The Expeditionary Force Returns Home, the Ancient Tower Chapter Concludes in Triumph! (End of the Ancient Tower Chapter! Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
Chaos City.
The great battle continues.
Of the Four Law Kings, half have fallen under the combined assault of the crowd, leaving only the Earth Law King and the Thousand Flames Law King, who are showing signs of decline.
Looking at the allied forces from all sides,
Of the seven Demon Kings of the Demon Race, only four remain. This is only because of the protection of the Demon God Temple, a Sixth Ring war treasure, which has repeatedly avoided the Law God's world-destroying attacks.
Of the five Barbarian Kings of the Barbarian Race, only the Winged Tiger Barbarian King and the Stone Lion Barbarian King are still fighting alone.
As for the rebel Law Kings, only the Thunderbolt King and the Ancient Tomb Law King are still alive.
Most of the other Sixth Ring powerhouses have also been killed or injured.
Overall, the allied forces have suffered heavy losses.
Looking at those lingering rebels, the Supreme Law God, with a calm demeanor, smiled and said, "I told you I am a god, why don't you believe me?"
The Mountain Demon King holds up the Demon God Temple, and beams of Black Light crash down.
The Supreme Law God's Chaos Domain sweeps out, swallowing the Black Light.
The Winged Tiger Barbarian King finds the right moment and launches a surprise attack, his great saber slicing through the Thousand Flames Law King's force field.
The Tiger Ancestor pounces out, instantly swallowing the Thousand Flames Law King into its belly.
Its body shines brightly, and the Thousand Flames Law King's chains pierce through its body, wrapping around the Tiger Ancestor instead.
The Thousand Flames Law King's figure emerges, his face pale, and he instantly ages, exuding an aura of decay. Clearly, he has also reached the point of exhaustion.
A beam of extremely brilliant saber light and a dense, airtight green fist shadow strike.
The Stone Lion Barbarian King and the Winged Tiger Barbarian King attack simultaneously, completely burying the Thousand Flames Law King.
Another Sixth Ring mid-stage Law King has completely fallen. The Tiger Ancestor devours his Law Soul to make up for its losses.
On the other side, the other Sixth Ring powerhouses also beat the Earth Law King to death.
The Winged Tiger Barbarian King pants heavily, his tiger-headed saber descending with the force of the sky, and he shouts sternly, "Four-Eyed Snake, you have no one left to use, why don't you surrender quickly!"
The Supreme Law God looks around, holding his scepter.
Indeed, in the entire Chaos City, only he remains, oh right, and the Ancient Demon imprisoned in the tower.
He doesn't panic at all, and says calmly:
"Come on then."
He still has enough strength to deal with these enemies in front of him, and he doesn't plan to release the Ancient Demon for the time being.
That guy doesn't recognize anyone, and poses a significant threat to him as well.
Historically, wars similar to today's have occurred several times.
Each time, he can safely overcome the disaster and suppress any rebellion.
Only once did he release that Ancient Demon. In the end, he paid a heavy price to contain it.
For the Supreme Law God, whether it is the rebellion of the Law Kings, or the invasion of the Demon Race and the Barbarian Race, it is just a boring historical cycle.
In this Aio, he is a god, and no one can defy his will.
The Winged Tiger Barbarian King and the Mountain Demon King attack from both sides.
The Law God waves his scepter, and two Chaos Ancient Serpents composed of water flow, with the force of overturning mountains and seas, force them back.
The Law God is unhurried and as steady as Mount Tai.
This time the Ancient Tower opened, he collected a large amount of Wizard Knowledge. He spends his days in the Law God Tower, studying these learnings.
Sooner or later, he will free himself from the Ancient Tower and take back the Ancient Tower refined with his body.
If ten thousand years is not enough, then ten thousand years, a million years...
He was born because of the Ancient Tower, and if the Ancient Tower is not destroyed, he will not be destroyed. What he does not lack is time.
Not long after, another Law King fell.
Watching his teammates dwindle, the Winged Tiger Barbarian King felt sorrow in his heart.
Tiger Ancestor sighed, "The outsider who created this tower is of unimaginable realm... All our struggles are in vain."
The Mountain Demon King was gaunt, constantly using the Demon God Temple, a Seventh Ring treasure, which consumed him greatly.
Even as a brutal demon, he felt a tinge of sadness in his heart.
He only wanted to return to his homeland, the Abyss Plane, passed down through generations in his inherited memories. He wanted to wage war in the infinitely exciting multi-dimensional planes, instead of being raised in captivity by the creator of this world.
