Chapter 263

Therefore, even if Lu Li had reached the limit of the King Realm, the Nine-Star King, he was still just a King.

If he couldn't even see through Lu Li's level, then his North Domain Lord status would have quite a bit of moisture mixed in.

But it was such a Nine-Star King who, after the Supreme, successfully conquered the 100th floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, which even they, these Immortals and Undyings, couldn't conquer back then.

Not only Gongshu Zhengqing, but Li Wei and Hearing Tan Huan, who were one step behind the other party, also saw Lu Li's level now.

Breaking through the 100th floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower with the strength of the King Realm, the gold content of this was much more sufficient than Ku Zimo rushing to the 90th floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower!

Or rather, the gold content of Lu Li conquering the 100th floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower far exceeded Ku Zimo's, and there was no comparability between the two.

If one had to compare the two, it would undoubtedly be gilding Ku Zimo's face. On this point, even Li Wei or Hearing Tan Huan had no way to refute.

Originally, whether it was Li Wei or Hearing Tan Huan, they had secretly guessed before this whether Lu Li, like Ku Zimo, had successfully conquered the 100th floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower by exploiting a loophole in the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

Although this loophole regarding the Heaven-Reaching Tower hadn't leaked outside the North Domain, it didn't mean that Magic Card Masters outside the North Domain couldn't do it.

Maybe, there just happened to be a Magic Card Master who entered the Heaven-Reaching Tower who met this loophole and used it?

And this was also the guess they both thought was closest to reality.

But even so, it still showed that Lu Li's strength was stronger than Ku Zimo's.

After all, both were exploiting the loophole of the Heaven-Reaching Tower; Lu Li could conquer the 100th floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, but Ku Zimo could only stop at the 90th floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

But now, the facts didn't seem to be as they guessed, but rather even more outrageous than they thought.

Lu Li was still in the King Realm, even if he was a Nine-Star King, he was still a King.

In other words, Lu Li didn't exploit the loophole of the Heaven-Reaching Tower; he conquered the 100th floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower in a normal state.

493. This scene, so familiar!

Even if Li Wei and Hearing Tan Huan racked their brains, they couldn't think that Lu Li actually didn't exploit the loophole of the Heaven-Reaching Tower!

They couldn't understand how Lu Li conquered the 100th floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower under such circumstances. Because if it were them, they wouldn't have been able to do this step back then either.

And such a result further widened the gap between Lu Li and Ku Zimo.

Thinking of Ku Zimo's performance not long ago, these two Frost Capital City Lords and the president of the Frost Capital Magic Card Association couldn't help but have their complexions become complicated.

After all, although Ku Zimo rushed to the 90th floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, he actually exploited the loophole of the Heaven-Reaching Tower through a clever way of temporary breakthrough to be able to do this step.

If Ku Zimo hadn't successfully broken through to the Emperor Realm in the Heaven-Reaching Tower, then with his original King Realm strength, Ku Zimo might not have been able to go so far.

In general, Ku Zimo's talent was probably equivalent to Li Wei and Hearing Tan Huan, not even comparable to Gongshu Zhengqing, the North Domain Lord, and there was no comparability with Lu Li at all.

Just from this point, the gap between Ku Zimo and Lu Li was much larger than imagined.

Ku Zimo wanting to catch up to Lu Li and smooth out the gap between the two, the chance was probably very slim.

At this moment, whether it was Li Wei or Hearing Tan Huan, such a thought flashed in their hearts, and at the same time, they couldn't help but become depressed again.

Such a genius actually wasn't a Magic Card Master from their North Domain. It was really cheap for the East Domain. How could all the good things be occupied by this East Domain!

And compared to the depression of Li Wei and Hearing Tan Huan, Gongshu Zhengqing had thought too much.

When the Supreme sought him out back then, he not only instructed Gongshu Zhengqing but also provided some information to Gongshu Zhengqing.

One of them was that back then, the Supreme conquered the 100th floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower as an Emperor!

