In the end times, many children bring more blessings. I pick up a goddess every day.

Su Qingyao stood on the observation deck on the 63rd floor of the Tower of Babel... Her fingertips slid across the water-like light screen... The screen was displaying the spatial structure of the 64th floor in real time...

She opened her red lips slightly... her tone was filled with a hint of playful arrogance: "Liu Yang... this level... is not something you can easily get through with your little cleverness..."

Before he finished speaking, the entire sixty-fourth floor of the Tower of Babel began to tremble violently. The trial field, originally constructed by the power of the stars, receded like a tide. In its place, a body of an ancient god stretched a thousand miles.

His skin was like dark golden rock... every wrinkle was bottomless... his chest rose and fell, spewing a gray-black mist wrapped in the power of a curse... bronze mechanical cores hovered at the joints of his limbs... this was the "Ancient God Remains Trial Field" that Su Qingyao had spent a hundred years cultivating to recreate...

The core design of this layer revolves around the "body of the ancient god"...a perfect fusion of mechanical engineering and ancient curses...the body of the ancient god is not a static place...but a living cage:

The Ancient God lies supine... His head is the "Abyss of Oblivion," where cursed energy is most concentrated... His chest is a "Heartbeat Maze" densely packed with traps... His abdomen is a "Corrosion Corridor" filled with acid... His limbs are "Tendon Paths" connecting various areas...

Each breath lasts exactly a quarter of an hour... When you inhale, all the cores of the mechanisms glow red... releasing paralyzing toxins; when you exhale, the glow turns blue... and moving lava cracks appear on the ground...

The pervasive gray-black mist will continuously erode the soul of the intruder... Every incense stick of time will trigger a "memory stripping"... If you can't resist it with spiritual power in time... at best, you will forget your own magical powers... at worst, you will become an unconscious walking corpse...

Su Qingyao deliberately strengthened the curse's interference with the "future deduction" ability... so that every time Liu Yang deduces, he may see a tampered false future...

The bronze cores scattered throughout the body are the key to cracking the code... Each core is engraved with a different star trajectory... It must be activated in a specific order during the blue light period of the Ancient God's exhalation... using energy of corresponding attributes...

But the core is surrounded by pressure plates disguised as skin textures... If you step on the wrong one, it will trigger a chain trap - poisoned bone spears will be shot from the joints... or the entire area will fall into gravity reversal...

Su Qingyao looked at Liu Yang, who had just stepped onto the 64th floor on the light screen...a cold smile appeared on her lips... She had additionally arranged a "Time Turbulence Array" at the heart of the Ancient God...as long as Liu Yang tried to activate the core...he would be caught in a space-time trap with alternating fast and slow flow rates...even if he had the ability to teleport...he would still be thrown into chaos by the drastic changes in spatial coordinates...

Liu Yang's figure appeared at the Ancient God's ankles... His black windbreaker swayed gently in the cursed mist... He had just found his footing when the ground suddenly shook violently - the Ancient God began to inhale...

The gray-black mist instantly became sticky... like countless tiny insects trying to burrow into his pores... tiny whispers echoed in his ears... that was the curse trying to strip away his memories...

"Shut up..." Liu Yang raised his hand... Light blue ice crystals condensed on his fingertips... The moment the ice crystals hit the ground, they exploded... The cold air spread out in a circular pattern with him as the center... Wherever it passed... The gray-black mist froze into translucent ice sculptures... Even the tendon plank road under his feet was covered with a smooth layer of ice...

Eternal Freeze not only freezes physical entities... it also stagnates the flow of energy... the cursed forces that attempt to invade his soul... the moment they come into contact with the icy surface of his body, they become like a frozen river... completely still...

He looked up at the bronze core suspended in the distance... The core was emitting a faint red light as the ancient god breathed... "Release poison when you inhale... Cracks appear in the ground when you exhale..." A hint of blue light flashed in Liu Yang's eyes... The ability to predict the future has quietly been activated...

Although the power of the curse interfered with the accuracy of his deduction... he still captured three key scenes: ten breaths later, the Ancient God began to exhale... the moment the blue light lit up... the pressure plate three miles northwest would trigger the bone spear trap;

A quarter of an hour later, when you inhale for the second time... corrosive mucus will fall from the blood vessels on the top of your head; and around the core where your heart is located... there will be an area with abnormal space-time fluctuations...

"Su Qingyao really put a lot of thought into this..." Liu Yang chuckled... His figure suddenly faded... The next second he appeared on a protruding bone a hundred meters away - this was a precise use of his teleportation ability... avoiding any possible pressure plates under his feet...

He didn't rush to activate the core... Instead, he stood high up and observed the structure of the entire ancient god's body... His eyes swept over the bottomless folds and holes... as if he was admiring a carefully designed work of art...

