Then let them show their loyalty!

Chapter 632: The Amazing "God's Trial" (Thanks to the leader of "半世浮华233"!)
On the day of the "God Trial". Outside Sandu City - Crimson Purple Lake.

The sky was as blue as a gem, without a trace of white clouds.

Qiu Tu, Zhao Ji, Zhu Wu and Qing Lan stood by the Jiang Zi Lake, waiting quietly.

Looking at the other three women, Qiu Tu was also doing the final confirmation work, "Sister Zhao Ji, I remember you said that each "God Trial" is different. "

“But generally speaking, it is divided into two parts, ‘Qualification’ and ‘Trial’.”

"The former is to determine the scope of the 'candidates' for the 'trial'. The latter is to determine who will ultimately receive the 'Godhood'."

"And the confirmation of the candidate's qualification is... this piece of 'Heaven-reaching Turtle Shell'?"

At this point, Qiu Tu spread out his hands. In his hands lay a piece of golden tortoise shell the size of a baby's fist, shining brightly in the sun.

As he stretched out his hand, Zhuwu and Qinglan also stretched out their hands, and in their hands they also held an identical tortoise shell.

Zhao Ji, the only one who did not extend her hand, was looking at the Jiangzi Lake not far away like an iceberg.

The lake is like a huge mirror, reflecting the blue sky. The lake water sparkles under the sunlight, like countless tiny diamonds jumping and sparkling on the water.

Compared to the gray real world, everything in the "Boundless Heart Sea" looks cleaner and brand new, as if it has never been polluted.

Retracting her gaze, Zhao Ji said lightly, "Hmm," and then said, "There are two types of candidate qualifications for the "God Trial". The first is the "Initiator."

"When a living being hands over the remains of an eighth-level god to the 'Sky-reacher', he will automatically become the 'Initiator'."

"After becoming an 'initiator', you will automatically become a 'candidate' for the God Trial and receive three 'Heavenly Tortoise Shells'."

"The 'Initiator' position cannot be transferred, and you must participate in the 'God Trial'."

"But the 'Tongtian Turtle Shell' can be given or transferred. When you hold the 'Tongtian Turtle Shell' until the last moment of the trial, you will automatically be qualified as a candidate and teleported to the trial area."

“So, in the past, many people would fight for the “Heaven-reaching Turtle Shell” in order to get a place in the final trial.”

At this point, she paused, then said coldly, "However, it is precisely because the "Heavenly Turtle Shell" can be transferred that each "candidate" is independent."

"This also means that all candidates are sent to completely random locations, and they don't move according to the team."

"So, when the Trial begins, the first thing we have to do is to reunite."

Having said this, she glanced at the three people with her golden eyes, and said, "I have planted the "Mark of the God" on your hands."

"As long as there is no "world barrier level" obstruction, we can sense each other's position."

"Generally speaking, the area of ​​the 'God Trial' is not too large. Whether it is in the 'Northwest Region' or the 'Southwest Region', we should be able to meet up quickly."

Among the four people, Zhao Ji was obviously the most respected, so after hearing her explanation and arrangements, they all nodded slightly and agreed.

After Zhao Ji finished speaking, Qiu Tu also glanced at Qing Lan and Zhu Wu, and continued, "According to Sister Zhao Ji's experience. Generally speaking, there are four main types of "God Trials."

"Puzzles, secret realms, killing, and fighting gods."

"Among these four types, except for the last one where all candidates compete head-on to select the final winner, the other three can be achieved through leveraging momentum or teamwork."

"This is a huge advantage for us, who own the Northwest Region and have a certain influence on the Southwest Region."

"However." At this point, Qiu Tu paused and said, "The specific operation will have to wait until the "Trial" officially begins. We will meet up and understand the specific method of this "God Trial" before discussing and deciding."

After Qiu Tu finished speaking, Zhao Ji glanced at Zhu Wu who was in a carefree state, and then said, "It is also very simple to know the specific method and related information of the "God Trial". "

"That is, after the "trial" begins, use your own "world official position" to communicate with the "origin of the world" directly."

"Just like every time we advance, we will somehow get relevant information from the 'Origin of the World'. Then, we will naturally know all the details of the trial."

Just like that, the two of them talked about the "Trial of the Gods" again.

Zhao Ji is the "reincarnation of a god", and Zhu Wu is also the "reincarnation of a god". In fact, they both have a better understanding of the "Trial of the God".

