Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 220 Black Hole Maze
At the foot of the giant peak shrouded in clouds and mist, thousands of trial participants were quietly looking at the white-haired woman in black robes in front of them.

"More than two thousand people..."

Lin Weiwei narrowed his eyes slightly.

Naturally, he had already discovered the large number of people taking part in this trial.

When he first arrived, there were only a few hundred people. Some of them had been waiting for more than two thousand years and had come to take part in the trial when the last Star God Trial ended.

After all, the interval between the Star God Trials depends only on when a new Star God position appears.

If the interval is short, there may be few trial takers, so you should join early to catch up.

In more than two thousand years, there were only a few hundred trial-takers.

But after he came, in just four or five hundred years, the number of trial-takers increased from a few hundred to more than two thousand.

This is obviously not normal.

Moreover, most of the trial participants were observing him as soon as they arrived, and it is very likely that they came just for him.

"Are you here specifically to deal with me? Or..." Lin Qing's eyes were slightly cold.

He also didn't expect that he would become so 'famous' in the Void Sea that he would attract so many trial-takers to take the initiative to participate in the Star God Trial.

"It has only been less than three thousand years since the last Star God Trial ended, and there are already more than two thousand people. This is quite rare."

The white-haired woman in black robes smiled as she swept her eyes over the many trial participants, as if she had seen through their purpose. "There are so many people. It reminds me of the time when I was taking the Star God Trial. It's really interesting..."

Most of the trial participants bowed their heads respectfully.

“Let’s take a look at the pattern of this Star God Trial.” The white-haired woman in black robe raised her hand. The giant peak behind her trembled slightly, and a stream of light suddenly flew out from the depths of the endless clouds.

I saw a stream of light falling and turning into a green copper key like a sword in her hand, and at the same time a message came.

"Oh?"

The white-haired woman in black robe smiled. "It seems that many of you have taken the initiative to learn about the past Star God Trials, so that there are new tricks this time?"

As she spoke, the green copper key in her hand also flew up along the mountain path.

The clouds that covered part of the mountain road above slowly dissipated, revealing a winding mountain road.

Lin Qing then discovered that as he went up the mountain path, he could see dozens of forks on the path. Only one of them was fully visible at this moment. Moreover, as he went deeper along this fork, he saw more forks on the path, but only one of them was visible as the others were still hidden in the clouds.

“Follow me up the mountain.”

The white-haired woman in black robe took a step forward and disappeared without a trace.

The many trial participants did not dare to delay and immediately went up the mountain path in silence.

After a while, more than 2,000 people reached the end of the fork in the road, where they could see a huge gate made entirely of green copper. A large number of mysterious and complicated patterns were visible on the gate, and the key was inserted into the hole on the gate.

"Behind this door is the preliminary round of this trial."

The white-haired woman in black robe standing in front of the door glanced at everyone and said, "The preliminary stage is called the Black Hole Maze. It will test your will, understanding, luck... and ability to survive. Only those who can walk out of the maze alive are eligible to enter the God's Selection Stage."

At this point, a smile suddenly appeared on her lips: "Of course, as usual, as a new trial mode, there will also be some special rewards. Only the first trial participant to walk out of the maze is eligible to receive this reward."

Upon hearing this, most of the trial participants below had their eyes shining.

The Land of Priesthood is definitely the most important holy place for human beings in the entire universe. Human beings of countless civilizations have risen by relying on the priesthood, and all priesthoods are bestowed by the Land of Priesthood.

Countless races yearn to obtain the priesthood of the starry sky, but only humans are allowed to enter the priesthood land.

I'm afraid... only the only two fourth-level civilizations in the universe, the Void Gods and the Star Demons, don't care about the priesthood.

Special rewards for the priesthood?
At this moment, countless trial participants felt a desire in their hearts.

"The rules of the black hole maze are simple."

The white-haired woman in a black robe smiled and said, "In this maze, no matter which way you go, as long as you keep moving forward, you will definitely reach the end."

"At the end of every passage in the maze, there is a black hole that can stably tear apart space. Of course, these black holes have been transformed."

"When you enter the event horizon, in that dark void, in addition to resisting the heavy pressure of the space where the black hole is located, you also have to adapt to the ever-changing space. Your mind and will will also be affected by the absolute destruction and deathly silence of the black hole. The longer the time, the easier it is to be assimilated and have thoughts of self-destruction."

