Year of God's Choice

The years in the "tower", apart from torture, are only long.

There is no end to torture, endless, except to become cruel and numb.All the good things in human nature have been honed to nothing.

Delanon watched the people around him go crazy one by one, and the road to promotion became more and more lonely.Sometimes, even the company of someone who wants to kill you is a luxury.

The icy, endless tower.

He is the only one who seems to be a favored existence, because he is the only one who still has a precious emotion called "hope".

The man said to him before leaving:

"Remember how we played hide and seek when we were kids?

Remember how you found your brother? "

So, consciously or unconsciously, he searched for that cross.In the huge space, look for that little cross.

He wasn't worried about not being able to find the tiny cross, because Lowen always remembered his habits and made it easy for him to find it.

I don't know how many years those crosses have gone through, and some of them have even been honed so that they are almost invisible.

But he knew what those crosses meant:

"I've been here before."

"You can continue to search for me."

"I'm alive."

……

As long as he sees these crosses, he feels that no matter how cruel his ascension and promotion are, he will always find a source of peace of mind.The man was waiting for him ahead, guiding him.

Gradually, he seemed to be able to understand why Luo Wen left him in the first place.Luo Wen wanted to take a step ahead of him, as if he wanted to pave the way for him, and those crosses were the road signs he left behind.

Following these signposts, he groped his way forward in the dark. Unlike those desperate guys, Lovin was always guarding him in his unique way.

Dranon didn't know how long it had been in the Tower.He looks so good that he doesn't even know that he was once called "Yan Li".

He became more and more lonely, and even when he entered the upper level, he could not see other competitors.Not to mention the qualification to compete for promotion.After all, it was a screening rate of [-] to [-] million, and it was difficult to find one out of [-] million people who reached his level.

The only thing that supports him to continue to climb is to pursue the traces left by Luo Wen.

.

.

.

Level LV76, an inaccessible high-rise place.

It was an exquisite mechanical maid who guided Yanli to enter here.The paint color on the outside of the robot maid was severely peeled off, and it was unknown how many years the robot had been in operation.

There is no timer in the tower.

From the smooth wall, Yanli saw her appearance change little by little during the promotion of the class, from a 16-year-old boy to a 20-year-old youth.

So he guessed that he had been in the "tower" for five or six years.

It was only later that he learned that the appearance of a high-ranking God's Chosen will not change with the passage of time, but only with the growth of his own strength.

It is this extraordinary magic tower that forced many God's Chosen to complete their "growth" and develop the hidden power in their bodies to the maximum.

"Lord Dranon, this is your room." The voice of the robot began to have an aging murmur. Level 76 is a bit different from other levels. Apart from the cold, dark and long corridors, there is a touch of elegant decoration. Curved lines and patterns can be seen everywhere, which makes Delanon feel a sense of joy inexplicably. .

Because it is too rare for people who can enter the high class, the robot's name for him has been changed to "adult" since the 35th class.

And above the 70th level, those entering the level also have their own special rest rooms and robot servants, and the treatment is really different from those low-level people who are not as good as pigs and dogs who first entered the tower.

Even so, the entire vast labyrinthine stratum is still so lonely and cold that it is chilling.

Delanon entered the room led by the robot, and according to his request, he was assigned "the most gorgeous room in this class".

The entire wall of this room is covered with floor-to-ceiling windows. Through the transparent windows, you can see the bustling street scene outside, as if you are on the heights of a skyscraper, but the street view is nothing more than a delicate projection on the glass, so that the room will not be too crowded. It seemed too dull.

Artificial sunlight pours in through the glass, creating a view of dusk.

Due to the automatic maintenance of the building's interior, the interior furnishings are clean and spotless, which is the luxurious style that Delanon likes. After the painful trial of the previous class, his clothes are shabby, so he throws away the dirty clothes first. clothes, into the bathroom to take a good shower.

There is no doubt that Delanon's body is perfect when he has grown into a young man. When he was lying in the bathtub, the warm water submerged his jade-like skin little by little, showing an astonishing beauty.

