Something to consider, the demon realm we see at the end of the chapter with the Fucklord and his pet demon, I think that's part of the tower. There seems to be an emphasis on descending furthur down there, what if the mid point of the tower is where people from our demonsion start, and as you go up or down you get furthur closer to either the heavenly or demonic planes respectively.

It could be tied into the shards and anti-shards with the idea that whenever the shards are destroyed in the normal world, they slowly coalese back into existance on different parts of the tower. Anti-shards are found higher up the tower, and regular shards are more normally found in the lower regions. If this is how the tower functions, as a sort of road to different planes of existance, then it could be that ascending the tower brings you ever closer to god-hood or at least a better understanding of how reality functions and through that how to manipulate the meta-physical mechanics of reality in your favor.

I think things are like this because it feels we're a little too late in the story for the demon realm plotline to be totally unrelated to the tower plot, I threw in the shards too since Riala found them in an area that vaguely sounds like she'd visited a part of the tower without realizing what it was.

This is mainly conjecture at this point, and we'll likely have to wait till we actually visit the tower before we figure out what it actually is and how it relates to the inner-workings of the universe.
