Chapter 832: Asking For Gifts 3

“Wang Lu, are you ready? I don’t think those people below can hold it anymore!”

“No!”

“Then hurry up! The Grand Cloud Array is about to be broken! Ah, the last outer ring is gone and now there’s only a broken inner ring!”

“I know! I can see it!”

“If you can see it then what are you waiting for? The Sky Tower has opened the space barrier to such a large extent, can’t you pass it? Are you fatter than a pig? Hurry up will you!”

“Stop talking nonsense! I would’ve passed through if I could! Do you think it’s fun here? Do I look like I’m playing? Although the Sky Tower has broken the space barrier, the hole is not big enough for me to pass through. If I want to force myself through, I have to turn my body into a stick! Moreover, the Fallen Immortals have been using the Immortal Method to reinforce the barrier. Don’t you see that this passage is crumbling? Do you want the two of us to be banished into the endless void as we pass through the passage?”

“Then what are we supposed to do? It was you who made them try their best to build this tower. Consequently, many people died for it, and so they put all their hopes on this tower. Now you tell me you can’t do it? Are you still a man?”

“Wang Wu, you shut up! If you can’t help me then stop talking nonsense! Do you think I don’t know that the situation is critical? Would I deliberately let them die for nothing? The Sky Tower pierce the barrier and let me back to Nine Regions, that’s the method that we’ve worked out together at the beginning, now tell me what’s wrong with this method? You have checked the calculation more than a dozen times, is there even a slight error in the calculation?”

“I’m not good at calculation! Even my smartest clone can only barely be able to count. Helping you double-check the calculation has already used up all of my effort, now you want to blame it on me?”

“I’m trying to tell you that since you’re an illiterate who knows nothing, then just shut up, don’t chatter like a sociologist! Our calculation is correct. If they can build a complete Sky Tower, they can open a complete passage for us in an instant. However, the power of this Sky Tower is only half of the planned power, which is not enough.”

“Do you want to blame them for not doing enough? Most of them have lost their lives!”

“I don’t want to blame anyone. They have done their best. In order to build this Sky Tower, they did not hesitate to march into the Southern Heaven Region, which is braver than I expected. But it’s a pity that everyone, including me, has actually fallen into someone else’s scheme. They have sacrificed countless talents to obtain the sample of Against the World Dragon Pillar, which was actually forged.”

“What?”

“Senior Immortal Xiaoyao, or someone else, had anticipated our real purpose when our side went all out to lure the Fallen Immortals from the Against the World Dragon Pillar, but that person did not say anything. On the one hand, the Fallen Immortals were sent to the front to fight on the battlefield, on the other hand, they deliberately showed flaws so that Yin Xuan the others could have a chance to cut off samples from the Against the World Dragon Pillar…”

“But at that time, the Against the World Dragon Pillar has already been swapped, right?”

“Perhaps it was, or perhaps Yin Xuan and the others were fooled by Senior Immortal Xiaoyao. But for whatever reason, the final result is the same. The Sky Tower based on fake materials can’t be compared with the original. Now, the Sky Tower can unexpectedly produce half of the expected power output, Lu Li and the others have actually performed exceptionally.”

“What’s the difference between half power and full power?”

“It’s a qualitative difference. A Sky Tower with a full power output can completely break through the passage. At half the power, I need to work hard from this end to make it up. But my strength is far from enough. Do you still remember the calculation? If I had to open the channel with my own strength, I would need to be at least ten times stronger than I am now, and the synchronization rate of the giant Divine Weapon would have to be increased to one hundred and twenty percent. Now with half the expected power, I only need to be five times stronger, then I can support a stable passage to return to Nine Regions. But it also means that I need to improve the synchronization rate to one hundred percent…”

“And that will take hundreds of years…”

“So, no matter how much you urge me, it’s useless. I have already tried to burn my lifespan to double my power… But as you can see, there’s almost no difference in the passage.”

“In other words…we can’t go back at all now?”

“It’s not impossible to cross the passage by force, but it would be like what happened to Canglan when he came to Nine Regions. What can we do there if we only have ten percent of our ability? Hetu and the others… are pinning their hopes on Wang Lu the savior, not Wang Lu the weak chicken. It’s either we don’t go back, or if we go back, we must be able to ‘fix the tone with a single hammer blow.'”

“But now, Spirit Sword Mountain is about to be captured. Once the mountain falls, all of the forces of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals assembled there will be annihilated. At that time, what’s the use if we can fix the tone with a single hammer blow?”

