Chapter 345
He had dreams too. If only he could forcefully recruit one thousand, ten thousand Core Operators of Babel Tower, he would see how the cultists would fight back!
But now, upon seeing it, it could only be a wishful thinking.
But even if he couldn\'t turn "The Connected Ones" into "Core Operators" of Babel Tower, Bai Yan could still directly transform his "Connected Ones" into "Non-core Operators".
Bai Yan took a closer look and realized that he didn\'t have many "people of contact" or, perhaps, he simply couldn\'t see many of them.
There were many "Connected Ones" character cards, each displaying a question mark.
And there were very few "people of contact" who could display specific information, only a few, including Sylve, and most of them were even Tatsumi City middle school classmates.
"These guys are useless..."
Bai Yan, feeling a little sad, looked at this.If Holly and the others hadn\'t died... perhaps they would also qualify as \'people of contact\', but they were already Non-core Operators anyway, there was no difference.
Reviving Holly and the others was certain.
Not only Holly, but also Lin Bian, Mo, and...
Bai Yan knew of many ways to bring someone back to life. Even if extraordinary beings died, they would roam in the dimension of the deceased instead of being reborn, eventually, they would be able to come back to life.
But performing the miracle of bringing someone back to life always comes at a great cost, especially when it comes to reviving extraordinary beings. It is not an easy task at all.
The current fragile foundation of the Babel Tower, of course, cannot withstand the astronomical expense of a collective resurrection.
And, logically speaking, there is really no practical use in bringing them back to life now.
Inside the Babel Tower, there were several Crown-level fighters. The Demon Hunt Agency in Tatsumi City only had a few small cats, and they couldn\'t even compare to a single hand of Mu Ling at the moment.
"So let\'s wait a little longer..."
He shook his head gently, and then decided to add both Sylve and Lady Helen\'s character cards to the Babel Tower, making them Non-core Operators.
The possibility of saving the world...
Bai Yan knew of several people who had saved the world, such as Chris, the captain of the Knights of the Divine Blade. He was a well-known example that had been praised countless times.
Thinking about it, if I become his closest friend, could I also bring him into the Babel Tower?
In theory, of course, it is possible.
However, Bai Yan couldn\'t think of how to become good friends with Chris for the time being. The two of them had only been aware of each other so far and hadn\'t even met in person yet.
"But Chris hoped to collaborate with the Babel Tower. Maybe there could be a discussion... Let\'s find an opportunity to try later."
As long as he could bring people "up to Liangshan", Bai Yan didn\'t mind actively disguising himself to make friends.
By the time the other party got on the pirate ship, it was too late to escape.
Chris, the captain of the Knights of the Divine Blade, was incredibly strong. He was one of the most powerful middle-ranked Apocalypses. Bai Yan was truly amazed by his strength...
He had a special idea.
Could he create a character card of his own "Core Operator" for his clone, first?
In theory, it seemed feasible.
However, in practice, we can only give it a try and see how it goes.
Without any hesitation, Bai Yan chose to place the "Profligate" and "Keeper of Secrets" character cards in the "empty slots," attempting to add the identities of two Core Operators.
But he soon discovered that the action was ineffective, yet it didn\'t mean he couldn\'t set up his own character card.
However, being his current self, he could only add a maximum of one "Core Operator."
Maybe the reason... is simply because he wasn\'t strong enough yet.
Actually, Bai Yan\'s current manipulation of the "Babel Tower" is entirely derived from his own abilities.
He couldn\'t actually transform the "Babel Tower" into game data.
The transformation of game data, the additions and modifications, were all just representations that he could comprehend in his mind... These data, images, simply didn\'t exist in the real world.
The true situation is that he was using his special powers to intervene in the "Babel Tower" game.
The reason why his interference level was not enough has only one answer... he wasn\'t powerful enough yet!
Since it\'s like this, he couldn\'t create two character cards, so in reality, he could only create a clone. Trying to make two character cards was actually unnecessary.
Since I can only add one character card, should I add the "Profligate" or the "Keeper of Secrets"?
Bai Yan remained silent for a long time, then suddenly reminisced about his past self from a long time ago.
In the beginning, he simply played the game "Babel Tower" just for fun, without any complicated thoughts.
Even when he just realized that Mu Ling was a real person, he actually had a very indifferent attitude, with no real sense of urgency about saving the world.
For him, the most fundamental identity was not the mysterious and unpredictable Savior, nor the envious and pleasure-seeking profligate, nor even the calm and composed Keeper of Secrets.
Instead, he was a carefree game player who was eager to perfect his gameplay in "Babel Tower".
So, Bai Yan created a character card for his own avatar.
The name is neither "Profligate" nor "Keeper of Secrets," yet he is both "Profligate" and "Keeper of Secrets" at the same time.
Perhaps, it is himself.
"World Savior."
When Bai Yan had finished creating his new character card, he suddenly felt a deeper connection between himself and Babel Tower.
"It\'s very strange..."
It was only at this moment that Bai Yan felt, for the first time, as if the real Babel Tower had become close to him.
His former self felt like a complete stranger, but he somehow managed to make Babel Tower obey him.
He still remembers when he first entered Babel Tower, he could sense something... It seemed reluctant to obey his commands.
What is Babel Tower, after all?
For Bai Yan, this has always been an unsolved mystery.
