The evolved 'Silent Tower' had completely changed.
It had become a biological structure that inspired awe and dread.
No, more precisely, it resembled a massive, intricate, living system of internal organs.
The tower's base was the thickest. Its exterior was covered in wrinkled, dull keratinous layers, like the stomach wall of a colossal beast.
These folds writhed faintly at regular intervals, secreting transparent biological mucus as they continuously "sipped" chaotic streams of primordial information from the ley lines and even the void.
This was the tower's "feeding" entrance. All captured encrypted data and fragments of knowledge were initially wrapped, corroded, and digested here.
From the base upward, the tower took on a segmented form, like the vertebrae of a gigantic spine.
Each section's shell consisted of alternating layers of semitransparent dark crystal and biological keratin, allowing a vague glimpse of the interior.

The most striking part was the "tower top."
It was where the highest-level computational organ was located, known as the "Blueprint Womb."
Here, it consumed vast amounts of energy to deduce feasible technological solutions, "gestating" blueprint data into complete physical objects.
Its inner walls glittered with points of light resembling a vast star map, each corresponding to one of the countless technological paths under calculation.
The moment this Tier-Four Building appeared, the surrounding Silent Towers seemed to be making a pilgrimage. In unison, they let out a humming sound.
A trace of awe flashed through Huang Yuanli's eyes.
She was not in awe of the tower itself, but of the power of transformation.
There was also a Tier-Four Building shaped like a tower in Highgog's memories. It seemed to be called the "Tower of Hierarchy," stolen from the Terminal Civilization.
Later, it seemed to have been bought by a group of
