Life has dealt a heavy hand to a weak demigod like me.

But in the center of the sun, the Eternal Blazing Sun did not leave a body behind, but only left a test.

An unknown test like the one and only creator.

By passing the test, you can gain the power of the former Eternal Blazing Sun and become the new Eternal Blazing Sun.

At this moment, Charles' heart was moved.

If one can pass the test left by the Eternal Blazing Sun and absorb the power contained within...

How powerful will his power be?

By that time, the so-called truth could be found out in an instant.

But in the end, Charles still did not reach out to touch the extraordinary properties left by the Eternal Blazing Sun, and did not attempt to undergo that test.

It's not time yet.

It is not about overcoming the greed in your heart.

But... it's not the right time yet.

After passing through the City of Gluttony, Charles realized some problems with his body. He knew that while he had gained powerful strength, his body also had some hidden dangers.

As a demigod, the hidden dangers in his body have been replenished.

But after the promotion, the hidden dangers in his body, or the lack of energy, have not been replenished.

Under such circumstances, rashly absorbing this power.

I think that even if I pass the test, the power I finally gain probably won't meet my expectations.

"Peroz, don't you want to try it?" Taking a deep breath, Charles asked Peroz beside him.

Peroz shook his head. "I can feel that there's no way I can pass the test right now."

"In other words, let alone passing the test, I'm not even qualified to take it right now."

"Perhaps after I absorb the power of the Mirror of Self and the remaining power in the Holy Light... perhaps I will be qualified..."

At this point, Peroz couldn't help laughing.

After all, whether it was the Mirror of Self or the Holy Light, she had no intention of using me to absorb the power from them to complete the sequence advancement, but now she was thinking about obtaining the power of the Eternal Blazing Sun.

My mind is confused by power...

It's really greedy and ridiculous.

Chapter 374 Chapter 44 The Chosen One

Seeing the self-mockery on Peroz's face, Charles gently touched her hair.

"Don't worry too much. After seeing this, there are probably no more than five people in the world who can remain calm."

"It's perfectly normal for you to have some thoughts in your mind."

Peroz nodded, then set his sights on Charles, "Rocks...won't you give it a try?"

Although Charles' strength has exceeded what Peroz can understand, there is no doubt that Charles once told her that he is now just a Sequence 2 Servant God.

At this moment, in front of him was a test left by a righteous god. As long as he passed the test, he could inherit the power of the righteous god.

She was not qualified to take this test, but Charles was.

"I haven't been promoted long, and I'm not ready yet."

Yes.

Charles thought that he was not ready for this test, rather than thinking that the power before him was not suitable for him.

The true God, or the righteous God, is different from the subordinate God.

When becoming a subordinate god, Charles needs to carefully calculate his future path.

He even hopes to find the extraordinary characteristics of a true God that suits his path if possible.

But...if it is the power of the righteous God.

He could accept either one.

After all, Ciel's previous expectation for himself was that when he became a Sequence 1, his power would be even slightly greater than that of other gods.

Although he is very special, he can even achieve the incredible ability of killing enemies above his level.

But even with the help of cheats, he was not sure whether he could really reach the level of a true god in the end.

after all...

Their power is the continuation of the One Creator.

Although both were Sequence 1, ordinary Sequence 1s were as weak and helpless in front of the True Gods as ordinary Subordinate Gods were in front of Ciel at this moment.

If he could inherit the power of any one of the five people, with his own uniqueness, Charles could not imagine what kind of power he could obtain.

"Are you ready... Rocks, I believe you can pass this test." Peroz encouraged Charles.

Ciel shook his head. "As much as I hate to admit it, I don't think I can really pass the test."

If he thought about it carefully, perhaps the inheritance of the Five Gods that he possessed might not just be the test left by the Eternal Blazing Sun.

The arena of the God of War and Glory might also be a test - although their bodies remained, the God of War and Glory did not return to their own bodies like the body of the Goddess of Night.

The reason for this may be that there is no real god of war and glory like Sif by Charles' side.

But a large part of it is likely that the God of War and Glory and the Goddess of the Sea fell like the Eternal Blazing Sun.

His body standing in the arena of the Temple of War is the test of His surviving.

As long as one can defeat the opponent, whether in terms of skills or hard power, as long as one of them can surpass the opponent, then perhaps one can pass the test and obtain the power of the God of War and Glory.

As for the tests in the Temple of War, Charles would spend several hours in there almost every day.

But what he got in return was just more beatings. Passing the test and winning were basically out of reach.

The test of the Eternal Blazing Sun is most likely on the same level as the test of the God of War and Glory.

If this is the case, if I haven't reached the threshold of the test of the God of War and Glory, I will most likely not be able to pass the test of the Eternal Blazing Sun.

In addition to his current physical defects, instead of wasting time, it is better to make adequate preparations and meet the two challenges with a perfect posture, and finally obtain the world-shaking power they left behind.

"You don't even try? This is not like your character, Rocks." Peroz raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.

"That's because... I was thinking that maybe one day in the future I could take this test with you, Peroz." Charles teased Peroz.

"With me...?" Peroz was stunned. "Why would you say that, Rocks?"

"Maybe it's because you, Peroz, have a special connection with the Eternal Blazing Sun." Charles said seriously.

"Have it?"

"Of course." Charles gave her an affirmative look.

