Tower of Origin: I Evolve All Rewards

Chapter 331: Chapter 331: Checkpoint Before the Inner Fog

The return from Silent Spear Crossing was quiet.

No one mistook it for a full victory. The artificial witness choir had been stopped, old soldier memories were released from kneeling distortion, and the Command Weapon Embryo resisted profiling. But the Witness Choir Ritual Commander escaped. More importantly, the enemy had confirmed that Qin Yuheng’s weapon carried old battlefield resonance.

That was dangerous.

Qin Mo wrote the new checkpoint board with unusual seriousness.

[Checkpoint: Chapters 322–330 / Current Arc Review]

Under it, he listed gains and risks.

Gains:

1. Road Mirror Children floor provided anti-false-key tools.

2. Northwest cordon stopped multiple child-road tests.

3. Mirror Lines Four, Five, and Six disrupted.

4. False Signature Veil created and evolved.

5. Qin Yuze completed first controlled perimeter success.

6. Kneeling Shadow Gate Outer Scar prevented from opening.

7. Silent Spear Crossing witness choir stopped.

8. Command Weapon Embryo gained Restored Silent Spear Memory Trace.

9. Local Child Road Councils established to reduce dependence on Qin Yuheng.

Then risks:

Risks:

1. Golden Bud escaped data still being used.

2. Mo Cangyan successfully moved some deeper teams while creating distractions.

3. Outer Scar rose one inch.

4. Enemy knows Qin Yuheng can counter road mirrors.

5. Enemy suspects Command Weapon Embryo carries old battlefield memory.

6. Trust attacks remain effective in frightened villages.

7. Witness Choir Commander escaped.

Qin Yuheng read the board.

The pattern was clear.

The enemy had shifted from direct child capture to layered strategic testing:

Test protection resonance.

Test road mirror lines.

Test remote child-path data.

Test shadow-road outer scars.

Test weapon resonance.

Attack public trust.

Mo Cangyan had not been trying to win every exchange.

He was mapping Qin Yuheng.

Now Qin Yuheng had to map him back.

Lin Xian’er supplied the next piece.

"The escaped Witness Choir Commander used a funding token from Dawn Benevolence but traveled through a Blood Sun route. That means Dawn, Blood Sun, and older road cult remnants are cooperating at least temporarily."

Yu Qingmei added, "Publicly, Dawn still claims legal charity status. We cannot strike headquarters without more evidence."

Jiang Yuexuan’s message came later:

If Outer Scar rose one inch and witness choir nearly synchronized, the next likely step is not opening a gate.

It is testing whether the scar can recognize a false guardian.

Watch for guardian impersonation.

Qin Wanshan’s expression darkened.

"False guardian."

The First Shadow had once been loyal. If enemies created a false road guardian figure, they could lure old shadow lines and child-path data together.

Qin Zhengyuan’s wound pulsed faintly when the term was spoken.

Mu Qinglan placed moonlight over his wrist.

"We are approaching something connected to the external ritual center, but still from the outside."

No one suggested rushing.

That would be fatal.

Instead, they prepared for the next Tower floor.

Because once again, the Tower file arrived at the right moment.

[Floor 136: The Guardian Who Was Not]

Type:

False guardian / inheritance impersonation / protective authority deception / shadow-road trial.

Estimated Duration:

2 Tower days.

Warning:

Not every shield standing before a child is protection.

Not every guardian guarding a road is loyal.

Qin Mo stared at the file.

"I hate how specific it is."

Qin Yuheng looked at the warning.

False guardian.

This floor would be crucial.

Before entry, Qin Yuheng made several decisions:

The Rightful Key Boundary Crystal would remain in the estate.

A resonance token based on it would be carried, but not the main crystal.

The Sovereign Countermeasure Signature Veil would cover all rare tool activations.

The Command Weapon Embryo would not be drawn unless necessary.

No bloodline resonance under any condition.

Qin Xue’er brought him another drawing before he left.

This time, the drawing showed a silver bell-sword standing between a child and a smiling shadow.

"This one is a fake guard," she said.

Qin Yuheng looked at the drawing seriously.

"How do you know?"

"It stands too close."

Mu Qinglan, behind her, smiled faintly.

Qin Yuheng understood the insight.

A true guardian leaves room.

A false guardian crowds the future.

He folded the drawing and placed it in his inventory.

"Thank you."

Qin Xue’er nodded with great seriousness.

The team entered Floor 136.

The first thing they saw was a shining guardian in white armor standing before a group of children.

It held a shield.

It smiled gently.

Behind it, a road gate waited.

The guardian said:

"I will protect them. Give them to me."

Qin Yuheng’s eyes became cold.

The floor had begun.
