Chapter 691 A big gamble

Facing Laias's ambition, Gu Yeming still did not express anything. At this moment, Heka, who had been listening for a long time, finally spoke:

"Having said all that, we've actually found nothing so far, aside from that 'original' [fusion], and haven't found any solution."

"The old man's [power] can only be used within the Trial Tower and cannot affect other areas at all."

"Alright, alright, the speech session is over. As the top guardian of this event, should we also create a one-to-one replica of the old man who is undergoing the trial?"

"Illusion?" Hearing this, Laias chuckled. He waved his hand towards Heka and said seriously:

"In the past, this process would have been essential."

"But now it's different.....Heka."

"Faced with the 'Original' fusion plan, we finally have a corresponding response!"

"Oh?" Hearing this, Heka raised his eyebrows and turned his gaze to Gu Yeming:

"you mean.....?"

"That's right." Laias smiled, his eyes filled with uncontrollable ecstasy, and then he said to Gu Yeming:

"I witnessed your ability in the duel earlier."

"And judging from outside intelligence, you apparently possess abilities similar to those of the 'Original'."

Having said that, he pleaded with Gu Yeming:

"Can you let me witness your abilities again? Take, for example, the second-level guardian, Lin Tian, who was previously devoured by you."

"What I want to ask is...is he dead or alive now?"

Hearing this, Gu Yeming nodded slightly. He waved his right hand, and a dark round hole suddenly appeared. Then, Lin Tian was thrown out with a confused look on his face.

Lin Tian staggered and fell on the crystal ground. He blinked and looked at the floating starry sky and the powerful men with majestic figures around him. For a moment, he had no idea what was happening.

He looked back at Gu Yeming and was about to ask something, but the next second he was taken back in by Gu Yeming.

"How is it?" After doing all this, Gu Yeming placed his arms on his chest and asked in a calm voice.

"Very good...very good!" Seeing the scene before him, Laias became excited. He clenched his fists, his eyes filled with uncontrollable ecstasy, and he muttered to himself:

"Finally...finally found a method other than [Fusion]!"

"I can see that although your ability is similar to [Fusion], it is definitely fundamentally different!"

"Unlike the 'Original' that erased everything, the creatures you devoured weren't directly erased or killed. Instead, they existed in another form in a certain space, or... within your body."

“That’s great… It’s really great!”

"Gu Xiaoyou, you clearly have the potential to break through the Second Shackles Barrier, and compared to 'Original', you are more suitable!"

The strong men beside the crystal round table looked at each other in surprise when they saw this. It was the first time they saw Laias so excited. At the same time, they were secretly surprised that the new top guardian named Gu Yeming next to him was the key person to break the deadlock.

Hearing Laias' words, Gu Yeming's brows slightly raised. He had a vague guess about what was going to happen next, so he asked tentatively:

"So....you are planning to—"

However, before he could finish his words, Laias responded directly:

"That's right! Gu Xiaoyou, it's just what you think!"

"You have the potential and ability to break the second shackles and make things exist in another way."

"Whether it's me or the entire Trial Tower itself, our goal is to break the second barrier of shackles at the lowest cost. For this goal, even sacrificing myself and even the entire Trial Tower is not excessive!"

Having said that, Laias looked at Gu Yeming deeply. He seemed to have made some important decision. He opened his right hand and pointed his palm at Gu Yeming.

Gu Yeming's heart trembled, and he stood up quickly. Just when he thought the other party was going to do something to him, the next second, streams of code data suddenly burst out from Leias's palm.

Gu Yeming's eyes narrowed, and he summoned tyranny. Just as he was about to swing his sword to strike, Laias's voice rang out:

"Don't worry, little friend Gu, I have no intention of harming you. Don't resist. I will transfer the [Power] to you."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yeming still did not stop at all. He always judged others by the standard that others are hell.

Faced with this data stream whose content no one knew, he instinctively adopted a defensive and offensive stance.

Just as he was about to attack, the system prompt sounded at the right time -

[Hint: The Spirit of Trial, Leias, is transferring his power.]

[Transfer in progress]

Gu Yeming stopped when he saw the two system prompt boxes.

The next second, the code data stream was directly connected to his body, and numbers kept flashing around him.

[Transfer successful! 】

[You have obtained the ability: Power]

[Power: Can manage everything in the Trial Tower]

Ok?

Looking at the digital symbols flashing around him, Gu Yeming looked at Laias in confusion.

Leias smiled and said:

"There's a method that's different from [Fusion] that's presented to me. I can't miss it."

"To show my sincerity... I will give you the [Power]."

"Whether I succeed or not, I have tried my best."

"If 'Original' succeeds in the end, it can only mean that everything is fate."

Hearing this, Gu Yeming restrained his tyranny and slowly sat back on the crystal chair. He placed his hands on his chest and asked:

"Are you sure I will fight against the 'Origin' and break the barrier of the Second Shackle?"

"Aren't you afraid that after I gain power... I won't act the way you want?"

"No, you will." However, in response to Gu Yeming's question, Laias just shook his head in denial:

"I've said it from the beginning, Gu Xiaoyou."

"Whether human or any other species, we are all driven by desire."

"You, too, have grown step by step from your birthplace to become the powerful being you are today. When you reach your limit, you will be compelled to take another step forward, or even completely break free from that shackle."

"When you come into contact with things at a higher level, these shackles will naturally break. Your horizons will be broadened, and the upper limit of your strength will be further increased."

"This desire isn't caused by any other factors, nor is it human-induced. Instead, it's hidden within the most fundamental and primal pursuit of every living being: the desire to become stronger."

"So, I won't worry about anything, because I can see that you are not someone who is content with being ordinary. You will definitely find ways to climb up."

"And if you want to climb up, you must fight against the 'Origin' and break the barrier of the Second Shackles."

"This can be considered a gamble, little friend Gu. I've staked everything on you. Regardless of success or failure, I have a clear conscience."

"I'm not placing the weight of the world's survival on you, nor am I morally blackmailing you into taking responsibility for this."

"I hope you can think about yourself first and help them at the same time."

"After all, your interests just happen to align with those of the entire world."

"The traces of the world's existence should not be erased."

"We must not become a victim of the 'Original' in its quest to break the Second Shackles."
