The last building on earth

Wang Xuan's heart trembled slightly.

Qian Lao, who looked frail, suddenly showed such a sharp look, which was so real that Wang Xuan had a strange feeling that his whole body was being scanned.

This feeling made him very uncomfortable, and his brows immediately wrinkled.

Anyway, he was ready to leave the building. No matter whether the other party was a highly respected elder or not, besides, he was now the Lord of the Nine Halls, so the other party could not do anything to him for the time being.

With this thought in mind, Wang Xuan responded in return, looking at Mr. Qian's sharp eyes without giving an inch.

The air in the conference room was slightly solid, and the atmosphere became subtle. Several elders could vaguely see that Mr. Qian came not only to convey this sentence to Zhou Mingrui, but also to target Wang Xuan.

Mr. Li coughed lightly and broke the deadlock, saying, "Mr. Qian, do you agree with Zhou Mingrui's decision?"

Mr. Qian gently paused the crutch in his hand, and his sharp eyes became cloudy again. He slowly retracted his gaze from Wang Xuan and said with a faint smile: "Of course, since he has such intention, he wants to use Kung Fu Atonement, why don’t we fulfill him?”

Mr. Li nodded, looked at the other elders, and said, "Where are you?"

As he spoke, he looked at the old man with all white beard and eyebrows. Except for Mr. Qian, the remaining six of them were divided into two camps. The other camp was led by the old man with all white beard and eyebrows.

Mr. Chen glanced at Mr. Qian and showed a trace of hesitation. After thinking for a while, he nodded slightly and said, "Since Zhou Mingrui proposed it himself and Mr. Qian agreed, we naturally have no objection."

Several other elders nodded one after another, and the matter was finally settled.

Mr. Qian narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "To open the road to heaven, you not only need strength, but also luck. Although Zhou Mingrui has strength, he lacks luck, otherwise he would not be where he is today."

"Yes, it's not easy to open the road to heaven." Mr. Chen shook his head and sighed: "If Zhou Mingrui goes away, he will probably not be able to come back."

Wang Xuan listened to their conversation. This was the first time he heard about the "Road to Heaven". Hearing what they said was so sinister, could this so-called "Road to Heaven" be the road to a higher world?

Mr. Qian's eyes fell on Wang Xuan again and said: "Before the change, when Zhou Mingrui entered Tongtian Road, there was naturally no hope of coming back, but this time it is different."

"What does Mr. Qian mean that he has hope this time?" The other elders all looked at Mr. Qian with surprised expressions on their faces.

Although Zhou Mingrui is powerful, several elders here have unfathomable strength, but even if they join forces, they dare not say that they can come back alive after entering Tongtian Road. How can Zhou Mingrui succeed alone? How could Mr. Qian have such confidence in him?

Seeing everyone's doubts, Mr. Qian chuckled. All the teeth in his mouth were about to fall out. Only three or two scattered teeth could be seen in his open mouth.

"I said, if you want to open the road to heaven, what matters is not strength, but luck. The appearance of two giant books in the east is already our luck. This time the battle between the Lords of the Nine Halls is even more important. Fight..."

"Luck may seem ethereal, but it is real and affects and controls each of us."

"Our new Lord of the Nine Halls must have strong luck and profound blessings. With him here, Zhou Mingrui will definitely succeed this time."

Everyone was stunned, and Mr. Li lost his voice and said: "Mr. Qian means to let Wang Xuan go to Tongtian Road together?"

Qian Lao clenched the crutch in his hand with both hands, slowly raised it, and then lowered it, making a crisp snapping sound.

"Yes, this is what Lao Wang meant. Don't worry, we two old guys will also accompany you."

Hearing that there was another Mr. Wang who was not present, even Mr. Li fell silent. He looked at Wang Xuan sitting aside, then at Mr. Qian, and frowned.

Mr. Qian seemed to understand what everyone was thinking, and said slowly: "Even if Zhou Mingrui didn't mention this matter, Lao Wang and I would have brought it up. Originally, we thought that Bai Xue, that girl, would take over as the Lord of the Nine Halls. When she boarded the As the Lord of the Nine Halls, her personal destiny will be connected with the national destiny of our Eastern world. With the help of her and the Book of the Titans, if you try to enter the Heavenly Road, you will have a high probability of success."

