Chapter 409: 187, Eruption!
“At the Divine Chosen Stage, the ‘three barriers’ of the Three Barriers and Five Exams are the simplest, as long as the standard is met.”
“Once two of these barriers are failed, you will be immediately eliminated.”
“If one barrier is failed, then another barrier must be at the ‘Superior’ level.”
“If all three barriers are at the Superior level, you can skip the first four exams of the Five Exams and proceed only to the fifth exam.”
One Star God stood in a high position within the grand hall, sweeping his gaze over the forty-two Trial Takers below, stating indifferently: “The second barrier is to test your Spiritual Will.”
With a point of his fingertip, a pathway formed by light, emitting a faint glow akin to crystal and glazed glass, appeared in the enormous hall.
The pathway was fifteen meters wide, approximately two hundred meters long, and exuded a peculiar aura.
Lin Qing, sensing attentively, suddenly felt the aura of the pathway somewhat similar to the steps of the Bronze Demon Mountain.
Might it be a similar test as the Bronze Demon Mountain’s examination of Spiritual Will?
“The requirement for Spiritual Will in this barrier isn’t high either.”
The Star God spoke calmly: “As long as you aren’t a privileged wastrel, a bit of honing will suffice to pass this barrier.”
He glanced over the multitude of Trial Takers, “Based on the order of time through the Survival Trials, commence one by one; if you walk past one hundred meters, your Spiritual Will is deemed qualified; surpassing two hundred meters ranks your Spiritual Will a tier higher.”
Among them, the two Trial Takers, whose Authority was only at the Seventh Energy Level, understood they had to reach two hundred meters in this barrier.
At the very least, they had to surpass one hundred meters, or they would be directly eliminated.
“Begin.”
One by one, the Trial Takers began to climb the crystal-like path in the order of the Survival Stage.
However, to Lin Qing’s surprise, it was not the distinguished silver-browed bald man who first stepped up, but a blue-haired girl with a cold expression.
He initially thought that the strongest among the Trial Takers was that silver-browed bald man, yet it seemed there were experts among them?
The blue-haired girl walked calmly along the Glazed Glass Road, appearing unfazed as she quickly passed the hundred-meter mark.
Seeing her composure, one might almost assume this challenge was effortless for her.
However, after the hundred-meter mark, pressure was evidently mounting for her, and her speed noticeably slowed.
Ultimately… she silently halted at the one hundred ninety-meter mark.
“Not bad.”
The Star God slightly nodded, “Her Will is just short of the ‘Superior’ mark.”
“Next.”
The second in line was the silver-browed bald man.
His progress, however, was conspicuously different; not only was he moving much more laboriously, but his expression was also constantly shifting, at times clenching his teeth, frowning, or trembling, seeming to struggle greatly.
He even reached sixty meters when—
“Aaaah——!! Primordial Emperor! I’ll kill you!!”
The silver-browed bald man suddenly knelt down, clutching his head in agony, screaming frantically.
The surrounding Trial Takers’ expressions shifted upon witnessing this.
The test on Spiritual Will proved so arduous, causing him to lose composure to such an extent?
He even uttered words of wanting to kill the Primordial Emperor?
They, of course, knew who the Primordial Emperor was.
As a Prince, to declare openly wanting to kill the Emperor of his civilization?
“So weak in spirit?”
The Star God glanced at the silver-browed bald man kneeling and wailing in pain, furrowed his brow, and then with a wave of his sleeve, the man floated up and away from the Glazed Glass Road.
Freed from the mental pressure and seduction, the silver-browed bald man suddenly awoke.
Startled, he glanced blankly at the Glazed Glass Road not far away, slowly gritting his teeth.
“You failed.”
The Star God said with indifference, “However, with your Authority at Level Ten, failing a single aspect can be salvaged, but if your comprehension also fails, you’ll be eliminated. Do you understand?”
The silver-browed bald man took a deep breath, and wordlessly stepped aside.
Nearby, the other Trial Takers couldn’t help but look at him with peculiar expressions.
As a Prince, to harbor such hatred for his father?
Lin Qing also shot a glance at the silver-browed bald man, unsure if the test was too difficult, or if the other’s spirit was too fragile?
Nonetheless…
This showed that people from the Second-level Civilization were also human, possessing inherent flaws, loves, and hates.
“Next.”
Then, one by one, the Trial Takers began to step onto the Glazed Glass Road for this test of Spiritual Will.
More than half crossed the hundred-meter mark, but among those who didn’t, some possessed Authority levels beyond the Eighth Energy Level.
However, the two Trial Takers at the Seventh Energy Level only barely exceeded the hundred meters, not quite reaching the ‘Superior’ threshold.
After forty-one Trial Takers attempted, in the end, twenty-four surpassed one hundred meters, but none reached two hundred meters.
Finally, it was Lin Qing’s turn.
Without hesitation, Lin Qing stepped onto the Glazed Glass Road.
The instant he set foot on the Glazed Glass Road, he was certain.
This allure and mental pressure were indeed the same test as that of the Bronze Demon Mountain.
Moreover, the initial difficulty of this Glazed Glass Road’s first step was lesser than that of Bronze Demon Mountain’s first step.
It was uncertain how the subsequent stages would unfold.
Lin Qing had tried the Bronze Demon Mountain, ultimately stopping at the sixteenth thousandth step, curious if the Spiritual Will at the sixteen thousandth step of the Bronze Demon Mountain could surpass the Glazed Glass Road’s hundred-meter mark.
One meter, two meters, ten meters, twenty meters…
“At first, it’s quite easy…”
Lin Qing felt rather relaxed, his pace steady and swift, continuously advancing.
What do you think?
