Chapter 726 - 720: The Sinister Trial

Chapter 726: Chapter 720: The Sinister Trial

"This is the new military unit I just obtained."

Seeing Lin You’s reaction, Ji Yunshuang’s eyes curved into crescents, and a rare look of pride appeared on her face.

"New military unit?"

Lin You curiously examined the attributes of the unit.

The next second, he was instantly stunned.

[Name: Guardian Fallen Angel (Royal Family)]

[Race: Angel (Hero)]

[Level: Tier Twelve (Level 8 Quasi-God)]

[Power: 8.4 million]

[Constitution: 9 million]

[Agility: 8.8 million]

[Spirit: 9 million]

[Skills: Wall of Protection, Life Devouring, Extremely Dark Celestial Curtain, Light and Dark Reincarnation]

[Dark Fallen Angel: All Fallen Angel attacks carry a curse, ignore 10% of enemy defenses, and reduce healing effects received by 10%.]

[Introduction: Angels who willingly fall, forsaking the Power of Holy Light, embracing the darkness to awaken terrifying curse powers.]

Royal Species!

Looking at the interface before him, Lin You was shocked beyond words.

How long has it been? And already obtained a Royal Species.

Moreover, due to his relatively high level, he could examine all the information about this species, immediately taken aback by it.

Both Constitution and Spirit are maxed out, similar to the Fallen Angel he once encountered in the Ten Thousand Realms.

Most importantly, the level skyrocketed from the original Level 5 Quasi-God to Level 8 Quasi-God.

Seems Ji Yunshuang garnered quite a harvest in the first two trials.

"This unit evolved from the Extraordinary Species you gave me." Ji Yunshuang explained timely, "During the first trial, I awakened a new territory ability where all summoned Holy Angels will automatically transform into Fallen Angels."

She did not conceal anything from Lin You, revealing the awakened ability completely.

After listening, Lin You was utterly astonished as well.

"Automatically transform? Doesn’t that mean the skills will change too?"

"Yes, healing effects are reduced by 200%, and all beneficial effects turn into curse negative effects."

"So powerful?"

Lin You was secretly amazed.

Healing effects reduced by two-fold, not merely decreasing the healing amount, but converting your healing capability into damage capability.

Take his Flower Spirit’s Breath of Nature single-target healing skill for example.

Restores the specified target’s health by an amount equivalent to 20% of his own Spirit.

Reduced by two-fold means decreased by 40%, turning into a negative 20%, transforming into a damage skill.

Moreover, healing skills directly restore the target’s health, unaffected by defense.

This means that the damage completely ignores defense!

All healing skill effects reduced by 200%, meaning they all become defense-ignoring damage skills?

Although the healing skill bonus ratios are generally not high, Lin You was still startled by the conclusion.

Because he remembers Ji Yunshuang possessing several healing skills that can restore 100% health...

Let alone those beneficial effects turning into curse skills.

"What do you think, isn’t my new ability impressive?" Ji Yunshuang said proudly.

"Indeed impressive." Lin You nodded earnestly.

Though losing healing and beneficial abilities, it greatly enhances offensive capabilities, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing for Ji Yunshuang.

Coupled with the higher potential of Royal Family allowing her attributes to overpower other Lords lacking Royal Species, survival is now assured.

It won’t take long before she becomes a major peak combat force within their Ten Thousand Realms base.

"Alright, let’s not talk about this for now, the trial isn’t over."

After sharing the joy in her heart, Ji Yunshuang did not waste any more time and refocused her attention on the trial.

Lin You’s face turned solemn at her words.

Thinking about how other Lords might have already entered the Divine Hall of Origin, he swiftly shifted topics, asking: "Do you have any clues for the third trial?"

"A bit." Ji Yunshuang nodded, "I was just transported into a peculiar space, witnessing the entire birth process of the Divine Realm."

"If I’m not mistaken, this world originally had ten main gods, or rather, can only have ten main gods."

Previously, just like Lin You, she experienced the Divine Realm’s birth process, personally witnessing the rise of Lords and that earth-shaking war spanning the entire Divine Realm.

"Only ten main gods..."

Lin You murmured softly, deep in thought.

Upon seeing those ten powers of creation descend earlier, he had similar speculation, hearing Ji Yunshuang remark further confirmed his hypothesis.

Those powers, each represented a divine position.

Only when the previous generation of main gods fall can others obtain that power and become new main gods.

But the problem is.

Even counting the recently fallen one, the known main gods in the Divine Realm are merely the four rulers of the Four Great Divine Kingdoms, far from ten.

"Could it be possible that the Demon Lord from the Eastern Extreme Demon Realm is actually one of the ’main gods’?"

Ji Yunshuang suddenly spoke up.

Demon Lord, actually a main god?

Lin You was secretly taken aback, as if grasping something, his brows furrowed instantly.

This might be the key to the upcoming third trial!

Unfortunately, however.

