Chen Tian walked through the oasis, looking left and right. Who knew where the trial was? If it weren't for Chen Tian's precise calculations, he might not have found the Sea Spirit by the pool. Chen Tian spoke, "Sea Spirit, do you know the other trial locations?"
"I do! But Master, I can't tell you. You need to find them yourself. If you are the fated one, you will find them 100%. If not, you'll never find them, no matter how hard you try."
"Besides, even if you find them, if you don't get the recognition of those few, they won't let Master enter the trials if you're not the fated one."
"So that's how it is."
Chen Tian wasn't discouraged. Instead, he felt energized. The condition for passing this level was quite long, not unlike a small quest. Chen Tian arrived at a forest and sensed a strange aura within. Chen Tian's lips curled up. Usually, when Chen Tian wore such a smile, something would happen. Chen Tian entered the forest. The Sea Spirit thought silently, 'This guy's luck is too insane. He found this place so quickly. But isn't there only one fated one?'
"I've already sworn allegiance to him, so he shouldn't be the fated one anymore. I can't understand this, my brain is going to explode."
The Sea Spirit decided not to think about it and take things one step at a time. The Sea Spirit didn't know that game settings were meaningless in front of Chen Tian. Chen Tian was an exceptional player, and some game settings were ineffective for him. This was the advantage of Chen Tian's mode. Chen Tian entered the forest. The lush green trees were covered with fruits. They looked like coconut trees, but upon closer inspection, there were some differences. Chen Tian couldn't quite place it. Chen Tian's intuition told him there was definitely something here. Chen Tian always trusted his intuition.
In the desert, Sen Sha's figure was fending off a desert giant. The giant in front of him was tall and massive. Even after Sen Sha attacked, its body could quickly recover. The endless sand would repair its body. Sen Sha felt that the giant was difficult to deal with and didn't expect it to be so troublesome. Sen Sha's long saber fell, directly severing the giant's desert arm. The arm recovered again, as good as new. Sen Sha's mindset was somewhat explosive. How could this be fought? Its HP didn't drop at all while it kept recovering.
Sen Sha faced the desert giant's fist and quickly dodged. The ground directly cracked open. The terrifying power was something Sen Sha dared not withstand. The desert giant in front of him had attributes that matched Sen Sha, even their levels were the same. However, the desert giant's recovery ability was too heaven-defying. Sen Sha couldn't inflict effective damage, to the point that the desert giant was still at full health. The desert giant's attack methods were very simple: swinging its enormous fists down like covering the sun and moon, aiming to engulf Sen Sha. If Sen Sha reacted even a second slower, he would have to take the hit. The attack range was too vast, requiring him to dodge preemptively.
Fortunately, Sen Sha's speed was extremely fast. If it were another player, they would be left with critical health from one punch. Sen Sha's figure flickered and instantly disappeared. He reappeared behind the giant and continuously slashed at its back with his long saber, creating crisscrossing wounds. The wounds recovered the next second. The desert giant turned and swung its fist. Sen Sha dodged. This punch was not only powerful but also fast, which was simply unreasonable.
This was only the second level, and it was already so difficult. Sen Sha really didn't know what the game designers were thinking. Sen Sha moved to the side and thrust his long saber, aiming for the desert giant's chest. Sen Sha didn't believe this guy was immortal. It was impossible for a boss that couldn't be defeated to exist. The long saber pierced into the desert giant's body. Sen Sha, before the desert giant could swing its fist, channeled energy into the long saber. The energy passed through the saber and into the desert giant's body. The desert giant's body showed cracks, and the condensed sand began to fall off.
Seeing that this move was effective, Sen Sha increased the energy flow. Finally, the entire desert giant's body disintegrated, and the desert returned to its original state. A vortex condensed, signifying the completion of this level.
Sen Sha took a deep breath. As expected, attacking from the outside was ineffective. It had to be dismantled from within. The idea Sen Sha just had was something he was just trying out, and it seemed he had guessed correctly.
Sen Sha stepped into the vortex. This was the final level. As long as he passed it, he would complete the mission.
