Chapter 624 Opening a New World

"Um?"

As Diqiong was leaving the Bird's Nest, it suddenly sensed something and turned to look at Su Ping, only to see a wisp of dark sword energy disappear. A hint of doubt appeared in its eyes. Just now, it seemed to have sensed a strange power, which seemed to be the power that it was still learning and pursuing...

It must be an illusion...

Di Qiong shook her head slightly. Su Ping's cultivation level was far inferior to hers, so it was impossible for him to release that level of power. She must have sensed something wrong.

"Let's go."

Di Qiong was the first to fly out of the bird's nest, and at the same time, a force enveloped Su Ping, pulling his body out of the bird's nest as well.

As before, Di Qiong led Su Ping to the trial grounds to gather.

Su Ping stood calmly inside the golden cube. In his eyes, the golden cube was no longer indestructible. He had a feeling that if he used his full strength, he could break it!

However, he clearly had no need to do such a thing.

With his hands behind his back, Su Ping surveyed the ancient trees around him. Through the gaps in the giant leaves, he could see an incredibly vast landscape. Su Ping had no doubt that if he randomly picked a hundred leaves from these giant trees, the area they formed would be comparable to the surface area of ​​the entire Blue Star!

For this ancient tree as a whole, hundreds of leaves are insignificant, like a grain of sand in the vast ocean.

Magnificent, grand.

Su Ping felt his heart and mind broaden, experiencing a wonderful feeling.

……

"This human race..."

On a branch, three golden crows of the highest level sat, their gazes piercing through the universe and time, seemingly able to see the past and the future. Their divine eyes reflected endless divine light, making it impossible to look directly at them.

At this moment, the Golden Crow Elder, sitting in the middle, had a glint in his eyes. His gaze pierced through the layers of clouds and leaves, and he saw the wisp of dark sword energy disappearing from the fingertip of that tiny figure.

"Their qualifications are acceptable..."

The elder nodded slightly, his eyes flickering, lost in thought.

……

……

"Are they all here to participate in the trial?"

Su Ping asked.

After following Diqiong out of the bird's nest and onto the giant leaf that was comparable in size to ten base cities, Su Ping saw some "tiny" golden crow figures in the gaps between the giant leaves, and there were quite a few of them.

Although they are described as small, they are actually as large as warships. If they were placed on Earth, they would be able to crush ordinary king-level beasts.

Around these golden crows, there were also some enormous golden crows, almost super golden crows, accompanying these "small" golden crows as they ascended to the top of the ancient tree.

Based on this trial, Su Ping immediately guessed that they were most likely the young Golden Crows participating in the trial.

"That's right, they're all your rivals. I'll instruct them to beat you to a pulp."

Di Qiong saw the golden crows, glanced at Su Ping, and said calmly.

Su Ping raised an eyebrow and said, "Can you really bully the weak with numbers?"

"Who would use numbers to bully you? It's not that serious," Di Qiong snorted.

Su Ping ignored it and continued to admire the grand spectacle of the Golden Crow Clan.

Outside the ancient tree, golden crows of all sizes flocked in, appearing from afar as if countless golden streaks of light were galloping towards them, an incredibly magnificent sight.

Even the young Golden Crows are legendary beings that are nearly invincible, let alone the adult Golden Crows.

This is the ancient race of gods and demons, whose combat power is terrifying.

"Trials..."

Su Ping's gaze grew increasingly serious. For the sake of the little skeleton, he had to pass this trial!

……

At the top of the ancient tree, beneath its canopy.

On the tree trunk where the Golden Crow Elders reside, and on the leaves of the surrounding trees, there are countless Golden Crows. Those Golden Crows that can perch on the tree trunks all have status and rank, while other ordinary Golden Crows can only fly in mid-air, accompanied by their own naughty little cubs.

Although they were just kids, in Su Ping's eyes they were all formidable opponents.

Di Qiong flew to this place and led Su Ping directly to the tree trunk where the elders were sitting, standing at the feet of the elders.

The appearance of Di Qiong also attracted the attention of many Golden Crows around. Some Golden Crows that brushed past him gave way and addressed him respectfully as Your Highness. The Golden Crows in the distance were attracted by Su Ping, who was being pulled behind Di Qiong. They had never seen such a strange creature before. Was it His Highness's personal snack?

"Mother, what is that? It looks awful."

A young golden crow asked the giant golden crow beside it.

