Hehe, that wouldn't be right. I'm just a little crow; what status could I possibly have?\" The seven-colored crow was being modest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu really hoped a text prompt would appear to analyze this crow, but that was clearly impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crow spoke again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you decide to take someone away, then from that point on, you will end up on a bizarre path.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This path will force you to detour through the Middle Spirit Zone and the Lower Spirit Zone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The structure of the Lower Spirit Zone is quite complex. Between the Lower Spirit Zone and the Upper Spirit Zone lies the Middle Spirit Zone. The upper and lower are for good and evil, while the middle is for all living things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"According to tradition, that is the place where animals stay, known as the Path of Beasts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There, animals with spirituality can be reincarnated as humans. But they must also go to the Lower Spirit Zone to suffer torment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for the Lower Spirit Zone, it has the Eighteen Levels of Hell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Imagine this: you want to take a spirit body, cross the Path of Beasts, and then pass through the Eighteen Levels of Hell without being discovered. Is that even possible?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's more, we have been keeping an eye on you for a long time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu thought to himself that this was truly sinister. But since this was already the underworld, being a bit sinister didn't seem to matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I pass through the Eighteen Levels of Hell, can I reach the Gate of the Underworld? That land of nothingness?\" Wen Xishu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seven-colored crow shook its head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not even close.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Underworld is vast. Excluding the Upper, Middle, and Lower Spirit Zones, there is still the Ghost Gate Pass. There are many guards there; without clearance documents, it is impossible for you to pass.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After passing the Ghost Gate Pass, there is the Road to the Yellow Springs, composed of many spirits who have been tortured to the point of giving up on reincarnation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After walking the Road to the Yellow Springs, you will head to the Hall of Lost Souls. The Hall of Lost Souls makes all spirit bodies lose all their memories, similar to... what you call the Naihe Bridge and Meng Po's soup.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After losing their memories, if they meet the delivery standards, they will be arranged to go to the world of the living, but that isn't resurrection either. You should know that is called—reincarnation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu felt his back go numb; the structure of the underworld was too complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seven-colored crow said again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, you cooperated with our work, and in the end, you didn't do it. Under the infiltration of the obsession rules of the Obsession World, you chose to respect the rules of the Underworld. That is very good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The great Brother Crow has decided to give you some help, allowing you to return directly to the Gate of the Underworld.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had wasted quite a bit of time just at the gate, ending up half-dead before he even entered this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But entering is easy, returning is hard... the Upper Spirit Zone alone contains countless planes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the Middle and Lower Spirit Zones, and the Lower Spirit Zone still has the Eighteen Levels of Hell to pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A demon king at the level of the Red House would die there just like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should I go back now?\" Wen Xishu said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crow nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, if you have any other questions, you can ask me. This is the second-to-last help the great Brother Crow will give you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu wanted to ask what the last help would be, but then he thought, wouldn't that waste a question?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't ask that question. After some thought, Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do have one question. In the Desire Tower, I traveled through time and changed the fate of some people... Doesn't that count as changing life and death?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seven-colored crow laughed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, there are several types of returning from the dead. For example, you came from the Sinful Soil. That is one kind of returning from the dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is another kind called time travel. But this involves the multiverse. For example, you went back to the past and changed someone's death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then the universe where that person died is not the same as the universe where that person did not die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then there is the third kind: the quantum life and death of the Obsession World.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Obsession World is a special world, also known as the Trick Tower in your words. This place... can even invade the Underworld.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But it can also be considered to have reached a stable state of cooperation with the Underworld.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seven-colored crow waved its wings, and a forbidden book appeared before him. Of course—he could not flip through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seven-colored crow flipped through it itself:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For example, in the Three Towers World, a guy named Horn; his death was supposedly fated, but because of your participation, Horn did not die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But death in the Obsession World is called 'reserve death'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Simply put, as long as the possibility still exists for you to change your obsession and return to the Desire Tower to save the other party, as long as the completion rate is not higher than level six...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then the other party will not truly die in the real sense. Although he died, his spirit body is here with us, in a state that can be 'paroled' at any time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once someone changes the future in the Desire Tower and it involves his fate, we will cross him off the death register.