"The little girl from the Poseidon family is starting to show her prowess." Ya moved his body and switched the position of his crossed legs. He looked at Samuel on the screen and said with a faint smile.
"Is it really good for you to be a carefree shopkeeper instead of watching over your shop?" Kun looked at Ya with a disdainful gaze.
"You sound like you're not a carefree shopkeeper." Ya raised a curious brow.
"Of course not. Do you think I won't do the business myself later?" Kun said confidently.
"Hmph." Ya simply chuckled.
"She doesn't have a prowess. All she has is a knot in her heart," Kun suddenly said without a sign.
"What?" Ya was stunned for a moment, but when he looked at Samuel on the screen, he quickly understood what Kun meant. "Yes, a knot in her heart. As a matter of fact, compared to the mermaids, her talent is much better. If it wasn't for her disdain for her talent all these years, she would have achieved amazing results a long time ago.
"A mixed-blood has a higher chance of producing better offspring, so it's normal for her to have amazing talent." Kun then sighed. "She's stupid, and so are the mermaids. Unfortunately, we can't tell you some secrets because it involves too many things. Still, the final plan has been initiated, and that day is not far away. "
"Hmm." Ya lazily curled up on the chair. "Even if she's stupid, why doesn't she know why the Poseidon family exists? If it's really like what she thinks, why would the mermaids and humans have mixed-blood offspring? "
"Hmm, she doesn't understand science, so she doesn't know what reproductive isolation is," Kun suddenly said.
Ya was choked by Kun's words. He did not know what to say at the moment. The so-called reproductive isolation on this planet and the real law of life extension in the universe were two different things, yet Kun was able to make it sound so convincing!
He did not want to waste time with Kun, so he flipped through the screens of the young geniuses' battles and muttered to himself, "Liszt cleared the seventh floor, Han Xing and Luo Li cleared the seventh floor, and the little fatty from the Ji family should have no problem too. I don't think Lancaster will have much of a problem either. There's still a bunch of young geniuses who might have a chance, like Samuel, who has temporarily let go of the knot in his heart, and the bunch of kids from Darkness Port and the True Capital …"
"The Nirvana Tower is full of surprises this time. With this result, we can pay a visit to the Elder Council and fight for more rights." Ya's eyes were unintentionally looking at Kun when he said that.
"Hmm, what are you trying to say?" Kun was annoyed by Ya's stare, so he glared at him and asked directly.
"Don't you want to know what happened to Tang Ling? After all, the hidden mechanism of the Nirvana Tower has been activated, so the elders will pay close attention to it. "Ya looked at Kun.
"No." Kun flung his sleeve. "I just need to wait for him to bring the Dream Coins to me."
Ya wanted to say something but was interrupted by Kun. "What do you mean by fighting for more authority?"
"Hmm, I have an idea. We should get involved in the world. " Ya looked deeply at Kun. "We don't have to get involved too deeply, but … like the War God Path or something, what do you think?"
When Kun heard that, he looked deeply at Ya and said word by word, "You seem to be enlightened all of a sudden."
**
In a cave that looked very primitive.
A woman in a simple white linen robe with black hair like a waterfall and a perfect body was sitting cross-legged in the cave.
It was not a casual statement to say that the cave was primitive because the whole cave was built according to the position of the stones inside. With a little carving, they could be considered simple furniture.
The woman was sitting cross-legged on an irregular stone bed in the middle of the cave, and on top of the bed was a simple straw mat.
She was looking up at the ceiling of the cave, thinking about something. Following her gaze, there was a natural crack above the cave, and through the crack, one could clearly see the starry sky.
The starry sky was so clear here that every star seemed to have been magnified.
It was hard for one not to be mesmerized by the starry sky.
"Radix." It was then that an old man in a linen robe entered the simple cave. He looked at the woman, bowed respectfully, and called her name.
The woman came back to her senses and looked at the old man.
Her eyes were deep and glossy, and a single glance at her would cause one to feel like they were falling into her eyes.
The feeling of falling was not the kind of feeling that came from the world, but it was the real feeling of being sucked into her eyes.
Fortunately, the old man was very used to it. Not only was he resistant to the pair of eyes, but he was also able to deal with the woman named Radix, who had a perfect face that surpassed Higan and Wei Ying.
Yes, a truly perfect face, without a single flaw to be found.