The ones who didn't understand the "Trial of the Gods" were Qiu Tu and Qing Lan.

That's why Qiu Tu would talk about it again before starting, so that Qinglan could review it and he could check for any gaps.

Just like that, the few of them finished their chat. The lakeside soon fell into silence. The four of them were quietly waiting for the "God Trial" to begin.

But I don’t know if something went wrong, this time the "Trial of the Gods" seems to start a little later.

I don’t know how long I waited, maybe an hour, or maybe two or three hours.

Just when the four of them were about to get tired of waiting, suddenly, the sky above the nine heavens, which was originally as blue as a gem, suddenly changed color, and thick clouds gathered from all directions like surging waves!

Then, the clouds were torn apart by a mysterious and powerful force, and a dazzling, almost incandescent light burst out from it, sweeping towards the four people like a divine light!

At the same time, the golden tortoise shells in the hands of Qiu Tu and the other two began to shine with a golden glow, and then instantly turned into golden droplets, blending into the backs of the three people's hands, forming a strange pattern!
At the same time, the strange pattern slowly appeared on the back of Zhao Ji's hand.

The next second, the incandescent light suddenly retracted! When everything returned to normal, the four people disappeared directly on the spot.
Light, endless light.

Qiu Tu used to think that darkness was the scariest and most uncomfortable thing. But after being enveloped by the holy light, he suddenly found that the endless light seemed unbearable.

Just like that, I don’t know how long it took. When Qiu Tu closed his eyes and felt that he could no longer bear it.

A sudden whirlwind came.

The next second, Qiu Tu felt that he suddenly lost weight! It was like he fell directly from the sky!
Qiu Tu was startled and opened his eyes quickly. Sure enough, the sky was moving away from him at a very fast speed, and the whistling wind was passing by him! In the corner of his eye, the earth was approaching him at a very fast speed!

Fortunately, the seventh-level Qiu Tu could already fly in the real world. So he turned over, adjusted his balance, took a few steps in the air, and slowly stopped in mid-air.

"Is this a return to the Northwest Territory?"

After stopping in mid-air, Qiu Tu finally had time to observe his situation. As he thought about this, he looked around.

As a result, he found that the sky where he was now had turned gray and black again, covering the entire world in darkness.

And under that depressing sky, there is a tragic scene that looks like the Avici Hell.

The black earth was crisscrossed with dry cracks that were bottomless, and a faint stench of decay emanated from them, extending all the way to the horizon.

The vast black forest was silent and ferocious. The twisted branches of the trees in the forest seemed to have been repeatedly roasted by flames, charred and cracked, with the bark peeling off, revealing the horrible charred appearance inside.

'This is where? '

Qiu Tu frowned. Although he had only been in the "Northwest Region" for a few months, he still had a certain understanding of the various places in the "Northwest Region".

This strange area in front of him was no less than several thousand square kilometers. Such a large and special area would definitely be recorded and would not be missed by him.

'So, this isn't the "Northwest Region"? Could it be that the final choice for this "God Trial" is the "Southwest Region"?'

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu's expression became a little complicated, with a hint of relaxation and a hint of solemnity.

The reason was very simple. If the "God Trial" finally chose the "Southwest Region", it would mean that the "Northwest Region" would not suffer this catastrophe. Then the people Qiu Tu cared about would be safe. So he would feel much more relaxed.

The reason for the solemnity is that compared to the "Northwest Region", although the "Southwest Region" also belongs to the human camp, Qiu Tu's influence is not that great. This will give him less help.

"As expected, there is no perfect solution in this world."

After sighing silently like this, Qiu Tu fell from the air, then found a safe place, closed his eyes, and prepared to communicate with the "Origin of the World" to check the information of this "Trial of the Gods".

As Qiu Tu closed his eyes, the real world slowly faded away, and in the depths of his soul, the "seal" that had expanded in a circle slowly appeared in his inner vision.

Holding the small seal, Qiu Tu tried to communicate with the "origin of the world".

The next second, Qiu Tu seemed to have received some information from somewhere.

He opened his eyes, then sat down beside the dead tree, silently sorting out the information he had received.

After a moment, his mouth slowly opened and his face was full of shock.

