Civilized creatures pursue a sense of ritual when they go through many major events.

The smallest reflection of this sense of ritual is probably the various rules of men and women in love, or the setting off firecrackers when opening a shop. The large reflection is like the customs of various festivals, or the ascension of the ancient emperors.

The ritual gradually developed rules.

The same is true for development at the pyramid level, which is no less than the ascension of the emperor to the throne for people.

Those who can witness it will also leave a figure in the entire human history.

This is the intention of Li Xiaoyu to invite Tang Xian.

"By the way, I'm a little uneasy. Can I take a child there?" Tang Xian said.

"Tang Xiaojiu?" Li Xiaoyu asked.

"Yes."

"You'll feel at ease with a kid?"

"Yes, she is my mascot." Tang Xian casually made a mistake.

"Okay, I'll take her to the entrance of the eighth floor."

"See you later. The phone bill is quite expensive, so I'll hang up first."

The busy voice prompt from the phone made Li Xiaoyu grit his teeth and stamp his feet.

Li Xiaoyu's people are very efficient and soon arrived at the bottom.

It is a group of fully armed regular soldiers.

Tang Xian, the leader, had met the one who was promoted to the person who led the way during formal working hours.

Tang Xian felt that it was quite ritual.

"Mr. Tang, please. The person you want, including your team members, will see you on the seventh floor."

“Hard work.”

Because I met Li Xiaoyu, the ban between levels lost its meaning to Tang Xian.

But today, he still felt a sense of trance back to not long ago, when he was just a temporary worker waiting for promotion.

When my eyes passed through the reinforced glass, I no longer recalled the experience of teenagers in the school district, but the various subversions these days.

Even though I am as knowledgeable as myself, I have seen many things that are difficult to explain and have never been recorded during this trip to the mining area.

Tang Xian suddenly felt a little nervous.

I am also looking forward to seeing the answers to many questions on the eighth floor.

...

...

From the sixth floor, the scenery is completely different from the previous five floors.

It is reflected in the colors of the floor and ceiling. Just like the first five floors were originally in the era of the Industrial Revolution, while the sixth and seventh floors were already postmodern.

The architectural style here is no longer the commercial building that many people are accustomed to.

It looks like a concept building in science fiction movies and TV shows.

The seventh floor is not much different from the sixth floor.

In Tang Xian's opinion, it seems that the first five layers are the surface.

And six or seven layers are the inner layer.

As for the eighth floor, you can only see it later.

...

...

At the entrance to the eighth floor.

About a hundred people were waiting here.

These are the elites from all walks of life in Thirty-Nine Fortress, and the trade routes are also included. Most of them are in the education industry, and they will update their future teaching plans based on the knowledge obtained in the eighth level.

However, this series of things will take a long time to implement them, and the relevant knowledge must be authorized by the Li family.

When we arrived at the entrance of the eighth floor, everyone signed a confidentiality agreement with the highest level and extremely cruel breach of contract sanctions.

Tang Xian was the same.

When Li Zheng saw Tang Xian, he joked:

"Xiao Tang, you finally come. Your girl is really unbearable. She asked her to call her brother and insisted on calling her uncle. Am I that old?"

Beside Li Zheng were Tang Xiaojiu, Dong Ran and Qiao Shanshan. Dong Ran and Qiao Shanshan were obviously a little nervous.

Tang Xian smiled and said:

"The child is not called wrong. Men are sometimes stranger than women. They don't like to hear girls in their teens call uncles, but they like to hear girls in their twenties call fathers."

Li Zheng's old face turned red and he thought to himself that my father is still here. Did this person not pay attention to the occasion when he speaks?

Li Xiaoyu nodded expressionlessly and said:

"That's how my brother is."

As soon as these words were said, Li Zheng blushed, and Li Xiaoyu's sister-in-law blushed too.

Li Wanye coughed lightly and said:

"Okay, stop making trouble."

In front of Tang Xian was a gate that looked very much like a bronze material. This gate was about thirty meters high and ten meters wide.

The patterns on the door panel are like various geometric patterns that are ten times more complex than integrated circuits.

These drawings are filled with a faint purple light. The sign in front of the door says level 8.

On the right side of the bronze gate, there is a dial with a scale of twenty. Compared with the patterns on the bronze gate, the purple light emitted by the dial is much dazzling.

It is like a river, and the purple light flowing out is like river water, nourishing the entire bronze gate.

In the center of the engraving, local text of the fortress is written with the rules for opening the door and the serious consequences of trying to open the door with force.

There is also a percentage number, which should be the progress of opening the door.

The progress is now 99% of 75%.

The staff are constantly confirming and detecting energy fluctuations and reporting the inspection situation to Li Wanye from time to time.

Long before Tang Xian arrived, the people of the Li family had already begun to have cumbersome customs.

For Li Wanye, the top of this pyramid is home to gods that can protect humans.

It gives humans shelter, divine power and technology, and will eventually lead the barriers of human mining areas, allowing humans to become overlords again in that rich world.

So he doesn't ask for anything else, but the Li family will have various customs of worshiping gods, including three kneeling and nine kowtows.

This is also a custom established by the ancestors of the three great masters.

Tang Xian did not see this scene.

Perhaps Li Xiaoyu deliberately avoided it and did not want Tang Xian to see her stupid side.

It is worth mentioning that before entering the eighth floor, there is an extremely complicated lord confirmation ceremony.

The lord is the highest in charge of a pyramid, but the lord's confirmation does not come from the recognition of the people of the pyramid.

There is also an official procedure.

On the dial, Li Wanye needs to personally complete the claim of lord authority.

After completing this ceremony, the ring on Li Wanye's hand had an extra scale.

But others don’t know about these things. Even Li Xiaoyu and Li Zheng don’t know about them.

Even himself told him the secret of the ring when his father was about to die.

In everyone's opinion, this ring is just a decoration with a lot of commemorative value.

But the distribution of power and the transportation of core equipment in the pyramid are all based on this small ring.

...

...

The purple light slowly occupied the entire door.

The numbers on the dial finally became 100%.

The light of the dial also dimmed instantly, but at the same time, the entire bronze gate instantly became dazzling.

Everyone covered their eyes and could hear the sound of the door slowly opening.

This process lasted for about a minute, and gradually someone opened his eyes, including Tang Xian.

Then people's screams and cheers came in their ears, which lasted for a long time.