However, it was such a perfect face that made one feel unreal. One could not find the liveliness of all the beautiful women in the world.
"After the opening of the Nirvana Giant Pagoda, everything is better than we had imagined." The old man first spoke about this matter.
"I've never been worried about that," said the woman. Her voice seemed to contain the vicissitudes of time.
If Tang Ling had heard this voice before, he would never forget it. He would know that this was the woman that Kun had to respect. She was the woman that everyone in the world heard when they entered the Dream Domain.
He would also know that she was the supreme existence in the Elder Council.
"Radix, why aren't you worried?" The old man was sincerely seeking an answer.
"The brightest thing in the genetic chain is the thing that should be passed down the most. The thing that has yet to be solved is a unique will that belongs to humans. This kind of will is not limited by strength, does not succumb to the environment, and does not fear despair. As long as it's squeezed, a miracle will happen. " As she spoke, the woman named Radix stood up from the stone bed and floated to the ground, but she was still looking at the starry sky. "Life will always be the last condensed essence of the laws of the universe, and we might have only scratched the surface of it.
"But even so, humanity has obtained the greatest gift of the universe."
"I understand," said the old man respectfully.
"How is the world?" Radix kept her gaze away from the starry sky.
"Death is unavoidable." The old man sighed, but he quickly added, "But it's a lot better than expected.
Still, it's not the end. After all, the sun hasn't risen yet, and many people are still sleeping. "The old man then added," Radix, do you want to know the current data? "
"No need. I believe the final result will be better than what you and I can imagine. The will of humans is inextinguishable. "Radix shook her head and rejected the old man's suggestion.
The old man did not insist. He bowed again and said, "I'll take my leave then. I'll come back if Radix calls for me."
"Fine. You can go now." Radix nodded. Suddenly, she thought of something and said, "I heard someone activated the hidden mechanism of the Nirvana Tower?"
"Yes, that young man is Tang Ling," answered the old man calmly.
"Hmm, it should be him."
"Should we pay extra attention to him?"
"Not yet." Radix thought for a while before she said, "It's still too early."
"Yes," answered the old man with his head lowered before he left the cave.
Radix continued to look at the starry sky as he muttered to himself, "Tang Ling? Was he really going to be the first one to stand up and save them? Or should I say … "
Radix's voice faded away.

The high-ranking Silver Wing soldier fell in front of Tang Ling again.
This time, there was no commotion. It did not even take much time. It only took a minute and five seconds for the battle to end.
From the moment Tang Ling found the correct way to fight until now, he had gone through another six battles.
Throughout the six battles, other than his fire, Tang Ling did not use any other abilities. Plus, every time he entered the repair area to comprehend and summarize, his understanding of the fire had deepened.
"But this is just the tip of the iceberg. It's all about the temperature of the fire and the endurance of the fire! " Tang Ling coldly looked at the Silver Wing High Sergeant who fell under his feet again. He was still unsatisfied with his progress.
If he left the Nirvana Tower, would he still be able to use his fire in this fire-filled environment?
Raising the temperature and condensing the fire would always hit a bottleneck with his current abilities. What should he do in the upcoming battles?
....
That was what Tang Ling had always demanded of himself. As a matter of fact, if Kun and Ya saw what he was doing, they would be shocked because it had exceeded their expectations.
During the battle with the Silver Wing High Sergeant, Tang Ling pulled out seven streams of fire from the silver liquid.
Those who did not see it could not imagine how majestic the scene was.
Tang Ling swung the stream of fire in his hand and it eventually formed a giant flaming sword that wrapped around the Blood Bulrush Sword.
The Blood Bulrush Sword had the fire element, and when it was wrapped in Tang Ling's flames, it finally unleashed its full potential as a superalloy weapon with attributes.
As Tang Ling swung the sword, stream after stream of fire danced in the cave. Coupled with Tang Ling's speed, the Silver Wing High Sergeant had nowhere to run.
The other six streams of fire were condensed into giant fireballs one after another and exploded in the cave.
Was this still a battle between Purple Moon Warriors? The battle was like a battle between two Purple Moon Warriors above rank 4 and above using their talent abilities!
Under the relentless attacks, the Silver Wing High Sergeant could last for a minute and five seconds, which was already considered a long time for him.
