The town's attack on the nearby demon beasts went quite smoothly.
This was quite normal.
Although the demonic beasts were powerful, that was only in the eyes of ordinary people. Although they were still very destructive to the army, they were no longer unstoppable.
To a true Sorcerer like Chen Heng, the so-called demon beasts were not much. Apart from a few powerful demon beasts, he could casually kill other demon beasts and did not pose much of a threat.
Moreover, there were also Ali and Jacdo, two big shots, within the town.
— — — —
There was no need to say much about Ali. He was a hero candidate, and if there were no accidents, he would be the future hero of this era. He represented the positive power of faith in this world, and apart from the demon king, no one would be able to match up to him.
Even though he had not truly passed the trial and become a hero, he was already incredibly powerful. Within the entire world, there were very few existences that could oppose him.
This was even more so for Jacdo.
This was the true Demon King, the ruler of all demonic creatures in this world, the true powerhouse of this world.
If the hero did not appear, no one in this world would be a match for the demon king.
With these two powerful beings present, the demon beasts would most likely cry and would not be able to resist at all.
As such, Chen Heng did not worry too much about the demon beasts, and he did not feel that anything unexpected would happen.
It should be said that it would be strange if an accident happened.
At this moment, his focus had already been placed somewhere else.
"The hero's legacy …"
Within a quiet room, Chen Heng hugged a large pile of items as he diligently read through them.
Over the past half a year, he had used his connections to buy some books.
During this time, he had collected all of the books that were worth collecting, fulfilling one of his hobbies.
There were simply too many books, and Chen Heng naturally could not finish reading them all. As such, he could only choose what he wanted to read.
After talking with Jacdo and understanding some things, Chen Heng changed his focus from the battle between the hero and demon king to the hero's trial.
Over the past few days, he had looked through a large amount of information and had made some headway.
It seemed that this world's heroes were not destined to be heroes; they had to pass the trial.
Only by passing the hero's trial and inheriting the power of past heroes could one become a true hero.
It was roughly the same as what Jacdo had said.
It seemed like he wasn't lying about this.
What about other aspects?
Chen Heng sank into his thoughts.
Chen Heng's plan was to follow behind the hero and watch as he defeated the Demon King before looking for an opportunity to leave this world.
However, based on what Jacdo had said, if he wanted to leave this world, he could not do this.
Not only could he not be a hero, but he also had to participate in the hero's trial and become a true hero of this era. He had to become one of the main characters of this era and defeat the demon king that represented negative faith energy to complete this trial and leave this world.
Otherwise, even if he followed behind the hero and watched the entire process, he would not be able to leave this world.
"If I want to leave this world, I'll need the power of a Hero …"
Chen Heng frowned, "If you want the hero's power, you need to participate in a trial and compete with others, including Ali.
Competing with the other Hero candidates in this world was not part of his original plan.
According to his original plan, he only wanted to follow Ali and fish in troubled waters to see if he could find a way to leave this world.
However, according to what Jacdo had said, not only would he not be able to follow behind Ali, but he would also have to openly compete with Ali and the others.
This was truly …
Thinking back to Ali's boundless Fortune, Chen Heng could not help but inwardly shake his head.
The so-called hero's trial was said to be a competition, but from how Chen Heng saw it, it was already decided.
With Ali's majestic Heaven's Will, he was definitely the Hero of this era.
If there were no unexpected factors, with Ali's powerful Fortune energy, he would definitely be able to pass the hero's trial and become the hero of this era.
To compete with such a person and compete with him for the position of hero, one could only imagine how difficult it would be.
Very, very difficult.
Even Chen Heng could not help but feel a headache when thinking about this.
At the same time, he thought about the loopholes in Jacdo's words.
"If I do as he says, will there be any hidden dangers that he can take advantage of?"
Sitting on the exquisite wooden chair, this thought flashed through his mind in the blink of an eye.
One could not look at things on the surface; one had to see what the other party's goal was.
Chen Heng thought for a long time but could not come to a conclusion.
From what he knew, it did not seem that participating in the hero's trial would make much of a difference.
If Chen Heng went to the hero's trial, there would only be two outcomes: he would either succeed or fail.
If he failed, everything would be the same. Chen Heng would just follow behind Ali and do as he had planned.
If he succeeded, Chen Heng would replace Ali and become this world's hero. To Jacdo, it would be the same.
