The moment he stepped through the door, a strong sense of oppression came from the void around him, as if it was real.
Qi Yuan felt as if he was surrounded by the void turbulence. Chaotic and disorderly energy filled the surroundings. If it weren't for the existence of the Elemental Force Field – Order, Qi Yuan had no doubt that these chaotic energies would have invaded his body and taken control of it.
"It's too scary outside!"
Ajiu hid in the energy furnace and shivered.
"Don't be afraid. These are dissipated energies. That guy who calls himself the Oracle can no longer control the energy perfectly. This is good news," Qi Yuan said.
Under the protection of the Elemental Force Field – Order, the consumption of energy was not large. These chaotic energies were all shielded outside the force field.
The interior of the tower was dim. Purple light constantly came from the top of the tower. It was the lightning that shot into the void clouds from the top of the tower.
The walls of the tower were also covered with all kinds of strange runes. They looked similar to the energy matrix, but they were much more complicated. Even the data center couldn't analyze the function of these runes.
The dense runes covered the entire interior of the tower.
Qi Yuan keenly discovered that every time the tower shot lightning into the void, these strange runes would emit a faint light, as if they were breathing.
Although the energy within the tower was chaotic and disorderly, Qi Yuan could acutely feel the pressure from the elemental force field — Order Feedback. Every time the tower shot out purple lightning into the void and the runes on the walls glowed, the pressure from the surroundings would lessen.
Could it be that these purple runes and the lightning that shot into the void were all swallowing and spitting out these chaotic energies?
Qi Yuan looked up at the top of the tower. The tower was empty. Except for the metal stairs that surrounded the edge of the tower and extended upwards step by step, the entire tower was empty. There was no trace of the Oracle at all.
However, Qi Yuan knew that the Oracle was in this tower. He was at the top of the tower. Although the chaotic energy in the tower interfered with his perception, the pressure from above would not lie.
The Sign-In Beam would not lie either!
"What are you afraid of?
You don't dare to come up? "A low and heavy voice came from above.
Following the appearance of this voice, the purple runes around the tower began to light up, and the frequency of the lightning bolts shot into the void from the tower began to increase.
After pondering for a moment, Qi Yuan stepped onto the circular staircase at the edge of the tower and walked up step by step.
The voice suddenly became deranged as it let out a low laugh. It then panted for a while before it said in a seductive voice, "You're right.
"Yes, just like that. Walk up to me step by step, with the faith of a pilgrimage!"
Qi Yuan did not respond to the Oracle's provocation. He only raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice with a puzzled expression on his face.
This guy's vitality was indeed tenacious. He had been trapped for more than three hundred years and had not died. However, he seemed to be going crazy!
As Qi Yuan approached step by step, the God Emissary, who was originally showing signs of madness, suddenly calmed down.
Qi Yuan knew that this was the calm before the storm. The Oracle trapped in the tower was accumulating power and waiting for his arrival.
The frequency of the lightning bolts from the tower also gradually slowed down.
Slowly, Qi Yuan could even hear heavy breaths like a broken bellows, like a piece of rusty steel. With every breath, a piece of rust would fall off.
Even if he had not seen this Oracle with his own eyes, Qi Yuan could imagine the tragic situation of the other party. This guy was not only imprisoned, but also subjected to an extremely cruel punishment!
1447 steps. Qi Yuan silently calculated the number of steps he had taken and stopped in his tracks.
There were still 14 metal steps ahead. At the end of the steps was a metal gap big enough for one person to pass through. After passing through the gap, he would reach the top of the tower.
The Sign-In Point and the Oracle were less than five meters away from him, waiting for him!
Qi Yuan looked up at the Sign-In Beam and took a deep breath.
After crossing this hurdle, I will be able to advance to the sixth-order!
Suppressing the ripples in his heart, Qi Yuan stepped up and finally walked through the last 14 steps, passed through the metal door, and stood at the top of the tower.
It was only at this moment that Qi Yuan finally saw the true face of this so-called Oracle.
A naked human man with disheveled hair stood in the middle of the room. A total of 17 red chains as thick as an arm firmly locked him in place.
These chains were all taut and straight. One end was embedded in the wall of the tower, while the other end was inserted into the man's body, as if to tear him apart.
The chains were the same as the walls of the tower. They were also covered with faintly glowing purple runes. Qi Yuan could even clearly feel that these chains were constantly extracting energy from the man's body and then dispersing this energy into the walls.
The scene in front of him made Qi Yuan's scalp tingle. The role of these chains was not only to trap him, but also to extract energy. The energy he felt at the bottom of the tower was not the dissipated energy that the other party could not control, but the energy that was extracted from his body by these chains.
The purple lightning that the tower shot into the clouds in the void was also energy that was extracted from his body!
The purple runes on the chains and walls were used to extract energy from the Oracle's body!
For the past 300 years, the chains had been constantly extracting energy from his body day and night, but he still did not die. There were even purple lightning that shot into the void!
This kind of unimaginable power was almost completely beyond Qi Yuan's understanding.
Another thing that Qi Yuan could not understand was that with just one look, Qi Yuan could tell that this guy who called himself the Oracle was not just a human in appearance. He was actually a human.
"Mortal!"
The Divine Envoy slowly raised his head and exchanged glances with Qi Yuan.
His eyes were filled with fine purple light, and the purple mark between his eyebrows was burning like a flame.
"It's been 300 years. I didn't expect that the first human to walk in front of me would still be so weak!" The Oracle said slowly.
Qi Yuan sneered.
"You are also a human. Why do you look down on the race of your birth?"
The Oracle's body stiffened, and then he began to struggle madly. He even pulled at the chains, making clanking sounds.
"No, I am not a lowly human!
I am the noble Oracle!
I am the Oracle! "The Oracle roared madly.
Qi Yuan looked at him coldly. Under the shackles of these chains, fierce struggles would only bring more pain.
When the Oracle could no longer endure the pain and slowly stopped struggling, Qi Yuan said coldly, "You betrayed the human race.
"You betrayed the human race and became a dog for the god race. The sins you suffered for the past three hundred years are not unjust!"
The Oracle lowered his head and said slowly after a long time.
"No!
I never betrayed! "
"You don't understand what happened 300 years ago!
You don't understand why the new era has come!
You don't know what the Protoss means!
If the Protoss had not come, the human race would still be as weak as ants.
"I represent the ultimate direction of human evolution. If it had not been for that accident, all humans would have had the opportunity to become Oracles. They would have had the same power as me, and not be like you now, struggling on this backward planet."