Why did it appear in his hands?
"The information is too limited to speculate... all we can say is that it should be related to the God of Games, otherwise the people in \'the Tower\' wouldn\'t be thinking about seizing Babel Tower."
The people had only partial knowledge about the God of Games and the Connector.
As for Babel Tower...
Whether it is the Library of Ruina or the Rock Morgan group\'s database, they were completely unaware of this mysterious presence.
Babel Tower was truly filled with astonishing wonders!
Beyond comprehension!
Is it the embodiment of the God of Games\' abilities?
No, it is impossible, absolutely impossible!
No matter how powerful the God of Games was, at most, they were just a strong and prominent deity, still far from reaching the level of an Outer God.
And Babel Tower can even attain the power of the top-tier Outer Gods, such as \'Origin\' and \'Rituals,\' reaching a limit that is unbelievably exaggerated!
Bai Yan couldn\'t figure out, no matter how hard he tried, what kind of existence Babel Tower really was, and why it had ended up in his possession.
The rank of the twenty-seven Outer Gods was unimaginably high. They had witnessed countless cycles of creation and destruction in infinite parallel universes. Only they could survive each time, emerging from the ruins of the previous universe and being reborn in the next parallel universe.
Except for the Outer Gods, who are detached from the infinite world, even the mysterious higher civilizations and self-proclaimed immortal gods would eventually perish with the destruction of the parallel universes.
Suddenly, Bai Yan was overwhelmed with excruciating pain!
He immediately realized the reason. Setting up the character card for a Core Operator in Babel Tower had exhausted too much of his own mental energy.
"Hmm..."
Just as Bai Yan was about to faint, "Infinity" began to take effect!
A never-ending stream of spiritual energy flowed forth like water from a spring, gradually restoring Bai Yan\'s strength.
After several tens of seconds, he no longer felt any discomfort.
At this moment, Bai Yan\'s strength was already very formidable, and the upper limit of his spiritual power was extremely high. Even while using Power Possession·Psychic Dancer, he could effortlessly control thousands of people with a mere shift of his thoughts.
Only a power as boundless as "Infinity" could enable him to swiftly recover.
"Huff."
Bai Yan let out a breath and looked at the character card of "World Savior".
"Let me have a look."
To be honest, Bai Yan was very happy at this moment... The reason was quite simple: becoming a Core Operator of the Babel Tower meant that he could directly experience many things related to the tower!
For example, Tactical Cards, Entertainment Cards, Bai Yan could also directly use them on himself in the future.
This was indeed a wonderful thing!
And also, from then on, he would have the chance to go to worlds beyond Noah, not just limited to the inside of Noah.
So how could he not be happy?

"Who are you?," asked Bai Yan, the carefree player. He was a mysterious Savior, a profligate who delighted in slaughtering evildoers, and an elegant, composed keeper of secrets.
Bai Yan took a deep breath.
After reading the information, he discovered an overwhelming amount of valuable insights.
First and foremost is the position of the Divinity Realm!
This was an incredibly grand stature, essentially representing his near-immortality, allowing him to negotiate with the "world consciousness" of each universe.
To be honest, Bai Yan wasn\'t particularly surprised.
After all, being able to directly face an Outer God, having the power in his blood to awaken divinity... It seemed perfectly reasonable to possess a unique, extraordinary soul as well.
Generally speaking, only the gods possess souls with the stature of the Divinity Realm.
"Now, it seems, myself, could it be that I am truly the merging of the God of Games and the Connector?"
More and more evidence was emerging, and Bai Yan could only think this way, even though he had a faint feeling that something was not quite right.
And Bai Yan always felt that he was very lucky, and now he has proof.
Although his awakened talents are not primarily focused on combat, Bai Yan finds them to be quite useful in various ways.
You see, one\'s luck directly affects the summoning of cards in the game "Babel Tower."
The profit from this is really huge!
As for the other contents inside the character card...
He touched his face and murmured to himself, "Well, well, my narcissistic personality has been completely exposed... even the slightest preferences have been seen through."
Bai Yan had always wondered who was the one writing the words inside those brackets.
Could it be, the Babel Tower itself?
So what did the final "Who are you?" mean?
Like a Babel Tower that records character cards, this extraordinary and vast special artifact, in reality, is uncertain about its true identity.
Bai Yan fell into deep thought, there were too many mysteries that he and the Babel Tower possessed.
He gently shook his head, knowing that there were no more clues to ponder for the time being, so he could only let it pass for now.
"This is great! From today on, I am officially a Core Operator of Babel Tower!"
After becoming an official Core Operator of Babel Tower, Bai Yan\'s first task was to try to include himself in the "training" section of the daily missions!
In the next moment, Bai Yan, who had been staying inside Babel Tower, vanished into thin air.
He stepped into a special pure white space, where countless words and endless information floated around him.
"Is this... meant for practicing \'connection\' ability?"
Bai Yan\'s incarnation quickly saw a line of words on the ground.
"Please, within the given time, find all the information about \'Belan World\'."
How interesting!
Bai Yan wasn\'t really thrown in, of course.
He had entered the inside of Babel Tower, happily controlling the incarnation, and started preparing to complete the daily mission as if playing a game.
For him, the present "challenges" and the various "challenges" that might arise in the future were undoubtedly exciting and interesting things.
