Chapter 345: The New Operator “World Savior”

“In this way, it seems impossible to simply create new Core Operators… It’s possible to find the ‘person of contact,’ but finding someone with the potential to ‘save the world’ is actually quite challenging.”

Bai Yan let out a deep sigh.

He had dreams too. If only he could forcefully recruit a thousand, ten thousand Core Operators from Babel Tower, he would relish the chance to see how the cultists would fight back.

But now, upon reflection, it seemed like mere wishful thinking.

Even if he couldn’t turn “The Connected Ones” into Babel Tower’s Core Operators, Bai Yan realized that he could still directly transform them into “Non-core Operators.”

As he took a closer look, he noticed the lack of many “people of contact.” Perhaps he simply couldn’t see most of them.

There were many “Connected Ones” character cards, each marked with a question mark.

But only a few “people of contact” displayed any specific information—among them, Sylve, and the majority were even his middle school classmates from Tatsumi City.

“These guys are useless…”

Bai Yan sighed, a tinge of sadness creeping into his expression.

If Holly and the others hadn’t died… maybe they too would have qualified as ‘people of contact.’ But as they were already Non-core Operators, there was really no difference.

Bringing Holly and the others back was a certainty. Not only Holly, but also Lin Bian, Mo, and others.

Bai Yan knew many ways to bring someone back to life. Even extraordinary beings, upon dying, would roam in the dimension of the deceased. Eventually, they could return to life.

However, bringing someone back always came at a heavy cost, particularly when it came to reviving extraordinary beings. It was no easy feat.

The fragile foundation of Babel Tower could not sustain the astronomical cost of a collective resurrection.

Logically, it didn’t make sense to bring them back now.

Inside Babel Tower, there were several Crown-level fighters. Meanwhile, the Demon Hunt Agency in Tatsumi City only had a handful of minor operatives who couldn’t even compare to a single hand of Mu Ling.

“So let’s wait a little longer…”

He shook his head gently, deciding to add both Sylve and Lady Helen’s character cards to Babel Tower, making them Non-core Operators.

The possibility of saving the world…

Bai Yan knew of several who had saved the world, such as Chris, the captain of the Knights of the Divine Blade. He was a well-known example, praised countless times.

Thinking about it, if I become his closest friend, could I bring him into Babel Tower?

In theory, it was possible.

But for now, Bai Yan couldn’t think of how to become good friends with Chris. The two had only been aware of each other so far and had yet to meet in person.

“But Chris hoped to collaborate with Babel Tower. Maybe we can discuss it… Let’s find an opportunity to try later.”

As long as he could get people “up to Liangshan,” Bai Yan didn’t mind disguising himself to make friends.

By the time the other party boarded the pirate ship, there would be no 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 an idea.

Could he create a character card for his own “Core Operator” clone first?

In theory, it seemed feasible.

But in practice, he could only try and see what happened.

Without hesitation, Bai Yan placed the “Profligate” and “Keeper of Secrets” character cards into the empty slots, attempting to add the identities of two Core Operators.

But he soon discovered that the action was ineffective. This didn’t mean he couldn’t create his own character card, though.

However, as his current self, he could only add a maximum of one “Core Operator.”

Perhaps it was because he wasn’t strong enough yet.

At this moment, Bai Yan’s manipulation of Babel Tower came entirely from his own abilities. He couldn’t actually transform Babel Tower into game data.

The transformation, additions, and modifications were all just representations in his mind. The data and images didn’t actually exist in the real world.

In truth, he was using his special powers to intervene in the “Babel Tower” game.

The reason his interference wasn’t strong enough was simple… he wasn’t powerful enough yet.

Since he could only add one character card, should he choose the “Profligate” or the “Keeper of Secrets”?

Bai Yan fell silent, his mind drifting back to his past self.

Initially, he played the game “Babel Tower” just for fun, without any complex thoughts. Even when he first realized that Mu Ling was a real person, he had been indifferent, with no true urgency to save the world.

For him, the most fundamental identity wasn’t the mysterious Savior, nor the pleasure-seeking profligate, nor even the composed Keeper of Secrets.

He was, at his core, just a carefree game player eager to perfect his gameplay in “Babel Tower.”

So, Bai Yan created a character card for his own avatar.

The name? Not “Profligate” or “Keeper of Secrets,” but “World Savior.”