Their understanding of the world beyond the Eastern Divine Domain remains too limited, even in the Eastern Extreme Demon Realm they are in, many secrets are yet to be discovered.

Just with this bit of information, there’s no way to make any worthwhile deduction.

"There is indeed such a possibility," Lin You quietly said, "but what we know is too little, and I’m unsure if it will be helpful for the upcoming trials."

"Anyway, let’s keep moving forward; the sounds of fighting outside have already ceased. I suspect those Lords will be coming soon."

"Hmm, let’s take it one step at a time."

Saying this, the two stopped wasting time and turned to look to the side.

Only at this moment did Lin You finally take note of the surroundings.

The circular platform they were on was covered in mist.

Faintly, they could see ten majestic figures looming at the edge of the platform, seemingly overlooking all beings.

Beside each figure, there was a stone path stretching into the mist, leading to some unknown destination.

It seemed they had to make a choice.

If they chose incorrectly, they might miss out on the divine position, or even face danger.

"Over there!"

Suddenly, Lin You’s gaze locked onto one of the towering figures and he resolutely walked over.

"Are you sure?" Ji Yunshuang asked in surprise.

She couldn’t differentiate between the figures in the space with Lin You, and the mist shrouded her perceptions further.

After all, this was a matter concerning the contention for the divine position.

"It shouldn’t be wrong," Lin You said confidently, "I felt a very familiar aura from him; it might be our Main God of Ten Thousand Realms."

"And as you mentioned earlier, the divine position only becomes vacant when the previous Main God falls, so there’s only one outcome: this path leads to the divine position!"

Due to Lin You possessing the World Core of the Main God World, he formed some strange connection with the Main God of Ten Thousand Realms, allowing him to clearly perceive the differences between these ten figures.

This might be the breakthrough clues that the strange space had just provided, serving as a hint for them.

"The Main God of Ten Thousand Realms?"

Ji Yunshuang glanced at that towering figure, sensing no difference whatsoever.

But trusting Lin You, she still followed him, stepping onto the path together, disappearing into the mist.

[Congratulations on successfully unlocking the third stage of the Divine Trial: Origins of the Gods]

[Please continue forward, find the path to the Central Hall, and entering the Central Hall means successful completion of the trial.]

Indeed...

Upon hearing the prompt in his mind, Lin You secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He wasn’t a hundred percent confident in proving he was right; he merely chose the most likely answer.

Fortunately, his choice wasn’t wrong, as this path indeed led to the next stage.

Turning back to look behind, he found the path they arrived on had completely disappeared.

In other words, once a choice was made, there would be no way back, no chance to reconsider.

"You actually chose correctly!"

Ji Yunshuang marveled, unable to understand how Lin You could so quickly arrive at the correct answer, making her regard him with peculiar eyes.

Back in the Ten Thousand Realms, she often heard people say Lin You was blessed by fortune, topics about being an illegitimate child of the Main God.

Now, able to instantly find the correct direction toward their Main God of Ten Thousand Realms, led her to suspect the truth of these rumors.

If Lin You knew her thoughts, he’d probably feel helplessly amused.

There were indeed illegitimate children of the Main God in the Ten Thousand Realms, but he wasn’t one of them.

"I was merely guessing; let’s first focus on getting through this place," Lin You decided not to dwell on the matter, summoning several Royal Species to his side, beginning to examine the surroundings.

Their current location was a wide road, with an end nowhere in sight.

All around was enveloped in mist, obstructing vision and perception, only vaguely visible were shadows wandering to and fro.

"Should we try and see what’s in this mist?" Ji Yunshuang asked.

On this journey, they’d deeply felt the uncanny nature of the Divine Hall of Origin’s trial, defying common logic.

If this road was a dead end, and the surrounding mist was the exit, then they wouldn’t need to waste effort searching everywhere.

"Sure, let me try," Lin You said while summoning a Reproduction Species to his side, sending it into the mist.

"Roar!!"

Suddenly, a roar sounded.

No sooner had the Reproduction Species entered the mist than Lin You lost all contact with it; it vanished.

It died!

And it was instantly killed!

Not just Lin You, but even Ji Yunshuang’s face changed.

She knew well how strong Lin You’s Extraordinary Species were, and for it to be instantly killed showed what their fate would be upon entering.

"It seems we can only follow the prompt and proceed down this road."

Lin You took a deep breath, relieved that he had sent a Split body just now, avoiding the waste of an Extraordinary Species.

"Let’s go then," Ji Yunshuang said, still shaken.

Then, the two didn’t linger, continuing along the path, remaining cautious.

All around was silent, the only sounds were their footsteps and breathing.

Ji Yunshuang glanced at the tall figure walking ahead, and his calm side profile, suddenly feeling at ease.

"We haven’t fought side by side like this for a long time, have we?"

She quietly said, her voice echoing down the road.

But the response was only silence.

At some point, only her own footsteps and breathing sounds remained around her.