In fact, within the Ancient Tower, the three major civilizations—the Barbarian Race, the Demon Race—were deliberately brought into the tower by the creator using great power.
The Human Race, on the other hand, was born gradually over the years.
Otherwise, with the abilities of these Sixth Ring demon lords, how could they have invaded the interior of the Ancient Tower? Even Tenth Ring demon lords wouldn't have that level of ability.
Whether it was the Barbarian Race or the Demon Race, their role was the same as those of the other alien races who were just there to make up the numbers. They were there to artificially create the most realistic training conditions for the Wizards who entered the Ancient Tower to train. They simulated the complex situations of the multi-dimensional planes, so that the Wizard civilization would always be prepared.
The end result was that generations of Demon Kings and Barbarian Kings could never escape this fate.
Now it seemed that the final outcome was no different from the past.
As time passed, more and more Sixth Ring powerhouses fell dimly.
In Chaos City, blood flowed like a river.
The Primal Soul Wizards hiding in the shadows made a fortune.
The Supreme Law God's eyes were indifferent as he harvested their lives.
"I told you, I'm doing this for your own good, but you wouldn't listen... How pathetic, forever acting as stepping stones for the Wizards in this cage. Compared to Sauron and the Wizard civilization behind him, I am really too kind."
A mournful song came from the heavens and earth.
The Winged Tiger Barbarian King began to burn, chanting spells like an ancient ballad, like a believer praying to a god for strength.
This scene changed the expression of the Supreme Law God, who had been as calm as an ancient well.
He quickly cast a spell to interrupt the Winged Tiger Barbarian King's prayer.
Seeing the opportunity, the Mountain Demon King tacitly poured all of his remaining source demon energy into the Demon God Temple.
The Demon God Temple shone brightly, and the Demon King threw it out directly. At the same time, he said coldly, "Explode!"
This Seventh Ring treasure, which was so important to the Demon Race, was detonated by him.
The terrifying explosion swept through Chaos City, the earth cracked, and countless houses and churches were razed to the ground.
Half of the Law God's majestic figure was also blown away.
"You... you're crazy."
He looked at the Mountain Demon King, who had detonated the Demon God Temple.
The Mountain Demon King, in his final moments, shot forward, his mountain-like fist shadows raining down from the sky.
The Law God waved his staff to resist.
The Winged Tiger Barbarian King's ballad had also ended.
In the sky behind him, the clouds within a hundred miles began to roll, spin, and condense into a vortex.
Within the vortex, lightning and thunder flashed, and all kinds of world-destroying scenes of wind, fire, rain, and water emerged.
A large eyeball, devoid of any emotion and with an indifferent expression, emerged from it.
It slowly turned, surveying this world, its long eyelashes like pillars supporting the sky.
It seemed that the power of a powerful being had been summoned by the ballad, which changed the Supreme Law God's expression.
Although this power was only a trace, its level was so high that even he, in his current state, seemed inferior to his former self as the Chaos Ancient Serpent.
Among the powerful beings he had encountered, only one could perhaps compare to it... and that was Sauron, who had refined himself into the Ancient Tower.
Within the Ancient Tower, relying on some special methods, it was indeed possible to summon the power of some powerful beings to descend.
However, the levels of these powers would not exceed the upper limit of the Ancient Tower's rules. For example, the Blood God's phantom summoned by the Blood Feast Law King.
The level of power displayed by the giant eyeball had already broken through the constraints of the Ancient Tower's rules, reaching the Seventh Ring level.
That's why the Supreme Law God panicked. He unhesitatingly used all his power, gathering it in the Supreme Scepter, and the elemental power around Chaos City surged.
He wasn't worried about the Ancient Tower being destroyed. He still recognized Sauron's strength. Being able to remain safe and sound for hundreds of thousands of years naturally meant it had its own powerful aspects.
He was just worried about being annihilated by the giant eyeball.
"Dragon Serpent Arise!"
A white giant serpent, nearly ten thousand meters long, descended with a shocking presence.
The remaining Sixth Ring experts all attacked the Supreme Law God in unison.
They could see that if there was a chance to leave, it lay with the giant eyeball in the sky. They wanted to create conditions for the giant eyeball.
The white giant serpent charged into the vortex and collided head-on with the giant eyeball, the resulting shockwave scattering the clouds for hundreds of miles around.
Within the giant eyeball, purple Thunder brewed, and an aura of destruction permeated the air.