Perhaps, it was himself.

When Bai Yan finished creating the new character card, he suddenly felt a deeper connection between himself and Babel Tower.

“It’s very strange…”

At that moment, Bai Yan felt, for the first time, as if Babel Tower had become close to him.

His former self had felt like a stranger, yet now, Babel Tower obeyed him.

He still remembered when he first entered Babel Tower, sensing something… as if it were reluctant to obey his commands.

What is Babel Tower, after all?

For Bai Yan, this had always been an unsolved mystery.

Why had it appeared 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.”

People knew little about the God of Games and the Connector.

As for Babel Tower…

Whether it was the Library of Ruina or the Rock Morgan group’s database, none of them knew of this mysterious presence.

Babel Tower was filled with astonishing wonders!

Beyond comprehension!

Was it the embodiment of the God of Games’ powers?

No, that seemed impossible!

No matter how powerful the God of Games was, at best, they were just a strong deity—far from being an Outer God.

Yet, Babel Tower could wield the powers of the top-tier Outer Gods, like ‘Origin’ and ‘Rituals,’ reaching an unbelievable limit!

Bai Yan couldn’t figure it out, no matter how hard he tried. What exactly was Babel Tower? And why had it ended up in his hands?

The Outer Gods’ rank was unimaginably high. They had witnessed countless cycles of creation and destruction across infinite parallel universes, surviving each one, emerging from the ruins of the old universe to be reborn in the next.

Except for the Outer Gods, no higher civilization or immortal god could survive the destruction of parallel universes.

Suddenly, Bai Yan was overwhelmed with excruciating pain!

He realized the cause—setting up the character card for a Core Operator had drained much of his mental energy.

“Hmm…”

Just as he was about to faint, “Infinity” began to take effect!

A continuous stream of spiritual energy poured into him, gradually restoring his strength.

After several moments, the discomfort faded.

Bai Yan’s strength was now formidable, and his spiritual power’s upper limit was extraordinarily high. Even while using Power Possession·Psychic Dancer, he could easily control thousands of people with a mere thought.

Only a power like “Infinity” could restore him so quickly.

“Huff.”

Bai Yan exhaled and glanced at the “World Savior” character card.

“Let me have a look.”

At that moment, Bai Yan felt a surge of happiness… Simply becoming a Core Operator of Babel Tower meant he could directly experience many new things!

For instance, Tactical Cards and Entertainment Cards—Bai Yan could even use them on himself in the future.

This was truly wonderful!

Moreover, now he could venture into worlds beyond Noah, not just be limited to the inside of it.

How could he not be happy?

“Who are you?” asked Bai Yan—the carefree player, a mysterious Savior, a profligate slayer of evil, and a composed Keeper of Secrets.

Bai Yan sighed.

Reading the information, he discovered overwhelming insights.

First: his position in the Divinity Realm—a near-immortal status, allowing him to negotiate with the “world consciousness” of each universe.

Not surprisingly, he was able to face an Outer God directly. The power within him seemed to awaken divinity… It made sense that his soul was extraordinary.

Could he be the merging of the God of Games and the Connector?

More and more evidence pointed to this, though something still didn’t feel quite right.

Bai Yan always felt very lucky, and now, he had proof.

While his talents weren’t combat-focused, they proved invaluable in other ways.

His luck directly influenced his ability to summon cards in Babel Tower—an enormous advantage!

He looked over the rest of the character card’s contents…

His narcissism had been fully exposed, even down to his smallest preferences.

“Could it be the Babel Tower itself writing these?”

He wondered about the final question: “Who are you?”

Just like Babel Tower’s character cards, this grand artifact seemed uncertain of its own identity.

Bai Yan shook his head. For now, there were too many mysteries, and he had no more clues.

“This is great! From today on, I am officially a Core Operator of Babel Tower!”

His first task as an official Core Operator was to add himself to the “training” section of daily missions.

In the next moment, Bai Yan disappeared from Babel Tower, entering a pure white space where countless words and endless information floated around him.

“Is this for practicing ‘connection’ abilities?”

He quickly saw a line of words on the ground:

“Find all the information about ‘Belan World’ within the given time.”

How interesting!

Bai Yan entered Babel Tower, controlling his incarnation, eager to complete the daily mission as if it were a game.

For him, these “challenges” and the ones yet to come were undeniably exciting.