"But things are unpredictable. No one can imagine that Bai Xue is just a passer-by. Wang Xuan is the real chosen one. We can only use you to help us open the road to heaven and save our lives."

After hearing what Mr. Qian said, several other elders finally understood why Zhou Mingrui suddenly attacked as the Lord of the Nine Halls in full public view. I am afraid that there are more shadows of Mr. Qian and Mr. Wang behind this. Maybe this was their plan from the beginning.

Regardless of the success or failure of Wang Xuan and Bai Xue, they must use the new Lord of the Nine Halls and the Book of the Giant to open the road to heaven and grab a glimmer of hope.

All the keys fell on Wang Xuan.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Wang Xuan finally couldn't help it anymore and said: "Seniors, what exactly is the Road to Heaven that you are talking about? Is it the passage to the fifth level of the world?"

Mr. Li shook his head and said: "No, Tongtian Road has nothing to do with the fifth world. The two are not the same thing."

Wang Xuan always thought that the so-called Tongtian Road was the road to the fifth world. After hearing what Mr. Li said, he realized that he had guessed wrong.

"No? What is that?"

Li Laodao: "You have entered the North Area on the first floor before, and you should have also entered the Hell Tower on the second floor."

Wang Xuan nodded.

Li Laodao: "In this building, from the first floor to the fourth floor where we are now, there is a special forbidden area. The first floor is the north area that requires the teeth of the hell dog to enter. The second floor is The forbidden area on the third level of the nine-level hell tower is in the central city, and the forbidden area on the fourth level is the road to heaven."

Wang Xuan was familiar with the North Area and the Hell Tower on the first floor, and the forbidden area on the third floor was a building in the central city. The door could not be opened. He knew all the forbidden areas on the third floor. Only now did he know that it turned out that The forbidden area on the fourth level is the "Road to Heaven".

"Where is this Tongtian Road? Do you need to rely on luck?" Wang Xuan thought of the real power that Zhou Mingrui had when he snatched the Book of Giants before. It was unfathomable. If he entered Tongtian Road with his strength, there would be no return. The dangers can be imagined. This Qian always wants to drag him along with him. He has ulterior motives and is afraid that he has no good intentions. However, he is ready to leave this world, and now he can make peace with it.

Li Laodao: "There are many legends about the Tongtian Road. Because of the special nature of the world above, the world basically ends when we reach our level. This makes us have to think of another way, and the Tongtian Road is one option."

The more Wang Xuan listened, the more confused he became. He couldn't help but said: "Mr. Li, you said that the special nature of the world above ends at our level. What do you mean?"

Several elders knew the details of Wang Xuan, and understood that he had just broken through to the ultimate level, and could almost be regarded as a newcomer entering this world from the world below. If it weren't for the fact that he controlled the Book of Giants, Yingtian, Long Hao and others It is impossible for the palace master to help him break through to the ultimate level. He is still at the perfect level now, let alone sitting here on an equal footing with the elders.

So he knew nothing about the secrets of these high-level officials, but these elders could understand.

Mr. Li glanced at Mr. Qian sitting in front of him and found that Mr. Qian had his eyelids drooping. After saying what he just said, he stopped talking. When Wang Xuan asked, he said: "Above us, this is The fifth floor of a building can also be regarded as the fifth world. The requirements for entering the fifth world are very simple. You only need to break through to the ultimate level to be qualified."

"Besides, are there no other requirements?" Wang Xuan was a little curious.

Mr. Li shook his head and said, "I don't have any requirements."

Wang Xuan originally thought that entering the fifth level world would be complicated or difficult, but he didn't expect to hear Mr. Li say it was so simple. Although it is difficult to break through to the ultimate level, he thought that this fourth level world has so many large and small forces, including the East, Among the three major forces in the west and north, there must be people who have broken through to the ultimate level, including the elders in front of him. They seemed unfathomable and even his Zhoutian Eye could not see through them. Wang Xuan doubted whether they had already broken through to the ultimate level.

