The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 1093 Trials of Four Kingdoms
Countries immediately launched recruitment efforts.

Given that the small world on which this trial space is based is quite large, it is decided that each country may send up to fifty people to participate.

The requirements are: cultivation level between Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stage, physiological age not exceeding forty years old, and resilience of eighty or above.

Although there are many talented people in various countries, very few can meet all three requirements at the same time. Basically, apart from Tang and Mobei, the other two countries cannot recruit enough people.

Not to mention that they also have to pass a psychological test issued by "the world".

In the end, given the imbalance in the number of participants from different countries, the number was adjusted to 39 people from each country for the sake of fairness.

On the Tang side, most of the selected candidates were graduates of the National Academy from the last twenty years, and most of them were now working in the Weaving Institute. Surprisingly, none of them had worked in the Temple.

Wang Dongdong is one of them.

Having experienced the Chang'an Incident, her temperament was no longer the same as before.

When he was selected for the civil service examination, he refused his family's arrangement and chose to return to the textile institute system. Now he has been assigned to the textile institute in Luojiang County, Lingnan.

He is still in the probationary period, and he is working very diligently, behaving much more calmly and reservedly than before.

After changing his cultivation method, he devoted himself to cultivation and finally successfully advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage.

In the apocalypse, all growth is accelerated.

But the key question is—whether one is willing to grow.

Therefore, when the recruitment information appeared on the SkyNet, Wang Dongdong signed up almost without hesitation.

When her mother and father saw her name on the final list, they quickly sent her a telegram.

"Look, neither of the Xie family members went this time. I heard the format this time is rather... well, innovative, and carries a certain degree of risk—"

Wang Dongdong immediately interrupted, "Mom, I know, it's written in the recruitment information!"

But Dad snapped, "Dongdong, stop being so willful!"

"Have you forgotten how you almost lost your life going to that chaotic weaving institute before? And then you abandoned your promising future to go to that filthy place again for the civil service exam! You're getting more and more reckless each time! But this time you're going to the heavens! Look at the immortal ship, everyone on it is at least at the Divine Realm level—"

"You should say you're at the Golden Core stage now..." His mother whispered a reminder from behind.

"I know, I know! Anyway, everything keeps changing! Not to mention, the reasons for these changes all happen in the heavens, who knows what will happen this time!"

“I’m not afraid!” Wang Dongdong explained calmly, “There will only be more changes in the future, and it’s only a matter of time before fate intervenes. I’m willing to face it sooner rather than later.”

"Dongdong, listen to me, the head of the family said, maybe not—"

However, Wang Dongdong didn't listen and hung up the message immediately.

Her gaze narrowed slightly, and the Blood Sea Spear appeared in her palm.

With a twist of his body—

The dark red gun barrel danced in the night, leaving blood-red afterimages.

Every move was graceful and unpretentious, as if he were trying his best to nail all the distracting thoughts in his mind into the air.

Soon, his clothes were soaked with sweat.

But she didn't stop.

Time was of the essence; tomorrow was the day of the trial, and she just wanted to seize the opportunity to practice some more.

……

The next day, at the Luojiang County Textile Institute.

Wang Dongdong stood in the center of the courtyard, carrying a long gun on his back.

His colleagues around him were cheering and encouraging him.

"Judge Wang! You must make the head of the Luojiang County Textile Bureau look good!"

"Tsk, you're being too narrow-minded. Our Imperial Physician Wang is fighting for the country this time! He's bringing honor to our Tang Dynasty!"

"From now on, we'll all be one country. What's the point of talking about countries anymore? But—Judge Wang will surely win!"

Wang Dongdong's face flushed from what he was being told.

Fortunately, when the time came, a net of golden threads appeared, enveloping her and instantly transforming the world.

Before them stood the square in front of the Zichen Hall of the Chang'an Imperial Palace. Wang Dongdong was momentarily dazed, recalling that it was here last year that Liu Sheng was announced as the top scholar.

The thought flashed through my mind, but I couldn't help feeling a dull ache in my heart.

At this time, other trial participants from the Tang Kingdom arrived one after another, all of whom were teleported from all over the country by the Skynet.

Wang Dongdong glanced around quickly and recognized only Shao Yan, so he greeted her from a distance.

I've met others once or twice at the Imperial Academy or the National Academy, but we're not exactly close. As for those who weren't at the Imperial Academy or from the same cohort of the National Academy, we're even less familiar with them.

Former Princess Jiale, Li Jianxi, sat at the head of the table, with Wen Weilan and other ministers below her, while the mirages of the other three kingdoms were also projected simultaneously.

Standing at the very front were the Mei siblings, the two academy's deans, who were leading the team for this trial.

Everyone's finally here.

They then stepped forward one by one to have their belongings checked.

Mei Yuxing simultaneously read out the requirements:

"According to the trial regulations, each participant may only carry one commonly used weapon. All other items are prohibited—including storage bags."

Just then, a trial participant from the northern desert was discovered to have hidden a thumb-sized storage pouch in his inner pocket. He immediately blushed with embarrassment and obediently handed it over.

The warning announcement echoed throughout the four-nation trial site.

"Trial participants who have completed their inspection, please come over here to collect your equipment."

Wang Dongdong joined the queue, and it was soon her turn.

First, we received a uniform-style long robe.

The four kingdoms are represented by different colors: Tang Kingdom is black, Mobei is red, Xuanzhou is blue, and Lingqiu is green.

It is said that the Tang Kingdom was originally red, but it was changed because of the strong insistence of the Great Witch of the Northern Desert.

However, this is just a rumor circulating on the SkyNet, and its veracity is unknown.

The robe was thick and smooth to the touch, with an automatic protective array that was quite strong. Not to mention other essential exploration arrays such as those for temperature, light, and concealment, it was clearly no ordinary item.

In addition, there was a token engraved with her name, also with a dark black background and gold lettering.

"This is your exclusive trial token, which has a storage function. Inside, there are already the necessary supplies we have provided for you, such as pills, talismans, and array plates. It is a unified standard for the four countries."

Of course, all of this is to prevent some countries from using their entire national resources to arm these test-takers with dazzling golden armor.

If this were to be done, it would definitely not be the Tang Kingdom, with its strong foundation, that would suffer, so it's hard to say who is guarding against whom.

"All the resources you obtain during the trials must be deposited into tokens, which will be analyzed and valued by the 'world,' and this will determine your final ranking."

In other words, it affects the leadership of the future coalition government.

For a moment, the trial participants all felt the tokens in their hands were incredibly heavy.

"After you return, the resources in the token will generally belong to you. If they are very valuable and beneficial to human development, the United Government will have the right of first refusal. Of course, you will not be at a disadvantage in terms of price, and the United Government will also recognize your contribution."

There is no disagreement on this point.

"Note that the token has a one-time teleportation array."

Mei Yuxing's gaze sharpened as she swept across the entire room.

"Since this trial is only for friendly sparring, killing is prohibited. Taking the opponent's token and rebinding it to your own token will eliminate the opponent. The moment the binding is completed, the original holder will be immediately teleported out of the trial space."

"You have three days. Once the time is up, the token will be automatically sent back to you."

"Remember, never lose your token."

"If the token is lost for more than half a day, it will be forcibly sent out for security reasons."

"Understand?"

"understand!"

The Tang Kingdom trial participants, who had already changed into black robes, responded in unison.

Standing among them, Wang Dongdong couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. He gripped the token at his waist with one hand and kept stroking the gilded inscription on it.

The trial is about to begin.
