Light and darkness intertwined. Following the guidance of the Hope Scepter, Grimm arrived at this land of bones that looked no different from the others.
"Is it still asleep?"
Although there were already a few figures gathered on the land of bones, there were no Coffin Raisers that Grimm was familiar with. Clearly, they were just challengers who came early to wait for the start of the gathering. There were a total of seven people, which was not a large number. It seemed that it was still early.
Green's arrival attracted a few people's attention. That undisguised energy fluctuation was really too majestic and vast.
"Hmm … Then let's wait a little longer."
Muttering to himself, Grimm actually sat down on the ground and fell into a deep sleep in a state that was close to meditation.
In the long period of time, Grimm had done all the experiments that he could do within his knowledge reserves. Other than the activation of the Seventh Level Wild Instinct Humanoid Transformation of the Key of Life, and some experiments that could not be carried out due to the lack of resources from the Dimensional Food Path, everything else had reached Grimm's personal limit.
As for the research of the Key of Life, Grimm's progress needed some time to select and cultivate the specimens. It was also not something that could be completed in a short period of time.
Grimm could not have imagined that he would be in a state of slumber like a passively evolved creature.
Reality had proven that this was the process of being digested by the endless world. It was irreversible and unavoidable. No matter how much he obtained, if he could not leave this place, he would only be an ancient treasure in the eyes of future generations. It was meaningless.
…
The gathering place of the Coffin of Hope was not very famous.
This was because it was not like the Perforation Gate where hundreds or thousands of exiles gathered for a long time. Here, there was only a customary gathering that happened once every thousand years. The four Coffin Raisers were stationed there for a long time, waiting for a stronger person to appear and replace the weaker Coffin Raisers to open the Coffin of Hope.
On this day, the gathering that happened once every thousand years had arrived.
"Hmm … Another thousand years have passed. I hope there will be some surprises this time."
The Poisonous Fiery Centipede woke up from its slumber. The first thing it felt was an overwhelming sense of boredom, boredom, and despair. It was a dark future that could not escape the fate of being digested by the Dimensional Esophagus. Sometimes, it really wanted to sleep forever and never have to face this cruel reality again.
However, this thought only flashed past.
How could a true expert be weak?
With a poof, the Poisonous Fiery Centipede's elemental energy body turned into dark red smoke from deep underground. It floated up through the cracks between the bones and the earth, gradually gathering into the shape of a centipede that was more than ten meters long. The dark red elemental body had a pair of dark green eyes, and it appeared as the last Coffin Raiser.
"Oh, the number of challengers this time seems to be much fewer than in the past. I hope I didn't wake up for nothing again."
The Poisonous Fiery Centipede glanced around and saw that there were less than two hundred challengers. Suddenly, it noticed that the paper doll beside it didn't respond to it. This was truly strange. Compared to the Demon Doll and Impermanence Monster, the paper doll should be the most gentle of the four Coffin Raisers.
Astonished, Zhang Xuan looked down and saw that the one-meter-tall paper doll, which was made of paper scraps of different colors, was staring intently in another direction. The Demon Doll and the Impermanence Monster were doing the same!
"Hmm? That is … "
The Poisonous Fiery Centipede looked in that direction. Even though there were more than twenty exiles in different shapes and sizes, including a mountain rock monster that was more than a few hundred meters in size and too bloated in the Dimensional Esophagus, they still couldn't stop the mysterious figure of light and darkness.
Even though its energy state was in the most stable and peaceful state of slumber, it was still like a volcano that could erupt at any time. The Poisonous Fiery Centipede had no doubt that this terrifying fellow would explode with energy that could destroy the world in the next moment!
"He's finally back …"
The paper doll murmured to itself, causing the Poisonous Fiery Centipede to gasp in shock. "Who is he? The energy reaction is so strong. These exiles are like candlelight under the scorching sun. No wonder less than half of the exiles in the past have gathered here. I'm afraid that if they sensed the existence of this fellow's power, they would have run away in fear. "
"I'm no match for him."
The Impermanence Monster, who rarely spoke, suddenly spoke after the Poisonous Fiery Centipede.
It was as white as milk, in an unstable jelly-like state. More than a dozen scarlet tentacles stretched out from its milky white body and floated in the air. It was unknown what this Impermanence Monster looked like.
"A few eras ago, when the two Coffin Raisers beside me and the demon doll were still two different people, they should be the Coffin Raisers of the previous generation. They were the Guzi Skeleton Monster and the Four-armed Blade Warrior. And this mysterious existence who called himself the Annihilation Wizard, strangely escaped from the Dimensional Gap when the rules of the Dimensional Gap became chaotic. At that time, his aura was not strong, and he had no intention of challenging the Coffin Raisers. He left the gathering place, but I didn't expect … "
After a pause, the paper doll was shocked and excited. "It's been more than forty thousand years. I didn't expect him to really come back and have such great power! I've finally held on until this moment. With him and the demon doll, this time we have hope of ascending the coffin! "
The paper doll's Soul Will had begun to show signs of weakening. At most, it could barely hold on for another one or two thousand years.
The Dimensional Gap!
The hope of ascending the coffin!
Hearing that the Annihilation Wizard had actually appeared from the Dimensional Gap, the fiery centipede and the Impermanence Monster couldn't help but tremble. As the gathering place of the Coffin of Hope, which triggered the phenomenon of the Dimensional Gap once every thousand years, the two of them were naturally very familiar with the absurd, inexplicable, and real illusory place that was even more terrifying than the Dimensional Esophagus.
They knew what it meant to be able to escape from that place. It was not something that a normal life form could imagine.
As for the hope of ascending the coffin …
When the long-awaited situation finally appeared, the fiery centipede, the Impermanence Monster, and even the paper doll fell silent. Since the Annihilation Wizard had appeared and was going to participate in the Coffin Raiser Challenge, it meant that one of the Coffin Raisers would be replaced.
And this person would definitely be one of the three!
"It's about time."
The demon doll with half of its body destroyed said in a low voice. There was a trace of excitement in its voice?
Compared to the first time Grimm saw the demon doll, the destroyed half of the demon doll's body had obviously spread out. Only less than half of its face was left, and the other half of its body was barely covered in a few wisps of black smoke. It looked terrifying, and anyone who saw it could not help but feel their heart palpitate.
"Then let's begin!"
After the paper doll finished speaking, it murmured excitedly.
After that, the four of them glanced at each other, and one by one, they scattered and disappeared into the ground, activating the array specially designed for the Coffin of Hope.
…
Grimm, who had been asleep for more than a hundred years, suddenly opened his tri-colored eyes. He could keenly sense that there was a huge emotion collecting device under the Skeleton Land.
"Is it going to begin?"
Everyone sensed it and looked up at the gray misty sky.
