On the day of the "God Trial", on the outskirts of Sandu City - Jiangzi Lake.
The sky was as blue as a gem, without a trace of white clouds.
Qiu Tu, Ji, Zhu Wu and Qing Lan stood by the Jiangzi Lake, waiting quietly.
Looking at the other three women, Qiu Tu was also doing the final confirmation work, "Sister Kenji, I remember you said that every "God Trial" method is different."
"But generally speaking, it is divided into two parts, "shortlisted" and "trial"."
"The former is to determine the scope of "candidates" for the "trial". The latter is to determine the final "god personality"
belonging."
"And the confirmation of the qualifications of the "candidate" is...this "Tortle Shell"?"
Having said this, Qiu Tu spread out his hand. In his hand lay a piece of golden tortoise shell the size of a baby's fist, shining brightly in the sun.
As he stretched out his hand, Zhu Wu and Qing Lan also stretched out their hands, and in their hands lay an identical piece of tortoise shell.
Ji, the only one who didn't reach out, was looking at the Jiangzi Lake not far away like an iceberg.
The lake is like a huge mirror, reflecting the blue sky. The lake water sparkles under the sunlight, like countless fine diamonds jumping and shining on the water.
Compared with the gray real world, everything in the "Boundless Heart Sea" looks cleaner. It looks brand new and uncontaminated.
Withdrawing his light, Ji said a faint "Hmm", and then said, "There are two types of candidates for the 'God Trial'. The first one is the 'initiator'."
"When a living being hands over the remains of an eighth-level god to the Heaven-Bearing One, it will automatically obtain the qualification of the Initiator."
"After becoming an "initiator", you will automatically become a "candidate" for the God Trial, and you will get three pieces of "Tiantian Tortoise Shell"."
"The quota of the "Initiator" cannot be transferred, and you must participate in the "Trial of the Gods"."
"But the "Belling Turtle Shell" can be given or transferred. When you hold the "Babeling Turtle Shell" until the last moment of the trial, you will automatically obtain the candidate qualification and be teleported to the trial area."
"So, in the past, many people would snatch the "Tiantian Tortoise Shell" to obtain the final trial quota...
2
Having said this, she paused, and then said coldly, "However, precisely because the 'Tiantian Tortoise Shell' can be transferred, each 'candidate' is independent."
"This also results in that the places where all the "candidates" are teleported are completely random, and they will not act according to the team."
"So, when the 'trial' begins, the first thing we have to do is to gather together."
Speaking of this, she glanced at the three of them with cold golden eyes and said, "I have planted the "Mark of the Gods" on your hands."
"As long as there is no "world barrier level" barrier, we can all sense each other's location."
"Generally speaking, the area of ​​the "Trial of the Gods" is not too big. Whether it is in the "Northwestern Region" or the "Southwestern Region", we should be able to meet up quickly."
Among the four people, Ying Ji was obviously the most respected, so after hearing her explanation and arrangement, they all nodded slightly and agreed.
After Ji finished speaking, Qiu Tu also glanced at Qing Lan and Zhu Wu, and continued, "According to Sister Ji's experience, generally speaking, there are four main types of 'God Trials'."
"Solving puzzles, secret realms, killing, and...\n...fighting gods."
"Among these four types, except for the last one, where all candidates directly compete head-on to select the final winner: the other three can all be achieved by taking advantage of opportunities or teamwork."
"This is a great advantage for us, who own the "Northwestern Region" and also have a certain influence on the "Southwestern Region."
"But...\n." Having said this, Qiu Tu paused and said, "How to operate specifically? We still need to wait for the "trial" to officially start. Let's meet up and learn about this "God Trial"
"The specific method will be discussed and decided later."
After Qiu Tu finished speaking, Ji glanced at Zhu Wu who was carefree, and then said, "It's very simple to know the specific method and related information of the "God Trial"."
"That is, after the "trial" begins, directly use your own "world official position" to communicate with the "origin of the world."
"Just like every time we advance, we will get relevant information from the "origin of the world". By then, we will naturally know all the details of the trial.'
In this way, the two of them talked about the "God Trial" again.
Ji is the "reincarnation of a god" and Zhuwu is also a "reincarnation of a god". In fact, they both know a lot about the "God Trial".
Qiu Tu and Qing Lan are the ones who don't understand the "God Trial".
That's why Qiu Tu would chat again before starting, so that Qinglan could review it and he could check for any gaps.
Just like that, the few people finished chatting. The lakeside quickly fell into silence. The four of them were quietly waiting for the "God Trial" to begin.
