Chapter 455 Competition for the Judgment Platform
Lin Zhen quickly got down the bridge. At this time, there were not many people in front of him.
"The judgment seat should be in front."
A high platform rises from the wasteland ahead.
This platform looks like a huge pyramid. It can be climbed up from all four sides. There are layers of steps stacked up, and each step is a hundred meters high.
"The judgment platform is really high. It must have about a hundred steps. I'm afraid it must be tens of thousands of meters high."
Lin Zhen came to the judgement seat and looked up.
A lot of people gathered here. Some tried to bypass the Judgment Stand and enter the wasteland in front to look for cosmic crystals, but they found that they could not get around it no matter what they did. They would still walk back to the starting point of the Judgment Stand after walking around.
"What is this judgment seat for?"
Just when Lin Zhen was wondering, Chris suddenly appeared.
"Master, there is a communication request in the dimensional universe. Do you want to connect?"
Lin Zhen was stunned for a moment: "There is a request in the dimensional universe? This is the World Stone, another world, how can it be connected to the dimensional universe?"
"This communication signal does not come from the outside world, but from this world itself. The requester is King Yanjun."
"What? It's him? Isn't he dead?"
"This is a signal field. Everyone who comes here will automatically receive this request, which was left here a long time ago."
"Then let's connect and see what message this King Yanjun left for us outsiders."
The request was quickly connected and a text message was automatically sent within the dimensional universe.
"My fellow outsiders, I am the King of the Underworld, and I am also the master of this world. The fact that you have come to this underworld proves that you are all sinners. Now step onto the judgment seat and accept my judgment. It is time to wash away your sins. The higher the level you ascend, the less sins you will have."
The text disappeared, and Lin Zhen rubbed his hands: "What does this King Yanjun take himself for? A god of justice?"
"Master, the only way now is to go through the Judgment Seat. If you don't want to go up, you can go around at the first step. You see, someone has already done that."
Lin Zhen looked up and saw that someone had indeed climbed up the first flight of stairs. He seemed to be under some pressure and was moving around under it.
Because this staircase is surrounded on all sides, you can go around to the back and pass the judgment seat and enter the wasteland area.
With someone leading the way, more and more people will do the same. In their eyes, the only important thing is to quickly enter the wasteland and obtain the cosmic crystal, and everything else is empty talk.
However, Lin Zhen did not think so. The World Stone only had three months left, and there was no rush to look for the Cosmic Crystal. Moreover, he was not short of money for the time being. What he really wanted was the treasure left by King Yanjun.
If there is a treasure on this judgment platform, Lin Zhen believes it will be at the top.
So he wanted to give it a try.
There were also many people who had the same idea as Lin Zhen. They did not immediately bypass the judgment platform, but climbed up the network layer by layer. However, it looked very strenuous. Many people stopped after climbing a few layers, and no one knew what they were doing.
"Go up and take a look!"
Lin Zhen arrived at the steps, jumped up more than ten meters high, and then used his hands and feet to climb up along the potholes like climbing a rock, and soon reached the first step.
Just after going up, Lin Zhen almost lost his balance and fell down because he felt a huge pressure coming down from the sky and the sudden difference in gravity made him a little uncomfortable.
After stabilizing his body, Lin Zhen finally realized: "So this is a gravity field. The higher you go, the stronger the gravity."
However, the gravity of this first level is not difficult at all for Lin Zhen.
He himself is not very clear about how strong his physical fitness is.
After calming down a little, Lin Zhen quickly climbed to the second floor.
The hundred-meter-high steps were densely packed with people climbing up. People had also received news that there should be a treasure of the King of the Realm at every location, and this judgment seat would definitely be no exception.
For the first ten floors, almost everyone had no difficulty climbing.
By the twentieth floor, most people were still able to hold on.
Starting from the 30th floor, people gradually began to fall behind.
The huge gravity made people's bones creak. The strength of their physical fitness and strength were revealed at this moment. Those who were not strong enough would not be able to do it.
Some people sat down sweating profusely, meditating on the steps, adjusting their breathing and waiting for the next climb.
Some people insist on climbing up, but when they reach the middle of the steps, they can no longer withstand the gravity falling from the sky and are smashed down alive! Flying is prohibited here, and the gravity weighing dozens of times can easily smash these strong warriors to pieces! When death occurs, many warriors realize that this level is not something you can pass with courage and perseverance. Once you fail, you will be crushed to pieces!
