Barry and Kitty began to search around the huge bronze face.
Gu Qing Shan stood still, stunned.
He was being gued by so many thoughts that he couldn’t calm himself down.
For some reason, just looking at the bronze face reminded him of the giant corpse.
The giant corpse that was trapped on a bronze pir in an enclosed world, unable to escape.
Could that bronze pir have been made by the Old Gods as well?
Next time we meet, I definitely have to ask him about it.
The stranger thing was that monster.
It was eating the giant corpse’s flesh.
It even called my name and immediately wanted to kill me.
Thanks to Laura’s Sovereign armor stopping it, the Earth sword and I were able to use all of our power to kill that monster.
It said I was pitiful.
Pitiful…
Gu Qing Shan had nothing but doubts.
At the time, I was too weak, the armor’s effect could only persist for a few breaths worth of time, and the Earth sword only had enough power for one strike.
Besides killing it, I had no way to capture or disarm it and slowly ask for more information.
So now all that is left now is a huge mystery.
With how much he knew right now, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t make any guesses at all.
What a despairing situation!
Gu Qing Shan lowered his gaze and silently sighed.
Kitty then noticed Gu Qing Shan’s expression to be a bit off.
She jumped back on the bronze face’s nose and carefully observed Gu Qing Shan.
“Gu Qing Shan, what’s wrong?”
She asked.
“It’s nothing” Gu Qing Shan tried his best to smile, “I’m just thinking that the key to opening the world tomb might be in the statue’s eye”
“Ah? So that’s why you’ve been standing still over here, you were trying to think of a solution huh”
Kitty didn’t quite expect to hear that.
Barry also heard Gu Qing Shan’s words.
He couldn’t find anything at the bronze face’s mouth, so he stood up and asked: “You think it might be the eye?”
He moved towards the face’s bronze eyes.
“The left eye” Gu Qing Shan reminded him.
Barry nodded andnded on the border of the face’s left eye.
He crouched down and carefully touched the outeryer of the eye.

After a while, Barry eximed: “There really is something here!”
“What is it?” Kitty asked from afar.
“This eye is loose, it can move”
Saying so, Barry pushed down on the eye.
Both of the statue’s eyes slowly sank down, leaving two dark holes at the eye sockets.
A moment of silence.
Suddenly, two blinding lights shot from the face’s eyes.
With this pair of shining eyes, the entire statue came to life.
The bronze statue opened its mouth and sighed in a deep and distant tone.
He stared at Barry, then Kitty, then Gu Qing Shan.
「 Were you the ones who woke me? 」the bronze statue asked.
“Yep, it was us” Barry answered.
「 Very well done 」the bronze statue praised, 「 This ce was a unique world tomb set up by the Old Gods before they left 」
「 To unseal it, a certain condition must be met: to gather and fuse the scattered Samsara back into one world 」
「 The river of time has flowed for much too long, but today, someone had finally managed to merge the Human, Asura, Heaven, Huang Quan, Hungry Ghost and Animal realms together 」
「 Although we have long since left this ce, we too, feel d to know that someone was able to achieve this feat 」
Barry and Kitty exchanged surprised nces.
They were both veterans, so they naturally understood the key points that the bronze statue conveyed in its words.
“O’ honourable God, why did you hope that the Samsara world would be fused again?” Kitty asked.
「 Because this was an experiment, one that we had hoped to be able toplete, but were unable to do it in time due to something unexpected happening 」the bronze face replied.
Barry and Kitty were both confused, unable to understand what the statue was saying.
Was there something that the Old Gods were unable to do?
Gu Qing Shan, on the other hand, was shaken
He instantly realized.
——-originally, the Old Gods created the Samsara world with the intention to fuse them all into one.
But for some reason, this was found out by their enemies.
The Samsara world was broken apart!
That was why the Old Gods were unable to do it!
“Why did you not make it in time?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
The bronze face stopped briefly.
「 That question is not yours to find out 」the bronze face spoke.
Gu Qing Shan immediately asked further: “Very well, then please tell me, what would happen after the Samsara world is fused?”
The bronze face stopped again.
He sighed deeply and spoke: 「 The fusion of the Samsara represents a certain possibility, but that is also not something you need to know about 」
The bronze face refused to answer any more questions and only stated: 「 Now, this unique world tomb will awaken 」
Barry asked in a low voice: “What do you mean ‘awaken’? I remember that world tombs were sub-spaces hidden all over the void of space, can’t we just go in?”
He also noticed something wasn’t right.
「 This is a unique world tomb 」the face answered.
The three of them exchanged nces.
They couldn’t help but recall the people from God Institute.
