By then, the number of suspended towers will not be limited to just a few hundred, and human civilization will usher in an unprecedented heyday.

But...is this really a prosperous age?

"The suspended tower has always been a product of humankind's servility to natural disasters."

Gao Tong, the only expert in natural disaster energy research, came to this conclusion with a sneer.

“But without the suspended towers, there would be no human civilization today.” Celis said in a deep voice.

"The raging waves hit the lonely boat that had capsized at some point, waiting for the arrival of destruction in the fear of the alternation of day and night...Humanity cannot live in the cradle forever." Gao Tong said calmly, "Lingxi did not support my plan. During his lifetime, I did not promote the research of the 'string vibration' device."

"Can you build such a device?"

Luo Xue frowned slightly and asked.

"Are you referring to this?" Gao Tong picked up the formation rune in his hand and said, "Unfortunately, I can't do it. The so-called 'string vibration' device... is actually the entire suspended tower and me. This starter is to provide the necessary energy for the device."

He raised his hand slightly, looked at his palm, and smiled.

"My ability allows me to hear the sound of the 'strings'... more precisely, to hear my voice in another world."

Qualcomm pointed to his ears and said, "The world five seconds from now is constantly changing."

"Time traveler?"

Celis couldn't help but exclaim.

"That's it."

Qualcomm nodded.

After hearing this, Celis finally understood why Qualcomm was able to determine the "String Theory", because he could truly touch the existence of another world.

"As long as I become a Level 10 ability user and can integrate my body into time and space, the String Vibration device will really have meaning." Gao Tong's expression was quite regretful. "What a pity... I was just one step away and you still found it."

"Maybe we can keep it a secret and let you continue with your plan?" Luo Xue suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Celis widened her eyes. Just as she was about to speak up and explain the pros and cons to Luo Xue, she saw her winking at her. After thinking for a moment, she remained silent.

Luo Xue has no feelings towards the hanging tower, but Celis is different. Her education since childhood has told her that the hanging tower is the mother of the new civilization of mankind. Without the hanging tower, there will be no new era of civilization.

Qualcomm's behavior is tantamount to matricide and is the most intolerable practice for all Tajik people.

"It is indeed something that only the barren people can say," Gao Tong shook his head and said, "My story is over. Miss Luo Xue, can you tell me a little about your understanding of the creations of the previous civilization?"

At this point, Qualcomm seemed to remember something and slapped his head, "Oh, wait, there's one more thing..."

He took out another formation rune and connected it with the starter rune in his hand. In an instant, an unknown amount of natural disaster energy was poured into it.

The runes of the formation glowed faintly, and after a moment, the entire suspended tower was vibrating at an imperceptible amplitude, accompanied by a shrill low hum.

From the first to the eighth floor, alarms sounded everywhere in the suspended tower. Emotions of panic and fear spread among all the people in the tower, as if a disaster had come.

"Okay, now we can continue chatting."

Qualcomm, the instigator of all this, breathed a sigh of relief, and seemed to be much more relaxed. "It will take some time for the 'string vibration' device to start up, but it is enough time for us."

"you!"

Celis looked shocked, not caring about the huge gap between her strength and Qualcomm's, and rushed forward to grab the launcher.

But unexpectedly, Gao Tong threw the starter rune directly to Celis and said with a smile,

"Leave it to you as a souvenir."

As soon as Celis got the starter, she destroyed it without thinking twice.

But to no avail, the changes to the suspended tower continued.

Just as Qualcomm said, this is just the starter, and the real "string vibration" device is the entire suspended tower.

Because it must rely on the powerful energy of the suspended high tower engine to have enough energy to trigger "string vibration".

"why?"

Luo Xue asked in a low voice.

"No reason. I will definitely press this button. I just hold it in my hand because I want you to listen to me carefully." Gao Tong shrugged, "You don't understand. Unless I kill you, this matter will definitely be reported to the Federation because of the existence of Miss Celis.