Emperor and King, although they were only a difference of one realm, in fact, only when reaching this point would one understand that the means an Emperor could use were more complex and numerous than a King.

Even if the test of the Heaven-Reaching Tower changed according to the strength of the tower challenger when entering, the gap between 30% combat power and 60% combat power was obvious.

Even for some special Magic Card Spirits, this 30% combat power gap was a chasm.

It was possible that this 30% gap was enough to divide a Magic Card into two extremes.

And such a gap would also be synchronously fed back to the Magic Card Master who synchronized with the source of the Magic Card Spirit.

Perhaps it was this gap that finally allowed the Magic Card Master to successfully climb a few more floors in the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

Since the Heaven-Reaching Tower opened for so many sessions, this was also a universal phenomenon. Magic Card Masters with Emperor Realm strength could always conquer more floors of the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

Of course, there were no exceptions. There would always be a few special Magic Card Masters, for example, this time, Lu Li was an exception.

With the strength of the King Realm, under more unfavorable conditions for himself, he completed the same feat as the Supreme back then. The deep meaning in this was very thought-provoking.

"I don't know what the 'straight to the point' that Domain Lord Gongshu mentioned means?" Not knowing the thoughts in the hearts of the three, Gongshu Zhengqing, Lu Li was relatively concerned about the 'straight to the point' in the other party's mouth.

For Gongshu Zhengqing, this Domain Lord who guarded one side of the Ancient Kingdom, Lu Li was still full of respect, but he didn't appear too humble.

No matter what, his teacher, Night Queen Yue Nishang, was a big shot at the same level as Gongshu Zhengqing.

In the Four Major Academy Exchange Tournament that hadn't passed too long ago, Lu Li had also seen the Supreme, Tai Yin You Ying, who was stronger than Gongshu Zhengqing and the Night Queen.

Even facing a powerhouse at the level of the Supreme, he also performed neither humble nor arrogant.

Moreover, now in his own Eternal Land, there were two heavyweight figures at the World Will level.

Having chatted and laughed with so many top big shots, and even had close-distance contact, Lu Li naturally wouldn't become restrained because of Gongshu Zhengqing's Domain Lord status.

And such a performance also made Gongshu Zhengqing and the other two nod secretly. Strength was one aspect, and character was also indispensable for a Magic Card Master.

Sure enough, he was a Magic Card Master who conquered the 100th floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower. Just this bearing was not something an ordinary Magic Card Master could do.

They had also seen different Magic Card Masters, young ones and old ones, but unfortunately, in front of them, these people still couldn't let go.

Their identities gave these ordinary Magic Card Masters too much pressure.

"No rush!" Facing Lu Li's doubt, Gongshu Zhengqing waved his hand, then said to Li Wei and Hearing Tan Huan: "You two leave first. I want to talk to Lu Li alone about the next things."

Gongshu Zhengqing's next performance was a bit unexpected, and it also made Li Wei and Hearing Tan Huan feel puzzled.

They had originally planned to see if they could get some relevant intelligence about the 100th floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower from the conversation between Gongshu Zhengqing and Lu Li.

Or, other intelligence would also be fine, at least not like now, being completely in the dark.

It's just that they didn't expect that this old fox, Gongshu Zhengqing, had even considered this point and directly cut off their thoughts.

Clearly, it was their Frost Capital that released the quota for the Titan Sanctuary, but now the one who conquered the 100th floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower wasn't a Magic Card Master from their Frost Capital, or even a Magic Card Master from the North Domain.

And Gongshu Zhengqing, who knew the secrets of the 100th floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, issued an eviction order to them. This Titan Temple still belonged to their Frost Capital. Is there any reason left?!

The resentment on their faces was almost overflowing. How could they bully the two Immortals like this!

It's a pity that facing the resentful gazes of his subordinates, Gongshu Zhengqing directly ignored them. After all, the things he and Lu Li were going to talk about next were not suitable for others to hear, especially with the Supreme's instructions.

"Understood, Domain Lord," seeing this, no matter how many complaints Li Wei and Hearing Tan Huan had in their hearts, they had no way to refuse Gongshu Zhengqing's decision.

