The Trial Ceremony was nearing its end. Almost all the players had summoned their Gods. Li Huailin also paid a little attention. There were both high and low level Mages. So far, the highest ranked Mage was still the second-ranked Goddess of Harvest, while the lowest ranked Mage was still his summoned Saint Gaius.
The players looked at Li Huailin strangely because only Li Huailin's Gods were below the seventh-ranked. What was going on? Did he stumble? Some players heard from their Gods that Li Huailin wasn't suitable for cultivating divine powers. Of course, this was a good thing for them.
Li Huailin wasn't nervous at all when he saw the playful gazes of the players. Although cultivating divine powers was important in this Trial, it didn't say that one had to rely on divine powers to win. Li Huailin wasn't worried that these players would be able to ascend to the heavens.
In any case, the last player also summoned his God of Guidance. There were now twice as many people on the scene. At this time, Saint Ilofrey floated up again, slowly climbing higher so that everyone could see her. The players gradually quietened down. Everyone knew that the Trial was about to officially begin. Saint Lofrey was probably going to explain the content of the Trial to them.
"Alright, mortals, be quiet." Saint Lofrey's dignified voice resounded again. "Now, I will explain the content of the second Trial. As I said before, this Trial was set up by His Highness the Ruler of God to find the five Chosen Ones. This will be the final round, where the final five will be chosen from the 46 candidates. I, Saint Lofrey, will be the Chief Supervisor of this Trial. I will oversee the entire process. "
"The total duration of this Trial is one day, which is 24 hours. The time will be calculated once the Trial begins." Saint Lofrey's first sentence sent the players into a frenzy.
"F * ck, 24 hours …"
"That's too long. One day and one night."
"Silence!" Saint Ilofrey immediately said, "Perhaps you're wondering why it's taking so long. Then, let me finish."
"First, after the trial begins, you will be teleported to any location on this island." Saint Lofrey pointed at the island the players were on. Indeed, most of the players had realized that they were on a small island. It wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. The island's environment was quite complicated. Not only were there mountains and forests, but there were also many animals. There might even be wild beasts and monsters.
"The teleportation is random, but I can guarantee that there won't be anyone around you at the start." Saint Ilofrey continued, "The only one by your side will be your guiding deity, and he/she will begin to teach you how to learn and use divine power. At this time, the trial will officially begin. Your goal is naturally to defeat the other trial-takers. "
"Defeat means kill, right?" a player asked.
"Yes." Saint Lofrey nodded, then continued, "Look at your right hands. There should be a Divine Seal left behind in the previous round."
Everyone had one, but the number of Divine Seals was different. For example, Li Huailin had one white Divine Seal and five red Divine Seals, while many players only had one white Divine Seal. They had already handed in their red Divine Seals in the first round.
"The white divine seal is equal to ten red divine seals. Simply put, it's ten, and the red divine seal is equal to one. Right now, the number of divine seals you have is between ten and fifteen," Saint Ilofrey immediately said.
"I see."
"Crap, if I knew the red Divine Seals were still useful, I would've bought a few more."
"Why didn't you say so earlier? I even sold a few more."
It was obvious that these points were important. So, many players with only one white Divine Seal were unhappy. How did they know the Divine Seals were still useful? They thought they were useless after the first round. Of course, there were also players who had already guessed it. When the first round of the quest was announced, the players who had handed in a lot of money had already guessed it.
"Back then, when you defeated the other trial-takers, you would take away half of their divine seals." Saint Ilofrey ignored these people and continued to speak, "Do you understand what it means to take it away? You'll have less, and the other party will have more. "
Of course, everyone understood this. If they killed the other party, they would be able to snatch half of the Divine Seals. However, someone immediately reacted. "But what if the number is odd? Can you give me half and half? "
"If you can't split them evenly, then round them up. For example, if you have five Divine Seals and you're killed, three of them will be snatched away by the enemy. If there are three, then two will be snatched away, and so on and so forth, "Saint Hilfrey explained.
"I see." The players nodded. This was easy to understand.
