(First Update!)

"I have been wandering in the unexplored areas of the Demonic Smoke Valley all year round. I accidentally discovered this special space-time and broke into this high platform. From that day onwards, I have been trapped in a long nightmare.
"On this high platform, there are eighteen human-shaped sculptures. They form a formation. When I broke into this high platform, they did not wake up. However, when I wanted to leave the high platform, they would immediately wake up and display their shocking strength to stop me. I tried my best, but I could not break through their obstruction, nor could I take half a step out of this high platform!
"For a long time, I was trapped on this high platform by these eighteen human-shaped sculptures.
"After a million years, I racked my brains and thought of countless methods, but I could not break through the formation of these eighteen human-shaped sculptures. I was almost in despair.
"After being trapped for three million years, I discovered that although the human-shaped sculpture formation of this high platform was extremely powerful, it was not impossible to break through. Thus, I began to painstakingly study the method to break out of this human-shaped sculpture formation.
"After being trapped for five million years, my techniques with the staff have improved greatly. I finally have the ability to confront these human-shaped statues head-on. However, I can only fight on par with one of the human-shaped statues. It's still very far away for me to break out of the formation formed by the eighteen human-shaped statues. However, I can already see great hope."
"After being trapped for eight million years, my staff technique improved again. Even if I had to face two or three human-shaped sculptures at the same time, I could still handle them with ease. This made me even more convinced that I could break through the formation of these eighteen human-shaped sculptures with my own ability.
"After being trapped for ten million years … although my staff technique did not improve greatly, it was still much better than before. My hope was also increasing. However, when the ten million years were up, the eighteen human-shaped sculptures that would not take the initiative to attack me as long as I did not try to leave the high platform actually took the initiative to attack me. Moreover, all eighteen of them attacked me at the same time, not giving me any chance to struggle at all.
"Only then did I understand that these eighteen human-shaped sculptures formation was a test. The time limit of the test was ten million years. If I could break out of these eighteen human-shaped sculptures formation within ten million years, I would have passed the test. Unfortunately, I did not manage to do so.
"When the eighteen human-shaped sculptures attacked me at the same time, I knew that I would die!
"But I hated it. I could not accept it!
"I am a mighty Hegemon. How can I die in a place where no one even knows about?"
"Even if I'm going to die, I won't die because of a coward. I want people to know about this place, and more people to come here. Most importantly, I want people to die with me!!"
"So, I threw all the treasures I had collected in my life outside the high platform and let them drift in this space-time on their own. I hoped that one day, someone would find these treasures and come here. I even placed my two treasures, the Dark Shadow Demonic Thunder Staff and the Blood Devil's Paradise Armor, in a conspicuous place so that anyone who came near the high platform could see the two treasures I left behind. Then, they would charge into the high platform without any regard for their own safety. That way, they could follow in my footsteps!"
"How can I be the only one who has experienced the despair of being forcefully killed after being trapped here for tens of thousands of years with a tiny sliver of hope?" "You've been trapped here for tens of thousands of years, and you've been working so hard with a tiny bit of hope.
"Haha, are you angry and frightened after reading this? It's useless. From the moment you entered the high platform, picked up the token I left behind, and saw the contents of the token, you were already destined to be trapped here. You were destined to experience my despair!"
"Haha, be angry, be resentful. Remember my name, the Star Thunder Hegemon!"
The message finally ended here.
After Jian Wushuang finished reading all the information in the token, just as the Star Thunder Hegemon had said, he was incomparably shocked and furious.
"A trap?"
"Before the Star Thunder Dominator died, he purposely placed his supreme treasure armor and divine weapon in a conspicuous place in order to attract others to enter this high platform and be trapped here like him?"
"He's taking revenge! He's taking revenge on the experts who came to the high platform later! "
Jian Wushuang clenched his fists.
In his opinion, the Star Thunder Hegemon was truly hateful.
It was obvious that he had accidentally entered this place and then been trapped here until his death. If the Star Thunder Hegemon was a bit kinder, he could've left some traces here so that those who came later would be aware of the dangers of the high platform and not rashly enter.
Even if he wasn't so kind-hearted, he could've just done nothing and let those who came later perish on their own.
But instead, he had first thrown the treasures he had collected over his lifetime outside the high platform, allowing them to float in this special space-time, so as to attract experts who had mistakenly entered this special space-time and come to the high platform with a thirst for opportunity.
Then, he had deliberately revealed his two treasures so that those who came to the high platform would feel greedy and then rush to the center of the high platform.
For example, when Jian Wushuang had arrived near the high platform, he had immediately seen the two treasures left behind by the Star Thunder Hegemon. Although he couldn't see the exact level of power of these two treasures, he could tell at a glance that they were extraordinary.
And the more difficult it was to see through a treasure, the more attractive it would be to cultivators.
Jian Wushuang couldn't help but feel that since he had already come, he couldn't waste his time. That was why he had entered the center of the high platform.
If it hadn't been for these two treasures, he would've sensed the danger of the high platform from the very beginning and definitely wouldn't have rashly entered.
"A hateful person, but also a very sad and pitiful one!" Jian Wushuang said.
Sad because the Star Thunder Hegemon was an exalted Hegemon. Even in this territory, he was a supreme expert who could do as he pleased. But in the end, he had been trapped here and died without anyone knowing. It was truly sad.
Pitiful because the Star Thunder Hegemon had clearly seen a chance to leave this high platform in the past ten million years. In fact, if he had been given a bit more time, he would've truly been able to leave this place. But alas, when the ten million years had passed, his hopes had instantly vanished, and he had been killed on the spot. His hopes had instantly turned into despair. Naturally, he was pitiful.
Facing such a sad and pitiful person, even though Jian Wushuang was furious, it was difficult for him to feel any hatred at this moment.
"Star Thunder Hegemon, although you deliberately tricked me, the two treasures you left behind have indeed fallen into my hands. It can be considered a great benefit to me, so I still have to thank you. As for whether I can leave this place alive, that will depend on my own luck." Jian Wushuang took a deep breath and then looked at the human-shaped statues around the high platform.
"As expected, the greatest danger of this high platform is these human-shaped statues. When I walked in, I was wary of them at every step. I didn't expect that these statues wouldn't block my way in, but would block my way out."
