Protagonist: Who are you thinking of?
When Du Ze came out of the bathroom, he saw Xiu sitting by the bed. The demon was leaning against the bedpost, one foot bent over the bed and the other hanging down. Xiu's right hand was on his knee and he was playing with a bottle of light purple potion. The transparent bottle was glittering in the moonlight and looked very beautiful.
Seeing Du Ze come out, Xiu's lips curved up and he said one sentence: "–"
Du Ze couldn't hear it, but looking at the familiar shape of the mouth, it should be a commonly used summoning sentence: "Come here." So the silly, cute reader obediently went to his Moe Lord. When he came to the bed, Du Ze looked at the bottle in Xiu's hand and asked doubtfully: "What is this?"
Xiu stretched out his hand, pulled the defenseless Du Ze onto the bed, and covered him with it. The demon's hand was above Du Ze, his long black hair sliding down like silk and falling coldly on Du Ze's chest. Xiu held the potion and stretched out his index finger to write an answer on Du Ze's body.
[You'll know soon.]

The next day, as soon as Du Ze went out, he met Heidi. The succubus looked at the "unscathed" Du Ze and seemed surprised.
Heidi rubbed her red lips and whispered: "Is he useless?"
Du Ze's whole face stiffened. He glanced angrily at the accomplice in front of him and the main culprit behind him, then went straight to the dining room without looking back – some silly, cute person's internal injuries were so bad that he wanted to vomit blood. Last night's ointment and Zero Point Reduction were unspeakable pain.
Heidi watched the black-haired youth walk away with a cold face. Then she looked at her radiant fellow demon. "He's … angry?"
"Just shy," said Xiu. Xiu said. He seemed to be reminiscing about something and smiled very happily. His purple eyes shone brightly in the morning light.
It's a sad story.
After breakfast in the dining room, Heidi led the crowd to the East District of Agares City. Du Ze once again saw the fortress of Agares City. Compared to the last time when they were allowed to pass, the gate of the fortress was wide open. At a glance, they could see the Death Swamp on the other side. Any creature could pass unimpeded.
Xiu led Du Ze into the Death Swamp. The current Death Swamp was no longer suitable for its name of death. Countless creatures had gathered in the swamp, and the excessive human traffic had even dispersed the fog above the swamp, allowing people to clearly see the Lost World in the distance, as well as the divine pagoda. Along the way, Du Ze saw all kinds of creatures. They mixed with each other and seemed to have gathered into some small teams. Most of them had about five people. A few people seemed to want to come over and strike up a conversation, but when they saw the orderly Thunder Legion behind Xiu Shen, they all consciously stopped their steps, no longer trying to hook up with this troop that was clearly not easy to provoke.
Apart from some creatures who wanted to climb the tower, there were also many stalls and even a few simple taverns — these people came here to do business. Du Ze silently stared at one of the stalls. The owner of the stall had put down the book in his hand and was smiling wickedly at them.
"I was wondering when you would come." As always, the stall in front of him was filled with chests of all sizes. "The Divine Tower is very dangerous. Don't you want to come here and pick a piece of equipment for self-defense?"
"Not interested."
"Hey, hey, don't go." Seeing Xiu walk away with a group of people, Dan gloomily called from behind: "I have information here that your excellency will certainly need."
Xiu stopped and watched as Dan ran over. The green-clothed merchant's stall spontaneously rolled up its bag and followed behind its owner. Dan came in front of Xiu. His eyes wandered back and forth between Xiu and Old John, then he stretched out his hand and spread his fingers.
"Your excellency should not accept too many followers before entering the first floor. Five is the limit. Any more and the tower will increase the difficulty. It is said that a general recruited a division of soldiers to climb the tower, but the result was that they were all wiped out at the entrance to the first floor. "Dan's words changed. "However, after passing the first floor, there are no restrictions. Your excellency is free to recruit followers, but the premise is that you can still meet them."
Although Dan has always been a slow-witted person, his words still have a certain credibility in transactions. Du Ze admired the anti-cheating system of the Divine Tower, which completely eliminated the intention of some people to use numbers to break through. The demon sisters and Ariel looked uneasily at Xiu. In this team, apart from Du Ze, they were the weakest.
Dan saluted Xiu. "Well, is your excellency satisfied with my information?"
"What price do you want?"
After hearing Xiu's words, Dan shook his head exaggeratedly. "Your excellency is too serious. We are all old customers. This is a small gift from our store, free of charge."
