I took a few deep breaths.
Bai Lu ultimately resisted the urge to unleash a six-star spell, returned to the house, and logged back into the illusionary world.
If the people of the Dragon Kingdom knew what Bai Lu was thinking just now, they would probably be very fortunate.
Thankfully, this witch didn't just impulsively unleash a six-star spell.
Otherwise, the world would be in danger.
"Illusionary Realm, activate."
Buzz—
Returning to the City of Trials, Bai Lu let out a long sigh of relief.
That's too dangerous.
Fortunately, I have strong self-control.
This game needs to be taken more seriously.
Hmm, be more serious.
It seems like my brothers all went to fight that tower. I don't think it was said that you could only fight it if you accepted the awakening quest. You should be able to cast spells freely in that tower, right?
With that thought in mind, Bai Lu walked out of the Awakening Hall.
Before long, they arrived at the Tower of Bewilderment.
Upon arriving there, Bai Lu looked up at the rankings and discovered many familiar names among them.
First Place: Azure Sky - Completion Time: 21 minutes 34 seconds - Floor: 60 (Guild: Godslayer)
Second place: Leng Qingying - Challenge time: 24 minutes and 32 seconds (in progress) - Floor: 58 (Guild: God Killer)
Third Place: Fearless Warrior – Challenge Time: 20 minutes 56 seconds (In Progress) – Floor: 54 (Guild: Godslayer)
...
"They've topped the charts!"
Bai Lu wasn't surprised at all when she saw the list.
This is nothing out of the ordinary for the Godslayer Guild. If the Godslayer Guild didn't dominate the rankings, Bai Lu would find it strange.
"Are Sister Leng and the Idiot Warrior still fighting?"
"It should take about half an hour to complete. I should be able to start playing now."
Afterwards, Bai Lu also walked into the Tower of Bewilderment.
In contrast to Bai Lu's calm and composed demeanor, the players behind her stared at the leaderboard with their mouths agape.
The leaderboard is full of humans, and it's full of the Godslayer Guild!
Has this Tower of Confusion stirred up trouble among humans?

【Slaughterhouse Area】
Having obtained the Core of Life and the Crystal of Confusion, Lu Cang returned to the Wasteland and once again found the researcher who had conducted the stone body experiment on Zuya: Mott.
"I've brought the materials for you."
"That's great, it's a huge help. These Bewilderment Crystals are hard to come by, and I can't enter the Forest of Life with the Core of Life either, the life force there is too strong, I can't stand it."
This time, Lu Cang brought the materials, and Mote no longer had the airs he had at the beginning.
Instead, they eagerly awaited Lu Cang, like flies rubbing their hands together.
"Heh, you know these materials aren't easy to get," Lu Cang sneered.
Seeing this, Mott rubbed his hands together and said with a forced smile, "It's alright, we're about to witness the completion of a great experiment. I guarantee this experiment will be groundbreaking, spanning centuries and the entire course of history. This research will surely..."
"Stop, stop drinking." Lu Cang quickly stopped him.
If I keep talking to him, I don't know when it will stop.
"Can we begin the experiment now?"
"Yes, of course, right now, immediately."
Mote was a completely different person before and after receiving the materials.
After years of research, there's finally progress to be made. How could I not be excited?
Over the years, he asked countless people to help him obtain that damned Crystal of Confusion, but unsurprisingly, all his efforts were in vain.
I didn't have much hope when I met Cangqiong today.
But to his surprise, this person actually brought back the Crystal of Confusion.
As for the Core of Life, it's not that difficult to obtain, but without the Crystal of Confusion, even if you have the Core of Life, it's just empty talk.
Lu Cang followed Mott to the basement.
In the basement, Zuya was strapped to a stone bed by instruments.
Beneath the stone bed is a magic circle.
But on both sides of the stone bed are precision instruments such as lenses, analytical plates, and scanners. It's hard to tell whether this is magic or science.
However, in this world where androids and fantasy species coexist, having some technology is quite normal.
Later on, some races were even able to use technology to create super bombs that could destroy half the world. If I hadn't stopped the bomb from detonating in time in the second life, I probably would have had to restart before even meeting the true god.
"What were the test results?" Lu Cang asked.
Because the identity Lu Cang fabricated was found by searching for Mote through ancient books, he was naturally a fervent admirer of the research.
Lu Cang naturally couldn't refuse to observe the experimental process.
Of course, it can also be interpreted that because of this fabricated identity, Lu Cang obtained permission to observe the experimental process.
"This stone is perfect as an experimental subject; I think it's a perfect fit, 100 out of 10!"
"Oh, that's good."
If it's a good fit, that's fine. If it's not, then this path of changing careers won't work, which is quite troublesome.
Moreover, the bonus from this experiment was a huge boost for Zuya.
It would be such a shame if we didn't get it.
"Help!" Zuya cried out in a low voice.
"Bear with it, it'll be over soon, it's not a bad thing." Zuya, who was tied up, was pitiful, but all Lu Cang could do was reassure it.
And as Lu Cang said this...
Buzz!
On the other side, Mott pulled out a huge chainsaw from the corner of the wall.
Oh, it's not a chainsaw, it's a Magic Power Cutting Saw.
Wu~ Wu~ Wu~
The saw teeth spun rapidly, emitting a terrifying hissing sound.
0.o! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Lu Cang could only comfort him, "It'll be alright soon."
...
The experiment was very successful.
Scattered on the ground were drill bits, long saws, files, acid barrels, syringes, bullets, a book with a face, half a monkey's severed limb, a cursed knife, werewolf claws, nails, and a claw hammer...
The entire experiment did not cause significant harm to Zuya's body.
But it had a huge impact on the mind.
It's unclear whether these terrifying processes actually worked, but the final result was that the Core of Life was perfectly integrated into Zuya's body.
[Matryoshka Regeneration - When health reaches zero, size and constitution values immediately decrease by 15%, and health is restored to 100%. This process can repeat three times. If the user dies after three regenerations, and no health is lost within one hour after triggering this effect, one layer of regeneration is restored, along with an equal amount of constitution and size.]
Zuya has gained a new special ability.
"Using the Crystal of Confusion to extract its profession, allowing it to fuse with the Core of Life with its blank slate essence, it actually succeeded!"
"It is the greatest masterpiece of my life!"
Mote raised both hands towards Zuya, his lips curving into a perfect smile.
After that one movement, he froze in place.
Lu Cang sighed.
His posture froze, but the bandages gradually loosened, and wisps of smoke began to drift out from the gaps in the white bandages.
"Ah, it's finally finished..." A sigh of relief came from inside the bandage.
"My treasures are all in the back room."
"Thank you for helping me fulfill my wish, stranger."
"Oh right, I haven't asked you your name yet."
"The Sky".
"Thank you, Azure Sky."
As the smoke dissipated, bandages fell to the ground, leaving only a handful of dust.
Mott is a necromancer, a necromancer bound by his last wish.
Completing this research was its final wish; once that wish was fulfilled, it departed.
"Soil?" Zuya asked, looking at Mote who had turned into a lump of gray dust.
"It fulfilled its wish and died."
