Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops

Parian and Qin Chuan were not close by; they had to traverse most of the Beligo Territory to reach each other.

Taking out the Heavenly Dome Rank Map for comparison, Qin Chuan quickly had an idea.

"We'll take this route." His finger traced a path on the map, "This way, we can stop by the Warrensoke Mysterious Tower."

He was still curious about the places he had conquered.

In the previous conquest, he had been inside the Mysterious Tower the entire time.

Now he could finally see what the Mysterious Tower looked like from outside.

"Okay." Lin Yue carefully checked and compared, then nodded.

In comparison with other routes, this one was no more dangerous.

Since Qin Chuan wanted to see the Mysterious Tower, she naturally had no objections.

Soon, the two figures disappeared into the valley.

-----------------

Warrensoke Mountain, located in the eastern outskirts of the Beligo Territory,

was a place where the Dwarf Demon Clan of the Beligo Territory had thrived long ago.

Later, a mysterious tall tower was erected on the mountain, and overnight, the Dwarf Demon Clan living there disappeared without a trace.

Some said that the Dwarf Demons hadn't disappeared; they all lived inside that tower, where the finest equipment and creations of the Dwarf Demon Clan were hidden.

Many people thus harbored the idea of exploring the tower, but without exception, they ended up like the once-vanished Dwarf Demons and never reappeared.

The tall tower, standing high on the clouded mountaintop of Warrensoke Mountain, came to be known as the Warrensoke Mysterious Tower.

At the foot of Warrensoke Mountain, there was a lonely little town.

This place was the closest settlement of living beings to the Warrensoke Mysterious Tower.

Because of the Mysterious Tower, few people came here.

And today, this small town welcomed two visitors.

With two Truth Pills in hand, Qin Chuan and Lin Yue entered the town.

"Do you intend to go to the Mysterious Tower?" a Crystal Clan woman who had stopped them to ask for directions looked at them in astonishment, her expression seeming to say, "Is it not better to live? Why venture to such a doomed place?" "I suggest you abandon that idea."

"We're just looking to find out a bit more," Qin Chuan said with a smile, feigning casualness as he asked, "Has anything unusual happened on Warrensoke Mountain in the past few months?"

"Nothing," the Crystal Clan woman replied without hesitation, then seeming to remember something, glanced at the mountainside outside the town, "Well, perhaps there is one thing."

"What is it?" Lin Yue asked curiously.

Yet the Crystal Clan woman didn't speak immediately but looked at Lin Yue with a peculiar expression, "Why do you think I would tell you this news for free?"

"Please, you are a Half-demon, and I am from the Crystal Clan."

"Is this enough?" Qin Chuan retrieved a bottle of light-red potion from the Item Equipment Bar and handed it to her.

A green item, Life Spirit Water, has certain life-recovering effects.

Anticipating such a situation, Qin Chuan brought some common green and blue items on Feng Yin's advice, to serve as currency for dealings with other clans.

"A little concoction by Moon Spirit?" The Crystal Clan woman took it with interest, looked at it for a moment, and then expressed satisfaction, "About a month ago, the mist over Warrensoke Mountain suddenly thinned a bit."

"Many daring folks thought this was evidence of the Warrensoke Mysterious Tower weakening, but unfortunately..." The Crystal Clan woman shrugged, "Their luck did not work out."

"Like those who entered the Mysterious Tower before them, they never came out again."

"Isn't the lord of the Beligo Territory from the Dwarf Demon clan? Doesn't he care at all about what happens to his clansmen?" Qin Chuan suddenly asked.

"I find that strange too, but the fact is, since that lord came to power, the Dwarf Demon Clan that later entered the Beligo Territory has never passed through here." The Crystal Clan woman shook her head.

Parian had never come here...

Qin Chuan appeared thoughtful.

He suddenly recalled a minor detail from when he conquered the S-class instance, Warrensoke Mysterious Tower.

The Warrensoke Mysterious Tower didn't have just one instance boss.

Apart from the Clan Leader Lanso, corrupted by sinister energies, there was another named Mysterious Shadow·Lelian.

Later, Qin Chuan speculated that it might be a twisted life form formed by the fusion of the entire Dwarf Demon Clan under the sinister energies, perhaps even including explorers who had entered the Mysterious Tower.

After defeating Lelian, Qin Chuan had gained some memory images.

In these memories, there was a scene that had made a strong impression on him.

It depicted the Dwarf Demon Clan preparing to build the Mysterious Tower.

As they began to excavate the foundation, they accidentally uncovered a Dwarf Demon corpse.

The Dwarf Demon's corpse bore a strange mask, neither crying nor smiling, and no one in the Dwarf Demon Clan recognized the face beneath.

Where did this Dwarf Demon corpse come from? Could it be related to Parian and the existence of another line of Dwarf Demons?

Normally, this would be a domestic affair of the Dwarf Demons, and Qin Chuan needn't intervene, but the involvement of sinister energies made him somewhat concerned.

After pondering for a moment without reaching any conclusion, Qin Chuan shook his head slightly, "Thank you for your answer, goodbye."

With that, he took Lin Yue's hand and turned to head towards Warrensoke Mountain.

"Hey! Considering the Recovery Potion, let me remind you again, no one who has entered the Mysterious Tower has ever come out alive!"

The Crystal Clan woman shouted, seeing that their steps did not falter, she shook her head helplessly, tossed the recently acquired Life Spirit Water into the air and caught it, then left with brisk steps.
