Cursed Immortality

Chapter 780  Demigods and Gods!

Jacob slowly approached the gigantic gate of the monolithic tower. He felt an arcane aura emitting from it, and the legendary key in his hand glowed brighter. Although he didnʼt know if this was dangerous, he didnʼt get any such feeling from this tower except for the powerful gravitational force, which seemed 500 times stronger than what he had experienced in the forest. But it was still not enough to cause trouble for Jacob.

Suddenly, just when he was ten meters away from the door, an ethereal voice suddenly rang, ”The Tower of Taurus welcomes you, trialist!”

Jacob was startled when he heard this ethereal voice which seemed to be coming from the Taurus symbol above the door.

At this moment, the compass, like a legendary key, suddenly hummed and released a powerful emerald light before Jacob could react.

It suddenly seemed to resonate with the Taurus symbol on the door, as the symbol started to revolve, and that voice suddenly sounded again. ”The Tower detects the Legendary Key of Taurus!

”You are given three one-time options!

”First, you can use the Legendary Key of Taurus and directly pass the first four trials of the Tower of Taurus and take the remaining three trials at ʼStar Warriorʼ difficulty. Failure penalty is loss of Legendary Key, and you will only have three more chances to enter the Tower again and take the unprivileged trials. The reward will be the Legendary Vestige of Taurus! ”Second, you can use the Legendary Key of Taurus to exchange for three lifelines, which means even if you die within the tower, youʼll revive at the same point until your lifelines run out. You will also have the privilege to pass the first two trials of the Tower of Taurus. But you must pass the remaining five trials at ʼStar Masterʼ difficulty. Failure penalty is loss of Legendary Key, and you will only have two more chances to enter the Tower again and take the unprivileged trials. The rewards will be the Legendary Vestige of Taurus and a Legendary Lord State Domain Spell suitable for you!

”Third, you can use the Legendary Key to instigate the ʼStar Kingʼ difficulty level tower trial. But be warned, you have to clear all the trials without any lifelines, and the failure penalty is a certain death! The rewards will be the Legendary Vestige of Taurus, a Legendary King State Legacy or treasure of your choice, and an Ascension Permit!

”You may choose now!”

Jacob was shocked when he heard those three choices. He didnʼt expect the legendary key to have this kind of function. He always wondered what kind of advantage the legendary key had over those with only medallions. Now he knew why those arrogant guys from the middle galaxies were searching for legendary keys like bloody hounds, and even the legendary kings were willing to pay some unknown price to send their descendants here.

If those people really knew about the presence of the third option, then it all made sense to Jacob. However, he was still confused about what this Ascension Permit was. Since it was the reward for passing the most difficult trial with a Legendary King rank legacy or treasure, he knew it must be unimaginably extraordinary. But just the allure of a Legendary King rank legacy or treasure was enough to tempt even Jacob. After all, he had seen what the broken legendary treasure Yin Sky Island could do, so what would a complete treasure be capable of?

Furthermore, it would also become his most powerful trump card once he entered the middle galaxies.

But Jacob didnʼt let greed cloud his judgment. Instead, he asked Immortika, ”What do you think? Do you know what this Ascension Permit is?” ”Hehehehe, well, itʼs not a big deal to reveal it to you know. You see, the Legendary Plains or Middle Galaxies is known as another name among the people, the Demigod Realm. You should know what this implies, the Legendary Rank in a sense and certainly the Rank of a Demigod! So, what came after the Demigod?” Jacobʼs expression changed as his mind reeled when he heard this unknown yet startling fact, and he instantly made a terrifying assumption.

He quickly replied, ”If Legendary Rank is the rank of Demigod, then the next rank should be God! Could it be that this Ascension Permit is related to Godhood?”

”Hahahaha… the next rank after Legendary Rank is the Mythical Rank, also the rank of Gods, and since the middle galaxies are the realm of Demigods, the Upper Galaxies are the Realm of Gods. But itʼs still quite far away from you, so Iʼll leave the details of Mythical Rank once you reach it or come closer to it.

”All you need to know is that just like you need the Path of Legend to enter the middle galaxies, to enter the Upper Galaxies, you also need to either cross the Universal Void, the space between the lesser galaxies known as the Star Ocean Boundary or seek out the Mythical Ascension Bridge.

”And just like the Path of Legend, the Mythical Ascension Bridge also required a particular pass like the legendary keys or star ocean medallion to enter, and that pass is the Ascensions Permit, and they are the only way to enter the Mythical Ascension Bridge.

”Furthermore, these Ascension Permits only exist in the Path of Legendʼs cosmic vestige trials. Acquiring them is even more difficult, and the participants have only a single chance. If they fail, they will lose not only their lives but also the legendary keys and the chance to open the trial for the Ascension Permits. ”So, now you can imagine how desperate those Legendary Kings have to be; they neutered their own descents with everything they had just so they could acquire this permit and ascend to Godhood, and let me tell you, they would never give up, and do this process again and again until they acquired it even if its means to sacrifice their entire bloodline. Isnʼt it ironic yet amusing at the same time, hahahahaha!”

Under Immortikaʼs maniacal laughter, Jacobʼs eyes burned with intense heat. He felt his blood bolding as he looked towards the Tower of Taurus.

At this moment, Jacob had already made his decision!
