Believe that what lies before you is a reward, a path to the sixth holy city.

"Vote," Yaochi said. "A reward, or a test?"

“This is the only way,” Yang Qinglan nodded and immediately said, “I’ll put the reward.”

“I’ll also vote for the reward,” Li Qianxia added.

Yaochi analyzed: "The Fifth City mainly tests people's hearts. Now that you two have both voted for 'reward,' it is more likely that it is a 'test' - I voted for 'test'."

"What do you mean, Sister Yao!" Li Qianxia laughed and scolded, "You mean that the two of us think that voting for the 'reward' means we failed the test?"

"I'm addressing people's hearts, not individuals," Yaochi said gently, her smile as beautiful as a flower.

"Ah Zhou?" Yang Qinglan looked at Li Changzhou, only he hadn't voted yet.

"award."

Yaochi couldn't help but say, "The result is already determined, but I still want to ask, what is your basis for this?"

“I just threw it randomly,” Li Qianxia replied.

Yang Qinglan said, "There's no evidence to prove this is a 'test,' but the small piece of evidence—'information reading'—proves this is truly a 'reward.'"

This is not a very convincing reason, after all, the 'Fifth Holy City' is enough to serve as evidence that 'this is the place of trial'.

But Yaochi did not refute it.

She didn't want to reverse the voting results; she was just curious.

"And you?" she asked Li Changzhou.

“I believe in my sister,” Li Changzhou said.

"Huh?" Li Qianxia had an expression that said, 'Even I don't believe myself.'

Li Changzhou smiled and explained, "If Qianxia's suggestion to take the risk herself isn't enough to pass the test, then we won't get past this hurdle either; uh."

Yaochi laughed as well: "I'll re-enter, this time for 'reward'. I also believe in Qianxia."

Li Qianxia stared at Yang Qinglan.

However, Yang Qinglan did not change her reasons for voting.

The four people left the flying boat, and the boat turned into spiritual light and disappeared.

“Oh, right,” Li Changzhou remembered something, “only life can enter the womb source pool, and it cannot wear clothes.”

"Hmm??" It was just an interjection, but it felt like Li Qianxia had said a long sentence.

“Let Qinglan and Yaochi keep an eye on things. We can just stand back to back. What’s with all the 'uh-huh'?” Li Changzhou said.

The four men removed their battle armor and immersed themselves in the clear, cold, jade-colored pool water.

"hiss!"

It felt as if a clear breeze was blowing through my body, and then my blood surged, my bones resonated, and my whole body underwent a dramatic change as if it were boiling.

However, the four of them did not feel any physical changes.

They had a subtle sense of weightlessness, as if their souls had been set free.

Hearing the faint, mysterious humming is like hearing celestial music in the mortal world, intoxicating the listener.

A dazzling light enveloped the four of them, the laws of which were vast and boundless.

There's no need to deliberately persist or do anything; it's as natural and effortless as the melting snow on an inland mountain, its path to the sea already determined.

After an unknown amount of time, the four of them woke up.

Li Changzhou saw her flowing hair, her stunningly beautiful face, her eyes that could reflect the stars, her fair and slender body, her waist that could be encircled with one hand, and her straight and long legs.

"Ah!" Li Qianxia exclaimed in surprise, and Yaochi smiled as she hugged Li Changzhou's head in her arms.

The pool water was completely absorbed, and the four of them were completely dry, with no water stains on their bodies and their hair completely dry.

The four of them put on their battle suits, and each of them felt an overwhelming sense of perfection.

The most direct manifestation of this is that he was able to invoke the will of Heaven nine times solely through his own strength.

This is a realm that beings in the vast universe can almost never reach, and this advancement is a natural progression, without any forced effort.

Li Changzhou felt a sense of liberation and exhilaration, as if the world was being created from chaos. His combat power soared, and he was able to control it perfectly, unleashing his full potential with every move.

The aura of the Great Dao permeated Yang Qinglan's body, making it impossible for even the strongest divine sense or the most peerless heavenly eye to see her clearly.

Countless mechanical gears were arranged behind Yaochi, as if the world itself operated in this way;

A primordial divine tree appeared behind Li Qianxia, ​​but the Three Tribulations did not occur, because this was permitted by Heaven and Earth.

Compared to Li Changzhou's primordial divine tree, she lacked a certain resilience, but her vitality far surpassed that of Li Changzhou.

The four of them were like perfect people, exuding a temperament completely different from that of ordinary people.

“Someone once said,” Yang Qinglan said slowly, “that God is a united humanity—in our current state, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that one person is God.”

"Are all the virtues of humankind contained within us?" Yaochi pondered to herself.

They were reborn from the womb of heaven and earth, at the pinnacle of the human race.

Li Qianxia asked curiously, "Since we've all reached this state, does it mean that all four of us have passed the test, and there's enough water in the pool for all four of us?"

One person who passes the test will receive a portion of the power to reach the pinnacle of their race.

All four reached the peak of their race, proving that they had all passed the test.

The portal opened, and the path to the sixth city appeared before them.

“This is the sixth city,” Li Changzhou said, stepping inside.
