Age of Calamity in Swallowed Star

Chapter 194: The Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda! [Second Update, Seeking Subscriptions]

Caro Empire.

Nolan Mountain Family Estate, conference room.

Seated in the main position, Lin Ye flipped through the wealth records of the Nolan Mountain Family, his expression somewhat indifferent.

He discovered that the total assets of the entire Nolan Mountain Family didn't even match the amount of money he spent at the Qulong Star slave market.

The most valuable assets were only Nolan Mountain, Bai Caro, and a few other Universe-level powerhouses.

As for the rest, only the three thousand Nolan Guards were somewhat noteworthy.

Closing the ledger, Lin Ye had a grasp of about seventy to eighty percent of Nolan Mountain's affairs.

"From now on, I order you to cease all previous business activities, gradually begin to launder your operations, and your Nolan Guards will become the Galaxy Guardians, primarily responsible for safeguarding Earth, understand?"

Lin Ye looked at the strongest member of the Nolan Mountain Family and instructed.

"As you command! My master."

The Universe-level Nolans, having been subjected to Lin Ye's 'Soul Calamity' secret technique, all wore serious expressions.

Everyone regarded Lin Ye's words as divine commands, not daring to disobey in the slightest.

"In addition, notify the fleets stationed abroad to gather in the Milky Way Galaxy, Babata will send you the coordinates later."

"Yes, Lord Lin Ye!" Hearing Lin Ye's words, Little Devil Babata saluted righteously.

"Also, if the Caro Empire or the Black Dragon Mountain Empire inquire, you should know how to answer, right?" As he spoke, Lin Ye's eyes narrowed slightly, landing on Nolan Mountain.

"We have already prepared our response," Nolan Mountain replied respectfully.

"Lord Lin Ye, there's actually no need for such trouble," Babata flew to Lin Ye's ear, offering what he considered a good suggestion: "As long as Lord Huo Rong makes a trip to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's royal family, everything will be resolved!"

"No, no, no! You're thinking too simply!" Lin Ye shook his head lightly, a strange look appearing on his face.

"You've forgotten, Nolan Mountain also has the identity of a 'Giant Axe Warrior'?"

"I understand! This matter isn't for the Black Dragon Mountain Empire to see, but for the Giant Axe Fighting Arena to see."

Babata revealed a look of sudden realization.

"Although it has the suspicion of burying one's head in the sand, at least we've covered our ears, presumably the Giant Axe Fighting Arena won't bother with us over a mere Universe-level," Lin Ye smiled, a hint of ease on his face.

He wasn't worried about these things.

Otherwise, Nolan Mountain in the original storyline wouldn't have been forced to go to the outer domain battlefield for trials at the Universe-level, and even after breaking through to the third level of the Realm Lord, he was still dealt with by Luo Feng.

"Consider it me clearing an obstacle for City Lord Luo in advance, I hope he'll appreciate it in the future!" Lin Ye suppressed his smile, his gaze sweeping across everyone's faces, finally landing on Chan'er.

"Chan'er, do you have anything to add?"

"I don't have anything to add, but there's one thing Young Master you should know."

Chan'er thought for a moment, looked at Lin Ye, and opened her red lips slightly, saying, "Actually, it's not a big deal even if the Giant Axe Fighting Arena knows about this."

"If you reveal your identity, even their higher-ups will turn a blind eye, let alone such a trivial matter that won't even reach the middle and high levels of the Giant Axe Fighting Arena."

"Mm. I understand," Lin Ye nodded slightly.

He also understood this point, which was why he chose to use such methods on the Nolan Mountain Family.

"With the hidden dangers of the Nolan Mountain Family resolved, only the Golden Horned Beast remains as a minor problem in recent decades."

Lin Ye thought to himself, his gaze sweeping over the several people present again, a smile spreading across his lips.

With a group of Nolan Mountain powerhouses as servants, let alone one Golden Horned Beast egg, even if a hundred came, they could be smashed one by one!

