The Tower of Eternity

## What is the Tower

“It’s something that has just been there since the beginning of time it seems like. Some believe that it houses the Brain of the Ruthless Heavens. However, you can only get to the tower with the help of a token as it is impossible to find without them. Many extreme hegemons have scoured the multi-verse for the tower intending to make it their treasure, but it’s always eluded them.” **Book 2, Chapter 77**

“The tower itself only takes one day at the most. But you are not transported directly to the Tower. You get teleported to the Base Town. Or at least the Base Town of your sector. It is a huge town that extends around the tower itself. After using the token you will be able to stay a year at the longest, though you can leave early. The tower itself takes up to 99 days, but it is in a special space, so only one day will pass in real time.” **Book 4, Chapter 42**

[Base Town is cone-shaped] - The Naspheyi Auction House was a grand structure three-quarters in from the edge of the plateau, placing itself somewhere between the middle and the *inner cone*. **Book 4, Chapter 69**

You shouldn’t see this place simply as a trial to get a good title, but as a training ground to hone your skills,” Galau explained. but as a training ground to hone your skills,” Galau explained. “Everyone who comes to the tower is an elite the System has deemed worth nurturing, and this whole place is a massive incubator.” “And I am not talking about your skills or your Dao. This place teaches you to think,” the youth added. **Book 4, Chapter 82**

“I met someone interesting inside the Tower though! But I need your help, grandpa.” “Hm? Met someone? A boy?” the old man said, a frown quickly appearing on his face. “Yes, but I just found him interesting," Iz hurriedly explained. “Bringing someone out from that spatial fold is quite troublesome,” the man muttered. “Your uncle can’t do it without getting hurt, and I can’t leave this place for the next few centuries.” **Book 5, Chapter 85**

## Real or Not

“I can’t believe the System creates whole illusory worlds like this for all the trial takers coming to the tower.

“Well, that’s actually a subject of some debate,” Galau said, finally getting into the spirit of adventure. “Some rather believe these people are all real, while others say the worlds are real but the people are illusions or lifelike puppets created by the System. They do all give Cosmic Energy when killed, though, which gives more credence to the first theory.”

“And no one has ever encountered a trial taker outside the Tower of Eternity. It is not just sending us to random worlds.”

Zac. “The reason that some believe these are just puppets is that they simply ignore all comments about the tower or the world outside.”

“The people are also never surprised to see and are seldom hostile against other races, like they don’t even know that a huge golem or a humanoid fish is standing in front of them."

... for revenge and such an individual wasn’t necessarily within the expected strength of the floor they were on. Many climbs had ended early due to cultivators taking too large liberties while inside, where they took the opportunity to act despicable while out of prying eyes.

**Book 4, Chapter 82**

## Challenges

* "The Tower contains various challenges and which challenge you encounter at a specific floor varies." **Book 4, Chapter 82**
* "It can be anything. It can be passing an array...finding a treasure, identifying the source of some curse, saving someone." **Book 4, Chapter 82**
* ~~"There is always the option to just kill something instead of completing the quest. It might be unclear just what needs to be killed though." -**Chapter 400**~~ Looks like this language was cut when the book was published**.**
* “The final level of a floor almost always requires a proof of strength to conquer. You can’t just luck into a quest that suits your skill set. Strength is ultimately the true language of the Multiverse.” **Book 4, Chapter 88**
* “The 9th level of a floor requires you to defeat a floor guardian 95% of the time, with the final 5% requiring proof of Strength in other ways.” Galau nodded in agreement. “And be careful, the strength will sharply rise compared to the things you’ve fought so far.” **Book 4, Chapter 88**

## Entry requirements

* F-Grade
* Earn a [Tower of Eternity] token. **Book 2, Chapter 90**
	+ He could use the token at any moment after reaching level 50.
	+ The token was personal and could not be sold or traded.
	+ Finally, anyone had two shots at the tower, after which they would be eternally locked out of it. However, to take the trial the second time, another token had to be earned somehow.
* Likewise, those types of classes are generally considered noncombat, which precludes entry to the Tower of Eternity. **Book 4, Chapter 70**

