Since knowing that the Universe Peak Genius Competition only lasted for two years, Du Gang used the remaining thirteen days of time talisman.
It was equivalent to thirteen thousand extra days. During these days, he did not practice footwork or marksmanship, but put all his energy into understanding the mystery of Ruijin.
In addition, he also borrowed many basic knowledge books from the library and moved them all to the life space.
Whenever he encountered a bottleneck in his profound understanding, he would take out his books and read them like crazy.
In fact, Du Gang's foundation is not very good. He has hardly learned these basic theories. Even if he has learned the "Nine Kills with Spears" and "Nine Levels of Strength" and other exercises before, he has an understanding of strength, but for cultivation and laws I don’t actually know much about the world.
During these days, Du Gang was like a hungry traveler in the desert, frantically learning basic knowledge.
At the same time, as his knowledge of the laws of the metal system increased, his knowledge and strength also increased crazily.
Finally, when he entered the 7000th day of the life space, Ruijin Xuan'ao understood ninety-nine percent, but he could not understand the remaining one percent.
For the next three thousand days and nights, I failed to comprehend the last one percent.
In addition, he read through all the books he brought in, including some miscellaneous books in inherited memories.
In the end, he was so hungry that he took out the "Secret Book of Light and Darkness" that he had put down before.
This is the secret code in Pang Shui's storage ring. Du Gang didn't understand the rules before and couldn't understand it at all, thinking it was an ordinary thing.
Looking back now, I realize that this thing is not simple, and contains the principles of law.
"My affinity for the laws of light and darkness is 5%, which is actually not bad compared to ordinary people. I can also study and learn. Maybe I can learn by analogy and perfect the mystery of Ruijin!"
With this idea in mind, Du Gang quickly began to study.
This learning will use up all the remaining three thousand suns and moons.
In the later stages of his studies, he even forgot that he had not yet broken through the Ruijin Xuanyao.
"Without light, everything in this world would be dark!"
This is a quote at the beginning of "The Secret Book of Light and Darkness". At the beginning, when Du Gang read this sentence, he quickly passed by it without paying too much attention.
However, as he mastered a hidden mystery, his understanding of this sentence became even deeper.
Everyone and any object actually carries radiation, such as thermal radiation, optical radiation, etc., but all this information is transmitted by light.
The occult allows a person to completely hide his light in this world, making himself 'disappear' in this world.
As the understanding of the secrets and mysteries deepened, Du Gang's figure became more and more faded, as if he blended in with the surrounding environment. If you don't look carefully, you can't even notice him.
And he seemed to have entered a certain state, and he didn't even notice that the secret book in his hand fell to the ground.
Not only that, the light that originally relied on fluorescent stones to illuminate the entire space, at this moment, all flickered like a light bulb that was about to break, and began to dim.
Is the fluorescent stone not glowing
No, fluorescent stone is still exerting its effect.
The truth is that something absorbs the light emitted by the fluorescent stone.
As time goes by, the light inside the space becomes darker and darker.
Finally, when the entire space was pitch black and completely invisible, with Du Gang as the center, a halo of light visible to the naked eye spread out in all directions.
This is the realm of light!
Du Gang not only understood the secrets, but after entering a certain special state, he completely understood the secrets and finally owned the domain.
This is actually related to the location of the life space. This space has no connection with other universes and is like a small world. It is in line with the secret and mysterious truth, which made Du Gang realize it at an extremely fast speed.
Soon, as Du Gang's eyes slowly opened, the light that originally belonged to the fluorescent stone gradually recovered, and the entire space lit up again.
Feeling the realm around him, Du Gang showed a smile on his face.
"It turns out that this is how Pang Shui hid in front of me..."
After comprehending the secrets and mysteries, and completing them to perfection, and possessing a realm of light and darkness, he completely understood the principles that Pang Shui had hidden in the first place.
It is through this realm of light and darkness that he completely wraps himself up, completely isolating his body from the outside world and no longer releases any light, thereby achieving physical and mental invisibility.
This kind of invisibility is invisibility that cannot even be detected by mental power, because to detect mental power, you need to find specific objects to perform, but the light and dark field converges all this light, and the mental power cannot accept it. If the signal is received, it will naturally be impossible to detect people.
"call!"
Du Gang exhaled and looked at the timer aside. At this moment, it had exceeded 13,000 days and reached 13,200 days. Seeing this, he quickly left the life space.
"You're finally out!"
As soon as they came out, Balala said happily from the side: "Fortunately you came out, otherwise you would have missed an opportunity!"
