Chapter 1279: Mythology
They quickly reached the top of the tower. The black tower was growing taller as more and more black creatures climbed over the corpses of their kind before becoming one with the tower. At the moment, it was the tallest tower in the forest of black towers.
Zhang Wei felt conflicted. “Now I get it. All the towers here are results of them stacking up.”
Liao Liao had to look away. “They are building towers with their lives.”
“But why do they need to build so many?” Chen Ying asked.
“They...may not be building towers,” White Dew speculated. “They simply want to climb up. The towers are the byproduct rather than the goal.”
“I agree.” Vermilion Bird nodded. “The towers started out neither big nor tall enough. They toppled halfway. These creatures repeat the same process again and again, resulting in the many towers.”
“How high are they trying to reach?” Adept Horse asked.
Zhang Wei shrugged. “Who knows? Perhaps high enough to reach heaven...”
Suddenly, the giant black tower broke and slowly leaned to one side. It looked like God had accidentally tipped the blocks They had taken a long time stacking. The broken part fell toward them like a plunging space carrier.
Vermilion Bird activated Unreacheable on everyone.
The fallen tower quickly crumbled into the broken bodies of countless black creatures. They howled in frustration and soon exploded into black dust, raining down like a downpour of despair.