"Besides, killing you is not realistic. Let me think about it... A federal commissioner with level 132 supernatural powers unfortunately died in the nd suspended tower. My God, it's hard to imagine what kind of sensation it would cause. I have to resign."

From the beginning to the end, Qualcomm never hesitated.

Even though he knew that under the current circumstances, the failure rate of activating the "string vibration" device was very high, he still did not hesitate.

Because if you don’t start now...you won’t have a chance in the future, and that would be an absolute failure.

As for the price of failure, Qualcomm doesn't care, which is why he is called a madman.

"You want to know what I know about the creations of previous civilizations?" Luo Xue raised her eyebrows and chuckled, "Lord Gao Tong, you seem very interested..."

"Yes, I'm very interested." Qualcomm nodded.

"Now, you can see it for yourself."

Luo Xue closed her eyes and her senses covered the upper three floors of the suspended tower.

It can be clearly sensed that some key locations on the upper three floors are emitting the aura of spiritual energy fluctuations, which should be the locations of the formation nodes.

The number is quite large, and with Luo Xue's level of cultivation, she is unable to completely destroy them.

After all, this was something Qualcomm had been planning decades ago, and after Lingxi's suicide, they had been planning for nearly a decade. It was not something that could be stopped simply by destroying the runes.

but...

Luo Xue could still cut off a part of it.

At the moment when Luo Xue closed her eyes, Gao Tong's expression changed drastically. He had already heard the future five seconds later and murmured in disbelief,

"Wait, how... did you do that?"

After a while, the vibrations on the upper three floors slowly stopped, and the operation of the "string vibration" device was forcibly terminated.

"Just find the center of the formation."

Luo Xue opened her eyes and said slowly.

The key to breaking the formation is to deconstruct it, find the center of the formation, and disrupt it.

Although the formation set up by Gao Tong was quite large and difficult, due to the different systems, he simply roughly pieced the formation runes together.

Luo Xue’s skill in formation was almost non-existent, but she was also in the Xianwu system after all, so she saw through the essence of the formation at a glance.

Just like in the Fengyin Mountain conspiracy, Luo Xue used a little bit of spiritual power to pry open the operation of the entire formation.

Unfortunately, Luo Xue's cultivation is limited and can only cover the upper three layers. The lower six layers are too vast. If she senses the disturbances one by one, I'm afraid the "string vibration" device will have been activated.

Chapter 146: Finally, I caught you

However, in Qualcomm's view, Luo Xue did stop the "string vibration" device, even if only partially.

And...since Gao Tong has not embarked on the path to immortality, he can hardly sense spiritual power, and has no idea how Luo Xue did it.

This unknown situation caused Qualcomm, which had held the initiative firmly in its hands from the beginning, to waver a little.

"Ms. Luo Xue, can you really stop the 'string vibration' device?" Celis exclaimed in disbelief, but when she saw that Luo Xue's expression was still solemn, she calmed down a little, "Could it be..."

"This is the limit of what you can do." Qualcomm said in a deep voice.

"Maybe?"

An inexplicable smile appeared on Luo Xue's pale face.

In the entire venue, besides Luo Xue, only Ling Ling could slightly sense the fluctuation of spiritual power, but she didn't know what happened. She just hugged Luo Xue's arm with a confused look in her eyes.

"But this won't work. The success rate of taking the risk of activating the String Vibration device is already extremely low. Now that you have blocked the operation of part of the device, I'm afraid that before the String Vibration is completed, the entire suspended tower will be torn apart."

Gao Tong said calmly, "My goal is to make a final desperate attempt before facing trial, not to destroy the No. 132 Hanging Tower and destroy my life's work."

"Does it make a difference?"

Celis said indignantly.

If she hadn't followed Luo Xue to the 132nd suspended tower by chance, she would not have discovered Qualcomm's secret.

If Qualcomm is allowed to continue, once he is promoted to level 10 beyond the limits of human beings and activates the "string vibration" device, the Federal Parliament will have no choice but to watch this fortress that continues human civilization being buried in the turbulence of time and space.

