Chapter 653: Chapter 363: A Surge of Gray Mist Earnings

Anyone who understands the situation of High Tower Shen Yu would think the same.

No matter how many BUGs the tower has, they’re not something just anyone can discover and exploit.

It’s no exaggeration to say that in the entire tower, only these thirteen major tower forces have the capability to find and exploit BUGs, achieving effects akin to cheat codes.

No other forces can do this.

Let alone individuals.

Because merely understanding the essence of the tower’s rules requires reaching an extremely powerful level, and influencing or even exploiting them requires considerable research and experimentation.

Even these thirteen major tower forces need an exceedingly long time to potentially discover and control one.

Individuals, especially those as weak, might accidentally discover a BUG, or under very coincidental circumstances, acquire some kind of cheat controlled by a major force.

But for something of this quantity, this degree, like High Tower Shen Yu’s situation,

saying it’s just luck without certain powerful beings’ calculations behind it?

Even the most foolish person wouldn’t think that.

And to some extent, there are indeed "big figures" calculating behind High Tower Shen Yu, that’s quite correct.

However, these big figures aren’t what they imagined.

They stem from beyond the world.

"Since you’re aware of it yourself, then continue to develop within my Celestial Court," stated this Golden Immortal being. After confirming his suspicions with High Tower Shen Yu, he straightforwardly said, "I dare not casually disrupt the calculations of these big figures, but I also dare not easily get involved. I won’t let too many know about your matters."

Indeed, he was just here to confirm.

Not letting too many know means he still planned to report it.

Just so a few might understand.

As for whether those above have other ideas, he won’t concern himself.

After all, he, this so-called Golden Immortal, might not even count as cannon fodder in such levels of confrontation and calculation.

High Tower Shen Yu nodded slightly, indicating his understanding.

He suddenly realized that the abnormalities concerning himself seemed not as bad as initially thought.

Truly, there is too little information in this world.

As for the person before him...

High Tower Shen Yu squinted his eyes. After inquiring in his mind, the next moment, a formidable consciousness, through the roots of the Celestial Dao Tree, along with the obfuscating power of the Gray Mist, completely seized the person before him in an instant, without even alerting the tower’s imprint on him.

Indeed, although the person appeared very open, the Association still mercilessly took action.

After all, this might be the most powerful existence High Tower Shen Yu could encounter in the foreseeable future.

The most crucial part is that if the person reports this matter, it would bring too much uncertainty to the Association.

Even before meeting, this individual had already become a target of the Association.

Though the meeting process exceeded expectations, it didn’t affect the Association’s decision.

Once Wizard Shen Yu completely occupied the person’s consciousness and completed the replacement, High Tower Shen Yu conducted no communication but instead simply saluted and left.

They were well aware that the surveillance of them as adventurers by the tower was comprehensive.

In the rules of the tower, there’s even a restriction like "do not leak secrets."

It’s total control; any spoken words, even the arising of scheming thoughts, would trigger punishment.

The surveillance’s strength is evident.

Moreover, their communication can easily occur through the Celestial Dao Tree or even directly via the Gray Mist.

There’s no need to take risks.

At this moment, Shen Yu truly did obtain some quite critical information from the person’s mind.

Firstly, the competition among the thirteen major tower forces is nothing but a "performance."

It’s to avoid triggering the tower’s higher-level defense mechanisms.

In reality, high-level tower adventurers more or less understand this matter in their hearts.

Additionally, the time these thirteen forces have studied the tower’s rules is much shorter than anticipated, only starting over 13,000 years ago.

It was then that the highest levels of the thirteen forces truly began to cooperate, striving toward a common goal.

Lastly, the most crucial information—the higher-ups in the tower seem to have already become aware of the existence outside the world.

This marks a turning point.

For a civilization that doesn’t understand what lies beyond its world, regardless of the heights achieved on the extraordinary level, it’s easy to lose the courage or goals to explore further upwards.

Thus, they might begin to enjoy, to compromise, to pass endless years in various ways.

However, once a new goal or path is found,

those standing at the world’s summit become entirely different.

They would quickly recall their former selves.

Clearly, this is why those top powers in this world cooperate to a certain extent.

"Is this good news, or bad?"

When the related information was delivered back to the Association, even Shen Yu found himself deep in thought.