But I don’t know if there is something wrong. It seems that the “God Trial” started later this time.
I don't know how long I waited like this, maybe an hour, maybe two or three hours.
Just when the four of them were almost tired of waiting, suddenly, above the nine heavens, the originally blue and gem-like sky suddenly changed color, and thick clouds gathered from all directions like raging waves!
Immediately afterwards, the clouds were torn open by a mysterious and powerful force, and a dazzling, almost incandescent light burst out from it, sweeping towards the four people like a divine radiance!
At the same time, the golden tortoise shells in the hands of Qiu Tu and the others also shone with golden light, and then turned into golden droplets in an instant, blending into the backs of the three people's hands, forming a weird pattern!
At the same time, the strange lines slowly appeared on the back of Ji's hand.
The next second, the incandescent light suddenly disappeared! When everything returned to normal, the four people disappeared directly.::
Light, endless light.
Qiu Tu used to think that darkness seemed to be the scariest and most uncomfortable thing. But after being enveloped by that holy light, he suddenly found that the endless light seemed unbearable.
Just like that, I don't know how long it took. When Qiu Tu, with his eyes closed, felt that he could hardly stand it anymore.
A sudden whirlwind came.
The next second, Qiu Tu felt that his whole body suddenly lost weight! It was as if he had fallen directly from the sky!
Qiu Tu was startled and quickly opened his eyes. Sure enough, the sky was moving away from him at a very fast speed, and the howling wind was flying around him! In the corner of his vision, the earth was quickly approaching him!
Fortunately, the seventh-level Qiu Tu could already fly in the real world. So he turned over, adjusted his balance, then took a few steps in the void, and slowly stopped in mid-air.
Is this back to the "Northwest Region"?
After stopping in mid-air, Qiu Tu finally had time to observe his situation. As he thought,
While looking around.
As a result, he discovered that indeed... the sky where he was now turned gray-black again, and the whole world was enveloped in darkness.
And under that oppressive sky, there was a miserable scene like Abi Hell.
The black earth is criss-crossed with dry cracks, bottomless, with a faint smell of putridity extending out to the horizon.
The vast black forest of the earth is silent and ferocious. The twisted branches of the trees in the forest seem to have been repeatedly roasted by the flames. They are charred, black and cracked, and the bark peels off, revealing the terrifying appearance of charcoal inside.
"Where is this?'
Qiu Tu frowned deeply. Although he had only been trying to win the "Northwest Region" for a few months, he still had a certain understanding of various places in the "Northwest Region".
The weird area in front of him would be no less than a few thousand square kilometers based on his own estimation. Such a huge and special area will definitely be recorded and will not be missed by him.
So...:.This is not the "Northwest Region"? Could it be...:.The "Southwestern Region" was ultimately chosen for this "God Trial"?
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu's expression became a little complicated. There was a hint of relaxation and a hint of solemnity.
The reason is also very simple. If the "God Trial" finally chooses the "Southwestern Region", it means that the "Northwestern Region" will not withstand this catastrophe. Then the people Qiu Tu cares about will be safe. So he will feel relaxed.
Quite a few.
And dignified...:. is because compared to the "Northwestern Region", although the "Southwestern Region" also belongs to the human camp, Qiu Tu's influence is not great. This will give him a lot less help.
"Sure enough, there is no way to have both ends of the world...
With such a silent sigh, Qiu Tu fell from the sky, then found a safe place, closed his eyes,
Prepare to communicate with the "Origin of the World" and check the information of this "God Trial".
As Qiu Tu closed his eyes, the real world slowly faded away, and deep in his soul, the enlarged "seal|" slowly appeared in his inner scene.
Holding the small seal, Qiu Tu tried to communicate with the "origin of the world".
The next second, Qiu Tu seemed to have gotten some information.
He opened his eyes, then sat next to the dead tree, silently sorting out the information he got.
For a moment, his mouth slowly opened wide, with shock written all over his face.
No wonder he was so surprised, it was entirely because the information he got was too shocking!
This "God Trial" is a very large trial. Not only are there 88 "candidates" participating, but the "trial area" is not the "Northwest Region" or the "Southwest Region", but...
..the whole "periphery"!
In other words, 88 "candidates" will compete in the four marginal areas to win the "god status"
!
In addition to the extremely large area of ​​​​this trial, this trial is not a conventional puzzle or secret realm.
Killing or divine battle. But... comprehensive judgment.
In this trial, "World Origin" will create a ranking list, and all eighty-eight "candidates" will be on the list.
