Tower Defense: Public Enemy

Chapter 568 Ascension

The four altars of Tianji Star have always been the highest secrets of Tianji Star, and even the starry universe. They have existed for an extremely long time, so long that they existed even before the birth of interstellar civilization.

Countless years ago, they had another name: the Four Pillars of Heaven!

"The four pillars of heaven, supporting the highest heavens, must not be lost!"

Sonic squinted, activated his communication device, and issued an order on the Supreme Council's internal channel: "The Beacon Mountain Mystery Guest is suspected to be an ancient taboo. His existence is enough to threaten the Supreme Council, and even the entire Star Alliance. I, Tuskar Sonic, in my capacity as Chairman of the Supreme Council, hereby inform the Star Alliance that without eliminating this taboo, civilization cannot continue. Please don your armor and prepare for a desperate battle!"

Sonic's orders were quickly relayed throughout the planet Celestial, and all the high-ranking members of the Supreme Council realized the seriousness of the situation.

Moments later, in the center of the Great Hidden Sea of ​​Tianji Star, huge waves surged into the sky, and a massive steel fortress began to rise.

That is the Star Realm Teleportation Hub of Tianji Star. This teleportation hub is hidden beneath the sea and has not been opened for more than three thousand years. It is as large as a continent. Its function is to connect the world-ruling stars of the 36 star realms under the jurisdiction of the Star Alliance after it is opened, so as to realize large-scale instantaneous teleportation.

It is an incredibly large and complex teleportation hub, one of the most important strategic facilities on Tianji Star. When operating at maximum power, it is capable of instantly teleporting planets with diameters of tens of thousands of kilometers to distances of more than ten thousand light-years.

The reason why this teleportation hub has not been opened for more than three thousand years is that maintaining its stable operation requires an extremely large amount of energy. The energy is so large that even using stars as power sources would be difficult to support it. A single large-scale interdimensional teleportation would be enough to extinguish several stars.

Therefore, this teleportation hub will never be activated except in an emergency.

But at this moment, the teleportation hub has been activated.

It wasn't because of that infamous villain, but because of the mysterious visitor on Lighthouse Hill!

Despite Tianji Star entering the highest level of strategic alert, and despite all the powerful figures in Tianji Star and the 36 star realms under its teleportation jurisdiction being alarmed, Lei Chi remained seated on Lighthouse Mountain, his face calm and composed, his gaze piercing through hundreds of kilometers to land on a blue-skinned figure.

"This guy actually came! He's really courting death!"

The person Lei Chi was referring to was naturally Blue Park, the leader of the Vedas.

Blue Parker flew at an extremely fast speed, and in no time he reached the top of Lighthouse Mountain.

"Where is the unification?!"

Blue Parker shouted, and at that moment he saw the Great Tigers entrenched around the mountaintop, as well as the combatants being suppressed by the Great Tigers.

Lei Chi looked up at him and said loudly, "Do whatever you want, and stop making a fuss!"

"You are the unifier!"

Blue Parker landed fearlessly near Thunder Pool, but the surrounding Great Tigers, under Thunder Pool's will, did not attack him.

Lei Chi remained seated, offering no reply. In his view, this cult leader was somewhat abnormal, and he was curious about what this guy would do.

"I'll give you two choices!"

Blue Parker declared righteously, "First, recall your apostles, repent, and promise never to easily start a killing again. Then I will call it quits with you today!"

"You're giving me a choice?"

Lei Chi looked at Blue Parker, who had a serious expression on his face, and found it somewhat amusing.

Even though he has sent out four groups of believers, he is not without fighting power. He has three great universes as his foundation, and if necessary, he can draw on the power of the universe from them to unleash various means.

Lei Chi felt that even if he sat still and did not fight back, letting this blue-skinned cult leader attack him, he probably wouldn't be able to hurt him even if he worked himself to death.

His life form has far exceeded the understanding of conventional life. If we really have to count, he is a fifteen-dimensional being!

Space has three dimensions: up and down, front and back, left and right; time has three dimensions: past, present, and future; energy has two dimensions: creation and destruction; matter has two dimensions: positive order and anti-entropy; life has two dimensions: death and activity; and the soul has three dimensions: annihilation, dwelling, and drifting.

After observing the Eye of the Universe, fifteen dimensions were born within Lei Chi's body. However, these fifteen dimensions varied in depth, and some could be expanded.

