Pre-death assessment

Everyone has something they fear most deep down.

Some people are afraid of ghosts, some are afraid of snakes, some are afraid of pain, and some are afraid of their loved ones being hurt.

In the next assessment space, those who are afraid of ghosts must live with ghosts, those who are afraid of snakes must live with snakes, and those who are afraid of pain must endure the torment of being cut into a thousand pieces.

Those who fear the harm to their loved ones must witness firsthand the suffering they cannot tolerate inflicting upon them.

"I..." Liu Ruyan couldn't speak.

This is a bit too perverted, isn't it?

Indeed, everyone has something they fear most deep down.

Moreover, most people only know what they are most afraid of.

How many people would actually dare to confront their deepest fears?

How many people can withstand facing their greatest fears?

"Don't forget, the pre-death assessment space is hell!"

Ling Wu continued, "Anything cruel can happen in hell."

The so-called hell is designed to torment people.

The first level of torment is already unbearable for many people.

Moreover, the further you go, the deeper the torment becomes.

Liu Ruyan frowned deeply: "Then... these pre-death assessment spaces below the second level, were they also created by those so-called rulers?"

Those twelve guys were absolutely freaks.

How could anyone design such a twisted game?

"They designed only the first level; the levels below are none of their business!"

Ling Wuhui replied.

The second and subsequent levels of the assessment are designed to take place from the true... final boss of this pre-death assessment space!

"Do you still want to go?"

Ling Wu smiled at Liu Ruyan: "If you don't want to go, I won't force you."

Liu Ruyan didn't speak, but fell into deep thought.

Hearing Ling Wu casually mention it, she actually felt a little timid.

It's no wonder that Ling Wu didn't tell Li Ming and the others everything.

If they found out, they probably really wouldn't go on this adventure with him.

"I'm going! I absolutely have to go!"

Jiang Luo resolutely declared, "Now that I'm here, I must find my sister."

She had never originally intended to come to the pre-death assessment space.

But Ling Wu had already brought her here.

And just now she saw the scene of her sister's head being held in someone's hand...

In an instant, she became very resolute.

I must find my sister here and reunite with her.

No matter what dangers lie ahead, I will never back down!

"In many things, simple-minded children are indeed often braver than most people."

Ling Wu smiled slightly.

Liu Ruyan took a deep breath: "What are you talking about? I didn't say I wasn't going."

If even Jiang Luo dares to go, what is there for me not to dare to do?

How can you be inferior to even a little girl?

"Facing your fears is just one aspect!"

Ling Wu continued, "There are even more difficult and painful tests."

"go!"

Liu Ruyan gritted her teeth: "If your girlfriend can pass, so can I!"

Fine, I'll go. Who cares?

Every hurdle is difficult, but you'll overcome them all!

"At that time... you'll definitely help each and every one of us, right?"

Liu Ruyan then asked a question with a smile.

To be honest, if she were going alone, she wouldn't dare to go after learning all this.

However, she felt somewhat safer with Ling Wu.

No matter what kind of assessment it is, Ling Wu must have a way to help me, right?

Hearing this, Ling Wu simply smiled.

He can indeed help everyone as much as possible.

But some things, in the end, you have to rely on yourself!

Only under extreme torment can truly extraordinary individuals be born.

"So, how many times have you come to the pre-death assessment space?"

Liu Ruyan returned to the question she had asked at the beginning.

In the end, Ling Wu never directly answered the question.

Ling Wu simply smiled and remained silent.

Which number exactly?

To be honest... after refreshing, it really was only the second time!

……

The final assessment space, the ninth level!

This is the deepest part of hell, the deepest part of the space for the pre-death assessment.

Everything around was distorted and pitch black.

On that desolate land, there were several figures.

There are men and women, and they vary in height, weight, and build.

The only thing they had in common was that everyone was weary and worn out.

Some of them had lost a hand, some had lost an eye, some had lost a leg…

Anyway, all sorts of injuries and disabilities.

It's hard to imagine what kind of hardships and setbacks they went through along the way.

But their eyes remained sharp and fierce.

The leader of their team is a woman.

Her face was covered in mud, her clothes were tattered, and she had some wounds.

But it's not hard to see that she is an absolutely beautiful woman.

Moreover, there was always a light in her deep, beautiful eyes.

A confident, proud, and resolute light!

A fearless light that dares to face death head-on and challenge it!

"So close, so very close, what a pity..."

She wrapped her injured arm with a bandage, bit down on it, and pulled it tight.

Then, he looked into the distance.

In the distant, distorted mist, there stands an ancient gate.

Behind that gate lies one of the rulers of this place.

The ruler of the assessment space at the hour of Xu (7-9 PM)!

There are twelve such gates in twelve different locations throughout this space.

This group of people had just experienced an unprecedented life-or-death battle.

Because their opponent was one of the twelve rulers of this pre-death assessment space.

