single-seater sofa beside Ya. His face was filled with anticipation.
Ya did not answer Kun's question. Instead, he looked at the big screen in silence. As a matter of fact, on the screen, only a few people were still searching and running in the corridor while the rest had entered the tower.
What did it mean? It meant that most of the young men's strength and hidden talents had not reached a certain standard. It was a worrisome fact.
The worrisome fact made people reminisce about the distant past. It was a glorious and majestic era.
"Something is bothering you," Kun said after a glance at Ya.
Ya shrugged but did not answer.
Instead, Kun sighed and said, "Yes. There's not much time left, but the current situation makes people doubt the future. However, I think if the stars aren't bright enough, it's because the night hasn't truly arrived yet. "
"Are you saying that the current era isn't dark enough?" Ya raised his hand and a glass of red wine appeared in his hand. His gaze was a little unfocused as he swirled the glass in his hand.
As a matter of fact, only he and Kun knew that it had been a long time since the last time the Nirvana Tower was opened. It was so long that both of them lost track of the time.
Now, everything in the world pointed to the fact that the conditions to open the Nirvana Tower had not been met, but they were left with no other choice.
Under such circumstances, the Nirvana Tower was forcefully opened. Even though they knew they should not have high hopes, after all, they could not help but look forward to it.
However, judging from the current situation, they should not be looking forward to it at all.
Ya was thinking about his own thoughts in silence. The red wine in his glass left traces on the transparent crystal glass.
Compared to Ya, Kun's eyes were a lot brighter. "It's not that the era isn't dark enough. It's that the pressure hasn't reached a certain threshold.
If it does, the night will come and the stars will shine. "
"Is that what you believe?" Ya raised his glass and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Other than believing, do we have any other choice?" As he spoke, Kun shifted his gaze away from Tang Ling and landed it on a certain young man.
At this moment, one could clearly see the young man's puzzled expression as he ran across the corridor. The eyes of one of the totemic patterns that brushed past him suddenly lit up.
"Hmm, interesting." Ya's expression turned a little better. The young man was none other than Han Xing.
Kun moved his finger and the totem pattern that shone brightly was enlarged. It clearly appeared in the center of the giant screen with many smaller images.
At this moment, one could clearly see that the totem pattern was a strange image of a half-squatting figure with its legs spread apart and its arms hanging down, crossing each other.
What was even stranger was that this totem creature's head was like a rugby ball. There was a sharp arc protruding from the top of its head, and it had crossed arms. One of its forearms was like a broadsword, while the other was like a thin sword.
Other than that, its body shape barely resembled a human, but the proportions were a little weird.
"Not that disappointed anymore, right? I can't believe it lit up this guy. " Kun smiled happily. Coupled with her beautiful face, her smile was as charming as Higan's. Kun then added, "That's right.
He continued, "Oh, right. He circled the first floor corridor seven times. What do you think?"
Ya's eyes shone brighter.
