Chapter 332 – Tower of Heroes (2/2)

“Besides, there’s a death altar in there where the souls of those who die here will reincarnate. Heh, that altar was once used to offer sacrifices to the God of Darkness. Anyone reincarnating there will become a slave of the God of Darkness for eternity.”

“What?!!” Powerful existences were one thing, but this altar was on an entirely different level. The first was shocking, but the second simply made the players want to run away. Becoming the Darkness God’s slave after death? Maybe NPCs wouldn’t mind, but no player could tolerate such a thing.

“That dangerous?” A few players began to hesitate.

“I didn’t know that this mission would get so dangerous. Originally, I thought that Heavens Scar was a place hosting all sorts of treasures, so I gathered you guys not only to help with my mission but also to increase your strength while we’re at it. However, since we now know how dangerous this is, I won’t force you to stay. Friends who want to leave, please feel free to do so,” Bai Xiaosheng turned to tell the players.

“Master of the All-Knowing Sect, please tell us about your mission. If it’s worth the price, I’ll risk my life to help you,” a player spoke up after some silence.

“Alright, since you’ve given me face and followed me here, I won’t hide anymore. My mission is to claim a main city that was lost here during the last grand war, the Hero City.”

“What?! A main city?!”

An uproar broke out amongst the players. Every player, even the most unambitious, like lifestyle players, knew very well what a main city meant. If a guild had a main city, they could directly set it up as their base and skip the trouble of upgrading it. The value was simply incalculable.

The two announcements regarding Storm City and Sky City to the whole server had made all the guild masters go crazy with envy, hating that they couldn’t just find their locations and deploy troops to besiege them. Now that an ownerless main city was right in front of them, every guild master was actively working their brains.

“Some people can’t resist it, it seems,” HeadofGod swept a cold glance and whispered to Fatty.

“It’s no surprise. Wealth tempts the human heart, not to mention something like this,” Fatty remarked in a cold voice. “In my opinion, Uncle shouldn’t have called these people here. While they’re strong, most of them are guild masters. Any ambitious person won’t sit still doing nothing when they know about an unowned main city.”

“He was only acting out of a kind heart that wanted everyone to benefit. In the future when the majority of players flood into the Imperial Capital and Heavens Scar is open to the public, this place will be crowded,” DukeGarrison analyzed.

Bai Xiaosheng only smiled as he quietly waited for the players to make their choices. Ten-something minutes later, the sounds of discussion stopped, and none of the players chose to leave.

Having expected this outcome, Bai Xiaosheng nodded with a smile and offered some words of formality before turning to the skeletal general for discussion.

“Looks like Uncle has already prepared for something like this. What an old fox.” Purple Bell laughed cheerfully upon seeing Bai Xiaosheng’s calm and all-knowing manner.

The talk went smoothly. After the general knew that Bai Xiaosheng had come for Sky City, he was very excited. When seeing Bai Xiaosheng discreetly take out an object, he was even more excited and even offered to let his troops escort Bai Xiaosheng inside.

Bai Xiaosheng politely turned down the general’s goodwill and only asked him about the situation inside before setting out again.

“Uncle, let me see,” Fatty leaned close to Bai Xiaosheng and whispered.

“What?” Bai Xiaosheng was on full alert.

“Show me whatever you showed that silly bean general,” said the shameless Fatty.

“No way!” Bai Xiaosheng flatly refused.

“Good, Uncle, you're very good. I risk my life to help you with your mission, yet you’re still hiding things from me.” Fatty pretended to be angry.

“Heh, fine, I’ll let you see. This is the reason why I’m not worried that they can steal my city.” Bai Xiaosheng flashed a black mini-tower in front of Fatty before stowing it quickly.

“Oh, is that the same as the Holy Spirit Island, the control center of Hero City?” It suddenly dawned on Fatty.

“Hmm? I don’t know what the Holy Spirit Island is, but you’re correct, the tower is the control center of Hero City.” Bai Xiaosheng said to Fatty via private chat. “This tower is called the Tower of Heroes. It must be put into its original place before Hero City is considered claimed. And, the person who controls the tower will be the new city lord.”

HeadofGod had joined the chat as well. The trio blabbered while walking.

“To tell you the truth, the Tower of Heroes still has another function, that is to summon the human soldiers inside Heavens Scar. Regardless alive or skeletal, as long as they are human warriors that still want to fight for the human race, I can gather them under my authority,” A hint of smugness could be seen in Bai Xiaosheng’s expression.

“That formidable?” Fatty and HeadofGod were stunned.

“Heh, you know how many human soldiers are there in the entire Heavens Scar? Although it’s been several thousand years, I dare say there are no less than a million of all forms in total. Of course, I’m unable to assemble that many at once, but thirty to fifty thousand is still possible. At that time, we can let those soldiers attack first and come out in the very last moment.”

“No wonder you don’t care about the others’ ambitions.” Fatty understood.
