"Be careful of the calamities?" Li Xiang and Ji Yanqing looked at each other. Both of them had obviously heard something from the end of that sentence. Unfortunately, before he could finish, the Ji Family martial artist had been completely obliterated.
Was it referring to the Calamity Camp's conspiracy, or was it referring to a single calamity? Or was it … the Goddess of Calamity?
There were many possibilities, but unfortunately, there was no way to get the final answer.
"The other part must be the method to use the scroll." Ji Yanqing muttered to herself, then said to Li Xiang, "Just now, the ancestor said that we have to find the last remaining guardian of our Ji Family to get this scroll. After his reminder, there really is such a survivor in the family …"
"You don't even remember?" Li Xiang was quite curious. The Ji Family meant a lot to Ji Yanqing. She remembered the hatred of the tarot cards so thoroughly because she loved her family deeply enough. Every blade of grass, every tree, every flower, and every bird were important things that could not be erased from her memory.
Such a Ji Xianqing could actually miss out on a person.
"It's not that I don't remember. I just didn't include him." Ji Yanqing sighed and explained, "He's my Second Uncle. When I was very young, he was expelled from the family by my father. Second Uncle is also the only person in the last hundred years who was expelled by the head of the family. Even the family's ancestral records were erased.
"In the ancient martial arts family, we have a very strong sense of belonging to the family. Being erased from the family's records is a punishment even harsher than being killed." Ji Yanqing recalled the past. Her voice was drawn out. "I remember that I was only three or four years old at that time. My younger siblings were not even born yet. In my memory, Second Uncle was a young man who liked to smile. He was handsome and had a high talent for cultivation. My father especially doted on this younger brother of his. However, one day, he was interrogated by the family. It was said that he had secretly cultivated the ability to transform. This was the number one taboo in our family. Falling into the Calamity Camp was the most despicable thing. "
Under the influence of the Ji Family's ancestors, the Ji Family took on the heavy responsibility of atonement for the Seven Lineages of Ancient Martial Arts. They were extremely strict with themselves, especially forbidding their clansmen from getting involved in anything related to the disaster camp.
Ji Yanqing's second uncle was caught in the crossfire. Her father didn't want to kill his younger brother with his own hands, so he expelled him from the Ji family.
"At that time, Second Uncle was especially stubborn for the first time. He refused to admit his mistake even if he was going to die. Then, Father sent him to the magic users' court. It was said that he was later sent to the Great Wall of Calamity. You also know that the Great Wall of Disaster is even more terrifying than the border. Going there means certain death, so the family always treated him as dead. Later on, the family was attacked by … tarot cards. Second Uncle never appeared, so I always treated him as dead. "Ji Yanqing looked up. Her bright eyes were like full moons, emitting a faint light.
"So his departure was actually arranged by the ancestor?"
The Ji Family's ancestor's patience and foresight to have someone who had been forgotten by the world take on everything and protect that scroll was truly moving.
He was able to wait until the descendant of the Ji Family came to the World of Reincarnation before telling the truth about the scroll. Just this endurance in the face of loneliness was enough to make Li Xiang admire him.
His life was much, much more painful than King Loulan and the other six people. After several human eras, he finally waited for Ji Yanqing to receive his salvation.
"Now that we know the truth, things will be much easier. Once we get the scroll, even if it doesn't work, the scholars of the Chronometer Tower will be able to find the sealing technique. At that time, we'll have another trump card against the disaster." Li Xiang nodded and smiled.
The two of them tacitly agreed not to mention the sudden disappearance of the Ji Family's ancestor.
After dealing with the biggest problem, they once again charged back to the Ancient Capital. What they faced was a boundless army of mutants, as well as all kinds of disasters that covered the sky.
It was the end of the world, and countless lives were lost.
Under these circumstances, the trial-takers didn't have much of a choice. They could only fight to the death. When the Origin Substance Projection shattered, they would return to the Katashafi Committee and settle accounts.
"This isn't a trial at all. It's a massacre!" someone complained. Very quickly, their voices were drowned out by the endless waves.
Even though it was just an Origin Substance Projection, they could still feel pain, unease, panic, and many other negative emotions. The battle against the disaster camp was also very realistic. It could be said that the sudden bloody battle cast a shadow over many of the trial-takers' hearts.
