Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 1479 - 632: The Astonishing Heavenly God Trial

The day of the "Heavenly God Trial." Outside the Capital, by Lake Crimson-Purple.

The sky was a sapphire blue, without a trace of cloud.

Qiu Tu, Zhao Ji, Candle Dance, and Qing Lan stood quietly on the shore of Lake Crimson-Purple, waiting in silence.

As he looked at the other three women, Qiu Tu made his final confirmations, "Sister Zhao Ji, I remember you said the method of the 'Heavenly God Trial' changes every time."

"But in general, it's divided into two parts—'Preselection' and 'Trial.'"

"The former determines the scope of 'Trial' 'Candidates.' The latter decides the ultimate ownership of the 'Heavenly God Positional Frame.'"

"And the confirmation of 'Candidate' qualification comes from... this 'Heavenly Turtle Shell,' right?"

Saying this, Qiu Tu opened his hand. Resting quietly in his palm was a golden turtle shell, the size of a baby's fist. It gleamed beneath the sunlight.

As he stretched out his hand, Candle Dance and Qing Lan did the same, each holding an identical turtle shell in their palms.

Zhao Ji was the only one who didn't reach out; she stood like an ice mountain, gazing at Lake Crimson-Purple in the distance.

The lake was like a massive mirror, reflecting the azure sky above. Sunlight danced on the surface, sparkling as if countless fragmented diamonds leapt and flickered upon the water.

Compared to the grey and hazy real world, everything in the 'Boundless Heart Sea' appeared far cleaner. Brand new, as if untouched by pollution.

Withdrawing her gaze, Zhao Ji gave a quiet "Mm," and then said, "There are two ways to qualify as a candidate for the 'Heavenly God Trial.' The first is as an 'Initiator.'"

"When a living being hands over the remains of an Eighth-level God to a 'Sky-connecting One,' they automatically gain the status of 'Initiator.'"

"After becoming an 'Initiator,' one becomes a candidate for the Heavenly God Trial, and receives three pieces of the 'Heavenly Turtle Shell.'"

"The quota for 'Initiators' cannot be transferred, and must participate in the 'Heavenly God Trial.'"

"But the 'Heavenly Turtle Shell' itself can be given away or transferred. If you're holding a 'Heavenly Turtle Shell' at the final moment before the trial begins, you'll automatically qualify as a candidate and be teleported to the Trial Area."

"So, in the past, many would snatch the 'Heavenly Turtle Shell' in order to claim a place in the final trial..."

She paused here, then said coldly, "However, since the 'Heavenly Turtle Shell' can be transferred, each 'Candidate' is considered independent."

"This means all 'Candidates' are sent to random locations when teleported—not as teams."

"So, after the 'Trial' starts, the first thing we need to do is regroup."

Saying this, her golden eyes swept over the three coldly. She said, "I've already planted the 'Divine Mark' on each of you."

"As long as there's no 'World Barrier Level' obstruction, we'll be able to sense each other's location."

"And generally, the area for the 'Heavenly God Trial' is not too large. Whether in the Northwestern Region or Southwestern Region, we should be able to regroup quickly."

Of the four, it was clear Zhao Ji was the leader. So when they heard her explanation and plans, everyone nodded slightly and agreed.

After Zhao Ji finished, Qiu Tu glanced at Qing Lan and Candle Dance, and continued, "According to Sister Zhao Ji's experience, the 'Heavenly God Trial' usually has four types."

"Puzzle-solving, mystic realm, slaughter, and... divine battle."

"Of these four, only the last requires all candidates to fight directly, to select the final victor; the other three allow for leveraging advantages and teamwork to accomplish the goal."

"For those like us who control the 'Northwestern Region,' and have influence in the 'Southwestern Region,' this is a huge advantage."

"But..." Qiu Tu paused, then said, "As for the details, we'll have to wait until the 'Trial' formally begins. Once we've regrouped and learned the specific format of this 'Heavenly God Trial,' we can decide our strategy."

After Qiu Tu spoke, Zhao Ji glanced at the irreverent Candle Dance, then said, "It's easy to find out the specific format and details of the 'Heavenly God Trial.'"

"Once the 'Trial' begins, simply use your own 'World Official Position' to communicate with the 'World Origin.'"

"Just like every time we advance, in the unseen, we'll receive the relevant information from the 'World Origin.' By then, we'll know all the specifics."

Just like that, the two discussed all aspects of the 'Heavenly God Trial' once again.

Zhao Ji and Candle Dance were both 'Heavenly God Reincarnations,' so they were familiar with the 'Heavenly God Trial.'

The ones unfamiliar with the 'Heavenly God Trial' were Qiu Tu and Qing Lan.

Thus, before the trial began, Qiu Tu talked it through again—allowing Qing Lan to review, and filling in gaps for himself as well.

After their discussion, the lakeshore lapsed into silence. The four quietly waited for the 'Heavenly God Trial' to begin.

But for some unknown reason, this time the 'Heavenly God Trial' seemed to be starting later than usual.

No one knew how long they waited—maybe an hour, maybe two or three.

Just when the four were about to succumb to boredom, suddenly, in the heavens above, the once sapphire sky abruptly changed color. Heavy clouds surged in from all directions, like angry waves!