They almost finished off that guy.

It was so close!

Unfortunately, a small mistake can lead to a huge difference!

"Opportunity knocks but once."

Jiang Liao let out a soft breath.

If he misses this opportunity, that guy will naturally become more cautious in the future.

It won't be so easy to make a move against him again.

"Who would have thought that the final test in this death trial space... would be to eliminate twelve rulers?"

Behind Jiang, a teammate shook his head with a smile.

The first few levels are bizarre and all sorts of perverse things.

But regardless of the type of assessment, whether it's a self-assessment or a group assessment.

They all passed.

When I got to the ninth level, I thought there might be some new tricks in this final level.

The result, however, was to directly eliminate the twelve rulers of this pre-death assessment space.

This assessment is not complicated at all; it's much simpler than the previous ones!

But it is undoubtedly the most difficult!

Think about it, the twelve categories of assessment space in the first level all come from these twelve rulers.

In other words, all twelve categories of superpowers were distributed by these twelve creators.

Use the superpowers distributed by the Overlord to fight back against the Overlord?

That's certainly a bit far-fetched!

Fortunately, from the second to the eighth level, their team accumulated various special abilities.

But no matter what, it's impossible to directly confront the ruler of this place!

How can a floating object rival the blue sky?

But their team did exactly that one thing.

And... it almost succeeded; it almost eliminated a ruler right away.

"I wonder if there's another level after we take care of these twelve guys?"

Jiang Liao smiled.

Anyway, she's really looking forward to it now.

It's like a game where you beat the game, only to find out there's one last hidden level.

Of course, you'd be very excited, wouldn't you?

"Captain, honestly, I feel like we might not be able to get past this hurdle!"

A teammate spoke up from behind.

The twelve rulers.

They were only facing one of them today, although they were indeed very close to taking him down.

But they were all basically burned out.

This last hurdle is definitely going to be difficult to overcome.

There's always a way.

Jiang Liao smiled gently: "If we don't have enough... then we'll wait for reinforcements."

Because at this final stage, everyone's goal is the same.

Kill the twelve Overlords!

There are no other fancy rules.

"I wonder where that guy is now?"

Jiang Liao then looked up, gazing at the dark and distorted sky.

Ling Wu should catch up soon, right?

Although I've left him far behind, it seems I'm stuck at this final hurdle.

Then let's wait for him here.

Wait for him to catch up!

If he joins forces with me, we'll be very confident in taking down the twelve rulers here.

"I hope the road signs I left along the way will help you pass through the checkpoints smoothly as soon as possible."

Jiang murmured softly.

Along the way, she marked out the methods that allowed her to quickly pass each level.

When Ling Wu met her, he naturally understood what she meant.

Then, they will catch up very quickly.

"Although I did lie to you back then, I left markers along the way to help you, so let's call it even."

Jiang Liao then smiled gently.

Clang!

Just then, the gate in the distant, distorted mist suddenly opened.

Then, two figures slowly flew out from there.

Two men in white, one with the character "戌" (xu) in his eyes, the other with the character "亥" (hai) in his eyes!

"Heh, looks like we've really angered him, he's actually calling for backup?"

Jiang chuckled, then turned around and said, "Let's go."

They could barely manage to break even against one ruler, so facing two would certainly be much more difficult.

Therefore, it's best to avoid direct confrontation for now!

Their entire team immediately fled this dangerous place.

"Ants!"

Just then, the two men in white in front of the gate sneered and chased after them.

As the ruler, if you are bitten hard by ants, you will naturally want to crush them to death no matter what.

"Damn it, that guy can detect us."

When they realized that the two Overlords were chasing after them, one of Jiang Liao's teammates quickly said something.

The ruler of the Xu hour (7-9 PM) lacks the ability to detect, but the ruler of the Hai hour (9-11 PM) can lock onto them immediately.

This is troublesome.

This means that in this ninth level of assessment space, they have nowhere to hide.

"It does look a bit troublesome, everyone. Let's play it by ear!"

Jiang Liao remained calm at this moment.

Their team is truly battle-hardened and fearless.

The group ran wildly through the vast and boundless assessment space.

While running, Jiang Liao suddenly noticed something and abruptly stopped.

"Captain? What's wrong?"

The others all frowned.

Those two guys behind you will catch up soon, so don't dawdle.

Jiang Liao didn't speak; she just stared intently at something not far away.

His expression became more serious than ever before!

Everyone else was looking in that direction as well.

There, there was an inconspicuous stone mountain.

On the stone wall of that rocky mountain, there were four very conspicuous large characters:

— Utterly boring!

At that moment, Jiang Liao was completely stunned.

Why?

Why is this happening?

That guy, wasn't he right behind me?

Wasn't he kicked out of the pre-death assessment space by himself, leaving a huge gap between himself and others?

Why?

Why are his words here?!

Am I... not the first person to arrive at this ninth level?