Even Celis, who is very interested in these theories and believes in them, holds this view, not to mention those old-fashioned people in the Federal Parliament who only seek stability.

After Qualcomm pressed the "String Vibration" starter without hesitation, Celis had secretly notified the Federation, but had not received a response yet.

"So... stop the device, Qualcomm, I know you can stop it." Luo Xue said in a deep voice.

She saw runes that could control the operation of the formation among these pieced-together runes.

In addition to the starter, Qualcomm should also have a brake to stop the operation of the "string vibration" device.

Such a huge project cannot be put into operation directly without testing. According to Qualcomm's plan, it will conduct experimental operations every ten years over the next fifty years and will not be fully started until the end of its life.

Gao Tong remained silent and did not respond to Luo Xue.

Because just like the starter, the brake is also a one-time use.

Once the device is stopped from running, Qualcomm will not be able to run the "string vibration" device again until a new starter is found. Doing so will bury his ideal in the grave.

He sat in the wheelchair silently. Even though the first operation of the "string vibration" device caused the entire suspended tower to fall into unprecedented panic, it still could not shake his determination.

"I don't want to kill you, Luo Xue, really, because you exceeded my expectations." Gao Tong sighed, "After meeting you, I realized that you are indeed a very good child. It's a pity that you died in my hands."

Having said this, Qualcomm slowly stood up and got out of the wheelchair.

Distorted space cracks appeared around him, twisted light passed through his body, and what fell was an indescribable light and shadow.

"Uncle Gao..."

Lingling was a little scared. Although Uncle Gao seemed to have changed a lot today, in her feeling, he seemed to have not changed at all.

There is absolutely no difference between his previous kindness and his current coldness and harshness.

At this time, Qualcomm has transformed into the form of an incarnation of time and space. He seems to be embedded in this time and space. It is difficult to describe how he is intertwined with the real world.

"I saw... countless worlds overlapping with ours..."

Gao Tong's hoarse and distant voice sounded from all directions, and a ray of light and shadow slightly extended out, as if Gao Tong stretched out his hand and slowly approached Luo Xue.

Slow, but precise.

The light and shadow targeted Luo Xue's heart. She had no way to avoid it. No matter how she tried to escape, the light and shadow would follow her like a shadow.

In Qualcomm's eyes, countless possibilities flash in the future, but the world becomes clearer and clearer after a few seconds, all pointing to one result.

Luo Xue's heart was pierced by the torn space released by the distorted light and shadow, and she died.

He was moving forward along the path that was already determined, with no possibility of redemption.

Celis wanted to delay Qualcomm's movements a little to buy time for a counterattack.

But she discovered in despair that her special ability had no effect on the distorted light and shadow, as if it was in vain.

Because...the distorted light and shadow standing in front of Luo Xue and Celis is not so much Gao Tong as it is just a projection of him in the present world.

"The laws of space and time..."

Luo Xue's breathing quickened a little. She knew that some Nascent Souls had comprehended these two incredible laws, but most of them could only master one of them.

Even if there is only one kind, it can be said to be semi-invincible among the cultivators of the same level, especially the cultivators of the law of time, who are extremely difficult to deal with.

Even if Qualcomm can only use these two laws a little bit now, for example, using the law of time to see the world a few seconds later, and using the law of space to slightly tear the space, but... it is still enough to be fatal.

"Try to delay the time. His current condition won't last long."

At this moment, Ling Ling suddenly spoke.

Luo Xue and Celis both looked at her, somewhat surprised.

"The necklace told me..."

Lingling shrank her head.

Whenever she encountered a problem, she habitually asked about the necklace, because Gao Tong said that the necklace was her father's wisdom.

Lingling feels that she is very stupid and doesn't understand anything, so she has always been very dependent on the necklace. This is her limitation and the reason why her research has not been able to make any breakthroughs.

Although the "Lingxi body" possesses Lingxi's knowledge and thinking, it is ultimately a dead object, unable to think independently and can only give answers passively.

Often, asking the question is the most difficult part, compared to the answer.
