Wizard, I have a game board.

Chapter 319 The trial begins

"Furthermore, this is the second time I've heard the word 'epoch' from it." A thoughtful look flashed in Lor's eyes.

There are no messages related to the era in the list of civilization information exchanges.

This represents the concept of an era, one of the secrets that the Silkworm Dream Super Civilization is unwilling to reveal.

Based on clues such as the fact that there have been very few 'trials' so far, he deduced that we are currently in the early stages of an era, and that the end of the era and the destruction of all things are still a very long time away.

“My guess should be correct,” Lormer said.

If we are currently in what is called the end of an era, according to the Bloodline theory, when the era ends, all beings that have not reached the ninth rank will perish.

If it were truly that urgent, and if I were indeed of some use to them, they certainly wouldn't be able to cultivate me so slowly and leisurely as they are now.

"No matter what, there's only one thing I can do now."

Lor took a deep breath and thought to himself, "That means, while ensuring my own safety, I should do my best to go higher and become stronger."

"Only in this way can we protect ourselves before that moment arrives, and perhaps even help those in the Wizarding Alliance who are still alive at that time."

After sorting everything out, he stopped thinking about it and instead looked down at the blood-red palace below.

With a slight thought, Lor activated his senses to cover the crimson palace.

However, when their senses reached within a hundred miles of the palace, they were blocked by a blood-red barrier that suddenly appeared.

"This should be the vessel for the Law Value Exchange Token." Lor recalled what he had seen about the trials on the Civilization Information Exchange Panel, and felt certain.

In appearance, this palace is completely different from the giant feather used to hold the Law Value Exchange Tokens during the trial in the Feather Kingdom, but the characteristics they exhibit are quite similar.

For example, they all float at the very center of the plane.

For example, there is an external defensive barrier that can defend against all detection methods, while its own defensive capabilities are also quite strong.

Of course, this "not weak" refers to ordinary sixth-order beings.

The more Law Value Exchange Tokens contained within the carrier, the stronger the defensive barrier becomes. Even the weakest defensive barrier requires a sixth-tier, six-star being to grind for ten days to half a month to open.

Even the strongest beings, those at the sixth rank and eighth star level, need to be trained for a year and a half.

"I wonder how many Law Value Exchange Tokens are hidden in this palace?" Lor looked curious. After sending a message to all the chairmen of the Wizard Alliance, he directly separated a portion of his mental energy and sank into his sea of ​​consciousness to activate a small-scale Great Collapse Technique.

According to the rules, as long as the vessel enters the trial field, the beings in the trial field can try to break through the defenses outside the vessel and collect the law value exchange tokens inside in advance.

However, due to the excessively strong defensive barrier outside the carrier, it was difficult for the natives of other trial grounds to achieve this.

Lorre is an exception.

"Kaka——"

A hundred miles away from the blood-red palace, a space about ten miles long and wide suddenly collapsed.

As the space collapsed, the crimson barrier also collapsed simultaneously, leaving no room for resistance.

"Kakaka-"

The collapse of this small patch of crimson barrier was not the end, but the beginning. Cracks quickly spread outwards from the point of spatial collapse.

In less than three seconds, the entire barrier surrounding the crimson palace was reduced to various basic elements and completely destroyed.

Having eliminated the defensive barrier, Lor did not recklessly fly into the palace. Instead, he continued to release his senses and simultaneously activated the virtual and real spaces to try to surge into the palace.

This time, he encountered no obstacles and successfully extended his senses into the palace.

The palace's interior spans thousands of miles in length, width, and height, resembling a small world.

One hundred and eighty-one blood-red tokens of varying sizes floated high above the palace.

The largest token, located at the very center of the hall, is inscribed with a complex script identical to those found in the Second World.

Just like in the Second World, Lor understood the meaning of the words at a glance.

This character is a number, 'ten'.

Of the remaining 180 tokens, 80 tokens are engraved with the number 'one', and 100 tokens are engraved with the number 'zero one'.

If you add these numbers together, it will be exactly the value of the rule of one hundred.

"This should be the carrier containing the most law values ​​in the entire Wizarding Plane Group, right?" A smile appeared on Lor's lips as he urged the virtual space to extend towards the token closest to the entrance of the palace.

In less than a second, the virtual and real space had already reached a distance of ten miles from the Law Value Exchange Token, which was worth 0.1 Law Value.

At the same time, a rather familiar red barrier reappeared outside the Law Value Token.

Lor cast another small-scale Disintegration spell.