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sounds like you really did interfere with life and death, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seven-colored crow said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, this involves the issue of active versus passive. What we actively send back is actually not a problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because for us, as long as it is something we actively send back, even if he didn't die at this time node, he can still die at another node.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if the way you saved Horn was not by changing Horn's quantum life-death state through the Desire Tower, but by coming to the underworld and kidnapping Horn, tsk tsk tsk tsk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu pressed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What does that mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seven-colored crow said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That means—Horn's rebirth did not follow the formal procedures of the Underworld. Horn would become one of the Undead. An eternal existence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We would still judge Horn as dead. In the Underworld, a spirit body can die again, which is annihilation. But in the world of the living, once he has a physical body... he would become an immortal, undying being.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This kind of problem has happened before. To solve it, only the world of the living could solve it themselves, and that took a hell of a lot of effort. The doomsday crisis it caused was no smaller than what you are experiencing now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, this possibility no longer exists now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seven-colored crow said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, I wouldn't dare to guarantee it. Look, didn't the Obsession World still infiltrate the Underworld? Of course, we already have a direction for fixing the bug.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In fact, that you were able to come here and that you were able to harm spirit bodies... seems to have nothing to do with the Obsession World. You have another kind of power. But it doesn't matter; next time you won't be able to enter the Gate of the Underworld.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm done asking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seven-colored crow said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I like your decisiveness. I will take care of the Wen family. But as for your parents, they went to the Lower Spirit Zone. Presumably, they don't need me to take care of them, right? You filial son.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu knew that the parents the seven-colored crow spoke of were his parents from his previous life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They don't need care; I have always been filial.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seven-colored crow let out a \"tsk tsk tsk\" laugh again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next, you will return to outside the Gate of the Underworld. Once you reach the Gate of the Underworld, you can return to the world you belong to by using the method of reaching the Gate of the Underworld.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seven-colored crow suddenly tilted its head and bit off a feather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu had already seen the seven-colored feather; it could be considered an Underworld amulet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the function of this feather was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Obsession World invades us, and we will also invade the Obsession World, so they understand the price of disturbing the dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This feather is for your next journey; your next journey will be very interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu accepted the feather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the name of this feather could not be displayed, so Wen Xishu still didn't know how awesome it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seven-colored crow said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm a bit tired; I have to go play games with the real dead. Goodbye.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things suddenly became efficient. Wen Xishu only heard the word \"goodbye,\" and before he could respond...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found the surrounding scene changing. His body instantly turned into a mass of Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is unknown how much time passed before Wen Xishu opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surroundings were pitch black again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under his feet was the Gate of the Underworld.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had returned to this land of nothingness again. And in Wen Xishu's hand, there was an extra feather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faint luster emitted by the feather made the surrounding darkness less absolute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu thought to himself:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"On this journey, I was still too cowardly. Although according to the seven-colored crow, it is very difficult to take away the dead... but it seems there really was a slight possibility.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, Wen Xishu was actually still very scared; he had at least not tried to take anyone away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Knowing that Mr. Jin is not dead and seeing my family... this journey can be considered meaningful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just don't know what the harvest is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu really wanted to know what level of item this seven-colored feather was, and whether it was better than Ding Dong's phoenix feather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately followed the seven-colored crow's words and activated the login device.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The familiar door and clock, the familiar three-headed person, and the innovative laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ehehehehehehehe...\" The Guide's laughter gave Wen Xishu the feeling of Kayako appearing in *Ju-On*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Ghost Head said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What an enviable journey. Without too much risk, the Seven-Colored Flower only bloomed its first petal, and you returned safe and sound. You even obtained a treasure of immense value.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next, you must make good use of your treasure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu discovered that his interface had not changed at all. His Ghost Tower level was still 43.