Tower: Rebirth of the Absolute Demon-Chapter 31: Ch : The Trials Begins

"Well... you got anything to say now?" Ye Tian demanded, his voice sharp, laced with authority.

The moment his aura surged, the ethereal world trembled.

The sheer force of his soul power, cultivated over countless eons as a Supreme Creator, erupted like a tidal wave.

Yin and Yang, once arrogant and mocking, were slammed to the ground, their divine and demonic energies cracking under the pressure.

"M-My Lord! Please, forgive us!" Yin cried out, his voice shaking as he struggled to stay coherent.

Yang followed suit, his golden aura flickering weakly.

"It is an honor to see you alive and well, My Lord!"

Ye Tian narrowed his eyes, stepping forward. His demonic-red pupils burned like molten fire.

"Happy, my ass..." His voice was a venomous growl, reverberating through the void.

"Weren’t you two just calling me an ’asshole’ not even a moment ago? Mocking me? And even after eons, you’re still backbiting like the petty trash I remember."

The nine massive dragons behind him roared in unison, shaking the very fabric of their realm.

The sheer murderous intent radiating from Ye Tian was palpable.

Yin and Yang’s trembling intensified as they lowered their heads further, their once-proud auras reduced to flickers of light and shadow.

He exhaled deeply, his murderous aura dissipating slowly. He had no time to waste on them.

They were pathetic, yes, but they were also his only potential allies in this peculiar predicament.

"Apologies..." Yin stammered, his voice filled with desperation.

"We misspoke... It was foolish... Truly foolish of us."

Yang nodded fervently.

"A grave mistake, My Lord! Please forgive our insolence. We were too lost in our faded glory."

Ye Tian’s voice was cold as he crossed his arms.

"Fine. Now tell me, what happened after I disappeared?"

The two marbles exchanged a glance, guilt and helplessness visible in their faint glow.

"We don’t know much, My Lord..." Yang confessed.

"The moment you vanished, we were imprisoned here, our consciousness sealed in this subspace. With no master to sustain us, our powers began to fade rapidly. We’ve been trapped here, watching, waiting, and weakening."

Ye Tian’s crimson eyes glinted as he thought for a moment.

"Hmm."

He then explained everything he had experienced... about the Tower, the System, the trials, and the bizarre mana-filled world outside.

The more he spoke, the more troubled Yin and Yang’s expressions became.

When he finished, Yang’s voice was grim.

"If this is true, My Lord, then it means someone has reached the realm of a Supreme Creator once again."

"How is that possible?" Ye Tian asked sharply.

Yin’s voice was heavy with regret.

"We do not know. Our powers don’t function in this broken state. Whoever this is, their abilities exceed even our comprehension now. We are of no use."

Ye Tian’s aura surged again, suffocating them with its pressure. His voice dropped into a deadly whisper.

"If you can’t help me... then I’ll just absorb you both. At least I’ll ascend to the Nascent Soul Realm, even if it means tearing you apart."

The two marbles quivered, their energy flaring in panic.

"My Lord!" Yin stammered.

"Wait! We may have a solution."

"Speak..." Ye Tian demanded, his patience thin.

Yang quickly explained...

"We believe there’s a way for us to merge with this so-called System. If the Tower approves, we can regain a fraction of our powers and assist you throughout your journey."

Yin chimed in.

"But there’s a risk. The Tower’s approval is uncertain. If it refuses, we will lose even this limited existence."

Ye Tian smirked darkly.

"That’s your problem, not mine. Do it."

Before they could respond, his aura exploded outward, shattering the soul realm around them like fragile glass.

The ethereal fog vanished as his consciousness returned to his body.

When Ye Tian opened his eyes, a System window hovered in front of him.

---

[The rewards, The Karma Beads, have been registered.]

[The Karma Beads are attempting to merge with the System of Player Ye Tian.]

[Contacting the Tower for approval...]

[The Tower is surprised.]

[The Tower has taken a liking to you.]

[The Tower accepts the proposal, as this is nothing more than a reward.]

[Merging System with the Karma Beads.]

---

Ye Tian’s smirk widened. "Smart choice."

---

[Time until completion: 2 hours.]

[Player Ye Tian, having chosen his rewards, will now return to the original world.]

[The Tower is watching you.]

---

In a flash of light, he was teleported back to reality.

The familiar sight of the corpse-laden battleground greeted him.

The mangled body from his previous encounter remained untouched.

Time had reset to the exact moment he had entered the Divine Treasury.

"Not bad..." Ye Tian muttered, brushing dust off his clothes.

His thoughts were interrupted by an announcement that echoed across the heavens.

The angel’s voice was as serene as it was chilling.

"The trials will begin in exactly five minutes! Look at your System windows for information. I wish you all... a lovely bloodshed."

Her voice faded, and with it, she vanished, leaving no trace behind.

As her announcement ended, a System window appeared before every human being on Earth. The text was identical, regardless of their status, age, or abilities.

---

[The Trials are a series of survival games at the lowest difficulty.]

[They consist of five stages: Apocalypse, Survive, Hunt, Kill, and Sacrifice.]

[Players who survive all five stages will be eligible to enter the Tower.]

[Players will be awarded after each stage based on their performance and achievements.]

[Exceptional players may receive special privileges.]

[The first trial, Apocalypse, will begin in five minutes.]

[Details about the Apocalypse Trial will be shared soon.]

Ye Tian stared at the screen, his expression unreadable.

He tapped his fingers against his arm, his mind racing through possibilities.

"So... the Tower wants to play games, huh?" His lips curled into a smirk.

"Fine. Let’s see who breaks first."

As he prepared himself, the ground beneath his feet trembled faintly.

Somewhere in the distance, he could hear panicked voices and the cries of the unprepared.
