She Shocks The Whole World After Retirement-Chapter 227 - Big Shots Are Not Reliable

Chapter 227 Big Shots Are Not Reliable

When the door of the Central Pagoda opened, Dino crossed his arms and glanced at Sheng Xiao and the others coldly. He said lazily, “The tower is open. Come in.”

Just as he finished speaking, Mo Xiao, the Grand State Master, suddenly waved his sleeve. A light blue survival ring appeared on their wrists. “Wear it. If you can’t continue to continue venturing into the tower, break the survival ring. The Central Pagoda will send you out.”

Gold Ingot waved his hand and said impatiently, “Stop dawdling. Get lost!”

Seeing this, the Elven Queen waved her water sleeve and the 120 young experts were instantly teleported to the door of the Central Pagoda.

Everyone looked up at the tall tower door and felt a little apprehensive.

Many years ago, it was a form of honor to be able to obtain the qualification to challenge the pagoda and enter the Upper World to seek knowledge. However, the change in the Central Pagoda twenty years ago still planted fear in the hearts of every junior.

There was something terrifying hidden inside the door of the Time Gate.

This was the fear in every Beast Tamer’s heart.

Everyone had heard about the abnormal energy fluctuations in the Time Gate recently. They were afraid of encountering danger, so no one dared to be the first to enter the tower.

Donor looked at Sheng Xiao.

Sheng Xiao’s attention was not on the tower but on the two opened doors. There was a beast eye between the two doors on the left and right.

Sheng Xiao recognized the unicorn’s eyes and walked forward. He bowed to the unicorn and walked into the Central Pagoda first.

Seeing that Sheng Xiao had entered, Donor did not back down and quickly followed him.

After him, Feng Tang and the others entered the tower.

Seeing these children hesitate for a moment at the door before daring to enter the tower, Sheng Lingfeng shook his head and sighed. “The calamity of the Central Pagoda still left a trauma in these children’s hearts.”

At the side, the short but muscular Madam Dietrich said, “How can they not be afraid? No one knows what happened in the Time Gate. The 199 elite and selfless Prime Masters were killed inside. Just thinking about it is scary.”

Back then, during the calamity in the Central Pagoda, Dietrich had personally gone to the scene to investigate the situation. When she thought of the scene of blood flowing like a river on the top floor of the Central Pagoda, Dietrich’s entire body went cold.

Sheng Lingfeng had also seen that tragic scene with his own eyes. He sighed and said, “I hope they can return safely.”

Afraid that there would be an unexpected change in the Central Pagoda, Sheng Lingfeng and the others did not dare to leave, so they decided to stay outside the Central Pagoda and guard it. If there was any commotion in the Central Pagoda, they could charge in immediately to save this group of young people. Dino saw that the Grand State Master had been looking up at the dark clouds above him. There was spiritual light in his blue eyes. He frowned and asked, “Mo Xiao, what are you looking at?”

The Grand State Master retracted his gaze and stared at Dino for a moment. Suddenly, he created a soundproof barrier around the two of them.

Seeing this, Dino’s expression gradually darkened.

Outsiders could not hear their words inside the barrier. Mo Xiao was acting so mysteriously. What did he have to say?

The Grand State Master looked at Dino and sighed sadly, “Dino, I can’t see the future of the Holy Spirit Continent.”

Hearing this, Dino looked stunned. “…What do you mean?” After speaking, Dino realized that his voice was extremely dry.

The Grand State Master sighed and said, “The Holy Spirit Continent is about to face a calamity.”

“How could this be?!” Dino was extremely shocked.

A calamity that could be described as a ‘calamity’ by Mo Xiao must be a real calamity.

The Grand State Master said, “From the moment the Prime Master sacrificed himself twenty years ago, I had already sensed the arrival of the calamity. Over the years, I have repeatedly deduced that the calamity will be six years later.”

“But as for why that calamity started, I can’t predict it.” He was not God, and was only prying into the heavenly secrets. He had already used all his strength to predict that the calamity was about to happen.

After knowing this news, Dino was speechless for a long time.

He raised his head and stared at the Central Pagoda in front of him with his eyes slowly revealing grief. He said, “If the calamity really comes, then it will have to be over our dead bodies!”

Even if the sky fell, they would hold it up!

