Chapter 1378 I Need Help
"Sir." Xue Wu, Uesugi Nao and Dong Shi immediately bowed when they saw Xian coming.
Jiang Yan walked past the three people and came to the fence. He looked up at a pillar in the center of the Tower of Babel. The pillar was made of metal and crystal. Although it was erected in the center of the Tower of Babel, its current height had exceeded the seven completed floors of the Tower of Babel.
Jiang Yan stood at the fence of the seventh floor and had to look up at the sky-high platform to barely see its top.
"Sir, according to the current progress, it should be completed in another twenty days." Uesugi Nao said from behind.
"It's too late." Jiang Yan muttered to himself.
"Sir, if there were another twenty days, it would only have taken twenty-seven days, which is less than a month." Uesugi Nao said with some confusion.
Jiang Yan didn't explain, but said calmly: "All of you go out and guard the Tower of Babel. Don't let anyone get close to here."
"Sir, what happened?" The three of them were shocked, and the Blood Witch asked hurriedly.
"Go ahead and guard it well." Jiang Yan didn't explain, but just looked at the terrace and said lightly.
"Yes." After Jiang Yan said this, Uesugi Nao and the others didn't dare to ask any more questions and left the Tower of Babel together.
Before walking down the seventh floor, Dongshi looked at Jiang Yan, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, and followed Xuewu and the others down the Tower of Babel.
Although Jiang Yan didn't say anything, they knew that something must have happened, otherwise the immortal would not say that, so they immediately summoned all the guardians in the Tower of Babel and began to deploy defenses near the Tower of Babel.
After all the people who had built the Tower of Babel had left, Jiang Yan walked to the foot of the huge pillar and followed the steps winding around the stone pillar, step by step, towards the top of the platform.
Currently, only about one-third of the terrace has been built, and the highest point is still under construction. However, when Jiang Yan arrived at the highest point of the terrace, he could already overlook the surroundings.
"Time is too short. Although it is difficult to reach the sky in one step, I have to give it a try." Jiang Yan looked up at the void, and on the forehead of the guardian armor on his body, there was a mysterious crystal like a vertical eye, emitting a strange light.
The crystal that looks like an eye or a pupil seems to have an endless abyss inside. Any light that falls on it will be absorbed by it, but it itself emits a faint light, which is like a tentacle. Wherever the light reaches, it is like tentacles as thin as hair piercing into the void.
The giant pillar of the unfinished platform under Jiang Yan's feet came into contact with the tentacle-like light, and the crystals embedded in the metal like patterns gradually lit up.
As the light from the Dengtian Terrace shone brightly, the eye-like crystal on Jiang Yan's forehead became deeper and darker, and the tentacle-like rays of light became more and more numerous, spreading out like countless transparent hairs, filling the void and extending to an unknown place.
Those lights flashed with strange streams of light from time to time, just like cables transmitting signals. The stronger the light from the rooftop, the stronger and more numerous the streams of light on those lights became.
However, Jiang Yan seemed to be enduring great pain. His body was shaking slightly involuntarily, his eyes were bloodshot, and even the capillaries under his skin began to rupture.
The Blood Witch and others who were guarding outside the Tower of Babel were all shocked when they saw the platform was shining brightly, while the top seemed to be shrouded in darkness.
"The Sky Platform is only one-third completed, and its effectiveness has been greatly reduced. Lord Xian wants to use it to contact the other dimension now. Isn't it too risky?" The Blood Witch said in surprise.
"To establish contact with another dimension, a huge amount of energy is required as a price. The Tower of Babel itself is an energy gathering device, and the Skydeck is like a signal amplifier. Even without the energy gathering function of the Tower of Babel, as long as the energy of the body is sufficient, the signal amplification ability of the Skydeck can be used to establish contact with another dimension. However, even with an amplification effect, extremely strong energy is required to succeed. Now the amplification effect is only one-third or even lower. It is hard to say whether the signal can be sent into the other dimension. If something goes wrong and the energy is not sent out and backfires on the body, then Lord Immortal will be in danger." Uesugi Nao said with some concern.
Dongshi seemed to have already guessed what Jiang Yan was going to do, and at this moment he was the calmest person.
"Lord Xian dares to do this, he must have his own plans. We'd better guard the Tower of Babel and don't let anyone disturb him, so as to avoid failure." Dongshi knew that what Jiang Yan said before was not aimless.
Uesugi Nao and Blood Witch both nodded slightly and increased their vigilance. At the same time, they notified the headquarters and transferred all the senior guardians stationed there.
Now, even if the Guardian Alliance’s headquarters is razed to the ground, there can’t be any mistakes here.
On the sky platform, cracks had begun to appear on Jiang Yan's guardian armor. His body had also endured the terrifying power that seeped through the cracks, and his skin quickly turned gray. His originally crystal skin turned to dust in an instant, and with the fluctuation of space, bits of it flew out.
The access platform has not been built yet. It is not just one-third of its function. The incomplete access platform will cause great harm to the users.
Jiang Yan ignored his own body that had turned to ashes, and continued to stare at the void pierced by light.
Snap!
Cracks appeared on the crystal at the forehead of the Guardian Armor. This was due to the adverse effects of the direct impact of the amplification effect of the Ascension Platform.
"Please, it will be fine soon, just hold on a little longer." Jiang Yan prayed silently in his heart.
However, the cracks on the crystal continued to increase and soon covered the entire crystal. The crystal was like a glass ball that had been burned with fire and then immersed in cold water. Countless cracks crisscrossed each other. If a little more force was applied, it would disintegrate instantly.
"Just a little bit more... just a little bit more..." Jiang Yan stared at the void. The exposed parts of his body where his armor was broken had turned gray, revealing his white bones, but he still felt nothing.
Suddenly, where the light penetrated, a strange light spread out, forming a luminous human-shaped figure, as if it was the arrival of a god that could not be gazed at by humans.
"Jiang Yan, is this the answer you gave me?" The light and shadow looked down at the half-finished Tower of Babel and the Sky-ascending Platform coldly and said unhappily.
"I'm in some trouble and need help," Jiang Yan said.
"I have given you enough help. If I need to solve everything myself, what else do I need you for? Are you telling me that I need to find another spokesperson in the human world?" The light and shadow said coldly.