As long as the catastrophic creatures in the "marginal area" are in the "edge zone", they will see this list as soon as they close their eyes.
The performance of the 88 "candidates" in this trial will affect the ranking of the list, which will be updated every other day.
On the list, there are four main measurement criteria.
The first is the overall strength of the individual.
The second is the amount of land it occupies in the four major regions and the number of creatures it controls.
The third is the number of people who killed or subdued 1 candidate.
The fourth is... the number of "Special Noble Phantasms" obtained.
According to the information obtained from the "Origin of the World", in the previous decades of the Cataclysmic Era, more than a dozen "Special Noble Phantasms" were actually born in the four edge areas.
These "special treasures" have various special effects.
Get them and you can quickly increase your ranking.
After sorting out the information obtained from the "Origin of the World", Qiu Tu was really surprised by the generosity of this "Trial of the Gods".
In the past few days, he has actually asked Mo Ji and Zhu Wu several times about the "God Trial"-related information, and also heard several examples of "God Trial". But they were all relatively small and simple.
I have never heard of such a large-scale "God Trial". As a result, I didn't expect that this time I encountered a monster when something went wrong. There was something wrong with this "God Trial"...::
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu's expression couldn't help but become a little solemn.
..
And at the same time.
Southwest region-disaster area.
Ji stood on the rooftop of a rebel building. The whole building beneath her feet was covered in blood and there were corpses everywhere.
But she was dressed in white, standing spotlessly on the rooftop. Looking expressionlessly at the anti-government armed members fleeing downstairs, Ji and Qiu Tu made the same judgment...
What's going on? How could this "God Trial" be so big?'
Across four states? Comprehensive trial? And there is also a "special Noble Phantasm"?'
‘Did something happen in the “Edge Zone”? It actually changed the “Trial of the Gods”.
Thinking this, Kenji couldn't help but look up to the north,
'The northwest and southwest regions are both areas controlled by humans. It seems that I haven't heard of anything happening.'
Could it be...:.There is a problem in the northeast or southeast region?’
Thinking like this, she couldn't help but close her eyes and sense the positions of Qiu Tu, Qing Lan and Zhu Wu.
For a moment, her expression became more grim.
Because the four people obviously had bad luck - maybe because the four major areas were too big, the four people were a little scattered.
She was alone in the "Southwest Region", and it was unclear which shelter she was near; while "Candle Dance" was in the "Northwest Region" near the 8th shelter.
As for Qiu Tu and Qing Lan, they have better luck. They are both in the "Northeast Region" and there is a certain distance between them.
If the four of them want to meet up, the shortest path is to return to the 1 Northwest Region base camp.
Go first! Northwest Territory", and then listen to Qiu Tu's analysis and see what he thinks. After all, the changes in this "trial" are too great, and all previous experiences may be invalid.'
Thinking this, Kenji tapped her toes, and the next second, she flew into the air. After staying in the air for 0.1 seconds,
Her figure flashed and then disappeared without a trace...\n.\n.
Northwest Region. Fengqi Prefecture.
Looking at the familiar scene in front of her, Zhu Wu was stunned for a while, and then she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
She didn't expect that this "God Trial" would open up four major areas in total, but she was lucky enough to randomly arrive at the base camp, which was also the most familiar place at the junction of the 7th and 8th shelters.
So in theory, she only needs to stay in the four states now, protecting the safety of Qiu Tu's territory while patiently waiting for a few people to meet up. It is extremely comfortable.
Anyway, if you have time, let’s take a look at the rankings first.
Thinking like this, she closed her eyes. The next second, a list slowly appeared in front of her.
There are names listed on the list.
The first one is called "Shaohua", the second one is called "Kabane", and the third one is called "Doris".
The fourth...:.is an acquaintance, the president of the Kirigakure Society, the eighth-level peak evil god "Apocalypse".
Zhuwu paused on the name "Shaohua" for a moment, as if she thought of something, but she was not sure.
She frowned slightly while continuing to look down. Soon, she saw "Kenji" in the 16th position.
name.
She continued to look down, Qiu Tu was in the 39th place, Qing Lan was in the 57th place, and she herself was in the 74th place.
After reading the rankings of the four people, Zhu Wu had a question mark:??
Good guy, my aunt wanted to see their jokes, but ended up becoming the joke herself?
I am actually the lowest among the four people, and even almost ranked at the bottom?
"This ranking is unreasonable!'
This ranking is quite reasonable...\n.\n.\n'At the same time, Guan Xiao and Tang Feifei of Sizhou were analyzing the ranking.