"However, if you only have one Divine Seal left and are killed by someone, then you will immediately fail the trial and withdraw." Saint Hilfrey continued, "When we determine the final result, we will take the top five trial-takers in terms of the number of Divine Seals they have. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
At this point, the majority of the players understood. This was a competition to snatch away the other party's Divine Seal. It was similar to fighting for points. This type of quest wasn't rare, as other types had appeared before. What Saint Hilfrey meant was that the last Divine Seal was more important. After all, even if you only had one Divine Seal left, you still had a chance to turn the tables. However, if you lost your last Divine Seal, then you would immediately withdraw from the quest.
"So, if you only lose the majority of your Divine Seal after dying, does that mean you can be revived?" a player raised his hand and asked.
"Yes. However, it won't be a fixed location. You'll choose a place with no one around to revive. Unless you no longer have any Divine Seals left, then you'll be sent back to the Mortal Realm," Saint Hilfrey said, nodding.
"You said that we have to learn how to use divine power first, but you also said that we'll fight after the trial begins. Does that mean we'll have to train while attacking or defending against other players?" another player asked.
"Mhm." This time, Saint Hilfrey didn't explain anything.
"I see. No wonder the quest took so long." At this moment, the players finally understood why this quest took so long. It was actually a 24-hour quest. Not only did this time include the time to fight each other, but it also included the time to learn divine power.
"Excuse me, can we check how many Divine Seals other players have during the quest?" Someone suddenly raised his hand and asked. Of course, this was an important question. If they could check, they'd naturally know their ranking. After all, only the top five players would be able to rank among the top five.
"Yes. You can ask your God of Guidance for their ranking," Saint Hilfrey said, nodding. "By the way, not only will the God of Guidance know how to use divine power, but he can also tell you the current ranking of your Divine Seals. He can also give you directions."
"Directions?" The players were stunned. Just as they were about to ask if it was possible to find someone on such a large island, Saint Hilfrey really did say such a thing.
"Of course, you won't be able to find whoever you find. You can discuss the specifics with your God of Guidance later," Saint Hilfrey said. Saint Ilofrey didn't seem to want to waste time explaining and continued, "Lastly, the guiding gods can only help you with these things. These are all verbal things. In other words, they can't directly help you. All of you gods, listen up. I, Saint Ilofrey, will be the overseer of this event on behalf of His Majesty the God King. If I discover that you have violated the rules, I will report it to the God King for him to deal with."
What Saint Hilfrey meant was that these Gods could only talk and not fight. In reality, the majority of the Gods didn't have a particularly good relationship with players. In any case, they had only come because of the God King's orders. If not for the God King's orders, they wouldn't have bothered to mingle with mortals.
Meanwhile, Li Huailin was the most worried. Glancing at Saint Gaius, Li Huailin said, "Hey, listen up. No matter what happens, don't make a move."
"Okay." Saint Gaius nodded obediently, but Li Huailin was still worried. He continued, "I don't like it when others help me, especially when I don't need help at all. So, if you make a move, I won't bother you anymore."
"Okay, okay. I got it." Saint Gaius nodded again.
"That's all for the rules of the second trial," Saint Hilfrey concluded. Saint Ilofrey concluded, "If you still have any questions regarding the Laws, you can directly communicate with your God of Guidance. They all know the Laws as well. If you're ready, the trial will begin soon. Once the teleportation begins, the timer will start. Do you understand? "
The rules of this trial were relatively simple. So, although most players only heard it once, they understood it. Although the rules were simple, it was still quite troublesome. Everyone wasn't confident because they didn't know how the Divine Power Cultivation worked. They could only ask their God of Guidance when the cultivation began.
"Since no one has any questions, let's begin," Saint Hilfrey said. After Saint Lofrey finished speaking, she stretched out her hands, and a pure white light slowly swept past the players. Then, with a flash of white light, Li Huailin felt the familiar feeling of teleportation. In the next second, Li Huailin felt his surroundings change. The trial had begun.