He stretched his slender arms out of the bathtub, and inadvertently touched the engraved marks on the edge of the bathtub.

Just like seeing a long-lost relative, he carefully rubbed the familiar, crude cross with his fingertips.

Yes, like Lorwin himself, the cross is always thoughtfully placed where he can find it most easily.

Only where Yanli can find it.

Delanon closed his eyes and stroked it again and again, but he seemed to notice something strange—beside the cross, there was a line of handwriting that had never been seen before. This was the first time that Luo Wen had left him a message in the form of words.

By touching the words one by one, the sentence can be read out.

"Don't... enter... the 87th floor and above..."

Delano's eyes widened instantly.

87 floors!

What kind of height has Luo Wen reached that he can hardly reach!Even reaching the 76th floor, he felt exhausted, not to mention the 87th floor whose level has been increased by an unknown number of times!

How did he return to this layer to leave his handwriting?

No one has ever been able to freely go up and down inside the tower.If you give up the promotion, you will be teleported to the ground in an instant!

Lovin, what have you become?Are you still in the tower?Why didn't you wait for me? !

Is it worth me to keep searching upwards for you?

Delano clenched his fists tightly.

----

The trial area of ​​level 76 not only requires god-like regeneration ability, but also has extremely strict requirements on spiritual power.

When Dranon passed, he was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to stand up. I don't know how many times the wounds on his body had been regenerated and cut, and how many times he had been cut. Healing, even so, he was almost naked and put on the last dress provided as a benefit, considering Luowen's message, thinking whether to stop here, give up the promotion, and then return to the earth to find Luowen.

He sat at the entrance of the temple-like decision elevator, thinking bewilderedly.

There is no one here to compete with him, whether it is the right to waive or the right to be promoted.

Through the statistics screen at the elevator entrance, it shows that so far, only four people have passed through this entrance and entered a higher level. Among those four people, one must be Luo Wen, right?

Delanon hesitated.

Just as he was hesitating, an image suddenly appeared on the main screen. A beautiful woman who looked like a human was wearing an imperial uniform and issued an urgent notice.

"God-chosen soldiers of all classes, please pay attention. The Tower of the Overlord is about to close, so the qualification certification for returning to the ground will be issued uniformly according to the number of people. Please stop the promotion of those who have been certified. All evacuated classes are ready to enter the imperial military reorganization."

"What's going on here?" Dranon watched as the elevator button for promotion went off.The only option is the elevator back to the ground.

So he had no choice but to step into it. At this time, the robot maid came to his door, packed the clothes he requested into the suitcase, and came to see him off.

These robots are also programmed with some emotions, so the robot bids farewell to Delanon with a magnetic voice: "Master Delano, Lord Lovin ordered me to send a message for you, please don't follow in his footsteps, Stay in the empire with peace of mind."

"What?!" Delanon was about to ask something, but unfortunately the door of the elevator was closed, and he followed the speeding elevator, approaching the land that had been separated for a long time.

The descending elevator on the 76th floor is also extremely delicate. There are not only sofas but also TV screens for viewing.

Turning on the TV screen, what appeared on it was not a program, but a wanted warrant.

It reads the most wanted order in the entire empire - three hours ago, Jin Luowen destroyed the Tower of the Overlord privately, defected from the lv90 class, and has been judged the highest level criminal in the empire. The soldiers of the Tower of the Dead must make killing Jin Luowen their top priority.

Delanon posted it in front of the screen at once, carefully looking at the photo of the wanted criminal—Lowen seemed to be a lot more mature, but why did he choose to escape from the Overlord's Tower in this way?Why not wait for yourself? !If you are not allowed to follow in his footsteps, do you not allow yourself to defect from the empire?

Full of doubts, he had to die under the torment of pain. He sat weakly on the sofa and closed his eyes.

The broadcast of the arrest warrant continues:

"Attention, Jin Luowen was severely injured when he defected and escaped from the tower, and his ability was severely damaged. Please step up your search efforts, and those who harbor prisoners will be sentenced to death..."

"Lovin, what have you done?" Delanon frowned tightly.
