The moment the Blue Knight sliced ​​through the last layer of flesh, everyone looked ahead at the same time.

Below was a pitch-black abyss, its bottom unseen. At the edge of the passage, several bronze pillars could be seen intersecting, only a small part of their shafts visible before disappearing into the passage below.

Clearly, we are now close to the core of the Bronze Sin.

But that wasn't the key point. The key point was that everyone saw a huge figure slowly rising and falling in the darkness.

The people found it.

It also spotted the group.

The pipe network layer behind the copper wall is a completely different world from the one in front.

Selena led the mentors further inside. The surrounding pipes were long gone, and even the bronze walls had vanished, leaving only a dense layer of eerie inscriptions covering every inch of the walls.

The inscriptions were still writhing, rotating in circles at an extremely slow pace. The longer you stared at them, the more your eyes felt pulled, and your consciousness seemed to spin along with them.

Selena immediately looked away, without stopping her steps.

The mentor behind her didn't have her composure.

The young mentor at the back suddenly slowed down, his gaze fixed on a circle of rotating inscriptions on the right wall, his mouth slightly open, as he was pulled toward that wall.

He stretched out his hand, his fingertips just an inch away from the inscription.

Selena didn't even turn her head, and slapped her palm behind her.

A layer of light gray mist spread from her palm, instantly enveloping everyone.

The young instructor shuddered, abruptly withdrawing his hand, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

"What's the panic?" Selena's voice wasn't loud, and she didn't stop walking. "Since you've gotten what you wanted, paying the corresponding price is normal. You can leave now, but can you bear the consequences?"

No one said a word upon hearing this.

The young instructor lowered his head, clenched his fingers, and caught up with the group.

The gray mist clung to everyone's skin, keeping the inscriptions at bay.

Selena walked at the front, her expression unchanged, but her pace quickened slightly.

The further you go in, the denser the inscriptions become.

Later on, it wasn't just pasted on the walls anymore; the top, the bottom, and both sides were completely covered by the rotating inscriptions, making it impossible to tell which side was the wall and which side was the ground.

The entire passage has nothing to do with Bronze City anymore; it's more like some special realm.

A very faint buzzing sound began to appear in the ears of the mentors, it was hard to tell whether it was the sound or the resonance of the surrounding inscriptions themselves.

Selena frowned slightly, and her pace finally slowed down.

Ahead, a blinding golden light shone through the gaps in the inscription.

The light was cold and blinding, pure gold in color, completely different from holy light, and it forcefully split the entire space in front of it in two.

The inscription stopped when it touched the edge of the golden light, not daring to go any further.

Selena stopped; she saw the wall.

A huge bronze wall stood at the end of the passage, much taller than the one the adults had described to her last time.

The wall was in a terrible state; the once smooth bronze surface was now covered with raised contours, bulging outwards from the inside, suggesting that something was locked inside.

But it is attempting to escape, or rather, attempting to break free from these constraints.

That golden light emanated from the copper wall.

"We've arrived." Selena turned around and glanced at her mentors behind her.

She squatted down and opened the largest box in her hand.

Inside the box was a mass of grayish-white flesh, its surface covered with fine lines, and it was still wriggling slightly.

Selena took it out and placed it on the ground directly in front of the copper wall.

The other instructors also opened their respective boxes one by one, took out pieces of flesh and blood of varying sizes, and placed them around the first group.

Selena's lips moved.

The voice was extremely low, and it was impossible to hear what was being said; only indistinct syllables were squeezed out from between the teeth.

The light gray mist around her suddenly thickened, spreading out from her feet and enveloping the entire space in front of the copper wall, along with everyone else.

The next moment, the flesh on the ground suddenly twisted violently.

Flesh and blood coalesced into a ball, lunging fiercely at the eerie inscriptions swirling around them.

The inscriptions that were originally rotating slowly accelerated wildly the moment they touched flesh, their rotation direction shifting left and right. A sharp, almost inaudible sound came from deep within the inscriptions, forcing several instructors to cover their ears at the same time.

The entire pipe network structure began to vibrate.

It wasn't just this passage; Selena could feel the vibrations spreading in all directions from her feet, causing the entire pipeline layer to shake.

The inscription expanded outward at an unstoppable speed, swallowing up and covering the original bronze patterns on the pipe wall layer by layer.

The layer of gray mist beneath Selena's feet completely protected them, and the inscriptions expanded around the outer edge of the mist without touching them at all.

But the inscriptions didn't spread haphazardly. Selena looked up and saw the wildly spreading inscriptions converging, lines intersecting and sticking together to form a huge shape.

