Chapter 4138: The Rules of the Trials of G.o.ds

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At this time, Duan Ling Tian was in the Inner Palace faction’s independent realm so he did not hear the announcement in the Myriad Laws Academy.

Fortunately, Yang Yu Chen returned to the independent realm and told Duan Ling Tian to go to the central square tomorrow at noon.

“Third Senior Brother, we’ll be going in immediately tomorrow?”

Yang Yu Chen smiled and nodded. “That’s right. The Trial of G.o.ds begins tomorrow.” His smile gradually disappeared as he said seriously, “Junior brother, don’t trust anyone after entering the Trial of G.o.ds. Even if you meet Fourth Junior Sister in there, don’t trust that it’s her until you confirm it thoroughly. If you die in the Trial of G.o.ds, you die for real. It doesn’t matter if your appearance isn’t your own in there. Although the fortuitous encounters and treasures in there are important, your life is the most important.The Trial of G.o.ds will last for three years. Just wander around and look for treasures and fortuitous encounters. If you encounter those who stand in your way, there’s no need to hold back. Just kill them. Most of them aren’t students like you; they’re illusions conjured by the supreme powerhouses using certain methods. They’re incredibly lifelike; it’d be impossible for you to tell if they’re an illusion. These illusions aren’t just limited to humans, they could be anything. Even the world in there is an illusion. In short, be extra careful when you’re there.”

Yang Yu Chen was very patient and sincere when explaining everything to Duan Ling Tian.

!!

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian’s heart was slightly shaken upon hearing Yang Yu Chen’s words. He had learned from Yang Yu Chen previously that his appearance would change once he entered the Trial of G.o.ds, but he had no idea about the illusions. The illusions were not only of humans, but also other beings. Most importantly, it was impossible for him to discern if they were illusions or not.

‘This means that I have to guard against everyone I meet there. I won’t be able to tell if they are students like me or illusions conjured by the supreme powerhouses…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself before he looked at Yang Yu Chen and asked, “Third Senior Brother, when I went out with Fourth Senior Sister previously, I heard that we’ll be rewarded accordingly if we kill someone in the Trial of G.o.ds. Is that true?”

Yang Yu Chen nodded. “That’s right. This is true for both illusions and other people. However, most of the ‘people’ you meet will be illusions. The supreme powerhouses will reward you accordingly when you kill. When you’re rewarded, a strange phenomenon would appear as well…”

After a pause, Yang Yu Chen continued to say, “In fact, it’s not just students who will be rewarded. If those illusions successfully kill another person, they’ll also be rewarded. These illusions aren’t like normal illusions. To them, they have souls and bodies, and they feel like they have autonomy. They’re under the a.s.sumption that they were born in the Trial of G.o.ds…”

Duan Ling Tian’s heart shook slightly again upon hearing Yang Yu Chen’s words. At the same time, he was very curious about those ‘people’ in the Trial of G.o.ds.

“You only have three years there… After three years, if you’re alive, you’ll be automatically sent out of the Trial of G.o.ds,” Yang Yu Chen said.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian suddenly recalled something. “Third Senior Brother, wouldn’t it be easier for you if you summon Fourth Senior Sister here so we can listen to you at the same time?”

It was only at this moment that Duan Ling Tian remembered that Lang Chun Yuan would also be entering the Trial of G.o.ds. He had learned a lot from Yang Yu Chen so he felt that Lang Chun Yuan should be present as well.

Yang Yu Chen shook his head and said, “She understands the Trial of G.o.ds better than you do. That girl was curious about everything when she first came here. When she heard Eldest Senior Sister and me talking about the Trial of G.o.ds, she pestered Eldest Senior Sister to tell her about the Trial of G.o.ds.”

Duan Ling Tian could see the unconcealable respect in Yang Yu Chen’s eyes whenever Yang Yu Chen spoke about their Eldest Senior Sister. This made him even more curious about what kind of person their Eldest Senior Sister was.

“You’re fortunate you didn’t ask that girl about the Trial of G.o.ds. She must have also thought that I’d briefed you about it. Otherwise, she would pester you and talk to you about it for days,” Yang Yu Chen said with a hint of helplessness, “In any case, there’s not much else for me to tell you about the Trial of G.o.ds. The environment there changes every time it opens so there’s no use talking about it. Moreover, your knowledge of it might affect you when you enter it. For example, if you encounter situations that you’ve heard about and you react according to what you heard to survive, it doesn’t guarantee your survival and can even lead to your death.”

