Chapter 2983: Chapter 607: Ancient Tower Master!

...

Two years later.

Nora Calendar 2217, Blood Battle 2105.

A crimson star hung high above the Ten Layers of Heaven, with the sound of forging tinkling from within. Heat waves and red flames surged, and the roar of dragons echoed incessantly.

Boom!

A pillar of light shot up from the earth’s core, erupting like a volcano. At the crest of the molten wave was a grandly shaped greatsword carved with the Red Emperor Dragon Pattern. Blood-red runes, distinct from the wizard system, were branded upon it.

"Crimson Dragon Slash!"

Levi, clad in Black Armor, gripped the greatsword and pointed it toward the sky. The calamity from the Land of Darkness descended once more upon the Red Emperor Heaven.

This was a Level 10 Calamity. Not only star divine weapons, legendary wizard tools, supreme treasures, and divine weapons, but any Level 10 treasure of civilization must undergo tribulation.

A massive blue icy hand, formed by countless waters, pressed down trying to crush Levi and the Crimson Dragon Slash.

"Begone!"

Levi slashed with his sword, and the magnificent Sword Qi soared ninety thousand miles, effortlessly shattering the symbolic Great Tribulation.

Countless strands of red flame Qi descended from the sky, absorbed by the Crimson Dragon Slash, metamorphosing the divine weapon into a [Star Divine Weapon].

The Crimson Dragon Slash, weighing approximately a mid-sized world, was forged by fusing [Sun God Gold] with various Level 9 Metals. It had two functions:

Firstly, to enhance the Power Attribute.

Secondly, to unleash destructive [Sun Invisible Corona Sword Qi], each strike rivaling a true Solar Storm. The stronger the power, the higher the energy level of the corona sword Qi, eventually simulating the might of a true solar explosion.

"Not bad. Though its functions are fewer than a supreme treasure, it suffices. Essentially, I just need a solid enough sword. Compared to a supreme treasure, the divine weapon’s forging technique is simpler, and its functional diversity is assuredly less. However, the divine weapon can be continually reforged and strengthened as my power increases, eventually surpassing a supreme treasure."

Next, Levi became one with his sword, meticulously comprehending within the Red Emperor Heaven until before the ancient tower opened. He opened his eyes and drew his sword to slash the sky!

The Sun Invisible Corona Sword Qi, twenty thousand miles long, spanned across the heavens and the earth!

"This sword’s might, even a late-stage Level 10 would not dare to withstand. Once I gather more materials, I will reforge the Golden Dragon Heavenly Shield."

He sheathed his sword and entered the ancient tower.

...

After dealing with the trivial matters of the first eight layers, Levi arrived at the Ninth Layer, headed straight for the temple of Eternal Fire, and found the Nora Ark model, with a prompt sound resonating.

[Do you wish to refine? After refining, you will become the captain. If the Nora Civilization cannot endure the Great Tribulation, you must take the civilization’s fire and wander the universe, finding a way out.]

"Refine."

Levi responded without hesitation.

[Nora Ark is recognizing its master... Master recognition successful.]

[Nora Ark]

[Captain: Levi Schneider (Level 10 required, fulfilled)]

[Vice Captain: None (Level 10 required, unlimited number)]

[Sailor: None (Level 9 required, unlimited number)]

[Crew: None (No level limit, number must not surpass ancient tower’s endurance limit)]

[Captain’s Authority: Ancient Tower Master]

[Vice Captain’s Authority: Ancient Tower Level Master]

[Sailor’s Authority: Ancient Tower Intersection Point Master]

...

Instantly, a vast amount of information surged into Levi’s mind. He absorbed the stream of information until he comprehended everything about the ancient tower.

[Ancient Tower Master:

1. You can freely enter and exit all layers of the ancient tower and decide its opening and closing times based on internal resource stock to determine the opening cycle.

2. You can utilize any resources from the first nine layers of the ancient tower and wield life and death power over any life within, bearing corresponding consequences for your actions.

3. You can appoint and dismiss vice captains and sailors, managing the tower jointly. With your consent, vice captains and sailors can obtain some resources in the tower as remuneration.

4. While maintaining the ecological and resource balance within the ancient tower, you can freely bring life in and out of the tower.

5. You may activate the tower’s built-in defense and firepower systems and reasonably deploy the supreme power stored by the tower’s refiner within it.

...]

Simply put, the authority of the Ancient Tower Master is "to do as one pleases." If Levi were a person of unbounded greed, he could completely monopolize it.

But the last line reads like this.

[As the captain, every choice and action you make will affect the destiny of billions of lives on board. The sea is dangerous; please sail cautiously.]

Levi looked up at the sky.

The Tenth Layer has never been reached by anyone throughout history.

"Let’s see what Sauron left behind."

...

The Tenth Layer.

The ancient tower is the Nora Ark, and here is its cockpit. The space is not large, with Levi standing inside, the window showing the endless Land of Darkness and countless worlds.

A giant star map hung overhead.

Countless light spots glittered on it, with lines connecting them. Around the star map lay darkness, chaos without light.

"This is a map of the Multidimensional Plane. Each light dot is a world, presumably marking where the ancient tower has traversed in the past 300,000 years. Over the long ages, at the speed of the ancient tower, it must have traveled across the Multidimensional Plane, only lacking other universes."

"As the captain, I can freely determine the ancient tower’s route. Wanting to go to the Golden Sacred Realm is not an issue, and plane travel is even more convenient now."

Levi imprinted the entire star map in his photographic memory.

In the center of the cockpit stood a black stone tablet, flickering like an electronic screen with Levi’s name, emitting a prompt sound.

[You can input the names of vice captains and sailors here and imprint a Soul Imprint; they will bind with the ancient tower. If vice captains and sailors encounter life-and-death crises, they can use the ancient tower’s power to teleport to the cockpit.

Please note:

1. Sailors can be teleported no more than 10 times, vice captains no more than 3 times, while the captain has unlimited teleportations.

2. Interference by supreme power may cause teleportation failure.]

"Nice, this is the proper usage of the ancient tower!"

What defines a cosmic treasure? This is it!

There’s no safer place than within the ancient tower.

Sauron’s thinking was indeed thorough.

As for the precautions, they’re negligible; for a legendary wizard at the pinnacle of the pyramid of power, encountering life-and-death crises perhaps wouldn’t exceed 3 times in a lifetime.

Interference by supreme power leading to failure, there’s no way around it. The ancient tower, at its core, is an inert object, challenging the supreme is still a bit beyond its reach.

Leaving the stone tablet, Levi continued to explore other parts of the cockpit.

There was a "Monitoring Area" for inspecting the conditions in the first nine layers, a "Firepower Area" for controlling the ancient tower’s assault on enemies, and a "Secret Room Area" for facilitating vice captains’ and sailors’ cultivation.

Everything conceivable could be found here.

Eventually, Levi came to a large roulette wheel.

[Nautical Roulette: Take a spin, turn a bicycle into a motorbike!]

[This function is currently only available to sailors, vice captains, and the captain, designed to alleviate monotonous nautical life. By investing any Level 9 Abyss Demon Core/Nightmare Crystal/Divine Crystal, you can participate in the lottery. Prizes include any resources above Level 9.]

The winning probability depends on the rarity of the resources. Those who do not win can receive a consolation prize of one billion Aether Stones, with a guaranteed reward of a Level 9 Oddity/Level 9 Holy Medicine/Sun Refining Artifact... after 10 consecutive unsuccessful attempts.]

"A lottery, and a guaranteed reward after ten attempts... Sauron must have been financially free, a small boss of a domestic premium mobile game company before his world tour, right?"