But I don’t know what the special characteristics of the fifth level world that Mr. Li just mentioned are.

Mr. Li glanced at Wang Xuan and said: "As for why I said the world above is very special, it's because once you enter that world, you can never come back. Before us, there were some people who broke through the ultimate and entered the world. The world above, but never came back. It was an unimaginable world that no one dared to enter casually. For us, this road is cut off, and the only hope is the road to heaven."

Wang Xuan said in confusion: "I still don't understand, even if we can't enter the fifth level of the world, why the Tongtian Road becomes the only hope."

This time, Mr. Xiao spoke, her voice was very gentle, and she said: "Wang Xuan, you have only come to this world not long ago, and you don't understand many things. If you stay in this fourth level world, your breakthrough to the ultimate level will be over. If you can't enter the higher level, The high world can only stop like this, slowly decaying and waiting to die..."

Wang Xuan understood somewhat. These elders in front of him should be very old, especially Qian Qian, who seemed to be likely to die at any time. If they want to live longer, perhaps the only way is to become stronger. But if you stay in this fourth-level world, you will reach the ultimate breakthrough, so the only way is to enter a higher-level world to have any hope of breakthrough.

Mr. Li also said that they did not dare to enter the fifth-level world because it was too scary and there was no return. The forbidden area of ​​the fourth-level world, Tongtian Road, became another option.

"I understand that Tongtian Road is another option that can replace the fifth-level world. It allows people to break through the limits of the fourth-level world and become stronger."

Wang Xuan spoke very implicitly, but what he was thinking in his heart was that these elders were afraid that their life span would be short, so instead of waiting for death, they might as well give it a try. Finally, they understood why Mr. Qian stepped forward to deliver the message instead of Zhou Mingrui, and he wanted to join him, hoping that With the help of their own luck and the Book of the Titans, they opened the way to heaven. To put it bluntly, they all had selfish purposes and were all thinking about themselves.

Qian Lao, who had been drooping his eyelids and seemed to be concentrating, suddenly opened his eyes slightly. He seemed to have a piercing eye, seeing through what Wang Xuan was thinking, and said slowly: "All major forces have been trying to open the road to heaven. These Over the years, I don’t know how many people have been buried on the Tongtian Road. We old guys, before our life span is about to end, will enter the Tongtian Road to make a last ditch effort. We come one after another, building the foundation with our flesh and blood, and clearing the way with our lives, not for ourselves. To prolong life is to extend the life of the entire human race.”

Speaking later, the old man Qian, who had a bad impression on Wang Xuan, had a faintly sacred look on his face.

Wang Xuan was startled.

Mr. Li sighed softly and then said: "Wang Xuan, you may not understand the predicament we are facing now. The intruders outside are getting stronger and stronger, but we are locked to the limit by this world. One is ebbing and the other is ebbing. Humanity is... Slowly dying..."

Mr. Xiao said: "Yes, you have come this far from the world below, and you should have discovered that many worlds below have been destroyed, including this fourth level world. Many mountain areas have been abandoned... Every mountain area Being destroyed means the destruction of the world below and the death of a large number of human beings. Now the overall number of human beings is constantly declining. Although we also work hard to encourage the union of men and women to give birth to more offspring, in the end we are only treating the symptoms but not the root cause of these intrusions. The invaders are slowly getting stronger. If we can no longer open the road to heaven and continue to be in the current locked state, this place will eventually become the world of invaders, and we humans will be completely extinct."

Although there are several elders in front of us who are essentially hatchling beasts, they live in symbiosis with humans. If humans are really extinct, they will also die. So at this point, whether they are hatching beasts or humans, their purposes are the same. of.

Wang Xuan felt a faint shock in his heart. He had thought too simply before. He simply thought that Mr. Qian and others had a short life span and wanted to give it a try. He did not expect that there were so many things involved, such as opening the road to heaven. It actually involves the survival of the entire human race.