That was an eye.

Selena's expression darkened.

Before she could take a closer look, a dull thud came from the copper wall behind her.

The booming sound came from inside the copper wall.

The bulging outlines throbbed violently, and several cracks appeared on the bronze surface of the copper wall. From the cracks, an even stronger golden light burst forth, illuminating the entire pipeline channel.

Selena couldn't help but squint.

She saw it the instant the golden light faded.

Deep within the copper wall, a huge shadow is emerging from a crack.

It was a crown, seemingly made entirely of gold, gleaming with a cold light, and ridiculously large in size, about the height of a person and more than two people wide. It was something that no human head could possibly wear.

The crown has seven horns, and at the tip of each horn is an eye, a real eye, encased in metal, six of which are still slowly rotating and twisting.

The largest one in the very center looks like glass and gleams with a dreamy, colorful luster under the golden light.

All seven eyes were fixed on Selena.

Selena's breath caught in her throat for a moment.

Her mentors were already at their breaking point. The gray mist thinned dramatically under the impact of the golden light, and several of them turned deathly pale, their legs trembling, clearly under immense mental pressure.

Selena didn't have time to think and quickly uttered a name.

The moment that name was uttered, the direction of the Tower of Learning responded.

Top of the Tower of Learning.

The guardian sat upright in place, his white hair hanging down his shoulders, his dark aura intertwined with the walls of the Tower of Learning, and in front of him hung a small head formed from gray-white mist.

Just moments before, the little head suddenly trembled.

The guard immediately noticed that the head hadn't moved, but the consciousness of the person on the wall was moving outwards.

He acted without hesitation.

Black threads burst forth from his body, tightening abruptly around the skull, trying to forcefully pull the consciousness of the person on the wall back.

But the person on the wall had no intention of backing down.

The small, grayish-white head suddenly lit up, and an extremely heavy force exploded from within it, forcefully snapping the guardian's threads back.

The guard was jolted back half a step.

A dozen or so black eyes emerged from his body, all staring at the head. His killing intent surged. Just a second ago, this thing was restricting his actions, but now it was out on its own.

This is simply a case of not treating oneself as a human being.

But the next moment, the guard suppressed the killing intent in his heart.

wrong.

The consciousness of the person on the wall did not appear in the Bronze City.

His senses were now connected with those of the Bronze City; he would know immediately if anyone peeked out from behind the walls in any corner of the city.

But right now, I can't sense anything.

The person on the wall went to a place he didn't know.

The guardian did not give chase. He gathered the black threads and wrapped them back around the enormous skull, tightening the loops with each turn.

He remained seated.

Wait for the person on the wall to return. If they cannot provide a reasonable explanation, then crush their skull and consciousness together. At worst, I will die, and the person on the wall will fall back into slumber.

On this side of the copper wall.

The air around Selena suddenly distorted.

A small, grayish-white head appeared out of thin air, half a step to her side.

A head formed from condensed mist, not much larger than a fist, with blurred features, was clearly gazing ahead.

The person on the wall has arrived.

The small head's gaze swept past Selena and landed on the golden seven-eyed crown deep within the bronze wall.

It looked for two breaths.

The once calm and serene face of the mist suddenly changed, its features tightening sharply, and its previously blurred eyebrows squeezed together.

"Take it back."

The voice came from the small head, urgent and undeniable.

"Reclaim all the flesh and blood, and don't touch those inscriptions again."

Selena was taken aback.

What if you're doing something and an adult suddenly stops you?

Although she didn't understand the reason, she could tell from the tone of the person on the wall that he was very confident, even more so than when he arranged this job.

"Do as instructed," the person on the wall urged again.

She turned and instructed the instructors to close the box.

The mentors frantically pulled back the clumps of flesh still writhing on the inscriptions, stuffed them into their respective boxes, and fastened the buckles.

The moment the flesh detached from the inscriptions, the speed of those wildly spinning inscriptions suddenly decreased, and the giant eye that had been pieced together also dispersed, with the lines slowly separating and returning to their original spinning shapes.

Deep within the copper wall, the golden light of the seven-eyed crown gradually dimmed and sank back behind the copper wall.

One by one, the seven eyes closed, until only the central glass bead remained lit, but it didn't last long before going out as well.

That small, grayish-white head didn't linger.

It glanced at Selena, said nothing more, and the mist gradually gathered and dissipated from the outside in, hurriedly retreating back towards the Tower of Learning.

Selena packed up the last box, stood up, and dusted off her robe.

"Let's go." Her tone had returned to normal.