That was the result. The path that Tang Ling had to think about was the change of the fire. In his blurry memory, there was a blue fire dragon that shocked the audience with its tremendous power! He could not remember how it happened. All he knew was that it was during his battle with Tang Long, the battle after he came back from the dead.
Perhaps, that was the real flame?
**
What was the true nature of the fire that Tang Ling was struggling about?
If anyone else knew about it, they would be shocked because it was not something a Purple Moon Warrior could think about.
Usually, only high-rank Purple Moon Warriors had to think about it.
At this level, everyone knew that it was not just a matter of personal strength. It was also a matter of personal wisdom.
Regardless of the era, a battle was not just about brute force. Brainpower was the ultimate guarantee of a battle. Just like how the old civilization relied on brainpower to develop firearms, it was not something that a single person could compete with.
Therefore, wisdom was the root of everything.
Regardless of whether it was true or not, it was what Lancaster thought.
He was standing in the middle of a dark void, and further away from him was a ridiculous-looking enemy.
The enemy's head was out of proportion to its body because its head was huge. It was almost a 1: 1 ratio to its body. How did the enemy manage to support such a huge head and body? Lancaster was curious about that.
Other than the huge head, the enemy looked funny too. Its mouth was like a slit that was always curled upwards like a smiling clown. Its nose was flat and wide, and its head was as smooth as an egg without a single strand of hair.
Its short body was wearing something similar to a planet's mantle. It was a dignified and majestic outfit, but on its body, it looked like a child wearing an adult's outfit.
However, should he underestimate the enemy just because of that? Absolutely not! Just look at the pair of black eyes that occupied almost a quarter of its face. They were like deep black gems that shone with an unknown brilliance of wisdom.
This was an enemy that was amusing at first glance, but at second glance, it seemed to possess deep wisdom. The battle between it and Lancaster proved this point.
As a matter of fact, Lancaster himself was not weak at all. He too yearned for an upright, intense, and hot-blooded battle.
However, for some unknown reason, after entering the Nirvana Tower, all Lancaster met were very polite. They were all games of wisdom, just like the current battle.
Just like this battle, it was a game of life and death about intelligence — Universe Child Level Shogi.
Was the seventh floor of the Hell difficulty just a game of chess? It sounded funny, or at least, that was what Lancaster thought.
However, he did not know how shocked and delighted Kun and Ya were when they saw that the game he was playing was a Cosmic Child Level Chess.
It felt like a storm of memories had started, bringing people back to the distant past. It was nostalgic and sad, but more than anything else, it was exciting.
It had finally reappeared! This was once the path that the top generals had to take. But what did this foretell?
Lancaster had no idea about the secrets. He only knew he had to win this strange game. Otherwise, he would have to admit defeat or die.
Wasn't this the rule of the Nirvana Tower?
However, the situation was not looking good. Lancaster seemed like he was going to lose, at least on the surface.
According to the rules of the Cosmic Child Level Chess, both sides would have five different soldier types with different characteristics. They would also have one main energy source and four secondary energy sources.
The player would lose in all four situations.
First, all the soldier types would be destroyed.
Second, all the secondary energy sources would be destroyed. (Each secondary energy source destroyed would reduce the power of the soldier type by a quarter.)
Third, the main energy source would be destroyed and the game would end.
Fourth, the player would die.
Other than that, the Cosmic Child Level Chess had no other restrictions.
It would bring the player to a dark space and give him all the chess pieces, including the energy chess and the soldier chess.
Before the game, the player would have ten minutes to familiarize himself with his soldier type because the soldier type was random.
After familiarizing himself with it, both sides would appear in the dark space and start arranging the troops before the battle.
Any method could be used in the battle. There were no restrictions on how to arrange the energy chess. If one liked, they could even place the energy source at the front of the battlefield.
Was it fun? Yes, it was. Once the battle started, be it the soldier chess or the energy chess, they would turn into reality. The image on the chess pieces would be the same. Without a doubt, not only did they look real, but their abilities were also real.
For example, one of Lancaster's soldier types was called the Egg Explosion Low-Level Soldier. They could condense explosive energy.
When it came to actual combat, they could really condense one ball of energy after another. It looked like condensing an egg and then throwing it out would cause it to explode.
How could such a game not be fun? It was fun, but it was unfair.
After all, different soldier types had different abilities, so the power of the soldier type would be different.
