Chapter 1785: Chapter 1782: The Scene at the Tower’s Apex
The upper district can also be referred to as the [Tower Top].
If the middle district houses the core buildings of each department of the Black Tower,
then the upper district concentrates the highest permissions of the Black Tower… Anything involving high-level permissions requires the tower top’s approval before it can be executed.
Relevant personnel are generally not allowed to go to the tower top,
and unlike the connection between the lower and middle districts, there is no exclusive elevator.
There is simply no [pathway] leading to the upper district between the Black Tower buildings, and most are unaware of how to reach the upper district.
Except for members of the Supreme Will and a very few exceptions, such as established individuals like the mayor or candidates like Han Dong, almost no one can reach the tower top.
Additionally, due to various confidentiality requirements,
about 99% of individuals between the Black Tower have absolutely no idea what the tower top is like.
In the Black Tower information that Han Dong currently has access to, besides the [Supreme Will], there is not a single building or organization related to the upper district.
Being extremely curious about what it is like up there,
he rushed to the “front door” of the Other Shore Hotel as soon as he received the information.
Mr. M, dressed in a neat white suit, was already standing at the door, staring at his watch, “Nicholas, why so slow? We still need to undergo a series of checks before the meeting starts to ensure you can operate at the tower top.”
“I got held up at the club for a bit.”
“Did Francis look for you?”
“No, it wasn’t that. It’s just that my few demon friends needed a little settling in. They shouldn’t be able to go to the upper district, right?”
“Certainly not… The control at the [Tower Top] is extremely strict.”
“Senior, how do we get up there? I heard there doesn’t seem to be any connecting pathway to the upper district.”
“That’s right, the design of the upper district is just like that.
To reach the upper district, you must find your way up there, no matter what method you use. As long as you can touch the [base] of the upper district, teleportation can be achieved.”
“Of course, as long as you can fly up there… Want to give it a try?”
“I better not waste time, I figure as soon as a certain height is reached, a [No-Fly] barrier will be activated… There may even be barriers that I have never seen before.
Senior, you must have a more stable way to the upper district, right?”
“Hmm, follow me then.”
Still traveling by boat to the interior of the [Other Shore Hotel], but this time not heading to the guest rooms, instead taking the elevator to the top floor.
A service staff, whose body equaled a ‘door’, stood at the end of the corridor.
When he saw Mr. M arriving, he promptly opened his suit, revealing an independent staircase leading to the hotel rooftop.
The height of the Other Shore Hotel ranks among the top ten in the middle district, offering a view of 90% of the landscape.
even when standing on the rooftop nearly a thousand meters high, looking up to the sky, the [top] of the middle district is still invisible.
At this moment, Mr. M secreted modeling liquid with his hands, constructing a white ladder… The ladder is only five meters tall, but it continues to build as the individual climbs, all the way to the top.
“A ladder climb?” Han Dong never expected such a primitive method.
“This is my most commonly used method. Since I got used to it from the beginning, I never changed… When I was chosen as the successor of M, there was no one to guide me.
I used the form of shaping stairs, failed hundreds of times before touching the [top].
There’s not much time left, let’s go! It might be challenging towards the end of the climbing, so watch out for your physical stamina.”
The ladder climb begins.
As time passes, Han Dong unconsciously climbs to a height of nearly ten thousand meters, and even when glancing downward, the middle district is barely visible.
Constant pressure keeps coming,
the closer to the tower top, the greater the pressure.
This feeling is somewhat similar to when Han Dong climbed the Moon God Mountain in the [Corpse Country].
Han Dong even suspected that Mr. M was inspired here, which is why he built Moon God Mountain to test future generations.
As a Faceless One, Han Dong’s adaptability is beyond imagination,
combined with the floating effect brought by the [Floating Corpse Internal Classic] and the staircase support created by Mr. M, he successfully approached the top at once.
When he could barely see the tower top, the height from the middle district reached hundreds of thousands of meters.
Blocks of black metal, crisscrossed with silver lines, floated and combined to form the [top], also serving as the foundation of the tower top region.
When Han Dong placed his palm on the metal surface.
The vision flipped immediately, and the next second he was already standing atop the tower.
Vast, silent, and open.
Unlike the middle district, the tower top has no building… the entire area is a flat circular plane.
Enclosed using a kind of holographic dome (with coverage and scaling functionality), it allows a clear view of formations in the universe, even enabling tens of thousands of times magnification to observe the surface state of a nearby planet.
However, this holographic dome capable of easily peeking into galaxies is nothing remarkable and doesn’t capture Han Dong’s attention at all.
When Han Dong arrived at the tower top, his gaze was already drawn to another scene.
“This is! The Black Tower World!”
Standing at the highest point in the center of the world, one can take in the entire view of the world.
The Black Tower is constructed on the surface of a gigantic, exceptionally large polyhedral planet that defies conventional physical laws, and standing here, one can get a good view of the overall appearance of the planet.
The biodiversity on this planet is probably thousands of times that of Earth.
Since it is a polyhedral geometric structure, each face contains a large civilization or an affiliated organization of the Black Tower… For example, the general hospital of the Combat Club is set up in the adjacent small plane area.
Since the hospital is fully enclosed, every time Han Dong went there it was only for inpatient care, and once discharged he was sent back, having never seen the true form of the Black Tower World.
Today is the first time seeing it.
Moreover, it is a direct glimpse of the overall true form of the world.
“So this is the Black Tower World? What a perfectly structured world system!”
Under the mask, Mr. M possessed a sense of pride, seemingly having some connection to the building of the planet, while also being proud to be one of the highest managers in such a world.
“The [Black Tower World], also called the Source World.
World Number [S-00], it is the central world first built based on the most stable framework.”
“S-00, Source World!? So that’s how it is!”
Many doubts accumulated in Han Dong’s heart were instantly resolved.
“Come with me, before joining the meeting, [E] will conduct a deep test on you. Just relax… I have already spoken to him and he won’t make it difficult for you.”
a middle-aged man with black hair styled in a square crew cut, wearing a white lab coat, had stood not far away.
Wearing a [×] insignia on the left chest,
a [√] insignia on the right chest,
the holder of the original letter E, Edgar Alblairda, symbolizing Examine (Examination).
