Degrade from Nobility to a Humble Slave novel Chapter 4249

The illusions that Elder Xue and the others faced were much more advanced than the one Geoffrey had encountered.

However, in terms of life-or-death struggles, both the Elemental race and Elder Xue had been more experienced than Geoffrey.

It was no exaggeration to state that all warriors who qualified to enter the Levitation Tower had already come to regard life and death as unimportant details, and a life-or-death test wasn't really anything that concerned them.

Therefore, Geoffrey didn't wait long before Elder Xue and the two members of the Elemental race had safely accomplished the illusions.

Upon passing the test, Elder Xue turned to confirm Geoffrey's safety immediately. He was relieved to see that the young man was unscathed.

"What was your answer to the question?" Elder Xue asked out of curiosity.

"I answered it with honesty. I admitted that I'm afraid of death," said Geoffrey.

"Oh? Truly?" Elder Xue was taken aback by this unexpected answer, but he quickly understood the reasoning behind it.

Everyone who entered the Levitation Tower knew there was a great likelihood of dying. Elder Xue and the two members of the Elemental race had boldly stated that they were not afraid of death; hence, they had faced much more severe life-or-death challenges.

In particular, Elder Xue had been subject to hundreds of cycles of birth and death in the limited period of time. If it had been Geoffrey, he would have been overwhelmed and succumbed to the pain.

Geoffrey's weakness actually worked to his advantage because his tests in the Levitation Tower had a much lower level of difficulty than the other warriors'. If he continued to advance at this pace, it might not be as difficult for him to pass all the tests.

"Let's move on!"

Once the red line disappeared, the four of them continued to ascend the spiraling stairs of the Levitation Tower.

Sixty feet...

Seventy feet...

Eighty feet...

When they reached the level that was ninety feet away from the starting point, the mysterious consciousness raised another question:

"Who will you choose to save in a crisis?"

Before Geoffrey could answer it, his consciousness was drawn into an illusion again. He saw the same little girl in the illusion. This time, she gave Geoffrey a chance to save his own life or the lives of ten thousand other people. He would have to either sacrifice his life for the ten thousand people, or sacrifice their lives for his own.

Geoffrey's sense of self-preservation quickly answered. He selected his own survival with almost no hesitation at all. For the young man, his life was much more valuable than those of irrelevant strangers!

Moreover, Elder Xue had repeatedly emphasized the importance of being honest, and that meant he should answer the Levitation Tower's questions with absolute honesty. He was very confident in his honest answer.

In the illusion, those innocent people were slowly submerged in lethal lava. The little girl watched beside Geoffrey. "Cold-blooded," she commented. Then, the illusion immediately disappeared from his mind.

Soon, Elder Xue and the two members of the Elemental race also passed through the test without a hitch.

After passing through three tests in a row, Geoffrey's expression had become greatly relaxed. "Elder Xue, these are actually not soul tests. They didn't involve the strength of soul, nor the level of power," he remarked. "I think they were more like designed to test our humanity..."

"I totally agree." Elder Xue nodded.

"It shouldn't be all that difficult to pass these tests," said Geoffrey.

It was hard for him to believe that no one from the six great races of the Deep Space had managed to pass through the Levitation Tower for a great many years.

Elder Xue chuckled and replied, "Although the Elemental race, the Cold Ape race, and the Wrona race are powerful, their civilizations are still at a barbaric stage. They possess a poorly developed humanity."