When the ancient god began to exhale... blue light flooded the earth like a tide... the ice shell under Liu Yang's feet reflected the faint blue light... he saw that the ground had indeed cracked... boiling magma was surging in the cracks... and those bronze cores were illuminated by the blue light... the star tracks on the surface became clearly visible. "The star tracks correspond to different energy properties... The Big Dipper shape requires the power of lightning to activate..." Liu Yang stretched out his right hand... subtle electric light lingered on his fingertips... the crackling current condensed into a miniature lightning in his palm...

The process of activating the first core was textbook-level precision... In the seventh breath after the blue light appeared... Liu Yang teleported to the Big Dipper-shaped core... avoiding the lava ejection that was triggered at the same time... He did not touch the core directly... Instead, he transformed the lightning in his palm into seven tiny electric currents... hitting the seven star points on the core respectively - this was the best time deduced from the future... too early would trigger the core's defense mechanism... too late would miss the energy resonance period of the blue light...

The moment the current was injected... the core hummed... the star tracks on the surface lit up... a slight vibration came from the ancient god's ankle... a hidden bone bridge extended from the folds... connecting to the calf... "It seems that activating the core can open up a new path..." Liu Yang stood on the bone bridge... looking at the surging magma cracks below... his eyes were calm...

But Su Qingyao's traps followed one after another... The moment he stepped onto the bone bridge... the entire bridge suddenly shook violently... The bone walls on both sides shot out dense bone spears... The surface of these bone spears was covered with dark green venom... It was obviously designed to target teleportation ability - even if Liu Yang teleported to avoid it, the venom would spread in the spatial fluctuations...

However, Liu Yang's response was beyond imagination... He did not choose to teleport... Instead, he took a deep breath... and unleashed the power of eternal freezing with all his strength... With him as the center... a circular ice wall instantly rose from the ground... The bone spear shot at the ice wall... and was instantly frozen in mid-air... The venom condensed into crystals the moment it touched the ice wall... What was even more ingenious... He condensed several ice spikes on the inside of the ice wall... The angles of the ice spikes were precisely calculated... just enough to direct the impact of the bone spear to the bone walls on both sides... and prevent the ice wall from being destroyed by continuous attacks...

"Interesting..." Su Qingyao raised her eyebrows slightly on the observation deck. She hadn't expected Liu Yang to come up with a strategy that combined defense and force dissipation in such a short time. But she didn't panic. She tapped her finger on the light screen and activated the "mirror mechanism" hidden in the ancient god's knee.

When Liu Yang broke through the ice wall and teleported to the knee area, six clones that looked exactly like him suddenly appeared before him. These clones not only had the same appearance and clothing, but could even use his eternal freezing and teleportation abilities. These were phantoms created by the mirror mechanism based on the intruder's aura, specifically designed to disrupt judgment. Even more tricky was that each clone had a different pressure plate under their feet. If you attacked the wrong clone, the corresponding trap would be triggered.

Liu Yang didn't hesitate at all... He stood still... closed his eyes... and suddenly a strong electric current erupted from his body... Purple lightning spread out like a spider web... This was not an attack... but rather a use of lightning's conductive properties to detect energy fluctuations - the real pressure plate would be connected to the energy veins of the ancient god's body... while the fake pressure plate under the mirror clone's feet had no energy flowing...

"Found it..." Liu Yang opened his eyes... His gaze locked onto the third clone on the right... Under the illumination of lightning... Only the pressure plate under that clone's feet emitted a faint energy halo... He did not teleport there... Instead, he snapped his fingers... A condensed lightning bolt shot out from the air... Accurately hitting that clone... The clone dissipated like foam... Revealing the pressure plate with the basalt pattern engraved underneath... The other clones triggered the trap the moment they came into contact with lightning... Magma and poisonous mist exploded in the distance... But it did not affect him at all...

As each core was activated, the ancient god's body began to change. The originally closed chest slowly opened, revealing the beating "heart" made of energy inside - that was the location of the last core and the final trap set by Su Qingyao.

When Liu Yang stepped into the chest area, the surrounding space suddenly began to distort. The ancient god's heartbeat became erratic, sometimes audible ten times a second, sometimes only once every half a minute. This was the "Time Turbulence Array," Su Qingyao's masterpiece. Here, the flow of time fluctuated randomly, causing teleportation abilities to deviate due to the instability of spacetime coordinates, potentially even teleporting the user right into the heart of the trap.

"Oh? Time magic?" Liu Yang observed the distorted light and shadows around him with great interest. He attempted to teleport, but as expected, the situation went awry. He had intended to move ten meters away, but was instead transported twenty meters to a spot where corrosive slime was dripping. He quickly used Eternal Freeze to freeze the slime, preventing it from corroding him.

Even more troubling was that his ability to predict the future was severely disrupted. He tried to deduce how to activate the core, but instead saw a dozen different futures: some showed him successfully activating the core, others saw him torn apart by temporal turbulence, and still others saw the core suddenly explode... These chaotic predictions would have left ordinary people at a loss, but Liu Yang discerned a pattern.