"As for City Lord Luo's future possession… Hehehehe!"

At this thought, a smile crept onto the corner of Lin Ye's mouth.

As long as he could rise rapidly, he could bring City Lord Luo to explore the universe together in the future.

With him, Lin Ye, as a strong backer, City Lord Luo wouldn't be short of a share of the spoils.

"Mount Seated Guest, Star Tower, Nine Calamity Manual, Lie Yuan Technique… It's good to encounter them naturally, but if not, it's my own fate."

As soon as he thought of Luo Feng, countless ideas popped into Lin Ye's mind.

"What belongs to me… is the best! Just like when I encountered Venerable Fenchen's trial, and finally passed it, and the key that allowed me to transmigrate to this world…!!"

Suddenly, Lin Ye's whole body shook violently, he thought of a very crucial thing—the mysterious and extraordinary blood-colored giant tower deep within his sea of consciousness.

"So, all of this was brought about by this Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda."

Past memories flashed through Lin Ye's mind like a movie, making him feel like he had grasped certain blind spots.

So that's how it is!!

Suddenly, Lin Ye seemed to understand many things.

"Chan'er, I need to enter the training room, please take these people out for me!" Lin Ye said to Chan'er, word by word, solemnly.

The latter seemed to see Lin Ye's seriousness, nodded her head lightly, and then cleared the entire conference room together with Huo Rong.

In less than a minute, the room was empty.

Only Lin Ye remained alone in the large conference room.

"Hoo hoo!!"

Taking a few breaths of air lightly, Lin Ye then separated a wisp of consciousness to enter the depths of the sea of consciousness.

This time, he wanted to truly understand this mysterious blood-colored giant tower that was activated along with his spiritual power!

Consciousness quickly entered the sea of consciousness.

Lin Ye looked up at the twelve-layered giant pagoda engraved with mysterious golden patterns.

For a moment, he felt a sense of being in another world.

In his memory, he had taken the initiative to make a wish to this tower, and finally came to this world.

At the beginning, Lin Ye chose not the 'peaceful' era of Luo Feng's birth.

But the early stage of the Great Nirvana, plagued by monsters and viruses, full of crises.

Lin Ye silently gave a thumbs up to his choice at that time.

He didn't regret his choice, in fact, he was even more fortunate that he chose to descend at the beginning of the Great Nirvana.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have met Li Yunfei, the head of the War Dragon Regiment, nor would he have met several captains of the elite team.

Whether it was Lu Chen, Qi Ling, Yang Xiao, or the countless heroes who were willing to die to fight for that glimmer of peace for future generations.

Lin Ye was glad to be born in the same era as them.

This also made him think of a sentence——

If you have a bright and brilliant tomorrow, naturally someone will die in order to exchange it!

"Since I have the courage to come here, I must accept everything in the present! No! Fate is just my stepping stone, I want to step by step to the highest!"

"Even surpass City Lord Luo!!"

Seemingly thinking of himself who made the wish at the beginning, Lin Ye's heart became more and more firm.

Then, his consciousness, full of endless ambition and confidence, directly touched the body of the blood-colored giant tower.

Buzz buzz buzz!!

The moment the two came into contact, the tower body trembled slightly, and then burst out with a dazzling crimson light.

The ultimate red was as pure and mysterious as when the blood-colored giant tower descended.

In the entire sea of consciousness, the nine light spheres representing the ninth-order spiritual power of the planetary level also stopped all rotation under the illumination of the crimson light.

At this moment, time and space seemed to be stagnant.

Everything disappeared, only Lin Ye's consciousness and the blood-colored giant tower existed forever!

In an instant, the exploding crimson light directly enveloped Lin Ye's consciousness, and then disappeared.

When it reappeared, it was already in the first layer of the tower body that Lin Ye had never entered!

"This… this is the interior of the blood-colored giant tower," Lin Ye said in surprise, looking around, empty and vast.

