Apotheosis

The green lines on the huge square zigzagged, like a huge rune array.

Geoffrey cautiously followed Elder Xue on the path as wide as his shoulders.

If he so much as crossed this green line, he'd instantly die. Geoffrey took every step with care, vigilantly eyeing the green lines before him.

The chimney was located in the center of the huge square. It was roughly around ten thousand feet away, but because of the zigzagging path, it was as though they'd walked hundreds of thousands of feet.

The other races also sent out their representatives at the same time, so there were more than ten people walking on the huge square. Sometimes, when they got close to each other, Geoffrey could feel a hint of hostility in their eyes.

After all, this was a competition of sorts. It was only natural that the six great races were hostile to each other. It was just because of the special nature of the region that they were not allowed to fight each other head on.

Ten minutes later, Geoffrey and his group finally arrived at the foot of the chimney.

Although Elder Xue had been here for countless years, it was the first time for him to observe the chimney up close.

From afar, the chimney looked like a looming black monster, but now as he observed it closely, he saw it differently.

Squinting, he realized the chimney was made of pure black metal, glistening under the sun.

Elder Xue walked towards the outer wall of the chimney and pressed his hand against it gently.

He had been thinking about the mysteries of the chimney for so long. Now that he was finally in front of it, he had mixed feelings.

Just then, he heard someone chuckling from behind him.

Three black apes approached from another path. The black ape in the lead said with a smile, "The Elemental race is usually so cautious, but they sent five people this time. Four members of their race already died a few days ago. So, is it only Elder Xue remaining in their camp now?"

"There is a human spirit among them. Is he the helper that Elder Xue found?"

"Last time, one of us saw this human spirit."

These black apes who were talking amongst themselves were from the Cold Ape race.

Among the six great races in the Deep Space, the Elemental race was the weakest. The only reason why they were able to rise to prominence was that Elder Xue had taken action before the intelligence of other five races was fully developed. And that was also the reason why the other races had always looked d

en words of the Fostering race and the Cinnabar race.

The creatures of the chaos were very interested in Sanskrit words. Masters like the Wing King and the Primeval Lord of Heaven had spent their entire lives deciphering Sanskrit words.

The Four Spirits Sect in the main world, on the other hand, were addicted to ring patterns. Kincaid, Sheehan, and Cornelius each had great attainments in the ring patterns.

Elder Xue's attainments in the ring patterns were not as great as theirs in the past, but by now, he not only stayed in the Deep Space for a long time, but also had the body of the Elemental race. His attainments in the ring patterns far surpassed those of anyone else in the Four Spirits Sect.

After saying that, Elder Xue gently leaned against the wall and began deciphering the ring patterns.

"The Levitation Tower is the root of our race," he deciphered slowly. "It is..."

The structure of the ring patterns might have been very simple, but it was difficult to decipher them one by one. After all, they were connected to each other, and the line space was quite narrow, so it was difficult to read them. Even if Elder Xue had stayed in the Deep Space for a long time, it was still difficult even for him to decipher them.

"It is also an opportunity for us to start all over again. After we were defeated by the Cinnabar race, we took it as fate dictated by nirvana. Everyone who enters the tower comes for this opportunity..." Geoffrey read aloud.

Elder Xue froze. Turning around abruptly, he stared at Geoffrey in disbelief.

Embarrassed, Geoffrey rubbed his hands shyly. "I... I seem to be able to read these words..."