Who let Gongshu Zhengqing be the North Domain Lord and their direct superior? The other party's strength was just stronger than theirs!

Subordinates shouldn't talk back to their superiors. Li Wei and Hearing Tan Huan still understood this sentence. Especially now that there were outsiders present, no matter what, they had to give Gongshu Zhengqing face.

494. A dead end

"Xueyi, you also leave with City Lord Hearing Tan Huan and President Li Wei first," seeing this, Lu Li also patted Su Xueyi on the shoulder, letting the girl leave with the two Immortals for a while.

The content of Gongshu Zhengqing's conversation with him next would likely involve some secrets, and the importance of these secrets was such that even big shots like Li Wei and Hearing Tan Huan, these two Immortals, were not qualified to come into contact with them.

Otherwise, Gongshu Zhengqing wouldn't have made such a request just now, and even Li Wei and Hearing Tan Huan were called away by him.

In this situation, Su Xueyi naturally didn't have the qualifications to continue staying here either.

Even, if it weren't for his own sake, Su Xueyi probably wouldn't even have the qualifications to continue staying in the Titan Temple, let alone wait for him to come out.

"Mm, I'll listen to you," Su Xueyi nodded. She naturally understood this point. Moreover, even if she stayed here, it wouldn't be of any use.

To put it bluntly, if Gongshu Zhengqing really wanted to take action against Lu Li, she would instead become a burden to the other party.

Of course, Su Xueyi felt that this wouldn't happen. After all, she had just been in contact with the other party.

Although Gongshu Zhengqing gave people a feeling of being a 'goldfish man' (lecher), he was the North Domain Lord after all. Whether in status, position, or strength, he wouldn't do things that suppress young people.

If Gongshu Zhengqing knew Su Xueyi's thoughts, he would definitely be so angry that he would vomit blood. He didn't expect that as a Domain Lord, he would be viewed like this. It's just...!

Leaving only one sentence, Su Xueyi silently left with Li Wei and Hearing Tan Huan first, leaving space for the two.

"Alright, we should also talk about the main business now," seeing that only the two of them were left in the Titan Sanctuary, the smile on Gongshu Zhengqing's face also slowly dissipated, and his complexion gradually became grave: "Lu Li, successfully conquering the 100th floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, you should already know the truth about the world being destroyed."

"Although this may not be the final ending of all worlds, and perhaps not all destroyed worlds were because of the invasion of extraterrestrial beasts."

"But there is no doubt that the existence of extraterrestrial beasts will bring terrifying disasters to the world."

All along, the reason announced by the Ancient Kingdom for why various worlds were destroyed and the split world fragments became attached to the Magic Card civilization, experiencing the passage of time, and finally becoming dimensional planes, was unknown.

But in fact, it was not the case. At the very least, for the high echelons of the Ancient Kingdom, they knew more.

A long time ago, the high echelons of the Ancient Kingdom already knew that the root cause of the destruction of different worlds was with a high probability because they were threatened and attacked by extraterrestrial beasts, and were attacked by existences at the level of Star Eaters!

Those with better luck, similar to the Titan home planet and the Elf civilization, after the world collapsed, the World Pillar and World Will escaped the crisis of being destroyed. As the world fragments fell and attached to the Magic Card civilization, they finally experienced a long time and evolved into dimensional planes.

Celestin and Tiamat were the best examples.

And those with worse luck were that the World Pillar suffered a devastating blow and fell apart. Even if a part fell to the Magic Card civilization along with the collapsing world fragments and even evolved into dimensional planes, they also lost the vast majority of their abilities.

The Eternal Night plane explored by the three cities of the East Domain, the high-level mechanical civilization it belonged to; and the dimensional plane about to be destroyed located at the junction of the West Domain and the South Domain, the Spirit Realm it belonged to, were typical examples.

But the most common ones were that the World Pillar and World Will were destroyed along with the collapse of the world. Finally, everything returned to the void, became a space seed, was discovered in some corner outside the domain, or was swallowed by extraterrestrial beasts.