Based on the current situation, after passing the hero's trial and becoming this era's hero, he would be able to inherit the power of past heroes and truly take on this world's faith energy.
The hero was just a vessel, and whether it was Ali or Chen Heng, there was not much of a difference.
In fact, if Chen Heng inherited the hero's legacy, the power he would be able to unleash would be even greater.
Even though the power would be the same, the vessel's power was not the same.
Ali was just an ordinary person; he was not a Knight or a Sorcerer; he was just an outstanding warrior.
On the other hand, Chen Heng was a true Sorcerer.
The difference in their foundational battle power was simply too great.
If Chen Heng inherited the hero's legacy, the power he would be able to unleash would definitely surpass Ali's and be able to unleash even greater power.
However, this was not beneficial to Jacdo.
From this perspective, Jacdo most likely did not lie when he told Chen Heng about this.
That was assuming that he did not hide anything.
Sitting on the wooden chair, Chen Heng continuously thought to himself and made a decision.
He had decided to participate in the hero's trial.
Apart from what Jacdo had said, Chen Heng also had his own reasons for making this decision.
"If you want us outsiders to enter this world just to watch the story of the hero fighting the demon king, why do you need to create such a big scene?"
Chen Heng thought to himself.
What he knew was that this little world had been set up by a powerful existence to conduct some sort of experiment and nurture someone who could inherit the hero's legacy.
Since that was the case, there had to be a reason why this powerful existence was continuously taking in outsiders.
There was a certain part of the operation of this world that required the participation of outsiders like them.
Otherwise, why would they go through so much effort?
This world looked like a world for the demon king and the hero, but in actuality, the core of this world was the outsiders.
Only when outsiders entered would the story of the hero fight the demon king begin, and the demon king would awaken from his slumber and reappear in this world.
The demon king awakening, the demon disaster erupting, the rise of the hero … these things would only happen after outsiders entered this world.
It was obvious that the most important people in this world had always been the group of outsiders.
Since they were so important, it was evident that this world did not recruit outsiders to let them witness all of this or follow behind the hero to do odd jobs.
In the process of the entire world's operation, outsiders like them would definitely need to participate in some of the processes.
Otherwise, there was no way to explain all of this.
It was because of this that Chen Heng made his decision.
If he followed his previous plan and followed behind Ali to fight the Demon King, then it would be equivalent to doing nothing.
Ali had already done everything to suppress the Demon King. What was the point of an outsider like him just sitting on the sidelines and watching the show?
Only by participating in the hero's trial and bearing this world's faith energy and becoming a part of this world would he be able to fulfill the conditions and leave this world.
Moreover, Jacdo had said this before.
The reason this world had been created was to find people with enough potential to inherit the hero's legacy.
This was the most fundamental and only goal.
According to what Jacdo had said, only by obtaining the hero's legacy and bearing this world's faith energy would one have the right to leave.
Since it was like this, Chen Heng had to try no matter what.
Thinking to there, Chen Heng's expression became calm as he made his decision.
.....
In the peace, time passed slowly.
Within the dense forest, Ali slashed out with his sword, cutting a large demon beast in front of him in half.
The mercenaries behind him immediately cried out, feeling quite shocked at Ali's power.
Although they were mercenaries, most of them were still normal people. Only a few of them were special. Their strength could only contend with ordinary demonic beasts. It was impossible for them to be like Ali, who could easily kill demonic beasts.
Those powerful demonic creatures were as weak as insects to Ali, and he could crush them to death with a wave of his hand.
No matter what, powerful and outstanding people would always be the center of attention.
In this group of mercenaries, Ali was very popular and received many people's attention.
"Not bad."
Elsewhere, Jacdo led his group of demon king believers to the front.
He wore a clean black robe and looked quite dignified. He did not look like he had come to fight and instead looked like a gentleman on a vacation.
Behind him, the demon king believers all looked incredibly ferocious and had powerful battle strength.
Normally, they would not be so bad, but if any demon beasts dared to charge at them, they would be easily beaten to the ground. They were not a match for them at all.
However, different from Ali, the mercenaries kept a respectful distance from Jacdo's group.
There was no helping it.
This group of people didn't look like good people at first glance. Each of them looked as terrifying as they could get.
Apart from Jacdo, who looked quite normal, the other demon king followers did not look like normal people and instead looked like evil people.
