How long have you been here?

The outside world is not clear, but in this tower of the thirty-six worlds, Li Ben and Beyotis silently count the days.

"This is the end of the fifth month. Li Ben said with emotion.

They were now on the thirty-fourth floor of the Tower, and the two of them were exploring in an unknown ruin.

"Hmm—" Beyotis replied faintly, and then she noticed something, and said, "We've seen this sign." ”

Li Ben looked closer, and among the remains of human civilization in the past, he saw three vertical eyes, which were arranged in a triangular pattern on the wall of a certain house.

"What does it mean that the sign in the underground church, which has not been seen in the previous level, appears here again?"

"Our guess at the time was that it was a sign of some evil god. ”

"In the past thirty-three layers, the seven passions, the six desires, the wisdom, the force, the knowledge, the will, the patience, and the soul of the human beings have all been tested over and over again, and I think now it is the turn of faith. ”

"Faith?" Beyotis thought for a moment, as she looked at the cold, crumbling skyscrapers and crumbling building materials around her, remembering some words from the historical record.

"Before the Great Destruction, mankind had no faith. But for us in this era, faith is a necessity to gain strength and the right to live. In other words, in fact, human beings nowadays, due to their deep despair, have long abandoned their glory and dignity, and their belief in gods has always been just a formality, and the main purpose is only to survive through faith trading. ”

"Which god do you believe in?" asked Lee.

"When I became a Chaos Hunter, I prayed to the god of fire and light. Does this have anything to do with the gateway to the next floor?"

"I think it's probably a delay event. Just like we didn't save that old man on the sixteenth floor, we ended up being attacked by his ghost on the nineteenth floor. If we pray to the evil god of the Three Eyes, we may be able to get a quick way to the next level. ”

"After this level, only the last two floors remain. The evil gods, like the legendary great demons, must collect debts when they have them. ”

This means that if they pray now, they will pay for it in the next two layers.

"The test in this tower, each layer is only different in form and way of passing, thinking about it, its overall difficulty has not increased, and there are no monsters that surpass the sixth level suddenly, so from this point of view, it is not impossible to trade with the evil gods to a limited extent, they do not have to feed on human souls. ”

"Are you sure?" Beyotis looked at Li Ben solemnly, she felt that this was not what a normal person should say.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not crazy yet. ”

"You know a lot more about evil gods and ancient gods than I do, and that's not a good thing. ”

"Maybe... But now, while Jason hasn't come up yet, we should look carefully for another way out. ”

Leaving the ruins, the two continued to wander and explore in this small world.

In the gray sky, a disc-shaped red light source as large as a car lid could be faintly seen, dyeing the earth with a deep red glow.

"So far, I haven't sensed any monsters... What we need to contend with is not necessarily something that is active. Beyotis said.

This is not the first time they have encountered this kind of world, there are no living creatures, only the unchanging dead silence.

And the road to the next level is not necessarily in the sky, but it may also be under their feet.

"It seems that this information board is still usable. Li Ben was busy for a while, tossing and lighting up the products of the super civilization era.

The memory experience gained in the God of Destiny Trial finally came in handy.

Beriotis was amazed by Leeben's miraculous manipulation, and people who were not specially trained would not have been able to understand the workings of civilization at that time. Along the way, Li Ben has never shown any talent in this regard.

But after all, this is only the experience of a child of that era, not the wisdom of an adult who has been instilled with a complete body of knowledge. Therefore, Li Ben can only do this when the items are generally in good condition, and if he really wants to repair some things, it will not be possible.

The illuminated information board records the news of that era.

"What does it say? It's not the lingua franca of our planet. Beyotis saw that Li Ben was looking intently at those unfamiliar words, so he asked.

"The star of the star system in which the planet is located, ten years away from destruction, is a warning to inform all the inhabitants of the planet to evacuate. ”

Leeben traced the news information forward, and the results showed that the destruction of the star occurred suddenly, rather than the end of the measured natural lifespan, and that in the event of natural aging and death, the planet's humans should have left at least hundreds of years in advance to prevent the unstable star from abruptly changing.

He told Beyotis about this conclusion, but kept it a little bit away.

He already knew that the world he was in now was the planet where his little boy Angelos lived in the trial of fate, otherwise he might not be able to read those words.

Is this also a coincidence? Or is it a hint in the dark?

Li Ben remembered the mechanical maid that Eiji Kamiwa had excavated around the altar in the original underground world.

"It's because the Great Destruction has come, that's why the star suddenly enters the countdown to destruction. Beyotis speculated.

