Chapter 1736 The Final Trial Begins!
Cai Kun nudged Bai Hang and winked, "Brother Bai, you're drooling."
He knew Bai Hang was embarrassed, so he spoke up for him:
"Leader, I think this outfit is a perfect match for Bai Hang. He's our magic cannon. Wearing this, wouldn't he be able to blast half the sky down with one shot?"
"Cough cough cough."
Bai Hang coughed lightly and glared at Cai Kun, but the expectation in his eyes was unmistakable.
He looked at Ye Chuyun, opened his mouth, but then felt unworthy of such a precious set.
Ye Chuyun took in everyone's reactions, smiled, and carried the entire [Heart of Ten Thousand Machines] set to Bai Hang.
"White Flight".
"Alliance Leader!" Bai Hang immediately straightened up.
"This set of equipment provides some benefits, but it is not necessary for me."
He pushed the suit forward.
"Take this, and I hope it will help you go further on the path of a mage."
Bai Hang was stunned, and his nose suddenly felt sore.
Without any pretense, he solemnly accepted the Mechanical Heart suit with both hands.
"Leader, I will certainly live up to your expectations."
After saying that, Bai Hang immediately put on the suit.
The set consists of seven pieces and automatically adjusts to fit perfectly when worn.
After he put on the suit, everyone looked at him in surprise.
This is completely different from before.
The original simple, even slightly messy, white robe has been replaced by this mechanical-looking suit.
A deep blue robe draped over his shoulders, automatically conforming to his slightly slender figure and highlighting his pale complexion.
The moment Bai Hang put it on, a surge of magical power flowed into his body, and at the same time, his perception and control of the elements increased at an astonishing rate.
He even had the illusion that a fireball he casually cast now might be twice as powerful as before.
Cai Kun clapped his hands and laughed, "That's more like it! Brother Bai, you'll have to put in more effort in the future."
The others also smiled and offered their congratulations.
"Alright, let's begin the final trial now." Ye Chuyun waved her hand.
"Ye Wen, you stay here. The rest of you, come with me."
Deep within the ancient god continent, the final road winds downwards.
Everyone obediently followed behind Ye Chuyun, chatting occasionally. Anyone who didn't know better would think they were on a spring outing.
Ye Chuyun wasn't in a hurry. She walked slowly at the front, occasionally turning around to chat with the others.
He also thoroughly enjoyed the fun times joking around with the members.
After about twenty minutes, the view ahead suddenly opened up.
A basin appeared at the edge of the field of vision.
The basin has a total volume of over ten kilometers and a smooth, mirror-like bottom.
There is a very conspicuous building inside the basin.
It was a rectangular, golden platform.
The platform's surface is covered with dense pits, clips, and countless tiny, barely discernible runes.
These structures together form a picture that looks quite bizarre.
On the platform, there is a square stone slab with sides of about fifty meters.
In the very center of the stone slab are five recessed keyholes.
The keyholes are not randomly arranged, but rather form a cross shape.
There is a larger hole in the center, and a smaller hole on each of the top, bottom, left, and right sides.
Each keyhole has a slightly different shape, corresponding to the unique teeth pattern of the five trial keys.
"This is it." Ye Chuyun led everyone to the platform, her eyes immediately locking onto the stone slab.
He could feel the key in his pocket getting slightly hot as it approached the stone slab.
The stone slab seemed to sense something, and the slightly larger hole in the center began to emit a faint light.
"Then, let's begin." Ye Chuyun took out her key.
The other four teams also took out the keys they had obtained from the trial.
"According to the location corresponding to the trial." Ye Chuyun looked at the keyhole on the stone slab.
He stepped forward, aligned the key with the central keyhole, and slowly inserted it.
Click.
The key fit perfectly, and a pale golden halo immediately lit up in the center of the stone slab.
“Then I must be the one on top.” Zu Long inserted the key into the hole above the stone slab.
A crimson light shone forth.
“I’m on the left.” Kurosawa stepped forward.
Moro and Ye Mingyu are on the right and below, respectively.
Now all five keys were inserted into the stone slab.
The moment the five keys were inserted, the entire gray-white stone slab burst forth with five-colored light.
Five-colored beams of light—red, gold, black, silver, and green—soared into the sky, forming a massive vortex that covered the entire basin.
In just a few breaths, the stone slab disappeared, replaced by five light gates standing side by side in the same spot.
"The final trial is about to begin." The voice echoed in everyone's minds once again.
"Before the ancient craftsman god fell, he sealed his last divine essence and legacy into the five major components formed from the remains of his divine body. Only by defeating the guardian fragments of the five components at the same time and causing them to fall into silence can the resonance of the divine body be triggered and the [Hand of Illusion] be reshaped."
“First, the five doors lead to separate spaces formed by the five major parts of the divine body: the head and torso, the left hand, the right hand, the left foot, and the right foot. In each space, a wisp of the Craftsman God’s soul controls a guardian formed by the part.”
"Second, the five guardians must be defeated simultaneously within a very short time. If the time interval is too long, the power of the defeated guardians will be infused into the other guardians through the remains of their divine bodies, multiplying their power until they become invincible."
"Third, after defeating the Guardian, a Silent Core will be generated in the space where it is located. Collect all five Silent Cores and perform the final fusion at the altar here."
"Fourth, the guardians of the divided souls are extremely powerful, and each of them possesses a certain characteristic of the God of Crafts. It is already difficult to deal with them individually, and even more so to fight them in coordination with them, requiring perfect understanding and timing."
"Trial participants, make your choice."
"Step through the gate of light, and the final trial will begin immediately!"
Ye Chuyun turned around to face all the members gathered behind her.
That's the rule of the Ancient God Continent: you have to defeat the boss of the Light Gate at the same time to clear the level.
This is one of the reasons why he gathered people to go to the Sky Continent.
Although he has clones, the clones cannot enter the portal; at least five people are needed to clear the level.
Ye Chuyun pointed to the five light gates: "Let's start assigning tasks now, based on the difficulty of the trial and the strengths of each of our teams."
"First squad, I'm alone, target: head and torso."
"This is the core of the God of Crafts, and the guardian is undoubtedly the strongest."
"The second team will be led by Senior Zu Long, with members Bai Hang, Xu Meng, Cai Kun, Tian Mengxue... Target: Left hand."
"Third squad, led by senior Kurosawa, members: Lei Chen, Wang Gang, Zhuang Liang, Qin Feng... Target: right hand."
"Fourth squad, led by Senior Moro, members: Hong Wanli, Lu Zhao, Liu Qian, Yun Hai... Target: left foot."
"Finally, there is the fifth team, led by Hongbao and Ye Mingyu, with members Qiao Shanyun, Chu Yunlan, and Xiong Yuntao... Target: right foot."