An incomparably vicissitudes feeling came over him, making Lin Ye feel that the existence of this blood-colored giant tower far exceeded the countless times of Venerable Fenchen's existence time.

A faint red mist slowly rose in this boundless space.

At a certain moment, the originally gentle mist seemed to be stimulated by something, and suddenly rolled up.

In Lin Ye's eyes, the tumbling and twisting mist finally formed four striking characters——"Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda"

"Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda, is this the real name of the blood-colored giant tower?" Lin Ye murmured in a low voice, in this place isolated from time and space, as if knowing the biggest secret.

The big characters condensed from the thick mist disappeared after ten seconds.

What replaced it was an opalescent light group emitting a hazy halo.

Among them, something was faintly being conceived, and Lin Ye could clearly perceive the vitality inside.

At this moment, this opalescent light group seemed to become the center of the world, attracting all of Lin Ye's attention.

With curiosity and expectation, Lin Ye's wisp of consciousness quickly approached.

However, just as his consciousness was about to touch this light group.

An unexpected change occurred.

Whoosh!!

The dazzling light that erupted suddenly enveloped him again.

And at this moment, Lin Ye also saw the existence in this light group.

"This… this is actually…"

"…"

Almost at the same moment.

A very distant world was experiencing a far-reaching event.

The night sky on May 4th was cloudless, and the stars were dim.

A round of cold crescent moon hung high in the night sky.

In the night scene with the lights on,

Next to an inconspicuous prefabricated house stood a long-haired girl wearing a safety helmet, a mask, and a protective vest.

The gentle night wind blew her long hair, and her thin and tall figure looked a little thin in the night.

A delicate blood-colored small pagoda was placed in front of her.

"This legend is actually true… I'm so lucky!"

She squatted in front of the crystal clear blood-colored small pagoda, her quiet and beautiful eyes full of excitement and expectation: "The origin of things that can realize any wish in the legend… Great… Brother Lin Ye… Wait for me for a while, I'll be right there…"

She reached out and carefully held up the small pagoda.

The bright candlelight was burning, illuminating her outline.

The girl rolled up her sleeves and gently wiped the tower body.

In an instant.

A cloud-like smoke spewed out from the tip of the tower, quickly filling the girl's body.

In mid-air, a large mass of white mist slowly condensed into a slender figure.

A pair of indifferent eyes ruthlessly and coldly looked at the girl below.

"I didn't expect that in such a short period of time, another human found me. May I ask what your wish is? I can fulfill any three wishes for you."

A low and solemn voice emanated from this phantom.

The girl raised her head and carefully looked at this face.

"Are you… the tower spirit of the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda?"

"What's your name?"

"Who I am is not important, what's important is that I can help you realize your wish!" The phantom of the mist made a cold voice, unapproachable.

"Really? Can any wish be fulfilled?" The girl asked weakly, "Then let me have nine hundred and ninety-nine more wishes, can I?"

"… I'm sorry I can't do it!" The phantom shook its head, seeming a little helpless.

Girl: "…"

This phantom slowly said: "I know the wish in your heart, why don't I say it, and you listen to see if it's right!"

"Okay!" The girl nodded.

"Your first wish is to go to the world of 'Swallowing the Starry Sky' and give Lin Ye help?"

"Yes, that's right." The girl nodded in surprise.

"Okay, your wish will be fulfilled."

"But there is one thing I need to tell you first."

Girl: "What's the matter??"

"The place where he is located is a bit special, and cannot bear all of my power, and most of my power will be consumed in the dimensional shuttle, and there will be very little left."

The white mist phantom paused, and continued: "Even if I can give… I'm afraid I can only give him a little bit of help."

"But my power can recover as he gets stronger, this result… can you accept it??"

"I can accept it!!" The girl nodded heavily, and said with a happy face: "As long as there is help."

