Global Game: I Can Choose Instance Rewards-Chapter 611 - 404: 404 Tower Drop (2)
Not long after he left, the sky in this world gradually darkened. The cold moonlight replaced the glow of the sunset, and Liu Erya, who had just received the edict from the Divine Messenger, began to proclaim a major announcement to the surrounding believers still eating their buns:
"Believers! The great Divine will descend the Holy Tower tonight! To test our devotion! Grant us grace! Please prepare yourselves and wait patiently if you sincerely believe in the Divine!"
As soon as she announced this news, the surrounding believers immediately burst into excitement, discussing and asking her what exactly the Holy Tower is, and what the test and grace from the Divine truly entail.
However, Liu Erya herself was not clear on these matters. She could only reply that the power of the Divine is unfathomable and that everyone would understand when the time comes, asking them not to rush.
Others who were also taking this news seriously included the personnel of the Wind Snow Tower who had been monitoring them, more specifically, Wu Xun and Yang Qingqing, who just finished arranging surveillance disciples and were planning to leave but suddenly heard this major news.
"Junior sister, have you ever heard of the Holy Tower of the Demon Sect?"
At this moment, on a rooftop under the moonlight, Wu Xun looked gravely at Yang Qingqing beside him, worried that the matter they are concerned with is becoming increasingly uncontrollable.
"Indeed, I’ve heard of it, but no expert from the Demon Sect has ever confirmed it... Could the Holy Tower truly exist? And can it shift location?"
Yang Qingqing was equally concerned about the news they just received, as if what the other party said is true, the trouble they have encountered will far exceed their ability to handle, and even if their mentor Xiong Tianli comes, it may be of no use.
"It certainly isn’t that serious... Tiger Head Town is just a small town with less than a hundred thousand people, far inferior to Pingwu City of our sect, how could it attract the Holy Tower of the Demon Sect? This must be that woman making things up!"
Wu Xun proceeded to make his judgment, though he had witnessed the strange item on that woman not long ago, he didn’t believe she could be so influential.
The more crucial point is, from their scant understanding, the Holy Tower of the Demon Sect is a strictly guarded forbidden place, with no rumor mentioning that it could shift location, which makes them all the more perplexed.
"Junior sister, you should go back and rest. I will stay here tonight. I must see what these people are up to!"
Wu Xun thought it over and said to Yang Qingqing, his expression very determined.
However, Yang Qingqing was also intrigued by her curiosity, shaking her head immediately, indicating she had the same thoughts.
"Senior brother, I’m not tired yet, let me join you in countering the Demon Sect’s conspiracy! But we must make a comprehensive preparation, like writing a letter to the sect and our mentor first..."
She was thinking more thoroughly than Wu Xun at this moment. While willing to face risk, she considered the scenario where they might encounter unforeseen circumstances, allowing the backing forces to respond promptly if they encountered issues.
Thus, the night in Tiger Head Town quietly slipped away amid the undercurrents.
Liu Erya united the believers willing to follow her, preparing to enter the Holy Tower for its first descent, while Wu Xun, Yang Qingqing, and others hidden in the shadows were also preparing to address this evidently Demon Sect-related grand conspiracy.
As for Wang Zhifan himself, he was as early as located in the world where the Quantum Dream Realm exists, diligently understanding the principles and structure of this miraculous inner world under the introduction of the maintainer Ying, to enhance his recognition of illusion and reality.
However, he didn’t forget his promise to the believers, after being busy for less than two hours, he sent instructions again to Liu Erya through the cross-world contact of the Faceless Statue, announcing that the Holy Tower will soon descend and they can gather at the designated location.
"Believers! The Holy Tower will land in the west of the town! Please follow me over there!"
At this moment, under the cold moonlight, Liu Erya, who had been waiting for several hours, showed a little excitement on her face, leading over two hundred believers around her to head to the target location, forming a mighty stream of people on the streets that were not very populated at night.
Originally, she didn’t gather this many people, before the moon rose, there were barely fifty, but for some reason, more people came as the sky darkened. Many didn’t seem like commoners but claimed to be moved by the Divine, sincerely believed in this deity, and voluntarily came along, Liu Erya could only gladly accept.
Among them were also Wu Xun and Yang Qingqing disguising in simple changed clothes, each flanking Liu Erya from the sides, constantly paying attention to the surrounding dynamics and developments.
Clearly, Liu Erya didn’t realize she was surrounded by a group of fake believers, or maybe she sensed it but didn’t think it’s a problem, believing the Divine would help solve all detailed troubles.
How the reality unfolded remained uncertain, Wang Zhifan, far away in another world, didn’t alter his plan after sensing this anomaly through her, still preparing to deploy the pitch-black tower.
"Might as well use the Demon Scroll to project the Black Tower over, always going over personally is a bit troublesome."
Originally Wang Zhifan was planning to temporarily return to the Wuji Sect World to place the Black Tower, but remembering he possessed the magical item Demon Scroll and anchored firmly in the Wuji Sect World, he took out the miniaturized Black Tower, set it meticulously, and then used the Demon Scroll to project it accurately across worlds.
This action was undoubtedly resource-consuming, yet Wang Zhifan decided to indulge just once, reasoning that if he insists on developing the path of faith later, he will inevitably need to rely on such convenient operations; it isn’t realistic to always expect his true self to be present.
The fact proved that his attributes, which were unimaginably high compared to other players, indeed sustained such an extravagant act, allowing the miniaturized pitch-black tower under the influence of the Demon Scroll’s power, assisted by the world-crossing strength of the Guest Minister Token, following the guiding presence of Liu Erya, successfully descended.
In the other side of Tiger Head Town, Liu Erya and the others over two hundred people saw such a scene:
When they followed the mysterious village woman to the western side of the town, still wondering where in this unremarkable neighborhood the Holy Tower could be, their eyes were drawn to the night sky above amid exclamations, seeing a small spire appearing within the moon’s outline.
Then this spire rapidly enlarged within their sight, becoming larger than the Wind Snow Tower on the eastern end of the town and very stably halted above their heads, suspended over Tiger Head Town at about fifteen meters high.
"The Divine is above! The Holy Tower has arrived!"
The leading Liu Erya immediately showed frenzy. She was the only true believer present, under the favor of the Divine, gradually becoming a fanatic; seeing the Holy Tower stirred her heart far more than others, for it was the mighty proof of her faith.
"The Divine is above!"
"The Divine is above!"
"The Divine is above!"
...
The other surrounding believers followed her with even more excited shouts.
"What on earth is it up there?! Has the Demon Sect’s flying ship already been made into this form?!"
Hidden among the believers, Wu Xun’s expression was extremely solemn, he didn’t believe this large, peculiar-shape entity that appeared in the night sky could be worthy of being called the Holy Tower, either its color reflecting under moonlight or the aura emanating from it made him feel heavy pressure, instinctively associating it with the Demon Sect.
But the guide Liu Erya had no such thoughts, quickly leading a prayer to the Divine, praying that she could be selected by the Holy Tower and enter to accept the test.
When the prayer reached Wang Zhifan’s ears in another world, he began remote controlling it through the power of the Demon Scroll. Originally, he had set up the Black Tower’s mechanism, thinking of selecting a small portion of the most faithful believers to enter and lead by example, but upon discovering Wu Xun and Yang Qingqing were also present, he decided to play a trick.
"You two, get inside as well!"
With that, he controlled the Black Tower to project down mysterious power, instantly transferring Liu Erya, Wu Xun, Yang Qingqing, and about twenty others into it from the crowd below.
