There is no feeling of weightlessness, no feeling of braking. The technical level of Gray Fox is fully reflected in these details, as if the cicada shift warehouse is not operating at all.

However, when the door of the warehouse opened, what appeared in front of Ash was just an unfamiliar underground palace. There seemed to be a faint smell of mold in the humid air, the pure white stone road seemed to be formed in one piece without any gaps, and the golden dome was dazzling but not vulgar.

The trial is still a trial, nothing has changed.

But the person who could toast his hometown and the past with him is no longer with him. From then on, he only has the distance and tomorrow.

Ash drew out his sharp blade, walked straight out of the Cicada Transformation Warehouse, created ripples on the water-soaked pure white stone slabs, and rushed towards Yindeng who had just stepped out of the Cicada Transformation Warehouse!

clang!

There were no magic spirits, no miracles, and yet the two of them were able to carry out dozens of attacks and defenses in a few seconds. Sweet words and sharp swords passed back and forth, water splashed on the ground, and it was almost impossible to capture the afterimages of their hands and feet.

They are like sworn enemies, who want to kill each other with every move; but they are also close friends who know each other best, and no matter how fierce and brutal their attacks are, they cannot cause any damage to each other!

Although they did not have any clear physical sensation, they were all deeply aware at this moment that their twin was indeed gone.

Because the power of the twins has already flowed into their souls along the track of miracles. The "battle dance" that is almost perfectly coordinated at this moment is the best proof of this.

Before this, their senses could only predict the "first level of the future". For example, Ash could predict what Weisser would do next, and Weisser could also predict what Ash would do next, and then the two would make different responses and continue to predict.

Precisely because they need to adjust their decisions all the time, they will end up hurting each other, because they can also increase the difficulty of the opponent's decision-making through clever changes, thus catching them off guard.

But now, both Ash and Weisser felt that they could completely 'see the future'.

The future they saw had already taken into account the fact that "the other party could also see the future clearly". Then, after infinite overlapping decisions, the two people's predictions converged into a perfect spiral, so no matter how fiercely and fiercely they fought, they could not cause any harm to each other.

Suddenly, they found that they could not only see the future clearly, but also get closer to——

Weaving destiny.

They all saw that each other would not die in such a fight, so they would not be hurt.

Almost at the same time, Ash and Visser stopped. Then Ash took three steps back and kept a distance from Visser.

When they can see the future clearly, there is no need to maintain a safe distance. Even if they are close to each other, they cannot assassinate each other. No matter how far the distance in space is, it is not as safe as the instant in time.

Ash's actions were just to show his attitude.

So Weisser walked up to him very relaxedly, and even a rare hint of smile appeared in her voice: "Did you ever hope for a moment that this was just an illusion?"

“We are this kind of creatures. When we are sad, we hope that everything is just a nightmare. When we wake up, we will have nothing. When we are happy, we are afraid that everything is just a dream. When we wake up, we will have nothing.”

"Only eternity is not afraid of loss, only eternity can possess everything. Even if you kill me, what does it matter? What is lost will not come back."

“This is the sadness of living in an illusion.”

Ash stared at the man hiding behind the fox mask, "Are you so afraid of death, Silver Lantern?"

Weisser sneered as if she had heard a joke, "I'm afraid of death?"

"It is precisely because of fear that you are so stubbornly looking forward to the journey after death, and you are willing to beautify it and pray for it." Ash said, "But who is not afraid? After all, death can take away all tangible things. People like you who have nothing will naturally try every means to escape death."

"But we are different," he said. "Love, respect, friendship, longing...the treasures we have cannot be diminished even by death. Longing will pass through the veil of death and keep us connected."

The effects of the cicada metamorphosis are barely noticeable.

If he hadn't known about the cicada transformation, Ash might have thought that the enhanced senses were the result of his own efforts. Fortunately, he knew all the silent efforts, so he could remember that the twins' thoughts flowed in his blood.

"What's the point of your nonsense, which is ten meters above the ground and only survivors are qualified to say?" Weisser sneered, "If there is a chance to keep half of your body alive, would you give up? You wanted to kill me just now, wasn't it because I took up one of the places, and you were angry and felt that I deprived him of the chance to survive - but do I deserve to die up there for you? I didn't force you to enter this trial!"

