"The tower of babel? A primeval relic? An ultimate test? To wipe out … all the carbon-based intelligent lives in the Pangu universe? "
Ding Ling Dong, Long Yangjun, Boss Bai, Li Jialing … All the experts changed their expressions drastically.
"There's no time to explain. All in all, I need your help. I may not be able to find all the directions to pass the test on my own."
Li Yao continued writing, "Next, I'm going to enter the tower of babel. But before that, I'll clear the obstacles for you and show you the way. You must catch up in time!
"Remember, don't belittle yourself. Although the Pangu civilization is much stronger than us, we are all equal in this' ultimate test '.
"Dozens of primeval civilizations that were even more powerful than the Pangu civilization had the same test, but they all failed and perished. It is obvious that combat ability and wisdom are not the requirements to pass the test at all.
"Perhaps, the ultimate test is not about the development of a civilization or its absolute combat ability, but about our trust in each other, our calmness and disdain for death, our hope for the future, and our determination that we will never change under any circumstances … Such things define a civilization and contain infinite potentials of a civilization.
"Or maybe, a hundred primeval civilizations have already walked on all the logical paths under normal circumstances, so we have to pass the test in a weird, crazy, and sordid way.
"All in all, it is impossible for us to predict what kind of challenges we will face in the unknown darkness, but we can know and persevere clearly what kind of person we are exactly. We can train ourselves into our truth and face the unknown with our truest selves. Even if we are destroyed and completely erased, we will still leave our most vivid mark in the vast sea of stars.
"This is perhaps the answer.
"Now, open your eyes and observe every ripple in front of you carefully!"
Li Yao finished writing the last sentence.
Everybody's eyes widened to the maximum too.
The golden flames that were dancing in the sky suddenly constricted and retreated the left arm of "Sun Apocalypse". Then, like a torrent that was ready to go, it was blown out brutally and swept across the entire universe.
Everyone's vision was instantly submerged by the golden sea.
The barrage that was even more ferocious than the surging tides swept past the heads of countless ferocious beasts unstoppably, setting their heads ablaze. A path of blood was cleared between Li Yao and Ding Ling Dong and the rest of them.
After the golden flames that covered every inch of space swept past, the originally invisible "discontinuous space belt" was also clearly exposed. Like enormous vortexes that seemed to be substantial, they were distributed around the "Tower of Babel", forming an intricate three-dimensional maze.
With the remarkable computational ability of Ding Ling Dong, Long Yangjun, Boss Bai, and A Boxing Champion, as long as the space maze was completely revealed, they would be able to find a zigzagging exit no matter how complicated and twisted the route was.
"Li Yao …"
Bathed in the golden flames, Ding Ling Dong could barely open her eyes. Her eyes were filled with burning torrents. Clenching her fists, she mumbled, "Rest assured. We will certainly catch up with you!"
…
Next to the "Tower of Babel" …
After unleashing infinite golden flames, the entire left arm of "Solar Apocalypse" was almost melted into a dazzling orange color.
"Huchi! Huchi! Huchi!"
Li Yao breathed hard and stared at the gold ocean that he had created, as well as the ferocious beasts that were crouching on the ground, not daring to move at all because of their natural instincts of fear. "This should be enough. Ding Lingdang and the rest of them should be able to figure it out slowly. I … trust her.
"Now, let's set a new direction for Ding Ling Dong and the rest of them and the civilization of mankind in advance!"
"Aooooo!"
Although most of the ferocious beasts were intimidated by Li Yao's flames of battle, such a blatant exposure of the target still attracted quite a few high-level ferocious beasts of the same level as "Tyrant Armored Dragon". They roared furiously and flapped their enormous wings, crashing at Li Yao.
"Great timing!"
Li Yao smiled and held the Battleship Slicing Saber that was hidden deep behind the shield again.
He had tested it just now.
The ugly black spots that filled the lower half of the "Tower of Babel" were like special one-way channels that carried gene detection functions. Only the creatures that carried the genes of the ferocious beasts could successfully crawl into them. The bullets and flying swords that Li Yao shot at the black spots were all blocked.
Therefore, he still needed a "shell" to cover the full metal structure of "Sun Apocalypse" and enter the "Tower of Babel" through the black spots.
The first ferocious beast lunged at him.
It was like a deformed mixture of a lion, a vulture, and a scorpion. It had an unfathomable bloody mouth and three tails that were as sharp as scythes. Its size was not inferior to that of "Tyrant Armored Dragon" at all. When its bloody mouth was opened to the limit, it could even swallow "Sun Apocalypse" in one gulp.
