Volume 3: Star Tower Chapter 33: Eliminating Hatred
In the first three rounds, the low-level demons, the regular demon army and the half-demons were all fighting against the enemy, but the enemies became stronger each time, and the number of warriors who could kill them became fewer each time.
But what is the situation now?
The warriors are trapped in a cave like this. There are no enemies left. Who should we kill?
Faced with the slowly rising water level under my feet, the originally pleasant sound of the spring water seemed to have a more depressing feel.
Tang Zheng heard his own breathing and heartbeat.
His ears had been trained for ten years and could distinguish different sounds from a mass of noise much more clearly than normal people. But the sounds he could hear now were not only not chaotic, but also very few.
It's almost suffocating.
Tang Zheng stood there quietly, feeling the anger in his body, which had calmed down a little, rising up again.
Pheasants, macaques, half-demons...
The first three rounds were a constant flow of killing, which made his heart ripple. First he was excited, then numb, then excited again, and then numb again. His mood kept changing in the different streaks of blood.
Then, suddenly, he was trapped by an upside-down bowl in a place where there was nothing to kill?
Where should he put the murderous intent that was constantly aroused by one small sword after another?
“Haha…hahaha…” Tang Zheng laughed, completely ignoring his own pounding heartbeat, “The Seven Killing Star Lords are the ones who truly survived the battlefield!”
If someone were here, they would definitely ask him why he suddenly jumped to judge the Star Lord.
The early experiences of the first Star Lord have long been exaggerated by the so-called oral recollections of this "mentor", that "neighbor", or some "playmate". Is there any truth left?
When Tang was trapped in the valley, he remembered the twenty-eighth question among the sixty-two questions asked by the Star Lord Tianji not long ago.
What he asked was, if you knew you were going to die in an hour, what do?
Tang Zheng had carefully thought about all of Tianji Star Lord's questions in his heart, because those might all be his experiences, but now it seems that they are probably not just his experiences...
Tang Zheng answered immediately: "Isn't there still one hour left? One hour is enough to do a lot of things."
However, he only now realized that one hour might not be enough to accomplish many things!
But no matter what, when he thought about the question from the Star Lord of Tianji, the anger in his body suddenly calmed down. He didn't shout or bang things around.
Without the influence of hostility, Tang Zheng calmed down. In fact, he had encountered many such difficulties in the games of his previous life.
Isn’t it just an upgraded version of a limited-time escape room?
Not only had he seen many secret rooms in his previous life, he had also encountered them many times in the predecessor of the Su Shi Wen Xing Tower - the amusement park built by Huangfu Xuanluo.
So what kind of dying dilemma is this?
Once he calmed down, Tang Zheng smiled again.
Because, those small swords were actually double-edged swords, and the evil spirit they transformed into did not only disturb his mind. At this moment, he actually felt that his brain was clear, as if some force was pulling him to perceive his own star power...
It was just like the effect produced by the guided martial arts in the book when he was learning the dagger technique!
His heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously looked up, just in time to see that he and the stars behind him were reflected on the smooth ceiling. He seemed to be wrapped in bright light and was shining brightly.
In fact, when he was just able to rise up to the stars, he had seen them in the mirror countless times. Such magical stars that exceeded all his understanding of reality were almost the biggest proof that he chose to travel through time.
He jumped out of the cage of the mortal body and pursued a wider world.
But even when he saw his horoscope for the first time, he didn't feel as shocked as he does now.
Astrology is not something that is taken seriously by most warriors.
This is because most warriors cannot practice secret martial arts and cannot directly invoke the stars to fight!
Therefore, for them, astrology is just a nice-looking family emblem or something like that, but it has no real effect.
At most, it is just one of the many factors that determine astrological talent.
Most of the warriors in Xingyao Continent cannot enter the aristocratic academy.
Most of the warriors who entered the aristocratic academy could not get access to the secret martial arts.
Martial artists who have access to secret martial arts may not necessarily be able to reach the Seven Killings Island.
The warriors who landed on the Seven Kill Island might have been eliminated early. According to Tang Zheng's observation, among the first group of more than 400 people who landed on the island, only less than 100 people could persist until the fourth round.
Only these one hundred people could, at this moment, raise their heads and gaze squarely at the starry sky reflected on the inverted ceiling, which was magnified and refracted with incomparable brilliance by the zenith - starry sky that they had never paid attention to before and which had no real effect!
Above Tang Zheng’s head, the purple gold coin slowly turned.
He had thought it would be funny to see a coin suddenly become so formal and official, but when he actually saw the reflection of the stars rotating above his head, he could no longer laugh.
Tang Zheng is a person who rarely finds anything solemn.
However, at this moment, even he felt that there seemed to be a force that made him stop laughing, and even magically stopped all his funny thoughts and complaints. He looked at himself and the stars that were several times bigger than himself above his head as never before...
He didn't move.
But the reflection above my head moved!
The stars behind him did not move either.
But the reflected stars above my head also moved!