By the 40th floor, the number of people climbing had dropped by half.
On the 50th floor, the number of people was halved again.
Some people died, while others felt they could not hold on any longer and immediately began to walk around the stairs to the wasteland ahead to look for cosmic crystals.
By the time he reached the 60th floor, Lin Zhen also felt a lot of pressure, and there were only a few hundred people still climbing.
"Almost there. We have been climbing for almost a day and have already climbed more than half of the distance. There are only forty floors left to reach the top."
Lin Zhen said this, and Chris immediately reminded him: "Master, according to the information provided by King Yanjun, climbing to the 90th floor of this judgment platform is only halfway, and the last few floors are the most difficult to climb."
Lin Zhen nodded: "I understand this principle, but now that I'm here, I must strive to climb to the top and see what is on top of this platform."
Sitting cross-legged on the spot, Lin Zhen adjusted his breathing for a while, and when he felt that he had almost recovered, he immediately stood up and climbed again.
Sixty-three, sixty-five, sixty-eight, seventy! Lin Zhen spent a whole day climbing these ten floors, and when he reached the seventieth floor, there were less than a hundred people around him.
"What a strong gravity pressure! Anyone who can endure this must be a true genius. The real challenge has not yet begun."
Being under strong gravity all the time is also an extreme challenge for a warrior's body, because you have to constantly exert force to fight against gravity, otherwise you can be crushed into a meat patty at any time.
If you accidentally fall down, the huge gravity is enough to turn you into a mural.
At this time, it is a competition of strength and endurance.
It was not until the fifth day that Lin Zhen finally climbed to the 80th floor.
And there were only fifty people still climbing around him.
"Phew! This is almost the limit of human beings. The gravity here is a thousand times stronger than the gravity of a normal planet. I think if we weigh a strand of hair now, it should be calculated in kilograms."
Lin Zhen looked around. After climbing for a few days, he had a certain understanding of his competitors.
The strongest opponent here should be a man named Apollo from the dragon totem.
Apollo is a blond man with a golden dragon tattoo on his body. He is extremely strong. After climbing 80 floors, other people would show signs of fatigue, but not Apollo. He remained calm and composed, and seemed to have great potential.
"A tough gangster. He should be my main rival."
"But now that I'm here, I've decided to get rid of you. I must be the first one to step onto the judgment stand!"
When Lin Zhen stood up, Apollo also stood up not far away.
"Half armor!"
Lin Zhenxin moved her mind, and black scales appeared on her body, and her outer clothes were immediately stretched open again.
After changing into half armor, his muscles bulged and his strength doubled. His legs, which had felt like they were filled with lead, were immediately filled with strength again.
"Come again! This time we must reach the ninetieth floor in one go!"
Lin Zhen started a new round of climbing. These days, these people have been competing fiercely with each other. Seeing Lin Zhen start, the others were unwilling to fall behind and started to catch up.
At this time, the golden dragon tattoo on the body of the man named Apollo began to glow.
"The power of inscriptions!"
As the golden dragon tattoo glowed, a powerful blood force began to rise, and Apollo's speed also increased.
In addition to the two of them, there were several children of aristocratic families and some people from multinational corporations who also used their best skills and began to climb faster.
But more people couldn't keep up, and some people fell behind at every level. However, at this point, some people who felt they couldn't hold on simply chose to quit.
One hour later, a total of twenty people climbed up to the ninetieth floor! "It's too heavy. I can't hold on even in half armor."
Lin Zhen began to sweat, and only then did he truly realize the difficulty of this trial.
If he didn't have the support of half armor, relying solely on physical strength, he would probably have collapsed by now.
"A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. Now is the limit of human nature. I must challenge myself and climb to the ninety-first floor, leaving most of my competitors behind!"
The gravity here is too strong and fighting is impossible, so Lin Zhen can only choose this method.
Lin Zhen endured the physical fatigue and climbed again.
Those who were already exhausted to the limit and were preparing to take a break, saw that Lin Zhen was still so strong that he could still climb. Except for a few people who could barely hold on and follow, everyone else lost some confidence.
Forget it, this judgment seat is too difficult. Instead of wasting time here, I might as well go to the wasteland to look for cosmic crystals.
Among the twenty people, one person immediately gave up. The remaining nineteen people, including Apollo, did not want to lose to Lin Zhen, and followed Lin Zhen again to climb the ninety-first floor! However, two nine-star masters could not hold on and fell off the judgment platform, dying on the spot! (End of this chapter)