Du Gang was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "Hasn't it only been two hundred days? There should be five hundred days until the Universe Peak Genius Competition, right?"
"This is not the opportunity I'm talking about!"
Balala quickly used projection technology, and soon, a tower-like object appeared on the ground.
"This tower, called the Tower of Babel, was jointly built by Virtual Universe Company and three other major companies..."
"There are endless steps inside. Every time you go up a step, the body will be subject to increasing pressure. In addition, the Babel itself will release energy, which can subtly and continuously increase the physical quality of the climber... "
Du Gang suddenly realized that this was a benefit provided by the virtual universe to their disciples, and said with a smile: "Then I am quite lucky, I just happened to catch up..."
"no!"
Balala shook his head and said: "It was supposed to start last week, but Fan An knew that you were in retreat and understood the rules, so he delayed the time for you. Fortunately, you came out, otherwise the people from the other three companies would have been there long ago. I can’t stand it anymore…”
Hearing this, Du Gang quickly said: "Okay, let's go quickly!"
As he spoke, he quickly contacted Fan An.
… …
Galactic Empire.
A group of men and women wearing the clothes of the four major companies quietly got into a secret room.
Inside, Zhou Haotian was sitting.
Seeing them coming in, I didn't waste any time and said directly: "You are all people who have received my funding. Originally, I wanted to wait until you are prosperous and then ask for some treasures that can help me break through and advance..."
"But now, I have to use your favor in advance..."
When one of the leading men heard this, he smiled faintly and said, "Use it in advance to save trouble later, tell me!"
After Zhou Haotian heard this, he was not angry. He just said lightly: "Wang Liang, I remember that you used to be the most respectful in front of me. I didn't expect you to be so confident now..."
He was actually very dissatisfied. Wang Liang was indeed cultivated by him, but he was cut off by the people of the Universe Arena.
At this time, another girl said calmly: "Adults, it's better to talk about something. With so many of us gathered together, it's easy to be exposed..."
Zhou Haotian glanced at the girl who was speaking again, and instead of saying anything wrong about her, he said, "Aren't you about to enter the Tower of Babel?"
"I want you to kill someone for me inside..."
"Killing? Tower of Babel?"
Wang Liang frowned and said, "How can you kill people in a place like this?"
Zhou Haotian smiled and said: "It's very simple, use the rules to kill people..."
"The Tower of Babel, in addition to using a lot of energy, only needs to use the power of the earth law. I have a wooden talisman here. I need you to stick it to the back of that person after walking up to the 10,000 steps..."
"Tower of Babel, with every step you go up, there will be a force of earth that strengthens your body..."
"And wood overcomes earth. Wood can absorb the energy of the earth system. As long as it exceeds 10,000 layers, a person's body will contain a lot of earth system power in a short period of time. This wood system talisman can absorb the earth system energy in that person's body. Detonate together with the power... "
"The reason why I called you here is because your talents are the strongest. There should be no problem at level 10,000. So as long as you do it and let that person die, then the cause and effect between you and me will be the same. Completely finished!”
Everyone present looked at each other and were very moved by Zhou Haotian's proposal.
Finally, someone couldn't help it anymore and asked: "That person's name!"
"Du Gang!"
… …
The Tower of Babel is really a Tower of Babel, with a height of 18,000 kilometers and a diameter of 960 kilometers.
At this moment, under the Tower of Babel, the children of the four major companies who had learned the news were crowded.
This time, the Tower of Babel will be open for a total of one month, and every disciple can enter all the time.
The number of disciples of the four major companies in the galaxy has reached four to five million, and they are all gathered at various locations under the Tower of Babel.
Fortunately, the Tower of Babel is big enough and long enough. These four to five million people, even if they join hands and form a circle, cannot surround the tower.
At this moment, in addition to the Babel Tower, many platforms for people to stay have been built around it.
These platforms are at a certain distance from the Babel Tower, but they are not too far away.
Basically, for every tens of meters in height, there is a platform that surrounds the entire tower.
These platforms are used to catch those who have escaped from the tower.
In addition, there are countless extremely large screens placed on each platform.
This is specially used to record and publicize the information of tower breakers.
Before the start of the Universe Peak Talent Competition, use these tower rankings to stimulate the players who are about to participate.
Soon, Fan An, Ou Yun and four other cosmic powerhouses appeared out of thin air, suspended in four directions in the air, ensuring that people in each direction could see them.
"Everyone!"
As four people from four directions opened their mouths at the same time, the originally noisy crowd below all fell silent.
"The Babel Tower is a rare pagoda. Anyone who breaks into the Babel Tower will gain great rewards..."
