Chapter 2668 - Empty God (2/2)

“I’ve already reached the bottom floor. Why are there more stairs that can lead me down even farther? Have I remembered it incorrectly, and this is actually the second floor?” Han Sen quickly dismissed that idea. Destiny’s Tower only had seven floors, and with his exceptional memory, he couldn’t have been wrong.

Han Sen reached out a hand to where the door should have been, but there was just a wall there. It wasn’t an optical illusion. There really wasn’t a door.

Pang!

Han Sen threw a punch at the stone wall. With his strength, even a mountain would have been destroyed by one of his punches. But the stone wall didn’t buckle, and there wasn’t a single scraped left on its surface.

Han Sen frowned. He knew that nothing would be achieved by using brute force. He looked at the stone staircase, then turned and continued walking down.

When he reached the floor below, he noticed that there was another stone platform. The stone platform had that same man on it—the one who had called himself Empty God. It was exactly as it was on the seventh floor.

“Make your wish,” Empty God said, staring expressionlessly at Han Sen.

Han Sen gnashed his teeth. Still holding Li Keer, he continued trying to descend the stairs. There were more of them, and he swiftly descended another seven flights. He was still unable to find the first floor and its door. He only found more and more stairs.

After walking down the stone stairs for a while, Han Sen realized he always came back to the seventh floor of the tower. There, he saw Empty God again.

“Is this some sort of space power? Does it connect the seventh floor and the first floor to create some sort of weird Mobius strip? If that is true, no matter how far I walk, I will never reach the exit of this tower. I will just keep looping the same route over and over again.” Han Sen tried using teleportation powers, but it was to no avail. No matter where he tried to teleport to, he always reappeared inside the tower, just in a different location each time.

“Make your wish.” Whenever Han Sen saw Empty God again, the man would repeat the same phrase. He never said anything else.

But his expression seemed to say that Han Sen had no other choice, and that sooner or later, he would have to make a wish.

Han Sen knew that if he made a wish, some of his lifespan would be taken by those men that called themselves gods. And the wish he made would be twisted by the so-called gods. Even if the wish came true, he would have to pay too high a price.

If he didn’t make a wish, though, there was a chance that he and Li Keer would never be able to exit the tower. Han Sen couldn’t figure a way out of this dilemma.

He couldn’t attack Empty God. Li Keer had demonstrated that inability all too well. The only chance he had to attack was if he could somehow make use of his black crystal armor. Attacking Empty God in any other way was practically a death wish.

“Li Keer’s father must know we walked into Destiny’s Tower. If we don’t emerge anytime soon, he will surely come here in search of Li Keer.” Han Sen was placing his chips on Li Keer’s father.

Empty God seemed to see through what Han Sen was thinking, and he coldly said, “Have you heard of power that warps the passage of time? You might stay in this tower for a thousand years, but only a second will pass outside. If you are expecting a rescue team to come and find you, you’ll be nothing but bones by then.”

“Do I really have to make a wish?” Han Sen looked at Empty God and sighed.

“If you and I have met, it is something that was always meant to be. You deserve this. You cannot escape from it.” Empty God spoke slowly in a bone-chilling voice.
