Temptation IV

The Moon God raised her hand, looking at the skin on her arm that had returned to normal. She was surprised.

According to Laf, the pollution caused by the evil breath is almost irreversible.

But why is it that it is still safe and sound even though it is on the verge of being polluted?

"Are you wondering why the pollution on your body hasn't changed?" At that moment, several people strode in from outside the door.

A stern-looking man with short brown hair and dark eyes strode into the room.

The man had a cross-shaped scar between his eyebrows and wore a gray-white long robe that resembled a combination of a cloak and a trench coat.

"Because this is the Human Alliance. It is a land of survivors capable of suppressing all evil influences."

Human Alliance? Land of Survivors?

The Moon God's eyes were blank.

He had heard Laf and the other two talk about the survivors and knew that they were all weak, helpless, and pitiful mortals.

These mortals cannot walk freely on the earth; they can only hide deep underground like rats.

They do not refer to ordinary people within the Interaction Zone. The term "survivors" refers more to living people outside the Interaction Zone Sky Curtain, living on this land shrouded in the Heavenly Light.

These people are not Spirit Thread parasites and cannot adapt to harsh external environments. Not to mention Heavenly Light, even the occasional exposure to the poisonous gas emitted by lava melted by Heavenly Light can kill them.

But now... what are these people talking about, the Human Alliance? And how can they suppress all evil influences? What does that mean? "It seems you're very confused. But during your recovery period, we have plenty of time to talk," the man named Ou Nan continued.

"Furthermore, you shouldn't even think about going back to the surface. In your current state, once you go out, you will be contaminated by the evil energy again immediately, and in severe cases, you will turn into an evil spirit."

"Thank you," the Moon God said in a low voice.

Whoever the other party was, in the end, they were the ones who saved them.

He was too careless after all. He thought he could hold on until he reached the Perpetual Palace, but he didn't expect that "You should rest well." Ou Nan carefully looked at the Moon God and saw the deep fatigue between his brows.

He waved his hand, signaling the others to leave the room together.

The group stepped out of the room, closed the door behind them, and looked out at the bustling underground community street.

Truckloads of freshly delivered mushrooms were being unloaded by strong laborers gathered around the roadside.

Underground, all kinds of mushrooms are the most common staple food for everyone.

Not far away, several young men and women dressed in flamboyant attire peered out from the second floor of a small building adorned with red lanterns.

Further away, patrol First Squad, armed with a variety of sharp weapons, were hurrying forward along the patrol walkways on the street.

These strong men and women patrolling the area all raised their hands in unison to show respect as they passed Ou Nan and his companions.

"Brees, is there any news from headquarters?" Ou Nan asked in a deep voice.

Brees was the strong man who had awakened while guarding the Moon God.

"Yes, they want us to go out and search for clues. The Perpetual Palace has started testing the passageways again."

"La has been trying to recreate that experiment from over a decade ago. But she's just a pawn being manipulated. The real trouble is with Instant Tower," Ou Nan replied.

"Sigh, it's always us Adapters have to work the hardest," Brees said helplessly.

"We are people who have lived under the Heavenly Light, and it is only natural that we should take on more responsibility for our families and friends," Ou Nan said calmly.

"I heard that the Ninth Squad fought with those hyenas outside last week. Several people died. At least three replacements were selected from the reserve team," the petite woman beside her said.

"If they also had extreme mental Adapters like Brother Ou Nan, they wouldn't be constantly suffering deaths and injuries," Brees sighed. "So we're lucky."

Ou Nan did not reply.

He is one of the ten strongest warriors in the Human Alliance, Adapters survived under the Heavenly Light, and a human being whose mental consciousness has reached its limit.

Using human bodies, they ascend to the pinnacle of genetic achievement, and then combine this with the technology left behind by the Spirit Eye Clan to create flesh-and-blood weapons.

They are the only pillar against those wandering parasites from the outside world.

"The Instant Tower is probably brewing some kind of conspiracy again. The Perpetual Palace is their visible henchman. Recently, the Perpetual Palace released a mysterious map, seemingly searching for a special Interaction Zone."

"There's probably some inside story involved," the petite girl guessed.

"No matter what, the execution of Di En decades ago, which killed so many people, was all the work of Instant Tower. We will wipe out those man-eating monsters one day!!" Brees said through gritted teeth.

Ou Nan did not reply, but fell silent.

The ground is teeming with those disgusting parasites, who control almost all the resources.

Above the ordinary parasites are the Furnace Monsters and evil spirits.

The Furnace Monsters come from the Perpetual Palace, while the Evil Spirits come from the Instant Tower. To ordinary people, they are all man-eating monsters, with little difference between them.

Therefore, destroying the Perpetual Palace and crushing the Instant Tower has been the goal that the Human Alliance has been committed to for countless years.

Unfortunately, even the strongest human warrior like him could only deal with an ordinary Evil Spirit Elephant at most.

