THE REBIRTH OF A GENIUS. CREATOR/DESTROYER

Chapter 445. Sentry

The markings on the top surface of the stone pillar were actually quite easy to understand, there was no need for extreme formation skill or any other skill for that matter. All it takes is IQ and logical thinking.

If Sam had to compare these difficulties, he would say that this is similar to one of the late-stage puzzles in the Murder mystery mobile game.

He returned to the cave and sent his friends back to their cave.

He activated the communication device and began giving instructions.

“I think, I now understand the order, I will give you instructions and act accordingly. Please be careful, if we make a mistake, it will return to the starting point.

First, Watt, activate your third formation."

Watt did as he was told and answered.

"Done."

"Philip your first formation."

"Done."

The instructions kept going and slowly but surely all the formations were activated in Sam's approximate order.

The stone pillar in the middle was constantly modified. The parts rotate in different directions and at different speeds.

After about an hour, the stone pillar stopped moving and the four of them came towards him. They put their palms in the groove and injected spiritual energy at the same time.

This time, the lines on the stone pillars started to brighten and extend throughout the pillars. There was an outline pattern forming on it.

The four of them could feel some sort of movement within the stone pillar, but they did not know exactly what it was, but the movement was too powerful to ignore and within a few seconds, the entire island trembled and trembled.

They felt that something was wrong, but they did not let go of their hands. But if they saw the rest of the island, they would change their minds, as the landmass of the island began to collapse.

From the outer side of the island, the land fell bit by bit and sank in the sea. Slowly, he crept inward and reached the part where the formation was located. The land around the formation also completely collapsed, but the formation did not disappear.

The formation along with the land beneath it floated in the sea as the rest of the land sank.

As the island slowly reduced in size, the four of them also realized that something was happening. But Sam felt, this was something that should have happened, so he did not stop at all.

The entire island underwent a major metamorphosis in the next five hours. The land was gone and even the valley started to tremble. The walls of the valley slowly collapsed and the surroundings slowly sank in the sea.

The cave though was still floating like a formation. The energy waves were too much and the four of them closed their eyes tightly because of this. They could sense that their position was locked in that place and it was too late for them to retreat at this moment.

As they stood there with their eyes closed, the sea water hit them like crazy, the surrounding valley was nowhere to be seen.

Soon, the ground under their feet also disappeared, but the pillars held them in their positions and they were floating as if the roaring sea beneath them could not devour them no matter how great the will.

The chaos continued and after more than an hour, they could feel that everything was in order again and only they dared to open their eyes.

Now, there was something solid under their feet and when they looked around, they were stunned by what they saw.

The stone pillar seemed to have stood on the stone platform where they were standing as well. They noticed that the shape and size of the stone pillar changed slightly and there was some transformation.

They could see the vast ocean around them without any disturbance, but this made them even more uneasy.

There's nothing left. As for the floating rooms and formations, they didn't even know about it much less think about it.

Only at this moment did they realize that the pillar was reduced in length and the groove of its palm was also gone.

Their palms were placed on the normal surface of the stone statue. As soon as they released their palms, a human silhouette appeared above the pillar.

At first, the pole was actually as tall as a small hill, but now it was only about fifteen meters tall. So, they could clearly see the top and the silhouette.

"Well, the four of you got the pillar. By the way, I am the guardian of this Pillar. You call me a Guardian. So, out of the four of you, who wants to take that pillar. Decide quickly, or fight to the death. I'd prefer it if you chose the latter option."

The guard sat on top of the pillar as he spoke.

The four of them looked at him with strange expressions.

"What do you see? Finish it. I'll transfer ownership quickly."

"I need answers to some questions before that."

Sam spoke at this moment.

"Let's finish this with." The guard seemed a little frustrated, but Sam spoke.

"The place you don't even know where she is."

"Are you the owner of the pillar?"

"No. It's my boss."

"What is the purpose of the pillar?"

"Why do you have so many questions, son?"

"Jawab or the four of us will lose this and the pillars can stay here" Jack said from the side.

"OK, stupid boy. This is the heavenly heirloom of my boss' family. The main goal is to create an exam island, which you may have just passed. It was used by my boss' family to test the younger generation and reward them.

But something happened and the pillar disappeared along with the island created around it the night before the test.

We tried very hard to find him. But a prophet finally determined his location in this damned world. We can't enter this place. So, they sent a small portion of souls to this world by paying a significant reward for finding a suitable person to complete the island test.

You must have gotten all the meteorite sand, right? It was the most valuable island trial ever held in history. We almost lost hope. If you can get past the final stage, you can win a place in my boss' family in exchange for a pillar.

And you will also get a chance to ascend to higher realms. Trust me, that place is so much better than this place so many times."

Sam frowned. He did not know if this person was telling the truth. But that sounds like nonsense for the most part.

Who would give you so many secrets?

"What would happen, if I could keep it permanently?"

"Do you think you can handle that kid? It can only be permanently controlled or fully owned by my boss' family members. The bloodline is important."

"Then, what's the point of us being here?"

"Are you even listening to what I'm saying? I am here not only as a guardian, but also to find suitable candidates who have the potential to ascend to higher realms. No matter how you break all those formations, you are qualified to do so.

I'm here so that one of you can control the pillar for a while. I'll guide you to nature hiking and you'll be rewarded after you come to our family estate."

"Then, you could have taken the pillar? Why bother with us? Don't tell me you guys are generous and want to take care of someone from a lower realm like this?"

Sam asked with a hint of sarcasm. Something is not increasing. The words of this person are being chopped up and confused.

Sam thought for a moment and said.

"Don't tell me, this won't move past this realm unless there's no owner. That or, you have no means to cross it from a distance and you need someone from this realm. Otherwise, why are you looking for a worthy candidate on this planet?"

"We're looking for potential candidates since the island appeared on this planet anyway. Don't slander our generosity." The man's voice became slightly colder and Sam felt like he had hit the mark.

The man said all about Sam being handed over from the start but not the reason why they waited this long or why they had not taken the pillar in the first place.

Sam had a myriad of thoughts raging within his head. But no one can understand it.

"Okay, then. I'll take ownership."

Sam replied with a calm look.

"But do they agree?" The Guardian pointed at the three of them.

They nodded their heads and Sam was asked to make a spiritual imprint on the pillar.

"How do I bring this?"

"That could change in size. Don't worry." The guard replied and suddenly turned into a small-scale model in Sam's hands and at the same time, they fell into the sea.

The guard still clung to the pole and said.

"As a reward, not only will I help you enter the higher realms, I can also help you kill three extremely powerful enemies of yours."

Sam nodded and the guard disappeared into the pillar.

Sam pulled out his hovercar at this point and the four of them boarded it and planned their return trip.

What they did not know was that a middle-aged man looked at them from afar and had a deep brooding expression on his face as he watched them leave.
