Louis moved forward in the darkness. This was the life field that everyone had. It was the place where the spirit, soul, and body were formed. It was usually called the mind. If Louis wanted to completely obtain this body, he had to cut off the connection between the spirit and body here and then devour the other party's soul.
Life fields varied from person to person. In the life field, there would be things that everyone thought were beautiful, ideal, and memorable. Therefore, different people's life fields would appear in different forms. It was the first time that Louis had seen such a pure and dark life field. This endless, empty darkness seemed to reject everything in the world.
Because it was dark, there was nothing. Louis couldn't even find the connection between the spirit and the body. He stopped and began to think of a solution. When he stared at a certain point in the darkness for a long time, Louis was surprised to find that there were countless words written in the darkness.
The words were so dense that they overlapped with each other. Louis carefully read for a while and found that it was two words that were repeated countless times, densely filling the entire life field.
"Ze … Du Ze …?"
Du Ze, Du Ze, Du Ze, Du Ze, Du Ze …
The sound that came to his ears was like the sound of the darkness shattering. Louis came back to his senses and found that he was suddenly standing in the center of a round platform. This had never happened before. Louis looked around, trying to quickly understand the situation.
This was a round platform floating in the darkness. There were eight slender torches erected on its edge. Except for one torch that had nothing on its handle, the other seven all had a blood-colored totem. Louis couldn't understand the meaning of the blood-colored totem. Just then, the torch in front of him suddenly burst into flames. The flame was a strange purple. It suddenly rose and transformed into the outline of a demon.
The flame demon only had an outline and no specific details. It laughed at Louis. "You really came in."
Before Louis could react, the demon formed by the purple flame moved and shouted lazily behind him, "Hey, it's your guest."
The purple flame suddenly extinguished, and Louis suddenly turned around. Behind him, a torch lit up with gray flames. It was a flame, but it only made people feel cold. Louis couldn't be more familiar with this feeling. It was cold, decaying, and the aura of the undead.
The gray flame gradually took on the shape of a man. It stood on the torch and stared at Louis without saying a word. Louis looked at it and asked hoarsely, "Are you an undead?"
The Flaming Wraith didn't reply. It just walked down the torch silently. Louis felt a strong sense of threat. Because he was also an Undead, he knew how terrifying the Flame Undead was. He wanted to leave this strange place, but at this moment, he was shackled in place by an invisible force. He couldn't even move his eyes. Louis could only watch helplessly as the flaming undead came before him. Its burning face was right in front of him, right in front of him.
"I only allow one person to enter this place. You are not qualified."
The gray flames wrapped around Louis, who was unable to move, and engulfed him completely.
"— Xiu!"
Xiu opened his eyes and heard Du Ze's panicked voice. At this time, he was being held by Du Ze. What happened before seemed like a long time ago, but it also seemed like only a moment had passed.
A gray beam of light gradually condensed in front of everyone. Du Ze was startled to see the sudden appearance of the exit. Just now, Xiu suddenly fell on his shoulder. When he hugged Xiu in a panic, the man in his arms changed from a demon to an undead.
Xiu leaned against Du Ze's shoulder, lowered his dull eyes, and then hugged Du Ze tighter.
His heart was very narrow. Except for the person in his arms, there was no gap for anyone else to enter.
"It's all right."
Hearing Xiu speak, Du Ze's nervous mood finally relaxed. Although he didn't know what happened, since the Moe Lord said it was all right, everything must have been solved.
The undead summoned by Louis had also disappeared. Except for Rachel, who saw Xiu's transformation for the first time, the others naturally accepted Xiu's undead form. Without giving them much time to communicate, the Hall of Bones began to collapse like the Arena of the Demon God.
The group returned to the round hall through the gray light. As soon as they came back, Du Ze subconsciously glanced at the stone platforms around the hall. Sure enough, he saw a standard undead stone statue on one of the stone platforms. There was no need to think too much about it. The god tower wanted them to "enter the gate of light – attack the race's instance – clear the game and get the stone statue." This process was repeated until all the stone statues of the races were collected. Then they could reach the top.
Back in the round hall, Xiu soon fell into a coma. Rachel learned about the general situation from the demon sisters, but her attitude towards Xiu did not change much. Du Ze was a little relieved. He looked at Xiu's face. Even though he had become an undead, Du Ze felt that Xiu's face was sickly pale. The god tower basically did not give them a chance to breathe, and this man did not leave any room for himself. He kept moving forward, almost desperately trying to become a god.
In order to avoid the saddest ending, Du Ze began to ask other people about the God of Creation. He had asked the demon sisters and Ariel, as well as Moore and Old John, but all the information he got was similar to the legend. For them, the God of Creation was too far away. Du Ze could only pin his hopes on Rachel. As the agent of the Thunder Corps, he should know more, right?
In front of a blank stone platform, Du Ze found Rachel. After seeing Du Ze, Rachel smiled politely. He pointed to the stone platform in front of him and said: "There used to be a gnome stone statue here, but now it's gone."