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sequence had not changed, nor had his runes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Tower Power value had been consumed by eight points to enter the Underworld, leaving only seven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu continued to look down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, before he could help but say, \"Damn, this was a huge loss,\" he saw that something new had appeared in his inventory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Item Name: [Death Planner]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Item Grade: Orange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Item Usage Interval: Extremely long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Item Description: A gift from the Ruler of the Underworld. After the World of Obsession invaded the World of the Dead, the Ruler of the Underworld immediately attempted to repair it. Now that it has completed the repairs, but since courtesy demands reciprocity, it will respond to the invasion with an invasion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The holder of this feather can fix the feather onto any pen and use the pen to write down the names of certain people in your next Ghost Tower journey. You will personally set the method of death for everyone whose name you write down during your journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And you must ensure that you provide at least seven names of people who are about to die. To ensure you can know their names, the feather will provide the ability to see people's names.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Note: Takes effect immediately upon holding the item. If nothing is written, it is considered as forfeiting this item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first glance, Wen Xishu did not understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the Guide:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You had better tell me this thing is worth eight points of Tower Power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, not only the Black Ghost Head, but the Red Slaughter Head and the White Desire Head all felt that Wen Xishu had made a huge profit:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have obtained the power to rewrite the script once. On your next tower-climbing journey, you are the Grim Reaper himself. Ehehehehe. I must say, the Underworld King really has the style of an Underworld King~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But correspondingly, to use this feather, you need to arrange for at least seven people to die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is not excluded that you might be able to use this feather a second time long from now, but by then, the death toll will certainly be higher.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ehehe, this feather is truly too precious, so much so that you cannot receive other rewards this time. By rights, you should have had a reward for winning the competition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he understood what a \"surprise\" was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Scorpion Knife is strong, right? But it only adds some rules. Whether it can defeat enemies at higher levels remains an unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dice of Reversal is undoubtedly an existence that can change rules, but it does not have the ability to directly erase enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this feather allows him to directly set how others die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, after entering the Ghost Tower, he can decide how anyone he meets dies, as long as he knows their name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most shameless part is...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He can even see the other party's name directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu felt this was a bit too heaven-defying. This was indeed the revenge of the Lord of Death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not expect that crow to actually be the Ruler of the Underworld.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But correspondingly, he also realized the special nature of the Ghost Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eerie content within the Ghost Tower had already affected the Underworld. This was what caused the Lord of the Underworld to have to repair certain things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One can imagine that at higher levels, there are still many things the Ghost Tower can affect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The benefits of climbing the tower are certainly not few, and the risks are certainly not small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu looked at the feather...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's a pity its usage interval is very long, which means after I use it in the next tower climb, I don't know how long I'll have to wait to use it again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A truly terrifying item, but limited to climbing the Ghost Tower.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The item description explicitly stated it was for a Ghost Tower journey. If it could be used on a Slaughter Tower journey, Wen Xishu felt he could slaughter his way through the Slaughter Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And it activates automatically. That means I have to use it the next time I climb the tower. If I don't use it, it's considered forfeited.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu really hoped such a powerful item could be saved for use at higher levels, rather than at level forty-something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But all in all, he had indeed profited, and profited big. Eight points of Tower Power could not buy the power to slaughter at will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And since the Dice of Reversal can change levels, it's not impossible for me to head to a higher level next time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, all of this depends on luck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xishu did not plan to use the \"Three Highs\" lightly, but if he had an item that could allow him to slaughter at will at a high level, using it would not be out of the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thing doesn't just kill the opponent; it even determines the method of death. Isn't this just a Death Note? It's even more convenient than a Death Note; simply put, it could be called a Death Quill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, he could write to death all the monsters within his line of sight in the next Ghost Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn't this much better than those timid, hesitant authors who are afraid to write this one to death or that one to a box lunch?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this pen had appeared sooner... the Ark would already belong to Huo En.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever Feng Nuoyiman, whatever General Lei Nuo, whatever Captain—one stroke and they're dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long sigh, Wen Xishu couldn't wait to start his next journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for now, he still had to return to the bunker and talk to the old principal about what he encountered in the Ghost Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come to think of it... is the bunker still holding a funeral for Liu Zhizai and Mr. Jin because of his dream-sending?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wonder if Xiao Jin has been found yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2811,"2026-06-20T04:46:43.057Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","8ea867a21cc93ce85b08168066fef58887ccb8687c8143f895f517d700e5196d","the-three-towers-game-chapter-268","the-three-towers-game-chapter-266",281,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-three-towers-game-cover.jpg"]
