The female martial artist stepped aside.
"Keep going, Chenqian!"
Cheers came from behind from Feng Manlin and the others. Shen Qian waved his hand and stepped onto the arched bridge without looking back.
As if piercing through a curtain of icy water, Chen Qian's body trembled, and all the surrounding noise disappeared.
Looking back, there is an endless, vast starry sky behind me.
The wide square and bustling crowds have all disappeared, leaving only the arched bridge beneath our feet and the towering pagoda standing before the sunken building in this desolate space.
At the same time, a wave of information flooded into Shen Qian's mind: the basic rules of the Tower of Myriad Forms.
The Tower of Myriad Forms is a single-player secret realm, which means that every martial artist who enters will be teleported into a separate challenge space.
Each level is evaluated based on a percentage of completion. A score of 60% or higher is considered passing and qualifies you to move on to the next level.
If the completion rate is less than 60% on a certain floor, you will be teleported out of the tower.
The first layer is the only exception.
Just as Bai Fei said, only the first floor of the Myriad Pagoda has no completion requirement.
Furthermore, the Tower of All Things does not allow the use of any external aids, including all psionic equipment; those who violate this rule will be removed from the tower immediately.
After understanding the rules, Chen Qian strode across the arched bridge and arrived at the stone gate engraved with mountains, rivers, lakes and seas.
Just as Shen Qian placed his hand on the stone door, before he could even make a pushing motion, a violent suction force came over him, and everything went black before Shen Qian's eyes, and he lost consciousness.
...
When he regained his senses, he was already enveloped in a hazy mist.
"This is the first level of the Tower of Myriad Forms?"
He checked himself before sinking and found nothing unusual, so he felt relieved.
He looked around curiously, and sure enough, his mental energy found the area completely empty. The only strange thing was that his consciousness couldn't reach the edge.
It's as if this place is a boundless void.
Following Bai Fei's instructions, Shen Qian began searching for the entrance to the second level.
After an unknown amount of time, Shen Qian's gaze suddenly sharpened.
A faint, colorful light appeared in the mist ahead.
Thinking he had finally found an exit, Chen Qian quickly moved towards that area.
The colorful light drew closer and closer, and as Shen Qian suddenly quickened his pace, he finally crashed headfirst into the colorful halo.
boom!
Something exploded in Shen Qian's mind, and when he regained his consciousness in a daze, the surrounding fog had disappeared.
Where is this?
Startled, I stepped forward and suddenly realized that I was standing with my hands behind my back in the vast starry sky.
Not far beneath our feet, a blue planet, shrouded in layers of white clouds, is slowly rotating.
Earth!
He paused for a moment before sinking.
To be precise, the incredibly beautiful planet beneath his feet is the "old Earth" imprinted in history textbooks.
It is said that this is what Earth looked like before the catastrophe: the sky was clear, the ocean was blue, and the poles were distinct.
There are no restricted areas, no perpetual thunderclouds, no sandstorms, and no dark storms or whirlpools on the sea.
Shen Qian never imagined that he would actually be able to see the normal Earth that he had only ever seen in photos.
For a moment, Shen Qian stared at the magnificent planet before him, somewhat mesmerized.
Until he let out a long sigh.
I paused for a moment, realizing I hadn't meant to sigh!
Shen Qian immediately realized something was wrong, because he himself stretched out his palm and pointed it at the blue planet beneath his feet.
But these were not the actions he wanted to take.
He suddenly realized that the "he" at that moment was not himself.
He was simply adopting someone else's perspective and experiencing another story.
Then something even more shocking happened before the sinking.
He waved his hand, as if dispelling some kind of illusion, and the blue earth beneath his feet suddenly began to fade.
A murky mix of colors and raging spiritual energy once again enveloped the Earth. Strange wisps of light began to spread across every corner of the planet, and the ocean surged with towering waves, as if to engulf everything.
In the blink of an eye, Earth became the same as it was in my pre-sinking memories.
A sigh came from the mysterious figure who had entered the body before the sinking.
"How beautiful our 'home' was back then... It's a pity that although order has been restored for the time being, some things can never be returned to. If we want to go fishing again, we'll have to go to the deep sea to catch the Dragon King. Don't you all agree?"
The voice came from his own body. Just as Shen Qian was wondering who "I" was talking to, the mysterious person suddenly turned around.
It was only then that Shen Qian was shocked to discover that there were dozens of figures standing in this starry sky.
Each of them carried a hazy aura, appearing at first glance to be hundreds or thousands of meters tall. Most importantly, Shen Qian saw some unusually familiar faces among them.
The Jiangling King, with his ethereal and otherworldly figure; the Yanling King, as beautiful as an elf; the Zhenbei King, with his solemn face like a war god; and the Ganwu King, whose body is shrouded in a black robe...
The first generation of nine kings!
Besides the nine kings of China, there were also some foreign kings and nobles of various skin colors.
Shen Qian immediately realized that the dozens of figures in front of him were the first kings and nobles of the world, that is... the founders of the Tower of All Things.
Then who is "oneself"?
Shen Qian caught a glimpse of white out of the corner of his eye and instantly made a guess.
He was almost certain that this was not what was happening now, but rather a memory preserved in this real-time video format.