"Kaka——"

Ten miles away from the Law Value Token, a space a hundred meters long and wide suddenly collapsed.

The crimson barrier, just like before, crumbled and disappeared without any resistance, and the Law Value Exchange Tokens that were originally floating in the air also began to fall downwards as if they had lost their support.

Lor activated gravity magic, attempting to draw the Law Value Exchange Tokens towards himself.

The Law Value Exchange Token suddenly stopped falling and instead flew out of the main hall.

The Second World, a space filled with towering trees, atop a single green leaf.

"Are you sure he'll go to the Vortex Plane Sea?" Blood turned his gaze from the light screen in front of him to Butterfly beside him, suppressing a laugh as he asked.

Even when facing a law value carrier that had appeared several times before and had precedents for reference, Lor was still this cautious during his exploration.

What if we were to switch to a vortex-shaped sea surface with no reference point and a much higher level of danger?

“As long as he can integrate more than five laws, he can control a seventh-tier treasure.” Die said calmly, “In addition, with the dual cultivation of space and time, although there is still a certain degree of danger, as long as he is cautious and not greedy, he can completely guarantee his life before the balance between the upper and lower vortexes is broken. Why wouldn’t he go?”

"If he combines five laws, wouldn't that mean he can clear the fifth round of the Arena's Unrestricted Battle?" Blood clicked his tongue and said, "You really have a lot of confidence in him!"

“He has surprised us time and time again, so how can I not have higher expectations for him?” A smile appeared on Butterfly’s face.

“I still think he can only fuse four laws at most.” Blood shook his head. “After all, our place is too small, and it’s impossible for any treasures to be born that would truly benefit him.”

"No problem."

Butterfly said softly, "At worst, I can have the sea open another vortex that only allows sixth-order beings to enter. The key to this game is the fusion of the vortices."

"Between life and death lies great terror, but also great opportunity. To be resurrected from the dead is an experience that even you and I cannot hope for. He has the right to experience it, so he should not waste it."

Although the wizarding civilization's system may seem to require no life-or-death trials, the fact that it didn't need them before doesn't mean that the laws of fusion don't require them.

The fusion of laws mostly relies on a flash of inspiration, and it believes that Lor's premature fusion of the rudimentary form of a law is no exception.

Experiencing a life-or-death situation will definitely give him a lot of insights.

"If the Overlord were to resurrect him, he would probably set some conditions, right?" Blood suddenly asked telepathically.

"This is not your concern."

Butterfly glanced at Blood, "And even if they make demands, they won't be excessive."

"Putting that aside, there is something I'd like to ask you."

"What?" Blood asked curiously.

"Are you worried about him?" Butterfly turned her head and looked directly at Blood. "I don't want the conditions you're setting to be too harsh." Blood nodded. "If he achieves half-step transcendence or even supreme status in the future, the cause of today will surely lead to the consequences of tomorrow."

"Don't worry," Butterfly smiled, "The Overlord knows these things better than you do."

"That's true." Xue breathed a sigh of relief.

It doesn't want the Silkworm Dream Civilization and Lor to fall out in the future, otherwise everything it has done will be meaningless.

The Wizarding Dimensions, above the Endless Sea.

"Kaka——"

Just as Lor was happily collecting Law Values ​​to exchange for tokens, a spatial rift suddenly appeared beside him, and then Van En's figure emerged from it.

"Mentor, could this be the carrier of the law value token of our plane group?" Fan En asked curiously, looking at the blood-red hall.

"Hmm." Lor nodded, his hands continuing their work without stopping, and teased with a smile, "The trial starts in half a day, why aren't you staying with Vincentia and Speaker Sanchez to prepare properly, instead of coming here to watch the fun?"

As arranged beforehand, Vann would first take Sanchez to guard the end of the trial passage that had been opened up to the wizarding plane's sphere of influence.

Afterwards, they returned to the Wizarding Dimension to guard the other side together with Vincentia.

This is done for insurance purposes.

After all, it would be difficult for the other sixth-tier beings to do anything to the powerful Sanchez, but the fact that tens of millions of sixth-tier beings were willing to risk their lives to rush towards Vincentia still had a certain chance of bringing him some danger.

After all, elemental energy is ultimately limited, and even if it is replenished by magic crystals, it still takes a little time, doesn't it?

But with Van En by my side, everything changed.

As for himself, he naturally wanted to talk to the children of the two leaders of the Lingkong Civilization first.

However, his purpose has changed compared to before.