War wasn't as beautiful as they thought it was. It was a synonym for blood and cruelty. Only a few people were able to accomplish great feats. Most people would be drowned in the waves of war, becoming a pile of dirt that no one cared about or knew about.
Li Xiang and Ji Yanqing were also buried in the final bloody battle. Without the strength to transcend, it was impossible to escape fate and destiny.
He watched as the enormous Ancient Capital of Loulan was destroyed, and the entire Loulan base sank under the howls of the disaster camp. Humans had become food for the disaster camp. His heart was incredibly heavy.
What was this?
He was waiting for the vegetables to mature so he could harvest them?
Li Xiang felt as if his body had been broken into countless pieces. His consciousness disappeared along with Loulan.
Speaking of which, wasn't this trial called the [Deep Sea Kingdom]? Why hadn't he seen a single drop of water?
Loulan was located at the border, and sand filled the sky. Calling it a [Desert Kingdom] was more like it …
Li Xiang cursed in his heart. He closed his eyes and waited for the trial to end.
However, he didn't return to the Origin Substance Clone Converter. Instead, his consciousness was immersed in the ruins.
The gentle sound of water rippling could be heard all around him.
[Nerve connection restarting, 15% … 25% …]
[Nerve connection restarting successfully. Creating projection …]
[Host Li Xiang, analysis complete. Backing up data …]
[Projection complete. Connecting to Deep Sea Kingdom.]
？？？
Just as Li Xiang was confused, the heavy sound of waves suddenly drowned him out.
.....
The ultimate trial.
The contractor this time was the famous family of the King of Shields from the Northern Continent, the Oakes Family. The King of Shields had been living in the Northern Continent for a very long time. Just like the Moon King, the King of Shields had never participated in the conflict with the White King. The King of Shields and the King of Winter had both left the Subcontinent because they were defeated. The King of Shields, on the other hand, had settled down in the Northern Continent a long time ago.
A few decades ago, the Shield King had issued a new law. Since then, the men of the Northern Lands had taken pride in training their bodies to be strong and sturdy, brave, and skilled in battle. Women, on the other hand, were known for their gentleness. The combination of a beautiful woman and a beast was popular in the Northern Lands.
There were four regions in the Northern Continent, and three Chronometer Tower Consortium Universities.
Ranked fifth was the [Shield of Humanity] in the first region of the Northern Continent.
Ranked fourteenth was the [War College] in the first region of the Northern Continent.
Ranked seventeenth was the [Dark Coat of Arms] in the fourth region of the Northern Continent.
The [Dark Coat of Arms] didn't participate in the ultimate trial. The other two universities were the targets of many participants.
This time, the Shield King took over the ultimate trial. Many people were guessing what kind of competition it would be. After all, in the last ultimate trial, Wessex directly placed the battle zone in their hunting world. They even created such a large map. It was the first ultimate trial in history.
Baimiya, who was the champion, gradually rose to prominence. The participants who could participate in the ultimate trial were all shining in their respective universities. A few of them even made it to the School Championship Tournament.
From this, it could be seen that Wessex's Ultimate Trial was excellent in its selection, and it was also very entertaining to watch. Naturally, countless people began to compare it to the Shield King's.
But no one expected that the Shield King would place the trial in the fourth region of the Northern Continent!
The region closest to the Great Wall of Disaster.
When it was first proposed, it was firmly opposed by the Referees and other forces.
Even the magicians who had been around the seven continents for a long time didn't want to set foot in the region near the Great Wall of Disaster, let alone the fledglings who hadn't even entered university.
If a xenogeneic came out of nowhere and killed him, he'd lose everything he'd invested.
But the Shield King, one of the five kings, shouldered the pressure alone. The other four kings remained silent. The Shield King used the name of the Oakes family as a guarantee and ignored the objections. He insisted on setting the final trial in this region.
This man was just like the giant shield engraved on his hand and his family's coat of arms. He was majestic and heavy. No one could break through his defense.
The Shield King admitted that the Oakes family didn't have as many resources as the other families. They also weren't as rich as the Wessex family. The Northern Continent was barren, and the Oakes family didn't develop their wealth. They were the least popular of the five kings.
The Yue family was favored because of their many beauties, but the Oakes family's reputation didn't spread beyond the Northern Continent.
But when he slowly described the rules and rewards of this ultimate trial, everyone fell silent. No one dared to raise any objections.