It was exactly the "shell" that Li Yao needed.
"Sun Apocalypse" performed the speed as fast as lightning and the agility of meteoroids again. It suddenly turned into a fuzzy ball of light and dodged the fatal entanglement of the griffin's three tails at first. Then, it constricted into a cluster and crashed into the enemy's bloody mouth. When the upper half of the body completely disappeared into the bloody mouth, the shield that was vibrating at a high frequency was activated, grinding the tusks of the ferocious beast and the circular grinding teeth in its throat into powder. It was not until the ferocious beast roared in excruciating pain that he drew the Battleship Slicing Saber unhurriedly and stabbed at the ferocious beast's internal organs along its throat. Golden flames surged out crazily and burned up all the internal organs of the ferocious beast.
Before the griffin could even struggle, its soul dispersed and it breathed its last.
"Sun Apocalypse" took the opportunity to crawl into the abdomen of the ferocious beast and stabbed at the nearest black spot against the dead body of the ferocious beast.
The feeling of passing through the black spot was entirely different from using a regular teleportation array or even a space jump.
It was like "Sun Apocalypse" was sealed inside a piece of candy that was about to be solidified, and it had to exert all its strength in order to move forward slowly.
Thankfully, the piece of candy was not too thick. The suffocating feeling only lasted three seconds before Li Yao felt that his whole body was relaxed. The resistance was gone, and the world around him was magnified ten thousand times.
The body of the griffin fell apart and was burnt up by the golden flames of "Sun Apocalypse", dispersing into a mist of blood.
Li Yao successfully broke into the interior of "Heaven's Path Tower" with "Sun Apocalypse".
However, the scene inside "Heaven's Path Tower" that was displayed before his eyes was quite shocking and unbelievable.
Li Yao had thought that, since it was called a "tower", the space inside must be extremely limited. It was more like a complicated maze that was an artificial visual obstacle.
Judging from the appearance of "Heaven's Path Tower", however large it was, it couldn't be more than twenty kilometers in diameter. Also, the higher it shrank, the smaller the diameter should be.
However, what appeared in front of Li Yao's eyes at this moment was an extremely vast world. As far as his eyes could see, rock walls that rose into the clouds and were as steep as mirrors were everywhere. The folds that seemed to have been slashed by primordial deities constituted interconnected valleys. From the purple and red sky, billions of glittering bolts of lightning were descending, raising deafening noises and making everybody panicked.
Yes, the sky. Li Yao saw a brand-new sky inside "Heaven's Path Tower".
It was as if he had not broken into "Heaven's Path Tower" but had been teleported to another chaotic, highly-dangerous world fragment, a brand-new planet named "Thunder Valley".
However, the ferocious beasts and guardians that were fighting in the depths of the enormous folds told Li Yao clearly that this was the interior of "Heaven's Path Tower".
"I get it now. 'Heaven's Path Tower' is not a real tower but a corner of countless Sectors, just like the periphery of the primordial relics!"
Li Yao thought quickly, and his head was as clear as day. "Yes. If it were an ordinary tower, no matter how tall the tower was, what materials it was made of, and what mechanisms and traps were set up, with the technology of the primordial civilization, the Pangu civilization, and even the civilization of mankind, they could've dissected it into the most basic bricks, cement, rebars, and screws. What's the point of 'testing'?
"It is not a 'tower' in the conventional sense at all, but a condensation of countless world fragments. Moreover, judging from the extremely violent high-energy reaction here, it is different from the stable and peaceful 'habitable planets' that are very suitable for human survival in the periphery of the primordial relics. The world fragments that make up 'Heaven's Path Tower' are all from extremely violent and dangerous planets.
"Going up 'Heaven's Path Tower', every world fragment will only become more and more violent, more and more unstable, and more and more dangerous. This is probably the first test left by the 'black-wall maker', right?
"Soon. I can't wait. Then … let's begin!"
Li Yao released his telepathic thoughts to the limit and carefully scanned the "Thunder Valley" in front of him, trying to find the exit, or the "stairs" that led to "a higher level".
He first cast his eyes to the sky.
It was an unfathomable secret realm surrounded by purple clouds and mist. As the purple clouds collided and rolled, the lightning became more and more concentrated, almost like a downpour.
It seemed that he would be able to reach the space above after breaking through the sky that was densely covered with lightning. This was a natural thought.
