Han Yu declared, “Don’t put it that way, Cai’er. Yuanyuan was right just before, resurrecting Captain is not solely your responsibility. Ever since our Demon Hunt Squad was founded, how much did Captain sacrifice for us? Although we did not mention it a lot, everything was engraved deep inside our hearts. If we hadn’t had Captain, maybe we would already have gotten wiped out long before. And how could we still be here on this day? How could we have gained the honor of getting called a Titled Demon Hunt Squad. Following Captain in demon territory gave us worth. Now that Captain has died in battle, even paying the cost of each of our lives is worth it if we can bring Captain back to life. This is what every one of us thinks. Without Captain, Bright Glimmer of Hope doesn’t have its soul. We need him to come back to life and keep leading us, to go create even more miracles, to guide us in vanquishing demonkind. Even the Demon God Emperor, Moon Demon God, and Star Demon God had to acknowledge that Captain’s existence threatened all demonkind’s survival, making Captain’s life even more important than all of ours added up altogether. Resurrecting Captain is necessary to see the dawn of the Alliance’s victory: no matter what the cost is, it will be worth it.”

Lin Xin nodded, “Han Yu is right. As long as Captain is resurrected, I am willing to pay any cost. We have finally passed the trials on this fifth floor, but we will have to face even greater challenges next. The opponents will be even stronger, but only the three of us are left now. Cai’er, when it comes to it, you mustn’t stop us no matter what Han Yu and I will have to do.”

Looking at Lin Xin and Han Yu standing in front of her, Cai’er eyes were firm and resolute, already unstoppable by mere words.

Having come so far, they had to keep going forward, otherwise their comrades’ sacrifices would have come to naught. historical

Unbinding Long Haochen’s body from her back, and cautiously placing it onto the ground, Cai’er didn’t argue any longer with Lin Xin and Han Yu. At this point, she could only stay strong. As Long Haochen’s temporary replacement as captain, she had a lot more responsibilities.

Han Yu and Lin Xin sat across Cai’er’s side. Petting the Eternal Melody full of warmth, she declared, “The Tower of Eternity has seven floors in all. When we originally first came, Haochen had been offered Elux’s heritage. At that time, he said that his heritage was on the seventh floor of the Tower of Eternity, but that he had a plethora of trials to pass through before he would be able to meet him. Ten of the twelve holy guards have already showed up before us, so there are only two last ones left now, all of whom will inevitably appear in the next floor. According to the previous disposition, it will very possibly be on the sixth floor that they will appear. In other words, the trials on the sixth floor will most likely be our last ones.”

Han Yu nodded, “It is highly probable. The trials of the fifth floor have all confronted us with domain wielding powerhouses of the ninth step, and the sixth floor will go one step further. It wouldn’t be justified for the seventh floors to also contain trials. If it really needed to be so strong, what point would there be to fight over a heritage?”

Lin Xin asked, “But, what could this trial on the sixth floor taking it one step further be? Based on our previous encounters, we should have to meet a darkness elemental mage and a holy light wielding warrior. Could it be that these two domain wielding powerhouses of the ninth step will appear together?”

From these words, the three of them had looks of total shock.

In fact, one must know that of the six great elements, light and darkness were originally placed above the four natural elements. Therefore wielders of light and darkness were usually be a bit more powerful than wielders of the four natural elements. Even the appearance of only one of these would already be a considerable challenge to them, much less two of them coming together.

Han Yu furrowed his brows, “They should not be coming together, right? That would be just too difficult to handle.”

In contrast, Cai’er shook her head, “I hope that they can appear together.”

“Why?” Han Yu and Lin Xin asked almost at once.

Cai’er replied, “That’s because this is the only way we can pass through this sixth floor. The trials of the Tower of Eternity all gradually get harder, but the last trial is always bound to be much harder than all the previous ones. When we reach the sixth floor, in the case where we only encounter light and darkness elemental powerhouses alone, the increase in difficulty won’t differ too much from previously, at least not qualitatively. But only if they appear together will the increase of difficulty make it plausible as the last trial of the Tower of Eternity. Although such a trial will be much more difficult to face, at least it’s better than afterwards facing a totally unknown other trial. ”

Han Yu murmured, “Actually, it isn’t necessarily a bad things for light and darkness to appear alongside each other.”

“Not a bad thing? That’s two domain wielding powerhouses!!” Lin Xin spoke in incomprehension.