"Anyone who breaks through a thousand levels will be rewarded with a source crystal..."
"Crossing the 10,000th floor, you will be rewarded with an Eternal Crystal..."
"Crossing the 50,000th floor will reward you with ten Eternal Crystals..."
"Crossing the 100,000th floor will reward you with 100 Eternal Crystals..."
The people below don't care much about the status of these rewards, because they are too far away.
Although no one has broken into the tower, they have carefully learned about the situations of those who have broken into the tower.
Five thousand years ago, the last generation of disciples who broke into the tower could only reach more than 40,000 floors, just shy of ten eternal crystals.
Others are even more unbearable. Not many of them have made it through a thousand floors...
"I believe you all have seen and know the specific situation of the Tower of Babel, so I won't go into details. Now, the Tower of Babel is officially open!"
After the four cosmic-level experts announced the opening, everyone moved and walked towards the tower immediately.
Fortunately, the base of the entire tower is spacious enough to accommodate everyone entering at the same time.
In less than three seconds, more than four million planet-level and star-level experts on the ground entered the Tower of Babel in an instant.
At the same time, the large screens on various platforms outside the tower began to flicker.
[Number of people on the first floor: 4565454]
[Number of people on the second floor: 231]
As time goes by, more and more people move towards higher levels.
At this time, Du Gang also entered the Babel Tower with everyone.
When he walked up the steps, there was a sudden force of gravity under his feet, and at the same time, there was a very weak force drilling into his body.
He understood that this was the power of the earth element strengthening his body. However, his body had already reached a terrifying level, and this kind of strengthening was really limited!
The steps here are very wide and thick, with each level reaching a height of fifty centimeters.
However, the steps in front are nothing to most people.
The crowd barely paused as they surged upwards, and within a short while, they left the bottom step.
Finally, when everyone reached the 100th floor, the group that was still on the same plane suddenly began to differentiate at this moment.
In the Tower of Babel, every hundred steps will double the pressure, which causes some weak people to experience a sudden drop in speed after reaching the one hundredth floor.
However, most people still ran towards higher places with vigorous steps.
Just like that, after a while, the large group separated again when they reached the 200th floor.
The speed of some people has slowed down, from the first echelon to the second echelon.
Then, there are the 300th and 400th steps. At these places, some people will fall behind.
When they reached the 500th floor, the people who originally occupied the majority slowed down.
The difficulty of Babel Tower not only increases every 100 steps, but also doubles the difficulty every 500 steps.
This time, only a handful of about 100,000 people were still insisting on running upward.
The 600th floor, the 700th floor, the 800th floor, every time these three hundred floors are crossed, at least 10,000 people will be left behind.
By the time the team reached the 900th floor, there were only over 50,000 people left.
At the same time, those who were originally on the lowest steps gradually couldn't hold on any longer and jumped out of the tower, landing on the nearest step.
This is the power of the Tower of Babel. Every time you ascend a step, the climber needs to use all his strength.
The Tower of Babel is also constantly functioning, crazily stimulating and consuming the power in the human body, and at the same time constantly replenishing a life force inside it.
Finally, when they reached the thousandth floor, the team that originally had 50,000 people suddenly dropped to only 5,000 people.
And of the remaining five thousand people, nearly half of them had slowed down.
There were only so many two thousand people, still maintaining the original speed and galloping upward.
"Bang bang bang!"
From time to time, some people would forcefully climb the steps, only to be swept away by gravity and land on the platforms.
Almost not long after, most of the more than four million people who originally entered the tower were kicked out of the Tower of Babel and fell onto the platform.
"Everyone who comes out of the tower, don't be discouraged. Take the time to recover and rush to the tower again..."
The people who fell out of the tower at this moment were recovering their strength while watching the situation on the big screen.
[Number of people on the 2000th floor: 1201 people]
"Oh my god, they're on the two thousandth floor!"
"Yeah, it's too scary. I won't be able to do it when I'm on the 200th floor..."
"People can't be compared with each other. You don't know that my legs are usually afraid of stepping on planets when I walk on them. But today, I was treated by the Tower of Babel..."
"Who knew there would be so many people insisting on it..."
As time went by, the people who were chatting and spanking gradually became silent.
Because the numbers on the screen have reached a point where they feel horrified.
[Number of people on the 5500th floor: 550 people]
"It's already over 5,000 floors, and there are still more than 500 people. Who are they?!"
At this moment, many people have the idea of whether we are climbing a tower on the ground.
We are the same people, why is the gap so big
They could no longer imagine how much pressure they would have to endure after more than five thousand floors.
But in fact, most of the more than 500 people above are star-level.
