"Suppressing extraordinary abilities..." Zuan was taken aback, never expecting such a strange requirement in this trial.
You know, after cultivating for so long, everyone becomes a superhuman who can fly and escape into the earth. Suddenly becoming an ordinary person again might be a bit difficult to get used to.
"I have a question. Since you say I'm destined for death, why do you want them to join you?" Zuan asked, puzzled.
Not to mention that the addition of fireworks would have created many more risks, he personally did not want Isabella and Tingxue to take any risks.
After all, with this endless staircase of skulls here, and all those who participated in these trials dying, wouldn't Tingxue and Isabella also likely become one of the skulls?
Hmm, the skulls they turned into must be very exquisite and beautiful...
Pshaw, what time is it to be thinking about these things?
The God of Death answered straightforwardly, "Because they also have the opportunity to gain the favor of the Path of Death. Although a long period of time has passed, not many people have been able to come here. The Path of Death needs new people to inherit it, so in order to find this person, the trial will involve all those who come here, hoping to increase the probability of success."
Zuan: "..."
It seems they're casting a wide net.
However, looking at the endless staircase of white bones, he felt that there were actually quite a lot of people coming here.
"Is that all? Is there anything else that's more useful?" He quickly composed himself.
"I've already made an exception and revealed two pieces of information to you, aren't you satisfied yet?"
"Where are there two pieces of intelligence?!"
"First, this trial is in a world that restricts extraordinary abilities;"
"Second, your companions will also be involved."
Zuan: "..."
If he hadn't known the other person could read minds, he probably would have already started swearing. How the hell does this count?
"These two pieces of information are far too far-fetched and are of no help to the trial at all. Didn't you want to find someone to inherit the will of death? Since you think we are destined to be together, why not actually help me?"
"No, the trial must be fair and just to pass."
"But you should also know that this trial has most likely been tampered with by other... beings. If these trial participants enter completely clueless and lose the initiative from the very beginning, wouldn't that violate the principle of fairness and impartiality you set in the first place?"
Upon hearing his words, the giant eye in the sky paused for a moment, then sighed after a long silence: "Over the years, I have encountered a few clever fellows who have tried every means to extract information from me, but you are the first to convince me."
"Alright, I can reveal another piece of information to you. From your memories, I discovered that this world of trials has some connection with you."
Zu'an was initially delighted, then asked in confusion, "What connection could I possibly have with you?"
This was a trial set up by the chosen successor of the God of Death, and no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out how it could be related to him.
Wait, He read all my memories?
"Because the prototype of this trial world came from a friend of the path of death. He was also the god of death in a world back then. He was quite to my liking and told me about some of the later evolution of his world. I was particularly impressed. So when I was in a hurry to leave behind the legacy of death, I used the background of that world as the prototype."
Zu An's heart pounded—strangely enough, even though he no longer had a heart, he still had this familiar feeling: "I wonder if your friend is the Emperor of Fengdu?"
"No, he is known as Yama, the King of Hell, in that world."
Zuan was taken aback. There were indeed ten Kings of Hell in the Netherworld, but he didn't know which one it was.
Unfortunately, when he took over the Netherworld, not only the Ten Kings of Hell, but also all the other ghosts and ghost messengers had disappeared, so there were many things he could never understand.
"He was believed to be incorruptible during his lifetime, which is why everyone believed that he could be absolutely impartial as the King of Hell."
Upon hearing this, an image flashed through Zuan's mind. Just as he was about to ask another question, the other party said, "I have already revealed too much. You must enter the trial immediately, or you will incur the restrictions I set up back then."
As soon as He finished speaking, Zu'an felt dizzy and disoriented, as if he had entered a huge vortex of time and space.
I don't know how much time passed, but everything around me became calm.
He found himself lying on a bed, and when he pulled back the covers, he breathed a sigh of relief to find that he was no longer in his previous skeletal form.
Although it seems like consciousness remains even after turning into a skeleton, who can get used to that kind of body?
Just then, an overwhelming sense of weakness washed over him, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
He then realized that all his cultivation had disappeared. Although his blood and qi were still relatively abundant compared to his peers, they were far too weak compared to his daily life.
What distressed him even more was that the divine sense that once enveloped the vast expanse had vanished, and now he could only see with his eyes and hear with his ears, always feeling like a blind and deaf person.
He tried to use all his skills, only to find that none of his usual overwhelming abilities were usable.
He even tried to call out to Mi Li, but there was no response.
It's so frustrating to be just an ordinary person...
The only thing to be thankful for is that Fireworks has now become a mortal, and she has clearly lost more than I have.
Thinking of this, his mood immediately improved.
He picked up a bronze mirror from the side and looked at himself, finding that his appearance had not changed, which made him even more relieved.
Next, I started to look around the room. The furniture and bedding were neat and tidy. Although they weren't fancy, they were all very clean, so I guess the family in this world was quite well-off.