Han Yu replied, “But don’t forget that out of all six great elements, light and darkness are the most conflicting. Tell me, how can light and darkness complement each other? And most of all, let’s speak about domains. Domain are abilities of large scale, acting on a region. If domains of light and darkness appear together, they can only interfere with each other. How could a match even be considered? Maybe, if they appear together, they won’t necessarily make use of domains, which will make it a bit easier for us to respond.”

Cai’er didn’t utter a word, pondering deeply. She was strenuously trying to make guesses, but was still unable to tell what the sixth floor trial could be.

Han Yu looked at Cai’er, “Anyway, how about letting me try out?”

Cai’er rejected with haste, “Out of the question! No matter what trials are awaiting us in the sixth floor, the examinee will be exceedingly powerful. And without sufficient strength, they surely won’t even go all out, so you won’t be able to scout out anything. We have only one chance, to deal with it all in one spurt, and pass through at once. Let’s recover our strength at once: this time, none of you is to go against me. I am the only one who can possibly get through.”

Now formulating more guesses would be of no use. Only by facing it for real would they be able to understand the last floor’s challenges.

The three of them sat cross-legged, rapidly entering a meditative state to recover their spiritual energy. Despite the times of pause between the uses, taking Cojoined Spiritual Pills in such quick succession still caused severe overdraft on their bodies.

They were on the verge of facing the sixth floor, which would very possibly be the very last one. This time, Cai’er didn’t rush, and made sure they recovered their whole capabilities before continuing.

In the sky, the shadow of death was still floating, calmly standing there, and dispersing a faintly discernible grey radiance. Just like a breathing human, every pulse of the aura on it caused the air in the Tower of Eternity to fluctuate slightly.

Cai’er entered the state of cultivation completely. After passing through the previous hurdles, her spirit and strength gradually completed perfect harmonization after having just recovered her memories. At the same time, these few hard battles caused great liberation of her strength, which gained an important increase.

At the time she was back to opening her eyes, even she didn’t know how much time had passed. Lin Xin and Han Yu had opened their both eyes long ago, and all members of Bright Glimmer of Hope were reunited to her side.

Chen Ying’er was resting against Yang Wenzhao’s bosom, Duan Yi supported Sima Xian on his other side, and the pale Wang Yuanyuan and Zhang Fangfang were already awake. Although none of it could be told from their expressions, their breath was much, much weaker than before. Not even fluctuations of spiritual energy could be perceived coming out from them.

“You all came.” Looking at the comrades in front of her, Cai’er couldn’t help but purse up her lips.

“Cai’er, we will succeed at any cost! We will climb to the sixth floor with you at any cost, and do our best for you.” Chen Ying’er’s voice was still very weak, but she spoke with determination.

The others nodded just like her. Maybe they were already unable to do anymore to prepare the way for Cai’er, but they were willing to come even if it would be only for the sake of encouraging Cai’er in the following battle.

Cai’er stood up slowly, giving a look at the Long Haochen lying down peacefully. She did not keep thanking them, because no words would be enough to express her gratitude.

“Having comrades such as you all is really great. Then let’s ascend this sixth floor together!” Saying that, she held Long Haochen, but this time, didn’t attach him to her body using the chain. Turning back, she advanced toward the pillar of light that had already appeared long before.

The shadow of death in the sky followed ahead, and the instant Cai’er disappeared in the pillar of light, it turned into streaks of light, disappearing inside the pillar as well.

Everyone from Bright Glimmer of Hope lent their arms to support each other, resolutely entering the pillar of light. Streaks of radiant light shone, bringing them to the top floors of the Tower of Eternity.

Sixth floor of the Tower of Eternity.

After everyone passed through the teleporting gate, they all unconsciously stared at the same direction.

This floor was different from the fifth floor, arranged around lines radiating from the center. The whole sixth floor of the Tower of Eternity was separated completely into two worlds.

On the left, everything was pitch-black, and on the right was a golden holy illumination. Light and darkness were separated clearly, and at their center was an expense of white energy.

Cai’er cautiously placed Long Haochen on the ground, and turned toward her comrades, “Please take care of him guys. Han Yu, Lin Xin, I’ll need to borrow your powers.” Having Long Haochen on her back would make it hard for her to display the full extent of her strength.

“Yes!” Lin Xin and Han Yu strode forward simultaneously, taking a Cojoined Spiritual Pill each.