Rumble! Terrifying Thunder pillars, densely packed, fell like divine punishment.
On the battlefield outside Chaos City, countless living beings died.
Even the Sixth Ring experts found it difficult to sustain themselves for long.
The Supreme Law God roared, "I can't die... I finally saw hope, Serpent God, heed my call!"
The scepter in his hand erupted with dazzling light, transforming into a lifelike Chaos Ancient Serpent.
The ancient serpent opened its abyssal maw, swallowing the sky and devouring the earth, trying to devour the giant eyeball.
Rumble! In the ruins of Chaos City, the indestructible Law God Tower collapsed with a deafening roar. All the seals placed upon it became ineffective.
Accompanied by an indescribable, bizarre roar, a monster exuding a monstrous aura of baleful energy appeared.
The monster was nearly a thousand meters tall, humanoid in shape, but covered in evil and ominous red fur. Its arms were long enough to reach its knees, and its legs were atrophied, making it look extremely deformed.
Its entire body was covered in writhing flesh tentacles, the ends of which contained various figures, vaguely recognizable as their former selves: Wizards, Dragon Spawn, Black Beasts, Amethyst Clan members...
As soon as the monster appeared, tens of thousands of different attacks were unleashed from the ends of the tentacles, like colorful fireworks, soaring straight into the sky.
The Supreme Law God retreated behind the monster.
"Quick, kill all these guys!"
This Ancient Demon was the ultimate stitched monster he had created using a portion of his own divinity as the core, a peak Sixth Ring Black Beast as the foundation, and countless living beings as materials. He called it the "Chaos God Spawn," and it also possessed Seventh Ring strength.
The monster fought fiercely with the giant eyeball, and the remaining Sixth Ring experts retreated in fear.
The Law God sneered, "Want to escape? It's too late. You're all staying here. There will be no place for you in the new world."
Suddenly,
A sudden change occurred in the sky.
The giant eyeball cracked open, and a terrifying Thunder pillar, several miles thick, fell.
The red-haired monster was blasted away, half of its body destroyed, and all the tentacles on its surface were burned away.
The monster exploded with a roar, turning into tens of thousands of flesh worms. The vast majority were obliterated by the Thunder, but a small portion escaped into the void, their whereabouts unknown.
The Law God's expression changed. That damned monster was unreliable after all.
He hurriedly used the scepter to defend himself. He wanted to run, but he couldn't leave the confines of Chaos City, so he could only resist.
Eighteen layers of defensive force fields were erected, but under the earth-shattering Thunder, they shattered layer by layer.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The giant eyeball's attacks became more and more violent, without end.
"I'll fight you to the death!"
The Law God phantom began to burn, transforming into a stream of light that poured into the scepter in his hand. The Supreme Eye also merged into the scepter, becoming a gem embedded within it.
From the tip of the scepter, a vast, white ray burst forth, like a training of silk, hanging upside down in the sky.
The giant eyeball was pierced by this strike, and a desolate, ancient roar echoed faintly.
"Roar!"
A supremely majestic voice resounded throughout a radius of a thousand miles. All living beings within prostrated themselves.
The Winged Tiger Barbarian King, on the verge of death, knelt on the ground, murmuring, "Eye of Azure Sky! Spirit of Azure Sky! Please help us... return home!"
Not long ago, he had received a secret scripture called "Azure Sky Ancient Ballad" in his dreams.
He guessed that the courage of the Barbarian Race had drawn the attention of the Spirit of Azure Sky to them, trapped in this world, and thus it had passed down the method through a dream.
However, the price of using this method was his life.
Now, although he was dying, he vaguely saw the dawn of the Barbarian Race's escape from this place.
After the roar.
The clouds around the giant eyeball turned to the color of gilded gold, and billions of golden lightning bolts darted wildly within.
Accompanied by a golden pillar of thunder that reached the sky and earth, majestic and grand, descended.
The Supreme Scepter was knocked away, and the unwilling voice of the Supreme Law God echoed in this place.
"Sauron, though I die, an supreme will has noticed the Ancient Tower. All the arrangements you painstakingly left behind will one day turn into fleeting dreams!"
Even until his dissipation, the person he hated the most was still Sauron, not the giant eyeball before him.
In mid-air.
The Supreme Scepter floated quietly, emitting a soft white light. No matter how the giant eyeball attacked, it could not penetrate this protective shield.
The Winged Tiger Barbarian King's heart tightened.
"Could it be that it still won't succeed?"
