Prologue: Gathering Intelligence
T City, which is on the edge of the Nativity Tower, was originally a metropolis with a large population, and the Descent Tower appeared on the outskirts of T City two years ago, the environment around the Descent Tower is extremely suitable for the cultivation of evolutionaries, and it also brings rich and rare resources, making this city instantly the focus of this country and even the world. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The population in the city continues to soar, and in just two years, the number of legal residents in T City alone has increased by more than 10 times, and the number of black households is even more numerous. In order to meet the needs of a large population, the area of T City has also been continuously expanded.
More than 30% of the people in T City are evolutionaries, which is definitely the highest percentage of evolutionaries in the world. If you walk down the street, don't do anything if you don't like someone, otherwise you may experience all kinds of unexpected abilities in the next second.
It is precisely because of the emergence of evolutionaries and the increasing number that the pattern of society has gradually changed. Due to the increase in individual strength, it is possible for an evolutionary to overcome a nation. For example, the evolutionary named Arthur can single-handedly destroy any traditional army in the world.
When many evolutionaries became stronger, they did not want to be regulated by the government, and in order to increase their power, they established organizations called "guilds". The government is also mainly trying to win over, after all, if it really wants to fight, neither side can take advantage.
However, in addition to the top ten "unions", the "unions" after them usually only have one or two evolutionaries with superior strength, and the rest of the members are some low-level evolutionaries or even ordinary people, although they are also considered a force, but they are far inferior to the various "academies" and "legions".
The predecessor of the "Academy" was some well-known universities in the world, and they all relied on their profound scientific research strength to carry out a series of research immediately after the appearance of the Nativity Tower, and also achieved fruitful results. Many evolutionaries are willing to enter these academies, on the one hand, there are many powerful evolutionaries as mentors, and on the other hand, they can also get some research results that are not open to the public.
As for the "legion", it is a force subordinate to the government. Since the traditional army could not fight the powerful Evolver with numerical superiority, the military's top brass established this kind of small combat unit with the Evolver as the core of the team. The number of a legion usually does not exceed 500 men, and no more than 20 of them are Evolutionaries as the main combat force, and the rest are logistical forces.
Of the three forces, the Academy is relatively neutral, with the development of science and technology as its main goal, and the Legion will only attack the Legion under the leadership of other governments. On the contrary, it is not uncommon for various unions to attack each other, and the thing they fight for may be an evolutionary, a rare item, or even a union ranking.
Although these three forces are different in nature, they are all desperately engaged in an arms race to win over more evolutionaries. Some people want to wait for the day when they have enough strength to seize control of the Nativity Tower, but more of them just want to survive this war that may break out at any time.
These are all basic common sense in the current society, but Ye Heng knows nothing at all. So he's sitting in a bar right now, looking around gathering information.
This is a bar called "Evolver's House", which is said to be the largest bar in T City, and the owner is a strong evolver, and the people are also very nice, so you can drink for free when you are in a good mood. That's why the bar is full every day, and both evolutionaries and ordinary people like to come here. However, after Ye Heng came today, he found that although there were many people sitting in the huge bar, it was definitely not full.
"Boss Tu, today is the last time I've drunk here, these are all the wine money I owe you before, you count a lot!"
"Lao Zhao, should you really leave?"
"It's not like you didn't know about that incident last week, even a level 7 evolutionary was killed in one hit, is a level 3 evolutionary like me still waiting to die?"
"Hey, it's the demon king who made my business worse. ā
Hearing the words "Demon King" in the mouths of the two people around him, Ye Heng's eyes lit up, and he leaned over to listen.
"Yes, Boss Tu, some people who are stronger than me have left, and I have decided to leave, otherwise I will only die by waiting for a month. ā
"Don't be so pessimistic! Actually, that demon king is not as terrible as you think, the person who fought with the demon king that day was only the president of a small guild, and his strength was not strong. After a month, the strongest people in the world, including Arthur, will fight against that demon king together. Once we have defeated the Demon King, we can reclaim the Tower. At that time, Area A will also be opened, and that will be a good time for us to improve our strength!"