It’s no wonder that he was so surprised, it’s because the information he received was too shocking!
This "God Trial" is a super large trial. Not only are there 88 "candidates" participating, but the "trial area" is not the "northwest region" or the "southwest region", but the entire "marginal region"!
In other words, 88 "candidates" will compete in the four marginal regions to win the "status of a god"!
In addition to the fact that the area of ​​this trial is extremely large, this trial is not a conventional puzzle, secret realm, killing or god battle. Instead, it is a comprehensive judgment.

In this trial, a ranking list of "World Origin" will be born, and all eighty-eight "candidates" will be on the list.

Any disaster creature in the "marginal area" will see this list as soon as they close their eyes.

The performance of the 88 "candidates" in this trial will affect the ranking of the list, which will be updated every other day.

There are four main criteria for the list.

One is the individual’s comprehensive strength.

The second is the amount of territory occupied by the four major regions and the number of living beings controlled.

The third is the number of "candidates" killed or subdued.

The fourth is the number of "special treasures" obtained.

According to the information obtained from the "Origin of the World", in the past few decades of the Cataclysm Era, more than a dozen "special treasures" were born in the four marginal areas. These "special treasures" all have various special effects.

Getting them can also quickly increase your ranking.

After sorting out the information obtained from the "Origin of the World", Qiu Tu was really shocked by the grand scale of this "Trial of the Gods".

In the past few days, he had actually asked Zhao Ji and Zhu Wu several times for information related to the "God Trial", and had also heard of several examples of the "God Trial". But they were all relatively small and simple.

I have never heard of such a large-scale "God Trial". I didn't expect to encounter it this time.

"When something is out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong. Something is wrong with this "God Trial". "

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu's expression couldn't help but become solemn.
And at the same time.

Southwest region-disaster zone.

Zhao Ji stood on the rooftop of a rebel building. The entire building beneath her feet was a river of blood and corpses were everywhere.

But she was standing on the rooftop in a spotless white dress. Looking expressionlessly at the anti-government armed members fleeing downstairs, Zhao Ji and Qiu Tu made the same judgment.
"What's going on? Why is this "God Trial" so big?"

"Across four states? A comprehensive trial? And there are also "special treasures"? "

"Did something happen in the "Edge Zone"? It even caused the "God Trial" to change."

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but look up to the north.

"The northwest and southwest regions are both human-controlled areas, and I don't think anything has happened there."

'Is there something wrong with the northeast or southeast region?'

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but close her eyes and sense the positions of Qiu Tu, Qing Lan and Zhu Wu.

After a moment, her expression became even more severe.

Because the four of them obviously had bad luck - probably because the four areas were too large, so the four of them were a bit scattered.

She is alone in the "southwest area", and it is unclear which shelter she is close to; while "Candle Dance" is in the "northwest area" close to the 8th shelter.

As for Qiu Tu and Qing Lan, they were luckier, as they were both in the "Northeast Region" and quite far away from each other.

The four of them wanted to reunite, and the shortest way was to return to the "Northwest Territory" base camp together.

'Let's go to the "Northwest Region" first, and then listen to Qiu Tu's analysis and see what he thinks. After all, the changes in this "trial" are too great, and the previous experience may all be invalid.'

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji tapped her toes lightly, and the next second, she flew into the air. After staying in the air for 0.1 seconds, her figure flashed and then disappeared without a trace.
Northwest China. Fengqi Prefecture.

Zhu Wu looked at the familiar scene in front of her, was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but burst into laughter.

She had not expected that this "Trial of God" would open up four major areas, but she was lucky enough to randomly arrive at the base camp, and it was the junction of the most familiar 7th and 8th shelters.

So in theory, all she had to do now was to stay in Sizhou, protect the safety of Qiu Tu's territory, and patiently wait for a few people to reunite. It would be extremely comfortable.

"Since we have time, let's check out the rankings first."

Thinking of this, she closed her eyes. The next second, a list slowly appeared in front of her.

There are names listed on the list.

The first one is called "Shaohua", the second one is called "Kabane", and the third one is called "Doris".

The fourth one is an acquaintance, the president of the Kirigakure, the eighth-order peak great evil god "Apocalypse".

Zhu Wu paused on the name "Shao Hua" for a moment, as if she had thought of something, but was not sure.

She frowned as she continued to look down. Soon, she saw the name "Zhao Ji" on the 16th place.

She continued to look down and saw that Qiu Tu was ranked 39th, Qing Lan was ranked 57th, and she herself was ranked 74th.

After seeing the rankings of the four people, Zhu Wu was confused:? ?
Good god, I wanted to laugh at them, but ended up becoming the joke myself?

