Elf: Start with small diamonds, then mutate into Diancie!

Just like with Li Hua and the other group of college geniuses, he wouldn't mind giving them a hand as long as it wouldn't affect his own vested interests.

After all, in the near future, once he has successfully eliminated those forces on Earth that attempted to overthrow the order, his next step will be to prepare to fulfill his responsibility as a hero.

That path will take an unknown amount of time, and we don't know what lies ahead. We must consider it in advance so that we can leave behind a "seed" to support the Shenzhou Alliance even after we leave.

The waveguide spread rapidly, and Su Hao quickly located a location at the bottom of the rift valley with different spatial fluctuations. He took Bai Du there and stepped onto the stairs leading to the 76th floor.

......

Bai Du once thought that the pinnacle of genius was probably Liao Xingchen, whom he both admired and resented.

But when he climbed the Sky Tower with Su Hao, he realized that the ultimate genius was far more than that.

Any genius he knew paled in comparison to Su Hao in that instant.

Starting from the 76th floor, Su Hao, at full power, almost crushed the enemy with his overwhelming force, relying solely on a single Dorothy Baruto... they should perhaps be considered three-headed dragons.

In short, relying solely on their power, Su Hao reached the 98th floor in just three hours.

The four Master-level Dragon Pokémon projections guarding the four stone pillars on the 98th floor were almost easily dealt with by the Dragapult siblings.

Perhaps this is also related to the fact that, as projections, they cannot utilize the power of the laws.

Standing on the steps leading to the 99th floor, gazing at the enormous stone tablet before him, Bai Du softly read out the four imposing characters carved on it.

"The 99th floor... The Path of Divine Descent."

------------

Chapter 1447 The Finishing Touch

For those who have come to see God, there is no turning back.

Beside the four large characters "The Path of Divine Descent," a line of smaller characters, seemingly meant to serve as a reminder to visitors, lies quietly in the corner of the stone tablet.

Su Hao couldn't read the text on it, but the stone tablet spirit could translate it for him.

Bai Du couldn't understand it either, but he had a translator prepared for him by his tribe.

This is an intelligent translator developed by the research team behind the Dragon Clan after studying and deciphering the traces left by the ancient inhabitants on the front floors of the Sky Tower and mastering their language and writing system.

The information on the stone tablet is naturally also within the scope of deciphering.

Having understood the information attached to the stone tablet, Su Hao and Bai Du exchanged a glance, everything understood without words.

The message the stone tablet wanted to convey was already clear: the next level would definitely not be as simple as before, and the four words "Path of Divine Descent" also gave rise to many thoughts.

Next, will they face Rayquaza, the sky god, in person?

Furthermore, that line of small print was quite meaningful. Does it mean that there is no way back? Does it mean that there is no way back like before, where if you can't beat someone, you can retreat to the next level or give up the challenge and be teleported back to the first level?

It's all or nothing.

What do you think?

Su Hao's expression remained unchanged, as calm as ever, and he instead sought Bai Du's opinion.

If the other party is considering giving up, then stop here and return to the first floor.

I wasn't scared at all by that line of small print.

The path to divine intervention... Even if the God of the Sky truly descends, so what?

He, Reshiram, and Motosaurus had all fought each other together, and even briefly captured the other in their Master Ball, standing on its head to fight aliens and extraterrestrial enemies.

Even though Rayquaza can now Mega Evolve thanks to my actions, it doesn't matter.

It's much harder to fight, but not enough to make me want to give up.

Unlike the confident Su Hao, Bai Du did hesitate.

As Su Hao continued climbing the Sky Tower, he had already gathered a great deal of information about floors 76 to 98. He could have simply retreated and, after regrouping, challenged his limits based on the information he had gathered. There was absolutely no need to unnecessarily increase the risks.

However, Bai Du was also somewhat unwilling.

He had a premonition that if he really retreated here, he would never be able to reach Su Hao's true strength, nor would he be able to break through his own limits.

His thoughts churned like waves, and Bai Du's expression changed repeatedly. Hesitation, confusion, and recklessness flashed in his eyes, eventually turning into a resolute look.

Thanks to Su Hao, perhaps I can escape unscathed after witnessing the contents of the 99th and 100th floors.

Even if he spends his entire life striving for this goal and may never achieve it before the end of his life, he can still pass on this will, vision, and hope to future generations, until someone stands before this monument again.

Today, he's going to take a huge gamble!

"go!"

With a single, powerful shout, Bai Du led the way around the massive stone tablet, heading towards the 99th floor.

Seeing this, Su Hao shook his head helplessly.

If I had even the slightest ill will, and didn't go in with you, wouldn't you have blown up?

It's like you're going to carry me on a journey; it's completely upside down.

Without lingering, Su Hao bypassed the stone tablet and headed to the 99th floor of the Sky Tower.

....................................

Unlike other floors that are closer to an "ecological environment", the atmosphere of the 99th floor is quite peculiar.

