There were two people missing from the tower.
In other words, there were two people missing from the lower five floors of the tower.
For seven hundred years, this tower has been able to function normally despite the absence of common people, nobles, managers, and rulers.
Countless heroes and heroes died, countless villains and tyrants died, but the tower remains the tower.
Gu Hailin and Nie Chongshan from the last era, or even earlier, Duan Feng and Xiao Kuhai who traced back to the origin of the Survey Corps, these former heroes are no longer remembered.
But before time has smoothed everything out, there will still be people who miss those who suddenly disappeared.
Bai Wu disappeared for two days, and the pile of work forced Qin Zong to find Bai Wu.
Finally, a letter was found on Bai Wu's desk.
About entrusting Yin Shuang to manage the Seventh Team, and about leaving the tower himself.
Qin Zong didn't know whether to laugh or cry:
"Both of you left. You two really are worthy of being direct superiors and subordinates from Team 7. You both left without saying a word."
In Qin Zong's view, Bai Wu and Gu Qingyu are now his right-hand men, but these two people seem to be born adventurers.
He was very worried about the two of them.
Both of them can be said to have reached the pinnacle of human beings. Even Bai Wu has surpassed this limit. It is already very difficult to improve further.
Qin Zong is not like Bai Wu.
Bai Wu was brought all the way here by Wujiu and was saved by Wujiu many times. He has a mysterious confidence in Wujiu.
But in Qin Zong's opinion, it would be difficult for Wujiu to improve. He just hoped that the two of them could come back as soon as possible, because if the two of them were not there, some strange things might happen in the tower again.
…
…
The first day after Bai Wu and Cain left.
The fifth floor of the tower.
Qin Ye got a piece of news, which made him a little excited. Soon, Zheng You, Pang Hai, Liu Long, and Wang Jue all got the news.
Even the new ruler of the Zhong family, Zhong Zheng, got the news.
But everyone held back and did not rush to do anything, because it was still unknown how things would turn out.
the eleventh day.
Qin Ye finally couldn't bear it anymore and started looking for Wang Jue, the ancestor of the Wang family.
In Qin Ye's opinion, this eternally youthful woman is wise. Until now, no one knows which force outside the tower the Wang family is cooperating with.
Qin Ye suspected that the power behind her might also be Black Gold Island.
The people of Black Gold Island are playing the trick of having three boats at once and raising poisonous insects.
The Zhong family, the Qin family, and the Wang family are the three poisonous insects.
But sometimes Qin Ye felt that it was not the case. Because the Wang family's business was not related to Black Gold Island.
The Wang family was always able to foresee the future and avoid various risks. Qin Ye also wanted to confirm Wang Jue's wishes.
He did get the answer he wanted from Wang Jue.
Day 16.
Qin Chu, Liu Hu, Pang Li, Wang Su and Zheng Yue had a competition.
This competition made the five people realize the gap between them.
Bai Wu should be the same as the ancestor. Apart from anything else, at least he has reached the pinnacle in terms of companion power.
That is the twelfth level.
This is indeed Bai Wu's current strength, but Well can improve his characteristics. When it comes to taking a beating, Bai Wu's ability is far beyond their imagination.
In particular, the most powerful aspect of white fog is not its accompanying force.
The five family guardians all believed that Bai Wu’s current strength might be stronger than that of the ancestors of each family.
Gu Qingyu's strength is even stronger. Zheng Yue believes this to be true, and so do others.
The reason they were fighting was to assess the gap in core combat power.
Because soon, the Qin family planned to launch a "reform".
Many of the original seventy-two candidates died or escaped. The entire fifth floor was actually a survival battlefield.
Later, when there were only eight companies left, no one could do anything to anyone else. Everyone knew how high the death rate would be, and they also knew that they had no chance of reaching the top.
So the eight families coexisted, and this situation lasted for seven hundred years.
Seven hundred years is a long time, but for the few smart people in the tower, it could have been even longer.
Until a man named Bai Wu appeared.
Now, the conflicts among the eight families have reached their peak.
And with the death of Zhong Xu, several rulers could no longer sit still, and the Yan family even changed their ruler. And the Xie family and the Yan family seemed to have become an alliance for some unknown reason.
