Heavenly Opposers

'Just what is this tower?'

Xiao questioned himself, getting more and more weirded out by it as he started to learn more information, from what he had gathered, the beings that belongs to a world that was destroyed were gathered as citizens within the tower, in return for living their life in there, they lost the right to never leave the tower.

They and their descendants shall never live the tower, spending their life there, the only way to break that hellish cycle is to kill the successors of Constellations that appear to climb the tower to the top,

'Just how many trials are there.....?'

There were the 'tutorial' trials created by the constellations for their successors to go through, such that they would gain an extreme understanding of their power and receive treasure, from what Xiao has gathered, once a successor of the constellation reaches the 50th level of their trail, they would be applicable to enter the true tower, were several different beings live in.

From then on they will climb the true tower to the top, reaching an unbelievable amount of power, treasures, and authority on each climb, it would also seem that with each climb of their some kind of power pushes the constellation's power higher, plus it's said that those that reach the 99th floor will have a power that's too amazing to imagine.

A wish.....

'Is this true?'

Xiao asked.

[[According to my database....yes]]

This answer brought a frown to Xiao's face, literally no being is capable of just granting a wish but if such a trial exists why did another trial exist to choose a successor for the tower? better yet who the hell made such a tower?

A tower so powerful that it lays in a dimension that no constellation is able to feel, a tower so powerful that it takes in destroyed worlds and fills in its quarters, a tower with treasures, opposite, legends that one might have only heard of, who made such a tower?.

'In the book, the part of the tower is just skimmed over, only the pains of Li Lun was mentioned'

Xiao's eyes turned dangerous as he gazed at Li Lun, from what Mia spoke till now none had made it to the 99th floor, the ones that couldn't reach the top had already made their own legacies, kingdoms, and powers, everyone is stuck at the 78th level, unable to move forward, a challenge that envelops all stood above them,

'Kings of The Crowns, Families Of Power, Breakers Of Towers, and many more....'

Such powerful people lay in the tower, in fact, the dimensions in the tower are extremely different from that of the world of cultivation, in fact, it's more similar to Ingrid.....

'I need more info'

The true reason that Xiao had tagged along with Li Lun was to get more info about the tower, its dynamics are the only clue he got towards Ingrid and perhaps a link towards the person or people that have played with his life as they deemed fit. Looking at the calm sleeping face of Li Lun he smiled as he played with her hair,

'Who would think that she cleared the 99th floor?'

Yes, in the future the 99th floor would be cleared by Li Lun but it wasn't a pretty journey, it was a journey she went through that was filled with immense pain, betrayal, tears, and sadness, it was this journey here that had broken the free-spirited girl into a husk of her former self, such that she has vanished to nothing later on.....

Li Lun being a constellation meant that 99% of all that lived in the tower wanted her dead, it was the easiest way for them to go towards the true outside world, without trying to reach the 99th floor, this had led to a very tragic life for Li Lun.

In fact, if there's anyone that knows what lay on the 99th floor it would have been Li Lun or her future past self?

'Sigh...if only I knew more'

In the book, there was a detailed movement of Li Lun's journey, one that will shake any heart but at the end, the story of what happened after she entered the 99th floor isn't there, nothing about her 'wish' lay, the one that gave Xiao the book didn't want him to know what had happened.

Just what was the wish she made such that she was never seen again? or what had happened inside that removed Li Lun from existence?

Xiao had drilled Mia but she lacked all the information that he needed, just the right ones he needed to become stupidly strong lay in her database but anything related to the origin of the tower was obscured from her memory. Suddenly Xiao's eyes glowed several colors as anger started to burn deep within his heart.

Secrets....secrets.....secrets....

Everywhere there lay different secrets for him to uncover, everything revolving around him and truthfully Xiao's patience was getting thinner, even now the ones messing with him haven't stopped.

A super tower as such and he happened to arrive here such that he got complete control over the information found in this tower?

And by some 'miracle' or 'luck', the tower happened to have an extremely rare trial other than the one present already?

And this so-called trial meant that he will have complete control over this tower and all its inhabitants?

Somehow it also came to be that since its foundation, only he Xiao became worthy of taking this 'trial'?

Deep, extreme anger started to burn within Xiao's heart, the two awakened flames danced about around him at his immense anger, dark sinister aura started to leave his body, while all of the beings within the realm of death felt their body tremble, the 21 lords reigning over feeling extreme anger bubbling within themselves,

'Did they of he/her take me for an idiot?'

The moment Death waved his reaper down at him, it had cut off all connections that controlled him, yet Xiao had somehow ended up in this situation and he knew the exact reason for it, Xiao's eyes looked towards the resting girl, his eyes softening a bit,

'They used someone I care about against me?'

'Reaper, my friend'

Xiao called out in anger, deep bubbling anger that threatened to swallow all life to death and in his anger, he got a reply,

'Tell me'

Death or Reaper's emotional voice, a voice of dread that brought death just being heard resounded within Xiao's mind,

'You know the ones responsible, right?'

Xiao asked, his eyes still fluctuating in different colors,

'Yes'

'You can't tell me because?'

Hearing Reaper's affirmation Xiao questions, before he didn't but now he wants an answer, he wants something to unleash his anger upon,

'You are not strong enough to know them, their names or just their information will crush your soul'

An apathetic reply came, making Xiao bite his lips hard,

'Then didn't you warn the ones messing with me for me?'

Xiao asked,

'I did, but not for the ones you care about, their death means nothing...'

Reaper's reply didn't surprise Xiao, for he knew Death was apathetic, nothing, even the death of the cosmos won't move him and it never did.....

'Then just tell me one thing?'

'Go on'

To Xiao's question, Reaper relented, upon so seeing so a bloodthirsty smile took Xiao's face,

'Was Li Lun messed with, was everyone around me messed with?'

'Yes'

A direct and forward reply, upon hearing so a dagger appeared in Xiao's hand, and without any hesitation Xiao stabbed the dagger to his heart, directly injuring it!