Around Chaos City, the Primal Soul Wizards, realizing that something was wrong, had already retreated. The world was desolate, and only the Winged Tiger Barbarian King gazed at the sky with a dazed expression.
The great battle was nearing its end.
In the wilderness tens of thousands of miles away.
Levi was quietly cultivating, waiting for the Ancient Tower to close and teleport him back.
In the Law Ring Holy Tower, Sauron's Four Treasures, the Sword of Victory, and other treasures revolved leisurely around the seven-colored crystal.
Suddenly.
Sauron's Four Treasures trembled, emitting four rays of light of different colors.
Yellow, red, black, and blue intertwined and merged together, forming a chaotic white.
Levi quickly asked:
"Everyone, what's going on?"
The Mirror of True Knowledge said in confusion:
"I don't know either... Could it be that Sauron left other means on us? Damn it, what else don't we know?"
The usually reliable and knowledgeable Tea Party Round Table also shook its head in bewilderment:
"I'm not sure either, but my intuition tells me that it's inseparable from the battle of Chaos City... The Supreme Law God is transformed from a wisp of the Chaos Ancient Serpent's remnant soul, and those so-called divine artifacts in his hands, I don't think he refined them, they may have been refined by Sauron."
The Holy Grail said: "Let's wait and see what happens. If it's a blessing, it's not a curse, and if it's a curse, we can't avoid it..."
Levi's danger perception did not give a warning, and he didn't know if it was good or bad.
Faced with power that might involve Sauron, danger perception was useless.
After thinking about it, he temporarily took out Sauron's Four Treasures and placed them on the ground. Then, he used void traversal to leave this place and observe. Whether it was useful or not, he would stay away before figuring out the situation.
In the wilderness.
Four giant dragon phantoms of different shapes shot out.
Immortal Banyan Dragon, Nether Lantern Dragon, Jade Dragon, Brilliant Sea Dragon.
These dragon phantoms, spanning tens of thousands of miles, arrived at Chaos City.
Above the Supreme Scepter, a Chaos Ancient Serpent phantom, even more majestic than the four great dragons, emerged.
Its head reached the azure sky, its tail extended to the nine nether regions, and each scale was like a mountain.
After hundreds of thousands of years, the miserable master and four servants reunited.
These phantoms had no consciousness, only projections of power.
On top of the ancient serpent's head stood a white-robed phantom, no different from an ordinary person.
He had a handsome face, a smiling expression, and eyes that contained the Milky Way.
He was incredibly small, yet he made the five dragons, who could reach the sky and earth, look like mere foils.
Ancestor of Wizards, Sauron! He single-handedly ended the chaotic ancient wizard era and established the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council organization.
Sauron, the strongest in the Pan-Dimensional world from ancient times to the present! He stood with his hands behind his back, pointed a finger, and the serpent and four dragons roared towards the giant eyeball.
Boom, boom, boom! The five dragon phantoms tore apart the vortex within a hundred miles.
After the explosion, the battered giant eyeball transformed from gold to an eerie black.
Pitch-black thunder pillars poured down, like the Milky Way falling from the nine heavens.
The thunder pillars broke through the five dragon phantoms and headed towards Sauron.
Sauron pointed a finger.
Legendary Forbidden Spell - Sauron's Great Disintegration Technique.
Before the thunder pillars could get close, they were disintegrated and erased by an invisible force.
In the sky, the giant eyeball shattered like a broken crystal ball, scattering into endless fragments and disappearing without a trace.
The terrifying spell disintegrated the wind disaster layer within a hundred miles, disintegrated an invisible curtain surrounding this world, revealing the scene behind it.
What came into view was an extremely thick flesh and blood barrier, covered with billions of magic runes that twinkled like stars. This was... the wall of the Dark Ancient Tower!
The walls were covered with murals bearing the marks of time, each recording a thrilling world-destroying war.
At this moment, a freshly baked giant eyeball pattern was imprinted on it.
Seeing this, the Winged Tiger Barbarian King, who knew the truth, was disheartened and completely despaired.
"The Spirit of Azure Sky is not the only powerful existence to descend upon this world... From ancient times to the present, I don't know how many people like me have tried to resist, leave this place, or even summon the power of their respective gods to descend... but without exception, they have all failed. In the next ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years, such events will continue to be staged."
He recalled the words of the fallen Law Gods.
"He is indeed protecting us... because the truth behind it is more cruel than we imagined. All efforts are in vain."