Along the way, he did see the destruction of many worlds, including the desolation of some mountain areas. He also understood why there are a large number of human beings living in the giant city of Nine Palaces. These humans are strong and weak, and they are of all levels. He now also Understand, when you reach the fourth level of the world, you can't go up any further. Many people have been here for many years. These men and women will also combine with each other and give birth to offspring, which will be passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, many people who are not strong enough survive here. A person who has reached the level of perfection.

Otherwise, according to the rules of the building, only those in the world below who have reached the level of perfection in strength are eligible to enter the fourth level of the world. According to the rules, it is impossible for humans below perfection to exist in the Nine Palaces Giant City.

Wang Xuan understood the cause and effect and fell silent.

Ever since he got the Book of Kings, he has been eager to return home. He can stay here until now only because there are still some people he cares about here. He has always planned to leave after settling these people, so it doesn't matter who he offends, and it doesn't matter at all. I don’t want to continue to be the Lord of the Nine Halls here.

But now listening to their words, Wang Xuan felt pressure.

Can I really leave everything behind?

If all human beings in this world are really going to be destroyed, will Zhao Lei, Tie Jun and others, including the missing Gu Manyao and Tang Ruoyu, have to face death.

Looking at Wang Xuan who fell silent, Mr. Li sighed with emotion: "I don't know how many dead souls and bones have been buried on the Tongtian Road. They can all be regarded as our ancestors, but they have never been able to truly succeed. The appearance of the Giant God's Book can be considered as a success." We brought a ray of light.”

Wang Xuan suddenly thought of something strange and said, "Then Bai Xue has obtained the Book of Giant Gods. You could have asked her to use the power of the Book of Giant Gods to open the road to heaven."

Mr. Li shook his head and said: "I tried, but the road to heaven opened by the giant god is not suitable for us humans. This is the rule limit of the building. We humans must rely on ourselves to open the road to heaven."

Mr. Qian said slowly: "So our only hope is to rely on your luck as the Lord of the Nine Halls. You can be selected by the Book of Giant Gods and win the final victory in today's battle. This is God's will. We old guys We all believe in God’s will and destiny, and with your help, we will definitely be able to open the road to heaven this time.”

After Mr. Qian finished speaking, all the elders' eyes fell on his face.

Wang Xuan took a deep breath and understood that these veterans were just trying to catch up. Looking at this attitude, he couldn't agree even if he didn't agree.

He nodded slightly and said: "Now that I know that the Tongtian Road is so important and even related to the rise and fall of the entire human race, as a member of the human race, I can only be used where I am needed, so I naturally have no reason to disagree."

When several elders heard what he said, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"but……"

Wang Xuan suddenly changed the subject.

"Nothing." Several elders suddenly became nervous, fearing that he would deliberately make things difficult and evade him. Even Mr. Qian looked at him with wide eyes.

Wang Xuandao: "Tongtian Road is dangerous and unpredictable. I don't know if I can come back again. I have to settle some of my friends first."

When these elders heard this, they all let out a sigh of relief. It turned out to be such a trivial matter.

Mr. Qian paused the crutch in his hand slightly and said: "Of course, this matter is of great importance and we also need some time to prepare. Is it okay to settle down in one day, two days or half a month?"

Wang Xuandao: "I still need help from all the seniors in this matter, because the third-level world where the friends I need to settle happens to belong to the area of ​​the 'Hall of Justice', so I'm afraid there will be some trouble."

These elders are all fine people. When Wang Xuan said this, he immediately understood what was going on. He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to bargain.

Compared to Wang Xuan's willingness to go to Tongtian Road, these are nothing. This time, it was Mr. Chen who took the initiative and said: "It's simple. From now on, that mountain area will no longer be under the jurisdiction of the Hall of Justice and will be directly assigned to the Lord of the Nine Halls." You take charge personally."

The Lords of the Hall of Justice and other members of the hatching beast camp basically follow Mr. Chen's lead. Since he said this, the Lord of the Hall of Justice, Zhou He, would not dare to disobey him no matter how unhappy he was.

(I’m going out to eat tonight, so I’ll start coding for the second update soon when I get back, but I’m not completely sure it will be in time. I can only say that there is a half chance that there will be a second chapter, so if not, don’t wait, let me know in advance)!!