With the beginning of the "God Trial", the entire four states have also directly entered a state of war readiness.
The intelligence system discovered this ranking almost immediately and reported it.
Therefore, Guan Xiao immediately went to see Tang Feifei and invited Liu Xiongyuan, Dai Yukang and others to analyze the list.
Several people were in the conference room, typing up the rankings and analyzing them one by one.
"According to the World Origin's explanation of this list, this is the ranking of the 'God Candidates' in this 'trial'."
"The ranking is based on strength, area of ​​control area, population, etc."
"Zhuwu is the "reincarnation of a god", and her own evaluation will be much better than that at the beginning of the seventh level. But she is ranked 74
Name. This shows that the strength of the "candidates" this time should start at the mid-to-late stage of level 7."
"Although the commander's strength is also at the lowest among them, he now has the largest territory and the largest population among all the "candidates."
"This brings his ranking to 39th."
Speaking of this, Guan Xiao glanced at the people present and said, "So, how to protect the current territory of the commander has become our first priority...::"
"If we want to keep the current territory, sir, the first thing we have to do is to find out how many "candidates" have arrived in the four states, the 8th Sanctuary, and the northwest region, and what their strength and status are.
"
She said, "Based on the 88 people and the four major regions, there should be 22 people who came to our "Northwestern Region"
There are about 22 "candidates" in the rankings. This is not a small number. These are 22 great evil gods at the peak of seventh level and even eighth level.:::"
"With any one move, the 8th Sanctuary and our four states can be wiped out...:,
After listening to Guan Xiao's words, Dai Yukang adjusted his rimless glasses, and then said, "It shouldn't be difficult to determine the number of 'candidates.'"
"When these "candidates" arrive, they are accompanied by a white and red streak that penetrates the sun. The vision of heaven and earth is very conspicuous."
"As long as we exchange information with the Kou family and Princess Xi's intelligence organization, it should be clear enough+
Having said this, he paused, "But... now there is another problem."
He smiled bitterly and said, "Just before the meeting, a "candidate" of unknown strength arrived from the prefecture."
"I have asked the intelligence organization to observe from a distance. But I am not sure what the other party will do."
"We have to think about how to deal with this first wave of impact."
"What's even more troublesome is... we don't seem to have the slightest ability to challenge...
After hearing Dai Yukang's words, Tang Feifei, Guan Xiao, and Liu Xiongyuan's expressions suddenly became solemn.
Although after Qiu Tu's reminder, they knew that the gods were about to come, and that the Four States and the 8th Sanctuary would also face an impact, they really didn't expect it to be so soon...::
And when I think about the strength of these evil gods, who are at the mid-to-late seventh level at worst, their pressure becomes even greater for a while. 2
After all, apart from Qiu Tu, there is not even a seventh-level person in the entire "Northwestern Region"...\n.
Thinking like this, the figure of Qiu Tu appeared in several people's minds...\n.
Where is Qiu Tu now? What is he doing?
At the same time. Northeast region - Burning Forest.
Qiu Tu was analyzing his situation there.
I should be in the "Northeast Region" now?
A bit bad luck, but not that bad...
"Because...\n::The "Northeast Region" happens to be bordering the "Northwest Region". And the 8th Sanctuary happens to be on the border.'
"So, as long as you pass through the area passage, you can return to the base camp. It's very close."
"The only question is...: Where exactly is the regional passage?"
Thinking like this, Qiu Tu looked at the dark area in front of him in confusion, and for a moment he was a little confused as to what to do.
After all, before the trial started, he really didn't know that this "God Trial" might be held in the "Northeast Region". So he didn't collect any intelligence information about the "Northeast Region"...\n.\n
What's even more troublesome is that when he was in the "Northwest Region", he didn't pay attention to the other two "marginal areas".
He only knew that these two areas were not controlled by humans, but seemed to be controlled by some other weird races, and they had just experienced a catastrophe and were fighting against the evil gods.
"So...:.\nWhat is the situation in the "Northeast Region"? Can anyone provide me with information?'
At this moment, just as Qiu Tu was thinking this, two huge spiritual powers suddenly swept across the entire "Burning Forest" area.
Those two huge spiritual powers are extremely domineering, powerful, and obviously beyond the scope of the seventh level.
And as those two huge mental powers swept across, Qiu Tu's ears also heard the conversation of a man and a woman.
"Oriyan, I didn't expect that by such a coincidence, we would be so close by chance. It seems that God blessed me "Kirigakure"
ah...."
Chapter completed!