He closed his eyes, died completely, and his expression was peaceful.
In the hole, the powerful force of the Ancient Tower began to self-repair. The sky returned to its original state, becoming a bright mirror. The flesh and blood barrier just now seemed to be just an illusion.
Before the Sauron phantom dissipated, his gaze passed through endless worlds and looked towards the Ninth Layer.
At the checkpoint leading to the Tenth Layer, there was only one door.
In front of the door, Bo Gu's figure slowly disintegrated, splitting into billions of amethyst fragments, turning into a purple torrent, and dissipating into the world.
"I... I didn't even see where the guardian was? Why? Why?!"
Bo Gu roared unwillingly, his consciousness plunged into eternal darkness.
Far away.
The other two members of the Amethyst Clan were also in danger.
Powerful auras surrounded them.
These Primal Soul Wizards, returning from the battlefield, were connected in momentum. The endless ocean rolled back and enveloped the two Amethyst Clan members, forming a blue planet with a diameter of a thousand miles.
After the planet dissipated, only two amethysts floated in the air.
Two Eighth Ring Amethyst Clan members, dead! The leader of the battle group said, "It seems that the strongest Amethyst Clan member has already died in front of the door to the Tenth Layer... Truly overestimating himself."
Lucy gazed at the doorway leading to the Tenth Layer, her heart as still as an ancient well.
She had long anticipated this outcome.
"The one who can enter the Tenth Layer has not yet arrived..."
Suddenly.
She felt a sensation.
Before her, a doorway appeared.
Around other battle group Wizards, including those in the base, doorways also materialized.
A wave of suction emanated from them, irresistible even to Eighth Ring Wizards.
All the battle group Wizards vanished from the Ninth Layer's world.
Endless Sea.
Outer Ring Region.
Yellow Earth Continent.
Mirror Lake remained serene, a silent witness to the many changes in the continent's Wizard civilization.
A doorway emerged, and a vibrant, blue-haired Witch pushed it open, stepping onto the familiar land.
She spread her arms, embracing the entire world, sunlight shimmering on her hair and face.
"It feels so good to be home... Thank you again, Lord Sauron."
She murmured inwardly.
Whether entering the Ancient Tower or leaving it, Lord Sauron's will seemed to be protecting her and the battle group Wizards.
A deep blue sphere emerged from Lucy's chest, the Prototype Machine, its light scanning everything around.
Deep Blue exclaimed excitedly:
"Outer Ring Fifth District, Yellow Earth Continent... Madam, we're really back!"
Lucy said:
"Yes... Deep Blue Sage is a thing of the past. The story of Lucy has begun!"
On the other side.
Outer Ring Ninth District.
Whether by fate or coincidence.
Two doorways floated above Gray-White Island, and the Tower Master and Stella emerged.
They stared in disbelief at everything before them.
Stella said in an excited, mechanical voice:
"We... we're back?"
The Tower Master's body trembled at this moment.
"Yes, after two hundred years, we've finally returned... It seems the Gray-White Tower has also suffered changes; it's now a ruin. I wonder how the others are."
Stella patted the Tower Master with her tail and smiled, "They're definitely alive. Let's go find them."
Dark Ancient Tower.
Fifth Layer.
Ai Ou Continent.
Chaos City, a ruin.
The outcome of the final battle remained unknown.
In such a devastating, wide-ranging attack, no one dared to stay near the battlefield.
Even if there were any remaining spoils of war, they would be destroyed, or buried by wind and sand, waiting for future generations to find them by chance.
This event would become a secret forever sealed within the Ancient Tower.
In this decisive battle, almost all Sixth Ring powerhouses had fallen, benefiting many Primal Soul Wizards.
The Barbarian Race and Demon Race were both severely weakened, leaving only a few sparks of civilization to continue to multiply in the Northern Territory and the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.
Perhaps, tens of thousands of years later, such events would be staged again, but the final outcome was already destined.
Several days later.
Some Primal Soul Wizards returned to the battlefield one after another, trying to scavenge for leftovers.
They noticed that the statues of the Chaos Church and the Supreme Law God in various places all shattered at the same time.
This meant that the Supreme Law God, the powerful native who had ruled Ai Ou for countless years, had most likely fallen...
And the Supreme Law God's two divine artifacts, whether it was the Supreme Eye or the Supreme Scepter, were definitely rare and powerful treasures.
If they could pick one up, it would be more than all their previous gains combined.