Ash looked at her in silence, and finally nodded: "Yes, you did nothing wrong just now, I was just taking my anger out on you. What I said was just what I heard from the necromancer, it was just a eulogy used by the living to comfort themselves..."

"But you had to rush to enter the Chanchang Warehouse, while I was let in." Ash wiped his eyes gently and said seriously: "This is the difference between me and you."

Weisser originally wanted to take this opportunity to torture Ash.

Guilt, anger, despair, depression, sadness, fear... anything is fine, even if he wants to fight with her for three days and three nights, she just wants to see Ash hysterical, preferably with a distorted expression of anger and tears of sadness, and it would be even better if he scolded her.

Am I not your best venting target? Blow out all your negative emotions in front of your enemy, let me see how miserable, ugly, desperate, and... lovable you are when you are tortured by fate.

What she hated most was the look of people who saw the truth of fate but still accepted the result calmly and continued to love life.

"You are such a disgusting person."

“Same here.”

It was meaningless to continue fighting, so they decided to start the final trial. As long as the winner was determined in the trial, life and death would naturally be determined.

The pure white road leads to the depths of the palace. Strangely, there is running water that reaches the ankles along the way. It is not because the palace has fallen into disrepair and underground rivers have seeped in. From the anti-slip treatment on the floor, it can be seen that running water is an integral part of the palace.

They looked back and saw that the Chanchang Hall was at the starting point of the Pure White Avenue. Behind it was a dead end blocked by a wall, on which a huge cicada-shaped pattern was carved. Now that they had come here, even though they had not seen any documents or information along the way, they could vaguely guess from the name of the hall that this trial might have something to do with the Fangyuan Chan Dafa of the Fire Cat God Era.

Ash and Weisser walked side by side on the cobblestone road. It was interesting to say that these two people who always fought to the death every time they met could move forward together calmly at this moment. It was not because they were about to reconcile, but because they knew they were about to reach the end.

The terrain of the palace goes down as it goes deeper. The starting point is actually the highest point, and the water flows down from the starting point. And every certain distance, there are four white pillars.

Weisser didn't pay much attention to it, but Ash felt that it looked familiar: white avenue, white pillars, golden dome, this combination seemed familiar to him...

Soon, they saw something unusual—stone bases for statues appeared on both sides of the passage!

It was a statue standing on a stone pedestal. The appearance of the statue was not worth describing, but its clothes quickly caught Ashweiser's attention: it was the same combat suit that they were wearing now!

This is a statue of a past trialist!

Their first reaction was naturally that the previous trial participants were petrified? Was this Divine Fire Trial a scam to cheat people?

But there is also a nameplate of this trial-taker under the stone base, "Brando Wu Bainian, legendary magician, majoring in the bitter and weak faction."

Seeing this, the two of them felt a little confused: It is normal for trial-takers to be cheated, but could a legendary magician also be cheated?

At this moment, Weisser finally had the opportunity to demonstrate her strengths - faced with something that might be a living being, she slapped it without hesitation, not caring at all about what was inside.

However, facing Weisser's attack, the statue was unscathed, and ripples appeared on the stone slab water surface. The two naturally realized that this was a miracle of kinetic energy transfer, and any attack on the statue would be transferred to the ground for distribution.

Even though the two's combat power at this moment is enough to defeat the two-winged magician, they are still unable to shatter the earth with their bare hands. Even if all the Crows Killer came, they couldn't do it... and they might not be able to do it.

As they continued forward, they found that both sides of the passage were filled with statues, and all the statues belonged to legendary magicians, not even a single sanctuary! Now even Weisser didn't think that there were real people in the statues - dozens of legendary magicians were deceived and turned into petrified statues? Did they really think that legendary magicians didn't have miracles like prophecy, truth, and destiny? If they couldn't resist danger, could they not predict it?

But the Trial of the Divine Fire here should be conducted by 16 people at a time, and at least 15 people will be consumed each time. Could it be that in the Grey Fox God Era, the Sanctuary is not as crowded as the Dog Legends, and legends can be regarded as consumables?

However, Weisser soon realized the error in her thinking: the winner is a legend, which does not mean that the other trial participants are also legends. It is very likely that it is 15 ordinary people + 1 legendary, and the legendary magician is helped to complete the trial ritual by consuming ordinary people.