## Restrictions

* The Ruthless Heavens restricts what treasures you can bring to the Tower of Eternity. **Book 4, Chapter 43**
	+ You can bring as many items as you want.
	+ Defensive and offensive tools and talismans are limited to Middle E-grade.
	+ Raw materials and other types of treasures can be Peak E-grade
* The Ruthless Heavens will restrict you if you attack someone, [In base town]” Ogras said with a shake of his head. **Book 4, Chapter 43**
* But the tower tests potential in the end, and external strength gets more and more restricted the further up the tower you progress.” **Book 4, Chapter 43**
* “That’s true, but the attributes of the beasts are around 40% higher because there’s three of us,” Galau said. ... “Nine is the limit, and the floors would be almost three times as hard,” Galau said. **Book 4, Chapter 83**
* They would have to physically touch every time they stepped into a portal, or otherwise, their cooperation would end. **Book 4, Chapter 84**

## Contents

“The tower consists of nine floors, and each floor is further split into nine worlds. The further you manage to travel up the tower, the greater the **rewards**. In theory, the highest possible grade is 81, nine by nine. However, I’ve never heard of anyone getting that far,” Ogras continued. **Book 2, Chapter 77**

“The tower contains all manner of treasures, and it also provides a **Title** that gives stats depending on how far you reached.” **Book 2, Chapter 77**

## Benefits of Visiting and Climbing

#### Base Town

* Origin Dao - The Cosmic Energy was denser closer to the tower, and Galau said there was even some Origin Dao in the core sector. **Book 4, Chapter 68**
* Auctions
	+ Naspheyi Clan - Regular weekly auctions with major ones a few times a year. **Book 4, Chapter 69**
* Gatherings and Meetings
	+ The Tower of Eternity is the gathering place of young elites and a way for forces who would never be able to contact each other to interact. It’s a great opportunity for trading or making connections. **Book 4, Chapter 43**
	+ Zac interrogated Galau for as much information as they could before they split up for the day. **Book 4, Chapter 68**
	+ Leyara was so bored after all these gatherings and auctions. **Book 4, Chapter 79**
	+ “Do you have any solution? ... ”And I do have something for that, actually,” Catheya slowly said as she turned to the Revenant behind her. “Go fetch the eighth and twenty-third treasures.” **Book 5, Chapter 56**
* Information Houses
	+ A short introduction of Arcane classes only cost 10 million. **Book 4, Chapter 69**
	+ He had bought a bunch of general information crystals that contained all sorts of things that were good to know. Most of it was things that any teenager belonging to a cultivation force would know, which was why they cost almost nothing. **Book 5, Page 483**
* Stores
	+ Talovor Trappings - Mainly wearable treasures. **Book 4, Chapter 68**
		- An inferred major benefit is avoiding sales taxes and System-enforced import tariffs. **Chapter 960**

#### Tower

* Found Treasures
	+ It’s a small chance anything you find is real. **Book 4, Chapter 84**
	+ If you find something useful, it’s best to use it immediately if you can. Everything is real while you’re still inside the tower. **Book 4, Chapter 85**
	+ Each pearl is worth millions on the outside. Tens of millions if their quality is good enough. **Book 4, Chapter 85**
	+ “Refined items have a higher chance of staying in your Cosmos Sack when leaving this place. **Book 4, Chapter 91**
* Nexus Coins
	+ His Nexus Coins had increased by a couple of million since he’d entered the tower [Completion of 3rd floor]. **Book 4, Chapter 93**
	+ Zac gained 864,431,669 Nexus Coins over Floors Four through Seven.
		- Book 4, Chapter 93 Stat Screen Nexus Coins 2,966,111,618 - Completion of Third Floor
		- Book 5, Chapter 29 Stat Screen Nexus Coins 6,830,543,287 - Completion of Seventh Floor
		- Three billion transferred from Galau at end of 31st level.
* Quest Rewards
	+ Following the quest almost always taught a valuable lesson or led to some sort of treasure, whereas killing the guardian would make you miss that opportunity. **Book 4, Chapter 86**
	+ You wouldn’t always find treasure even when completing the quest; you just improved your odds of finding something of value. **Book 5, Chapter 2**
	+ Completing the quest generally resulted in more ample rewards. **Book 4, Chapter 97**
	+ Zac gained the skill True Strike from the quest for final trial of the Fourth Floor. **Book 5, Chapter 6**
	+ Inside was a blue rose seemingly made from ice, a piece of unblemished beauty. Zac didn’t care about that, though, as he crammed the flower into his mouth and swallowed, allowing a cool sensation to spread down his throat and then throughout his mind. It was the reward he had gotten from the Ice Troll back on the first level of the sixth floor. **Book 5, Chapter 11**
* Floor Rewards
	+ First Floor through Fourth Floor rewards range from minor value, helpful to the climb, or useful after evolving to E-Grade.
	+ At Fifth Floor, rewards start to become compatible, e.g., with cultivation or pathways.
	+ At Seventh Floor rewards start to be personalized.

