Chapter 890 Ascension

On the 82nd floor, Li Yi was not on the same stage as The Mountain and Milky Way Star. All three of them were separated, and each faced an independent stage which was not at all related to each other.

Li Yi encountered a prairie stage. There was only one kind of creature on this map, level 200 elite monsters, the Bone-eating Giant Ants.

The number of Bone-eating Giant Ant was more than sheer horror. Nothing could be seen except for the Bone-eating Giant Ants.

One by one, hundreds of millions…

Li Yi stood at the entrance and observed it for a long time. Finally, he concluded that even if he had the Thunder God’s Protection, he would never be able to beat this map.

Even if he would only lose one HP at a time, he could not resist this many Bone-eating Giant Ants.

“I summon thee, Fire God!”

Li Yi took out a Fire God Summon and tore it open.

A mature and gorgeous redhead descended from the sky with the Forbidden Curse of the Divine Flames’ Descent and launched an attack on the Bone-eating Giant Ants.

He thought that the three God Summoning Scrolls obtained from the silver treasure chests would definitely come in handy. It would seem that he was right.

Appreciating the great barbecue of the ants, Li Yi could not help but think about the victim who had been robbed of all the treasures from the scorpion cave.

…

On the 65th floor of the Tower of Remorse, it was a map of hills, basically a hill stage. Huge stones, rough terrain, and cliffs abound. Falling to death by accident was a common sight.

That was beside the point, the focus was on the monsters there.

A group of Stone Golems with a height of more than sixteen feet. Their numbers were comparable to that of the Bone-eating Giant Ants. They were blocking the way to the next floor. As soon as they saw an enemy, they would approach immediately. If one were to be accidentally caught by them, he or she would enjoy continuous jumping cutters which would soon prove to be fatal.

The Stone Golems were level 200, all of them being elite monsters. The weakest had an HP of over 100 million. The strongest could almost surpass 1 billion HP. There was no chance of winning if she planned to do this a hard way without having the manpower of at least 10,000.

Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut, who was wearing a skimpy Flaming Dragon Armor, lay on the ground and had not got up for ten minutes.

It had been almost a month since she was stuck on this floor. She killed more than 100,000 Stone Golems. Unfortunately, there were at least another 100 million more…

“Why can’t I force through? Something feels off…”

She was so caught up in her thoughts her head felt like bursting.

Her Tool for Ascension was the Divine Ring of Teleportation which allowed teleporting on almost any map. The floors below this, no matter how difficult, she need only gently touch her finger and she could easily go through. However, the situation had completely changed on this floor…

On the 65th floor, the objective of the hill stage was to kill all the monsters on the map.

Before all monsters on this map was cleared, the entrance to the next floor would not open at all. It was for this reason that caused her current tragedy.

The treasures in the scorpion cave originally belonged to her, but they were taken away by Li Yi…

“Resurrection!”

Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut resurrected on the spot. She smacked against the ground with her fists that exhibited a golden aura.

“Fist of the Raging Overlord!”

“Bang! Bang!”

Earth shook, countless Stone Golems were unable to stand still, in which they fell to the ground as a result…

During the ongoing effect of the Fist of the Raging Overlord, the Stone Golems could not attack, but as soon as it ended, hundreds of millions of Stone Golems would rise up and drown her.

She hated that thought…

…

“Divine Flames’ Descent!”

“Raging Inferno!”

Every hit of the Fire Goddess was a Forbidden Curse. The number of ants dwindled up to more than 10,000 each second. It was not long before only piles of ashes were left on the entire map…

The Bone-eating Giant Ants were cleaned up by her in just ten minutes.

A portal appeared in front of Li Yi. The objective of this stage was to destroy all the monsters on this map. When they were all eliminated, the portal to the next floor would spawn without delay.

On the next floor, Li Yi encountered the easiest forest stage. He only spent 5 minutes there and was unscathed…

On the 85th floor, the difficulty raised again. It was a desert stage, the map was saturated with gigantic sand fleas.

The objective was the same as those of the Bone-eating Giant Ants. It was obviously for him to use the God Summoning Scroll.

Li Yi used a Water God Summoning Scroll and conquered the 85th floor with ease.

On the 86th floor, Li Yi contacted The Mountain and the Milky Way Star and learned that they were stuck on the 82nd floor.

Li Yi was not sure whether he was the record-breaker for the highest floor achieved at the moment. After all, the number of players in the King of Pantheon was too much. It was not possible to have a few lucky players who had reached the top floors of the Tower.

Li Yi lent The Mountain and Milky Way Star his assistance. His aim was very simple. He merely sought for an answer: Why these two did not become gods in the past life?

In the past life, only one fortunate player succeeded in becoming a god, the rest failed.

In this life, Li Yi understood that he had not really intervened in The Mountain’s destiny. The Mountain of this life was tracing the same steps he took in the past life. He had received the Ascension Quest, which might mean that he had also received one in the past life.

If so, why did he fail to achieve godhood?

Was he stuck at the Arctic stage?

‘Well, I shall lend a hand. Let’s see if he becomes a god!’

Li Yi’s idea was as simple as that.

The King of Pantheon had a few billion players. Although the probability of receiving an Ascension Quest was not much greater than hitting a jackpot worth 5 million, a huge population would mean greater possibilities. Even if one person did not receive the Quest, the same could not be said of others. Fire Ice was a prime example. She had nothing of note besides her demure appearance. Her techniques and intelligence were no better than Sister Windcloud Nine.

However, the likes of her also received the Ascension Quest. To think about it further, was there a lot more players like her who also received the Quest?

Although the above was merely Li Yi’s speculation, he hazarded that more than a few players had accepted the Ascension Quest.

However, no matter how many players received the Quest, only one player ascended to godhood after eight long years in the King of Pantheon!

There must be more than meets the eye.

On the 90th floor of the Tower, it is an underwater stage. Fierce creatures that were larger than sharks were all over the place. At first glance, there were no fewer than a thousand nearby.

One was not allowed to summon mounts within the Tower. In the face of so many thalassic beings, the easiest way for Li Yi was to use the God Summoning Scroll.

“Thunder God, I summon thee!”

With the last scroll torn open, Thunder God held a giant hammer and landed firmly in the water.

“Thunder Barrage!”

“Bzzt-rawrr!”

Brilliant shocks of many thousands of cobalt lightning zigzagged under the sea…
