"Do you think this trial is a test of whether we can complete the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber Plan?" Zu'an asked Yan Hua. The other party had set up such a big scheme and made everyone run around in circles. His wisdom was obviously top-notch.
"It's not that simple," the other party told her some information, and Fireworks returned the favor, "Think about it, if this plan is completed, who will be considered to have passed the trial?"
"Over the years, I have never heard of the transmission of the true gods being received by two people at the same time."
"Wouldn't the winner be determined by contribution level? Whoever contributes more wins?" Zuan asked in a deep voice.
Fireworks didn't answer his question directly. Instead, she asked, "You should know that those who fail the trial will die, right?"
“Not bad.” Zuan felt a little depressed when he thought of the endless staircase of white bones.
"So according to your contribution theory, if someone knows it will fail, why would they help others succeed? They'd definitely try every means to sabotage the plan and ruin its success. A lose-lose situation is better than a win-win situation." Fireworks said coldly.
Zu An's heart skipped a beat. It was indeed true; human nature could not withstand the test.
"So although we seem to be on the same side now, we are actually destined to never truly work together," Fireworks paused, a hint of coldness in his voice, "because only one of us is destined to pass the trial, while the others are all losers, and their fate is death."
Zuan felt a chill in his heart. Not to mention the fireworks, Tingxue and Isabella had also come to participate in the trial. Would they eventually end up killing each other?
However, he quickly said in a deep voice, "There should be no unsolvable problem in this world. I will definitely find a way to keep everyone alive."
Fireworks sneered: "Naive. You want to save everyone, but the more likely scenario is that you can't save anyone."
However, I still admire him a little. I had secretly followed him as a girl named Yan Hua and was deeply impressed by his vigorous vitality and never-say-die spirit.
The opponent always manages to find a glimmer of hope in a seemingly hopeless situation...
The thought had barely crossed her mind when she extinguished it. This was a trial set up by the true god, one that he could actually resolve.
"Let's cooperate. Although we may be enemies in the future, it seems we should join forces for now." Zuan didn't want internal strife, otherwise, with someone like Yan Hua dragging him down, he basically wouldn't be able to do anything.
"This kind of fake cooperation is meaningless. Rather than ending in conspiracy and betrayal, it's better not to be friends in the first place." Fireworks' expression turned cold, and he got up and left, seemingly intending to complete the mission alone and no longer act with Zaun.
“What if I really had a way to keep everyone alive?” Zuan called out to her.
The fireworks stopped at the door, but the person didn't turn around. They sneered, "These empty promises are meaningless."
“It’s not entirely without basis,” Zaun said in a deep voice. “I’m very familiar with this world, which is an advantage that others don’t have.”
“This only means you have a greater chance of passing this trial, it doesn’t mean the other losers won’t die,” Fireworks suddenly turned around, her eyes becoming dangerous. “I suddenly thought, why don’t I kill you first, that way I can eliminate the biggest competitor on this trip.”
Although she has lost her supernatural abilities, her understanding of techniques, combined with her current physical condition and strength, makes it possible for her to accomplish this.
Zuan was speechless: "There's another point you overlooked. It's impossible that the other participants in the trial were all teammates. Why did they all fail?"
Fireworks paused for a moment, then fell into deep thought.
Yes, such a trial opportunity is obviously very rare. What a coincidence that all the people who come for the trial happen to be a few good friends?
With her keen eyesight, she could naturally see that this world was created by a true god and did not require energy to operate like some formations.
In other words, if the true God so desires, He can create countless such worlds.
Therefore, it is not necessary to gather a group of people to start. It is more likely that many people will try the level alone or compete with other strangers, and will not face the same choice they are facing now.
So why is it that none of the many trial participants have succeeded?
Zuan then said, "You should know that the God of Death was killed by the other True Gods. Since that's the case, the others certainly don't want to see a new God of Death appear, so I suspect they will tamper with this trial."
Fireworks narrowed his eyes: "What you're saying is indeed a possibility, consistent with those guys' usual practices."
She sneered repeatedly, seemingly harboring considerable resentment towards those true gods.
"But wouldn't that make it even harder to pass the trial? It's very likely that instead of only one surviving, all four of us will die."
Zuan shook his head: "If no other true gods participate, only one person can pass this trial, which may really be unsolvable, and everyone else will die; but if other true gods participate, there will be variables, and with variables, there will be many more possibilities."
Fireworks was somewhat surprised: "I must say you have successfully convinced me. I hope that, as you said, we will find a way to save everyone."
Having interacted with them in the past few days, both Zu'an and those two women had helped her in some way.
While she wouldn't necessarily repay a debt of gratitude, she had no interest in killing these people unless it endangered her. Of course, it would be best if there were a way to do so.
He then added, "Shouldn't our top priority be to find Tingxue and Isabella's whereabouts?"
Zuan shook his head: "Although this world is a fake trial world, it is still very large. Now that we have lost our supernatural powers, finding them is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
"Are we just going to abandon them?"
"Of course not. Since this is the trial of death, I believe that fate will bring us together. The most urgent thing is to find Yang Guo and the Xuan Tie Sword."
Fireworks said in a deep voice, "You are more familiar with the background of this world. Where do you think we should look?"
“Originally, the Beggars’ Sect disciples were scattered all over the world, and their intelligence capabilities were second to none. But now Yelü Qi is the leader of the Beggars’ Sect. If we go through the Beggars’ Sect, it will be easy for information to be leaked.” Zu An thought for a moment, “Let’s go to the Tomb of the Living Dead first.”
What place is that?
"Pack your luggage first, I'll explain on the way."
Soon, the two of them prepared everything, bid farewell to Guo Jing and Huang Rong, and quietly left Xiangyang City.
Looking at the continuous Mongol army camps across the Han River, Yan Hua's expression turned solemn: "The Mongols are indeed at the height of their military power, far surpassing the Song soldiers we saw in Xiangyang. If it weren't for the Han River blocking the way, I'm afraid Xiangyang wouldn't have been able to hold out for so long."
“The place we’re going to next is under Mongol rule, so let’s disguise ourselves as I suggested before, otherwise we’ll be in trouble if we’re discovered,” Zuan suggested.
Fireworks said calmly, "No need. Although I have lost my supernatural powers, I am more than capable of protecting myself with the physical skills of this world. If it really comes down to a fight, even Guo Jing would be no match for me."
