Age of Calamity in Swallowed Star

Chapter 22: Blood-Colored Giant Tower!

Within his consciousness, an anomaly arose.

The blood-colored streams descending from the sky seemed to be summoned, surging forth.

"!?"

Lin Ye's brow furrowed slightly, and his consciousness followed the aura, quickly focusing on the core of the continent.

As the blood-colored light flickered, the blood-colored streams continuously gathered and coalesced there… gradually forming the shape of a giant tower.

Under the perception of his consciousness, a blood-colored tower shadow slowly rose from the ground, situated at the very center of the land.

On the ancient gray continent, a blood-colored giant tower suddenly appeared, yet it felt perfectly natural, as if it had always been there.

Lin Ye had a feeling that this blood-colored giant tower was the core of this continent, reigning supreme like an emperor, commanding his territory.

Lin Ye's consciousness observed with curiosity, discovering that this blood-colored giant tower had twelve levels.

However, apart from the first level showing faint signs of solidification, the remaining eleven levels felt like they existed in a state of illusion.

At the same time, the blood-colored streams continued to flow into it, with most of them gathering in the first level of the giant tower, constantly solidifying and reinforcing it.

The remaining small portion flowed into the gray land, continuously expanding its territory.

"I didn't expect my consciousness to be so miraculous!"

Lin Ye mused inwardly, his consciousness involuntarily reaching out to touch the blood-colored giant tower.

In an instant, Lin Ye's consciousness was drawn into the first level of the blood-colored giant tower.

"So comfortable!"

Without the slightest discomfort or suffering, Lin Ye instead felt a sense of ease and comfort originating from his consciousness.

As his consciousness entered the first level of this blood-colored tower to observe, an anomaly occurred.

Boom!

A terrifying wave of mental energy suddenly erupted from the small tower, sweeping towards all directions of the continent with immense power.

At the same moment, a blood-colored light, imperceptible to ordinary people, suddenly shone on Lin Ye.

Above his crown, with the flickering of blood color, a blood-red tower shadow slowly emerged, turning gently.

A faint blood shadow slowly descended with the rotation of the small tower, gradually enveloping Lin Ye's entire body.

The surrounding cosmic energy, as if drawn by a thread, continuously gathered towards Lin Ye…

[Absorbing cosmic energy, Attribute Points +2]

…

[Absorbing cosmic energy, Attribute Points +2]

…

[Absorbing cosmic energy, Attribute Points +2]

…

Every so often, an electronic notification sounded in Lin Ye's ears.

However, at this moment, Lin Ye was immersed in his consciousness, his mind deeply captivated by the blood-colored giant tower, and he did not notice the other changes.

After entering the first level, the ubiquitous blood-colored mist swirled around him, causing his heart to beat faster.

"So the mental power of this first level of the blood-colored tower is so powerful. If I were to use it on external objects for combat, how powerful would that be…"

Lin Ye slowly opened his eyes, his heart already filled with shock.

The moment his consciousness entered the blood-colored tower, Lin Ye had completely grasped control of this blood-colored tower born within his consciousness.

As long as he willed it, he could fully mobilize the vast mental power of the first level of this blood-colored tower.

Similarly, Lin Ye also discovered that this gray continent and the blood-colored tower were essentially one, and both could absorb external cosmic energy and convert it into mental power.

It's just that the speed of absorbing external energy compared to the conversion of attribute points was still somewhat different.

Lin Ye did not ponder why this was so, but he accepted the result.

He had activated his mental power, and from then on, he had a powerful trump card.

As for the mental power of the upper levels of the blood-colored tower… Lin Ye would not consider it for the time being.

Having figured this out, Lin Ye's consciousness focused on [Mental Power].

Sensing it slightly, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "If I want to activate the later stages, I'll need a lot of attribute points. It seems I'll have to enter the wilderness to hunt more…"

Lin Ye thought to himself, his heart filled with anticipation for the performance of his mental power.

As described in the forum videos, with powerful mental power, it also meant being able to control more weapons to kill monsters.

Now that he had successfully activated and possessed such mysterious and terrifying mental power, it was already a huge gain for Lin Ye.

What he needed to do now was to familiarize himself with and control this vast mental power, making it his trump card…

Unknowingly.

A hint of dawn appeared on the horizon.

Inside the small house, Lin Ye was still immersed in the joy of activating his mental power.

Especially the blood-colored tower in his consciousness, which he regarded as his trump card.

Before learning how to use mental power, Lin Ye decided to first check his information.

He felt that after activating his mental power, his physical fitness had quietly changed.

The next moment, he directly called up his information interface.

[Name: Lin Ye (Intermediate Warlord)]

[Attribute Points: 97]

[Footwork: Microscopic Level (Proficiency 95/100)]

[Strength: 19200 → 21300kg]

[Speed: 14s]

[Spirit: Mental Power (Elementary War God)]

[Domain: Not Activated (Gray)]

[Clone: Not Activated (Gray)]

[...]

"As expected!"

A look of realization appeared on Lin Ye's face.

While activating his mental power, he also brought about a double improvement in strength and speed.

Even the attribute points had increased.

At this point, Lin Ye did not miss the lost three hundred attribute points, but was instead extremely happy.

To activate such a mysterious and terrifying power with three hundred attribute points was simply a steal!

Lin Ye faintly had a hunch.

The mental power activated this time would bring him immense benefits in the future…

Unknowingly, Lin Ye felt a warmth on his face.

He opened his eyes.

A golden ray of sunlight shone through the window, illuminating him, filling him with an unspeakable feeling of well-being.

Watching a ray of sunshine burst forth from the end of the night, Lin Ye's heart was filled with joy and anticipation.

"Sleeping in a three-story building, having enough food and enjoyment… In this era of disaster, this kind of leisurely life is simply priceless."

Thinking of the many displaced people in the shelter who relied on government relief, Lin Ye couldn't help but sigh.

He had the will, but he was powerless.

Even if Lin Ye could help one person, ten people, or a hundred people, could he help thousands upon thousands of people?

The answer was no!

His abilities were limited now, unable to "build a mansion of ten thousand rooms to shelter all the poor in the world."

In that case, Lin Ye could only choose to protect himself and his closest loved ones.

Suddenly, his stomach rumbled.

It turned out that after cultivating all night, he had long become hungry.

With that, Lin Ye walked to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and prepared to eat a simple breakfast.

As soon as the refrigerator door was opened, a dazzling array of food appeared before Lin Ye's eyes—

Roast duck, pig trotters, pizza, cake, all kinds of meat, fruits, and vegetables… everything was available.

The five-hundred-liter refrigerator was completely filled with all kinds of delicious food.

There were dedicated service personnel to clean their houses and provide food.

They could even provide personal services to the warriors.

All of these were the privileges of warriors.

Otherwise, why would they say that they would risk their lives in the front lines of the fight against monsters?

After eating his fill, Lin Ye sat back on the sofa.

Picking up his phone, he prepared to learn how to manipulate objects with mental power to attack.

The demonstration of mental power by the thin man in the previous video really made his heart itch.

Now that he had activated his mental power, he could also try to use it, instead of just relying on his two hands to kill monsters.

With fervent anticipation, Lin Ye once again opened the Warrior Forum and searched…
