Chapter 1662: Chapter 1661: Shocking the Divine Race
Fang Yu’s memorization speed was extremely fast.
The structure on that one-foot-long blueprint took him about half an hour to fully commit to memory.
Then Fang Yu put them back in place one by one according to their previous positions. Of course, this was also done with Energy Mantra—only with this kind of micro-control of power could it be done without the slightest error.
After he finished placing everything.
Fang Yu used the previous hiding Array to turn these blueprints back into a single sheet of paper.
Fortunately, this Array was not difficult and was very simple to operate.
Once everything returned to its original state.
Fang Yu raised his head and glanced at that wrench. This should be some kind of switch, but even if you turned it off, the Heavenly Ladder would only temporarily stop operating. To make the Heavenly Ladder truly cease functioning, it had to be destroyed.
"Looks like this Heavenly Ladder can still exist for a while. I’ll head back first."
Fang Yu took out the Pocket World Shuttle.
He waved it forward directly.
A crack appeared in the space.
Without any hesitation, Fang Yu stepped into it. Everything reverted to how it had been before, as if nothing had ever happened.
Throughout the entire Heavenly Ladder, the rules were drifting around just like before.
At the same time.
An alarm sounded from the administrator’s office.
"Alert, alert, someone has reached level 1500! Alert, alert, someone has reached the final point!"
The alarm siren repeated over and over.
And the administrator who heard it was completely stunned on the spot. He knew very well what reaching the final point meant: in the entire Divine Race, no one had ever reached the end so far, and even the high-level members of the Divine Race had never tried it.
In other words.
That most VIP person in the previous batch was the first in history to reach the end of the Heavenly Ladder.
The administrator panicked.
He hurried to the entrance of the Heavenly Ladder, trying to search for Fang Yu’s figure. Unfortunately, no matter how he looked, he couldn’t find a single person; instead, it was quiet and peaceful.
Level 1500 was not particularly long.
As long as you went in and took a look, you could see all the way to the end.
The only thing he had to take into account was those rules drifting everywhere. Only the existence of these rules could block his line of sight.
So.
The administrator searched with particular care, even mobilizing his own energy.
He also used his administrative permissions. Under such circumstances, he could search the entire Heavenly Ladder in a short time.
When the Divine Race created the Heavenly Ladder, they gave those rules a legitimate identity. This administrator had that legitimate identity. His energy could move about unhindered and would not be repelled.
A moment passed.
The administrator searched the entire Heavenly Ladder once and found it completely empty, not a single trace of anyone.
"How is this possible??"
"Why would this happen?"
The administrator had clearly seen the VIP walk in. There was no reason for him to just vanish like that.
But no matter how he searched, he couldn’t find anyone, which proved that there was simply no one inside the Heavenly Ladder.
After confirming several times, the administrator gave up searching.
He then returned to his office and called the higher-ups to report this matter.
Because this matter was too serious, he couldn’t hide it. Paper can’t wrap fire; a matter this important was obviously going to come out.
When he reported in full detail the news that someone had reached the end to the higher-ups...
Their response was surprisingly calm.
"Got it. You just continue managing the Heavenly Ladder as usual. Also, completely seal and hide the backup Heavenly Ladder. The higher-ups will not meddle in matters concerning the Heavenly Ladder for a while. You assign people to guard it, and you must not let anything go wrong."
"Yes."
"In addition, investigate who that Divine Race member who reached the final point actually is. Once you find out, report back to me, or bring this person before me. I will discuss with the senior leadership of the Divine Race how to deal with him."
"Yes."
After cutting off the communication signal.
The administrator wiped the sweat from his forehead. He had thought the higher-ups would definitely blame him, but unexpectedly, they not only didn’t scold him, they even helped him by giving instructions and letting him just follow orders. That was a good thing. Clearly, the higher-ups were not particularly concerned about someone reaching the final point.
Thinking of this.
The administrator sighed.
He started to pull up the information of that person who had applied for the top-tier VIP.
He turned on the computer and entered the VIP number. All the data popped up before his eyes, and only then did he realize that this gentleman had not left his real name at all—only three characters: Mister Fang.
There were tons of people with the surname Fang in the main city.
Was he supposed to call them all in one by one?
This was really awkward.
Aside from the name, there was no other information at all.
All because he had ignored regulations just to meet his performance quota when registering, not recording any identity info or number or anything.
Looking back now.
The administrator regretted it terribly.
"For someone to reach the end, his Cultivation must be terrifying. That means he’s definitely not some nobody in the main city. I’d better send people to investigate."
Once the administrator had thought it through, he began preparing for the investigation.
...
At the same time.
Those students had already spread the news that someone had passed the 600th step.
It caused an uproar in no time.
Many people began leaving comments on the Main Planet’s forum to question it.
"Gotta be fake. How could anyone possibly reach the 600th step?"
"I think it’s fake. It’s never happened before, it’s not happening now, and it won’t ever happen."
"That’s way too absolute. The waves of the Yangtze push the waves ahead; no one knows how strong the later generations of the Divine Race will be. The Arrays on the Heavenly Ladder are fixed and unchanging; sooner or later someone will study them thoroughly."
"The Arrays on the Heavenly Ladder don’t change easily for a year or two, but they often update the tech and Arrays inside. Once it’s updated, let alone these newcomers—even those powerful people, the old Divine Race, won’t be able to step onto the Heavenly Ladder."
The debate online was endless.
But no matter which side it was.
They were either blaming the administrator for incompetence or speculating about that person’s identity.
A wave of public opinion quickly formed.
The administrator also knew that this matter had to be addressed openly, so he posted an announcement online.
The title was: Notice Regarding That VIP Gentleman Breaking Through Level 1800.
Just that title alone got all the residents of the Ten Great Planets to click on it within a single day.
It was quickly pushed to number one on both the click rankings and the trending list.
"They messed up, right? I heard from a few students that the instruments over there all malfunctioned, they couldn’t even see the Heavenly Ladder live feed."
"Level 1800—are they insulting my intelligence?"
"I also think it’s totally fake. The officials are really going all out to hype this and rake in ticket money for the Heavenly Ladder. They’re obviously teaming up to scam everyone!"
"Scammers are disgusting."
Originally there weren’t that many curses, but once the administrator posted, it instead drew even more people to curse.
This left him very helpless; no matter what he did, there would always be people cursing him, that was for sure.
So simply, he decided not to bother with it anymore.
On the other side.
Holding the Pocket World Shuttle, Fang Yu appeared near the Cui residence.
"This Pocket World Shuttle really is convenient!" Fang Yu exclaimed in admiration.