Du Ze also looked at the blank stone platform. Xiu had not fought the gnome instance, so the stone platform did not show the gnome stone statue. It seemed that the levels that Rachel passed could not be superimposed on Xiu's body, which was also a limitation of the god tower. Although the levels could not be superimposed, due to Rachel's information, the difficulty of the gnome instance has been greatly reduced.
"About the God of Creation, how much do you know?"
"The God of Creation?" Hearing Du Ze's question, Rachel thought for a moment and then said: "The God of Creation was the first God. He created the Chaos Continent and then fell into a deep sleep."
It was similar to what Ariel said. They had no idea what the God of Creation looked like, where he slept and other specific details. Everyone had asked, so Du Ze could only give up for the time being. At this time, Violet's surprised voice came from behind him. It turned out that Xiu had woken up.
Xiu tied up his long black hair and draped it over his left shoulder. His face was still pale, but his complexion was much better. After a general understanding of the situation, Xiu did not hesitate to enter the light door again. Having experienced this twice, Du Ze was not nervous at all when he passed through the light door. He began to guess which race it would be this time.
The hazy light gradually dissipated behind him. Du Ze looked at the two straight rows of bookshelves on the left and right. For the first time, he felt that his brain was not enough. This looks like … a library?
Coach, why is it a library!?
The strong scent of books filled the tip of his nose. The tall bookshelves were neatly filled with all kinds of books, one on the left and one on the right, like two walls, forming a long and narrow path. Behind them was a dead end. Du Ze looked up and found that the bookshelves had reached the ceiling. It was like they were in an unsealed box. There was no way out but to go forward.
Xiu silently took Du Ze's hand and walked forward. After about ten bookshelves, they came to the end. In front of Du Ze and Xiu was a statue of a sphinx monster. It blocked the way. Seeing Xiu and the others appear, the monster's eyes lit up. It opened its mouth, not to attack, but to ask a question.
"What are the four basic elements of nature?"
Everyone looked at each other. This was a very simple question that could basically be said to be common sense, but they were puzzled by the situation in front of them. Seeing that the light in the monster statue's eyes was about to go out, Rachel stepped forward and cautiously answered the statue's question: "Wind, fire, water, and earth. These are the four basic elements of nature."
Everyone looked at the statue warily. After hearing Rachel's answer, the monster statue turned into powder and merged into the air, revealing a portal. Apparently, they had passed this checkpoint. Du Ze stared at the portal, his heart filled with a sense of powerlessness.
After the fighting game and the strategy game, now it's time for the question and answer game – which race is this?!
Du Ze's group passed through the portal and saw two rows of bookshelves in front of them. It seemed to be the same pattern. This time they quickened their pace. After passing the same ten bookshelves, they did not reach the end. The row of bookshelves on the right turned sideways and formed a road like a paper clip – compared to the first checkpoint, the road formed by the bookshelves was twice as long.
Du Ze and the others turned a corner and continued to walk. At the end, they finally saw the same sphinx statue. Seeing them come over, the statue also asked a question.
"What is the advancement of the four elements?"
"Thunder, fire, ice, and wood." This time Rachel answered without hesitation. They quickly passed the second checkpoint.
Next, they relied on answering the sphinx statue's questions to pass the checkpoint. After the initial shock, Du Ze couldn't help but like this dungeon. There was no physical activity, just a pure mental contest. The Moe Lord can finally rest. Before Du Ze could be happy for long, they encountered their first problem. Every time they passed a checkpoint, the road formed by the bookshelves became more curved, and the statue's questions became more and more difficult. This time, the statue asked them: "When combining ice and thunder magic, what elements should be added to assist?"
Is this a chemistry exam?!
The stupid, cute reader Sen Sen was shocked, Xiu frowned slightly, and Rachel and the others were also at a loss. At this time, a voice suddenly sounded behind them and answered the question for them.
"Add light elements to level 6 to 8 magic, and dark elements to level 9 magic."
The statue turned into powder and disappeared. Du Ze looked back and saw Antonio holding a pot of wine. The first Mage of the human race was leaning against a bookshelf, drunkenly greeting him.
"We meet again, hehe." Antonio burped. He didn't recognize Xiu in his undead form, but he still looked at him. Then he asked Du Ze: "Have you ever met Honey?"
Du Ze shook his head. He did not expect to meet Antonio here. It seemed that Antonio was looking for his granddaughter.
Seeing this, Antonio waved at them disappointedly and let them pass through the portal: "You can go."
Xiu, who had been looking at Antonio, asked hoarsely: "What about you?"
"The old man will look for those little bastards again." Antonio opened the wine pot and took a sip. He seemed to have a good impression of Xiu and even gave a suggestion before leaving: "Young people, if you don't understand, you can read more books."
The figure of the first Mage disappeared behind the bookshelves. Du Ze thought about Antonio's words and looked at the rows of bookshelves in front of him. Suddenly, he had a terrible conjecture.
The tower will not give them unsolvable checkpoints, nor will it give them these ever-extending bookshelves in vain.
