Eternal Tower, Seventh Floor.

  The Frigid Cliff.

  "Whoosh—"

  The biting cold wind sliced through like a knife, seeking out any gaps to penetrate and chill one to the bone.

  Just before Ye Bai entered the seventh floor.

  Several figures cloaked in black robes stood at the peak of the Frigid Cliff, facing each other.

  "We shouldn't be meeting like this; it's too dangerous."

  One of them spoke, their voice altered to sound like a chorus of dozens, both male and female, young and old.

  The weakest among them was a Battle King, and by common sense, they wouldn't be on such a low-level floor.

  Moreover, the Eternal Tower was guarded by Carefree.

  Trying to pull off any tricks under his watchful eyes was akin to courting death!

  The strongest among them spoke slowly,

  "That one began seclusion yesterday."

  This statement reassured everyone present.

  It was well known that once the Supreme Being, Carefree, entered seclusion, he would never show himself or intervene.

  It could be as short as seven days or as long as several years!

  There was once a Great War God facing a life-and-death crisis, and even then, Carefree, being in seclusion, did not come to the rescue!

  Similarly,

  Information concerning the Supreme Being, Carefree, was supposed to be highly confidential, known only to a select few.

  Clearly, the one who spoke earlier held a significant position among the humans.

  Upon hearing this news, a voice, unable to suppress its trembling, spoke with particular fear.

  "Is he... attempting to reach the final floor again?"

  Since gaining fame, the Supreme Being Carefree had always resided in the Eternal Tower.

  His so-called seclusion was for one purpose only: to conquer the Eternal Tower.

  "Yes."

  Upon receiving a confirmed response, the person hurriedly said,

  "This time, the Twelfth Demon God will withdraw from the operation!"

  "It's too dangerous, my master, the Eighth Demon God, is not interested."

  "Farewell."

  Several figures vanished without a trace, as if they had never been there.

  They were all shadowy figures, mid to high-ranking members from various Demonic Sects.

  Since Asura's emergence, their space for survival had been shrinking, with the Fourth Demonic Sect being completely wiped out, and the Cult Leader's fate unknown.

  They knew well that on Asura's path to rise, there was no room for compromise or negotiation between humans and demons.

  The conflict between the two sides would only intensify, with the intensity of the war escalating, and even War God-level powerhouses might fall!

  Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

  The first to be impacted would be these lackeys of the Demonic Sect.

  Such was the trend.

  Many from the Demonic Sect had fled to the Abyssal Plane, never to return to the Blue Planet.

  Those who remained on the Blue Planet mostly had their own tasks and objectives, or harbored the illusion that they wouldn't be discovered.

  Four figures remained on the Frigid Cliff.

  Besides the organizer who had gathered them, there were two War Gods and one Battle King.

  There were always those unafraid of death.

  "Since that one is in seclusion, we can talk a bit more."

  "Make it quick, I only have three minutes."

  "You're the Cult Leader of the First Demonic Sect, right? Do you need people? I have experience as a Cult Leader, I'm optimistic, hardworking, and most importantly, I've always had good luck."

  The three spoke in succession,

  The one in the center, the host, spoke again,

  "Who I am is irrelevant to you. You only need to know that I have Asura's weakness, which can keep him stuck on the seventh floor!"

  The three immediately showed interest.

  "Tell us your plan. If feasible, my master is willing to invest some resources."

  The host spoke again,

  "You know that Asura once killed the Mine Python in 0.01 seconds, which indicates he has extremely high burst capability."

  "That's right, continue."

  "I need each of your Demon Gods to contribute some of their essence to create a monster to replace the seventh floor's BOSS.

  If the plan succeeds, Asura will have no chance of clearing the floor!"

  Words alone were not enough; the host's palm revealed the corresponding information, distributing it to the three.

  The three were all powerful and experienced, able to gauge the depth with just a glance at the information.

  "A two-phase BOSS, interesting."

  "In the first phase, it ignores physical damage, only taking magic damage..."

  "After being killed, it enters the second phase, ignoring magic damage, only taking physical damage."

  They all nodded, satisfied with the information on the document.

  "Alright, even if Asura had considered practicing melee combat, there's no way he could solo the BOSS in such a short time!"

  "Moreover, the second phase comes with high health regeneration, making it indeed capable of stopping Asura."

  "That's right, even I, at level 200, couldn't easily claim victory against this BOSS!"

  "Does the First Demonic Sect really not need a Cult Leader?

  And what about the other two? I have extensive experience in bankruptcy restructuring, skilled at leading a Demonic Sect to rise again."

