"Refuse?" Faceless One was somewhat surprised by Wang Lu's refusal. "What's the reason?"
"Because I don't like you, so anything that's good for you, I will deal with it in reverse."
"... That's it?" Faceless One said, "I didn't expect you to be so naive. Because of your momentary liking and disliking, you can even ignore the overall situation?"
Wang Lu sneered. "Pfft, overall situation? Who do you think I am? You actually want to tempt me with benefits? Why do you talk about liking and disliking me? Listen clearly, my momentary liking and disliking are far more important than your so-called overall situation. "
"You …"
"I am a cultivator of Nine Regions, not your Western Continent profession. For me, understanding is far more important than worldly power and wealth. If you want to talk about benefits with me, you're looking for the wrong person."
"That's ridiculous!" Faceless One angrily said, "You …"
Wang Lu directly interrupted him. "Enough, no need to say anything. Just wait for Golden King to resurrect, and then your Holy Light Religion and Holy Light faith will be completely eradicated. To be honest, just hating Holy Light Religion is enough for me to stand on the side of Golden King. "
"..." After a long silence, Faceless One laughed wildly. "Hahahaha! You will regret it. You don't know what you've done! What will you lose! "
"Hahaha, since I don't know, why should I regret it? Let's talk about it when I know. Besides, let me borrow a saying from the ancient people, it's all very, very good, but I don't like it. "
As soon as his voice fell, the boundless darkness suddenly opened up, and a dazzling light lit up in front of him.
The haze dispersed, and Faceless One's voice suddenly disappeared. In his line of sight, the towering Beautiful Unique Pool Peak was already in front of him!
And beside him, Liu Li, Bai Shixuan, and Quan Zouhua … were still unconscious. Only their gentle breathing proved that they were in good condition. The only one who was a bit embarrassed was Aya. Because she didn't have time to fasten her seat belt, she fell and curled up on his leg.
… The place where he talked to Faceless One should be an independent space isolated by some spell. There, the challengers would undergo a very strict test. It was so strict that many ancient sages and mighty figures were helpless. They had no choice but to resort to trickery and use the inertia of the war chariot to break through the trial area.
So, now, did Golden King's chariot, driven by inertia, carry them through the trial area?
Or could it be that I completed the trial before the chariot broke through?
Wang Lu curiously thought about it. In theory, since the others were still asleep and he was the only one awake, it should be the latter. However, he really didn't think that he deliberately did anything during the conversation with Faceless One. If it was a test, what was the test?
But soon, his attention was attracted by the approaching Beautiful Unique Pool Peak. The towering mountain was like a majestic giant, bringing with it a suffocating pressure. Only by approaching it could one understand that the significance of this mountain was far more than just the end of the trial.
He freed himself from the safety belt and reached out to control the chariot. He quickly climbed up the mountain, but the road was long. After an unknown amount of time, Wang Lu finally reached the peak. There, an unexpected person was waiting for him.
The man stood on the top of the mountain, with his back against the golden sun above the sea of clouds, shining with golden light.
However, when he got closer, he found that the dazzling golden light did not come from the distant sun, but from him. Under that unparalleled brilliance, even the sunlight was overshadowed.
"Golden King?"
Wang Lu was stunned as he got out of the chariot. Although he was stunned, he felt that it was not incomprehensible.
"Humph, in view of your achievements and achievements, I grant you the qualification to call me by my name and talk to me." Golden King raised his head high and gently cast his eyes down. "Feel honored. You are the only mortal who has received this gift in tens of thousands of years."
Wang Lu faintly smiled and nodded.
Then, Golden King slightly lowered his head, and his eyes revealed considerable appreciation. "You are the only one who has reached the top of the mountain in tens of thousands of years, except for me."
Wang Lu was a bit surprised. "Only two people? Then before Holy Light Religion … "
At the mention of Holy Light Religion, Golden King's face became very gloomy. "A group of lowly bastards, do you think they deserve to touch Beautiful Unique Pool Peak?"
Wang Lu pondered and asked, "In other words, they haven't really completed the fifth trial of the champion's trial?"
