Chapter 1614
While Felix was resting, there were actually two old men at the very top of the Tower of Divinity. One was the same spirit who had met with Felix, Alaife. The other, who bore a striking resemblance to him, was the spirit of the Tower of Babel, Delic.Both of them stood with respectful expressions, their gazes fixed ahead, toward a man with an almost delicate beauty.Yes, a man—his features were soft and symmetrical, and his skin was so pale that it looked almost ethereal, nearly impossible to describe in words."Sir," the two spirits said in unison, bowing low.If anyone had seen this moment, they would've been absolutely shaken—because it meant that the man standing before them was the true master of both towers."The Star-Seers… No matter how vast the cosmos becomes, they always manage to find the next savior. After all these years, even I haven't figured out how they do it," the soft-featured man murmured with admiration. Alaife replied, "With your divine insight, sir, if Fel

Days passed, one after another. What had once shocked everyone gradually became routine and, eventually, just background noise.At first, people thought that Felix spending a whole month on the ninth floor of the Tower of Babel was already mind-blowing. But then, he entered the ninth floor of the Tower of Divinity and still didn't come out.With only three days left before the one-year training phase ended, the unthinkable had happened—Felix still hadn't shown up.Julius mumbled, "Dude, tell me I'm not hallucinating."Most had stopped entering the towers by now. With just three days left, no one expected any significant progress, so they were all resting outside, including Xenon and Julius. Xenon scoffed. "You think it's just you? Everyone's watching. I gotta say, man, this guy really doesn't take the normal route."Julius shook his head, clearly torn between awe and disbelief. Felix was still on the ninth floor of the Tower of Divinity, which was unheard of. Everyone knew the

At this point, the area beneath the Towers was no longer bustling with crowds like before. The only two people still waiting around were Julius and Xenon. They both knew Felix had to come out today, no matter what. It wasn't until sunset that Felix finally appeared."Felix, I thought you were planning to drop out of the finals altogether," Julius said.Felix frowned at first, but he managed a weak smile when he realized who was speaking. "Oh, it's you guys. You've been waiting for me?""Obviously! Come on, let's grab a drink. The finals start tomorrow," Julius said.Felix nodded and followed them, still slightly dazed. To him, it felt like nearly two years had passed. He'd already lost a month early on, so technically, it had been a year and ten months. Felix had stayed so long inside the Tower of Divinity without feeling tired or hungry—it was like Alaife had somehow suppressed those needs. He had frowned earlier because, after all that time, he had managed to create his own cul

Chelsea had appeared out of nowhere, dropped that one line, and vanished without another word.Felix smiled faintly in response, but Julius and Xenon felt a chill run down their spines as they wondered what was happening. After all, Chelsea was currently ranked number one, undisputed. So, why would she be looking forward to fighting someone like Felix, who barely scraped into the top 50?The two exchanged confused glances before looking at Felix, who only shrugged and smiled. "Don't look at me. I've got no idea either."None of it made any sense. They couldn't wrap their heads around whatever Chelsea was up to.Now, trying to shift gears, Felix asked, "So the upcoming matches are all one-on-one, right?"Julius nodded. "Yeah, that's for sure. The format always varies slightly, but it's always solo duels in the end."If they followed Earth's old-school tournament style, 200 people doing one-on-one matches would take forever. Felix only considered it for a second, though, because he
Chapter 1618
Each of the floating islands had people gathered on them, but the front row—closest to the thick white mist—was lined with ornate thrones. It was clear at a glance that anyone sitting on those thrones wasn't your average bystander.Behind the thrones, more spectators hovered midair, suspended in the sky as if gravity didn't apply to them. However, every single person had their eyes locked on the white mist ahead. On one of the islands, a pair of twins sat side by side on their thrones, engaged in quiet conversation. The younger twin, Diego Sweeney, leaned toward his brother and asked, "Galileo, have you made up your mind on your bet? The finals are about to kick off."Galileo Sweeney replied calmly, "Chelsea's odds are way too low. There's no point betting on her—I want to go big.""Fair. No one expected Star Alliance to shake things up by bringing in the Towers. With that kind of data, it's pretty obvious Chelsea will win. But if that's how you feel, who are you putting your mone
Chapter 1619
Every year, during the finals of the Rank-Ascending Competition, the betting market opened—and it was always a high-stakes affair. Some families became overnight billionaires, while others lost everything. Since Star Alliance itself hosted the betting pool, there was no limit to how much you could wager, so the numbers involved were staggering.While the crowd outside the mist was going wild placing bets, inside the fog lay a massive mountain. All across the slopes were stone-built structures, clearly the product of some grand architectural feat. Whoever had designed it hadn't just built on the mountain—they had turned the entire mountain into a fortress-like city.Felix stood at the base, with the nearest competitors over half a mile away on either side. At his current level, that distance shouldn't have affected his vision at all—yet the others appeared as nothing more than vague silhouettes, just barely human-shaped.This was the doing of the white mist. According to the rule

There was one more rule—contestants weren't allowed to stop moving unless they were in combat. It didn't matter if you walked slowly or sprinted, as long as you kept moving, you were safe. This was to prevent anyone from camping out inside buildings to avoid fights; while others could still sense your presence if they passed nearby, it would definitely reduce the chances of being challenged.Felix chose to walk at a normal pace, taking his time to admire the massive architecture of Cliffspire. All around him were crumbling ruins and fractured stone walls, hinting at just how many brutal battles this place had seen in the past.From time to time, Felix found himself wondering just how advanced Star Alliance technology had become. A single Starmark could instantly teleport someone between planets—just that alone was something Earth could never achieve, even with 1000 more years of development.Yet even with all that tech, Star Alliance still valued one thing above all else—personal
Chapter 1621
Felix didn't know that the one-mile sensing limit would barely give him any warning in advance.After turning a corner, he stopped in place. He had already sensed someone nearby. Sure enough, just around the bend, he spotted a young man crouching on the roof of a stone house not far away, a mocking smile plastered across his face."Well, well. Look who it is. I never thought I'd run into Felix Zeller, the famous tournament favorite," the man said.It was York Liamson. Though his words sounded like praise, the sarcasm dripping from them couldn't have been more obvious to Felix."Cut the crap," Felix said coldly. "Let's do this."York sneered."You're trash from a barbaric planet, and your talents are limited. I've made it to the tenth floor of both the Tower of Babel and the Tower of Divinity. Are you sure you want to fight me? I can be pretty merciful sometimes, you know. I'll even give you a chance to surrender right now."Felix remained expressionless."Did you talk your way