The giant golden crow gently poked the young golden crow's head with a feather from the tip of its wing. "Be quiet and listen to the elders. If you fail the trial this time, I'll break your third leg!"

……

The First Elder, towering above the clouds, looked down upon all the Golden Crows present. It also saw Di Qiong and Su Ping approaching, but ignored them. After surveying the crowd, it waited until all its members had arrived before speaking: "The Awakening Trial shall now begin. All participants, assemble before me."

These words, like a magnificent ancient bell, resonated from the top of the ancient tree, reaching nearly half of the tree.

All the golden crows around heard it and submitted willingly to this majestic voice.

Some adult golden crows bowed slightly, showing respect and obedience. After the elder finished speaking, they immediately urged their cubs to hurry up and assemble, lest they delay things. To Su Ping, this felt somewhat like parents sending their children to school. He suddenly realized that these golden crows were not such a distant group of creatures after all.

They are not only powerful, cold gods and demons, but also beings of flesh and blood.

Whoosh!Whoosh!

Golden crows flew in from all directions.

These golden crows were all small, young golden crows. They landed on the tree trunks behind Di Qiong and Su Ping, and the strong winds they stirred up made Su Ping's hair messy.

Young golden crows descended one by one, some of them exuding an extremely powerful aura, and some of their arrival attracted considerable attention.

"It's His Highness, Emperor Qiong!"

"Your Highness, possessing the bloodline of the progenitor!"

"Chirp chirp~!"

Some of the young golden crows, upon landing, were immediately drawn to Emperor Qiong, their eyes gleaming with admiration and awe. Others, however, peeked furtively, too ashamed to look directly at him.

"It's Hertz!"

"You Qiongshi!"

Diqiong also turned to look at these young golden crows, but her gaze was not one of appreciation and admiration, but rather one of condescension and selection, like an empress scrutinizing her new clothes.

Su Ping recalled Di Qiong's earlier words that the Golden Crow with the highest score in the trial might be selected as its Imperial Guard. Suddenly, looking at these majestic young Golden Crows, a trace of sympathy welled up in his heart.

"If you can make it to the final comprehensive trial arena, you'd better not encounter them, otherwise you'll die a terrible death!" Di Qiong suddenly withdrew his gaze and said to Su Ping.

Su Ping raised an eyebrow. Was this a reminder?

But for some reason, he always felt like he was being mocked.

"That's He Shi over there. He's one of the most talented guys of this generation. He's likely to win first place this time and join my Imperial Guard pre-selection camp." Di Qiong raised his head slightly and pointed Su Ping in a direction with his gaze.

Su Ping turned his head and looked around, but seemed somewhat lost.

They're all golden crows, and they're about the same size. Which one is it referring to?

"Didn't find it? It's that one who looks average." Di Qiong noticed Su Ping's gaze and gestured again.

Su Ping glanced at it twice, still bewildered.

Average or nothing special?

In his eyes, these all seemed perfectly normal. What was the difference between this and going to a chicken farm? In fact, at least in a chicken farm, he could distinguish some differences, at least some chickens had different feathers. But these Golden Crows... were all uniformly golden yellow, without a single stray feather. How could he identify them?!

"That's the Youqiong Clan over there, you'd better not provoke them." Diqiong then looked at another golden crow.

Sensing Emperor Qiong's gaze, the golden crow immediately showed a respectful expression, and the golden crows nearby all reacted in the same way, as if they all felt... that His Highness Emperor Qiong was looking at them.

Three major misconceptions about birds...

Su Ping turned his head and glanced around, only to find that all the young golden crows were bowing their heads, as if shy…

"hehe……"

Su Ping twitched his lips. He could sense that Di Qiong's words were a well-intentioned reminder. Although he didn't know why this guy would suddenly remind him, what good would this reminder do?!

"I have bird blindness," Su Ping told Di Qiong.

Di Qiong looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Su Ping wanted to explain, but suddenly realized that it was better not to. Jinwu didn't want to know that he was defined as a bird in Jinwu's eyes.

At this moment, the void in front of Elder Jinwu suddenly rippled and slowly opened up a space. Inside this space was an ancient arena with towering stone pillars carved with huge golden crows coiling around them. Above the arena was a bridge formed by clouds and mist.

On the other side of the bridge, there was a small field with a bottomless abyss at its edge.

The area contains many enormous, jumbled rocks.

"Go in, children," the elder's voice was deep and majestic.

These words caused a stir in the audience.