If they encounter an even stronger Evil Spirit Cannon, or even one of the three Great Evil Kings, it will be a certain death.

Not to mention the ultimate and strongest Skinless One Long.

That is the ultimate target that Human Alliance warriors must eventually defeat.

It is the source of all evil, the root of all chaos and destruction! There is multiple pieces of evidence to suggest that the mutation of the White Pupil is most likely caused by the Skinless One Long, from Instant Tower.

Their tunnel experiment, which they planned more than a decade ago, made everything worse.

***Outside the Sky Curtain, inside a pure black spiral tower with walls covered in charred marks.

One of the walls suddenly split open into a huge mouth, from which flew a red light and a tall, thin, skinless humanoid figure.

The red light landed and quickly turned into a pool of blood.

The blood sculpted the body, instantly forming Zhang Rongfang's tall body with bat wings on his back.

He slowly stood up and looked around.

Where is this place?

The Skinless One Long, slowly opened his arms behind him.

"This is the Instant Tower, which no one has ever found alone. It is named after the eternal moment."

Zhang Rongfang looked down at the base of the "Instant Tower" from the railing.

It stretched as far as the eye could see, with only a blurry black expanse at the bottom.

"Let's go down. You'll see our strength and sincerity," Taki explained with a sharp smile.

Since it is a collaboration, equality is required.

The other party wanted him to do something so that the passage to his hometown could be opened smoothly.

In exchange, Taki's side naturally has to demonstrate what they need to do.

Taki swayed his slender body and began spiraling down the stairs, hurrying towards the bottom of the tower.

Zhang Rongfang glanced at the giant mouth on the wall where they had just entered, then slowly flapped his wings, floated into the air, and followed Taki down.

One floor, five floors, ten floors, twentieth floor. The two of them rushed down.

Gradually, the entire tower began to grow larger and larger, and the staircases became wider and wider.

Initially, the stairwell was only a little over four meters wide.

But later, the passageway was even expanded to more than ten meters.

The narrow tower has transformed into a spacious castle.

Moreover, as they continued downwards, the surrounding walls, floor, and handrails were all stained with a layer of blood.

Everywhere you look, there is writhing flesh and blood, covering everything you can touch.

After descending another ten or so floors, Taki finally stopped first.

We've arrived at the bottom of the tower.

This is a wide circular plaza with a diameter of several hundred meters.

The ground resembled Blood Descendant Blood Blanket, with countless blood bubbles growing and bursting, releasing large amounts of pungent poisonous gas.

A massive amount of black smoke and malevolent energy permeated the surroundings, harassing any Spirit Thread parasites that dared to approach.

Taki glanced at Zhang Rongfang, confirming that the latter had no reaction.

"Aufika, Ming, Latiye Lan, come and meet our distinguished guest. Qiankun Zi, the Bloodline King Evil Spirits from the Super Interaction Zone!"

He spoke clearly into the empty square.

The words had barely left his mouth.

Three wisps of black, distorted smoke quickly condensed and contracted at three locations in the plaza.

A soft tearing sound.

As the black smoke dissipated, three blurry, distorted, tall human figures slowly appeared on the ground of the plaza.

A tall woman dressed entirely in white, with even her skin and eyes appearing deathly pale, bowed slightly to Zhang Rongfang in a magnificent white dress.

The second one is a blurry humanoid figure made up of countless black flying ants.

The third one is a bald humanoid figure with a semi-transparent body, like jelly, and a faint, dazzling electric light emanating from its surface.

"One of the Three Kings, Aufika, greets the Bloodline King," the White Dress Woman said with a gentle bow. If it weren't for the tiny black insects constantly crawling in and out of her eyes, ears, mouth, and even her mouth, she would actually be the most normal-looking of the three.

"Evil King Ming, since you are a distinguished guest of the Lord, you must be an extraordinary person. It is a pleasure to meet you here." The second humanoid figure, composed of countless flying ants, also bowed slightly to Zhang Rongfang.

"Evil King Latiye Lan." The last semi-transparent humanoid figure, crackling with electricity, didn't say much, only offering a cold reply before falling silent.

"The end of the world is coming, and they are my Three Kings saviors, three different hopes and directions," Taki explained in a shrill voice.

"What I want to see is the passageway," Zhang Rongfang said coldly. "How can you prove that behind this open passageway lies my hometown?"

"It's actually quite easy." Taki stretched out his slender fingers and looked down at Latiye Lan, one of the Three Kings.

Latiye Lan stepped forward, stood in the center of the square, and slowly raised his arms.

A brilliant burst of electricity rose from his body, coalescing above his head to form a blurry blue disc.

The disc gradually became clearer, reflecting an image of a vast city like a mirror.

"That is!?"

Zhang Rongfang's gaze froze, fixed intently on that image.

Towering buildings, a constant flow of cars, and crowds.

There were also twinkling lights that flickered on and off.

He could even see clearly the billboards hanging on the exteriors of tall buildings.

That was the city where he used to live!