"That's true. Li Ben said very firmly, he thought, if such a planet really exists, then will the people and scenes he saw in the trial of fate also really exist? Could it be somewhere in this world?

He wanted to find out.

Since Li Ben did not implant the chip of that era in his body, he could only manually operate on the interactive panel to find the map of the area that used to be.

According to the map information, Li Ben searched for a street house layout similar to that in his memory.

"There really is...", he sighed under his breath after finding similar blocks on the map.

This coincidence made Li Ben feel that something was wrong.

Could it be that this scene was also constructed using other people's memory worlds, and if so, why not use Beyodis's memories as a model?

He shook his head, dispelling the suspicion, for it would be fruitless to continue this speculation. I had to go to that place and do some on-the-spot verification.

Using the map to confirm where he was and where Angelos's house was, Lee said, "I have a place I want to see." ”

"Yes, after all, I haven't found any valid clues so far. Beyotis didn't ask why, it was a tacit understanding between the two over the years.

The streets of the city are clogged with all sorts of metal waste, and the two walk on the undulating piles of materials while keeping an eye out for the uncollapsed tall buildings on either side to prevent anything from falling on them.

It took about two hours for the two to reach the place indicated on the map, and the result was unrecognizable.

Lee Ben tried to find something iconic, but the streets were lined with piles of ruins. On a slightly better note, this is a villa area, and the ruined remains of the houses are nowhere near as large as those of high-rise cities.

According to the order of the houses in his memory, Li Ben took the entrance of the villa area as a starting point, counted inward, and the forty-fifth house on the right hand should be the residence of the little boy Angelos.

If he could find any familiar objects in his memory in that ruin as evidence, then he could be sure that the trials given to him by the god of fate were indeed shaped on the basis of facts that had happened in the past world.

"Help me find out if there's a basement underneath the ruins. Li Ben said.

"Good. "Beyotis did not refuse.

The physical fitness of the two has long surpassed that of ordinary creatures.

Although it looks like a normal human in appearance, in fact, strength, speed, reflexes, tenacity, etc., are exaggeratedly improved. Using strength and speed as an example, Li estimated that he was sprinting at his current level, and the final appearance of the impacted object was similar to a mid-size truck crashing on a highway.

And a high-level hunter of the level of Beyotis is seriously affected by the power of chaos, even if she is not in the transformed state, her quality can be compared to those ordinary chaos hunters in the transformed form, not to mention the blessing of those props on her body that have gone through many fierce battles and have not been damaged at all.

Li Ben sometimes thought that if his instructor was also a high-level hunter, he would not be easily killed by Zhou Haomiao.

The excavation was not slow, and it didn't take long for the two to find the basement door.

Streaming down...

Some of the debris of the ruins slid down from the side, indicating that the space below had not been blocked.

Throw aside all the high-end building materials that have been piled up, and the entrance to the basement will be in front of you.

Lee Ben entered first, followed by Beyotis and cast a simple illumination spell to dispel the darkness.

And so it was. ”

As far as Li could see, in this space where a large amount of dust had accumulated, those strange monster statues and runes were still intact.

Now, Li Ben, who has read the wizard's notes, can be sure that this is exactly the style of the ancient gods.

But these are all the contents of a game called "Ancient End" of that era, that is, before the official arrival of the Great Destruction, someone was influenced by the chaotic power of the Old Gods to create this game?

At that time, I wish I had time to enter this game and take a look. Li Ben thought with regret.

Running his fingertips across the thick dust, Beyotis observed curiously what was going on here.

How did he know there was such a place? The monster sculptures and the dim runes contained some kind of chilling message, but the power that should have been revealed from them was somehow not revealed.

Maybe it's because it's just the world inside the tower? If you put these things out there... Beyotis immediately put away his dangerous thoughts.

"Huh?" said in surprise, attracting Beyotis' attention.

He picks up a book from the corner of the basement, something that is not in the scene he remembers.

The material of the book is very special, giving people an ancient feeling, but it is not damaged at all, it should be a special creation of that era.

Li Ben wiped the dust off the surface, revealing a black cover with strange gold characters written in a circle, and the circle was intricately ornamented. Underneath this circle, there is a small line of golden text, written in the language of the planet.

"The End of the Ancients" information encyclopedia.

This is the thing I haven't found in the world of trials.

Li Ben couldn't wait to open it, and on the table of contents page, he saw the picture that served as the background, and it turned out to be exactly the same as the city of the dead in the Valley of the Wind.