Boss, you're too optimistic, aren't you? What else is "recapture the Great Tower"? The Birth Tower is obviously mine, okay? Why don't you use words like "capture" and "invasion"?
Ye Heng listened to their conversation, and his heart was depressed.
Here's how it happened. A week ago, Ye Heng asked Uncle Liu to inform people all over the world as a demon king. The content is probably to say, the giant tower is my home, and you steal things in my garden (Area A) and beat my pets (guards), which makes me very unhappy, and if I am not happy, I will destroy all mankind. But I just want to retire in peace in the giant tower (Uncle Liu really said so!), so I will give you a chance, that is, to leave my house 100 kilometers away within a month, and never be allowed to approach, so that everyone can live together peacefully, otherwise wait for the destruction of the world!
Liu Bodang said these words from the city government of T City, and some people in the crowd present were immediately unhappy. Thinking that this demon king was just a person who wanted to swallow the giant tower alone, he went up and wanted to give him some color. As a result, before Uncle Liu could make a move, he was killed by the 10th-order guard "Void" beside Uncle Liu. The Void is the only one of all the guards that has no entity, and the main body is a shadow. At that time, he was at the feet of Uncle Liu, and when he saw that person wanted to attack the Demon King, he immediately created a "sea of Dirac" under him, swallowing that person instantly, and then the attackers also ended up in the same way.
Ye Heng was to prevent a situation that Uncle Liu couldn't handle, so he let a Rank 10 guard who was much stronger than Uncle Liu himself appear. The Void has the combat power of the planetary level intermediate, don't look at the difference between the primary and intermediate levels, the gap between the two can be said to be bigger than the sky. Like the evolution level in people's mouths, level 1 and level 2 evolutionaries may be evenly matched, but level 8 evolution will never be able to defeat level 9 evolutionaries.
The same is true for the hierarchy of the Nativity Tower, where the gap grows larger the later you go. The difference between the small planetary level is equivalent to the impact power of meteorites of different sizes. But what about the stellar level? That's the difference between the Sun and VY Canis Major! And then up the galaxy level, that's the gap between the solar system and the Milky Way. If there is a possibility that a meteorite hitting the Earth will cause some disaster, but a star crashing into the Milky Way...... Sorry, you've become a part of me before you even bumped into me.
The reason why he had to be so cautious was because Ye Heng didn't know much about the current situation in this world, although it was only more than 2 years since the Birth Tower appeared, it could not be ruled out that there would be a very small number of evolutionaries who had already gained very strong strength. For example, the evolutionary named Arthur seems to have already had a level 9 evolution level half a year ago, which is equivalent to just reaching the level of the planetary primary.
Since it is uncertain what level he has improved in this half year, although the slower the strength is in the later stages. But even if the opponent is still level 9, Liu Bo may be defeated due to his lack of combat experience, or being surrounded by multiple high-level evolutionaries at the same time, and there may even be an evolutionary with the ability of "magic restraint", resulting in the inability to complete the task unexpectedly.
But the result seems to surprise Ye Hengda, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is disappointed!
Although there were many people who attacked Uncle Liu at that time, the highest one of them was level 7, and he was also an evolutionary who used magic power. To confront a Tier 10 guard can only be described as sympathetic. A meteor tries to hit the Earth, only to turn into dust in the atmosphere.
The moment those people approached Uncle Liu, they were swept into the black shadow under their feet, as if they had disappeared out of thin air. Uncle Liu's magic release is characterized by speed, but as soon as he raised his hand, the enemy had already disappeared. In the end, he had no choice but to give up the attempt, and stopped there stupidly, his expression very depressed.
It seems that because there are no famous evolutionaries in that group, the media does not describe the demon king as too powerful. If it weren't for the fact that he flew directly back to the Nativity Tower in the end, people would probably only regard him as a relatively strong evolutionary.
Although some of the more powerful forces said that the demon king was not to be feared, and they were ready to fight him to the death in a month's time. But there are also many who have decided not to wade into this troubled water, and there are even some peace lovers who have called for no war.