"The black holes at the end of each channel are different. The space inside is constantly twisting and changing, and the patterns of change are also different. It all depends on your understanding and judgment."

"At the same time, the black hole tests at the end of each passage have different focuses. Some focus more on understanding, some focus more on strength, and some focus more on will. If you are not sure you can pass through the black hole, you should leave in time and try other passages."

The white-haired woman in black robes looked at everyone. "Let me make it clear in advance. If you want to pass through these black holes, your willpower, understanding, strength... all aspects must at least reach a certain bottom line, otherwise you may die in them. If you want to live, just stand where you are and shout "give up". The maze will move you out in three seconds."

As she spoke, the huge door behind the white-haired woman in black robe slowly opened, revealing a dark cave entrance.

"After passing through this door, you will be randomly teleported to any point in the maze. As for whether the starting point is far or near to the end of the maze, it depends on your luck."

"Then... let's get started."

……

As the space changed, when Lin Qing's vision returned to normal, he found himself in a slightly dim space.

"Is this a maze passage?"

Lin Qing observed the surroundings and found that this so-called passage was surprisingly large.

Both the walls and the floor are made of green copper, the width is at least tens of thousands meters, and the height of the passage is nearly 10,000 meters.

In fact, for someone at his level, his speed in the starry sky can easily exceed the speed of light, and he cannot move within such a small range.

But the key point is that the gravity in this maze is extremely terrifying.

If a star clergyman is of average strength, he would probably only be able to walk in this maze.

Since the speed cannot be increased, the maze passage naturally appears to be very large.

Moreover, the free energy inside this maze is rather scarce, so it would probably be troublesome to recover the energy.

"I hope I'm the first one out of the maze."

Lin Qing naturally wanted to get the so-called special reward, but he also understood that this initial test still depended on luck. Even if he was confident in his own abilities, he was not very sure.

What if someone is lucky enough and is randomly teleported to the end of the maze? How can he compete with him then?
He had no way to deal with someone like Qi Lingxiao who had incredible luck.

On Earth, he also asked the Black Flame clone to explore the Silver Maze, but the Black Flame clone died countless times and was never able to get out of the Silver Maze, so naturally he did not get any rewards.

Obviously it was bad luck.

"Fortunately... as long as I can become a Star God, my luck will improve."

Lin Qing was very much looking forward to it and did not waste any time. The vertical eye between his eyebrows opened immediately, and the black flame clone flew out from the space channel.

"Combined!"

The black flame clone immediately turned into a hazy light and merged into his body. His aura suddenly increased.

Without burning his life, the fusion technique can double his strength. When the battle needs to break out, the black flame clone can just burn.

"Then there is... the World God."

Accompanied by the explosion of endless dark golden energy, it gathered and formed a world god that was more than two thousand meters tall.

With its larger size and energy, it can withstand even more astonishing gravity and consumes even more terrifying energy.

"Fortunately, the World God's Complete Body can withstand it..."

Lin Qing immediately took a step forward and strode forward along the passage. The World God was more than two thousand meters tall and his legs were very long. He could take a step that covered a distance of several thousand meters, so his speed was naturally astonishingly fast.

"Boom boom boom boom——"

The huge feet kept falling down, making a roaring sound.

In this maze where an average person on the eighth level of Xingyuan could barely walk, his speed easily soared to several thousand meters per second.

After a while, after walking only a few dozen kilometers, Lin Qing found the fork in the maze. Without hesitation, he randomly chose the middle road and continued to stride forward.

No matter which road you take, as long as you keep moving forward, you will reach the end.

Another moment passed.

"Black hole!"

Lin Qing passed two more forks in the road and when he reached the end of the passage, he saw the darkness at the end that seemed to swallow up everything. There were also strange photon streams surrounding the edge, so that the stable space nearby was completely distorted.

He did not hesitate, maintaining the status of World God, and immediately rushed into the darkness that swallowed everything.

The next moment, the astonishing pressure, tearing, strangulation...all kinds of astonishing forces brought about by the constantly changing space inside the black hole suddenly acted on Lin Qing.

At the same time, the pure darkness, silence and nothingness inside the black hole, and the breath that seemed to destroy everything, began to erode his soul.