The content of this ultimate trial was simple. The Shield King would bury his personal badges all over the trial site. The contestants would collect them in a frenzy within seven days. Finally, they would combine them and claim the rewards from the Shield King himself!
The Oakes family didn't have many amazing features. No matter what they competed with, they were inferior to the other kings and the other three forces. The Shield King used his personal treasure vault as a reward to encourage the new generation to fight for it!
That was the treasure vault of a Level-9 pinnacle player!
The fact that he was able to selflessly sacrifice himself was truly moving.
The trial site was set here so that the Oakes family could take care of the contestants.
The Shield King had dedicated his life to fighting against the disaster. The Oakes family was the same. Although they weren't famous in the seven continents, they were the backbone of the resistance against the disaster.
Countless people at the Great Wall of Disaster and the borders had been taken care of by the Oakes family. They were very grateful to the Shield King. In this ultimate trial, many players from these places came to protect the contestants to prevent any mutants from attacking them.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for the Oakes family to take care of the entire trial site. If there were any accidental injuries, the Oakes family's reputation as one of the five kings would be ruined.
The content of this trial was simple and crude, but it was very interesting.
What the referees saw were countless battles of wits and courage, as well as exciting battles.
With the protection of these players, they could fight as they pleased. Without breaking the rules, they could display their full combat strength.
Li Yetong ran through the wasteland at high speed with a heavy spear in her arms. Ever since she could move her legs, she had fallen in love with the feeling of running.
Her eighteen years of paralysis had made her want to run everything she had lost in one go. She had rejected the Origin Form transportation provided by her family. She had only brought a normal Origin Form gun with her.
After passing through the ruins of a small town, she quickly reached the inner regions of the continent.
After a few days of trial, Li Yetong could clearly sense that the Shield King would assign more badges to the more dangerous areas and the more valuable they would be.
Although there weren't any enemies from the Disaster Faction here, there were quite a few foreign races hiding here. Most of them were wanted criminals who had escaped from their own small worlds. They hid at the edge of the human continent and lived the lives of hunters.
These wanted criminals were generally around the strength of a Level-1 Magic Apprentice. Some of them could even reach Level-3 Magic Apprentices. To those who had just graduated, they were very frightening enemies.
But to her, they weren't worth mentioning.
Before entering the final trial, she had finally reached Level-1 Magic Apprentice. It had to be said that Bai Dongxue was very good at guiding people in cultivation.
Even Baimiya had just become a Level-2 Magic Apprentice. Many of her brother's Polar Night cohort were still at her level.
Li Yetong pursed her lips. Speaking of which, her life had been quite dramatic.
After eighteen years of suffering, she had suddenly come to the Bai family. After the Book of Prophecy had recognized her as its master, she had found out about her past. It turned out that the man sitting on the throne, silent and aloof, was her biological father.
No wonder he, who had always looked down on everyone else, cared so much about her.
In the past year, the White King had secretly come to see her no less than a hundred times.
Sometimes he would just sit there quietly and watch her read in her wheelchair, then quietly leave.
There were also days when he gave her pointers on cultivation.
In the Seven Continents, countless people longed for the guidance of the number one player. But here, as long as Li Yetong wanted to, she could immediately receive this treatment by sending a message.
Even Bai Dongxue didn't have this. He also didn't know that the White King had been silently taking care of her.
The more she received, the more uncomfortable she felt.
His actions were like he was making up for the responsibilities he hadn't fulfilled in the past eighteen years. It was more like he was remembering a dead woman.
The way he looked at her, half of it was looking at someone else.
She was the fruit of incest.
This was something that Li Yetong couldn't accept at all at first.
But when she thought about how she and her brother weren't real siblings, she felt a little happy.
In a year, she had become a Level-1 Magic Apprentice from being unable to walk. Her speed was still increasing, but as her strength increased, the mark left by that woman became more obvious.
The Book of Prophecy was a manifestation of her omniscience, an ability she had inherited.
But the more she used it, the more afraid Li Yetong felt.
And this was only a part of her omniscience. Bai Lili, just how scary was she?
She shook her head and her thoughts flew away. Her twin ponytails danced in the wind. She drove away these random thoughts and suddenly stopped.
She had been running for so long, but the guy behind her was still waiting patiently and didn't make a move.
She had underestimated him.
Li Yetong had chosen this deserted path to lure the person behind her to make a move, but the other party's endurance was clearly beyond her imagination.
This guy was a bit tricky.
