Chaos Devourer System - Chapter 640

Chapter 640: The Unfulfilled god’s Tower…
“He was an entity faced with the heavenly god trial, and he passed it. Unfortunately, passing it would mean that he would have just three seconds to ascend to the higher realm.

But the god had wishes that were unfulfilled yet, and he only had three seconds to fulfill them.”

“The amount of time given was impossible to complete his wishes, so in the last three seconds, he built a tower, which spread into three and imbued within them his wishes, in the form of trials that lead to worlds where the mission of his wishes would be given to the trial taker to solve.

Solving the trial would mean obtaining a gift of appreciation from the god himself. A legend says that if one is able to complete even a trial, it’s enough to turn the person’s life upside down for good.

No one passes the god’s trial and remains an ordinary mortal. That’s the phrase that aptly describes the tower…” He narrated to them, causing various lights to flash in the eyes of the students.

“A tower of trial. Passing would mean receiving a gift of appreciation from a true god!!?” Zeras mused to himself.

The trial itself seemed almost impossible to contemplate, yet the fact that he had obtained the book which revealed to him such a tower cleared his doubts.

‘The first page of the book. I think it shows a map. There’s a link somewhere. Could I have caused the tower to appear once more?’ Zeras mused to himself, his eyes flashing with thousands of thoughts, before suddenly an image magnified in his brain.

“That scrawny man is the one who caused me to go pick up the book. That man isn’t as scrawny as he looks…” Zeras mused to himself.

“Some of you might wonder if the tower wouldn’t be completely filled with trial takers, but you have no need to worry. Ever since its creation, the tower’s trial has never been fully completed.

This gives everyone a chance. And I repeat it, absolutely anyone can join the tower as it will only be open for at most a year, or it could close up tomorrow.

We don’t exactly know. So everyone is allowed to partake in the trial, either outer sect, inner sect, core sect, or the grand elders and minor elders. The tower is absolutely open for everyone and your rewards within are only for you to take and defend,” he said as a strange light flashed in his eyes.

‘That old man is no good soul…’ Zeras mused to himself.

“That said, opportunities do coexist with dangers, and we have had issues where those who entered the tower never returned back to real life until the tower closed up.

The requirements for each tower are different, but no matter how difficult they are, being powerful and confident of solving the mysteries of unfulfilled wishes will help you out.

That said, anyone is absolutely free to not participate in the tower. If you feel you’re better off, then fine, you won’t be forced. After all, it’s a dangerous journey to embark on.

From now on, the distinction between inner and outer sect members has been removed. Everyone is free to do what they want until the tower closes. All inner and outer sect disciples are free and can make their individual choices without the regulation of the elders or inner sect disciples.

The aim of this is to give you freedom to partake in the tower trials. If it is used for any other thing such as bullying the weaker ones, or picking a useless fight with inner sect disciples, believing you’re stronger than them, then you will be blessed with a fight with me.

It’s close to five centuries since I have last stretched these old bones of mine anyway. Hahahahaha,” the old man said laughing out loud.

“Ok. That is all we want you to know. On your exit, you would all sight the tower; it’s just around here in the sect. Good luck everyone, and I wish you success in whatever your endeavors are. You can all leave now…” The crimson-haired man said, waving them off.

In the next instant, a gigantic portal appeared behind them, while the hole in space above the old man closed up, reducing everything to balance.

With one last bow, everyone began exiting through the portal and Zeras also turned back and walked towards it, or at least he tried to.

“What are you doing, boss?” Kenji asked when he saw Zeras stood rooted to where he was, unmoving at all, even as the various disciples passed by them and disappeared into the portal.

“Kenji, take Fluffy away from my shoulder, and I’ll be joining you back soon…” Zeras said as Kenji raised an eyebrow, the same for Fluffy, who was looking at Zeras with a strange expression.

“But why, boss? We’re all ordered to leave.”

“Just take Fluffy and go, you dum-dum. I have an important thing left to do!” Zeras barked back at him as Kenji shrugged helplessly, picked up the tiny Fluffy, and slowly walked away.

“Don’t do something stupid, boss…” he said before quickly scurrying away from the place.

Zeras smiled helplessly until his disappearance, as the area quieted down completely, all the students disappeared, leaving only Zeras and the elders alone.

“Might I ask what you need from me, elders?” Zeras asked, even though his back was still turned to them. It wasn’t because he didn’t want to move, it’s because he couldn’t! His movements had been absolutely locked down, so much he couldn’t even move a muscle.

“Hahahahaha Morana. It is not like you to take an interest in young men, is it? At least release him from your aura lock!” the voice of the crimson-haired man said. Zeras felt the lock on his body parts disappear and he could finally turn back to face the elders. His eyes turned to look at the dark-clothed woman, who slowly walked towards him.

Two meters away from him, Zeras’s face changed massively as horrifying veins appeared over all of his face, and a deep sense of anger burst through his head.

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR!!!