This time when entering the tower, the planetary level and the stellar level were entered together.
The four major companies sent in all the stellar disciples they had accumulated over the past hundred years.
But inside the tower, these star-level experts were shocked by one person.
"This guy is only planet-level, right?"
"Yeah, how could this guy keep keeping the same speed as us..."
Many star-level people were looking at Du Gang very strangely, and they didn't understand how a planet-level person could go with them.
Du Gang ignored these gossips and continued to move forward steadily.
As a fourth-level ancient god, although he is at the planetary level, his physical strength and power have long surpassed everyone present.
At this moment, the power coming from the steps could not restrict his footwork at all. Even the energy replenished to him, judging from his powerful body, the strength of the enhancement was really limited.
In this way, everyone continued to walk up with the idea of when the planet would fall.
Moreover, after crossing the six thousand steps, some stellar disciples could no longer bear it any longer.
But looking at Du Gang, whose pace was still vigorous and whose body was unresponsive, they all held on.
"Hold on, don't embarrass yourself in front of the planet!"
"That's right, we can't let others look down upon us!"
There are many people who insist on continuing to walk upward, but Babel Tower, I don't care about you, if you don't have enough strength, then get out.
Sure enough, not far away, the stellar power was finally exhausted, and with a "swish", it was ejected and fell on a platform.
At this moment, there was finally a star-level disciple who couldn't hold on any longer.
After the first star level was ejected, other star level experts seemed to have been opened by some kind of mechanism. One after another, people were being ejected. Although the frequency was not high, it was Very stable.
Finally, on the 8,000th floor, there were only more than 100 people left out of the original 500 people.
Among these people, except for the most powerful of more than a hundred stars, the only planet-level Du Gang is still on the list.
He was the same as before, with no sweat stains on his body and was still very relaxed.
"This guy… "
Looking at Du Gang, everyone present was speechless.
too strong!
It wasn't just them. At this moment, the big screen outside began to announce names when there were only about a hundred people left.
On each big screen, the top layer number, name and suffix are written.
Finally, someone saw Du Gang's name and exclaimed.
"Look, there is a planet-level guy here!!"
Everyone looked at it and were immediately startled.
[Floor 8588: Du Gang, named disciple.]
"Oh my god, registered disciple, he is planet level!"
No one can break the rules of the four major companies. A planet-level disciple must be a registered disciple, so Du Gang must be a planet-level disciple.
Everyone quickly checked and found out that among the remaining one hundred or so people, only Du Gang was at the planetary level, and the others were all outer disciples, which also meant that they were all at the stellar level.
"Incredible, who is this guy?"
"Yeah, I think I've never heard of it..."
Most people have never heard of Du Gang's name and don't know who he is.
But there are also a small number of people who have heard about Pang Shui and started to talk about it.
"This Du Gang is a registered disciple of the virtual universe. More than half a year ago, at the age of 17 and at the planet level, he killed Pang Shui, who had already reached the star level and understood the realm at that time!"
"What? Did he kill Pang Shui?"
Everyone who heard the news for the first time was shocked.
Pang Shuike is different from Du Gang. They are very dazzling existences in the star level.
In the entire galaxy, there are only three outer disciples of the Universe Arena Company who have understood the realm, and Pang Shui is one of them!
You know, even the other three major companies combined, there are no more than ten people who understand the field!
"Good guy, who is this Du Gang?"
"Could he be a child of some big family? The illegitimate son of several cosmic powerhouses?"
"That's nonsense. Let me tell you, this Du Gang is from the Ninth Star District!"
"What?!"
Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect Du Gang to come from the ninth star area.
"How could such a great genius appear in such a place?"
At this moment, someone shouted: "Look, they are going to the nine thousandth floor!"
Suddenly, everyone fell silent and looked at the big screen carefully.
[Floor 8998: 115 people]
[Floor 8999: 115 people]
Finally, when everyone was watching, these people reached the nine thousandth level.
[Level 9000: 60 people]
"Half the people are missing!"
"Oh my God, I was cut in half!"
At this time, someone reacted and quickly said: "Look and see if that Du Gang is still there!"
Instantly, many people quickly started looking for Du Gang's name.
"He's still here!"
Everyone was shocked and some were speechless.
It's so terrifying. Stellar-level experts are constantly being thrown out, but he is still inside!
In this way, under everyone's gaze, Du Gang walked step by step towards a higher place.
When the number of steps reached 9999, everyone held their breath again.
[Level 9999: 18 people]
Inside the Tower of Babel.
As they walked higher and higher, the people who were originally scattered were all gathered together.