In the future, if he observes more of the mysteries of the universe, these fifteen dimensions will be expanded.

Moreover, the dimensions of its life forms can be enhanced and increased.

For example, adding the dimension of "cards". By observing the cards "True Greatsword God General" and "Nuclear Powered Sword Immortal", Lei Chi has already sensed this dimension, but it is not yet enough to be born within him.

These dimensions are the foundation of the universe, or its coordinates, and the source of the unified divinity of the Leichi universe.

Therefore, to harm the Thunder Pool, one must use power capable of destroying these dimensions; to put it simply, it must be power capable of destroying the universe.

Lei Chi boldly estimates that Blue Parker doesn't exist!

So, to put it bluntly, Lei Chi regarded him as an ant and was not afraid of him in the slightest.

Blue Parker continued, "Fine, I'll give you a choice! The second one is that I declare war on you. I will fight with all my might, even if it means being shattered to pieces and my soul is annihilated!"

"Oh!" Lei Chi nodded. "Then I choose option two: declare war on me!"

"Are you... truly so stubborn?"

"Yes, I am beyond redemption. Declare war on me!"

"If that's the case, then I will ignite my divine soul and challenge you to a battle!"

As Lan Parker spoke, his body glowed, and a seven-eyed Dharma image quickly materialized behind him.

Lei Chi, taking it all as a bit of fun, said, "Come on, come on, make your move against me. I'll give you a hundred moves!"

"Arrogant!"

Blue Parker roared, then unleashed his power, activating his Dharma Form and lightning to strike the Thunder Pool with all his might.

The leader of the Vedas is quite powerful. When he fights, the world changes color. He can tear through space, blast through the earth, and unleash spherical lightning with a diameter of over a kilometer.

Lei Chi estimated that he had the ability to crush an asteroid with his bare hands, but this level of strength was completely incapable of harming Lei Chi.

He endured all the attacks in the Thunder Pool without retaliating. Under his deliberate protection, Lighthouse Mountain remained unmoved, and not even a single blade of grass or tree on it was damaged.

Two hours later, Lampack exhausted all his strength. The Dharma image behind him dissipated, and he became skin and bones. He staggered and fell from mid-air.

This guy didn't hold back at all, and after two hours he was completely exhausted and out of breath.

Lei Chi could sense that his life was rapidly fading away; without him even lifting a finger, he would die completely in a moment.

"You're such a weirdo!" Lei Chi said sincerely. "You actually worked yourself to death! If I didn't know your personality, I would probably suspect that you were trying to scam someone. It's like you were deliberately seeking death."

At this moment, Blue Parker was having difficulty speaking. He looked at the Thunder Pool, but his eyes were clear. After holding back for a while, he slowly uttered a few words: "At least, I dared to take action. I... have not dishonored my faith. I... will be guided by the Lord of the Vedas to escape the sea of ​​suffering and enter the eternal, peaceful, and beautiful capital."

Lei Chi laughed, "There's certainly no way the Lord of the Vulture Tower can guide you. Would you like mine?"

Blue Parker remained silent, instead sitting cross-legged and awaiting death.

"Interesting. I've never seen anyone so eager for death. Unfortunately, you've angered me, so dying won't be easy for you."

As he spoke, Lei Chi pointed his finger, and the magic gourd appeared at his fingertip. Its size was similar to his palm, and the gourd's stopper was already open, with its mouth aimed at Blue Parker.

"If you were in the realm of gods, you would surely be an excellent fanatic. Now, as punishment for angering me, you will be banished to my universe to witness life and destruction!"

After saying this, Lei Chi had a thought, and Lan Parker, who was sitting cross-legged, turned into a beam of light and was put into the magic gourd.

The magic gourd is now connected to the Thunder Pool universe. Blue Parker was taken into the magic gourd, but he was not refined into the Primordial Chaos Qi. Instead, he entered the fourth universe within the Thunder Pool.

Lei Chi has not yet named this fourth universe, nor does he have a direction for its laws. However, Lei Chi intends to first create a universal universe framework within it, and once it is stable, he can introduce the laws of the universe at any time.

Therefore, this fourth universe is still in a state of chaos. Although there are acupoints and stars that can be observed, they are in the void and are merely conceptual forms.

But when Blue Parker arrived in this fourth universe, his life ceased to flow.

This was Lei Chi using his cosmic power to reverse his life.

Lei Chi believes this guy has potential for development.

