Ying Huo: "Wow! Half an hour?" She couldn't help but look at the dishes on the table, then said unhappily, "Seriously? Half an hour? How can we possibly finish all that food?"
Chen Ping took a slow bite, completely ignoring the half-hour timeframe mentioned on the radio.
Looking at Chen Ping, who didn't seem to care at all, Ying Huo said dejectedly, "Chen Ping, it's only half an hour! We can't finish eating in that time."
After swallowing his food, Chen Ping said, "Are you stupid? If you can't finish it, can't you just put it away? Anyway, it's stored in my spatial item, so the food won't spoil."
Uh, Ying Huo was stunned for a moment. Oh right, she felt stupid again. Waaah!
Seeing Ying Huo's sullen face, Chen Ping shook his head and continued eating.
......
On the other side, all the teams in front of the BOSS's treasure vault looked at each other in surprise, and then breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they had reconciled, otherwise, they would definitely not have been able to determine a winner in such a short time.
Even if a winner is determined, there is still not enough time to enter the treasure vault and obtain the treasure.
Half an hour is far too short, isn't it? They didn't even have time to hold a meeting. After all, it was made clear when they formed the team that the treasures in the BOSS's vault would definitely be redistributed.
Well, in half an hour, we'll be teleported to the final level. At that time, even our teammates won't know. Although they're not teammates now, they're just a temporary team.
After thinking it over, the temporary leaders decided against it. It was too late to control things in the last half hour, since they had reached the final stage and no one would give up the treasure they had already obtained.
So why would she/he go through all that trouble? You know, if things go wrong, at the final stage, he/she might be betrayed by his/her own team members.
......
Half an hour passed quickly, and suddenly everyone felt a darkness before their eyes. Clearly, the Death Arena had begun its teleportation.
Chen Ping looked annoyed, but had he just heard Ying Huo's screams?
......
Ying Huo stared blankly at the pitch-black expanse before her. The teleportation to the Death Arena had come so suddenly, without any warning! She hadn't even had time to pack the dishes into her spatial storage!
┭┮﹏┭┮Waaaaah!!
......
The final stage of the event's rules, titled "Final Chapter: The Choice of the Gods," is the most complex and challenging part of the Death Arena.
All the tens of thousands of challengers who were teleported here from the four activity areas found themselves in a vast, desolate land surrounded by distorted void, with stars appearing and disappearing, as if at the boundary between realms.
The challengers exchanged wary glances, the atmosphere heavy. The teamwork and trust they had built up earlier seemed to be re-evaluated. In the final chapter, there were no clear lines between friend and foe; everyone was a potential opponent and a potential ally, because there could only be one victor.
In the center of the arena, four enormous pillars of light rose, each representing one of the four activity areas. Their rays intertwined, forming a light curtain in the air, revealing the content of the final trial:
【Final Chapter: Trial of the Wise】—Each challenger must solve puzzles to test their wisdom. Wrong answers will deduct health points, while correct answers will grant assistance.
【Final Chapter: The Path of the Warrior】—Challengers must navigate perilous situations, either fighting or evading, demonstrating courage and survival skills.
【Final Chapter: The Realm of the Heart】—Challengers must confront their inner fears, temptations, and desires, maintaining their true selves, or they will be expelled.
【Bridge of Boundaries】Finally, challengers must cross the bridge. On the bridge, with each step, the bridge will present an illusion of the challenger who came before. Defeat the illusion to pass, otherwise you will be eliminated.
When the rules were announced, tens of thousands of challengers were in an uproar. The final chapter was a comprehensive test, not only of strength, but also a comprehensive test of wisdom, courage, mind, decision-making, and self-awareness.
Fortunately, not all three need to be challenged. After all, no one can guarantee perfection. The challengers began to disperse, finding a suitable starting point for themselves, and finally completing the final chapter's trial.
Some challengers choose the Trial of the Wise, where they rack their brains to solve difficult problems. For each problem, those who answer incorrectly will collapse in pain, while those who answer correctly will gain strength.
The path of the brave is a journey where challengers overcome obstacles or cleverly evade them. In each battle, the winners grow stronger, and the losers are eliminated.
The Realm of the Heart: Challengers confront their deepest fears. Some succumb to temptation and remain true to themselves, while others lose their way and are eliminated. The Bridge of Boundaries: Challengers cross this bridge to confront the illusions of the past. Some overcome their inner demons, while others fall off the bridge in defeat.
In the final chapter, the number of challengers dwindles, and the competition becomes brutal, with every step a matter of life and death. The challengers grow through trials of intellect, courage, mentality, and self-awareness. How many will ultimately emerge victorious? No one knows, but everyone understands one thing: there is no turning back.
Either become the victor, the king of the death arena.
Either become a loser, come empty-handed and leave empty-handed, there is no other choice.
......
Looking at the four pillars of light ahead, Chen Ping crossed his arms and thought to himself, "No wonder they say that in the final level, teammates might turn into enemies. Right now, everyone looks like an enemy."
But what if enemies become allies? Chen Ping was a little confused about this. He couldn't see where teammates were needed at all. The three final trials didn't seem to require any allies.
I carefully examined all three trial beams, but found nothing. Could this be the final challenge?
Chen Ping glanced at the last bridge. This bridge was quite wide; at least ten people could cross it at the same time. Could it be that they would have to cooperate to cross the bridge here in the end?
On the other hand, it seems like nobody knows who's a friend and who's an enemy these days.
Uh, or do you mean we have to pass these three tests before we know?
This conjecture led Chen Ping to focus his attention on the three who came first in the test. Would everything become clear once they passed the test?
Time passed second by second, and half an hour later, someone else finally passed the test of the Path of the Brave. Chen Ping, no, all the challengers who had not yet entered the test turned their attention to him.
Soon, the challenger stepped out of the pillar of light that represented the path of the hero. As soon as he stepped out, a pattern appeared above his head. It looked like the pattern of some kind of fruit.
The challenger didn't notice the extra pattern above his head. He looked around and, realizing he was the first one, excitedly ran towards the final boundary bridge.
