Chapter 732 - 726: The Final Trial
Boom!!
The violent explosion shook the entire trial space fiercely.
Four hundred thousand species along with simultaneous attacks from a dozen royal families, could be said to be earth-shattering, annihilating everything.
This was also the first time Lin You had unleashed his full power since he became a True God, almost counting as his all-out strike.
For this strike, he calculated meticulously.
First, he set traps to surprise and severely damage half of the opponent’s eye, then took risks to deplete the opponent’s power of law, fleeing thousands of miles, finally creating this opportunity to strike.
He used all kinds of skills to lower attributes, though the effects were diminished, everything was utilized.
He could say he now has no backup plan, even his power of law was depleted due to using time reversal.
If even this way he couldn’t slay the opponent...
Fortunately.
The worst-case scenario didn’t occur.
Just as he held his breath and concentrated to check the situation, a prompt finally sounded in his mind.
[Congratulations, you successfully killed a Tier Fourteen Celestial God...]
[Passed the fourth trial, reward: Celestial God Position]
[Due to your extraordinary performance, extra reward: Level x2]
[Level up, current level: Level 10 True God]
[Teleportation is about to proceed, please prepare...]
"Hoo—"
Lin You let out a breath, his whole body slumping to the ground as if he had lost all strength.
And in fact, he truly did.
After more than half an hour of high-intensity combat and fleeing, he was almost without the strength to even lift a hand.
Additionally, excessive depletion of the power of law had left his spirit somewhat dazed.
However.
At this moment, he was extremely excited.
Because he really did it, as a True God, he slew a Celestial God!
Even though it was just the lowest Level 1 Celestial God, and was heavily restricted by trial space, plus caught off guard, it finally allowed him to succeed.
But it truly was a grand-tier leap to kill the opponent.
What excited him more was that because he over-completed the trial, he was directly rewarded with two levels, allowing him to soar to the pinnacle of Tier Thirteen, and he also successfully acquired the Celestial God Position.
Just one step away from becoming a Celestial God!
Although he knew that much of the credit was due to the underlying foundation of the Ten Thousand Realms, allowing him to level up so quickly, he still couldn’t suppress the excitement in his heart.
True God and Celestial God.
Although there is only a single character difference, the power and status are worlds apart.
Only by reaching the Celestial God level can he stand his ground in the Divine Realm, facing the upcoming changes, and withstand the oppression of various major forces.
"Now I’m just missing the Tier Fourteen Crystal Stone."
Lin You murmured to himself, involuntarily glancing towards the forest that had been razed.
On a bloodied, blurred corpse, a fist-sized resource treasure pearl was floating.
Just hope there is a Tier Fourteen Crystal Stone inside.
Otherwise, with his current power, trying to slay a second Celestial God or Tier Fourteen Demon is almost impossible.
After all, one rarely gets this lucky to encounter such a trial.
Under normal circumstances.
A Celestial God-level expert can summon several species casually, enough to overwhelm him, nowhere near as restricted as now, allowing him to seize the advantage.
Seeing the trial space about to close, he strenuously stood up, staggering to the corpse with the Flower Spirits’ healing, and took the resource treasure pearl.
[Do you wish to use "Resource Treasure Pearl (Celestial God)"?]
Celestial God-level treasure pearl...
Lin You couldn’t help taking a deep breath, his gaze trembling.
If this treasure pearl is sold, it would undoubtedly cause a sensation.
One must understand this is a Celestial God.
Apart from a few Main Gods and Demon Lords, the apex existence!
Normally, it’s hard for ordinary people to even see, let alone imagine that they might fall?
Even Lin You himself was once startled by Celestial God-level experts, not daring to approach, only watching from afar.
"Use."
Without hesitation, he immediately chose to use it.
[Usage successful, items obtained:]
[Tier Fourteen Law Crystal Stone x10]
[Tier Thirteen Law Crystal Stone x330,000]
[Tier Twelve Law Crystal Stone x2,460,000]
...
[Royal Species Token (Frost Dragon King) x1]
[Extraordinary Level Species Token (Random) x8]
[Legendary-level Species Token (Random) x22]
...
[Royal Race Species Token Fragment x1]
[Extraordinary Level Species Token Fragment x3]
...
!!!
Royal Species Token!
Hearing a series of prompts echoing in his mind, Lin You’s heart beat fiercely.
He quickly clicked on his personal space for a glance, and indeed found a purple-gold species token lying inside, engraved with a menacing dragon head and frost imprint.
[Species Token: Frost Dragon King (Beast Type)]
[Species Potential: Royal Family]
[Introduction: Consume the token to recruit the beast type royal species "Frost Dragon King", level matching the territory.]
[Usage Requirements: Territory Core (Beast Type), Tier Twelve Crystal Stone x10000, Tier Thirteen Crystal Stone x100, Tier Fourteen Crystal Stone x1, Extraordinary Level Dragon Species x1]
"We’re rich now!"
