I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Chapter 665 Li Xueru, now enlightened, will take you to retrieve the tower.

Jiang Chen was not in a hurry, and the Gu Lei Outer Tower had already been put away.

The Tianshan Snow Grass King and several mature snow grass plants were swaying not far away.

Under normal circumstances, Li Xueru would have noticed them long ago.

But now Li Xueru is deep in thought, and his observation of external affairs has greatly diminished.

Jiang Chen's words revealed a great deal of information, which could be used to fuel endless speculation.

If what Jiang Chen said is true, then his own world is just an insignificant island in the ocean.

Then what am I? This is the collapse of my beliefs, and the impact is extremely strong.

Jiang Chen knew that Li Xueru had to figure this out himself. Once he understood and accepted it, it would be fine.

A moment later, Li Xueru's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked in a low voice, "What about those superhumans?"

Jiang Chen said, "As far as I know, the Transcendent Ones are the strongest beings in our world. But if we look at it from the perspective of those outside the realm, it's hard to say."

Li Xueru said in a low voice, "I once saw another continent in the deep space. The two continents are separated by a canyon, which is about a hundred meters wide."

"Back then, I was level 91, and together with Lao Hong and Lao Yan, we just couldn't get past that canyon."

"Later, Fan Huang told us that the canyon was called the Valley of the Gods, and only those who were gods could cross it."

"It was at that time that Lao Hong and I made a vow that we would definitely reach the level of a god."

"It seems that even the super-gods aren't that strong. Our vows were too low, and our goals weren't ambitious enough."

Jiang Chen said, "If you take it one step at a time and make sure each step is steady, you can go far."

Li Xueru chuckled and looked at Jiang Chen approvingly, "You're right. As long as you take each step steadily, you'll naturally go far."

"In that case, let's take it one step at a time and see where the end is."

"Whether I'm inside or outside the boundary, as long as I'm strong enough, what difference does it make?"

Li Xueru's aura changed, with the aura of a level 96 figure surging forth, along with a faint power of law enveloping him.

The unruly yet composed Li Xueru has returned.

Li Xueru said, "Don't tell Lao Hong about this; that guy has a low tolerance for stress."

Jiang Chen nodded, "I understand. Actually, you'll find out when you become a half-step god. I'm just telling you in advance."

Li Xueru said, "That official told you about this, didn't he?"

"Yes."

Since Li Xueru believed that Antares had told him everything, he was happy to admit it and pin it all on Antares.

Li Xueru warned again, "Don't tell anyone about this, don't mention a single word about it."

Jiang Chen nodded; he understood.

Li Xueru breathed a long sigh of relief. Then he let out a soft exclamation and flicked his finger, "The King of Tianshan Snow Grass?"

Jiang Chen nodded, "This was given to me by the Great God of Tianshan."

The Great God of Tianshan?

Li Xueru was taken aback again. How did Jiang Chen get in touch with a god-level deity again?

A god-level deity is a near-god among humans, whose status is extremely high.

But thinking about Antares, it doesn't seem so bad anymore.

If even Antares can be spoken to, then what are those god-level deities?

Li Xueru felt that he couldn't look at Jiang Chen with normal eyes.

Jiang Chen's experiences have far exceeded his imagination.

Jiang Chen recounted his deal with the Heavenly Mountain God, but only revealed what needed to be said, omitting much information.

Jiang Chen didn't mention a word about that great battle in ancient times.

Li Xueru's attention was once again drawn to the Tianshan Snow Grass King. He never imagined that such a magical thing could exist in the world.

As for the effectiveness, we really need to test it thoroughly before we can know. Jiang Chen said, "If we want to cultivate enough Tianshan Snow Grass, we need a space where we can plant the snow grass and also carry it with us."

"I wonder where else I can find something like the Dragon Tower that resembles the teacher's."

Without a second thought, Li Xueru laughed and said, "I was originally planning to tell you about it later. The Demon-Slaying Tower, one of the three towers of the Divine Dragon Empire, has this function."

"The Divine Dragon Empire has three mythical-level towers: the Trial Tower, the Divine Dragon Tower, and the Demon-Slaying Tower. Each tower is mythical-level and has its own space with its own functions."

"The Trial Tower can open up infinite space and simulate derivatives."

"The Divine Dragon Tower possesses teleportation power and can also be used to set up formations."

"The Demon-Slaying Tower is the main offensive tower and has the strongest attack power among the three towers."