Duan Ling Tian listened to Yang Yu Chen attentively. He grew more and more vigilant the more he heard.

The Trial of G.o.ds was truly fraught with danger. One could only trust and rely on oneself there.

After all, there was no way for one to tell if the other party was sincere or if the other party was only looking for a chance to kill to be rewarded by the Trials of G.o.ds.

The Trial of G.o.ds was created by a few supreme powerhouses. Needless to say, everything in the Trial of G.o.ds was also created or prepared by them. The rule to reward killing was one of the rules they set for the Trial of G.o.ds.

‘It’s a little similar to the games we played on Earth in my previous life. Everyone roams in the world of the game, hiding their true ident.i.ties. However, you can be resurrected in the game if you die. Even if you can’t be resurrected, it won’t affect your real self. On the contrary, you’ll die for real if you die in the Trial of G.o.ds. Three years… Can I really improve significantly in such a short time?’

Duan Ling Tian hoped to stabilize his cultivation base in the realm of an advanced Lord of G.o.ds and break through to the realm of an Emperor of G.o.ds in the Trial of G.o.ds. After all, Yang Yu Chen had told him that this feat was not impossible as long as his luck was not particularly bad.

‘Third Senior Brother has been in the Trial of G.o.ds so I trust his words… I really hope I can break through and become an Emperor of G.o.ds in three years…’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

Duan Ling Tian did not have much time left. Previously, he had about two hundred years. However, after spending about 100 years in the Myriad Laws Academy, he now only had about 100 years left.

‘Ke’er might be trapped in the Realm Battlefield so she might not be in the Divine Offering Land now… I can’t be complacent. It’s unacceptable for me to not have enough strength to go to the Divine Offering Land. Even if Ke’er isn’t in the Divine Offering Land now, she might still run into trouble on the Realm Battlefield. Fortunately, when time’s up, those who survive will be sent out of the Realm Battlefield. However, at that time, she’ll also be forcibly sent back to the Divine Offering Land…’

Duan Ling Tian’s heart naturally grew heavy when he thought about this. He only had about 100 years left, but he was just an advanced Lord of G.o.ds. If he did not take any shortcuts, how could he become an Emperor of G.o.ds and continue to grow stronger in a short time?

…

The next day.

When it was almost noon, Duan Ling Tian and Lang Chun Yuan left the Inner Palace faction’s independent realm and made their way to the central square in the Myriad Laws Academy. Previously, he had brought her to the central square as well. It was also at that time that she grew annoyed at being watched by the huge number of people who gathered.

“Junior brother, let’s come up with a codeword so we can recognize each other in there. We can send a Voice Transmission to people we encounter. If I reply with the correct code word, then you’ll know it’s me and vice versa…”

Duan Ling Tian was slightly surprised by Lang Chun Yuan’s suggestion. He found her intention reasonable, but he thought the idea was unrealistic. Hence, he said, “Fourth Senior Sister, it’s truly useful if we can recognize each other. However, it doesn’t make sense to send a Voice Transmission to every person we encounter, right?”

It would be strange to say the code word to every person he met.

Moreover, he still did not know what he would encounter inside. When the students entered the Trial of G.o.ds, their appearances would change, and the changes in appearances were not limited to that of humans. Most would still be humans, but they could also be transformed into monsters, plants, or even stones. Apart from that, there were the other beings or illusions conjured by the supreme powerhouses. It was rather diverse in the Trial of G.o.ds.

“You’re right. Then, what should we do, junior brother?” Lang Chun Yuan asked Duan Ling Tian. However, she did not wait for his reply before she continued to say, “Perhaps, we can wear a specific item on our bodies? If we see someone with the items, we can say the code word through Voice Transmission. With both correct items and code words, there’s no way for us to get it wrong…”

After she finished speaking, her eyes shone brightly. It was as though she was in awe of her own intelligence.

However, Duan Ling Tian shook his head and said mercilessly, “This idea isn’t bad, but what if our appearances aren’t of humans after going in? If we’re monsters or plants, won’t it be strange to wear human items?”

Lang Chun Yuan smiled and said, “It’s not strange? Who says monsters or plants can’t wear human items? I like to hang my spoils for everyone to see! What’s wrong with that?”

Duan Ling Tian was rendered speechless by her words. However, at the same time, he also thought that her words actually… made some sense.
