The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 852 - 534: Temptation

The blueprint of the Tower of Trial underwent a significant change in its final stage.

However, only Kana knew about this.

The opportunity for this change stemmed from the process in which Kana acquired the last fragment.

During this process, he gained two unexpected partners.

One was a skeleton who feared world punishment due to his past actions; the other was an Undead Dragon, with whom Kana never thought he could make a trade in the game.

The change brought by the skeleton was significant, not only expanding the trial area of the entire Tower of Trial but also contributing the knowledge needed to perfect the instance mechanism.

As for the Undead Dragon, it provided crucial assistance to Kana’s research on the resurrection mechanism, enabling the completion of his studies.

It was for this reason that Kana conceived the idea of integrating the resurrection function into the Tower of Trial and planned to verify it in this newly established auxiliary space.

Once verified, it would mean that the same conditions could be realized on a world scale with some necessary changes.

Now, there was no doubt that the expected validation effect had been achieved.

Among them, the Undead Dragon played a crucial role.

Originally a giant dragon ruling over life, it was an exceptional existence within the Dragon Race in the domain of life growth, restoration, and creation.

However, out of fear of death, it turned to the opposite of life, surviving in an undead form.

This placed the Undead Dragon in a rather awkward position.

As Kana had previously told it, the specialized domain of its former talents and the power it had spent a lifetime honing could no longer be wielded and even caused harm to itself.

And the power it once loathed and opposed the most had become its fundamental reliance for survival in the present.

These two completely opposite powers opposing each other to some extent shaped its current form.

Death and rebirth seemed opposed but contained a deep internal connection.

And this was exactly what Kana needed.

Kana granted the Undead Dragon high authority within the Tower of Trial, equivalent to the authority held by the strongest member of the Night Watcher, Cui Yu, the Child of the World.

Cui Yu wielded power over plants and life in this world. With Cui Yu’s help, Kana successfully crafted the corresponding power in this separately segregated Tower of Trial and bestowed it upon the Undead Dragon.

This ability provided the Undead Dragon with life-related authority within the Tower of Trial, while its undead nature also endowed it with the power to control souls and bring death.

Coupled with Kana’s long-standing in-depth research on souls and soul creation, the resurrection mechanism emerged as a result.

This was also the reason for the Undead Dragon’s astonishment.

"Doesn’t this current world deserve your wholehearted effort and the dedication of your life?"

Kana quietly gazed at the Undead Dragon, his voice calm yet seemingly imbued with magical power, drilling into the ears of the Undead Dragon word by word.

Upon hearing Kana’s words, the Undead Dragon involuntarily shook its head.

"Do not attempt to tempt me, human. Even if you were the Savior, it would be futile. Our previous agreement is clear. I will assist you to the best of my ability as per our agreement. But once the Void descends upon this world, you must let me leave."

The Undead Dragon deliberately raised its volume, attempting to strengthen its own inner determination.

Faced with the Undead Dragon’s refusal, Kana did not get angry but instead took a few steps forward, getting closer to the Undead Dragon.

His voice once again wound into the depths of the other’s soul like threads.

"Is that really the case? Why not carefully consider the power and authority you’ve now obtained in this Tower of Trial.

In this small world, you are like a god controlling death and rebirth, holding the great power over life and death. This is a powerful force you have never even dreamed of reaching, even at your peak!

With this power, you even have the chance to ascend to a divine position, achieving dreams once beyond your reach."

Kana’s voice was filled with compelling allure.

"No! You should cease this delusion. To me, this place is merely a cage. Even if I am the warden of this cage, in essence, I am still a prisoner trapped here!"

The Undead Dragon remained unmoved, vehemently retorting.

Kana only faintly smiled.

"Is that so? What if I told you that I plan to implement such a resurrection mechanism throughout the world, what would you think then?"

"What?!" the Undead Dragon exclaimed in surprise, then immediately loudly rebuked, "This is absolutely impossible! The world’s rules will never allow you to make such a move.

Even if the world narrowly survives the invasion of the Void, once so, everything will lose its meaning. The essence of the world rules dictates that a singular resurrection may be feasible, but for every Night Watcher to have resurrection abilities is simply a pipe dream."

The Undead Dragon shook its head frantically. Such a bold and crazy idea had never occurred to it, yet the Savior before it claimed to make it a reality.

"Why not? Look at this Tower of Trial; though just recently segregated from the world, it still remains affiliated with it, yet here, such abilities have already been realized.

I have granted you the corresponding authority. You should be well aware of the specific process of this resurrection creation. Ponder over it, is it truly impossible to achieve in the external world?

Do I! really lack the ability to complete it?"

Kana pressed step by step, continuously questioning.

The massive body of the Undead Dragon instinctively retreated. It knew in its heart that Kana’s words were without flaw.

Kana’s voice sounded again: "Then, you will be able to shed this form you yourself loathe.

Recall your once flawless body, graceful and beautiful, a standout even among many giant dragons.

With newfound power, you will only grow more perfect, not like now—just a skeletal frame."

With this, Kana stopped exerting pressure, turned, and walked towards the outside.

As he walked, he said, "Deliberate on this carefully. What meaning does leaving this world in your current form hold?

How is this any different from death? Have you already forgotten the pride innate to the giant dragons? Why not summon the courage to strive for it?

I will go ahead. I hope that by the next time I return, you will have thought it through and made your decision."

As Kana’s figure gradually vanished, every word he spoke incessantly echoed in the Undead Dragon’s mind.

The words, like a persistent enchanting melody, churned and lingered unceasingly in its mind.

Kana stepped out of the Tower of Trial.

He looked back at the dark and towering structure behind him.

The greatest gain for him from the completion of the Tower of Trial was undoubtedly a more profound understanding of life and death.

In some sense, he even dared to claim to be almost the most knowledgeable person about life and death in this world at the present stage.

"The process is determined, and theoretically feasible. But how exactly can this mechanism be recreated in the real world?"

Kana pondered to himself.

He knew well that a complete Stone of Creation was indispensable in this process.

However, the next stone had already been assigned a purpose: to be used for the comprehensive spread of the Night Watcher’s power.

Kana looked at the two newly appeared stone fragments in his hand, acutely aware of the long road ahead.
