"Ah, about this question. It's tough to say."
"Hard to say."
"Not to say good."
Wen Xishu never expected that even though he had received the constellation invitation, he would still get such an answer.
His expression grew increasingly unpleasant, and the black deceitful head sensed that the atmosphere wasn't right:
"All right, let me reveal a little."
"The twelve constellations are not true gods, but if each of them dies one by one, the last one standing... well, will become a true god."
"They have their own tasks and challenges to face, and the invitation is to invite you to help them."
"I can only congratulate you; all your completed endings keep raising your favorability with the Gemini lord, but I suggest that you don't easily use the invitation."
"Do not open the invitation before your strength is strong enough."
The black deceitful head had a solemn expression.
Wen Xishu thought for a moment and said:
"How difficult would it likely be? What style of tasks? Slaughter Tower? Deceit Tower? Desire Tower? Equivalent to a hundred-floor level?"
The black deceitful head shook his head:
"No, the difficulty might be very low or very outrageous, who knows."
"But what is certain is that completing the tasks will strengthen your connection with the Gemini lord. You will gain some power, or even... you could make the Gemini lord owe you a favor."
"Perhaps you could consider opening the invitation when you are in a desperate situation, with absolutely no way to break through the predicament."
"You might die in the world the invitation leads to, or you might gain great opportunities and find a way to change the situation and break the predicament when you return."
"Bam bam bam~ Only one person has opened this thing before, and that person never returned to the bunker."
Obviously, these words carried an extremely strong warning.
Although Wen Xishu loves climbing towers, he also knows that high-level towers are not something he can handle at this stage.
After thinking for a while, Wen Xishu eventually nodded:
"I understand. I will take your advice and won't easily open it."
The guide of the Three Towers said:
"The Great Devourer has ended. Will it take long for you to climb the tower next time?"
Wen Xishu shook his head:
"Of course not, we will meet again soon."
The black deceitful head smiled:
"Looking forward to seeing you again~"
...
...
Bunker.
At the moment the "double yolk" descended, all the observers in the safe house gasped.
The fall of this giant sun meant that Wen Xishu had once again completed a legendary challenge.
At this moment, it was midnight, and the ceiling of the bunker had already simulated the glow of nighttime.
As the disintegration of the Great Devourer reached one hundred percent and the final orange vortex fell—
The entire second layer of the bunker's sky finally returned from a reddish-orange to a simulation of endless stars.
Nightfall, on the contrary, seemed like the birth of light.
"Quick, notify everyone, alert the guards on all layers, notify the Three Towers Academy, the Bunker Security Bureau, and the cadres of the Civil Affairs Bureau, and inform the elders at the top!"
"Tell everyone! The Great Devourer is completely over!"
In the safe house, Atreus, the vice president of the Stone Gamble Association and the strategist, was giving excited orders. In fact, he did not need to order, as the president of the Stone Gamble Association, Xu Tushi, who was ranked sixth in the Slaughter Tower Celestial Ladder, was also present.
It wasn't just him; when the disintegration progress of the Great Devourer reached ninety-nine point nine percent and Wen Xishu was about to triumph after destroying the last orange vortex—
The cadres of the Bunker Security Bureau had also arrived.
The place was once again crowded with people, including teachers from the Three Towers Academy. They had gathered here just to witness the fall of the final orange vortex.
As the vortices in the sky gradually disappeared, everyone became excited.
Under Wen Xishu's godlike performance—
The history of the bunker now held a brilliant record, as humanity had minimized casualties during the disintegration of the Great Devourer and achieved positive gains.
The elevators from the second to the third layer of the bunker were now densely packed with people.
Those maintaining order on the elevators were also smiling. Not only them but all the people on the second layer's lower level were in high spirits. Their discussions mainly went like this—
"It's over... the Great Devourer is really over, and we're still alive! Our whole family is still alive!"
"My house is saved? The house I paid 50,000 merit points as a down payment for and have to climb the Slaughter Tower twice a month to pay the mortgage! It's saved!"
"We don't have to move! Really don't have to move! I still remember my uncle saying that once we get to the third layer, those people will desperately increase the rent and raise the price of supplies! Those who made a fortune from war before profited a lot!"
"Whether rich or poor! Go home for New Year!"
"This is like a dream. In just a few days, the Great Devourer is over. Wen Xishu is simply my god!"
Many of those present were members of Xishu Divine Teaching.
In fact, a few hours earlier, Wen Xiangge, the great elder of the Xishu Divine Teaching and its true founder, had already met with Albert and Evelyn.
With the approval of Elder Evelyn, the Xishu Divine Teaching would have additional disaster relief warehouses. The function of these warehouses was to solve the food and clothing issues of the lower levels in a short time.
The status of Xishu Divine Teaching, whether because of Wen Xishu or the operations of Wen Xiangge, would be elevated to an extraordinary degree.
In ancient times, great nations had state religions. Xishu Divine Teaching might very well become the "bunker sect."
