429: Chapter 429 Inside the Tower

Lu Sheng stopped in front of the tower.

At the base of the tower was a door.

The door was about four meters high and two meters wide. A massive relief of a Dragon was carved onto the dark golden metal door leaves.

Lu Sheng's pupils constricted.

The Dragon's design was almost identical to the Dragon-shaped totem he had seen in the Deep Blue Survival System.

"A Dragon again."

Profound Sound also noticed the relief. "Does Your Excellency's Sequence Talent... have something to do with this place?"

"I don't know. But I have a feeling that this door was opened specifically for me."

He reached out and pressed his hand against the door.

The Dragon-shaped relief on the door suddenly lit up.

Dark golden light spread outward from the Dragon-shaped relief's eyes, flowing around the silhouette of the relief before—

Buzz—

The door opened.

There was no resistance.

Behind the door was a spiral staircase extending upward.

The dark golden steps shimmered with a soft golden light under the reflection of the white glow.

"Shall I go up with Your Excellency?" Profound Sound asked.

Lu Sheng thought for a moment. "Wait outside. Help me keep an eye on the opening in the Law barrier. In case someone comes in from the outside—"

"I understand."

Lu Sheng walked into the tower alone.

The door slowly closed behind him.

The spiral staircase had a total of three hundred steps.

He walked up step by step. He didn't fly; in such an unknown ancient building, flying recklessly might trigger some kind of mechanism.

After walking for about five minutes, he reached the first floor of the tower—a circular space about thirty meters in diameter.

There was only one thing in the space.

A mirror.

The mirror floated in the very center of the room, about two meters high and one meter wide. The frame was dark golden metal, and the mirror's surface—wasn't silver, but a profound black.

A black mirror surface.

Lu Sheng stood in front of the mirror, looking at his reflection in the black surface.

The reflection was clear. He saw himself—short hair, a somewhat weary face, and dark golden vertical pupils in his eyes.

But—

His reflection was smiling.

Yet he himself was not.

"What the hell?"

The hair on Lu Sheng's neck stood up.

His mirror self raised a hand—the left one.

But Lu Sheng's left hand didn't move.

His mirror self opened its mouth and said something.

No sound came out, but Lu Sheng could read the words from the mouth movements of the "self" in the mirror—

"You've finally come."

Lu Sheng took a step back.

His hand instinctively reached for the dragon devouring spear at his waist.

His mirror self shook its head, its mouth movements continuing—

"Don't be nervous. I am not your enemy."

"Who are you?" Lu Sheng didn't lower his guard.

His mirror self continued to mouth words—

"I am you. Or rather—I am the sleeping memories within your Bloodline."

"The Dragon God's memories?"

His mirror self smiled. Then—the mirror's surface began to change.

The black mirror surface rippled like water.

Within the ripples, images began to appear.

Lu Sheng saw—

A massive, Dragon-shaped figure spanning the entire starry sky.

The Dragon's size was beyond words. Its body meandered between countless galaxies, each Dragon scale as large as a star.

Chaos Dragon God.

The ultimate form of his Sequence Talent.

The images continued to change.

The figure of the Chaos Dragon God gradually shrank and blurred, finally condensing into a dark golden sphere of light the size of a fist.

The light sphere floated in the center of the image.

Then—the light sphere cracked open.

It shattered into countless fragments.

The fragments flew out in all directions, toward every corner of the Universe.

Some fragments fell into stars—becoming Spirit Emperor Realm remains. The ones in the Old God Abyss.

Some fragments condensed into crystal cores—origin crystal cores. The one hundred and seventy-two he had just collected.

Some fragments—became this tower.

The image in the mirror froze on the final scene—

One fragment did not fly away.

It stayed where it was.

At the very top floor of this tower.

The images dissipated.

The mirror surface returned to black.

The "self" in the mirror reappeared, mouthing one last sentence—

"Go to the top floor. Take what belongs to you."

Then, the "self" in the mirror closed its eyes.

The mirror surface went completely dark.

It became an ordinary black mirror.

Lu Sheng stood there, his chest heaving violently.

His brain was rapidly processing the information he had just seen.

The Chaos Dragon God—was the ultimate form of his Sequence Talent.

Everything left behind by this ancient civilization—the Spirit Emperor Realm remains in the Old God Abyss, the origin crystal cores of G-131, this tower—all came from fragments of the Chaos Dragon God.

They weren't left behind by the Xianqin Civilization.

They were left by the Chaos Dragon God.

Or rather—the Chaos Dragon God itself was a part of the Xianqin Civilization.

And on the top floor of the tower—there was still one fragment.

A fragment that belonged to him.

Lu Sheng hesitated no longer, turning and rushing up the spiral staircase.

First floor.

Second floor.

Third floor.

Each floor was a circular space. But except for the mirror on the first floor, the other floors were completely empty.

All the way to the top floor.

The seventh floor.

The spiral staircase reached its end.

The space on the top floor was only ten meters in diameter.

In the very center of the room—floated a dark golden sphere of light.

It was a bit smaller than a fist, about the size of an egg.

It floated quietly in mid-air, its surface shimmering with dark golden light.

The color of the light—was exactly the same as the color of the Dragon scales in Lu Sheng's Human-Dragon State.

"Dragon Eyes."

Information surfaced—

Lu Sheng clearly saw the line of text.

Then, he froze right there.