I am the lowest among the four people and almost at the end?

'This ranking is unreasonable! '

'This ranking is reasonable' At the same time, Guan Xiao and Tang Feifei were analyzing this ranking.

With the start of the "Trial of the Gods", the entire four states have entered a state of war readiness.

The intelligence system also discovered this ranking almost immediately and reported it.

Therefore, Guan Xiao went to see Tang Feifei as soon as possible, and invited Liu Xiongyuan, Dai Yukang and others to analyze the list together.

Several people were in the conference room, typing out the rankings and analyzing them one by one.

"According to the World Origin's explanation of this list, this is the ranking of the 'God Candidates' in this 'Trial'."

"And the ranking is based on strength, area of ​​​​the controlled area, population, etc."

"Zhu Wu is the reincarnation of a god, so her evaluation is much stronger than that of the early seventh stage. But she is ranked 74th. This shows that the strength of the candidates this time should start from the middle and late seventh stage."

"Although the commander's strength is the lowest among all the candidates, he now has the largest territory and the largest population among all the candidates."

“That brings his ranking to 39th.”

At this point, Guan Xiao glanced around at the people at the scene and said, "So, how to keep the commander's current territory has become our top priority."

"And if we want to keep our current territory, the first thing we have to do is to find out how many "candidates" have descended in the Four States, the 8th Shelter, and the Northwest, and what their strengths and identities are."

She said, "According to the 88 candidates and the four major regions, there should be about 22 candidates descending on our Northwest Region. This is not a small number. These are 22 great evil gods at the peak of the seventh level or even the eighth level."

"If any one of them takes action, they can wipe out Sanctuary 8 and our four states."

After listening to Guan Xiao's words, Dai Yukang adjusted his frameless glasses and said, "It shouldn't be difficult to determine the number of 'candidates'."

"When these 'candidates' descend, they are accompanied by a white-red streak that penetrates the sun. The phenomena in the sky and earth are very conspicuous."

"As long as we exchange information with the Kou family and Princess Xi's intelligence organization, it should be clear enough."

At this point, he paused, "But now there is another problem."

He smiled bitterly and said, "Just before the meeting, a 'candidate' whose strength is unknown came to Dizhou."

"I have asked the intelligence organization to observe from a distance. But I am not sure what the other party will do."

"We have to think about how to deal with this first wave of impact."

"What's more troublesome is that we don't seem to have the ability to fight back at all."

Hearing Dai Yukang's words, Tang Feifei, Guan Xiao, and Liu Xiongyuan's expressions suddenly became solemn.

Although they knew that the gods were coming and that the Four States and the 8th Shelter would be attacked, they did not expect it to happen so soon.
And thinking about the strength of these evil gods, at least in the middle and late stages of the seventh level, they were under even greater pressure for a while.
After all, in the entire "Northwest Region", apart from Qiu Tu, there is not even one rank seven.
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu's figure appeared in everyone's mind.
'Where is Qiu Tu now? What is he doing?'

Meanwhile, in the northeast region, the forest is burning.

Qiu Tu was analyzing his situation.

'I should be in the "Northeast Region" now?'

'Bad luck, but not that bad'

'Because the Northeast Region borders the Northwest Region. And the 8th Shelter is right at the border.'

'So, just go through the area passage and you'll be back at base camp. It's very close.'

'The only question is where exactly is the regional access?'

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu looked at the darkness in front of him in a daze, and for a moment he didn't know where to start.

After all, before the trial began, he really didn't know that this "God Trial" might be held in the "Northeast Region". So he didn't collect any intelligence information about the "Northeast Region" at all.
What’s more troubling is that when he was in the “Northwest Region”, he didn’t pay attention to the other two “marginal regions”.

He only knew that these two major areas were not controlled by humans, but seemed to be controlled by some other strange race, and they had just experienced a catastrophe and were fighting against the evil god.

'So, what is the situation in the Northeast Region? Can anyone provide me with some information?'

At this moment, when Qiu Tu was thinking this, suddenly, two huge mental powers suddenly swept across the entire "Fen Lin" area.

Those two huge mental powers were extremely domineering and powerful, and clearly exceeded the scope of the seventh level.

As the two huge mental powers swept past, Qiu Tu also heard the conversation between a man and a woman.

"Zhiyan, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that we are so close to each other. It seems that God is blessing my Kirigakure."