Blue Parker was bewildered, and just as he was at a loss, he suddenly saw a sight he would never forget.

He saw the primordial chaos, the colossal chaotic spirit, the axe that split the heavens and earth, and the birth of the world.

"Where...where is this? What happened there?"

Blue Parker was unusually shocked; the image of the Chaos Giant was imprinted on his soul and lingered for a long time.

Suddenly, he felt as if he had seen the ultimate secret of the universe, and the shock was even greater.

"For the sake of unification, I have banished you here indefinitely. If you have time, you may study this scripture; it is far better than worshipping the Lord of the Vedas!"

Lei Chi's voice rang out, and at the same time, a book slowly fell in front of Lan Parker.

Blue Parker glanced at the book's cover and saw the words "Excerpts from the Neurotic: Faith and the Art of Faith" in large print.

"If you succeed in practicing this scripture, your offense may be considered a pilgrimage, and your sins may be forgiven. Take heed of this!"

Lei Chi's voice rang out again, and Blue Parker, upon hearing it, suddenly felt somewhat at a loss.

On Lighthouse Hill, Lei Chi smiled.

He banished Blue Parker to his own inner universe, as if to conduct a fun experiment.

He was given a classic text on the path to divinity, which Lei Chi had specially selected to explain in detail the power of faith and the techniques of faith that could break through it.

Lei Chi was very much looking forward to seeing if this guy would abandon his current beliefs after he cultivated the Degree Nerve.

Of course, this guy might also lack nerve control.

Then let's just lock him up in the fourth universe. Whether he lives or dies, at the very least he'll turn into a wisp of dust.

A moment later, Lei Chi suddenly sensed something and looked to the north.

The pioneering quantum computer issued a report: "Ding, a super-energy individual has been detected. Its exact combat strength is difficult to estimate. [Imagination] and [Heavenly Wrath] are blocked and cannot proceed! The removal of Anchor Point Four has been thwarted!"

"Hmm?" Lei Chi frowned.

There are actually hidden masters on this Tianji Star.

He could vaguely sense that about 300,000 kilometers to the north, [Imagination] and [Heavenly Wrath] were blocked.

Lei Chi was well aware of the strength of [Imagination] and [Heavenly Wrath]. [Imagination] was a mount, but it was rather weak and could be said to have no combat power. However, the God-Locking Coffin it pulled was extraordinary, capable of forcibly collecting external objects, even defensive towers in the God Realm.

[Heavenly Wrath] goes without saying; it is an existence even more powerful than the Heavenly King.

Lei Chi thought these two were the safest and wouldn't run into any trouble since they were traveling together. However, he didn't expect that while the other cosmic spirits were all fine, they were about to have a disaster.

And what caused all of this, or rather what blocked the flow of imagination and divine wrath, seems to be just one person.

"A single person can actually withstand [Imagination] and [Divine Wrath], he is not to be underestimated. His combat power is probably even stronger than that of the Heavenly King! Is there such a person on Tianji Star?"

Lei Chi couldn't help but be curious.

He sensed that [Imagination] and [Heavenly Wrath] were not damaged, only their path was blocked. But even so, the person blocking their path was no ordinary person.

"Ding, detection information, comprehensive analysis: [Heavenly Wrath] and [Imagination] have been blocked outside the Ascension Base. There is an 88.96% chance that they are legendary beings from the Ascension Era: the Ascension Grand Venerable."

"Ding, collecting more information. The Ascended Great Venerable, also known as the Holy Mother of Ascension, is the founding ancestor of the Ascension Sect. She has been buried for at least ten thousand years. More information is missing..."

"Ascension Grand Venerable, interesting!" Lei Chi said, "Calculate the probability of [Heavenly Wrath] and [Imagination] completing the mission."

"Ding! Based on calculations, due to the obstruction of the path, the probability of failure for the [Heavenly Wrath] and [Imagination] missions is 94%, while the possibility of delaying their completion is only 6%!"

"I understand, so I'll have to go to the North myself! Ascending to Heaven, that's a strange name."

Lei Chi stood up.

"Lighthouse Mountain is an excellent place to observe the movement of Tianji Star, but unfortunately, we can no longer sit here quietly. Let's ascend to heaven and take a trip there ourselves."

Lei Chi said calmly, then took a step and moved hundreds of kilometers.

The "Great Tigers" on Lighthouse Mountain vanished with a roar as Lei Chi left, and the combatants they had suppressed were freed!