Instead of asking the leader of the Lingkong civilization not to stop him from running away with the plane group, it used it to negotiate with all the top large civilizations in the 758 plane sea.

The focus of the negotiation is naturally the allocation of the rule value.

With blood as a crutch, the best-case scenario is to hoard all the Law Values ​​and leave them all with the Wizard Alliance.

Not eating alone within the family doesn't mean not eating outside the family.

In addition, the geniuses who enter the Wizarding Plane Cluster are also bargaining chips. Lower-level sixth-tier, six-star, and seven-star geniuses can be used to exchange for the plane cluster territories that other civilizations have already found and controlled.

As for the few sixth-tier, eight-star geniuses, let's first try to exchange law points with those civilization leaders. If that doesn't work, we can at least exchange for more dimensional territories.

Apart from the two offspring of the leader of the Lingkong Civilization, all other sixth-tier, eight-star prodigies were his bargaining chips.

The two sons of the leader of the Lingkong Civilization, not wanting to offend the eighth-level spatial faction too much, secretly conspired to make a deal on the surface, but secretly released him without compensation.

Of course, these are all the best-case scenarios he anticipated.

Whether it will work out or not remains to be seen.

“Everything that needed to be prepared has already been prepared, and there’s nothing to do right now,” Fan En said with a smile. “Instead of waiting there idly, we might as well come here and take a look at the law carrier of our dimensional group.”

"That's it."

Lor raised his chin towards the crimson palace, "Actually, it's similar to the law carriers used in other realm trials; there's nothing to see."

"The only good news is that it contains a Law Value Exchange Token worth one hundred Law Values."

“I’ve heard that the defensive barriers outside these carriers are very difficult to break, and the greater the value of the law value token inside, the harder it is to break.” Fan En clicked his tongue in amazement. “You broke through this defensive barrier in almost no time at all. You truly deserve to be called a mentor!”

"Heh, the so-called difficulty in breaking through is only for sixth-tier, eight-star." Lor chuckled. "If you work hard, quickly achieve sixth-tier, nine-star... well, never mind what I said."

Vann's approach is spatial compression, and in terms of power, it's far inferior to his Great Disintegration Technique.

Even if you can obtain the sixth-tier, nine-star honor in the arena, you probably won't be able to break through it quickly.

“Mentor, you’re discouraging me again.” Fan En smiled wryly.

"So, do you regret it?" Lor asked casually.

"No regrets!"

Van En shook his head slightly, his expression becoming much more serious: "I like the ever-changing and unpredictable nature of space, and spatial compression undoubtedly best embodies this change."

"I think it's worth giving up some power for this."

"If you think it's worth it, then keep going. Passion is the second driving force for cultivation." Lor nodded with satisfaction.

"Then what is the primary driving force?" Van asked curiously.

“As long as I can handle it, you don’t need to know what it is,” Lor said softly.

“No need.” It was a seemingly casual remark, but when it reached Fan En’s ears, he felt as heavy as a mountain.

Half a day passed quietly.

Outside the Wizarding Dimension.

One by one, the vassals of various civilizations stood in the void, leisurely watching the distant plane cluster.

The fact that the training grounds are closed is actually a good thing for them.

After all, once the trial begins, they could really die.

They wish that moment would come later, or even never come at all.

As for the core members of various large civilizations and top large civilizations, they have long since returned to their respective civilizations' flying vehicles to either cultivate or enjoy themselves.

Even more extreme, some have returned to their own civilization's plane of existence, preparing to break through to the seventh rank.

They waited for a full four thousand five hundred years, but the trial still hadn't begun, and their patience had been completely worn away.

Just then, a crimson light suddenly burst forth on the surface of the Wizarding Plane.

"What happened?"

"This is."

"Could it be that the trial has begun?"

"should be."

"No way, I heard from the Feather Kingdom that the next test might start in five thousand years, and only four thousand five hundred years have passed now."

"It's guessed wrong almost ten times already, and you still believe it?"

"Quickly, inform Prince Nako."

"Immediately inform the leader."

The unusual activity in the Wizarding Plane Cluster instantly alerted the vassal beings who were observing from outside the cluster.

After guessing what this meant, these vassal beings immediately notified their respective ruling civilization.

As is customary, the trial passage on the surface of the plane group takes three seconds to fully open, which is enough time for the reaction to take place.

Although this trial is a little strange, with a preparation period of 4,500 years, there shouldn't be any problems opening the passage, right?
The live stream from the Second World will be available once the entire trial passage is completely stabilized.