"They have." Golden King said, "The content of the champion's trial only stops at the foot of Beautiful Unique Pool Peak. As long as they can break through the sea of clouds and break through the last obstacle of the sea of clouds, they will pass. I will not set a test that is beyond the upper limit of the ability of my subordinates, but at the same time, I will not let filthy lowly people defile my Beautiful Unique Pool Peak. "
Wang Lu pondered and said, "So, it's impossible to climb Beautiful Unique Pool Peak in an ordinary way? Like I said, it's strange to use the chariot to break through the last obstacle of the sea of clouds, and it should not be the right way. But if there is no chariot, we can't even leave the castle. Could it be that there is a problem with the rule that only by using the chariot to reach the finish line? "
"That is not a natural rule of this place, but a group of lowly and ignorant bastards who think themselves clever." Golden King's tone was arrogant, belittling those who built the castle as worthless. However, when he turned around, he seriously explained to Wang Lu, "Beautiful Unique Pool Peak is a trial left by the ancient gods to the human world. It is the starting point for the human world to reach the heaven. The sea of clouds at the foot of the mountain is the first test to screen the mortals. In the sea of clouds, there are all kinds of trials in the human world, which requires the trial taker to have excellent courage, wisdom, and perseverance. However, what really determines whether a person can break away from the mortal world and ascend to the heaven is the last obstacle in the sea of clouds. I have kept the first half of it as my Champion's Trial, because those who can pass the first half must be the most outstanding warriors in the world, and only the most outstanding warriors in the world are worthy of being the Champion under my command. As for the last half, there is no need for them to try it. "
Wang Lu asked, "What is the content of the last obstacle? I was pulled into a strange space and made a deal with someone, but it didn't come to an agreement. "
"That is the content of your trial." Golden King said, "There, you will get an irresistible opportunity to make a deal. As long as you suffer a little bit, you can get endless benefits, power, wealth, or beauty. And this deal is not an illusory illusion, it can really be realized."
Wang Lu nodded slightly, expressing his approval. Just now, in the illusion, the conditions put forward by Faceless One didn't seem to be a lie. If he was willing to make a deal with him, the benefits that he could get were immeasurable. Even if Holy Light Religion was severed, it was still a powerful first-rate organization in the Western Continent. If placed in Nine Regions, it was equivalent to Wang Lu having a high-rank immortal cultivation sect under his command! What Wang Lu needed to do was to pinch his nose and shake hands with Faceless One. After that, he would kill and bury those who should be killed and those who should be buried. There would be no impact, just pinching his nose.
However, Wang Lu didn't like it, so he refused. Moreover, it was a sincere refusal.
"Could it be that not knowing good from bad, disregarding gains and losses is the secret to pass the test?" Wang Lu couldn't help but laugh.
Golden King solemnly said, "Not wronging one's mind with the change of external things is the first step for a mortal to become a god."
Wang Lu curiously said, "If that's the case, that kind of brainlessness and unhappiness are not uncommon in the world. So, why are there only two people who can pass the final test and come to Beautiful Unique Pool Peak?"
Golden King said, "Can brainlessness and unhappiness pass the previous test of the sea of clouds? To be able to come here, one must be good at weighing the pros and cons, have a deep mind, and be resourceful … "
Upon hearing this, Wang Lu couldn't help but interrupt, "I think none of the people in my car can realize these conditions that you said."
Surprisingly, Golden King didn't care about Wang Lu's rudeness, but contemptuously said, "That's why they can't even open their eyes here, they are not qualified to witness this great mountain. They joined the test as your subordinates, even if they follow you to the end, they can only serve as a foil. "
"So that's how it is."
Golden King returned to the topic and said, "Only those who are resourceful and good at weighing the pros and cons can go to the end. However, the more intelligent and thoughtful the mortal bastards are, the more they can't resist the temptation of the last test. Therefore, I did not expect that you would actually be able to make it here. "
Wang Lu faintly smiled and said, "More or less, I have some luck."
Golden King said, "Then, let me ask you a question. If you have a very important and close person who died, and the one who mastered the method of resurrection was a treacherous villain that you have always disdained to pay attention to, would you trade with him in exchange for the resurrection of your close person? "
Wang Lu pondered for a long time and then said, "From my point of view, I don't like to do things by wronging my mind. If the one who mastered the method of resurrection is a treacherous villain, then he can master it, so I should be able to as well. I don't need to trade with him, I just need to find another way. However, I can't guarantee that if I encounter a similar situation, I can refuse every time. After all, there are too many things in the world that make people helpless. "
Golden King nodded, and his eyes showed more approval. "Yes, having the mind alone can't prove anything, but when you can stand at the peak of the mortal world, there will not be many situations that make you helpless. And at that time, whether you have the mind or not, will be the biggest dividing line between mortals and Gods."
"After I conquered Beautiful Unique Pool Peak and the sea of clouds at the foot of the mountain, I put it in my treasure house as a part of my champion's trial. During this period, I simplified many of the tests in the sea of clouds. But even so, for tens of thousands of years, you are the only one who can come to me."
"You have indeed proved your qualification. You are no longer a lowly and incompetent bastard, so I will also fully show the generosity of a king."
With that, Golden King stretched out his hand and grasped the void. A moment later, a square block slowly condensed in his hand.
"This is my reward for you."
Wang Lu stared at the block with some trepidation, thinking, 'Could it be that my reward for breaking through the boundary between mortals and Gods is the soap personally given by Golden King...'