Qin Ye and several other rulers saw all these changes. They all thought that if they did not do something, their positions would be unstable.
Later, a stronghold outside the tower was established. During this year, too many magical things happened, and the tower's exploration of the outside world made rapid progress.
Originally, this advancement should be at the macro level. In order to consolidate their rule, the rulers will also return these humans to their original form when humans have achieved certain results.
This was exactly what happened ninety years ago, when all the masters died outside the tower.
They thought they could catch the next change.
But everything developed too fast. In less than a year, the purple area was conquered, the red area was conquered, the evil forces outside the tower were suppressed, the ruler inside the tower died... and the survival base outside the tower was established! Everything developed too fast.
It is completely different from previous historical trajectories.
As a result, several rulers were unable to react in time. Finally, after seeing that Bai Wu had strength greater than that of the Guardians, they realized one thing: they had to take action!
We must find a way to eliminate these unsettling factors, and they believe that the biggest unsettling factors are three points:
Xie family, Yan family, and Survey Corps.
As long as the "cancer cells" of these three towers are cut off, the towers can develop stably and their rule can be long-lasting.
Liu Hu's becoming the deputy head of the Survey Corps was the beginning of change.
But Bai Wu's sudden appearance interrupted their plan.
Especially the strength displayed by Bai Wu, which shocked Qin Ye, Wang Jue, Zheng You, Pang Hai and Liu Long.
Even though they have lived for seven hundred years, they might not be able to defeat the guardians so easily, let alone defeat Qin Xuan among the three guardians.
When did such a monster appear in the tower? What on earth did he experience
All the plans were interrupted because of Bai Wu's display of exceptionally strong strength, especially Bai Wu's final words to Qin Xuan - "You can defend against me for ten days and a half months, but you can't defend against me for three to five years, or ten to eight years."
"I am different from the evil one. I can enter the tower as I please and leave as I please."
These words really frightened the rulers. These people who had ruled the tower for seven hundred years were frightened by a man from the bottom.
But they did not give up.
A dozen days ago, Qin Ye received a reliable piece of news... Bai Wu of the Investigation Corps made a crazy move - heading to the sixth floor of the tower.
Although Bai Wu and Cain chose to act at night, it was difficult to hide from the rulers on the fifth floor.
However, it is unknown whether Bai Wu had already realized that the ruler would know where he was going.
But no matter what, the conclusion is that this troublesome human went to the sixth floor.
And he hasn't returned for more than ten days.
After more than ten days, and based on the current situation they have analyzed, the rulers believe that the current Survey Corps is just a facade. Without Gu Qingyu and Bai Wu, it is vulnerable.
Although the Xie family and the Yan family are powerful, if the other five families join forces, the two families will have no chance of winning.
The best opportunity to eliminate the Xie family, the Yan family, and the Survey Corps has finally arrived.
That’s why we have today’s martial arts performance, where the five major families are measuring their own strength.
Day 19.
On this day, Qin Ye was still making preparations and inquiring about the information of the mercenaries who participated in the defense of the human stronghold outside the tower.
He was ready to catch them all in one fell swoop.
It was also on this day that Zheng Yue and Zheng family ancestor Zheng You had a long talk all night.
Zheng You was very surprised. Normally, whenever this kid wanted to chat with him, he would get rid of him by saying that he wanted to sleep. Why was he acting so abnormal today
Zheng Yue is indeed a lazy man, an incredibly lazy man.
If Zheng Yue could live in the era of Bai Wu's previous life, he would definitely be the leader of the Lying Flat Sect.
Therefore, when a lazy person becomes diligent, it often means that things are serious.
So the old ancestor Zheng You listened to every word of the lazy Zheng Yue.
The next day, Zheng Yue walked out of the forbidden area of Zheng's manor tiredly. He was still yawning and sleepy as usual.
Zheng You was still discussing "change" with several ruling families.
Nothing seems to have changed.
…
…
Day 22.
It has been twenty-two days since the white fog went to the sixth floor of the tower. The rulers are convinced that it is a place that may be more dangerous than the red zone or even the black zone.
It has been more than a month since Gu Qingyu left the Survey Corps.
"They may be dead."
Inside the black square tower, at the huge round table, several shadows appeared.
Qin Ye thought the time had come.
