Three Towers Game

Chapter 345 Ascension to God
The bunker, three days ago.

The disappearance of Wen Xishu's name from the leaderboard caused panic among many people.

The elders quickly learned of this matter.

Luo Feng was also considering something: what would happen to Albert if Wen Xishu died?
He didn't think Albert would be discouraged by this, even though it was a hard-won companion.

But Albert will only become more insane after losing such a partner.

Be more proactive in climbing the tower.

In this way, Albert will likely return control of the bunker to the five elders.

What Luo Feng cared about was power, of course. And it wasn't just Luo Feng; William Gordon and Matthew Jones were all keen on controlling the bunker.

However, thinking of this, Luo Feng still felt a little ashamed of himself.

Unlike in the past, without realizing it, he had already accepted it—

Wenxi Tree is a figure worthy of attention, just like Albert.

If such a person were to die, it would indeed be a loss for the bunker.

……

……

The elders were indeed composed; although they had begun to imagine certain things, compared to the wildly fluctuating emotions of the common people at the bottom...

The elders chose to wait and see, without revealing any... inclination.

However, the various families under the elders had different reactions.

The entire Miyamoto family was praying, and Miyamoto Yoshiki even made a big fuss at the Three Towers Academy: Your Dean Wen is dead. He was just a piece of trash who couldn't even last more than fifty floors.

William Hawkner was frantic with worry. After all... his entire business depended on Wen Xishu.

Without Wen Xishu, all his efforts would have been in vain.

Of course, the Xi Shu Cult can be said to have turned the tide. After Wen Xi Shu's name was erased, Wen Xiange relied on his own abilities to make everyone believe that Wen Xi Shu would surely make a triumphant return.

Never question the leader. Even if the Three Towers ladder rankings malfunction, the leader will be fine.

Wen Xiange appeared very confident, but when he was alone, he couldn't help but feel worried.

two days ago.

The inhabitants of the bunker had long been accustomed to Wenxi Tree being able to climb the tower and return on the same day.

Such miracles were performed just a few days ago.

But now, Wen Xishu has not returned for two days, and his name has disappeared from the Heavenly Ladder Ranking for two days.

The thought of Wen Xishu already sacrificing himself in the Ghost Tower only amplified the fear.

Even if Wen Xiange intervened, it wouldn't work.

"The sect leader must be dead, right? Don't lie to me, Venerable One! The sect leader is dead!"

"The sky has fallen! The bunker has no future!"

"He hasn't been back for two days! He hasn't been back for two days!"

The followers of the Yuuki Cult are facing a mental breakdown.

At the Three Towers Academy, the students of the Ghost Tower Academy were also mocked by the students of the Desire Tower Academy.

"Without Dean Wen, these people who climb the Tower of Ghosts probably won't be on equal footing with us anymore, right?"

As is well known, under the influence of William Hawkner, the students of the Tower of Desire enjoy a noble treatment that surpasses that of the Tower of Lust.

William Hawkner clearly saw the situation: with the combined efforts of Wen Xishu and the old principal, the future status of the Ghost Tower and the Tower of Slaughter would be higher than that of the Tower of Desire.

But now...

He was also somewhat confused. If it weren't for Wenxi Tree, would the public's enthusiasm for climbing the Ghost Tower still be so high?

one day ago.

Wen Xiange didn't sleep all night.

“I am the Venerable One, the Venerable One of the Xishu Divine Cult. If I don’t even believe in the Cult Leader, how can the followers believe in me?”

He repeated the sentence hundreds of times, and finally, his eyes lit up. He washed his face with cold water to suppress his fatigue.

He adopted his usual fervent expression.

Wen Xiange looked at her face in the mirror:
"The leader cannot die, and there is no such thing as death for the leader. The leader can only ascend and become a saint!"

"Wen Xiange, there must be someone in your life for whom you would risk everything!"

"Now! Now!"

There's a saying that life's major choices all involve a bit of gambling.

The most fanatical follower of the Evening Tree Cult, this Venerable One, has now decided to gamble everything.

He spoke with unwavering conviction, and then changed into the divine robes he rarely wore and donned a tall crown.

Faced with the collapse of public sentiment, Wen Xiange went to the second level of the bunker, the top floor of the Level 6 hospital that Wen Xishu had brought.

He held a megaphone and shouted:

"The leader is not dead! The leader will surely return! I have received a revelation!"

"The leader is about to bring us another round of improvement for all people!"

"Gentlemen, cheer! Cheer up! Put away your gloomy faces, what do you think you're doubting?"

"The bunker will live on! The leader will live on! If the leader dies, I am willing to follow him! But the leader will not die! Perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, the leader will surely return!"