Du Ze didn't believe that the Chaos Ball Pill would suddenly change its mind and become so kind. Xiu narrowed his eyes and seemed to have the same idea. Upon seeing this, Dan made a defeated expression.
"Aiyaya, is my credibility really at stake?"
Dan looked at the Divine Tower not far away. For a moment, he couldn't see the expression of the Demon God.
"Who will be the first to climb the tower?" Dan looked back at Xiu, his expression serious for the first time. "I think that person is you."
– This is your tower, the tower that the rules have built for you.
After studying the blood and witnessing the growth of this man, he seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.
The man in front of him was destined to become a Supreme God.
"– So, you can think of it as my early investment."
Before anyone had time to react, Dan's figure disappeared into the void, and the stall that had been following him also disappeared.
"Who is that man?" Heidi asked.
A boring Demon God. Du Ze silently replied in his heart. He never understood Dan's motives and thoughts. He seemed like a friend and not an enemy, but he couldn't really trust him at all.
"He seems to be a Demon God." Violet said. She looked at Xiu anxiously: "Now … what should we do?"
After learning about Dan's information, leading a large army to climb the tower was obviously not feasible. Xiu didn't seem to care. For him, it was enough as long as his silly, cute daughter was by his side. Xiu glanced at them, then let Rachel disband the Thunder Regiment and form a six-person team to climb the tower. The quality of the Thunder Regiment was very high. Almost in an instant, they formed their respective teams and elected their captains. Du Ze calculated. Excluding Old John, who was a mechanical puppet, Mo Er, Ariel, Violet, Alice, and himself, there were exactly five people. Rachel reluctantly joined the Thunder Regiment and temporarily separated from Xiu.
After Dan's episode, the group continued to move toward the tower. Across the Death Swamp was the Lost Land. At this time, the Lost Land was completely different from what Du Ze saw when he first came to this world. The membrane that isolated it from the outside world had been broken, and the ice crystal ground inside was broken layer by layer. There was no longer the strange scenery of the sky above and below, and there was no formation that could trap people to death. It only took them an hour to reach the center of the Severed World.
The huge pillar of light had already disappeared, and what replaced it was a majestic black tower. Its shape was like the legendary Babylonian Tower of Babylon, stacked layer by layer like a multi-layered cake. The tower, as smooth as black jade, was painted with silver-gray lines and symbols that could only be seen at the moment of reflection. It stood there quietly, with an imposing manner that made people want to worship it, like a god. Du Ze looked at the dark tower and his heartbeat sped up slightly. He couldn't tell whether it was nervousness or excitement.
There was no door at the bottom of the tower. Many creatures went to the bottom of the tower in groups. The moment they touched the tower, they disappeared. They should have entered the tower. Du Ze looked up at the tower. Although he always had the illusion that the tower was infinitely high, he could see the whole picture when he looked at it. It seemed that he could reach the top of the tower by flying. Just as Du Ze was thinking about this, he saw a winged person spread his wings and flew to the top of the tower. He seemed to have the same idea as Du Ze.
Under Du Ze's gaze, the winged person flew slower and slower, as if an invisible pressure was exerting on him. When he reached a certain height, he could no longer rise, as if he was blocked by a wall of air. The Winged Person's expression suddenly changed to one of horror. His wings and body began to twist as if two invisible giant hands were holding his head and feet, twisting them bit by bit. Du Ze even thought he could hear the crisp sound of the Winged Person's bones breaking. With a crack, the winged person, covered in blood, fell crookedly from the air and hit the ground softly, no longer moving.
The crowd watched in silence. The tower once again told everyone not to try to use some opportunistic methods. Heidi pressed her fluffy curls that were blown by the wind and looked at Xiu and the others. "It's time to say goodbye." The beautiful succubus gave her blessing. "I look forward to your triumphant return."
Xiu curved his lips. He hugged Du Ze, spread his bat wings, and flew to the bottom of the tower. The others followed. Heidi watched as the people were swallowed up by the tower. At that moment, she didn't know if it was an illusion, but she seemed to hear the tower let out a sigh of satisfaction.
As if it had been waiting for the goal it had coveted for a long time.

"Not interested."
"Hey, hey, don't go." Seeing Xiu walk away with a group of people, Dan called out gloomily: "I have information here that Your Excellency will certainly need."

"Alas, is my credibility so precarious?"
Dan looked at the tower not far away. For a moment, he could not see the expression of the Demon God.