Of course, in actuality, they were evil people.
If it wasn't for Jacdo restraining them and using the demon king's power to suppress them, the first thing they would do after coming here would be to wreak havoc.
There would not be any accidents.
The demon king believers were just that different from each other.
Within the mercenary group, apart from Ali, some people could sense the existence of faith energy and felt quite wary towards the negative faith energy around the demon king believers.
Of course, even if they could not sense it, just by looking at the demon king believers, they could tell that they were not good people.
As such, compared to Ali, even though Jacdo and his group were quite powerful, not many mercenaries were willing to come into contact with them.
However, Jacdo did not seem to mind.
As for the demon king believers behind him, there was no need to say much about them.
"So powerful …"
Standing by the side, Jacdo's robes fluttered in the wind as he looked at Ali in the distance, a look of amazement on his face, "Out of all the heroes in history, he's quite outstanding."
As the demon king, Jacdo had seen many things.
To ordinary people, he had personally seen heroes that only existed in legends, and he had seen more than one.
More accurately speaking, he had seen all of the heroes that had appeared since ancient times.
After all, the goal of all heroes was to defeat him, the demon king.
If they wanted to defeat him, they naturally had to walk up to him and meet him. Otherwise, how could they fight?
To ordinary people, this was just a legend, but to Jacdo, it was a true story.
In the past, he had seen many heroes, and their personalities and specialties were all different.
However, in his impression, before he inherited the Hero's legacy, there were not many heroes who could compare to Ali.
If there were no accidents, after Ali inherited the hero's legacy, in terms of strength, he would definitely be one of the most powerful heroes in history.
However, this batch of foreign trial-takers seemed to be unprecedentedly outstanding.
He just didn't know what kind of interesting things would happen when the two of them competed and collided with each other.
Jacdo felt quite expectant and could not help but smile as he inwardly looked forward to it.
He wanted to see the scene of Chen Heng and Ali clashing in the trial.
When that time came, it would definitely be quite interesting.
As Jacdo thought to himself, the smile on his face became even wider.
"What evil thoughts is that evildoer thinking?"
Not too far away, sensing Jacdo's gaze and seeing the smile on his face, Ali inwardly frowned as he thought to himself.
After talking to Chen Heng that day, he temporarily gave up on attacking Jacdo and instead began to monitor him, wanting to find evidence of him committing crimes.
However, what surprised him was that after coming to this town, Jacdo and his group had been quite calm. They usually strolled around and looked at their surroundings, and when they fought, they were just like other mercenaries, putting in effort and getting paid.
From the looks of it, it seemed like he was really here to help the town clear out the monsters.
However, how was that possible?
He was all too clear about the nature of this group of evil people.
In the past, Ali had seen countless evil people.
All of them had one thing in common, which was that they had terrible personalities and loved to cause trouble.
If such an evil person were to sneak into a peaceful village, it would immediately change into a different state, and all kinds of tragedies would occur.
In the past, the evil people that Ali saw only appeared one by one.
But this time, they didn't appear one by one, but in a group.
Normally speaking, this meant that they were preparing to do something big, or else they would not have come so obediently.
This was not a special place. It was just an ordinary town. What good could come from the arrival of this group of evil people?
It was because of this that he had been on guard during this period of time. He had been paying attention to Jacdo's group at all times in order to find evidence that they were planning to commit a crime and get rid of them.
However, it was evident that Jacdo and his group were much more obedient than he had expected. After such a long time, they had not shown any signs of doing anything.
However, the more they acted like this, the more Ali felt that they were plotting something big, so he did not dare to let his guard down.
Standing there and sensing Ali's wary gaze, Jacdo only smiled and did not mind. Instead, he felt that it was quite interesting.
No matter how much time had passed, seeing a hero obediently standing in front of him, looking as if he wanted to act but was holding back, was quite interesting.
This was quite a spectacle.
In the past, whenever a hero saw Jacdo, they would immediately act.
For Jacdo to be able to endure for so long, he was quite patient.
Behind Jacdo, sensing Ali's gaze, the demon king worshippers' expressions became savage, and killing intent appeared in their eyes.
As demon king worshippers, they were not simple at all. They all had negative faith energy and were hated and cursed by many people.
People like them were the most sensitive to faith energy, and they had long since sensed the mountain-like and resplendent faith energy from Ali's body.