If we were to use an existing example, Su Hao felt that it was somewhat like the path to the Temple of Origin in a game, when the Pillar of Spears plays the heavenly flute that resounds through the sky.

That is to say, the celestial staircase suspended above nothingness.

In terms of creating a grand image, Rayquaza seems to be even more unfathomable and meticulous than Ho-Oh.

Even if this was probably just something prepared by ancient people to praise it, it itself didn't care at all.

The moment he entered the 99th floor, Bai Du, who was breathing naturally, found that his breathing had instantly turned into manual mode.

The air here is so thick it's like liquid; when you breathe, it feels like your lungs are being squeezed by an invisible hand.

In what seemed like an almost nonexistent void, only a celestial staircase leading to an unknown destination remained.

Outside the Heavenly Ranks, the laws of gravity have collapsed.

If one were to leave the area of ​​the Heavenly Rank, one would likely encounter something extremely terrifying.

Looking at the semi-transparent staircase beneath his feet, which seemed less like a solid staircase and more like a condensation of flowing indigo energy, Bai Du swallowed hard and took a few steps forward with great courage.

Every time his foot landed on a step, the step would ripple, but there was no sign of it falling apart, which was quite magical.

Bai Du's Flying Dragon had already retracted its blood-red dragon wings. The overlord of the sky did not dare to leave the range of the Heavenly Rank, but instead used its limbs to crawl like a lizard that could not fly.

So far, nothing unusual has happened on the 99th floor.

Su Hao also stepped onto the stairs, but upon hearing Doronmesia's sister's call, he realized something was wrong—

The indigo energy that he had just walked on dissipated the moment he left.

Does this mean there's no turning back?

Using the waveguide, Su Hao shared his discovery with Bai Du, who was moving faster and faster ahead.

Bai Du's steps slowed down instantly, his face turning pale as he looked behind him, fearing that the stairs might suddenly disappear.

If you accidentally take a step back and fall out of the Heavenly Rank range, who knows what might happen?

"How about... you go ahead and lead the charge?"

Bai Du, unusually timid, said...

"Row."

Su Hao and Bai Du switched positions directly. The heavenly ladder beneath their feet was surprisingly intelligent. When he walked past the pitiful, shrinking dragon that was afraid of being squeezed out of the heavenly ladder, the heavenly ladder did not immediately dissipate because of the presence of the dragon.

Watching this scene, Su Hao, who seemed to be deep in thought, said to Bai Du, "Let's keep a certain distance. You follow behind, but don't stray too far from me."

After all, if an emergency occurs, he might not have time to take care of Bai Du.

Bai Du nodded, showing absolutely no intention of contradicting Su Hao.

The two began to climb upwards, the Heavenly Staircase stretching endlessly, and they didn't know how long it would take to climb.

Fortunately, the calm is only temporary.

Ten minutes into the ascent, Reshiram in Su Hao's mind sensed the change in the laws and said in a deep voice, "Be careful, it's the finishing touch!"

------------

Chapter 1448 Grass-Green Pearl

As if in response to Reshiram's warning, a sudden gust of wind arose from the previously empty and still void.

From the deepest, more distant void, an extremely bright azure star lit up. Then, amidst a sudden gust of turbulent wind, it drew a straight azure line through the void, like a sword hanging from the sky, hurtling straight toward Su Hao and Bai Du.

Neither Su Hao nor Reshiram would mistake it; it was definitely Rayquaza's signature move, "The Finishing Touch"!

Could it be that Rayquaza really came in person?

Rahiram is ready to show himself and fight.

Bai Du, who was already like a frightened bird, was so frightened that he almost jumped up. Now they couldn't even leave the Heavenly Rank, so how could they possibly block the attack that was obviously coming towards them?

The Flying Dragon squeezed forward, trying to encompass Bai Du within the protective range of its dragon wings, but due to the limited length of the Heavenly Rank, it could only press him down.

Bai Du, his face filled with terror, lay prone on the cracked Heavenly Staircase, staring at the bottomless void below, his pupils dilating wildly, fearing that he might accidentally fall through the crack.

"Hee-ya!" "Spit!"

Doromecia's younger siblings and Dorombalto also switched to battle mode, ready to use the Annihilation Shadow formed by the power of reversal to intercept the finishing touch.

"Don't go. The outside environment is very strange. You haven't mastered enough power of the laws yet, so it will be difficult to fight back while protecting yourselves."

Su Hao stopped the three Duolong siblings and instead took out a deluxe ball.

According to Reshiram, to fight in the outside environment, one must at least master the power of the laws. The three Dorgon siblings are still some distance from the master level, let alone be able to confront the "finishing touch" of the dragon.

The luxurious ball in Su Hao's hand opened, and the increasingly ethereal and mysterious Diancie appeared.

Having already learned of the current situation through the waveguide, it flew away from the range of the Heavenly Staircase without hesitation.

In an instant, the shattered laws of the surrounding area all came toward Diancie, attempting to influence her.