“I know, no need to say this kind of thing… Let me try it again, I’ll stake it all this time.”

“Enough. Burning your lifespan is not the panacea. Even if you burn your remaining hundreds and even thousands of years of life, you can’t suddenly become five times or ten times stronger… Wang Lu, use me instead. If you refine me, in a short time, your strength should be able to soar several times.”

“… Stop talking nonsense.”

“You’re the one who should stop talking nonsense! Right now, without this trick, what else can we do?”

“Anything is okay, but this trick is absolutely impossible!”

“Why not? Haven’t you already sacrificed a lot of people for the sake of Nine Regions? When you asked them to build the Sky Tower, did you really not think that they would do what they did? In the war in the Southern Heaven Region and the defense of Spirit Sword Mountain, even Spirit Sword Sect has already lost a third of its people! The errand boy who accompanied you up the mountain years ago was decapitated! Yue Yun, who took you to visit the Small Clear Sky Peak for the first time, already has her hands crippled… These are all people around you! You have always understood better than me about the principle of not being merciful in commanding an army! Why are you now being soft-hearted?”

“It’s fine if you tell me that I’m being soft-hearted. Calling me merciless in leading an army is also fine… Anyone can die, but you can’t.”

“I’m no more special than anyone else! I should have died two hundred years ago. I have lived long enough and I’ve experienced enough of watching people close to me die. If you want me to just stay here and watch the Nine Regions being cleaned by the Fallen Immortals, you might as well kill me now!”

“What about me? Haven’t I also experienced the tragedies of that year? Do you think I’m heartless and don’t feel pain? I crossed the worlds to return to Nine Regions, is it to see my beloved woman die? Wang Wu, there’s no need to talk about this nonsense… Even if I really refine you, how can I return to Nine Regions alone like a walking dead? You and I are one. Without either one, it’s not complete. Nine Regions do not need a broken Wang Lu.”

“But…”

“Your Ultimate Non-Phase Method will be completed soon and then it will become a fortress that will never fall. It is an indispensable part of the plan. So… stop talking stupid things like sacrificing yourself. If you really want to help, just be quiet.”

“… Wang Lu, the inner ring array of Spirit Sword Mountain has been broken.”

“I know.”

“Clear Sky Peak has been abandoned, and the Four Element Peak has also been lost.”

“I can see it.”

“Oh, even Non-Phase Peak has been brutally destroyed… But, the mechanism that you previously put on it came in handy and took away one Immortal.”

“Merely cannon fodder Immortal, it’s insignificant.”

“Now, they’re besieging the Misty Peak. The Junior Brothers and Sister in Heavenly Sword Hall are already fighting on the frontline… Hua Yun is injured.”

“I know.”

“Senior Brother Liu Xian is in danger! Ah, fortunately he escaped at the critical moment. But, his primordial spirit was seriously injured. I’m afraid…”

“I know! Stop telling the battle report to me! I can see it clearly myself! I can see every Daoist Friends who sacrificed themselves! Including those innocent civilians in Spirit Creek Town, and the friends who used to talk and laugh with us! I watched them die and watched as the Nine Regions slide into the abyss, but I have no other way! Nothing!”

”…”

“So, don’t talk about it anymore. Now in this situation, it’s… Huh?”

“What happened?”

“The synchronization rate of this giant Divine Weapon, it’s…”

——

“Senior Immortal Xiaoyao, the attack on Misty Peak is about to be launched. Although they retreat step by step, and still keep many people on the Stellar Peak, they have no chance.”

“Good, you guys have done a good job. Later on, I will report it to His Majesty.”

“Then I will say thank you for your kind words… Speaking of which, this battle is really easy and simple. The lowly species in the lower realm are indeed lowly.”

“Very well, I got it. You can go back now.”

“Yes.”

“… Huh, is it easy and simple? Yeah, indeed. Without you, there would be no suspense in this game. However, even up to this point, you haven’t realized it yet, I’m a bit disappointed. To increase the synchronization rate of the giant Divine Weapon, the most important thing is the sense of hopelessness that Sun Buping felt when he watched his comrades die, but he can’t do anything about it… In his later years, Sun Buping was completely disheartened and his despair has long been deep-rooted. Without realizing this, it’s impossible to perfectly synchronize with the giant Divine Weapon. And I have arranged the stage well for you… You wouldn’t be so stupid that you can’t feel it, right?”

“Report! Report Senior Immortal! The Immortal World sent a message saying that the remnant of the two-worlds passage and the space barrier of the Nine Regions seemed to have been pierced!”