* Inheritances
	+ “There have been some reports of such things turning out to be true, but the odds are extremely low, even worse than with treasures. **Book 4, Chapter 87**
	+ “That’s one of the reasons why people keep pushing themselves to climb even if they know they won’t beat the floor guardian they’re at. ..., but they might find an opportunity like this,” **Book 4, Chapter 87**
* Title
	+ First Floor: +5 to the three attributes you focus the most on. **Book 4, Chapter 87**
	+ Second Floor: All stats +5. **Book 4, Chapter 93**
	+ Third Floor: All stats +10. **Book 4, Chapter 93**
	+ Fourth Floor: All stats +10, +5% Increase to the three attributes you focus the most on. **Book 5, Chapter 6**
	+ Fifth Floor: All stats +10, All stats +5%, +5% Increase to the three attributes you focus the most on. **Book 5, Chapter 7**
	+ Sixth Floor: All stats +10, All stats +10%. **Book 5, Chapter 14**
	+ Seventh Floor: All stats +10, All stats +10%, Effect of Attributes +5%. **Book 5, Chapter 29**
	+ Eighth Floor: All stats +10, All stats +10%, Effect of Attributes +10%. **Book 5, Chapter 48**
	+ Ninth Floor: Unknown

## Apparitions

“Apparitions appear when people pass specific floors, and there are a few rules to it,” the demon added. “It essentially showcases that a powerhouse just completed his climb in the tower.” - **Book 4, Chapter 66**

### Known Apparitions

* 38th level (Fourth Floor) - Flood Dragon **- Book 4, Chapter 66**
* 48th level (Fifth Floor) - Perception of Reality **- Book 5, Chapter 43**
* 62nd level (Sixth Floor) - Eight Calamities **- Book 4, Chapter 66**
* 72nd level (Eighth Floor) - Stele of Conflict **- Book 5, Chapter 49**

## Success rates for Zecia Sector

* 4th floor - a few times a week
* 5th floor - a few times a year: Ogras Azh'Rodum, Thea Marshall, Emily Larkin
	+ Last time, I saw the apparitions for the 45th level ten times during the year I stayed here, **Book 4, Chapter 66**
* 6th floor - once every decade or two
* 7th floor - once every couple millennia: Reoluv Dravorak, Pretty Peak, Leyara Lioress, Catheya Sharva'Zi, Lord Beradan
* 8th floor - Eveningtide Asura, Zac Piker.
	+ Zac holds the title for 14th best in the Zecia sector, so there have been others. According to Io 11 of them have been unattached (**Chapter 472**). It has been over a million years since someone breached the 8th floor in Zecia. **Book 5, Chapter 54**
* 9th floor - unknown

People who clear every floor in the Tower of Eternity are known in other Sectors as "Tower Breakers". An example is Iz Tayn, who Zac met during the Battle of Fates.

## Star Performance

Not many people in their remote corner of the Multiverse were aware, but passing the seventh floor essentially gave them a direct shot at entering massive factions that towered far beyond anything else in the sector. The whole sector was just a small corner of their domains, breeding grounds that occasionally fostered promising seedlings (**Book 5, Chapter 20**). Though as in Zac's case you can stand out too much (**Book 5, Chapter 68**).