Unfortunately, the Primal Soul Wizards dug three feet into the ground around the battlefield, searching for a month, but failed to find the whereabouts of the two divine artifacts.
The divine artifacts were either destroyed by the giant eyeball's world-destroying Thunder punishment, or taken away by other lucky ones.
At the same time.
In the outside world.
The Ancient Tower began to tremble, and the Darkness Zone seemed to be stirred up, constantly rolling.
The Fire Monarch looked at the Amethyst Clan who had fallen in the Ninth District, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"The new ten thousand years, perhaps some interesting people will be born... I'm actually a little looking forward to it."
He stood up and stretched, and the Dragon Spawn Venerable and the Amethyst Saint stepped aside.
The Fire Monarch walked in the Darkness Zone on his own, each step seeming to cross endless distances.
Before long, he disappeared into the Darkness Zone.
The second strongest being in the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council, who had finished watching the show, was going home to sleep.
The Amethyst Saint unwillingly looked at the Dark Ancient Tower, and the projection began to gradually dissipate.
"Failed again... Why?"
In the end.
Only the Dragon Spawn Venerable's projection remained, looking at the Fifth District.
He was in a good mood, and muttered: "It seems that little guy won't appear... Interesting, although the pan-dimension is vast, but I have a feeling that one day in the future, we will meet."
Whether meeting as friends or as enemies, the Dragon Spawn Venerable was looking forward to this day.
Central Realm.
The Wizards who used the Eye of Sauron to observe the pan-dimension breathed a sigh of relief.
"The Fire Monarch has left... the Ancient Tower is about to close."
This news was quickly transmitted through the Wizard Council to the Wizard organizations in various Subspace areas.
In the Wizard world, the families, companions, teachers, etc. of those Ancient Tower participants... were all looking forward to this day.

Endless Sea.
House of Witches.
Triss and several Primal Soul Witches looked at the Ancient Tower that was gradually fading in the Sky.
The Snow Lotus Witch's mother, the Wind Witch, said:
"Your Ai Niya is really impressive, successfully advanced to Fifth Ring as well."
Triss said with a beaming smile:
"That little Snow Lotus girl is also quite remarkable. I can tell you've put a lot of effort into nurturing her... Alas, I've been too busy. I haven't really taken care of Ai Niya much; he's mostly self-taught."
The Wind Witch chuckled:
"I haven't really managed that girl either... Her achievements today are all thanks to her own talent."
The two mothers were subtly competing, the air thick with unspoken rivalry.
Several days later.
Darkness Zone.
The Ancient Tower completely dissipated, transforming into a stream of light and vanishing without a trace.
The projection of the Ancient Tower was gone from Nora's Sky forever.
On the training grounds of the House of Witches.
Figures landed one after another. Not only Wizards, but also some extraordinary creatures and rare plants that had been contracted or controlled by the Wizards appeared together. These were all their gains from this trip.
Ai Niya spotted his smiling mother in the crowd at a glance.
"I'm back!"
Triss smiled and said, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back... Also, give my hairpin back!"
Ai Niya's face was covered in black lines. It seemed his repeated losing of the hairpin had been discovered by his mother.
He obediently took out the hairpin and handed it to his mother.
Triss took the hairpin, wiped it, and then inserted it into her neatly arranged bun, exuding a mature feminine charm.
She said without any politeness, "You're a Fifth Ring Wizard now... Don't expect me to help you anymore."
Ai Niya shrugged, indicating he didn't care, and returned to Nether King City.
Triss gazed into the distance.
"Elena and Levi must be back as well, right?"
Ancient Saint Plane.
On a hillside covered in Flowers.
Three figures emerged.
It was Levi, Elena, and Solett.
Sixty-six years had passed, a long time, yet it felt like the snap of a finger.
Levi looked at Elena and Solett. Apart from their cultivation levels, everyone seemed unchanged.
Solett's mental Strength should already be over 900 points, not far from the limit. His Strength had improved a lot compared to before entering the Ancient Tower.
Levi said:
"Solett, you should go back first. Elena and I have something to talk about."
Solett silently retreated.
Elena sensed something and then sighed with surprise, "Seeing it with my own eyes now, I realize your mental Strength has already exceeded that of an ordinary Fifth Ring Completion... You must have consumed quite a few rare items, haven't you?"
Levi said, "Uh, not much, not much..."
Elena was puzzled but didn't continue to ask.
There were many opportunities within the Dark Ancient Tower, and these were everyone's secrets.
In 66 years, Levi had grown from the Fourth Ring realm to Fifth Ring Completion.
