Anastasia saluted Lind and said, “Anastasia Romanova sends her regards to you.”
Lind merely nodded silently. Since both sides already knew each other’s identities, Lind had no intention of beating around the bush and directly said, “I want to go up there.”
In this Sea of Consciousness deep in a sky that does not truly exist, Lind pointed upwards with his finger and said, “Using the Tower.”
Hearing this, the weariness on Anastasia’s face instantly vanished, and she solemnly asked, “Are you serious?”
“That’s right.”
This “up there” certainly did not refer to the literal sky, but rather to “stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun.”
Lind glanced at the soldiers fighting amidst the waves and said, “The situation outside is far more severe than you imagine. I must find a way to resolve all the problems in one go.”
“And to be honest, regarding the materials to repair the Tower of Babel, I am already preparing them. According to the Goddess, although these materials are not sufficient to restore the Tower to its original form, it is not a problem to use them as a one-time supply to send people up.”
Even though Anastasia had some understanding of the Cape Northern Border, she could not help but be somewhat shocked upon hearing this: “Are you saying that you can already produce the materials to restore the Tower of Babel?”
“It can only be used as a one-time thing.”
Anastasia wanted to ask something else, but seeing the look in Lind’s eyes, she nodded and said, “I understand. Is there anything we can assist with?”
“To be honest, I don’t really understand the Tower.”
Anastasia was not surprised by Lind’s statement, as according to the records left in the Tower, even during the Golden Age, the Tower of Babel was an outstanding masterpiece that embodied the best of humanity’s efforts. Even the most brilliant of the Golden Age might not dare to claim they understood the Tower.
“It doesn’t matter, at least you are the one among us who understands the Tower the most, so I need your help.”
At this moment, the two of them intuitively looked towards the gradually retreating waves. Humanity’s courage ultimately triumphed over human fear, but the pollution in the depths of the Sea of Consciousness had not yet ended.
Lind was the anchor point for these soldiers; before resolving the problems, he needed to stay here.
“I understand what you want me to do, but as you can see, we are already deep in the Sea of Consciousness. It is impossible to return as long as we establish a connection with the depths of the Sea of Consciousness.”
Anastasia sighed, roughly understanding what Lind intended to do, and said, “If you have a way to return to the real world, I can tell you everything I know about the Tower.”
“No, that would be too slow. We don’t have time.”
“And I asked the Goddess, she told me that the pod you use can return a person’s consciousness from the depths of the Sea of Consciousness back to the body, but unfortunately, you do not have sufficient permission to activate this function.”
Upon hearing this news, Anastasia paused, somewhat in disbelief, and asked, “Really?”
This elven girl, who always wore a weary expression, unusually displayed a different emotion.
“Otherwise, what do you think is the point of the pod maintaining your physical health?”
Lind responded, “You can just use the same technology as An Zhu and those people.”
Anastasia never considered that she and the people in the Tower still had hope of returning to the real world. However, after her immense joy, she calmed down: “But you are currently deep in the Sea of Consciousness, right? It’s difficult for you to say you can use the permissions to operate in the depths of the Sea of Consciousness, isn’t it?”
“No, I cannot connect to your biological pod, nor can I directly control the Tower from this place.”
“But it doesn’t matter, my younger sister also has permission.”
…..
Sometimes, Lilith felt that her brother was simply too responsible. Ever since that War God projection triggered a tremendous anomaly, the entire continent had descended into chaos. According to the ideas presented by the Dragon and Demon Clan, if everyone shared the pie collaboratively, it would be entirely sufficient for Cape to become the largest human nation on the continent. Lilith believed that as long as they gradually advanced in technology and dealt with mental pollution step by step, they would eventually be able to push back.
But her brother insisted that if they accepted this scheme now, he feared he would lose his ambition and forget his initial ideals. Compromise often marks the beginning of decline.
Moreover, technology could not remain confidential indefinitely. If they did not take advantage of their initial lead and sweep away the enemies, Lind believed that the situation would become extremely dangerous, which is why he aggressively promoted this plan.
Currently, within the Governor’s mansion in Cape, Lena was holding down the fort.
Lilith had initially worried about whether her sister-in-law could manage this position, but it seemed that her brother had already arranged everything, and her sister-in-law was under little pressure. Not to mention, with her sister-in-law’s prestige, the people below dared not act out of line.
Even if the sky were to fall, there would be tall people to support it. Lilith only hoped that in this life, she would not have to face tall responsibilities again like she did in Cape.
At this moment, Lilith saw that Lind’s signal had already been transmitted from the Sea of Consciousness, and the veteran soldiers arriving from various places were also entering the Sea of Consciousness one by one. Then, Lilith needed to head to the Tower to “wake up” those from the Tower.
Lilith silently prayed for her brother once more and then set out with the Northern Border engineering corps.
The black rain curtain surrounding the Tower had long since turned into black fog, which posed considerable trouble for the Northern Border engineering corps. Therefore, this time, the corps headed for the Tower not only brought materials to repair the Tower of Babel but also included the Lantern Dream practitioners responsible for maintaining the public dream.
Thanks to the Iron Ring project, the Lars Knights, who had fought wildly in the black fog, provided valuable information to the Northern Border scholars studying the public dream. They quickly developed the first generation of helmets to connect to the public dream. Because these helmets were not designed for direct combat, they lacked strength, and their main function was just to shield against the effects of the black fog.
But for the engineering corps, that was already enough.
Just as Deborah, who was leading the engineering corps, suddenly felt the echo of the God of Contracts in her mind.
Deborah could clearly sense that while the nature of the God of Contracts had changed somewhat, it had returned to normal and was currently connecting with her followers through divine revelation, contacting those from the Tower.
And within the public dream of this engineering corps, Deborah excitedly announced, “Lord Governor has succeeded! The Lord Governor has cleared some of the pollution!”
Upon hearing this announcement, loud cheers erupted within the public dream of the engineering corps, indicating that at least the first step of the Lord Governor’s plan had succeeded.
However, they could not relax just yet. Lilith silently prayed for her brother, and besides this world’s deities, she even prayed for all the chaotic deities from her past life, hoping that her brother would successfully return from the depths of the Sea of Consciousness.
After all, if Lind could not come back, according to the plan he left behind, the one who would have to use the Tower of Babel to ascend and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun would have to become Lilith.