Chen Tian walked through the forest, circling around. Chen Tian stopped and stood in place. Chen Tian realized he was still going in circles. The surrounding environment was different from when he entered, but the trees were the same. Chen Tian looked at the trees in front of him. This was the same tree Chen Tian had seen before. Chen Tian released his senses, and scenes appeared in his mind. Divine fire ignited on Chen Tian's palm, burning fiercely. The surrounding trees began to tremble. Chen Tian said indifferently, "If you don't come out, I'll burn down the entire forest."
"Don't! I'll come out, okay?"
A petite girl walked out from within the trees. Chen Tian put away his divine fire. The girl in front of him looked like a wood elf. Chen Tian was sure this was a wood elf, and even an elf from the Divine Realm. But that shouldn't be the case! The elves shouldn't awaken at this time. No wonder Chen Tian had sensed other auras before.
The wood elf looked at Chen Tian with fear, not daring to move, trembling all over. After all, she had just been born and didn't understand the world, so it was natural for her to be afraid of people. Chen Tian said kindly, "Why are you here? Aren't the elves in slumber?"
"Ah! I don't know. Lin'er is a newly born wood elf. Lin'er is not a bad person. Don't catch Lin'er."
Chen Tian was stunned when he heard Lin'er's words. For a spirit to be born at this time, given the extent of the Divine Realm's damage, the probability of a spirit being born was extremely low. Chen Tian had actually encountered one. Chen Tian touched his forehead. It seemed like another troublesome matter.
Chen Tian gently stroked Lin'er's cheek. Lin'er suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, as if there was an aura on Chen Tian that could calm her down. Chen Tian had interacted with elves before and knew how to soothe them. Chen Tian said, "Lin'er, come with me. I'll take you to find your kin, okay?"
"Okay."
Chen Tian nodded, then looked around. He decided to handle the elf's matter first. His body split into a clone. Chen Tian instructed, "Search for clues here. I'll be back soon."
"Okay."
Chen Tian waved his arm, and a spacetime black hole condensed. Chen Tian pulled Lin'er towards the spacetime black hole. The black hole closed, and Chen Tian's clone continued to walk in the forest. Chen Tian's main body might not be able to tell the difference, but his clone was different. As the clone walked through the forest, it carefully observed the surrounding trees and then headed in a certain direction.
Chen Tian's clone also had the ability to think. Chen Tian's main body didn't know when he would be able to come out of that place. In the meantime, he would let the clone search for clues.
In the desert, Sen Sha arrived at the third level. A voice echoed from above, "Level three: travel to the Desert Temple and obtain its recognition. There will be ambushes along the way, so be careful."
Sen Sha exhaled. Finally, it wasn't a battle right from the start. After continuous fighting, Sen Sha was somewhat fatigued. He took out food and water to replenish his physical strength first. He wanted to rest for a while, as the other party hadn't mentioned any time limit for the trial, so there was no rush.
Sen Sha missed Chen Tian's room, where he could sleep soundly. Sleeping in the desert was always unsafe, especially since they had warned him to be careful of dangers.
Sen Sha dared not sleep. He dared not sleep. After passing the trial, he would find Chen Tian and have a good sleep.
After two days of replenishment, Sen Sha returned to his full strength and headed in a certain direction in the desert. To be honest, Sen Sha didn't even know the location of the Desert Temple. He chose a path randomly and headed north.
His figure slowly disappeared into the desert. In a special space, Chen Tian and Lin'er appeared. Chen Tian looked at the road ahead and was about to step onto it when a figure stopped him. It was an old man, an elder of the elf tribe.
The old man spoke, "May I ask why the Divine Lord has come here? It is not yet time to enter our elves' sleeping grounds."
"I know. I've come to give this child to you. She's a newly born wood elf, and it's better for your elf tribe to raise her."
"Remarkable. After the great battle, the Divine Realm is so damaged, yet you can still condense such a pure wood elf. Divine Lord, rest assured, I will raise her well."
The old man bowed, showing respect to Chen Tian. Their elf tribe would not have gone extinct without the Divine Lord's help.
Chen Tian nodded, and a spacetime vortex appeared behind him. His figure disappeared.
Chen Tian did not want to interfere with the elf tribe.
It had nothing to do with Chen Tian anyway. Chen Tian's figure returned to the forest. This trip back and forth took three whole days. Chen Tian's face was pale. Even Chen Tian dared not easily open the sleeping grounds. He needed to be careful next time and find a place to recover first.