Then, this phantom said again: "Your second wish is that your relatives, friends, and many book friends can be free from disease and disaster, and have a happy family, right?"

She couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, you guessed very accurately!"

"Okay, your second wish will also be fulfilled."

"Thank you!"

"Um." The phantom responded, and said again: "Your third wish is to travel to 'Swallowing the Starry Sky', right?"

"Yes, I have always had this plan!"

The phantom said: "Okay, your third wish is about to be realized… but I have a doubt."

"You say." She smiled casually.

"From the bottom of your heart, I found that the three things you look forward to most do not include wealth that can rival a country, unparalleled power, or endless life. Don't you want these?" The phantom asked.

"Well…"

A pensive expression appeared on her face, and after thinking for a while, she said: "This world is pretty good, I just want to live a stable and ordinary life, I don't have too many extravagant demands."

Phantom: "…"

The vast white mist swayed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Since these are all the wishes in your heart, then I will fulfill them for you one by one, but the third wish may be a bit difficult."

"Difficult?" The girl's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"That world is being watched by several supreme beings, and the set order and rules, even if I am as powerful… I can only send one person over countless times!"

"Therefore, your third wish may fail, can you accept it?"

The girl seemed to grasp the key point, her beautiful eyes lighting up as she said, "It's only a 'possibility' of failing, which means there's still a chance!"

"That's right, there's a chance!" The white mist swayed as the illusory figure gently nodded.

"Because in a short period of time, I can't send two lives to the same time and space."

Upon hearing this, she was immediately stunned and asked, "What do you mean by not being able to send them over completely?"

"During the crossing, you may temporarily forget some memories about me and this world."

The girl fell silent.

"Can I recover them?"

The illusory figure gently shook its head: "I can fabricate a false memory for you, but I can't restore your original memory, unless... you can become a Void Realm powerhouse through your own strength."

"At that time, you will be able to awaken a small portion of my power."

"Becoming a Void True God... is the only way to restore my memory?"

The girl murmured, her mind quickly flashing through the plot of 'Swallowing the Starry Sky'.

Even a powerful race like the humans only had a few True God powerhouses.

"In countless past epochs... I have sent many talented geniuses from countless time and spaces, the highest achievement being only God Emperor... but they have never been able to take it a step further!"

"If they can't reach that Primal Space, they will never be able to find my main body, and it will be difficult to restore all my power."

The illusory figure sighed softly, and then said:

"And once they die, the traces of their existence will be completely erased... Even I can't revive them."

"Therefore, even if I try my best, I can only send you to the Origin Continent... You can wait there for Lin Ye to arrive!"

"I have a premonition that he will come to see you soon!"

"Hmm!?" The girl's beautiful eyes sparkled with unprecedented brilliance: "Really?"

"It's true, but it also means that you will start cultivating from the lowest life form on the Origin Continent, until... Lin Ye arrives."

"Are you willing to try such a big risk?"

The illusory figure stared at the working-girl-like girl in front of him, somewhat puzzled.

However, he could feel the strong desire emanating from her.

"I... am willing!" The girl's answer was firm and decisive, without any hesitation.

"Okay, I also want him to come sooner, he also carries my concerns, so... let's wait for Lin Ye in the Origin Continent."

"Since you are so determined... then give yourself a name, as a brand new beginning!"

Looking at the increasingly deep night, the girl's eyes flashed with firm brilliance, and she said: "Even if I go against the heavens and experience thousands of tribulations and dangers, I will find Lin Ye."

"Why not call myself... Ni Qianjie (Against Thousand Tribulations)?"

"Good! Qianjie Qianjie, it's exactly the same as my sister's name." The illusory figure murmured in a voice that only he could hear.

The next moment, he waved his hand gently.

The night wind blew, and a huge mass of white mist swayed gently.

Immediately, the blood-colored small tower burst out with brilliant red light, enveloping her whole body.

When the red light dissipated, everything disappeared without a trace...
