In a glorious era, there was a legend that there were sixty towers in the world that challenged the limits of human endurance. If one could reach the thirty-sixth floor of a tower with the body of a demigod, it would be equivalent to obtaining a ticket to the gate of true godhood.
That legend is not exaggerated at all.
And indeed, many of those who eventually reached the top of these towers became true gods in later generations.
However, the legend became reality.
However, the locations of these towers have somehow been lost in the illusionary realm.
Finding these towers again would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The towers are not only located in the Upper Realm, but are distributed in countless worlds within the Illusionary Realm. The Upper Realm is merely the main arena for the activities of players of the superior races.
In reality, compared to the vast and boundless fantasy world, the area where players are currently active is not even comparable to a speck of dust in the universe.
However, the [Ancient Battlefield Guild Qualification Trial] has become a special means of entering these towers.
Those guilds, and the players within them who heard about the secret treasure, were completely unaware that the treasure they were seeking was actually right in front of them.
It's just that it's so close yet so far away.
-------------------------------------
【The Balanced Tower – Thirty-Six Floors】
Lu Cang stepped into the thirty-sixth floor of the tower, walking in in an ordinary and unremarkable manner.
puff!
The moment he stepped into the tower, a sharp blade pierced his back.
Lu Cang looked down at the blade that had pierced through him.
This is a light energy blade, or simply a lightsaber.
Even though his body was pierced, Lu Cang didn't care at all. He simply held the blade and looked back at the person behind him.
"They didn't even say hello?"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—
As soon as he finished speaking, countless tiny laser beams pierced through Lu Cang, leaving him riddled with holes.
Then, these lasers cut horizontally and vertically, directly dividing Lu Cang into tiny pieces.
Lu Cang, dismembered, fell to the ground, and the phantom dissipated.
After the phantom dissipated, a new Lu Cang appeared in almost the exact same spot.
“Mani, it’s been a while.”
"Although... you are just a projection."
"However, I think you should be able to hear me."
As Lu Cang said, the projection of the true gods is also the best medium to communicate with them.
Whenever the projection of the true gods is used, the true gods themselves can sense it.
"I'm about to beat the game, now I'm going to beat you up."

【Mani of Machinery】
[Level: 150]
[Divine Position: Mechanical]
[Divine Power Rank: Demigod]
[Special Feature - World Observation: Capable of observing existing universes and recording their civilization evolution.]
[Description: Those who have cleared the Tower of Balance are recorded by the Tower of Balance]
-------------------------------------
Mani is a mechanical profession, a profession that humans initially started with as gunners, and can later switch to any type of mechanical profession.
All mechanical professions are under the jurisdiction of Mani.
At the same time, it is also the racial god of almost all intelligent machine species.
It is both a professional god and a racial god.
A clergy with a dual nature.
Buzz—
Mani's figure was now fully revealed.
A humanoid form with countless tubes of all shapes and sizes extending from its body, made in various ways.
The other end of these pipes connects to spatial rifts leading to unknown locations.
"The Sky".
"Threat level..."
[Serious Mode]
【Ultimate Asura】
Lu Cang instantly activated his strongest form of fearless bravery, unleashing a barrage of crimson slashes!
Mani's pupils focused, and a pipe lit up!
Buzz!
A ring of pure energy light then protected Mani.
【Iris Technology - Perfect Energy Shield】
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!
Tens of thousands of swords unleashed their Heavenly Blood Slashes, yet they failed to create even the slightest ripple on the energy shield.
The civilization of Iris, possessing the most advanced shield technology and capable of constructing energy shield defenses on a single-universe scale, has taken energy shield research to its extreme.
Mani learned their techniques and improved his own energy shield.
However, Lu Cang was used to this and had fully anticipated Mani's defense.
I never even considered breaking Mani's defense in one blow.
All that could be seen was a massive, overwhelming slash of blood, but within Mani's shield, a figure burst forth from the void!
[Death in Silence]
Lu Cang used the Assassination Godhood to completely eliminate all traces of his own existence.
puff!
The black, dark longsword pierced through Mani's body, and the outer shield did not provide any protection.
The moment Lu Cang appeared, Mani's core had already been destroyed by him.
However, after this attack was completed...
Lu Cang did not disengage from the battle.
All that could be seen was the red light emanating from Mani's core!
This beam of light instantly covered the entire space of the thirty-sixth floor!
boom!
Lu Cang instantly transformed into Zu Ya's power.
Immediately activate the life lock to firmly lock your status.
The explosion destroyed everything.
This includes not only the present world, but also dozens of different subspaces beyond nothingness...
After everything was destroyed, from the site of the explosion, a strange entity emerged, composed of countless gears, lights, rays, ethereal matter, information flows, waves, strings, elements, and more.
Its form is constantly changing.
It is difficult to form a correct understanding of it simply by looking at it with the naked eye.
It's like seeing something in a dream, a dream that's constantly changing.
"Very good, let's begin the second phase."
One hit to destroy the first phase, then unleash the second phase.
Lu Cang dragged his giant sword and stepped into the void, slowly approaching the second stage of [Mani].
Sizzle—
【Pyrolysis and Explosion】
It was as if the formation of the sun had been recreated. The strings in Mani's hands simply touched lightly, without any other spellcasting process, as if he had just rubbed his hands together.
The next moment, a nuclear explosion comparable to the sun erupted!
Bathed in flames, Lu Cang completely ignored the nuclear thermal explosion that surpassed the combined power of all nuclear weapons on Earth.
With the help of Zuya's abilities, he became completely immune to fire damage, and also immune to light damage.
Beside the core of Mani, another figure of Lu Cang appeared, wielding the Yuan An short sword.
Whoosh!
But the next moment, Lu Cang's figure, which had just appeared, was directly cut into countless pieces.
There are also unseen substances surrounding Mani.
Lu Cang switched to Xiu Mi's ability, allowing him to see through things that were otherwise invisible.
What severed his own illusion seemed to be a thread, or perhaps a wave constantly disrupting space. Mani possessed too much technology, and his form combined the essence of countless worlds.
Even Lu Cang couldn't possibly recognize all of these things.
But once you see it, you can probably think of a way to solve it.
As for the phantom that had been cut into pieces, Lu Cang paid it no heed...
For the Infinite Illusion talent, there are as many illusions as they can be.
Lu Cang's various phantoms raised their hands, and immediately afterward, hundreds of mountains that seemed to topple the heavens and earth crashed down on Mani!
Mani's "tentacle" (pipe) (string) slightly lifted, and a wave spread out.
【Gollen Civilization - Destruction Wave】
The civilization that brought wave theory to its ultimate level, achieving the pinnacle of wave theory, was able to influence the operation of all matter in the world through waves.
Among them is the most basic application—destruction.
Bang bang bang bang——
Hundreds of mountains, which seemed to have collapsed from the heavens and earth, shattered one by one under the spread of this ripple, yet not a single giant mountain managed to fall upon Mani.
However, Lu Cang was not limited to just one move.
boom!
After the mountain shattered and the heavens and earth collapsed, hundreds more [Ten Thousand Thunderbolts - Holy Annihilation and Purification] rained down!
At the same time, an assassin named Lu Cang, who was under the protection of the guard Lu Cang, appeared from the void and flashed in front of its core.
