"Could it be that all the powerful things in Babel Tower so far have been forcefully obtained by the God of Games through winning and losing games?"

The scene in front of them was truly awe-inspiring.

Bai Yan had this guess in his mind, but he couldn't be certain.

Suddenly, he realized something, if this was true... the God of Games would be incredibly powerful.

"Yes, this doesn't make sense!"

Bai Yan shook his head with a smile, thinking that the mysterious and unpredictable things inside Babel Tower couldn't have been created by the God of Games or the Connector.

There is the power of Outer Gods within Babel Tower, even the power of the origin and the god of sacrifice. If the God of Games managed to defeat them and steal their power, it would be too exaggerated.

No matter how powerful the God of Games is, at most, they are a higher deity. Even if they are much stronger than ordinary gods, they are still on a different level.

They still have obvious differences from Outer Gods.

Bai Yan knew deep inside that the Outer Gods were the ultimate beings, existing at the pinnacle of existence and nothingness, representing a transcendent and powerful force.

Even in the vast and infinite multiverse, there couldn't possibly be any divine being capable of defeating all the Outer Gods.

If such a powerful being truly existed, they would have been classified as an "Outer God" from the moment of their appearance.

The God of Games, perhaps, was not truly qualified.

So, Bai Yan calmed down and continued to listen for the following information.

The "self" from that memory spoke again.

"Instead of the God of Games, I'd rather you call me... the God of Games."

"Games, the ongoing activities of all things, never ceasing, drive the actions of various creatures in the multiverse, shaping the present and the future, determining one possibility after another."

Suddenly, the tone became more triumphant.

"I am the God of Games, and I will become the new Outer God!"

The one-eyed deity fell into silence and finally made his decision in this game.

"I choose..."

Just then, the fragments of memories reached their end, and Bai Yan quickly detached his consciousness from this "immersive VR."

"Although I haven't seen the end, I also know the final outcome."

Bai Yan understood that the one-eyed deity had probably lost because the Golden Palace had already entered the Babel Tower and was pulled out from the pool to become its own possession.

He also discovered the former Lord of the Tower's purpose, the God of Games, no, the goal of the God of Games was... to become the new Outer God!

To be honest, this was almost impossible.

Outer Gods are different from ordinary deities; you could say it's like every kind of vegetable having its own specific spot. Before this round of multi-dimensional universes were born, Outer Gods already existed.

They didn't come from "upgrading", but rather they have existed since the "beginning".

How can ordinary gods become Outer Gods?

Bai Yan couldn't understand.

It's not just him who couldn't understand, anyone or any god who hears such nonsense would find it incomprehensible.

Just like an ancient dragon standing tall, saying it wants to become the sky... Ancient dragons can become bigger, stronger, wiser, but they can't become the so-called "sky".

No matter how much an ordinary person exercises, they can never become a lion or tiger.

"But what if he didn't 'exercise', but instead obtained even more 'extraordinary' power? Completely breaking the norm?"

Bai Yan suddenly felt that anything was possible, maybe there really is such a miracle that can bring the God of Games closer.

After all, extraordinary powers are also something that ordinary people can't understand, right?

Maybe I am just not very experienced.

However, the specific situation and truth don't need to bother me right now.

Bai Yan muttered to himself, "In the end, it's all in the past. The Lord of Tower, who was once known as the God of Games, is no longer the same. I wonder where the God of Games has gone, perhaps transformed into someone named Bai Yan... But the current Bai Yan doesn't care about the aspirations of the God of Games."

After saying that, he reached out to touch the next dark fragment of memory.

This is the last one.

Once again, Bai Yan immersed himself into the memories of the past.

"So that's how it is."

——

As Bai Yan opened his eyes once again, he felt a mix of emotions.

"This is the truth about the power of Connector... No wonder he is special."

He took a deep breath and changed his awareness.

Inside the Babel Tower, the real Bai Yan slowly woke up, still able to feel his presence in the dream dimension... just like how humans can feel their own arms.

"Hmm, let's see how the investigation into Blank Fire by Babel Tower is going... how far have they traced it..."

Bai Yan had been lingering in the depths of his dream for a while, leaving the investigation of Blank Fire completely to the others in Babel Tower and the Imperial Guards. Now it was a good time to check the situation.

Change of perspective.

Bai Yan's awareness instantly "arrived" in Mu Ling's field of vision.

This was a Babel Tower feature that he didn't often use... sharing vision with the members of Babel Tower.

Mu Ling had no idea what had happened, and she didn't know that the consciousness of the great Savior had already descended into her own body.

Bai Yan found that in this state, he understood Mu Ling's body better than she did herself.

He suddenly frowned.

In the current scene, Mu Ling in the dream was staring blankly at the white flame along with other people.

Mu Ling, Maryse, World, and Shi Nianyu... Apart from Bai Yan, everyone who entered the dream was gathered in a pure white empty world.

They just traced a possible mastermind from the dream of the shopkeeper, and then collectively jumped into the other person's dream through Recluse's ceremony.

As a result, in this dream, they realized that there was actually nothing here, only a vast white land and white flames with black borders floating in the air.

And this is the true form of Blank Fire!

For a moment, everyone on the scene was enchanted by Blank Fire, without exception.

Even the normally strong-willed Mu Ling and Alan were captivated by its mystery, not to mention Mr. "World" himself!

Only Bai Yan, who was outside, wasn't fooled by it and realized what it was... It was the power coming from the Steel Throne.

Even the true strong, like "world," couldn't easily escape from the power of the gods.

Not good, this is a trap!

Bai Yan suddenly realized that, it was a trap set by the Steel Throne!

"That's right, the mighty gods would predict in advance that someone would intervene, and they would set traps for those who might do so, it's just a normal thing."

[Wake up, Nightsaber.]

[I command you... wake up!]

A cold and indifferent command deep within her soul made Mu Ling's heart tremble. She suddenly realized that she had been staring at Blank Fire for a long time.

"What happened..."

Mu Ling was a little surprised. She noticed that everyone around her had become frozen, unable to move. Their eyes were fixed on the Blank Fire floating in mid-air, captivated by its presence.

"Even Mr. World..."

Mu Ling closed her eyes, afraid to look any longer. She took a deep breath, trying to find a solution to the current dilemma.

What exactly is that thing?

Just as she finished thinking, Mu Ling heard a familiar voice in her mind, comforting and reassuring.

[The flames created by the magical power of the Steel Throne.]

[Possessing its own essential power...]

Honestly, Bai Yan didn't know what to do at that moment. But letting them stay there was definitely not a good idea.

"Find a way to make them leave immediately."

However, as soon as Bai Yan had this idea, he realized it was too late.

Suddenly, Blank Fire created a strange suction.

Recluse, an old man who was knowledgeable in various rituals, was the first to be affected. His spirit was silently drawn in and instantly consumed by the white flames!

There was no struggle, nor any resistance... This genuine Crown level Imperial Guard's soul was simply destroyed and disintegrated by the power of the Steel Throne.

As Bai Yan gazed at the image of Blank Fire, he finally understood why the rewards for this event were more abundant than any previous ones.

This is the true beginning of a mission challenging the gods!

Blank Fire!

It originates from the Steel Throne and represents "progress" flames!

And progress naturally requires kindling!