Lin You was overjoyed, having never expected that the other party would carry a royal token on them, much less a beast type one.
It seems that after obtaining this token, the other party hadn’t had the chance to convert it into a humanoid type, so they temporarily carried it with them.
This was also his first time seeing a royal species token with his own eyes.
Not only did it look more majestic and domineering, but its usage requirements were also much more stringent.
And, as the rumors said, the royal token is a one-time use; each token can only recruit one royal species.
Fortunately for him, the other party hadn’t used all of the Tier Fourteen Crystal Stones for recruiting species, and had left 10, just enough for him to upgrade a few royals and the territory, without having to worry about lacking high-tier combat power after becoming a Celestial God.
As for the remaining royals, he’ll have to find a way later.
After all, Tier Fourteen Crystal Stones are definitely considered scarce, and obtaining more isn’t going to be easy.
In comparison, the stones below Tier Fourteen are much more abundant.
Tier Thirteen: 330,000, Tier Twelve: 2,460,000, almost equalling the combined total of twenty True Gods they had previously slain!
This treasure trove of resources is enough for them to produce several more True Gods.
Truly, this came at a perfect time.
Not to mention the remaining Extraordinary Tokens and Legendary Tokens, all of which are precious and rare resources, just right for enhancing their strength in the Ten Thousand Realms.
Once the number of high-tier lords increases, he won’t have to fight alone, facing so many enemies by himself.
"Let’s go, we’ll talk after leaving this place first."
After double-checking the items and species losses, Lin You didn’t linger in the trial space and directly chose to teleport out.
Then, in a flash of light, he and the species disappeared from the spot, teleported outside.
Meanwhile.
A prompt suddenly echoed in the minds of all lords.
[Attention all lords, the trial of the Central Hall has been cleared, the path to the Main Hall is now open.]
[Clearing the final trial in the Main Hall will grant substantial upgrade rewards and the qualification to inherit the Main God’s Position.]
[Current number of entrants to the Main Hall: 1]
...
...
All the lords participating in the trials were stunned for a moment.
Then an uproar ensued, plunging everything into chaos.
"The final trial has started!?"
"That was way too fast!"
"I haven’t even passed the second phase yet."
"Could it be those Lower Realm Lords who entered early?"
"Impossible! It must be the Divine Children who passed first!"
"We can’t go on like this, we need to get to the Main Hall quickly!"
The news of the final trial’s commencement was like a depth charge, further stirring up the muddled waters of the Divine Hall of Origin.
The lords who initially pondered steady progress were now becoming anxious, hastening through the trials towards the Main Hall.
The Divine Children at the forefront, armed with some insider information, had already begun entering the fourth trial.
However, unlike Lin You, their trial content involved only facing hunting from 10 lords of the same level, without intervention from Celestial Gods.
Given their strength, they might not take long to clear the trials and enter the Main Hall.
If Lin You knew this piece of information, he would probably be furious.
Although the trial’s difficulty is classified based on the participant’s strength, the gap between Celestial Gods and True Gods is quite large, seemingly making it impossible for him to pass.
Fortunately, he excelled.
Not only did he clear the trials, but he also successfully killed the opposing side.
When the teleportation light faded, he found himself standing before a long staircase.
At the top of the stairs stood a golden palace enshrouded in clouds, akin to a Divine Hall of Void, solemn and sacred, commanding awe and respect.
Standing on the pinnacle of the clouds, he could feel a gentle breeze caressing him, lifting his spirits, as if his injuries had healed significantly.
"So, this is the true Divine Hall of Origin?"
Lin You murmured to himself, seemingly summoned by something, subconsciously taking steps up the stairs, embarking on this path to ascension.
As he progressed, the shadow of the World Tree appeared behind him, gradually growing and solidifying.
"Does the meaning of life exist?"
"Is death the end or a beginning?"
Suddenly, a mystical voice echoed, reverberating within and outside the entire palace.
"Who!?"
Lin You exclaimed, immediately halting, waking up from the mystical state he had just been in.
He looked around but didn’t see a single figure or sense any presence of life.
There was only the voice echoing, real yet illusory, repeating the two questions as if demanding an answer from him.
Could this be the content of the final trial...?
Thinking of this, Lin You furrowed his brows in deep thought.
The meaning of life, and the start and end of death, what do these two statements want to convey, perhaps something related to the Main God’s Position?
He faintly felt that his answer might determine whether he would receive upgrade resources or the qualification to inherit the Main God’s Position!
More surprisingly to him, when he tried to move forward again, he found himself unable to lift his foot.
It was as if an invisible force was suppressing him, and the voice became increasingly clear, like a haunting melody filling his ears.
Clearly.
Without answering these two questions, he would not be able to proceed further, let alone enter the Divine Hall.
