Chapter 1 The Trial Begins

The people on the Silver Throne decided how to 'deal' with Shi Feng with pleasantries.

"Damn, do players have any rights?" Shi Feng muttered to himself, standing not far from the golden gate.

However, Shi Feng had no choice.

The NPCs before him were all peak experts of God's Domain. In their eyes, Shi Feng was just an ant. It was already very good of them to give him a second glance, let alone discuss things.

At this moment, a white-robed youth on the Silver Throne appeared in front of Shi Feng in an instant.

Although he was only standing in front of Shi Feng and showed no hostility, the pressure was even more intense than when he met Weissman, the governor of White River City.

This white-robed youth was Ukarus, the Star Moon Hall Master of the War God Temple, whom Shi Feng was looking for.

"Young man, we all know why you've come here. Although the seal of the Endless Abyss has been lifted, it was only a matter of time. After all, there is no eternal seal. Everything is powerless in the face of time. It's already very good that it could suppress the Endless Abyss for hundreds of years."

"Soon after, we will join forces to suppress the Endless Abyss to prevent things from escalating."

"But before we go to suppress it, we need to choose someone to collect the sealed objects. This person must be a Tian Juan Zhe (favored one of Heaven), and you happen to be one. So we decided to let you go, but first we need to see your potential. If you're not up to it, we'll have to find someone else."

The Tian Juan Zhe (favored one of Heaven) in the mouths of the NPCs all referred to players. In the NPC setting, the Tian Juan Zhe could be said to be immortal, because even if they died, they could be resurrected. They were the most suitable candidates to collect the sealed objects.

"Your test is the twelve trials set by the War God Temple since ancient times. As long as you can pass six rounds of trials, you will be considered qualified. Of course, we won't let you try for nothing. As long as you pass the first round of trials, you will be rewarded with 100 points of War God Temple Merit. The Merit awarded will double for each round you pass afterward. You can use these Merit to exchange for treasures in the War God Temple's treasure vault."

"Our War God Temple's treasure vault can be said to have the most treasures in the entire God's Domain. Ordinary Mithril-grade items cost only 200 Merit, Fine-Gold-grade items cost 500 Merit, Dark-Gold-grade items cost 1,500 Merit, Epic-grade items cost 4,000 Merit, Fragments of Legendary items cost 15,000 Merit, and Legendary-grade items cost 60,000 Merit."

"If you are strong enough, you can even exchange for Sacred Objects, but that will cost 200,000 Merit."

Ukarus explained with a smile, and Shi Feng was extremely excited.

He had to say that a Legendary main quest was indeed powerful.

The highest quality item Shi Feng had ever seen was only Legendary-grade. He had only heard of Sacred Objects and had never seen them with his own eyes. Now that he had the opportunity to see a Sacred Object, it could be considered a great gain.

Because Shi Feng knew his limitations, even Legendary items were a luxury for him, let alone Sacred Objects. Shi Feng didn't dare to think about it. He would be satisfied just to see one.

Just as Shi Feng was fantasizing about the appearance of the Sacred Object.

Ukarus chanted a spell and drew complex and profound divine runes with his fingers.

After Ukarus finished chanting, a golden gate emerged, engraved with twelve pictures. Each picture told of a cruel battle. When the gate opened with a bang, a very ancient and violent aura emanated from inside, as if a prehistoric beast lived within.

"Young man, inside is the twelve trials. Go in." Ukarus said slowly, pointing to the golden gate.

Shi Feng nodded and walked step by step into the depths of the gate, disappearing into the Eternal Throne.

"Hahaha, this little guy is really brave. That's the most brutal twelve trials of the War God Temple."

"But Ukarus, you are a real bad person, actually tempting that poor little guy like that, only talking about the generous rewards, but not the punishment after death."

"The Merit for a Sacred Object, I, this old man, haven't saved enough even after a lifetime. You really dare to say that. To get a Sacred Object, you have to pass at least the eleventh trial. But since the War God Temple was established, only one person has passed the eleventh trial from ancient times until now. That person was a great god who saved the entire continent."

"I have read many ancient books about the twelve trials. According to the information in the ancient books, most of the people who participated in the trials only passed three or four rounds of trials. Those who can pass the sixth round of trials are as rare as phoenix feathers. Ukarus, your requirement is really not ordinary."

"Collecting the Seven Treasures is of great importance. How can we gather them without enough strength? Besides, we don't have that much spare power to waste on a weak ant."

Just as the people on the Silver Throne were discussing, one of the nine people sitting on the Golden Throne finally spoke.

"Let's just decide on this matter. As Ukarus said, the old monsters in the Endless Abyss are restless. We can't waste everyone's power on a weakling. If he can pass the sixth round of trials, I will help him too."

"Yes, as you command."

The people sitting on the Silver Throne were all surprised when they heard the adult on the Golden Throne speak.

They didn't expect this adult to take action. This was a good thing that they couldn't even ask for.

Then Ukarus waved his hand, and a water screen appeared in the air of the Eternal Throne. The scene inside was the first trial that Shi Feng was about to face.

The place where Shi Feng was was the top of a cliff. Except for a flat area with a radius of more than a hundred yards, all around were cliffs ten thousand zhang (丈, ~3.3 meters) high. In addition, the wind here was extremely strong, and one could be blown away accidentally and fall into the abyss.

Shi Feng stood quietly on the flat ground paved with stone slabs, and immediately realized that in addition to weapons and equipment, no other auxiliary props could be used.

The original combat weapon, Frost Grenade, could only lie quietly in the backpack, and the prepared magic scrolls were also unusable. Even recovery potions were the same, which greatly reduced Shi Feng's field combat strength.

"It seems like they want to test my pure combat strength. I wonder who my opponent is?" Shi Feng looked around and found that there were no monsters, and he was a little puzzled. "Could it be that the monsters are invisible?"

Thinking of this, Shi Feng maximized his five senses.

It was not uncommon for monsters to be invisible. Powerful monsters could even teleport multiple times in a row, which was truly amazing.

In the Eternal Throne, the big shots of God's Domain were also very interested in paying attention to this trial.

After all, the twelve trials had not been opened for thousands of years. None of the people on the Silver Throne had lived that long, so they were naturally very curious about the twelve trials.

"I wonder who the opponent in the first round is?"

"There is no record of this in the ancient books, but I heard that the creatures of the twelve trials are all ancient ferocious beasts, extremely fierce. But this is the first round of trials. The little guy is not even a Tier 1 Swordsman, so the monster's strength should barely reach the Tier 1 level."

"Look, something is flying over."
