549: Chapter 549 Colors, Where is My Light?

No one could answer his question.

Everyone who came here had a story, and every story was much the same.

Life and death, success and failure, unable to attain immortality.

No one was interested in listening to a stranger's lamentations.

Lin Ziyao had already walked toward the other end of the first floor under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

A stone tablet stood there.

The Heaven-Man Tablet.

It was pitch black, about a zhang high, with a surface as smooth as a mirror, devoid of any markings.

It stood there all alone, like the most ordinary of boulders.

But every person who stepped into the Heavenly Tower would unconsciously hold their breath when their gaze fell upon it.

It only needed one punch, and it would shine.

"In my previous life... I threw one punch and obtained 1,500 Fate Value."

Lin Ziyao stood before the tablet, murmuring in a low voice, as if talking to herself, or perhaps speaking to this silent stone tablet.

"I wonder if there will be any changes in this life."

There was a hint of anticipation in her voice.

Reborn into this life, many things had changed, and she wanted to know if this tablet had changed as well.

Ye Hongfu stood behind her and sighed softly: "In my previous life, I only got one thousand. I was far behind you."

Jiang Chengqiu revealed a wry smile: "It's fine, at least I'm at the bottom."

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Qin Wushang patted their shoulders, his tone indifferent.

The women did not speak, but their gazes fell upon him, each harboring her own thoughts.

"None of you want to go first?"

Mu Bingyun took a step forward, her skirt fluttering lightly.

"Then I will go first."

She walked to the Heaven-Man Tablet, stood firm, raised her hand, and threw a punch.

There was no gathering of power, no fancy moves. It was just a simple, full-force punch that smashed into the surface of the tablet.

"Boom!"

The entire Heavenly Tower shook, and the Heaven-Man Tablet lit up.

Golden light soared into the sky, illuminating the entire Heavenly Tower as if a great sun were rising from within the tablet.

The golden light condensed without dispersing, slowly forming a number above the tablet's surface.

1500.

Immediately, a silver token flew out from the tablet and landed in Mu Bingyun's hand.

Voices erupted all around.

"Gold! It's a legendary gold!"

"1500! Another 1500! Who is this woman? How is she so impressive?"

"This girl doesn't look very old, yet her strength and talent are so terrifying?"

Mu Bingyun withdrew her fist and retreated to the side with a calm expression, as if she had done something insignificant.

This result was not unexpected!

1500!

In her ten-thousand-year memory, it was also this number!

"Let me go!"

Ye Hongfu said, stepping forward.

She took a deep breath and threw a punch.

"Hum!"

The light from her fist transformed into a sword, striking the Heaven-Man Tablet directly.

The tablet surface vibrated, and red light lit up, though the radiance was much weaker than Mu Bingyun's.

The red light condensed, and a number appeared.

1200!

A silver token landed in her hand.

Ye Hongfu looked down at it.

It was the same as before; there wasn't much change.

Jiang Chengqiu went up third.

She walked to the tablet, clenched her fist directly, glanced back at Qin Wushang, and then smashed her fist out.

Red light, 1200.

"It increased!"

"It actually increased by quite a bit compared to before!"

She exclaimed, very surprised.

The people around watched them, their expressions filled with astonishment.

Lin Ziyao went up last.

She stood before the tablet, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled.

Then she opened her eyes and threw a punch.

"Boom!"

The tablet surface vibrated violently, and golden light surged, even more dazzling than Mu Bingyun's instance.

Within the golden light, a number slowly emerged!

1800.

"Gold! Damn! Gold again! Where did these Prodigies come from?"

"She's with that Qin Wushang, they must also be from those Five Domains and Two Heavens!"

"Absurd! Could these Five Domains and Two Heavens be fragments of the Immortal Realm? How can they be so Heaven-Defying!"

The crowd was shocked.

Gold, this was too Heaven-Defying!

An initial Fate Value of 1800 was already a level that many beings could not even touch.

"It's your turn."

Lin Ziyao retreated to the side and said to Qin Wushang.

Everyone's gaze followed her and fell upon that figure in white.

Qin Wushang did not speak, walked to the Heaven-Man Tablet, raised his hand, and threw a punch.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the Heaven-Man Tablet vibrated violently, and the entire Heavenly Tower shook intensely, far more terrifying than the disturbance caused by Lin Ziyao.

Then, the light appeared.

Not blue, not red, not gold.

It was a colorful radiance!

Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and violet—seven colors intertwined, gushing out from the tablet's surface, dyeing the entire Heavenly Tower in color.

The entire Sky City could see this colorful radiance.

That number also slowly emerged.

10000.

Not 1500, not 2000, it was 10000.

There was a deathly silence inside the Heavenly Tower.

Then it exploded.

"10000????"

"What kind of monster is this???"

"Gold was only 1500, he got 10000 directly? Is the Heaven-Man Tablet broken?"

"Broken my ass! That's colorful! Have you ever seen colorful? I've never even seen it!"

"Didn't they say it was blue, red, then gold? Why is there a hidden version?"

"One punch for 10000 Fate Value... and this is just the initial Fate Value! It's absurd!"

"Who said it was just good Luck earlier? Is this something you can just punch out? This is 10000! Not 100!"

Xiao Zhanqiu leaned against the wall, his mouth open wide enough to fit his door-sized greatsword, unable to close it for a long time.

He looked down at his own hands, then at the Heaven-Man Tablet.

"Is this... even human?"

"The Human Race's number one Physique, is it really this Heaven-Defying?"

Qin Wushang withdrew his fist, his expression still calm.

"If I hadn't helped the Immortal Lord, would this number be even higher?"

He murmured softly.

After all, helping the Immortal Lord refine those things required using Dao Luck!

And this thing called Fate Value was also influenced by Dao Luck.

But to still have 10000 was a bit surprising; he had thought he had used up almost all of it.

"Do I need to do it too?"

At this moment, Yao Shinian, who was holding the pig-slaughtering knife, asked.

"Yes!"

"You do, go ahead!"

Qin Wushang nodded.

This was the first step of the Emperors Path; to obtain more Heaven-Defying items, one had to obtain the token to continue forward.

"Alright!"

"It doesn't look that hard... I wish I could get colorful too."

Yao Shinian nodded and stepped forward.

She mimicked Qin Wushang and threw a punch directly.

"Bang!"

The Heaven-Man Tablet shook violently, and the Heavenly Tower shook along with it. Everyone who sensed this disturbance was greatly surprised.

It was actually the same disturbance as Qin Wushang's!

Wouldn't that mean another colorful one?

"Huh?"

However, after waiting for a good while, the Heaven-Man Tablet had absolutely no reaction.

The Heavenly Tower also stopped shaking!

"It's not?"

"Where is my light?"