In the reflection above his head, his star power seemed to have turned into substance. Under the guidance of those small swords, it condensed, took shape, and covered... until it filled up the purple gold coin.
"The star power is released... and then, it circulates like this?" Tang Zheng was looking at the purple gold Tongbao, but suddenly felt that it seemed a little different from the purple gold Tongbao he usually used.
It's just a coin...
Tang Zheng was looking at the purple gold Tongbao filled with star power, and suddenly another thing flashed through his mind.
Speaking of which, that other thing is also purple gold Tong Bao!
It was just a box of "commemorative coins" taken out from the unfinished amusement park of Huangfu Xuanluo!
Tang Zheng took out the box from his backpack and saw the words "For the Son of the Sun" written on it.
Exactly the same!
He raised his head, not because he was shocked that the star power could be released and fill the stars so accurately, but because he was shocked that the purple gold Tongbao filled with star power was exactly the same as Huangfu Xuanluo's commemorative coin.
What is going on?
Before he could react, he felt that all the star power in his body was being drained away... Then, the center of the purple gold coin above his head was actually empty, and under the flow of star power, a clear picture emerged...
"The writing system is unified, the wheels are standardized, now all that's left is currency, Alin." Huangfu Xuanluo's voice appeared in the center of the purple gold Tongbao, in a place that was like a mirror.
Her long hair was loose and dragged on the ground.
Compared to the residual consciousness that Tang Zheng saw in the eyes of the Sun Star, it was even more beautiful and moving, and it was almost impossible to look directly at it.
The man she called did not turn around, but just asked, "What's the problem?"
"There were many kinds of currencies circulating in Xinjiang before. Which one should we use?"
"Which one..." The man's voice hesitated for a moment, and then he let out a clear laugh.
"We have also thought about redesigning it, but we can't make a decision after discussing it for a long time. Do you want to take a look?" Huangfu Xuanluo looked a little different, as if... as if he was a real star master, with extraordinary bearing, instead of Canshi, who looked like the naughty little sister next door.
"Since you are all not satisfied, I don't need to look at it anymore." The man waved his hand, and something suddenly appeared in his hand, making Tang Zheng's eyes widen again.
Isn’t that Zijin Tongbao?
No, that is a purple gold Tong Bao that has been magnified many times.
The man then said, "The currency of our Purple Gold Empire... only one thing is qualified to represent it!"
Huangfu Xuanluo raised her head, and Tang Zheng could see that her eyes were lighting up.
“Time… is the only thing in this world that cannot be bought with money. Let’s use it as a form of currency.”
"Yes." Huangfu Xuanluo lowered his head again, unable to conceal his excitement in his voice, "Then please lend me... the Wheel of Taihao!"
Tang Zheng took a deep breath.
No, that's not right.
All his previous understandings were wrong.
No wonder the old history instructor stared at his horoscope for so long during the entrance examination at Yisu Academy.
I'm afraid what the old scholar was looking at was not the Zijin Tong Bao.
Everyone thought that the constellation behind him was Zijin Tongbao, but no one had ever thought about what Zijin Tongbao was modeled after!
Wheel of Taihao.
Tang Zheng remembered these four words, Taihao Wheel.
"Time is the only thing in the world that cannot be bought with money. The Wheel of Taihao is the embodiment of 'time'?" Tang Zheng thought of his astrological talent again - the astrological talent that had always confused him.
How could the astrological sign of the purple gold tongbao behind him unlock the astrological talent of "Eye of Time Prediction"? It was something completely unrelated!
But now he understood that he could hit him!
Is time money?
The currency used to build the financial empire is the only thing in the world that cannot be bought with money - time!
The constellation behind him is naturally not the Zijin Tongbao, but the entity transformed from time that Zijin Tongbao originally borrowed from... the Wheel of Taihao?
"Is the reason I can see all this because of some property of Taihao Wheel that allows it to trace back to the past?" Tang Zheng's mind, which had always been clear, was a little short of capacity at this moment.
But, it’s not clear what’s the big deal now?
A person can only come to the Star-Seeking Tower once in his lifetime, and what he gains here will take decades or even hundreds of years to slowly digest!
Tang Zheng only needs to remember now: time, time, time, Taihao Wheel, Taihao Wheel, Taihao Wheel...
Before he knew it, the water level had risen very high, almost reaching Tang Zheng's chest.
Just as Tang Zheng was holding his breath and preparing to calm down and think about how to use the newly learned method of star power flow to build a star power circuit and break through the wall, another voice appeared behind him.
"Why is it you?" The voice echoed in the upside-down bowl wall.
The anger in Tang Zheng's heart seemed to be brewing again. He turned around and saw Lan Shaoze standing behind him.
He didn't move his eyebrows, just smiled and replied: "Why you again?"
Could it be that the fourth round of tests had not yet ended, but the fifth round had already begun? How could this be possible? They didn't care whether they had broken through the wall or not, and the fifth round would come right away!
The Seven Killing Star Lords launched round after round since the first round, leaving them no time to rest.
But, why rush for time...
