Chapter 620: The Purpose of the Five Empires_1
More than a year after its first appearance, the 33-Level Tower starts acting strangely again.
The light is erupting, chaos-like thunderbolts are spreading from the 11th to 30th levels, a rich aura is flowing down from the 30th level, like a torrent of seawater.
"The higher levels are about to open!"
"Yes! The previous ten levels have already brought us countless resources. If more levels open, the resources will be as plentiful as sea waves, and it seems like as many as twenty new levels are on the verge of opening all at once."
"I wonder what is hidden within the 33rd level, and what is the origin of the divine mountain?"
...
The changes in the 33-Level Tower have attracted the attention of countless strong individuals.
The resources that the major forces accumulated over the years of war have been consumed too quickly.
They all desperately need a supply of resources, and no one knows when this war that sweeps across an entire grand universe will finally end.
Without delay, an enormous number of figures rushed into the newly reopened twenty-level world, but most of them were suddenly, violently repelled by an overpowering force, barred from entering.
"What's going on? Why can't we get in?"
"Have you noticed that only those with Mystic Deity ranks and below can enter? Those ranked higher than Mystic Deity are all kept out!"
"Is it that this newly opened world forbids those ranked higher than Mystic Deity from entering? Damn it!"
...
Powerful beings ranked Mystic Deity and above were all barred from outside of the twenty-level world.
A person of great ability speculated and responded to the power fluctuations of the 33-Level Tower: "No, no, that's not it. The newly opened twenty levels are still in the state of just being unsealed, the laws of heaven and earth within are unstable. The prohibition against stronger entities from entering is a natural rejection produced by the interior.
If someone forcibly breaks in, they will likely be suppressed by the entire tower. However, as time passes, the internal rules will become more stable, and then those who have higher than Mystic Deity rank will gradually be able to enter."
The Imperial City of Dawu.
"Your Majesty, should we go in?"
Even though Dawu has occupied the seventh level, they obviously need resources from higher levels.
"Have Phoenix take people gradually into the newly opened twenty levels and have the other legions get ready."
Chu Yuan cannot go in right now and is not clear about the situation inside.
A Saint Deity tried to forcefully break the seal but was backlashed by the 33-Level tower with a crushing force. The Saint Deity was scared out of his wits, as the power unleashed by the tower could kill Saint Deities.
Seven days later.
A new change occurred, and those ranked higher than Mystic Deity were now able to enter.
Chu Yuan continued to wait.
A month later, the Deity level beings were able to enter.
"The Divine Army is entering the 33-Level Tower."
Chu Yuan watched as over two hundred thousand divine army soldiers set off.
Xu Dao stood among the troops, clutching his sword with a grim expression.
Xu Dao is low-key and speaks infrequently, but he is extremely fierce in battle.
After joining the divine army, he fought fearless of death and slaughtered countless enemies with his sword.
Therefore, Chu Yuan gave him a Deity Elixir to help him breakthrough the realm.
"The divine army is marching out!"
The divine army entered the 33-Level Tower.
"Your Majesty, I've noticed something strange about the recent battles,"
The opening of twenty levels drew the attention of countless people, but Lu Qianfu found something strange and incomprehensible about the recent war situation.
"I know what you are trying to say." Chu Yuan nodded.
"I've found that the Qingmu Everlasting Empire has been very quiet lately. Although there have been continuous small battles, there hasn't been a major decisive battle. Even the other realms, including the four major empires, are the same."
Lu Qianfu said, "Ever since they emerged from the forbidden lands, they've been launching continuous assaults to quickly rebuild their kingdom and take over a large territory with the momentum of a thunderbolt. But after that, their actions have slowed down considerably."
He believes that the calmness of the ancient Five Emperor States is a sign that a storm is coming.
"Because of the ancient Five Emperors." Chu Yuan said.
"They're waiting for the return of the ancient Five Emperors!"
Lu Qianfu blurted out!
He had carefully studied the history of the Five Emperor States of ancient times. The Five Emperors were the protagonists of the ancient era, shining brighter than anyone else in their time. They left simultaneously, and now they're returning the same way. Indeed, it's very strange.
"Without the Five Emperors, their real grand plan is hard to implement."
Chu Yuan had also been pondering over the issue: "The rebuilding of the Five Emperor States aims to gather national fortune and occupy the Eternal Grand World. Although I'm not exactly clear about their specific purpose, I can still vaguely infer some things. Look here."
He waved his hand, and the light and shadow emerged, revealing a map of the Eternal Grand World.
The ancient Five Emperor States are situated in five different positions.
"These five positions!"
Li Jianqing, who was on the side, made a shocked guess, "It seems to be some kind of Formation, allowing the five Great Emperor states to connect their powers together. I have a premonition that with the power of the Five Emperor states, it's possible to draw on the Origin Power of the Eternal Grand World. Could it be a way to bring back the Five Emperors?!"
Where exactly the Five Emperors are is something nobody knows at the moment.
But one thing is certain, the Five Emperors are currently in the vast cosmic space, hurrying back.
"Yes, that's likely the case." Discover exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire
Chu Yuan said, "If the five emperors are to return to the Eternal Grand World relying solely on their own power, it would take a long time. However, if the Five Emperor States form a great formation with the Origin Power of the Eternal Grand World, they could tremendously shorten this time and bring the Five Emperors back."
If the Five Emperors return, their power must be far greater than in ancient times. Few can match them.
The ancient Five Emperor States also know this, so they have been relatively calm during this time.
"We can't let the Five Emperors return so quickly!"
Li Jianqing knew, Dawu needed time!
"I see it, and the other imperial forces see it too. They won't let the Five Emperor States get what they want either."
Chu Yuan said with a strategic eye: "The war has moved from the initial defensive stage, gradually into a stalemate with the ancient Five Emperor States, and by and large, the strategic counterattack of each imperial power in the Eternal Grand World Alliance, we are about to start disrupting the Five Emperor estates operations."
"To achieve this will not be easy."
Lu Qianfu commented gravely, "Although the ancient Five Emperor States have not launched a major campaign recently, it's clear that their expeditions have never ceased - they continue striking various powers, thwarting our moves to disrupt their plans. Moreover, their power is too formidable."
"It is indeed difficult."
Chu Yuan agreed: "But even so, we must do it. At present, the five Great Emperor States are desperate to get their emperors back as quickly as possible, and until the Five Emperors return, every force in the Eternal Grand World has a chance. If we can severely wound the Five Emperor States before the Five Emperors return, even after the Five Emperors return, the future wars will be much easier.
Otherwise, if they truly achieve an invincible position, it would be a real disaster."
"Just wait, a new round of changes in the war situation is about to begin." said Chu Yuan.
"We, Dawu, must also rapidly expand our power and not let the situation fall entirely into a passive state."
Lu Qianfu nodds.
"No one wants to lose this war, be driven from their homes, and become a wanderer in the vast cosmos,"
Chu Yuan gazes up at the sky, saying coldly.
