Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

The second floor of the Black Tower!?

That black tower was actually the so-called second floor of the Black Tower?

The Dragon God said that the Black Tower has no second floor.

Now, the single-eyebrowed imposter's words have cleared up this mystery: it wasn't the second floor, but a prison.

"The main purpose of this prison is to restrict access."

The single-browed imposter knew that Chen Xi definitely didn't know, so in order to buy time, he continued to explain.

"The conditions for entering the second level of the Black Tower, which is the prison, are the same as you know."

"Entering sainthood or halfway into sainthood."

Chen Xi nodded subconsciously.

One cannot remain at the first level of sainthood, which is what these people call the mortal realm.

"Half-stepping into sainthood" refers to someone like Lu Xitong, a third-tier transcendent who did not fully pass the identity test and failed to gain identity recognition.

Such a person will be forced to ascend if their power exceeds the limit of the third rank.

As for what that limit is, Chen Xi doesn't know. He has already exceeded it. However, he is neither a half-saint nor a saint, so he will not be forced to ascend.

"However, there is one thing you may not know: we pseudo-humans do not have identity tests. After obtaining six identities, it is equivalent to half-stepping into sainthood, and we have the opportunity to ascend to the so-called second level."

Six cards equals half a saint?

But I don't feel like I'm about to ascend at all. Is it because my power exceeded the ascension level before I reached the sixth level?

As Chen Xi thought this, the words of the single-browed pseudo-man also proved that he now possessed seven identity cards, otherwise he would not have reached the 1% level of sainthood.

But surely one of the seven cards must be from the Overlord sequence?

Is it a "doctor"?

The answer instinctively popped into Chen Xi's mind.

"This is a prison."

"Once you go in, it's very, very difficult to get out."

"It is indeed a world where strong people gather, but it is not a wonderful world."

"There is indeed immortality inside prison, but the crucial element of reincarnation is absent!"

"It's like a lawless place outside the cycle of reincarnation."

"The lack of reincarnation means there's no progress, so even though I've only been here a short time, no matter how long I stay, my progress will only be 1% towards sainthood!"

"That's why I call it a prison. Its purpose is to keep people locked up, locked up all the time, like raising them in a pen."

The single-eyebrowed pseudo-human seemed somewhat desperate at this point, revealing that he was someone who longed to become stronger.

What's the deal with the black tower ball?

"You were looking for this, weren't you?"

Chen Xi said in a deep voice.

A lawless land beyond the cycle of reincarnation—this is the truth of the second level of the Black Tower. No wonder the Dragon God said there is no such thing as the second level of the Black Tower.

From this perspective, the Black Tower is essentially keeping these individuals, whose strength surpasses that of Tier III, in captivity.

"That's a mission."

"In prison, there is a 'warden,' who is the second symbol of 'control.'"

"We see him occasionally. As a symbol, he can go in and out of prison, but there are many restrictions. I don't know the specifics."

"All I know is that he gave me a task: to find a small ball called the 'Black Tower.'"

"I was chosen because my strength at the time was considered to be at the halfway point of sainthood, which would make it easier for me to leave."

"He didn't know the exact location of the Black Tower ball either; he only gave me a range."

"However, he wasn't sure about the exact area, because he'd heard there were several other suspected target locations within a similar area!"

"So I just looked around casually and went back to report, since there was no punishment or reward for this task."

Chen Xi listened expressionlessly. He had made many assumptions back then, but he didn't expect the other party to just look around casually and then go back.

The reason the single-eyebrowed imposter went to the tennis court later was not because he discovered anything, but because it was a suspected target location.

"Later, I don't know if it was for screening purposes, but they sent another person down to the place I had been to before. He was a guy with tattoos on his face, and I didn't know him."

It turns out that the tall guy I met in the neighborhood was part of the second round of screening conducted by the prison warden.

Chen Xi had an answer.

"What exactly is the Black Tower Ball?"

This is a very crucial question for Chen Xi.

"What is it?" The single-eyebrowed pseudo-human thought for a moment. "I don't know exactly what it is. To put it simply, I only know that it's a program."

"It's an essential program, but it also has another purpose, though I don't know what that purpose is."

program?

This procedure should refer to an indispensable part of the cycle of reincarnation, as can be seen from the fact that the world began to be blank after it was placed at the top of the Black Tower.

But this step should have been done by the ninth symbol, Peace, right?

She said the thing she was holding up was the Black Tower, and from the impression given by the Primal Seed, it seems that the Black Tower ball has a close relationship with Chu Qingge.

As for the other unknown uses of the single-eyebrowed pseudo-human, it's unknown whether they are related to the color of the black tower sphere.

Even now, this thing still retains a strong sense of mystery.

"I don't know what's been going on lately, but things have been rather turbulent in the prison. Apparently, there's a vacancy, but unfortunately, someone with my abilities is out of luck."

vacancy?

It seems that because Eternity died, there was an extra spot in the symbolic procession.

Chen Xi originally thought that as long as it was the ultimate fake man, it could become a symbol. Now it seems that it is not that simple. The ultimate fake man has only met the basic conditions.

I wonder how many ultimate fakes have been gathered in this so-called prison?

Do you know what authority is?

"I know they are the embodiment of the Black Tower's power; their power lies beyond their symbols."

"If I'm not mistaken, they're also at the Sainthood stage, right?"

"That's right."

"Give me a number: what is their progress?"

Chen Xi longed to know the answer.