"Otherwise, I'll jump off here!"

"All followers of the Sunset Tree Cult, look at me! Believe me! The Cult Leader will soon return to the bunker with generous rewards, rewards that will shatter our understanding of the world!"

Wen Xiange, whose talent for pyramid schemes is off the charts, used a desperate measure to convince everyone that Wen Xishu was still alive.

He did indeed succeed, because the public's mood actually went from low to high because of his gamble with his life!
If the cult leader hadn't died, he could still have remained hidden on the Heavenly Ladder Ranking...

Doesn't that mean the leader has already transcended the Heavenly Ladder Ranking?

The Venerable One may have been deceiving us before, but now that he has risked his life, how could it be fake?
People tend to believe that those who enjoy a comfortable life are unlikely to act irrationally like them.

Wen Xiange could be said to have single-handedly subdued most of the bunker's residents.

But the elders who learned of this news were in a dilemma.

The Venerable Wen Xian Ge of the Xi Shu Cult is still too evil.

This cult-like approach can indeed stabilize emotions, but it can also lead to a greater and more extreme collapse when the lies are exposed.

The elders didn't actually want Wenxi Tree to die, but they had already prepared for the possibility that Wenxi Tree might die.

After all, there are only two reasons for them to hide their rankings.

Wen Xishu's reason couldn't be the same as theirs.

……

……

Wen Xishu returned on the day.

Wen Xiange sat on the top of the hospital on the second floor of the bunker for a day and a night.

The followers of the Yuuki Cult also stayed outside the hospital for a day and a night.

All emotions cool down, and all fanaticism fades away.

When people expect God to descend, but God never comes... the disappointment in their hearts will only be returned many times over.

Some people have already started shouting and cursing, and many of these people are from the six major families.

Many of them also came from the former "nobles" of the Desire Tower.

They hid among the crowd, using music and songs to soothe emotions, and thus their emotions crumbled.

This is like a war.

One side firmly believes that the cult leader is synonymous with miracles and cannot be fathomed by common sense.

One side firmly believes that nothing in this world is unusual, and rules are rules.

Wen Xishu's death will inevitably lead to the interruption of the Ghost Tower Revolution.

Even someone as strong as Wen Xishu can die, so is there really any future in climbing the Tower of Ghosts?
Such rhetoric has begun to emerge.

A small number of people who crave pleasure only wish for the tower to return to its previous position.

I only hope that the Tower of Horrors will remain a choice for prisoners and the poor.

These people dared not show their faces when Wen Xishu was powerful, but after Wen Xishu died, they immediately began to launch a "restoration".

The bunker was filled with fear and unease.

At the Three Towers Academy, the auction that had been painstakingly organized seemed destined to be interrupted due to Dean Wen's death.

Many students in the academy felt it was a great pity for Dean Wen. Students from both the Luta Academy and the Guita Academy knew very well that the rising status of climbers in the Luta and Guita Academies was largely due to Wen Xishu.

But now... they are also afraid that everything will go back to square one.

At this moment, the Miyamoto family finally couldn't hold back any longer.

Inside the Miyamoto family's attic, the head of the family was entertaining guests.

"Only by helping the people accept reality sooner can the bunker be restored as soon as possible; this is the way of benevolence!"

"Wen Xishu is an illusion; everything he did could never be replicated. Shattering the people's illusions and making them realize their mistakes is the right thing to do!"

"Many of the poor at the bottom have already crossed social classes by climbing the Tower of Ghosts. They were originally the filthy people at the bottom, and their existence has led to the collapse of morality. Let them go back to the bottom, that is the proper way."

"The old order has been running for decades, but it has changed because of the existence of the Wenxi Tree, leading to the current deformity. Correcting mistakes and rectifying errors is wisdom!"

"We owe our present status to Lord Liu Zhizai, but because of that duel, we have become a laughingstock. Now that Wen Xishu is dead, we should find a way to return to our original position. This is our promise to Lord Liu Zhizai! This is our commitment!"

"Gentlemen! Let's begin. I believe many bunker nobles are willing to stand on our side. From now on, we should spread the word widely and shatter everyone's illusions about Wenxi Tree!"

The virtues of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness enabled Yoshiki Miyamoto to stand tall.

He felt a sense of triumph, as if he was finally about to achieve his goal.

At this time, the Miyamoto family also had many "guests," who also longed for everything to return to how it was before.

Let us raise a toast to benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness!

The head of the Miyamoto family raised his wine glass.

Everyone raised their glasses, their faces beaming with joy.

But in that very instant...

As the Miyamoto family raised their glasses, the common people at the bottom of society were finally about to reach their breaking point and were on the verge of madness...