Although this progress was fast, it was still a bit behind her own back then. After all, she had advanced to Primal Soul at the age of three hundred.
Hundred Flowers smiled:
"Your achievements in the path of Wizardry far exceed my initial expectations. I underestimated you... Regardless, I'm sincerely happy for you!"
Levi smiled slightly: "Thank you for the praise. Actually... compared to others, I'm just a bit more hardworking and a bit luckier. As the saying goes, the harder you work, the luckier you get."
Hundred Flowers rolled her eyes at him. Levi's achievements couldn't be achieved through ordinary hard work and luck.
"Forget it, I'm not concerned about that. This is the Morning Star-level wondrous item you wanted. Our cooperation was very pleasant this time, and we can continue to cooperate in the future... I'm going back to the Sword Flower Tower to digest the gains from the Ancient Tower. If you return to the Wizard World, Tower Master, you're welcome to visit."
She handed Levi a severed finger contained in a jar, covered with purple runes of truth, exuding an aura of Thunder and destruction.
"Thank you!"
Levi watched Hundred Flowers's chic figure leave.
Then, he happily put away the wondrous item and returned to the Emperor Palace.
He still had some urgent matters to research and wouldn't return to the Holy Temple for the time being.
Emperor Palace.
Levi's figure appeared in the former secret chamber. He set up a Magic Array and sat down cross-legged.
In his mind.
Around the seven-colored crystal, in addition to Sauron's Four Treasures, there was another scepter-shaped treasure resembling a ten-story Ancient Tower.
With a thought, he summoned the scepter into his hand.
Its texture was cold, with segments like the Cold Weapon: Mace of Qin Qiong, the door god from his previous life.
At the top of the scepter was the ferocious head of the Chaos Ancient Serpent. A spherical object like an eyeball was embedded in its forehead.
Clearly, this scepter was formed by combining the two divine artifacts of the Supreme Law God.
This was the fifth treasure Sauron forged in addition to the Four Treasures.
It was divided into two divine artifacts by the remnant soul of the Chaos Ancient Serpent: the Supreme Eye and the Supreme Scepter.
After Sauron's Four Treasures mutated that day, the scepter appeared in Levi's mind, and its true name was:
[Ancient Tower Scepter]
There was no artifact spirit in this treasure. Levi speculated that the remnant soul of the Chaos Ancient Serpent might be its artifact spirit.
However, for some reason, the artifact spirit had escaped the control of the scepter... or rather, Sauron had done it deliberately.
And Levi also understood the true function of this scepter.
That was to grant Levi a portion of the Ancient Tower's authority.
With a thought, a message surged into his mind from the scepter.
[Ancient Tower Enforcer (Fifth Ring Authority)] [Enforcer Handbook] [Ancient Tower Opening Countdown: 100 years]
That's right.
Levi, by chance, had become an Enforcer of the Dark Ancient Tower.
As everyone knows, each layer of the Dark Ancient Tower has a corresponding Enforcer.
They are mostly elemental spirits, possessing strength far exceeding that of the layer, responsible for guarding checkpoints, maintaining order, and preventing things like 'fish bombing'.
And Levi was now one of them, but his status was even more transcendent than those Enforcers.
Those Enforcers could only wander within the Ancient Tower. But he was outside the Ancient Tower.
According to the Enforcer Handbook, as a Fifth Ring extra-dimensional Enforcer, he had the following permissions and obligations.
First, taking the closing of the Ancient Tower this time as a time node, he can enter the Ancient Tower once every century and stay there for a year. During the opening period, he can freely choose to enter any of the first five layers of the Ancient Tower. He can explore and collect resources from it like a normal participant in the Ancient Tower. However, only he himself can enter; any other methods of sneaking in, including through the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm, will not work. Otherwise, he will be punished by the rules of the Ancient Tower and have his Enforcer authority revoked.
Second, if a powerful entity like the Spirit of Azure Sky infiltrates the Ancient Tower, the eyeball embedded in the scepter will project a real-time warning. He needs to use the four treasures of Sauron and the power of the scepter to eliminate such enemies.
Although the Ancient Tower is powerful, the possibilities in the multi-dimensional planes are endless. An supreme will like the Spirit of Azure Sky can still pose a threat to the normal operation of the Ancient Tower's rules.
Of course, with Levi's current strength, he doesn't need to directly face those terrifying existences. He only needs to use his Enforcer authority, and then power will naturally obliterate these invaders.