The other party's soldier type could be stronger than yours. The key was that you did not know the abilities of the other party's soldier type at the beginning. Everything had to be deduced from the details. Not only did you have to guess, but you also had to guess how many ways this ability could be used on the battlefield.
In addition, there was an iron rule in this game. Every time a soldier was lost, the player would suffer a backlash. Simply put, they would be injured.
The more powerful the soldier type that was lost, the more serious the injury.
After understanding these rules, one would understand why the situation was disadvantageous to Lancaster.
It was because three of Lancaster's four secondary energy sources had been destroyed, and the main energy source was surrounded by the enemy.
It was obvious that Lancaster wanted to save its main energy source, so it had already mobilized a group of soldiers to defend it. Unfortunately, the soldiers surrounding Lancaster's main energy source were the Goldstone race, a race with heaven-defying defense and strength.
Yes, Lancaster's enemy, the gray dwarf full of wisdom, was not only intelligent but also very lucky. The soldier type that he drew was stronger than Lancaster.
On the other hand, what about the other party? Only one of the four secondary energy sources had been destroyed. The main energy source was still very far away from the battlefield, and it was also guarded by the Golden Stone Tribe.
From the looks of it, Lancaster's only advantage was that he had more soldiers than the other party.
But what was the use of that? It was like a battle between two armies. One side had 10,000 old and weak soldiers, while the other side had 1,000 elite soldiers, and they were all cavalry. Did that mean that one side had the advantage? It was more like a disadvantage.
This was the current situation. Lancaster only had some weak soldiers left, while the other side did not have many soldiers, but they were all strong soldiers.
"The situation is very clear." The little gray man sat calmly on his command chair, holding a command scepter that was planted on the ground and looking at Lancaster.
Lancaster had just suffered the backlash of having his energy sources destroyed again and again. There was still blood at the corner of his mouth. Facing the indifference of the enemy, Lancaster was very calm. He gently wiped the blood at the corner of his mouth and said, "Then, you stopped all the battles. Do you want me to admit defeat?"
"You've done very well. As a human, I think this is the limit of what a human can do."
"Of course, I'm not looking down on human intelligence. It's just that no matter what kind of intelligence you have, it's useless in front of things that you haven't touched before. If my guess is correct, you're the first human to touch Master Shogi. "Facing Lancaster's question, the gray dwarf did not answer and started to talk about something else.
Lancaster smiled faintly. "No, I don't think so. You can fully unleash your intelligence in a small space. No matter how many changes there are, it's still the same. This kind of chess looks so dazzling and exciting to play, but in essence, it's just arranging troops and a clash of intelligence. "
"Humans have been playing this kind of game since a long time ago. Whether it's chess, go, shogi … Humans seem to never get tired of it. Humans have always been honing their intelligence in this aspect. "
Hearing this, the gray dwarf did not mock him. Instead, he fell into deep thought. After a long time, he said something that Lancaster could not understand, "All of you have been unable to let go of the sense of crisis in the depths of your souls, right? Even if … "
"Even if what?" Lancaster frowned and asked quickly.
"According to the rules, I can't tell you unless we enter the trading program. But in fact, your authority is not enough to support such a transaction. "The gray dwarf did not intend to hide from Lancaster.
But this topic was quickly changed by it. It looked at Lancaster and said quickly, "In short, I just want to affirm your intelligence. Since you're a person with deep intelligence, you should know what's best for you."
"Whether you admit defeat or not, I won't force you. Choose for yourself. "
"Oh." Lancaster nodded and then said, "You're sure that I'll lose, so you used the right to pause the battle to see if you can make me admit defeat, right?"
"But I have a different idea. For example, I think I'll win. I've been fighting a battle of time with you since the beginning."
"There's no need to admit defeat. Let's restart the battle."
"You'll win?" The gray dwarf seemed to be unable to make any effective expression, but its pair of intelligent eyes expressed its doubt. It glanced at the battle and could not see any possibility of Lancaster winning.
"Yes, I'll win. Let's restart the battle. "Lancaster would not explain anything.
"Alright then, as you wish." The gray dwarf did not want to be long-winded. It was also very curious about where Lancaster's opportunity to turn the situation around was.
The battle immediately restarted. The troops that were frozen on the spot started to move again.
Based on the current arrangement of troops, in another 30 seconds, the Goldenstone tribe would destroy Lancaster's main energy and the game would end.