Mo Xiao looked at Dino deeply and nodded. “That’s right.” The Prime Master had already left everyone. Who among their colleagues could stay out of this?

At this moment, Gold Ingot suddenly slapped his head and cried out in shock, “Holy sh*t, did we forget to announce the rules of the tower challenge?”

Hearing that, Daiya, Dino, and the others were stunned.

The Grand State Master acknowledged in frustration and said, “That’s right. We forgot to tell them that the challenge of the pagoda didn’t start from the first level of the Central Pagoda.”

After every participant entered the tower, the Central Pagoda would test their abilities for them and then send them to the floor they were suitable for.

Those with strong abilities might reach the 50th level when they opened their eyes. Those with weaker abilities might open their eyes to the 1th or 2th floor.

In short, the levels where each participant started to challenge were not fixed. But they actually forgot to announce such an important piece of information just now!

The four of them looked at each other speechlessly.

Daiya said, “These children should know…”

Gold Ingot poured a bucket of cold water on her. He said, “The rules regarding the tower challenge in the Central Pagoda are never allowed to be spread. Who knows? At least, I didn’t know about it before I challenged the pagoda back then. I only heard the Grand State Master tell me about it before I was about to enter the pagoda.”

A hundred years ago, the Grand State Master and Dino were already guardians.

Hearing this, the Grand State Master used his slender index finger that was like a jade chopstick to gently press against his temples. His face also revealed an apologetic expression as he said, “I was distracted just now and forgot to mention this.” Gold Ingot and Daiya looked at Dino again. Dino pouted and blew his hair while saying confidently, “Why are you looking at me? I don’t have to announce the rules for every tower challenge.” He just had to be responsible for activating the tower door.

Gold Ingot mumbled, “I’ve only been in office for 15 years. I’m still a newcomer.”

Daiya was speechless.

Everyone started to shift the blame. No one was willing to be the scapegoat.

Daiya carefully glanced at the Grand State Master and said softly, “In the past, it was always the Grand State Master who announced it.”

The Grand State Master blinked and looked at Daiya as he said coldly, “Is it important to say or not? After entering the tower, you just have to charge into the tower.”

Daiya hurriedly said, “Yes! The Grand State Master is right! Strength is the important factor that determines everything.”

The Grand State Master snorted. “It’s good that you understand.”

When Sheng Xiao and the others were teleported into the Central Pagoda, they were immediately enveloped by darkness. Sheng Xiao held his sword tightly and shouted softly, “Senior Feng?”

No one replied.

“Prince Donor?”

No one replied.

Sheng Xiao looked down at the pitch-black space. He felt uneasy.

No one had told him that the first level’s test was so difficult.

However, Sheng Xiao, who did not know the rules of the tower challenge, did not know that the “first floor” he thought was actually the 55th floor!

At the same time, Donor and Feng Tang entered the tower. They realized that they had been separated from the others. They had the same thought as Sheng Xiao.

Was the first level of the Central Pagoda Hell Mode at the start?

Sheng Xiao stood in the darkness. After making sure that he could not see anything, he wanted to walk into the darkness and find out what was going on. He was about to take a step forward when he realized that his legs were tied up.

Huh?

Sheng Xiao tried to move his arm again and found that it was tied up.

He was already tied up, so how was he to compete?

Sheng Xiao stopped struggling and quickly calmed down. Since it was a test, there must be a way. There had to be a way out.

Sheng Xiao quickly noticed something strange after he calmed down. He heard the sound of water. It sounded like it was dripping from the top of his head onto his toes.

The water droplets fell faster and faster, and before long, they drenched his shoes and formed a puddle under him.

Before Sheng Xiao could figure out what was going on, the water spread to his ankles. It would not be long before it soaked his thighs, waist, and chest…

If he couldn’t break free, he would drown.

How should he solve a question without a question?

As if to confirm Sheng Xiao’s guess, more and more water dripped from his head. Soon, it covered his thighs, his waist, and his shoulders.

When the liquid covered Sheng Xiao’s mouth and nose, he quickly felt suffocated.

At this moment, an ethereal voice that sounded like it came from ancient times sounded in his mind

“Do you believe in the existence of God?”

Sheng Xiao’s eyes widened.

It was the Inquisition!