"I see……"

Lin Qing forcibly resisted the various forces brought about by the changes in the internal space of the black hole, sensed it carefully, and immediately understood.

Resisting the changes in space inside this black hole is like dealing with underwater undercurrents when swimming. People who are good at swimming will naturally not drown in it, but it is very dangerous if you are not good at swimming.

Inside this black hole, the ever-changing space is like an ever-changing river, with turbulent undercurrents constantly changing.

If you try to resist it head-on, it will naturally be difficult to resist the spatial changes of the black hole. But if you have a high enough level of understanding and can recognize the laws of spatial changes in time, you will be able to adapt to the spatial changes, just like learning to swim, and it will be much easier to resist.

"I can resist the erosion of my soul caused by the deadly and annihilating aura of this black hole for a long time..."

In the darkness, Lin Qing immediately confirmed his situation. "The spatial changes of this black hole are also very similar to the state of the cosmic wonder 'multivariate black hole'. It should be a test imitating the formation of a multivariate black hole..."

Over the years, he has been practicing in seclusion in the Vacuum Tomb, and has already mastered the magical skills of the World God to perfection.

The rest of the time, in addition to practicing various secret techniques originating from the Sky Islands and sharpening his will, he would visit the "Museum of Cosmic Wonders" in the Vacuum Tomb.

Even just visiting those wonders of the universe that he was able to recognize took him nearly a hundred years.

Moreover, while waiting for the Star God Trial to begin, four or five hundred years had already passed on Earth, and the Blood Cauldron King's clone would occasionally ponder the wonders of the universe, trying to use them to touch his soul and recognize the true nature of space.

Therefore, Lin Qing immediately understood the test of this black hole.

He also immediately understood what the fastest way to pass was.

"Fight hard!"

At this moment, Lin Qing's aura suddenly burst out, and relying on the unparalleled power of the World God Body, the black flame clone also burned. He immediately withstood the force of the changes in space and began to break through forcefully.

perhaps……

A forced breakthrough is a very stupid method, but it is also very time-consuming to sense the changes in space, master the rules, and look for gaps and opportunities with the force of space changes.

But as long as you are strong enough, strong enough to break through the limits, the fastest way is to resist head-on!

"boom!"

As the black flame clone in the fused state burned its life, the world's divine power also suddenly erupted, increasing his strength several times.

The changing spatial forces inside the black hole began to dissipate immediately, and Lin Qing forced his way out in the blink of an eye.

When the darkness and nothingness before his eyes dissipated, another passage appeared.

"It sure works."

Lin Qing looked back and couldn't help but smile.

People who fall into a river need to learn how to swim in order to survive in the river. But if the person who falls into the river is a giant and the water flow cannot shake him, then there is naturally no need to learn how to swim.

Of course, this method also requires strong enough strength, otherwise it would be seeking death.

Only the void creatures have the power to forcibly break the limits of space, so if you want to use this method, you must at least be comparable to the void creatures.

"This preliminary selection is not difficult for me. It just depends on who gets out of the maze first."

"It's just that the consumption is a bit too high. It actually consumed 30% to 40% of the energy..."

Lin Qing took a deep breath, temporarily released the World God, and began to frantically absorb the relatively thin free energy inside the maze, recovering at an astonishing speed.

At the same time, he himself continued to fly forward along the maze passage.

Even if he does not use the power of World God, the Black Flame Clone will not burn his life. At this time, he still has the strength of the upper ninth level of Star Abyss, so it is very easy for him to fly in this maze.

After flying along the channel for a while, when he saw the next black hole, the energy was barely restored to almost full state.

After releasing the World God again and forcing a breakthrough, Lin Qing came to the next passage.

And so on and on.

After breaking through the black hole level seven times in a row, Lin Qing still did not see the end of the maze, nor did he know how big the maze was.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, when Lin Qing was flying to recover his energy, he found three figures flying out from the fork in the road ahead.

One of them was more than five meters tall, with bronze muscles all over his body, like a little giant.

It was Turles!
The other two also seemed to be familiar with Tours, and they followed Tours closely, obviously trying to absorb the thin free energy in the channel and try their best to restore energy.

When the three of them saw Lin Qing at this moment, they couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Then, Tours couldn't help but reveal a cruel smile: "Your luck is really bad. You're delivered to my door?"
