"Brother Bai, what if I told you that I also don’t know what that is, would you believe ?" Ning Baishou said.
Bai Sanxiang clenched his teeth, his expression unchanged, "Sure, as long as you say it, I’ll dare to believe."
"It seems you don’t believe."
Ning Baishou gave a bitter smile and shook his head, "Well, forget it. Considering our years of friendship, I’ll let you die knowing the truth. Actually, I don’t know much myself. I can only tell you that the blocking drug has taken effect, the Star Tower will close, and starting from now, this safe zone... has been abandoned by Lie Zhenzi! Those from the Abyss will climb up along the Star Tower and completely occupy this place."
"What are you talking about?"
The crowd was shocked.
What blocking drug?
What does it an that the Star Tower is closing?
What does being abandoned by Lie Zhenzi an?
What does it an, those from the Abyss climbing up the Star Tower?
Why did every word Ning Baishou said sound familiar to them, yet when combined, they felt so alien?
Only Bai Sanxiang felt that he sowhat understood the aning.
Blocking drug... he used this special thod to disrupt the state of the Star Tower, forcing it to shut down?
With his existing knowledge, that was all Bai Sanxiang could think of.
But that thought alone was enough to make him say with a tingling scalp, "Old Ning, do you understand what you are doing? You’re going to get everyone in the city killed!"
Bai Sanxiang didn’t fully understand what ’the Star Tower closing’ entailed, but from the literal aning, it clearly implied that this safe zone would lose the protection of the Star Tower.
Without the protection of the Star Tower, the border line was rely graffiti, the seemingly sturdy walls, just plain walls.
In other words, a safe zone without the Star Tower was no different from a dirt building in the wilderness!
By that ti, it was as if everyone had beco a mber of the Pioneering Team, directly facing the swarm of monsters.
These millions of humans would beco fodder for the demons.
No one could survive in the wilderness indefinitely, including himself.
Ning Baishou picked up an ancient and strange bowl.
The bowl was rusty and unremarkable, with a weird half-four-pointed-star pattern drawn at the bottom, yet it emitted waves of decay, the scent of slaughter, and the enticing desire and rage of corruption.
Ning Baishou looked at the bowl with a face full of emotion, "The Star Tower is supposed to be the guardian god of the human realm, yet the fact that there is a being that can make it change hands shows that my god of the human realm is inferior to the foreign gods. In that case, why should I cling to this dood human realm?"
Bai Sanxiang didn’t know what to say, only managed to choke out with red eyes, "Old Ning, there’s still ti to stop!"
"It’s too late. These things, I can’t control them, and neither can you. They are already coming, no one can stop them."
Ning Baishou stared intently at his forr friend, heaving a long sigh after a while, "My whole life, I’ve been conscientious, walking on thin ice, only hoping soday I can enjoy taking revenge and get a high view of the heavens!
"However, Heavenly Dao is flawed, the future uncertain, and I ultimately stopped before the Fourth Realm and could not advance further.
The Astronomy Association promised to give a chance, but I waited for ten years. I saw so many new talents surpass , stand before , I couldn’t wait any longer!
"Until they gave hope! Do you know what they promised ? After it’s done, they will bestow upon a complete Divinity!
"Brother Bai, below a demigod, all are ants, and you too have stopped here! Haven’t you ever resented, ever felt disappointed?
"Tell , if I cannot transcend, what aning do the common people have to ? If I cannot beco a god, what does the world matter to ?"
Ning Baishou’s eyes were filled with red veins, filled with resentnt.
He spoke with vigorous conviction, passionately, as if he was the one betrayed, grievously wronged.
"So you would rather let this great land we’ve hard-won go up in flas? Let millions of innocent citizens in this city be sacrificed for you?" Bai Sanxiang moved closer to the steps, ready to strike at any mont.
"For the so-called common people, to give up hope is not what I wish! Since elder brother has such great aspirations, then go die heroically."
Ning Baishou sighed, "As for myself, I’m sorry, I’d rather be a sinner... than share a long life with mankind!"
Saying this, he pressed the bowl down hard, turning it upside down, and closing the passage at the sa ti.
Clatter clatter! Clatter clatter!
The bowl beca empty, nothing appeared.
The crowd rushed to the stairs, wanting to climb up.
However, at this mont, an invisible force crushed all of them to the ground.
This chaotic, void force surged into the underground, rushing toward the black-liquid-wrapped Star Tower hub.
Everyone tried desperately to stop it, but it was futile.
In the face of such power, whether mortal or Transcendent, none could withstand.
Bai Sanxiang and others lay on the ground, realizing their insignificance.
At this mont, with Ning Baishou gone, their heads as if suddenly cleared from the muddle, rembered the final asure—asking for help!
Facing such an event, even the stationed demigods were dead, they themselves couldn’t possibly resist.
The only possibility was to ask for help from the headquarters of the Eastern Combat Zone!
They all desperately twisted their bodies, so stretching out their tongues to lick the tips of their noses, others clicking their fingers shaking their bracelets, all just to activate the Promotion Drive and send out a distress signal.
However, despairingly, they realized that no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t activate the Promotion Drive which should have turned on instantly!
"It’s over..."
Bai Sanxiang and others were pressed to the ground, their faces despondent, watching helplessly as the black liquid continued to surge and subrged the entire urn-shaped space, ultimately giving up resistance.
They knew, from now on, it wouldn’t take long for this safe zone to beco a slaughterhouse for the monsters.
In the last mont, subrged by darkness, the only female director, the head of Mo Palace, finally broke down emotionally and cursed at Bai Sanxiang, "Bai Sanxiang you fucking doom-monger you said what ’fish in a barrel’ huh!"
Unintentionally, these words sealed the matter, leaving Bai Sanxiang speechless.
