Looking at the stunned Lu Chen, Mu Xuan couldn't help but laugh. "Hahaha, to be able to put Mad God in such a difficult position, I feel quite accomplished."
Lu Chen's brows furrowed. "Old man, you can still laugh at a time like this."
Mu Xuan smiled. "If I did my best, you would be the one to die. If I didn't, I would be the one to die … This is indeed a difficult choice."
"The Heaven's Punishment Pagoda is more like your punishment!"
Lu Chen felt an indescribable sense of defeat.
From the first floor to the eighth floor of the Heaven's Punishment Pagoda, he had gone through many trials and tribulations before finally reaching the ninth floor. But the result was like this, no one would be able to accept it.
If the first eight floors were filled with increasingly powerful opponents, then the ninth floor was an unsolvable choice. The difficulty of this floor wasn't about the strength of the opponents, but the inability to choose!
Mu Xuan looked at Lu Chen solemnly. "I once heard you say that you hate choices, but the most precious right of a person is to choose! Back then, between saving you and not saving you, I chose to save you. Today, between letting you go and not letting you go, I can still choose to let you go! "
"Even if heaven's will can threaten me, it can't decide my choice."
Mu Xuan stood up and sighed. "Do you know why I asked you to save me when I knew that the Heaven's Punishment Pagoda would let me guard the ninth floor?"
Lu Chen seemed to have a premonition and his mood was extremely low. But Mu Xuan's question made him want to know the answer. He looked at Mu Xuan and asked, "Why?"
"Because there's a treasure here, and I hope you can obtain it."
"There are treasures everywhere, I can go somewhere else."
"No, this treasure can't be found anywhere else! You have to come here! "
Lu Chen only felt sadness in his heart.
"Kill me and go to the top of the Heaven's Punishment Pagoda to take that treasure!"
"No …" Lu Chen pressed his lips and stubbornly said, "If you hadn't blocked that attack for me, I would have already disappeared in the sea of people. I don't want to climb up by stepping on your corpse!"
"Kid, you're not just shouldering your own fate!" Mu Xuan suddenly became strong. "Do you see the Third Heaven? The human race is on the verge of extinction! "
"This is a game!" Lu Chen tried his best to find an excuse.
"You know this isn't just a game!"
"I … But so what if I lose in Jiutian? In the real world, my right arm is still there. Even if the human race is destroyed, we can still live our lives like before. "
Mu Xuan sighed. "You're wrong. Do you think your world is very safe? Haven't you thought about it? If Jiutian can achieve quantum transfer and transfer the body from the real world to the game, then what about the reverse? "
"A battle that you can't even imagine is happening in the Fourth Heaven! If you can play with life in the first three heavens, then you will only feel fear in the fourth! "
Lu Chen suddenly raised his head and looked at Mu Xuan in surprise.
Mu Xuan continued, "At level three, you can extract your attributes. Although the upper limit is not high, it is enough to change the real world. With your intelligence, it is not difficult to guess what kind of effect level four, five, or even nine will have on the real world!"
"You must become stronger! Powerful enough to deal with all variables! Don't forget, you still have a sister, friends, and family! "
If there was anything that could make Lu Chen risk his life, then Lu Yi was definitely the most important …
Mu Xuan sighed. "Itinerant immortal … If you fail the tribulation, you will become an itinerant immortal. I am the same as the mountain man. In your eyes, I may be an insurmountable peak, but the upper limit has already been set."
"I have reached the end of the Jiutian path … But you are different! The people in the mountains and I have watched you grow up. You still have so many possibilities! "
"Stepping on the enemy's corpse is easy, but stepping on the corpse of your companions requires courage and boldness!"
Mu Xuan kept looking at Lu Chen, but Lu Chen kept his head lowered.
"You are Lu Chen, right?"
Lu Chen raised his head slightly.
Mu Xuan took out an item and threw it to Lu Chen.
[Wood Mansion's Grand Elder Token]
Lu Chen was stunned. So Mu Xuan was from the Wood Mansion? Why didn't he think of that?
"If you need them, take this token and look for them."
"Don't be in a hurry to go to the Fourth Heaven. Accumulate your strength first. The mountain man fought with you to let you know that the current you has no ability to fight at the Fourth Heaven!"
"The Third Heaven has the second volume of the Nine Transformations of Gods and Demons. Find a way to find it!"
"One more thing, Jiu 'er is my great-granddaughter. If you think it's suitable, you can take this token and propose marriage … Hahaha, of course, this is a digression."
After saying that, Mu Xuan's body glowed. The light grew brighter and brighter, almost illuminating the entire ninth floor of the Heaven's Punishment Pagoda.
"Old man, what are you doing!" Lu Chen's eyes widened in anger.
"I know you can't do it, so you can only kill yourself. Don't be nervous."
Lu Chen's eyes were red, but he didn't know what to do.
Rhubarb jumped out of the beast pen and barked at Mu Xuan.
"Woof woof woof woof!"
"Rhubarb, follow your new master well. Perhaps one day, he will wake you up …"
"Wu wu …"
The light was extremely bright, and in the end, Mu Xuan's body turned into specks of light and gradually disappeared.
Mu Xuan's final words were left behind.
"Lu Chen, there's something I still want to tell you … Your father told me that you and Lu Yi are his pride. His biggest regret was that he couldn't watch you grow up. However, I'm luckier than him. I saw … that guy wasn't bragging."
The golden light dissipated, and Mu Xuan had already disappeared. Lu Chen stood there in a daze, his entire body petrified.
…
Mount Li and the others waited for a long time on the eighth floor, but Lu Chen didn't come out. They were worried and went up to the ninth floor.
When they reached the ninth floor, they realized that there was no Heaven's Punishment Pagoda.
"Did Lunatic win?"
They hurriedly searched and finally found Lu Chen in a room.
"Lunatic!"
Lunatic didn't die. That meant that he had passed the ninth floor of the Heaven's Punishment Pagoda! He had passed the Heaven's Punishment Pagoda!
"That's great, Lunatic. You won, you won! You passed the Heaven's Punishment Pagoda! "
Lu Chen looked up blankly, but there wasn't the slightest bit of happiness on his face.
Mount Li looked around and asked curiously, "Lunatic, where's your friend? Quickly go and save your friend. "
Lu Chen shook his head. "He's the guardian of the ninth floor. He's already dead …"
"What!" Everyone's cheers suddenly stopped.
"Dead … Lunatic …"
The people who understood Lu Chen's feelings the most were these people. During this period of time, Lunatic had wholeheartedly wanted to save his friend, but in the end, this was the result. No one could accept it.
All of his hard work had only resulted in failure in the end!
However, at this moment, Lu Chen took a deep breath and slowly stood up from his seat.
"Wait for me here. I'll go to the top floor."
"Lunatic!" Shuang Wu grabbed Lu Chen's hand and looked at Lu Chen worriedly. "Are you okay?"
Lu Chen frowned. "I'm fine! I won't let Mu Xuan die in vain! I'll find the answer myself! "
