Chapter 2228 - 2221: Damn Sense of Superiority

"Nephew, this is for you." The plump woman fumbled around for a while and took out a scroll. "This scroll can be used anywhere on the continent for transportation, with no limitations on usage. It only requires something called a Space Stone to be used repeatedly. Of course, it can only be used in the currently mapped regions, not in forbidden or undiscovered areas."

"This is great!" Zhang Menglong accepted it. With this, it would be much easier to travel all over the continent in the future. "Thank you, aunt."

"We are family, no need to be polite. I am your elder, after all, and meeting you for the first time, I can’t come empty-handed. Consider this a meeting gift."

Seeing Zhang Menglong’s delighted expression, the plump woman knew she had chosen the right gift. It wasn’t something particularly valuable; every member of the Zhang Family basically had one of these scrolls. Getting another one wasn’t a difficult task for her, but it was worth it for Zhang Menglong’s goodwill.

"Alright, you probably have matters to attend to, so I won’t disturb you," said the plump woman. "Come by sometime to play at your aunt’s place, and I’ll introduce you to your cousins."

"Alright, for sure!"

...

"The God and Demon Magic Tower," Zhang Menglong repeated the name. "Gou Dan, search some information about this God and Demon Magic Tower for me."

Zhang Menglong felt that his aunt wasn’t very familiar with the God and Demon Magic Tower, and the information she just revealed was quite vague. But since it’s a tower, it shouldn’t be a particularly secret location; finding some data shouldn’t be too difficult.

Indeed, Gou Dan quickly found a lot of material for Zhang Menglong.

The God and Demon Magic Tower is located in the God Burial Valley, which belongs to a nation called the Divine Descendant Holy Kingdom.

In this continent, a country labeled as a Holy Kingdom surely has the presence of Realm Breakers, and the number might be considerable.

As the name implies, the Divine Descendant Holy Kingdom claims to be descendants of Deities because they discovered traces of the oldest life on this land. This point is also verified and acknowledged by many scholars, who regard their country as the origin of the continent’s civilization, and other nations can hardly find reasons to refute this.

On this continent, the universally acknowledged origin of life is the belief in divine creation. They think the structure of life is so intricate that it couldn’t possibly be born and evolved naturally. It must have been created by some powerful life form. Thus, the Divine Descendant Holy Kingdom people regard themselves as descendants of the gods hence the name.

One thing is true: the existence of the Divine Descendant Holy Kingdom has been around for an exceedingly long time, and there are scarcely any families or nations on the continent that can compare to them, giving them immense superiority.

The God Burial Valley is a valley on the edge of the Divine Descendant Holy Kingdom. It resembles a person lying across the continental shelf, with the head, torso, and limbs clearly delineated. Many myths passed down in the Divine Descendant Holy Kingdom say a deity once perished here, and the deity’s corpse merged with the earth and heaven here.

The God and Demon Magic Tower is an even older structure than the Divine Descendant Holy Kingdom. It’s a colossal black tower reaching over 17,000 meters in height. Its material is very special; not even the most powerful all-out strike of a Realm Breaker from the Divine Descendant Holy Kingdom can leave a mark on it.

It is widely known that within the God and Demon Magic Tower, there is a wisp of a Remnant Soul of an Ancient God!

Anyone entering the God and Demon Magic Tower must undergo the test from this Remnant Soul, and once the test is passed, the Remnant Soul will plant a Power Seed in that person.

After acquiring this power, a number between 1 and 9 randomly appears on the back of each person’s neck. When slaying Humans, Warcrafts, Spiritual Beast, and other various creatures, the Soul Power increases, existing within this Power Seed.

After a while, the God and Demon Magic Tower will summon all who hold this Power Seed for a mass combat elimination. Those with the same number are placed into a battlefield, and the last person standing can take all the powers of the others.

Once each single digit remains, these nine individuals are thrown back into the God and Demon Magic Tower, leaving only one person behind, allowing them to obtain all the power and the inheritance of the God and Demon Magic Tower.

"Sounds like, even if it is a god, it must be an Evil God!" After reading this information, Zhang Menglong made a judgment. "How could a benevolent god encourage people to kill each other?"

[Looking at it this way, this God and Demon Magic Tower might really be related to the Soul of Ancient Humans. According to the Ancient God, those Ancient Humans have many evil elements, so doing such things shouldn’t be surprising. We can also boldly speculate that this might be a way to recover its strength.]

"Hmm, it seems many Soul Shards of Ancient Humans have started to stir," Zhang Menglong exclaimed. The task given by the Ancient God isn’t simple.

Zhang Menglong took out the scroll and several Space-Time Stones given by his aunt, quickly locating the Divine Descendant Holy Kingdom.

"Off you go!" Zhang Menglong activated the power of the scroll using the method taught by the plump woman. With a powerful spatial tear, Zhang Menglong was pulled into the scroll. Moments later, a different power threw him out directly, almost knocking him down.

"Ugh!" Zhang Menglong dry-heaved twice. Gou Dan did a quick check, revealing the scroll had transported Zhang Menglong directly to the capital, the Ancient City of the Divine Descendant Holy Kingdom.

Though called an Ancient City, this city doesn’t look old at all. It is filled with skyscrapers and bustling with people, resembling a modern metropolis.

He found himself in a place where a blue orb hung in the sky, shining like the sun. Beams of light continually fell from this orb, and people walked out from these beams.

"So this is a Teleportation Array," Zhang Menglong murmured to himself. Although this device allows movement across various places on the continent, it likely only works in areas with established Teleportation Arrays. Even so, it’s quite a convenient thing.

Zhang Menglong took a turn, noticing that the people around him were dressed very lavishly, to the point where Zhang Menglong felt like he had arrived at a fashion show, unable to understand their styles. Their looks towards the outsiders were filled with disdain and a strong sense of superiority.

"Do these people really consider themselves descendants of Deities?" Zhang Menglong quipped, wearing an expression like a subway veteran’s meme.

Zhang Menglong did not plan to linger here, as his destination was the God and Demon Magic Tower.

[Dean, I have some troublesome news for you.]

"Hmm?"

[To go to the God and Demon Magic Tower, one must first obtain a noble title in the Divine Descendant Holy Kingdom.]

"Huh? Why?"

[The people of the Divine Descendant Holy Kingdom believe ordinary people are unqualified to share in the God and Demon Magic Tower’s inheritance of power... sigh, it’s likely due to their damned sense of superiority.]
