Based on appearance alone, there was nothing special about the Heavenly Ring Staff.
It just looked like a piece of old wood with a frail-looking bottom side and a slightly thick top side. The crown at its top was messily spread out, making it appear a bit bloated and peculiar. All in all, it gave a mysterious impression, like a delicate artwork.
Geoffrey stretched out his huge hand, which was several times bigger than before, and attempted to pull the Heavenly Ring Staff from the purple crystal.
However, he failed to remove it with his brute force. Actually, he couldn't put too much pressure on the staff because he was afraid that he might break it.
Geoffrey then threw a few more punches at the purple crystal, where the lower part of the staff was buried. A few moments after, the crystal was finally smashed to pieces, allowing him to completely acquire the Heavenly Ring Staff.
As he stared upon the staff in his hands, he couldn't help but blurt out, "Does this thing really have the ability to reverse the grim situation that we're facing?"
He inspected the staff some more and then injected a wisp of consciousness into it. As soon as it entered the staff, it just vanished without a trace.
"It's useless, huh?"
Geoffrey was quite surprised upon seeing it. After thinking for a while, he decided to grab the Heavenly Ring Staff and walked towards the door. He saw that the little girl was still there and standing silently.
Once the Heavenly Ring Staff was taken away, the Levitation Tower had already served its purpose and would lose its meaning of existence. It also meant that the little girl would disappear over time, though no one knew how much time would elapse before that happened.
"Hey, do you know how to use the Heavenly Ring Staff?" Geoffrey thought of asking the little girl.
But as usual, the little girl just shook her head and said, "I don't know."
"Tch. You know nothing…"
However, Geoffrey's primary goal was only to take the Heavenly Ring Staff to Zen. So, it wasn't really that urgent for him to find an answer on how to use it. "Then, how can I leave this place?" he asked again.
This time, before the little girl could shake her head and tell him that she didn't know, a great force of attraction suddenly rushed out from the staff, extracting a small portion of power from Geoffrey's body.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A ray of purple light hovered around the Heavenly Ring Staff and directly shot towards the ceiling of the Levitation Tower's top floor.
The moment that the beam of purple light hit the ceiling, it suddenly transformed into something inconceivable.
Earlier, when the different races of the Deep Space, which were at the bottom of the tower, had witnessed that the green light had climbed up to the top floor, they got restless. However, soon after, they saw that the green light suddenly disappeared. Normally, when this light was extinguished, it meant that the creature bearing it had died.
Upon seeing this, most of the members of the Deep Space races let out loud cheers. They thought that if they couldn't get the Heavenly Ring Staff, then they hoped that the Elemental race couldn't obtain it either. However, among all these savage creatures, a small portion of them was actually disappointed. These creatures didn't want to die in the Levitation Tower. If someone was able to acquire the Heavenly Ring Staff, then it meant that their cruel situation would be over.
It had been a while since the green light was extinguished, and then a ray of purple light suddenly appeared. The top of the Levitation Tower, which originally looked like a chimney, began spreading out. It transformed into a flower-like object that bloomed and expanded in all directions. From it, a burly figure eventually emerged.
Buzz!
At this moment, Geoffrey noticed that all the lines on the huge square turned into green.
He looked at the green lines and wondered if it meant that the restrictions on the square had been lifted already.
While pondering on this thought, he jumped from the top of the tower. After floating in the air for a while, he accurately landed at the door of the oval-shaped building on the far right of the tower.
At that time, the little monster from the Elemental race was also standing at the door of the building. So, when Geoffrey suddenly landed, the monster was instantly stunned as Geoffrey appeared in front of him. For a brief moment, he was in a daze. When he came to his senses, the little monster muttered some indistinguishable words, then bent over and bowed before Geoffrey.
"Hey, you don't need to do this." Geoffrey was slightly taken aback by the little monster's sudden actions.
He couldn't help but think that these Deep Space races were indeed simple-minded.
In fact, Elder Xue had persevered in teaching them a lot of things. However, they still held their beliefs and traditions that the primitive tribes followed. With that, Elder Xue had no choice but to disguise himself as their god, because this was the only way that he could properly and effectively command the Elemental race.
When the members of the different races from the Deep Space saw Geoffrey with the legendary staff in his hand, their stares immediately turned nasty. It was as if they were ready to pounce on him any time.
When they found out that the restrictions on the huge square were already lifted, they rushed towards Geoffrey without any hesitation.
They came from all directions while letting out wild screams and roars.