  What was originally a normal exchange of conspiracies and schemes became awkward due to the constant interruptions by a certain Battle King.

  The three War Gods collectively ignored this joker and continued discussing their plan against Asura.

  "I have one more question."

  A shadowy War God spoke, "The BOSS is indeed powerful, but what if we send a strong fighter to directly eliminate it?"

  A few days ago, a Minotaur Battle General had broken into the first floor.

  Due to severe injuries and a significant drop in strength, the humans didn't take it seriously, treating it as experience fodder for Asura.

  In fact, Asura easily harvested it and gained a lot.

  But this time, the situation was completely different!

  The monster they created using the Demon God's essence had a paper level of only 60, but its real combat power was close to a Battle King!

  In this situation, the humans would definitely send strong fighters to ruthlessly kill it, clearing the path for Asura.

  If that happened,

  Their entire scheme would be for nothing, wasting the Demon God's essence.

  "This is the essence of the entire plan."

  The host said slowly,

  "By leveraging the Eternal Rules of the seventh floor, we create a level 60 BOSS.

  It will come with the trait [All is Illusion]: any being above level 60 cannot harm it!

  And it is precisely because of this trait that I need to gather the essence of many Demon Gods; otherwise, I alone would suffice."

  Upon hearing this, even the previously jovial Battle King was somewhat shocked.

  "The Eternal Rules... can be utilized to this extent?"

  "Could this person be a subordinate of that one?"

  These thoughts, the War Gods only dared to entertain in their minds, not daring to voice them.

  If anyone understood the Eternal Rules best,

  It would undoubtedly be the Supreme Being of the humans, Carefree!

  A Demonic Sect Cult Leader, able to know precisely when Carefree would be in seclusion, and so familiar with the Eternal Rules.

  It's hard not to let one's imagination run wild.

  "Hehehe..."

  There it was, the standard villainous laughter.

  The four present reached an agreement amidst the laughter.

  "The First Demon God, three strands of essence."

  "The Third Demon God, we can contribute two strands of essence, but the method of creating the monster must be shared with us!"

  "The Sixth Demon God, one strand of essence, a pair of War God-level magic eyes, same conditions."

  "The Fourth Demon God..."

  When the Battle King mentioned the Fourth Demon God, the other three simultaneously looked at him, their eyes changing slightly.

  Could it be that Lian Lian really survived?!

  Rumor had it that the oldest and most powerful monster among the Shadows had acted, and he still survived?

  Xiao Xiaole didn't care about the others' gazes, speaking to himself,

  "Let me see how much stock I have left."

  "The Fourth Demon God, twelve strands of essence, I'm all in!"

  His eyes sparkled with excitement,

  "I've always had good luck, I'm betting this time we can stop Asura!"

  A total of eighteen strands of Demon God essence, a pair of War God-level magic eyes.

  Far exceeded the host's expectations, a real surprise.

  With this, the final BOSS's strength could be significantly enhanced, possibly even having a third form!

  "With this, we have a tenfold certainty of stopping Asura!"

  "Asura, you won't clear the floor tonight!"

  The fierce wind blew, and the four figures vanished from the spot.

  Meanwhile, in a cave below the Frigid Cliff,

  A terrifying monster was growing in the shadows, rapidly becoming stronger...

  ...

  Frigid Village,

  A flash of white light, and Ye Bai appeared in the snow.

  In front of him was a bustling crowd, a sea of people, as if he had stumbled into a marketplace.

  "Why is it so lively today?"

  The seventh floor of the Eternal Tower wasn't a solo dungeon and wasn't very difficult.

  Those who could pass floors 3, 4, 5, and 6 generally wouldn't be stuck here.

  Even if they were stuck, they could pay someone to carry them, sacrificing exploration points for a low-score clear, and continue forward.

  The real barriers of the Eternal Tower mostly existed in the solo dungeons.

  Those were the true gates of hell, halting countless people's progress.

  Right now,

  Among the newly awakened students, aside from Asura, almost no one could pass the first six floors.

  The seventh floor was a transitional stage, and it should have been sparsely populated.

  Just as Ye Bai was puzzled, a shout reached his ears,

  "Latest prophecy, latest prophecy!"

  "A BOSS created by the Demon God is hidden beneath the Frigid Cliff!"

  Demon God, BOSS?

  Ye Bai seemed to understand something.

  "These guys, still haven't given up?"

  "Damn, why can't they just stay home and wait to die, why do they have to come out and offer themselves up!"

  Ye Bai's mouth twisted into a smile of anger, even feeling a bit impatient,

  "Let me see what good stuff they're planning to offer this time."
