Starting as a stray dog, I embarked on a journey of cultivation.

According to the remnant soul's instructions, this level is designed to eliminate at least three or four people out of the five.

There cannot be a situation where only one or two people are eliminated, nor can all of them be eliminated.

Gou An thought for a long time, and then suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"I've made up my mind. This level of the trial will be called the 'Kill and Flash Game'!"

The remnant soul shook its head immediately upon hearing this: "No! The rules of the Pagoda Trial have never tested cultivation level!"

But Gou An retorted, "The 'kill' and 'dodge' I'm referring to here aren't actual killing and dodging, but rather a set of game rules!"

"There are five participants in total, and their identities will be randomly assigned!"

"Divided into: Lord, Loyal Minister, Rebel, Traitor, and Spy!"

"Apart from the identity of our lord, all other identities are hidden..."

Gou An explained the rules of the classic board game Kill in one breath, and the stone table began to automatically generate a scene and props suitable for such a trial as Gou An narrated.

After the entire trial was completed, the remnant soul immediately praised it, saying, "This trial is quite interesting. It combines killing and dodging within a small space, while also taking into account strategy. This is the first time I've heard of such a thing."

"And most importantly..." Gou An added, "Once the factions are divided, the number of eliminations is absolutely fixed!"

"Only three or four players can be eliminated at a time."

The remnant soul nodded after hearing this: "Not bad, you've passed!"

Upon seeing this, Gou An seemed to have a sudden inspiration and continued to design the next trial suitable for the four of them.

"This trial requires a total of twenty cards with identical backs."

"There are six Sun cards, six Moon cards, six Star cards, and two Fairy cards!"

"Each of the four trial participants will be dealt five random cards at the start!"

Before the game begins, three cards—Sun, Moon, and Star—are randomly designated as the trump suit. Afterward, the four players can only play different numbers of cards as trump suits.

"The two Fairy Cards can be used as any card, and you can lie during the playing process..."

Gou An transformed the game at the Scammer's Tavern into a trial suitable for four players.

Furthermore, the revolver used for elimination has been replaced with six blind boxes, one of which is randomly placed with a trap symbolizing elimination.

After hearing Gou An's design, the remnant soul found it increasingly interesting and nodded in agreement to the trial.

He also praised, "Interesting, interesting! I'm increasingly looking forward to your future designs."

When it was the turn of the three to try, Gou An directly brought out the rules of Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game).

However, the landlord was changed to an evil cultivator and a demon king, and the peasant was changed to a righteous cultivator.

The card descriptions have also been modified, but the core rules remain the same.

After the design was completed, the remnant soul once again gave Gou An the answer of direct approval.

"These three trials are quite interesting!" The remnant soul nodded. "However, they all involve playing cards, so they're somewhat similar. For the remaining two trials, I need something different."

Hearing this, Gou An immediately felt a headache coming on.

Because it was a two-player game, Gou An wanted to design a poker game called "Golden Flower".

However, since the remnant soul has stopped them, they can only change the content.

So they replaced the playing cards with ten jade pendants that were only engraved with numbers.

The jade pendants are exactly the same, except for the numbers engraved on them, from one to ten.

One is the smallest, ten is the largest.

However, even though one is the smallest, it can win against ten on its own.

Then, give the two participants some spirit stones as chips, randomly distribute jade, and let them place bets on each other.

After ten rounds, whoever has the most spirit stones wins.

After hearing Gou An's design, the remnant soul showed a hint of dissatisfaction for the first time.

"It feels somewhat similar to the previous types! And it relies too much on luck."

Gou An immediately explained, "No! This kind of trial involving two people not only tests luck, but also requires courage and meticulousness!"

"Good luck is only one aspect; with courage and a strong mentality, one can still overcome the stronger opponent!"

After listening to Gou An's description, the remnant soul pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "Alright, I'll just barely pass it!"

"There's only one last trial left, the one for you to complete alone. You'd better think about that carefully!"

"After all, those who can emerge victorious from among ten are no ordinary people!"

"Understood!" Gou An nodded and began to think about the design of the final trial.

Designing alone means you can't use the games you played in your past life.

However, the other challenging math problems that Gou An still remembered were not suitable to be adapted into the content of the Secret Realm Trial.

Gou An thought about it for a long time this time, and finally came up with the Rubik's Cube.

People who haven't learned this stuff can't even handle the simplest third-order level.

So Gou An designed a super-sized Rubik's Cube of level 30 using a stone table, and each cube was the size of a normal room.

The challenger does not control the Rubik's Cube from the outside, but is trapped in one of the rooms in the middle of the cube, with the goal of finding the correct exit.

The Rubik's Cube rotates according to specific rules, and people trapped inside will lose their sense of direction.

Only by finding the pattern of the Rubik's Cube's movement can we find the right way out.

After Gou An devised his plan, the remnant soul found it quite novel.

Such trials in three-dimensional space are extremely rare for them.

Compared to the maze trial given to Gou An and his friends this time, the difficulty of this Rubik's Cube maze will be terrifying.

Because it not only has front, back, left, and right sides, but also up and down, and the room can also move.

"Alright!" Gou An was panting heavily after completing all the rules.

"I'm going to name this trial 'Once you're in, you can't get out!'" Gou An said with a serious expression.

The remnant soul remained silent for a moment, then spoke: "Alright! Let's call it Thousand Pivots Chaotic Origin Formation!"

"Alright!" Gou An nodded in agreement.

"However, this trial is far too complex, and we don't yet know how difficult it is!" the remnant soul slowly said. "Since you are the designer, why don't you go in and try to see if you can come out?"

Gou An was stunned upon hearing this.

It's true that this thing was designed by myself, but if you actually went inside, you would definitely get lost and almost never be able to get out.

So he quickly waved his hand, saying, "There's absolutely no need!"

"Let's give it a try!"

"Actually, I think we could reduce it by a few levels!" Gou An said, stroking his chin. "How about reducing it from thirty levels to four..."

The remnant soul suddenly chuckled a few times, then said, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore! This is fine!"

"However, it is too difficult. In my opinion, very few people can find the right way out when their cultivation is sealed."

"Let's keep it as one of the most difficult trials for the pagoda!"

Then, the remnant soul reached out and summoned three magical artifacts, which flew over simultaneously.

"As agreed, these three treasures are all yours!" After saying this, the remnant soul tossed the treasures away, and they landed in Gou An's hands.

Looking at the three top-grade magical artifacts in his hands, Gou An's mouth almost stretched to his ears in a wide grin.

Three top-grade magic treasures!

After this, do I still need to live a life of hiding?

With this in mind, Gou An had already devised a new Taoist name for himself.
