"My lord." Blood Shaman, Uesugi Nao, and Cave Era immediately bowed when they saw Immortal walk over.
Jiang Yan passed by the three of them and walked to the fence. He looked up at a pillar in the middle of the tower. The pillar was made of metal and crystal. Although it was erected in the middle of the tower, its current height had already exceeded the completed seventh floor of the tower.
Jiang Yan stood by the fence on the seventh floor. He had to look up at the Sky Ascension Platform to barely see its peak.
"My lord, according to the current progress, it should be completed in another twenty days," Uesugi Nao said from behind.
"It's too late," Jiang Yan muttered to himself.
"My lord, if we have another twenty days, it will only take twenty-seven days. It's less than a month," Uesugi Nao said in puzzlement.
Jiang Yan didn't explain as he calmly said, "All of you can leave. Guard the tower outside and don't let anyone approach this place."
The three of them were alarmed as Blood Shaman hurriedly asked, "My lord, what happened?"
Jiang Yan didn't explain as he looked at the Sky Ascension Platform and said indifferently, "Go. Just guard it well."
"Yes." With Jiang Yan saying that, Uesugi Nao and company didn't dare ask any more questions. They left the tower together.
Before walking down the seventh floor, Cave Era looked at Jiang Yan as though she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it in the end. She followed Blood Shaman and company down the tower.
Although Jiang Yan didn't say anything, they knew that something must have happened. Otherwise, the immortal wouldn't have said that. Therefore, they immediately gathered all the Guardians of Heaven's Tower and began setting up defenses around it.
After all the people who had built the tower left, Jiang Yan walked to the foot of the huge heavenly pillar. He walked along the steps that coiled around the stone pillar and walked towards the top of the Heaven Ascension Platform.
Only a third of the Sky Ascension Platform was completed. The highest point was still under construction, but when Jiang Yan arrived at the highest point of the Sky Ascension Platform, he could already see his surroundings.
There's too little time. Although it's difficult to ascend to the heavens in one step, I have to give it a try. Jiang Yan looked up at the void. On the forehead of the Guardian armor on his body was a mysterious crystal that resembled a vertical eye. It emitted a strange light.
The crystal that looked like an eye seemed to be an endless abyss. Any light that fell on it would be absorbed, but it itself emitted a faint light. The light was like a tentacle, and when the light touched it, it was like a hair-thin tentacle had pierced into the void.
The unfinished pillar of the Heaven Ascension Platform beneath Jiang Yan's feet came into contact with the tentacle-like light. The crystals embedded in the metal that resembled patterns gradually lit up.
As the Heaven Ascension Platform lit up, the crystal on Jiang Yan's forehead that resembled an eye turned darker and deeper. The tentacle-like light rays also increased in number. They spread out like countless transparent strands of hair, filling the void and extending into the unknown.
The light rays flickered with strange streams of light from time to time, like cables that transmitted signals. The more intense the light from the Heaven Ascension Platform, the stronger the light streams on the light rays.
As for Jiang Yan, he seemed to be enduring immense pain. His body trembled involuntarily, and his eyes were bloodshot. Even the capillaries under his skin began to rupture.
Blood Shaman and the others, who were guarding outside the tower, were alarmed when they saw the Heaven Ascension Platform glow brightly, but the top seemed to be enveloped in darkness.
"The Heaven Ascension Platform is only a third complete. Its effects are greatly reduced. Isn't it too risky for Lord Immortal to use it to contact the dimension at this moment?" Blood Shaman said in alarm.
"Obtaining contact with the dimension requires a huge price of energy. The Heaven Ascension Tower itself is an energy gathering device, and the Heaven Ascension Platform is like a signal amplifier. Even without the Heaven Ascension Tower's energy gathering effect, as long as one has enough energy, they can use the Heaven Ascension Platform's signal amplification ability to contact the dimension. However, even if there's an amplification effect, it requires extremely powerful energy to succeed. Now, there's only a third of the amplification effect or even lower. It's hard to say if the signal can be sent into the dimension. If something goes wrong and the energy isn't sent out and there's a backlash, Lord Immortal will be in danger, "Uesugi Nao said worriedly.
Cave Era seemed to have long guessed what Jiang Yan was up to. At that moment, she was the calmest person.
"Lord Immortal naturally has his plans for daring to do this. We should guard the Heaven Ascension Tower well and not let anyone disturb him to prevent all our efforts from going to waste." Cave Era knew that what Jiang Yan had said previously wasn't without reason.
Uesugi Nao and Blood Shaman nodded slightly and increased their vigilance. At the same time, they informed headquarters to transfer the high-level Guardians stationed at headquarters over.
Even if the League of Defender's headquarters was flattened, nothing could happen here.
On the Heaven Ascension Platform, the Guardian armor on Jiang Yan's body had already begun to crack. Due to the terrifying power that seeped through the cracks, his skin rapidly turned to ash. His originally crystalline skin instantly turned to dust and scattered with the spatial fluctuations.
The Heaven Ascension Platform had yet to be built. It wasn't as simple as having a third of its effects. An incomplete Heaven Ascension Platform was also extremely harmful to the user.
Jiang Yan ignored his disintegrating body and continued staring at the void that had been penetrated by the light.
Crack!
Cracks appeared on the crystal at the forehead of the Guardian armor. This was an adverse effect caused by the direct impact of the Heaven Ascension Platform's amplification effect.
Please, it's almost done. Hold on a little longer, Jiang Yan prayed silently.
However, the cracks on the crystal continued to increase. Soon, they covered the entire crystal. The crystal was like a glass ball that had been heated with fire and then soaked in cold water. Countless cracks crisscrossed each other. With just a little more force, it would instantly disintegrate.
Just a little more … Just a little more … Jiang Yan stared intently at the void. His armor had cracked, and the exposed parts of his body had already turned to dust, revealing his white bones. However, he still didn't notice anything.
Suddenly, a strange light spread out from the spot where the light beam pierced through, forming a humanoid figure made of light. It was as though a god that couldn't be looked at by humans had descended.
"Jiang Yan, is this the answer you're giving me?" The figure looked down coldly at the half-completed Heaven Ascension Tower and the Heaven Ascension Platform as it spoke unhappily.
"I've encountered some trouble and need help," Jiang Yan said.
"I've already given you enough help. If I need to resolve everything myself, why would I need you? Are you telling me that I need a new spokesperson in the human world? "the figure said coldly.
