Chapter 498: 223. Darkness, transforming into the Void
“Remember, although the three worlds have no time limit, after twenty-four days, the Star Divine Trial will end, and the points will be calculated directly by then.”
After the white-haired, black-robed woman gave a final reminder, she disappeared from the spot.
In the vast square, only a few hundred trialists and those three quietly rotating space portals remained.
“Lin Qing, which world’s trial will you take first?” Duoluo Cha asked via telepathy.
“Doesn’t matter which one I choose first,” Lin Qing replied via telepathy.
“It’s still somewhat different.”
Duoluo Cha said, “These three worlds were clearly modified. Compared to those natural cosmic wonders, the various void mysteries involved in these three worlds are more superficial and easier to comprehend, especially the Dark World. It blocks your other senses, allowing you to only rely on Void Sensing, making your perception of the void more pure and direct. It’s obviously an excellent environment for comprehending the void.”
He sighed, “Such an environment closer to the void can only be found in the Divine Position Land, which is why so many people participate in the Star Divine Trial even though they know they have no hope of becoming a Star God.”
“But the Dark World is also the most dangerous one,” Lin Qing said.
“Indeed.” Duoluo Cha nodded, sighing, “In a situation where you can’t perceive anything, those monsters in the dark, especially those with Star Abyss Tenth Layer strength, can easily kill you.”
He couldn’t help shaking his head and said, “It would be great if there was no danger. First train your perception of the void in the Dark World, then go to the Mirror Image World and River World; your Void Accomplishment would surely be greatly enhanced.”
Lin Qing was somewhat contemplative.
“With your strength, Lin Qing, you indeed can do this.”
Duoluo Cha said somewhat enviously, “Although the Dark World can’t replenish energy, with your strength, as long as you maintain defense, you can still hold on for a long time before your energy runs out.”
He said helplessly, “But for those of us without enough strength, we have no choice but to start from the safe Tianhe World to improve our Void Accomplishment. Then train in the Mirror Image World before finally going to the Dark World.”
Lin Qing understood his meaning.
These three worlds, the danger level and the help they provide for the void, are inversely proportional.
The most dangerous Dark World offers the greatest aid for the void, but you can’t stay long if you’re not strong enough.
The safest Tianhe World offers the least help, more for training and validation purposes.
“If that’s the case, then I’ll start with the Dark World…”
Lin Qing made a decision in his heart and immediately said, “I’ll head in first.”
“Go on, go on.” Duoluo Cha nodded slightly, helplessly.
In the Five Origin Sea Civilization, he is considered an unparalleled genius, not only mastering a Combined Divine Skill but also possessing a very powerful secret technique, with strength at the Star Abyss Ninth Layer Peak.
If luck is on his side, there might be a slight hope of becoming a Star God.
After all, most of the over two thousand trialists are only at the Star Abyss Eighth Layer Peak level, and the Divine Chosen Stage doesn’t solely depend on strength.
But if the difference in strength is too vast, it’s hard to make up for.
While many trialists were still contemplating, Lin Qing took a step and was the first to disappear into the middle space portal.
Seeing this, a group of trialists felt somewhat envious.
They all came from second-level civilizations and had been taught by Void Creatures, naturally understanding that the Dark World offers the greatest aid for the void. However, due to its danger, they didn’t dare to enter rashly.
“Forget it, we have no hope of becoming a Star God; it’s better not to pursue points. We’ll train in the Tianhe World first, then go to the Mirror Image World and Dark World.”
“Hmph, coming from a planetary civilization, not even having the chance to integrate into the Void Secret Realm or sense the Void Rules of the Void Sea, even if strong, they only excel in the Dark World. In the Tianhe World and Mirror Image World, they might not surpass us.”
“Indeed, these three worlds test the mastery of the void. Coming from a planetary civilization, what attainment can one have in the void?”
“True, being strong only means getting more points in the Dark World. In the Mirror Image World, if he’s strong, the mirror image is also strong, but what’s tested are external skills and Void Accomplishment; Tianhe World is even more so.”
“Who will gain the Star God’s Position in this trial isn’t certain yet.”
Every trialist here is a prodigy from their civilization, and someone like Turs is even more arrogant, naturally refusing to admit defeat at this moment.
It’s indeed the case.
In past Star Divine Trials, there have been trialists with extraordinary strength, but because the Divine Chosen Stage mainly tests Void Accomplishment, they ultimately couldn’t gain the Star God’s Position.
“Trialists, please note, in this Dark World, each minute you persist, you will receive one point, up to a maximum of ten thousand points.”
Upon entering the Dark World, Lin Qing heard a cold voice echoing in his mind.
“One point per minute? So persisting for ten thousand minutes, about seven days, is needed to earn ten thousand points…” He suddenly understood.
This is pure darkness.
Not only is there a lack of light signals, but all other bodily senses and even Telekinesis perception are blocked.
It’s as if everything in the world has turned into dark emptiness.
At this moment, he could only rely on sensing the void.
Empty, as if nothing exists, yet the void’s waves are still clear.
The void waves within a few kilometers are extremely clear, but the further space begins to gradually blur.
“Luckily, there’s the Blood Cauldron King Avatar, still visiting many Cosmic Wonders at the Cosmic Wonders Museum; my Void Accomplishment is already quite high…”
