Under the black signboard stood a man in a green robe. He stood there with his back to Zhu Xiaoyu, as if he was supposed to exist. However, Zhu Xiaoyu was very sure that there was no one here when he first came in.
When did this person appear and how did he appear here? Zhu Xiaoyu could not see through all of this. He was even more shocked in his heart. Just what kind of strength did this person have to be able to do this?
"Lucky human, welcome to the Tower of Life. I am the guardian of this place.”The green-robed man slowly turned around.
Only then did Zhu Xiaoyu see clearly that the green-robed man was a young man who looked to be in his thirties. If not for the vicissitudes of life in his eyes, he might have looked even younger.
"Hello," Zhu Xiaoyu bowed politely to the man.
The green-robed man smiled," Very polite child. You are the fifth person to enter the Tower of Life in tens of thousands of years, and also the youngest. However, you have a God rank martial soul. It seems that you have a high chance of reaching the end."”
Zhu Xiaoyu looked at the green-robed man in confusion. Tens of thousands of years? Could it be that he had already lived in the Tower of Life for tens of thousands of years? Was he still human? Could it be a god?
The green-robed man smiled." I know you must have a lot of questions in your heart. You can ask me one by one. I will tell you everything I know.”
Zhu Xiaoyu nodded." Senior, how should I address you?"”
The green-robed man narrowed his eyes." I don't know how many years have passed. I've already forgotten my name. I remember that my friends used to call me Dian Yuan. You can call me that too.”
"Alright. Senior Dian Yuan, can I know something about the Tower of Life?”
" The Tower of Life, the Tower of Life…" Dian Yuan let out a long sigh before he slowly said," The Tower of Life was originally just an extremely ordinary soul tool on the Douluo Continent. Later on, the owner of the Tower of Life became the Heavenly God of Life, so the Tower of Life became a divine tool. However, the Tower of Life that lost its divinity for tens of thousands of years is only a relatively high-grade soul tool now. We're currently inside the Tower of Life."”
"The Heavenly God of Life?" Zhu Xiaoyu was stunned. It was actually related to the gods.
"That's right. The Heavenly God of Life has comprehended the true essence of life and is capable of transcending life and death. " The reason why the Tower of Life is here is because the Heavenly God of Life is searching for the next Heavenly God of Life. My mission is to help the candidate complete the Heavenly God of Life's nine trials and become a Heavenly God of Life.”Dian Yuan said with a smile.
Zhu Xiaoyu was extremely shocked." Could it be that I'm a candidate for the God of Life?”
"That's right. You're a rare genius on the Douluo Continent. You're at rank-20 innate full soul power and have a divine martial soul. You have talent, perseverance, and luck.”
Speaking up to here, Zhu Xiaoyu basically understood. The identity of this Dian Yuan was the same as the High Priest Bo Saixi of Seagod Island. And this Life Pagoda was equivalent to Seagod Island, a land of inheritance for a god.
"Senior, what will happen if I don't accept the nine life tests or fail them?”Zhu Xiaoyu continued to ask.
Dian Yuan still had the same smile on his face." The candidates of the God of Life can only choose between success or death.”
Zhu Xiaoyu looked bitter." In other words, I have no choice.”
Dian Yuan nodded." Yes, you have no choice.”
Zhu Xiaoyu gritted his teeth." Alright, I understand. When will the assessment begin?"”
Dian Yuan said," From now on, you only need to complete the test within twenty years. The location of the test will be inside the Life Tower. The Life Tower is a spatial soul device. You can enter or leave at any time. You can also bring people in, but you can't bring more than ten people at a time."”
Zhu Xiaoyu felt a little relieved. Fortunately, there was enough time to complete the test. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Senior, can you get out of the Tower of Life?”Zhu Xiaoyu suddenly asked.
"Yes, but you have to get the permission of the owner of the Tower of Life, and you can't stay outside for more than two hours a day.”"If you let me go out for two hours every day, I can help you solve any small problems you encounter."”
Zhu Xiaoyu was stunned. Looking at the righteous look on Dian Yuan's face, he wanted to laugh, but he held it in.
"Senior, may I ask, how old are you this year? What's your spirit power rank?"”
Dian Yuan smiled mysteriously." I'm five hundred and thirty years old this year. As for my soul power, it's rank ninety nine. He had been in the Tower of Life for more than 48,000 years.”
Zhu Xiaoyu shouted," How is that possible? Senior, you must be fooling me. You're only 500 years old. How can you have been here for almost 50,000 years?"”
Dian Yuan said," You don't know this. In the Tower of Life, the ratio of time to the outside world is 1:100. In other words, 100 years in the Tower of Life is only one year outside. I've lived in the Tower of Life for 48,000 years, but only 480 years have passed outside."”
So that was the case. Zhu Xiaoyu nodded thoughtfully. "Right, qian bei, we met a golden scale lizard in a psychedelic formation. After killing it, we accidentally obtained this life pagoda. I can't walk out of this formation now.”
Dian Yuan nodded," This is very simple. This maze was originally set up by the God of Life to test the candidates. Now that the Tower of Life has an owner, the maze outside will naturally break." That kid outside is also a person with great luck. Moreover, you actually have a martial soul fusion skill. Your future is limitless.”
"I understand, Senior. May I ask what is the first trial of my life's nine trials?”Zhu Xiaoyu asked.
Dian Yuan glanced at Zhu Xiaoyu, then turned around and walked to the stairs at the side. He said as he walked,""Follow me."
Zhu Xiaoyu hurriedly followed him. When he and Dian Yuan went up to the second floor, he found that the space on the second floor was smaller than that on the first floor. There was only one dark green stone platform on the second floor. There were sparse patterns on the stone platform. In the center of the stone platform was a blue-gold stone pillar that was 10 meters high and about half a meter in diameter.
Dian Yuan walked over and said to Zhu Xiaoyu behind him,""Place your right hand on the groove on the stone pillar and pour your spirit power into it.”
When Zhu Xiaoyu heard this, he walked up to the stone platform and pressed his right hand into the groove on the stone pillar. The groove happened to be in the shape of a palm print, and it matched the size of Zhu Xiaoyu's palm perfectly.
Zhu Xiaoyu urged the soul power in his body and poured it into the stone pillar.
The color of the stone pillar began to change. It first turned white, then quickly turned yellow, purple, black, red, and finally jumped to dark green, becoming the same color as the stone platform.
Immediately following that, a dark green light descended from the sky, enveloping Zhu Xiaoyu's entire person within. Zhu Xiaoyu only felt himself bathing in a warm light, all the bones and muscles in his entire body becoming active. Surprisingly, in this instant, his soul power once again broke through to the extent of rank-43.
While Zhu Xiaoyu was enjoying the light bath, this comfortable feeling completely disappeared. Immediately after, a huge amount of information flowed into Zhu Xiaoyu's mind. It contained everything that the Source had said, including the contents of the first trial of the nine trials of life, and some other information about the Tower of Life, such as the method to control the Tower of Life.
It took Zhu Xiaoyu an hour to digest the information. He couldn't help but smile. He had really profited this time. The guardian of the Tower of Life, Dian Yuan, didn't have freedom. He only had certain authority in the Tower of Life. No wonder he seemed to be so good to him. It turned out that he wanted to please him.
After understanding this, Zhu Xiaoyu finally noticed the contents of his first test.
The first of the nine life tests, Victory of the Song of Victory, helped the Shrek Seven Devils win the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament two years later.