"It has the bloodline of Holy Light. Although it is not the orthodox Sun Sequence, the sequence path can perfectly connect to any sequence of the Sun Sequence."

"Afterwards, during your expedition, you obtained the Self-Mirror, which could help you ascend to demigod status. Then, at home, you also had a Holy Light, which could help you further ascend..."

Not only that, she had met Hesper again before, and received the holy clothes and ladder from him, and now she saw the test left by the Eternal Blazing Sun...

Thinking carefully about Perozzi's experience, I always feel that she has a feeling of being the chosen one.

"Maybe one day, you can really replace Him and become the new sun."

Peroz looked at Charles speechlessly. "It sounds very similar, but if everything is really as you said, I should have found this place after I was promoted to a god."

"Although it seems that I have the potential to become a demigod or even a god-level transcendent, it is just a chance."

"Even I'm not sure if I can truly absorb the power of the Mirror of Self and the Holy Light."

Ciel pinched Perozzi's cheek and said, "Before, I wasn't sure if you could really complete the promotion, but now I am sure that you can do it."

"With the Holy Cloth and the Ladder, the Mirror of Self and the Holy Light will work together to become your strength."

Although the advancement of extraordinary people seems to rely solely on themselves, that is only for extraordinary people outside the Five Gods Sect.

Within the sect system, even if one has poorer qualifications and character, one may fail to complete the promotion, but there will definitely be no danger to one's life.

At the same time, although they rarely directly intervene in the promotion of demigods, the Five Gods Sect can give each high priest a religious state in order to help demigods be promoted to gods, and use the power of the religious state's faith in the demigods themselves to forge the most suitable extraordinary characteristics for them.

Generally speaking, as long as one has enough merits and enough time, it is almost certain that one can become a demigod and be promoted to a god.

But...even sure things can go wrong.

However, even if mistakes occur at this juncture, the Five Gods possess the power to directly help the ascendant succeed.

Although for some reason the Five Gods did not often use this power, Ciel was certain that every righteous god in the Five Gods sect could do this - although he had not seen it, Mr. Alfor had.

Therefore, Charles could conclude that after obtaining the holy clothes and the ladder, Peroz's subsequent sequence promotion could be said to be a smooth road.

As long as she can fully adapt to the power brought to her by the City of Gluttony, she can perform the ceremony of promotion to demigod at any time, and then be promoted to sub-god after a period of time.

Maybe she can really become the new Eternal Blazing Sun later.

"Locks, you're such a joke."

"But if I could try and take part in this test with you, even if I failed, it would be a very beautiful memory."

After hearing what Peroz said, Charles always felt that she was setting a goal for him.

It was just like what he often saw in the news—so-and-so star became a star because they accompanied their friend to a talent show, and in the end, their friend was eliminated, while they became the star...

"If it succeeds... I won't lose anything. After all, I will be considered a man who slept with the goddess~" Charles hugged Peroz and said with a smile.

Peroz's cheeks turned red, and he looked at Charles with some dissatisfaction, "If that time really comes, I will turn myself into the appearance of the sun so that you won't be able to bully me."

For some reason, a scene of a disheveled Charles staring at the sun with a dull expression appeared in Peroz's mind.

If this really happened, it would be very interesting.

As he thought about this, a look of joy appeared on Peroz's face.

Ciel flicked her forehead to wake her up, "I have a feeling you're thinking of something bad to do to me."

Peroz looked away with a guilty look in his eyes, then said seriously, "I was just wondering if there was any other valuable information in this town besides this test."

Charles glanced at her without exposing her, "You can walk around here for a while, maybe you'll find something interesting."

In fact, there is no need to look for it.

The architectural style and layout of this town are enough to make Peroz happy for a long time - this is a building from the Five Gods Era, or even earlier.

Although this kind of building is not as gorgeous as the current ones, the message contained in it is very attractive to Peroz, a history lover.

If it weren't for the test left by Hesper at the entrance, Peroz would probably have been looking for something that interested him in the town shortly after entering here.

"Rocks, won't you come with me?" After hearing Charles' words, Peroz took a few steps forward, but looked at Charles who stopped and asked curiously.

Ciel shook his head. "I'm not very interested in this kind of thing."

"I want to stay here longer."

Charles's gaze fell on the extraordinary characteristics left by the Eternal Blazing Sun.

It was not greed that was at work; he just wanted to take a closer look at the extraordinary characteristics before him, and to see the last traces of the Eternal Blazing Sun in this world.

For Charles, he is willing to regard the extraordinary characteristics of any of the Five Gods as the power for his own promotion.

but...

He absolutely did not want to stand against the Five Gods because of this.

Charles longed to obtain the powerful strength of the Five Gods, but he would never seize their power for this reason - even if he had the ability and the opportunity, he would not do such a thing.

It's very contradictory, but it's what he really thinks.

Originally, he thought that he would feel relieved, or even happy, after knowing that the Five Gods or even more true gods had to die for a period of time, and that the Eternal Blazing Sun had left, and that he would have the opportunity to inherit this power without taking away their power.

but...

Looking at the power in front of him, Charles did not feel the slightest joy in his heart, but instead felt a sense of sadness.

"What a hypocrite..." After watching Peroz leave and looking at the power in front of him, Charles showed a complicated expression on his face.

Then he sat cross-legged on the ground, slowly closed his eyes, and waited for Peroz's return.

In Nasenburg, Mernadé made a cup of tea for Batu.