The distance between Du Gang and other people is not that far away.
Everyone present walked up to the 10,000th floor in no particular order.
As soon as they went up, four or five people were immediately thrown out of the tower by the force.
Seeing their situation, Du Gang didn't care and continued walking up.
Just when Du Gang stepped onto the 10,000th floor, suddenly, a man and a woman who were not far from him quickly approached him while others were not paying attention.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
Two crisp sounds and two charms were immediately slapped on Du Gang's back.
"what?"
Du Gang only felt an inexplicable force suddenly enter from behind, and then the originally very docile earth power under his feet kept pouring into his body.
This sudden force almost made him fall. Fortunately, he stabilized himself in time, sat down on the ground, and started meditating on the spot.
When the others saw this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
They were also worried that this star-level guy would follow them, but fortunately, he finally couldn't hold on any longer.
In this way, of the remaining seventeen people, six fell out on the 10,000th floor, leaving only eleven people.
When these people stepped onto the 10,001th floor, they all involuntarily looked at Du Gang, who was sitting cross-legged on the 10,000th floor.
"That's enough. Ten thousand floors is already a big deal. If you can't hold it any longer, just get out!"
"Yeah, brother, keep your spirits up and come again next time!"
Everyone said a few words of comfort and continued walking towards higher steps.
The man and woman looked at Du Gang sitting cross-legged, sneered, and followed him.
At this moment, Du Gang didn't care too much.
The moment he stepped onto the 10,000th step, two forces suddenly appeared in his body. One was behind him and was wood-based.
The other one came from the steps at my feet, and it was from the earth element.
The power of the wood element was actually not that powerful. He only needed to shake his shoulders to shake it off, but he did not do so.
Because, he discovered that the two pieces of wood power on his back seemed to have the ability to ridicule, mobilizing all the originally weak earth power and pouring into his body crazily.
As for these earth-type powers, Du Gang did not let them meet the wood-type powers, but intercepted them halfway!
He absorbed all the earth power under his feet into his body.
You know, these earth-based powers have been filled in by the four major companies at the expense of countless resources.
This inhalation immediately made Du Gang feel extremely comfortable.
At the same time, everyone in the outside world started talking.
[Level 10,000: 1 person, Du Gang, a registered disciple!]
[Level 10456: 11 people...]
"I didn't expect that this guy couldn't hold on in the end!"
"Yes, the 10,000th floor is enough, but he hasn't come out yet. Is he trying to hold on?"
Regarding Du Gang's situation, everyone can actually guess that his strength must be close to exhaustion and he is almost unable to hold on, but he is still struggling to hold on.
"I guess he will come out in a minute at most!"
"A minute? I guess thirty seconds..."
In this way, amidst everyone's discussion, time passed bit by bit.
Thirty seconds passed and Du Gang didn't come out.
A minute passed, and Du Gang still didn't come out!
"What is this guy doing? What's the use of holding on for so long?"
"Yes, everyone else has already reached the 10,500th floor, and he is still on the 10,000th floor. What is he doing here?"
"I guess he will definitely come out in two minutes at most..."
Just like this, time passed by in a hurry amidst everyone's confusion and slaps.
An hour later, everyone was already numb to the 10,000-level Du Gang.
But at this moment, someone said in shock: "He moved!"
"What?"
Everyone immediately turned their attention again and retreated from the 12,000-plus floors to the 10,000 floors.
Sure enough, Du Gang, who originally stopped at the 10,000th floor, advanced one level and now reached the 10,00th floor.
"Has his strength returned?"
Everyone was amazed.
Just when everyone thought Du Gang was going to move forward crazily, he stopped at the 10,001st level.
“…”
"Does he want to spend the winter in there?"
… …
Inside the Tower of Babel.
Du Gang didn't care what others thought. He moved from the 10,000th floor to the 10,001st floor not because he wanted to continue climbing the stairs.
It's because the earth power on the 10,000th floor was sucked dry by him...
"Good guy, one layer of earth energy seems to be equivalent to the energy of a thousand source crystals..."
Du Gang had a hunch that by absorbing up to ten layers, he would be able to increase the energy equivalent to an Eternal Crystal.
"In other words, if I absorb the energy of one hundred thousand steps, it is equivalent to absorbing ten thousand constant crystals. Does it mean that I can break through to the stellar level?"
Thinking of this, Du Gang immediately sat down cross-legged on the 1001st floor and absorbed it.
To the person who put two talismans on his back, he just wanted to say:
"I don't know who you are, but thank you!"
Thanks to Mr. Li who loves eating meat for the reward of 100 starting coins, thank you!