“You’ve been inside the Ancient Thunder Tower, so you should be able to tell that the Three Towers of the Divine Dragon are all modeled after the Ancient Thunder Tower, but their functions are all different, which is very strange.”

Jiang Chen never expected that the Three Towers of the Divine Dragon had such an origin.

He knew all too well how high the level of Gureta was, and it was impossible to succeed in imitating it.

If you can imitate even a little bit of the basics, that's already considered very good.

Jiang Chen said, "The Demon-Slaying Tower seems to be located in Fortress Nine."

Li Xueru laughed heartily, “That’s right, it is indeed in Fortress Nine. Unfortunately, for hundreds of years, no one has been able to gain its recognition. It is only in Fortress Nine according to the will of its previous master.”

"Originally, when you became a god, Lao Hong and I planned to take you to Fortress No. 9 and try to get you to take it down."

"However, your soul level is already sufficient, so it should be fine."

Jiang Chen's heart skipped a beat. "If I take the Demon-Slaying Tower, what will happen to Fortress No. 9?" Li Xueru scoffed. "What do you mean, what will happen? Our human race is strong enough. Whether we have the Demon-Slaying Tower or not, the effect is about the same. In the past three hundred years, the Demon-Slaying Tower has never been used."

"Come on, let me take you to get the tower!"

With a wave of his hand, Li Xueru sent the Divine Dragon Tower soaring into the air, scattering its light.

Li Xueru casually released a wisp of law, and thousands of array runes flashed together, instantly forming a teleportation array.

Li Xueru could create formations with a wave of his hand before, but not as naturally as he does now.

After reaching level 96, the power to wield the laws becomes much stronger than before.

The next second, the formation activated, carrying Jiang Chen and Li Xueru towards the alien battlefield.

Thousands of streaks of light swirled back before his eyes. Jiang Chen recalled the first time he rode a teleportation array and felt uncomfortable seeing these streaks of light. Now, however, he could appreciate them as a beautiful sight. The change was so great that he felt somewhat emotional.

Just two minutes later, the two appeared outside Fortress Nine.

This place is heavily guarded, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach.

Besides the garrison inside the fortress, only those with the rank of at least a six-star colonel are eligible to enter.

Here, even the weakest are top-tier professionals who have completed their third job advancement.

This place is closest to the abyss exit, has the largest number of demons, and is the highest level of demons. It is the first line of defense for the Divine Dragon Empire.

Players below level 70 who come here and encounter demons are guaranteed to get their heads chopped off.

Jiang Chen put on his sergeant badge and flew over with Li Xueru.

The protective array of Fortress No. 9 is in constant operation.

As the two approached the formation, they immediately attracted the attention of the guards inside the fortress.

The formation actively emitted two beams of light that landed on the two men, and the military badges on their bodies immediately responded, shining brightly.

Both were five-star generals, their purple light shimmering with nobility.

The light on the array instantly turned purple, echoing the sergeant's badge.

Immediately afterwards, the bells inside the fortress rang out, and a magnificent purple beam of light shot straight into the sky.

The purple beam of light represents a divine general, and the five consecutive chimes of the bell represent the five stars.

The arrival of the five-star generals immediately alarmed the high-ranking military officials inside the fortress.

Five-Star Divine General – this is currently the highest military rank for the human race.

Currently, there are no six-star generals among the human race; five-star generals are considered the most powerful.

Li Xueru and Jiang Chen entered the formation without hindrance. Li Xueru explained, "The sages who built the fortress established a military rank system."

"Different ranks of the military have different powers and privileges."

“You are now a five-star general. Although you don’t have any real power, in terms of status, you are no less than anyone else.”

Jiang Chen understood what Li Xueru meant; he was being told not to be too polite and to be more assertive later.

He understood that status was only one aspect; sufficient strength was also essential.

Just like before, although he had a status comparable to a god-level expert, his strength was inferior.

In the event of a real conflict, status is actually not very useful.

Inside the fortress, Wang Lin, Wei Cang, and Xia Shize flew out together.

Fortress Nine was their territory, and Ye Chenshi was the only other place there. When Wang Lin saw Li Xueru, a hint of hostility flashed in his eyes. The two had never gotten along, belonging to different factions and never getting along.

Then he saw Jiang Chen, and as if he had thought of something, his eyes filled with intense hostility.

His eyes held a hint of hostility, but he still had to put on an act in public, forcing an awkward smile. "Lord Confucian God, General Jiang, your presence is an honor. Please forgive my rudeness!"
