Legend

Long, long ago, the gods were said to have built an obelisk tower in the mortal world that needed to be climbed in order for individuals to ascend to the heavens and become true deities. This tower is called Xing Tower, and it can be found on the Ying continent. 

The Ying continent was ruled by the empire of Zheng, and it cultivated people with great prowess and spirit energy. Mortals and immortals are the ones who inhabit this place. But ordinary mortals aren't allowed to enter the tower. A few who tried couldn't even get past the first floor and ended up dead. 

Those who are qualified to challenge the tower are those beings born under an auspicious star. It was said that they were immortals who had a thousand-year lifespan. They are stronger than ordinary mortals, and the barrier surrounding the tower didn't rot their flesh the same way mortals' did. 

Fewer than a hundred immortals have reached the top of the tower in the centuries since it was built. Unfortunately, none of them becomes a true deity and enters the divine realm.

No matter how powerful they are, they failed to answer the question of the guardian for the last trial.

What was the question?

Nobody remembers it among the immortals who reached the top of the tower.

Since then, the Ying continent has remained godless.