The young golden crows that fell all chirped and chattered. In an instant, Su Ping felt as if his eardrums were about to be pierced. Then came the sound of countless wings flapping and the wind.

One after another, young golden crows were launched from the gathering place, rushing out rapidly and transforming into streaks of golden light, flying towards the vortex space in the sky.

Whoosh whoosh!

Countless golden crows, like golden arrows, shot into the training ground.

Each young golden crow was like a giant warship, extremely majestic. Su Ping's eyes were filled with golden light, and the scene before him gave him an extraordinary shock.

The trials of the gods and demons were so magnificent that even just entering the arena was incredibly imposing!

In the blink of an eye, many golden crows had already poured into the trial field. At the end, only a dozen or so golden crows remained, a small number. Among the giant golden crows watching from the outside, some of them clearly made anxious and lamenting sounds, obviously among the lagging golden crows were their offspring.

"Holy crap, I forgot! I haven't logged in yet!"

Su Ping suddenly realized what was happening and slapped his forehead.

Di Qiong glanced at him and said irritably, "With my binding spell, you can't run around without my permission. The Grand Elder said he'll open a separate realm for you, what's your hurry?"

"Well……"

Su Ping suddenly remembered that the elder had indeed said something similar before.

"If you were really to participate in the trials with them, you wouldn't be enough even if you died ten thousand times!" Di Qiong scoffed. "The Grand Elder is protecting you, ensuring fairness, and showing respect for the Celestial Venerable behind you!"

Su Ping understood and stopped being impatient, asking, "Then this isn't calculated based on time, is it?"

"Of course, this first trial tests strength, not the speed of time. However, the speed of entry can still reveal some things. The strong are naturally fast and strong, while the weak..." Di Qiong snorted and didn't continue.

Su Ping felt relieved.

At this moment, he saw that all the golden crows that flew into the trial field swooped down into the piles of rocks that had entered the area.

These rocks are extremely large, some of them being several times larger than the golden crows.

As Su Ping was observing, a golden crow suddenly grabbed a boulder the same size as its own body, flapped its wings and took flight, but it was clearly struggling to fly.

Despite this, the giant golden crows watching from the sidelines chirped, seemingly somewhat amazed.

"What is this test?" Su Ping looked at Di Qiong with a puzzled expression.

Di Qiong said proudly, "I said that the first trial tests strength, so naturally it's about who is stronger, who can grab the biggest divine stone and fly it to the other side. Whoever does that will get a better score. If both sides grab the same divine stone, then it's about who is faster."

Su Ping's eyes widened.

That's it?

That's way too simplistic and crude!

Are all ancient gods and demons so unscrupulous?

"Humans!"

Just then, a magnificent voice rang out; it was the Grand Elder's voice: "To be fair, I have specially created a separate realm for you. You are probably already aware of the method of the test; you may proceed now."

As the sound faded, another vortex slowly appeared beside the void where the many golden crows were undergoing their trials. The scene inside the vortex was the same as the venues inside the golden crows, only much smaller in size.

Upon hearing the Grand Elder's words, the many giant golden crows watching the trial all looked at the Grand Elder in surprise, and then their gazes fell on Su Ping behind Di Qiong. At this moment, Su Ping was the only anomaly in the arena.

"Thank you, Elder."

Upon hearing the Grand Elder's words, Su Ping nodded in gratitude. Although this fairness was given to a certain Celestial Venerable behind him from whom he had benefited, he was still grateful for such thoughtfulness.

"Go," Diqiong said calmly, then turned his bird head, revealing a disdainful look.

Su Ping was somewhat helpless with this vain bird whose temperament was so fickle. It had kindly reminded him earlier, but now it seemed to disdain talking to him. He really couldn't understand it.

Whoosh!

Without saying much, Su Ping withdrew his thoughts and flew directly towards the void training ground.

This trial concerned the materials and the little skeleton, so he no longer paid attention.

In the blink of an eye, Su Ping had already rushed into the training ground.

"So heavy!"

As soon as he entered the training ground, Su Ping felt his body sink down and almost fell to the ground, but his body reacted quickly and stabilized his body before his mind could even process it.

Su Ping turned his head and looked around. From the entrance, he could vaguely see the outside, but it was like looking at the surface of water from underwater—somewhat blurry and rippled.

"The gravity here seems to be more than ten times stronger than outside," Su Ping thought to himself. In addition to the gravity, this place is also a deserted land with no star power to draw upon; whatever you use, you lose.
