"All information about us, the High Tower adventurers, is under the control of the High Tower," High Tower Shen Yu emphasized, "It even includes the intelligence on my soul’s damage, supplemented through the world’s barrier, as clearly expressed on my personal information panel."

With a raise of his hand, a simulated panel graphic appeared before everyone.

The words "Otherworld Damaged Soul" were indeed clearly written above.

High Tower Shen Yu, in the past, thought this "Otherworld" prefix was relative to the world he traversed to afterward.

It’s only now he realizes this is relative to the entire Tower World! 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

And other Shen Yu were also frowning.

This is not good news; it represents at least one piece of information—that the entire world is under complete control of the High Tower.

Some worlds previously explored also had similar situations.

Like certain Creator Gods, certain embodiments of the Heavenly Dao, Heavenly Dao consciousness.

Exploring such worlds is often very troublesome because any small movement might be noticed.

Just now, with High Tower Shen Yu’s significant transformation, he doesn’t dare to return casually.

Other Shen Yu, needless to say.

"Can’t investigate, must we just watch civilization perish?" Shen Yu also frowned.

However, he didn’t worry for too long.

If for nothing else, the mere quantity of Gray Mist that this world can bring is enough to invest his and the entire Association’s effort and resources.

So, if there’s truly no solution, just use Gray Mist.

Without much hesitation, Shen Yu used the Gray Mist directly.

But this time, the consumption was unexpectedly small.

"So that’s how it is, the means of the High Tower somewhat resemble the Celestial Dao Tree," Shen Yu carefully observed the intelligence obtained through Gray Mist, pleasantly surprised, "Although the current technical level of the Celestial Dao Tree cannot compare to this High Tower, High Tower Shen Yu was just a low-level individual before, and his High Tower imprint isn’t strong; with our current tech foundation, it can easily be extracted."

After extraction, it becomes simple.

Directly forge a High Tower Shen Yu and implant this High Tower imprint.

Of course, the forged High Tower Shen Yu must be restricted in some divine soul and memory aspects.

That’s not difficult.

"However, in that case, High Tower Shen Yu must return to investigate as an ordinary, low-level identity," interstellar Shen Yu looked at High Tower Shen Yu, somewhat worried, "We, in a short period, are likely unable to help much."

"That’s not necessarily true," Shen Yu interrupted at this moment, "I think we can use Gray Mist to assist the Celestial Dao Tree in infiltrating the High Tower Rules. I just asked, and the amount of Gray Mist consumed isn’t as much as imagined."

This statement left many Shen Yu present astonished.

It’s not that they hadn’t considered this; it’s just that in their understanding, the tier of the High Tower World is extremely high, and the control degree of High Tower Rules over the world is also extremely high, making invasion almost impossible.

Even if Gray Mist could do it, the amount required would be astronomical.

Yet no one expected that it wouldn’t require much Gray Mist?

"Gray Mist also provided an answer," Shen Yu’s tone carried a slight sense of relief, "It’s not due to other reasons but simply because the current managers and controllers of the High Tower haven’t appeared to maintain it for a long time."

Instantly, everyone understood the reason.

The High Tower, in fact, much like the Celestial Dao Tree.

Though powerful, Heavenly Dao Rules differ from Material Rules.

Not static, unchanging dead objects.

But instead change continuously over time.

The Celestial Dao Tree also continuously grows.

Thus, for it to remain under the Association’s control, personnel must be arranged for control, management, and maintenance.

Timely monitoring and reporting.

And without long-term personnel management and maintenance, problems will certainly arise.

Even a BUG might occur, which isn’t impossible.

In any case, according to the intelligence from Gray Mist, right now is indeed a perfect opportunity.

"Then it’s decided," Shen Yu, as the association chairman, immediately made a decision, "No matter the potential danger behind the High Tower World, if there’s an opportunity, we should first seize the Gray Mist, even if insurmountable dangers later erupt, it’s not until then that we give up."

Gray Mist remains the foundation of the Association.

If it were general interests, they could wait.

However, Gray Mist interests deserve taking risks.

Based on partial intelligence provided by High Tower Shen Yu, the scale and strength of the High Tower World greatly exceed expectations.

The Gray Mist it might bring exceeds previous amounts.

Therefore, this matter was thus decided.

The Association directly used Gray Mist to create a new body for High Tower Shen Yu and implanted his High Tower imprint within.

Even invaded and modified the High Tower imprint to ensure High Tower Shen Yu’s avatar won’t easily be exposed.

And implemented certain intelligence shielding.

Then, the most critical part—the Association implanted a specially modified Celestial Dao Tree using Gray Mist into High Tower Shen Yu’s avatar’s body.

Naturally for the purpose of infiltration.

Thus, after High Tower Shen Yu’s consciousness entered this body, he returned to his world.

Feeling the unchanged body and power from the past, High Tower Shen Yu couldn’t help but be moved.

"Even though it’s only for a short time, the feeling of such powerful strength and high status is truly fascinating."

But admiration aside, High Tower Shen Yu knows that his status has indeed reached such a level now.

The body now, on the other hand, is merely a discardable avatar.

However, to save this world and obtain more Gray Mist, the importance of this avatar is self-evident.

"If it’s just memory, it might be difficult to become powerful quickly," High Tower Shen Yu contemplated, used Gray Mist to inquire a few questions in his mind.

Then, his face revealed joy.

To better save his world, the Association’s efforts this time truly went all out.

Granted High Tower Shen Yu substantial loans.

Authentically substantial!

At this moment, High Tower Shen Yu asked whether his panel could be modified to some extent.

Even with the prerequisite of not being discovered, the amount of Gray Mist consumed remains modest.

Just like Shen Yu previously inquired.

The High Tower Rules have developed numerous BUGs after prolonged absence of maintenance.

"First, arrange for me a world with extreme difficulty, but I can solve relatively easily with knowledge of intelligence..." High Tower Shen Yu prepared some custom replicas for himself directly!

Such worlds aren’t scarce in the High Tower.

For instance, some mechanism monsters.

Under normal circumstances, it’s all deaths, completely insurmountable; therefore, the death rate is high, difficulty is high.

However, once aware of the rules, understanding the mechanism, it becomes quite simple.

Such worlds within the High Tower World are known as "Gambler Worlds."

But if victory is guaranteed, then it’s not gambling!

"A hundred years? No, I don’t need that long at all!" High Tower Shen Yu took a deep breath and entered the replica.

Meanwhile, the Celestial Dao Tree within his body is stealthily, skillfully penetrating the High Tower system.

Even occasionally encountering some countermeasures undetected by the Celestial Dao Tree due to technical advantages, these are controlled by various means under the effect of Gray Mist.