"Actually, I'm not most worried about the demon king, but the unions and the military. The man named Lao Zhao took a sip of the beer on the table and said with a dejected expression, "The major guilds and the military of various countries have long planned to monopolize the giant tower, and everyone understands this. It's just that they are all afraid of each other's power and dare not make a move. When the time comes, the Demon King will be won, and the various forces will definitely go to war for him. ā
"That's true, but you can stay neutral then, even though I'm the Thunder Guild who supports me. Speaking of this, the earth boss straightened his chest in a very angry manner, showing off a thunderbolt badge on his chest.
"Boss Tu, don't dislike to hear what I say, your Thunder Guild is indeed strong, but those people in the God of War Guild are all perverts!" Lao Zhao suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "According to the grapevine, there is actually one person in the God of War Guild who has entered the giant tower!"
"Ahem...... Cough...... Ya, bring me a piece of paper. ā
Both of them were attracted by the movement next to them, and they saw a scrawny man at the table next to them, who suddenly coughed violently for some reason.
"I'm sorry, you two, I choked on the water. Although Ye Heng looked sorry on the surface, he almost didn't scold in his heart.
"Big brother, you're too big to brag, but I know better than you that the closest person to the Nativity Tower has only been 13 kilometers away...... And it's dead. Ye Heng really wanted to say these words and slapped him in the face hard, but for the sake of intelligence, he still restrained himself.
"You're blowing up your bullhide! That must be fake! The God of War Guild is only because there are many people that you outsiders feel very powerful, but in fact, in terms of personal strength, it can't compare to our Thunder Guild. ā
Hearing that Boss Tu said what he wanted to say, Ye Heng felt more comfortable.
"Let me tell you Lao Zhao, there are actually only two people in this world who have actually entered the giant tower! one is our president! The other is our vice president!" said the soil boss in a proud tone.
"Poof! cough...... Cough...... Cough...... Ling'er ...... Paper to me. This time, Ye Heng directly sprayed the water on their bodies.
Ye Heng felt that the boss was quite solid one second, but the next second he was immediately slapped in the face mercilessly. It turns out that the soil boss is the real master, this bull is boasted without flaws at all, if it is someone else, I am afraid I will really believe it.
"This brother, what the hell are you doing! Give me an explanation!" Lao Zhao, who was sprayed all over, seemed very unhappy, and stood up from the chair, and his nearly two-meter size still looked a little shocking.
Seeing the other party stand up, Ya Ye beside him immediately stood up, and an invisible energy shield also covered Ye Heng and Ye Ling's bodies at the same time.
"Stupid mortal, my esteemed master should be honored to spray you with water!"
"You're making trouble!" the other party didn't seem to mean to stir up trouble.
"Ignorant mortal, apologize to my great master immediately, or you will pay with your life for it!" As soon as she finished speaking, Ya immediately projected a long sword, the sharp edge of which was just against the opponent's throat.
"There is a ......"
Halfway through Lao Zhao's words, he was immediately stopped by the soil boss beside him, only to see the soil boss looking at him nervously, and shook his head gently.
"Ya, don't mess around, it's my fault first. At this critical juncture, Ye Heng hurriedly spoke.
"But the humble ......"
"Alright, we're not here to cause trouble. The expression on Ye Heng's face became a little serious, and Ya Ye had no choice but to put away the sword in his hand with interest.
"I'm sorry, both, my bodyguards are getting a little excited. You see, I've drunk all this water, and it's almost time to leave, so I'll put the money here. ā
Ye Heng didn't want to cause trouble, anyway, he had collected a lot of information in one night, so he asked Ye Ling to push him towards the door of the bar, but thinking about the words of those people, Ye Heng felt very unhappy to leave like this. So he asked Ye Ling to push him in front of the two of them.
"Don't be afraid, I just came back to tell you that there are only three people who are really qualified to enter the giant tower, and I am one of them. ā
After Ye Heng left, Lao Zhao scolded in a tone full of disdain and anger, "I'm sorry, I can really blow!"
