"The fifth level challenge begins. If you defeat your opponent, the challenge will be successful."
Soon, the system voice came.
Hearing the prompt, the man in green looked up at Lu Ping with a hint of mockery on his face.
"A mere ant, you think you can challenge me? You're just wishful thinking!"
After a moment, the man in green shirt slowly spoke.
Hearing this, Lu Ping sneered. He didn't expect this guy to be so arrogant.
In that case, take my brick.
"go....."
Lu Ping shouted.
The next moment, Lu Ping's eyebrows suddenly lit up.
Immediately, a golden light shot up into the sky and turned into a huge golden brick in the void.
Buzz~~
Immediately afterwards, the gold brick flew out and turned into a golden light rushing towards the man in green.
The man in green shirt's pupils shrank slightly. He had not expected Lu Ping to use this trick, and hurriedly swung his sword to stop him.
However, there was no time to react.
Puff!
The gold brick pierced directly through the man's abdomen.
puff!
The man in green suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to his knees.
"You...you dare to attack me by surprise...cough cough!"
The man covered his chest, turned around with difficulty, said something, and then fell down.
"Wow, so awesome?"
"Finished in one go?"
Seeing the man fall to the ground and die, Lu Ping was shocked. He didn't expect it to be so easy.
"Hehe, it seems like I really found a treasure."
“Hahaha, cool!”
Lu Ping laughed out loud, very excited.
He never expected that the Divine Brick would be so powerful.
It's definitely a huge profit.
"Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the challenge and unlocking the fifth floor of the Tower of Heroes."
The system prompt sounded.
"System, quick, I want to recruit a fifth-level general?"
Lu Ping said excitedly after taking back the gold bricks.
"Replying to the host, the recruitment period for fifth-level generals is six months, and recruitment is temporarily unavailable."
The system replied coldly.
It’s true!
Hearing this, Lu Ping shrugged his shoulders.
Of course Lu Ping knew that there was a recruitment deadline.
He just wanted to get close to it, but he didn't expect to be discovered by the system.
Well, it’s just a six-month wait.
It’s not like Lu Ping can’t wait.
But then again, the system's attitude really annoyed Lu Ping.
"I say, Yinglie Tower, I am your master after all."
"You live in me and survive on my blood."
"It's fine if you're not grateful, but is this how you treat me?"
"You act like a big shot every day. No matter what you ask, you never know the answer."
"Do you think this is appropriate?"
Lu Ping complained.
"I understand what the host means."
"But all this is for the host's good. Knowing too much is actually harmful to the host."
"However, since the host said so."
"Host, feel free to ask whatever you want to know, but I can't guarantee to answer all of them."
After a moment, the system's cold voice sounded.
"Really, may I ask?"
"Well, then, please introduce yourself first."
"Who are you? Where are you from?"
Lu Ping asked tentatively.
"To answer the host's question, first of all, I am not a system, but a spirit, the spirit of the Tower of Heroes."
"I come from a higher dimensional world. My purpose in possessing the host is to protect the host's safety."
Yinglieta replied.
When Lu Ping heard Yinglie Tower's answer, he was stunned.
What the hell?
What is the higher dimensional world?
There are also weapon spirits. Aren’t weapon spirits something that only exists in novels about cultivating immortals?
Who am I?
Why is protection needed?
A series of doubts suddenly filled Lu Ping's mind.
"The host must be very confused and have many questions to ask, but I cannot provide any further answers regarding the above questions."
"The only thing I can tell you is that the world where the host is located is about to face a terrible disaster."
"My mission is to protect the host and keep him alive in this disaster."
The spirit of the weapon continued.
Lu Ping opened his mouth but didn't say a word.
His mind was in a mess and he couldn't understand what was happening before his eyes.
This amount of information is really too much, he needs to digest it carefully.
"The disaster you're talking about is the battlefield of all nations? Or is it the devil's lair?"
After pondering for a long time, Lu Ping finally asked.
"The host guessed correctly. The disaster came from the demon cave."
"The host's world is a low-level world, and the universe always follows the law of the jungle."
"The creatures in the Demon Cave have long been eyeing this world, and the Demon Cave is the passage."
“As time goes by, there will be more and more channels and they will get bigger.”
"That's when the real disaster will strike."
The system explained seriously.
"It really is a demon cave. It seems my guess was right."
"What about the Battlefield of Nations? What is it?"
Lu Ping sighed and continued to ask.
"The Battlefield of Ten Thousand Nations was also created by an advanced civilization, but it's just another advanced civilization."
"On the surface, this civilization appears to be on the side of justice, and is here to help you fight the demon cave."
"They have long been cooperating with the Blue Star government, with the goal of allowing humans to gain superpowers through the battlefield of all nations."
"But there is no free lunch in the world, and their help does not come without cost."
"What's the price?"
Hearing this, Lu Ping immediately asked.
"The price is human lives."
"This advanced civilization needs human souls to sustain its own development."
"In exchange for superpowers, they coerce the governments of various countries on Blue Star and send more humans into the battlefield of all nations."
"The more people die on the battlefields of all nations, the more souls they harvest."
"So, the governments of the various countries on Blue Star have known about this for a long time? And have they been actively cooperating?"
After hearing the system's explanation, Lu Ping gritted his teeth and asked.
"That's right."
"But there's nothing we can do about it, unless governments around the world watch humanity perish."
"Otherwise, humans would have no ability to fight against the creatures in the Demon Cave."
“How many people will die?”
Taking a deep breath, Lu Ping continued to ask.
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be half of the current population."
Hearing this, Lu Ping fell silent.
Although he had some guesses in his mind, this number still shocked Lu Ping.
Half of the population, that’s hundreds of billions.
But Lu Ping also understood that the governments of the Blue Star countries had no choice but to do so.
Lu Ping had witnessed the horror of the creatures in the Demon Cave, and only those with super powers could contend with them.
"The remaining half of the people can gain super powers, is that what you mean?"
"That's right."
"Another question. Since the battlefield of all nations can allow humans to gain superpowers, what is the meaning of the existence of military generals?"
"Of course, military commanders have a purpose. In the future, they will become human assistants, fighting alongside humans against the creatures of the Demon Cave."