They all received a message.

[Since Wenxi Tree has reached level seven completion, everyone in the bunker will receive the reward 'Dual Voices of Desire'.]

Next is the explanation of the double-sounding "诡欲双声".

The Tower of Desire and the Tower of Deception can now communicate.

This enormous reward did not elicit cheers from the people.

This silenced everyone, almost the entire bunker.

Only living people can talk about "completeness".

Only the living can bring rewards.

The moment the prompt suddenly appeared in my mind...

At the Miyamoto family's banquet, everyone's hands, raised to drink, froze...

This was no longer a banquet for people who upheld the virtues of "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness," but with the arrival of the news...

This place looks like a clown's dinner party.

……

……

The second level of the bunker. Wen Xishu has finally returned.

When the information reached the minds of the entire population, everyone fell into a state of stillness.

The first to break the silence was Wen Xiange.

Wen Xiange threw his tall crown high into the air:
Let us cheer together for the miracles brought about by the leader!

His voice echoed throughout the second level of the bunker.

A deafening cheer erupted! Everyone in the bunker was both crying and laughing at that moment.

Wen Xiange also cried.

"Damn it, cult leader, you're a miracle! I really thought I was going to jump off a building!"

"Hahahaha, I made the right bet! The Cult Leader is the best in the world!"

"I fucking made the right bet!"

Without a doubt, Wen Xiange experienced a high point in his life.

He made the right bet; Wen Xishu returned with a miracle.

From today onwards, it will even be possible to form teams across different towers in the Tower of Desire and the Tower of Mystery.

At this moment, Wen Xiange knew that even if the leader encountered a similar situation again, it would be a disaster.

The bunker will not easily fall into the same situation as it was a few days ago.

Wen Xiange also knew that... this time, he had truly turned the tide.

However, he didn't care much about that. Compared to his own status, he cared more about the image of the cult leader.

He looked at the renewed fervor among all the followers, a hundred times stronger than before...

He felt it was worth it.

Perhaps there are gods on the Three Towers battlefield, but no matter how powerful those gods are, right now, the only true god in the bunker is the cultist.

Wen Xiange couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Just a few months ago, he had created the Xishu Cult in an effort to cheer himself up...

He was truly deified.

……

……

The bunker was celebrating, and so was the Three Towers Academy.

Wenxi Tree could hear the sounds outside.

The spirit of the courtyard handed him a hot towel:
"I'm really curious how you did that? Is it some kind of... ability?"

"You actually disappeared from the Heavenly Ranking for a while. You should know that these past few days, everyone thought..."

Wen Xishu smiled:

"Thought I was dead?"

Yuan Ling nodded, then shook his head:
"In short, with what you've done, your status is incredibly high. It's just that everyone's hearts aren't feeling too good."

"You have no idea, but while you were gone for the past few days, all sorts of monsters and demons have been waiting to show themselves."

Wen Xishu said:
"I did experience death, but I didn't die. It was just a false alarm. I never expected that a near-death experience would bring any additional benefits."

The spirit of the courtyard seemed to understand but not quite:

"I'm afraid you'll have to stay in the bunker for a couple of days. Quite a few people will be wanting to see you these days."

Wen Xishu said:
"There are some people I'd like to see, but what about the old headmaster? He hasn't returned while I've been away."

Yuan Ling shook his head:

"According to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the principal doesn't think you'll die and doesn't think it's a big deal."

"The headmaster said that rats only show themselves when the cats are gone, and there are two cats in the bunker, so he went to the Tower of Roar."

Wen Xishu understood.

During his "death," chaos must have reigned in the bunker.

Whether it's some prestigious families or some old-established noble families in bunkers...

In short, the changes following the Great Devouring were too rapid, and there are certainly many people who still harbor resentment.

The old headmaster deliberately went to the Tower of Slaughter to let something ferment and surface.

He smiled and said:
"He has that much confidence in me?"

The spirit of the courtyard said:

"The old principal believes that you died at the ninetyth level, but it is definitely not the fifty-something level."

Wen Xishu was full of admiration.

The spirit of the courtyard said:

“I have received Guiyu Shuangsheng’s message and have contacted Mr. Wenren Jing immediately. You must want to cooperate with him.”

Wen Xishu increasingly felt that the academy spirit was reminiscent of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. It was so considerate in its actions.

"At the same time, Wen Xiange of the Xishu Divine Cult has been performing very well these days. I think you can try to promote him."

"It can be said that he single-handedly calmed down half of the bunker's morale."

"Without him, you might already be seeing your black and white portrait hanging in a huge funeral hall."
