Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 894 - 421: Star Tower Summit, The Ancestor of Star Spirits

[With a high-pitched scream, "Peggy" collapses under you.]

[She leans against you, weak and dazed. Seizing the moment before the afterglow fades, you speak up, expressing an interest in "Sage Osborne’s" personal collection and your desire to visit it. Unfortunately, your tutor requires you to achieve an A+ on the next test before allowing you into the storage room...]

[You ask "Peggy" if there’s any way around this?]

[Lazy and reluctant to move, she gives you an indifferent glance and without a second thought says, why not just study hard and aim for an A+ next time?]

[You immediately slap her, ignoring her yelp, saying that if you could get an A+ on the test, you wouldn’t need to ask her at all. You know her father is influential; can’t she think of something?]

["Peggy" ponders for a moment and says that although her father is the Finance Minister, his own academic and power standing is still far from that of a "Sage", and thus not very influential in the face of the powerful "Sage Osborne"...]

[Your heart sinks upon hearing this, but then you see "Peggy" suddenly look at you earnestly and ask if you truly wish to visit "Sage Osborne’s" storeroom?]

[You nod and assert "Of course"!]

[Without a word, "Peggy" gets up, dresses, and tells you to "wait for news by the afternoon at the latest" before leaving the dormitory room...]

As a direct affiliate of the Direct View School’s Branch Association, Leon Academy provides excellent accommodation conditions, where noble students all reside in luxurious single rooms.

Lin Xun doesn’t know what method this story character will use to help him achieve his goal, but seeing Peggy’s confidence, she likely has a good chance of success.

There’s still some time before the afternoon courses at the academy, and he considers it necessary to first increase his Knowledge limit, or else confronting even slightly stronger monsters might lead to a disastrous death.

Lin Xun opens his inventory and quickly finds the item—"Book of Illusion Record—Star Dome Tower’s Climbing Journey."]

This book of illusion allows for the increase of Knowledge limit through entering a Knowledge Illusion and climbing the tower to battle monsters.

Before leaving the Omniscient World’s fourth Chapter, he had climbed to the 75th floor, which significantly expanded his Knowledge limit. However, after leaving the Chapter, he could no longer enter the illusion replica, so his current progress remains at the 75th floor.

Since the Knowledge limit is somewhat restrictive right now, this item will come in handy.

[You have used the "Book of Illusion Record—Star Dome Tower’s Climbing Journey"!]

[You flip through the book, engrossed in its content. Suddenly, you sense the surroundings change...]

[You have entered a "Remnant of the Knowledge Illusion"...]

[Opening your eyes, you see a towering high tower standing not far ahead, its spire piercing into the fog, making it impossible to discern its true height.]

[The starlight from the night sky seems to be drawn to this celestial tower, whose body shines brightly as if adorned with countless stars.]

[Looking around, the luxurious single room has disappeared, and everything nearby carries illusory after-images, like fragmented memories fading with age.]

[...]

[You push open the great door and step inside the tower.]

[You feel a flash before your eyes, and your vision is filled with an endless void, not a deep darkness but a river of stars made from countless dazzling stars overhead.]

[Gazing up at the neon-like variety of stars, you are deeply captivated by the sight...]

[A layer of soft green starlight separates you from the void under your feet, where you stand on a starlight array; not just you, but another silent scholar, his face obscured by a wide brimmed hat, stands ahead.]

[Only by continually defeating guardian scholars can you ascend to the pinnacle of the Star Tower.]

[Do you want to challenge the "First Floor Guardian of the Star Tower"?]

Lin Xun smiles faintly and decisively clicks ’Yes’.]

[With a sudden step forward, your sword bursts forth with surging blood-light. The guardian is cleaved in two before he can react!]

[You have defeated the "First Floor Guardian" of the Star Tower, and you didn’t gain any experience points.]

[The starlight array beneath your feet slowly ascends, taking you higher, bringing the glistening river of stars above even closer.]

[Looking ahead, another silent scholar has now appeared...]

[Do you want to challenge the "Second Floor Guardian of the Star Tower"?]

Re-entering the Knowledge Illusion to sweep the tower presents virtually no difficulty for him at the moment.

In the past, the primary limitation was due to Shell’s physical endurance and mana, leading to suboptimal condition in the latter parts of the climb, forcing retreats when facing powerful bosses.

Now, the "Son of Evil" possesses endless stamina; he could go from the first to the 75th floor without even breaking a sweat.

Not only does the Son of Evil have limitless stamina, but he also possesses immense demigod-level power, leaving none of the "Star Tower Guardians" able to withstand a single strike from him.

Every ten levels of guardians defeated would drop an item to increase the Knowledge limit, the "Memory of Starry Sky", though rewards previously obtained cannot be claimed again.

Lin Xun smoothly obtains the "Memory of Starry Sky" from the 80th and 90th levels.

["Memory of Starry Sky" (Item): A hazy and ethereal glow, within which fleeting fragments of memories occasionally sparkle, showcasing scenes of countless stars from distant galaxies.]

[Using this item will increase your Knowledge limit by 8000 points.]

["Memory of Starry Sky" (Item):... Using this item will increase your Knowledge limit by 9000 points.]
