The Martial God told the first three who had climbed up to rest. Lan Xuan and Zeng Xuan had no other choice; they could only sit down on the spot and meditate to recover. It was a good opportunity for them to catch their breath and prepare for the sprint to the final layer.
The continuous climb had been incredibly taxing, and both of their faces were extremely pale. It wasn't that the gravity was overwhelmingly strong, but rather that the Illusions were growing more intense. If their Willpower hadn't been decent, they would have ended up just like the others—falling from the heights, struggling endlessly, and almost completely losing their ability to move.
This was the general pattern. Those bewildered by the Illusions were sent out by the Martial God for the people outside to treat. Sometimes, they were just knocked unconscious with a slap, which was a slightly better fate.