This task was previously completed by the Supreme Law God, but his authority was not complete because he only had the Ancient Tower Scepter and not the other four treasures. After Levi entered the Ancient Tower, all the items of authority were completely gathered.
Therefore, this Ancient Tower Scepter theoretically contains extremely terrifying power, but Levi cannot "abuse his power," or he will be severely punished.
Third, as a Fifth Ring Enforcer, Levi can bring out a small number of alien races from within the Ancient Tower without affecting the basic order of the Ancient Tower, but he must fulfill his strict obligation to restrain the alien races he brings out.
In comparison, other Wizards can only bring out some extraordinary creatures or mortals with Wizard talents from the Ancient Tower. They are not allowed to bring out any alien races from within the Ancient Tower.
If not for this authority, even if Levi had the Ancient Banyan Immortal Realm, he might not have been able to bring out Martha and her daughter. But Aya and the Heaven Crystal Dragon Ant are completely fine.
In short, it's okay to abduct "NPCs" from the Ancient Tower, but it must be done appropriately.
Fourth, during the Ancient Tower's opening period, which occurs once every ten thousand years, Levi can join other Enforcers in the Ancient Tower to "punish" participants who bully the weak or violate the rules, according to the relevant articles in the Handbook.
In the Handbook, some of Levi's other questions were also answered.
For example, the natives of the lower layers of the first five layers can go to the upper layers, with Aio being the destination.
As for the checkpoints leading to the Sixth Layer and above, they are not open to the natives. This may be to prevent the natives from constantly climbing the tower, their strength becoming too inflated, and giving birth to some powerful existences that affect the balance of the Ancient Tower over the long years. That's why the Barbarian Race and Demon Race powerhouses have to try their best to attack the Supreme Law God.
But even if they kill the Supreme Law God, they will not be able to leave. Their task is to play their roles well within the Ancient Tower.
Although this is cruel, it is also for the good of the Wizard civilization.
After reading the Handbook, Levi revealed a look of joy.
"I actually became a privileged dog of the Ancient Tower... The Dark Ancient Tower is indeed destined for me!"
Of course, although he is a privileged dog, there is a limit to what he can do.
The main thing is to shorten the opening time of the Ancient Tower to once every century.
This way, he doesn't have to wait ten thousand years to re-enter the Ancient Tower, and he can stay inside for a year.
A century is a long time, but it's okay for Levi.
If he can live for more than ten thousand years, then he will have entered the Ancient Tower a hundred times before the next opening.
"From the looks of it now, Sauron opened a back door in the Ancient Tower for the so-called destined person... Regardless of whether this destined person is me or not, it's a bargain for me anyway.
Of course, with my strength alone, even if it opens once every century, I can only take a scoop of resources from the Ancient Tower. It is still insignificant to the vast Ancient Tower ecosystem."
Moreover, with his Fifth Ring authority, he can only enter the "novice village" of the first five layers.
According to the Enforcer Handbook, he needs to have Sixth Ring strength and complete certain "assessment tasks" to obtain Sixth Ring and Seventh Ring authority and go to the Sixth and Seventh Layers.
By analogy, Eighth Ring authority requires Seventh Ring strength, Ninth Ring authority requires Eighth Ring strength, and as for Tenth Ring authority, the Enforcer Handbook does not explicitly state it.
This involves the Tenth Layer, which no one in the Ancient Tower has ever entered, and may contain the greatest secret of the Ancient Tower. Naturally, it cannot be easily known, even if he is an Enforcer.
Levi had a thought.
The Ancient Tower Scepter, which looked like a treasure, turned into a very ordinary Wizard staff.
The Ancient Tower Scepter is made from a section of the Chaos Ancient Serpent's Dragon Spine and an eyeball.
With Sauron's level, this is definitely a genuine Tenth Ring exotic treasure.
Although it is a Tenth Ring exotic treasure, its functions are very limited.
Because the main functions are related to Enforcer authority.
The other functions are attached, mainly three.
First, the eyeball at the top of the scepter can monitor the situation of some alien races in the first five layers of the Ancient Tower.
Second, using the Ancient Tower Scepter to cast spells can greatly amplify the power of the spells.
Third, the Ancient Tower Scepter is very strong and can be used as a melee weapon to directly swing at people. The effect is very good and suitable for Body Refinement Wizards.
Some people, on the surface, are Wizards, but in reality, they rely on their staffs to beat their enemies to death.
That's right, it's Levi's Gandalf persona.