In other words, these statues are probably designed as a hall of honor or something like that, just decorations... right?

Ash thought of a possibility: "Could they suddenly come back to life and turn us into statues?"

"Impossible." Weisser said calmly, "Time is the strongest poison. People may forget things when they sleep. These statues have existed for at least two hundred years. If a person really slept for more than two hundred years before waking up, he would probably have completely forgotten who he is, and even have to start from scratch..."

The two of them kept their mouths shut, Ash reflecting on why he spoke and Weisser reflecting on why she answered.

After walking for ten minutes, they finally reached the end of the palace passage.

It was a pedestal with a torch on it, burning with seven-colored divine fire, sometimes blazing white, sometimes dark blue, and sometimes lavender. The moment they saw the torch, their senses began to predict crazily, and in the future when countless decisions overlapped, they saw the same scene: they touched the divine fire, and then their bodies were ablaze with flames of different colors, resonating with the virtual world, and completely transformed into divine fire seeds!

They didn't just 'see' it, the moment they knew the future, the divine fire had already burned on them.

Ash and Weiss' faces changed drastically, they immediately realized what a bizarre design this was - it was ridiculous, there was no need for the divine fire to come into contact at all, as long as they 'touched' it in their sensory perception, the divine fire would burn directly towards them!

The medium for the burning of the divine fire is not matter, not sight, not sound, but perception!

No wonder only two people were left to enter the final trial. If there was only one person, he might use something like sleeves to test the foresight. But if there were two people and they were competitors, the first time they had the foresight, they would definitely rush forward and fully contact the divine fire, and then this mechanism would be triggered!

They could no longer escape the burning of the divine fire, and could only watch themselves being burned until their skin became transparent. In an instant, they all turned into glazed firemen, and then -

As the last trace of the divine fire converged into his body, Ash turned to look at Silver Lamp and found that not only was her mask fine, but even her clothes were not torn. This showed that the divine fire would not burn tangible objects.

He sensed it carefully and found that there was no change in the soul. The magic spirits were sleeping as usual, but he felt that the soul seemed to be more solid, and the magic spirits slept more soundly.

This is the final trial? No broken arms or legs, no brain damage, and even the combat part is omitted?

It’s terrible. If you don’t want to harm anyone, don’t suddenly burn me!

But in this case...

Ash looked at Weisser, his right hand tightly gripping the hilt of the sword, his eyes gradually turning cold. Since there was no chance to defeat Silver Lantern in the trial, he could only fight to the death.

However, at this moment, a loud rumbling sound came from behind. Ash turned his head and saw that the statues in the passage began to disintegrate and shed gray matter, as if something was moving inside and was about to see the light of day.

However, he was not too surprised, instead he felt relieved - in this trial full of evil atmosphere, a group of statues suddenly appeared, which would feel strange if he didn't have to fight Ash.

“Woo.”

Ash turned around and saw Yin Deng holding him tightly with both hands, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably. Although her expression could not be seen due to the fox mask, she was obviously in a negative state and could not even maintain her composure.

Do you want to take advantage of someone's misfortune?

As soon as this thought came to Ash's mind, his body had already drawn his sword and rushed forward. But at this moment, an unimaginable change occurred.

He was washed back by the golden water.

A golden water ball suddenly appeared outside the silver lamp, and then exploded instantly. The endless golden torrent directly blew away the malicious Ash.

Not only the silver lamps, but all the other statues were also shattered by the golden water, and then a surging golden stream gushed out, gathering into a torrent in the palace passage.

However, the golden torrent did not flow toward the torch base at the bottom of the palace, but flowed upstream to the initial starting point where the Chanbian Warehouse was located!

Ash and Weisser were swept up by the torrent and collided with each other in the flow. They saw uncontrollable fear in each other's eyes!

How could high-ranking magicians fail to recognize these golden streams that seemed to flow endlessly without roots?!

This is the virtual wonder from the Continent of Time, the water of the Golden River!

At this moment, Ash suddenly discovered something strange - why did the silver lamps and statues all emit golden river water, but he was the only one who was fine?

However, he soon deduced the answer: the only connection between reality and the virtual world is the Gate of Truth. The Gate of Truth of the silver lamp and the statue is probably connected to the Flowing Golden River, so he became the water source node of the tributary of the Flowing Golden River.

But he has no door to truth at all.
