Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

With the crisis resolved, the Mighty Demon Ape reverted to its Martial Soul True Form state.

This person was none other than Chen, who had accompanied them all the way through the Lost Land.

"You're not dead!" Qian Gu Chang Kong couldn't help but say.

Chen crossed his arms and said with dissatisfaction, "It's been years, and you're still as annoying as ever!"

She paused, then felt something was off. "Huh? With your talent, how come your cultivation has improved so little in just a few years?"

Wu Qi asked in confusion, "How many years? We came out of the Lost Land, and it's only been half a year at most."

Even if time is accelerated here, from Chen's perspective, only a year has passed, right?

Hunter chuckled and explained, "Mr. Chen, in the cultivation place you were in before, one day in the outside world is equivalent to ten days in the outside world. That's why you felt like you were in another world."

"In fact, Wu Qi's time is the real time."

As he spoke, he looked at Wu Qi and smiled, saying, "It seems that you are indeed the person I have been waiting for."

Wu Qi was full of doubts; the situation here seemed to be more complicated than he had expected.

"As agreed, shouldn't you answer all my questions during this meeting?"

Hunter smiled and nodded. "Of course, let's start from the beginning."

The original owner of this body was Hunter, but he made a deal with the gods in order to avenge his father.

Afterwards, knowing that the gods would take his body away, or perhaps because he had committed too many sins, he chose to exile himself and went to the Land of Lost Souls.

For a long time afterward, his body remained his original consciousness, just as Wu Qi and the others had initially seen.

However, upon arriving at the desert palace, his consciousness gradually began to dissipate, replaced by the consciousness he has now.

Qian Gu Chang Kong muttered, "No wonder, I felt that your personality had suddenly changed drastically back then."

Wu Qi glanced at the scepter in his hand and asked, "Is it because of the scepter?"

Henry nodded. "That's right. As agreed, the God can take his body away at any time."

"Because the scepter was within the desert kingdom, my consciousness arose at that time."

“Originally, I planned to take the scepter and then quietly leave the group, but I didn’t expect you to find out first.”

"Later, I thought that you have good talent. If you are the destined person I need to wait for, then I don't need to wait here alone."

"My life was born of the gods, and it is to guide the successors to receive the gods' legacy."

"I am lucky that you did not keep me waiting long."

Wu Qi suddenly realized something.

The other party's identity is likely that of a divine servant, just like Qian Daoliu.

He paused, then asked, "Then, tens of thousands of years ago, was it this scepter that destroyed that royal city?"

Hunter explained, "Back then, the Angel God had just broken through to level 100 and her strength was unstable. Facing the renowned Rakshasa God, she was no match for her, let alone able to resolve the future troubles for the continent."

“A single spark can start a prairie fire. The number of evil spirit masters there has exploded. If it is not stopped, the continent will once again be shrouded in the shadow of evil spirit masters.”

“My Lord, having approved of the actions of the angel God, has sent down divine punishment, burying that royal city completely.”

That makes sense.

It is perfectly normal for a deity to send its servants to retrieve a divine artifact that has fallen into the mortal realm.

Hunter will keep his story short as he goes on about what happened next.

He rescued Chen from the oasis, brought him here, and began his cultivation.

Now, with the help of divine power, Chen Nan has almost reached the level of a Title Douluo.

Of course, in return, she was not allowed to leave the poisonous land without the gods' permission. She also served as its steward.

“This place was originally in a semi-closed state, but because of my appearance, the Lord opened it, giving you the opportunity to come in and train.”

"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say. Now come with me."

As he spoke, Hunter walked ahead.

Wu Qi glanced at the five small golden figures and couldn't help but ask, "What did you mean just now? Do my companions still have a chance to be redeemed?"

This time, it was Chen who spoke, “Don’t worry, on the next level you will see an ancient tree that reaches the sky, called the Tree of Life, which contains immense vitality.”

"As Hunter said, this place has been opened, and the power of the Tree of Life has been activated."

"No one can die here if Hunter is willing."

“The Ancient Tree of Life!” Wu Qi raised his eyebrows and glanced at the scepter in his hand.

The forces of life and destruction are inherently incompatible. If he had just borrowed the power of the scepter, those five students would have been doomed.

But before that, he used the power of the scepter to give two other students a quick death.

倘若
"Don't worry, you can't fully use the destructive power in the scepter, so those two still have a chance to survive."

"However, you must not touch the Fruit of Life again. Even if a Limit Douluo takes it, he might explode and die."

"You can understand it as this being the Promised Land of the Gods, where, apart from the animals that live there, only the Gods can eat those fruits."

As they spoke, the group had reached the end of the road.

In front of them was a human-shaped statue draped in a long robe.

The scepter in Wu Qi's hand suddenly emitted a dazzling dark purple light.

"This is my lord, the God of Destruction!" Hunter's tone was calm, but to Wu Qi and the others, it sounded like a god descending to earth.

"Is this the power of the God-King?" Wu Qi murmured.

Meanwhile, his previous guess was correct; this place was indeed related to the God of Destruction.

He paused, then pressed on, "Hunter, what's the situation with the Azure Phoenix's corpse in the other passage?"

Hunter casually explained, "This place was originally a small space created by the Goddess of Life. For some reason, the Goddess of Life took in the severely injured Azure Phoenix divine beast."

"For some reason, the Azure Phoenix refused the healing from the Ancient Tree of Life and chose to perish."

"That place was indeed a great opportunity for you, but the opportunity here is even greater! I don't need to tell you which to choose, do I?"

Both Qian Gu Chang Kong and Chen Ping had only a superficial understanding of the Divine Examination. The former was qualified to view some of the Spirit Hall's top-secret documents, but he didn't like reading and had never looked through them.

Wu Qi took a deep breath and asked, "Can my two companions also take the test?"

Hunter shrugged. “Of course. But you have to take the test first, so the Lord can see your talent.”

Wu Qi nodded, took a deep breath, and stood up to step forward.

"Brother Wu, what's going on? What kind of assessment is this?" Qian Gu Chang Kong asked hurriedly.

Wu Qi turned his head and replied, "You'll find out when you undergo the assessment."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and, following Hunter's instructions, placed the scepter back into the idol's hand.

The next moment, he slashed his palm and dripped blood onto his body.

In an instant, the statue emitted a dazzling light.

At the same time, a majestic voice resounded in Wu Qi's mind. (End of Chapter)