Wang Jue said:
"If it were us, and we left the tower for a month, do you think we would die?"
"It's hard to say. The danger outside the tower may come the next day. We may not even be able to survive the first four to eight hours. As far as I know, the legend of the Survey Corps has an amazing record of lasting twenty-four days outside the tower. But how many times can he replicate this record?" Qin Ye obviously tended to believe that they were dead.
"Is the sixth floor of the tower necessarily more dangerous than outside the tower?" Liu Long has even more exaggerated muscles than Liu Hu.
"We know one thing for sure. If that madman hadn't climbed up there seven hundred years ago, one of us... or even several of us, might have died."
Qin Ye's words were very convincing.
"Moreover, in the past seven hundred years, no one else has gone up there on their own, and those who have gone up have never come down. We know very well that the person who awakened the Absolute Dissolution was a very difficult sequence, but he died on the sixth floor."
Everyone was silent, Qin Ye continued:
"The sixth floor should be about the same size as the fifth floor. Will it take more than half a month to explore the sixth floor? We are not destined to die. The two most troublesome beings are dead. At this time, if we don't choose to kill the danger in the seed stage, there may be a second Bai Wu and a second Gu Qingyu in the future."
Everyone nodded, but they had different thoughts.
Qin Ye didn't notice it, he thought the time had come:
"Humans always seek change, but only by staying the same can we rule. Our biggest mistake is to underestimate the potential of ants. Perhaps we need to cooperate with those outside the tower and use more pure, instrumental humans to help us mine minerals and food."
"You mean... let the lower class..." Wang Jue didn't finish his words. But his meaning was clear.
"That's right. Let some of the lower-level people become complete tools. At the same time, cancel the system of leaving the tower, let the second and third-level people compete among themselves, and stop spreading outward. As long as they can no longer leave the tower, the world outside the tower will not breed powerful humans!"
Pang Hai applauded and said:
"Should I say you are... crazy? Your action will change the survival mode of mankind for 700 years. If you don't leave the tower, the people below will have to be ordinary people for the rest of their lives. But in this case... isn't it a bit too much?"
"To correct a wrong, we need to go too far! We know very well that we don't need any savior, any legend of the tower, and we don't need the Yan family who studies the balance between humans and evil, or the Xie family who studies equipment outside the tower. The tower is ours! Anyone who tries to walk out of the tower is a heretic!"
Qin Ye's eyes looked a little crazy.
Liu Long thought for a moment:
"In fact, this is what we are doing. If we don't stop it, the current situation may have existed hundreds of years ago. But it is indeed not suitable for survival outside the tower. We are doing this for the good of mankind. For the good of mankind, we are the righteous side. What do you think?"
Wang Jue smiled. The beautiful woman did not say anything, but just looked at Pang Hai.
Pang Hai said:
"I don't care about the change for now. The premise of the change is that we can work together to destroy the Yan family and the Xie family. At the same time, how should the research results of the Yan family and the Xie family be distributed? This is what I care about."
Wang Jue looked at Zheng You again, and Zheng You said:
"Hahahaha, don't look at me, I just follow the majority. It has always been like this."
Qin Ye finally looked at Wang Jue:
"You said that what we are going to do will succeed."
"I did say that, so I came." Wang Jue seemed to have made his attitude clear.
Qin Ye glanced at everyone and said:
"This tower needs us. We are the gods of the tower. We are the ones who give the people below power. Aren't they afraid to leave the tower? We just don't let them leave. You may have your own opinions on change, but I believe that history will prove me right. The tower will only survive in our hands."
No one objected to this statement.
After about half a minute of silence, he spoke:
"Let's not talk about anything else. At least we have all agreed to get rid of the Yan family, the Xie family, and the Survey Corps. These guys threaten our rule, and they are even targeting us. I can't wait to twist Yan Zizai's head off. So, kill him."
"While the two legends of the Survey Corps are away, we can quickly eliminate them! Without those two humans in the way, everything will be easy."
Imagining the scene of dividing up the resources of the Xie Family Yan Family, Liu Long spoke first:
"As long as you are sure those two are dead, I will agree. Who wouldn't want to do a business that doesn't lose money?"
"agree."
"I agree."
The rulers of the five major families all agreed.
The biggest war in the history of the tower is about to begin.