They came to this world in order to find a unique world tomb for their God.
At this point, the bronze face continued: 「 You have fused the Samsara world——– even though it is but the tiniest fragment, this is still an unprecedented advancement of mortals, so the world tower we hid here will be awakened 」
Following his words, the world began to tremble.
“Look!” Kitty eximed.
Several dozen meters away from the bronze face, a cold metallic tower rose to the sky.
——it was a tower madepletely out of bronze!
It grew from the ground and kept growing towards the clouds, only after it had pierced through theyer of clouds above that it began to slow down.
Rumble rumble!
Despite the world’s trembling, the tower itself stood tall in the middle of the world.

It was majestic and grand, so much that any observer couldn’t help but feel a sense of worship and respect.
Kitty eximed in shock: “Isn’t that the Spire Keeper Association’s Tower of Knowledge?”
The bronze face replied: 「 No, this is not the Tower of Knowledge, but rather the final creation of the Old Gods, the Tower of Infinite Worlds 」
“The Tower of Infinite Worlds?”
「 Indeed, within the Tower of Knowledge, mortals will gain the knowledge of the universe through various means, but within this Tower of Infinite Worlds, the Laws of trillions of worlds areplete, mortals may go through andplete its tests in order to be strong 」
「 The tests each individual face, when they enter the Tower, are different, and only afterpleting a floor can they enter the next 」
「 The higher the floor you reach, the more excellent the rewards 」
“What kinds of rewards are there?” Barry asked.
「 Secret techniques for advancement, crucial items for evolution, Skills, weapons, treasures, equipment, unique Professions, so on and so forth 」
「 Mortals may climb this Tower and evolve without stopping 」
「 This is the method of self-salvation that the Old Gods left for mortals! 」
Barry and Kitty silently listened, couldn’t help themselves from ncing at the sky-high bronze Tower once again.
“Miraculous…” Kitty eximed.
Barry sighed: “The Old Gods really are merciful, creating such a thing to allow mortals to be stronger”
The bronze face spoke with a pleased tone: 「 The Old Gods love mortals, the Old Gods pity mortals, every life and creature that exists and grows stronger makes the Old Gods feel joy and happiness 」
Barry and Kitty couldn’t help but nod.
The Creator Gods left such a Tower for living beings of the infinite worlds.
Besides grieving for living beings and hope that they can better survive, there couldn’t be any other reason for doing this.
Gu Qing Shan silently listened and didn’t say a single word.
As he now knew better, his heart became frigid cold.
Why did the Old Gods do so much to make sure that living beings be stronger?
They only want living beings of the infinite worlds to be a barrier, a shield that can stall for them longer!
Such a cowardly and despicable n was masked as a righteous and selfless act.
Gu Qing Shan felt furious.
But can the living beings of the infinite worlds give up on bing stronger?
The threat was already forcefully left by the Old Gods for living beings to face and risk their lives against.
Only by bing stronger can they actually have a single hope of survival.
—–or perhaps there was no hope in the first ce.
Even without the hope to survive, living beings are forced to be stronger and stop their enemies for the Old Gods.
What a tragic truth this was.
Could it be, there is no path for mortals to take where they can survive?
Do us mortals have no choice, but to be a defensive tool for the Old Gods to take advantage of?
Gu Qing Shan gritted his teeth.
A feeling of extreme unwillingness welled up in his chest, forcing him to do everything to hold himself back, as well as the despair and fury in his heart.
No!
My destiny, the destiny of all living beings in the infinite worlds should not be only that!!!
There definitely… must be a way…
Gu Qing Shan forced himself to regain rity, focused his mind and began to seriously consider this question.
He then recalled what he saw before.
The final words that the shadow of Old left before it disappeared.
「 The Old Gods created a lot of things much stronger than themselves, because of that, before the infinite worlds are all destroyed, no one can really say whether or not something unexpected would happen 」
Those words were still echoing in his ears, fresh in his memory.
Gu Qing Shan carefully repeated these words over and over in his mind.
At some point, a sudden unprecedented thought appeared in his mind.
That’s right, just like how the Old Gods had hoped, the living beings or the infinite worlds will keep bing stronger.
But the reason for that isn’t to better be the Old God’s tools.
But rather——-
The Old Gods created mortals, but who’s to say that mortals can’t surpass the Old Gods?
Only by bing stronger than the Old Gods can living beings find a real path among the despair, a path towards true hope!
Only by surpassing the Old Gods can we deal with all obstacles and hardship!
This is the true path that living beings should tread!!!
Gu Qing Shan clenched his fist tightly.
At this time, he felt more courageous than ever before.
