Wang Yao understood that attending this hearing would be necessary to facilitate completing future trial missions.
“If you are willing to attend the hearing, stay where you are. I will report to the Lord God first, and you can wait for my notification,” Aunt Tian said.
“Alright…” Wang Yao sighed, riding on the “Immortal Sorrow” and waiting idly for Aunt Tian’s reply. He stared blankly at the empty mountains and fields in front of him, but before long, his eyes suddenly rolled upwards and his body slumped down under the wheels of the “Immortal Sorrow”.
Inside the forging space, Wang Yao stared at the seven life-extending clones on the ground, feeling utterly helpless and on the verge of tears. What the hell was going on? Had he been killed by the hunters again? Impossible! Even if he was stupid, he wouldn't die without knowing how, would he?
He suddenly had a bad feeling and hurriedly called out to Aunt Tian in his mind.
"I haven't seen the God Lord yet, so don't worry," Aunt Tian said.
"No, you...you check for me, just now, did the God Realm lose any strongholds?" Wang Yao asked anxiously.
"Ah... okay, please wait a moment." Aunt Tian agreed, slightly surprised.
A short while later, Aunt Tian replied that, as expected, in the Battle God Realm, the God Clan had voluntarily abandoned a stronghold that protruded from the Demon Clan's occupied territory.
"...The War God Domain has always wanted to abandon that stronghold, after all, it's too difficult to defend since it's deep in the Demon-occupied territory. Why are you asking about this?" Aunt Tian asked.
"It's nothing, you should hurry up and arrange the hearing," Wang Yao replied dejectedly.
As he had guessed, things turned out just as he had expected. Wang Yao was deeply worried. He had originally thought that the Golden Core stage mission was just to defend a stronghold in the God Realm, but he did not expect that this one was not the same as that one. The real mission was that the God Race could not lose a single stronghold!
In other words, the Protoss must ensure the stability of all their defenses before the Demons abandon their attacks on any of their strongholds. This is practically a strategic mission, not just a simple matter of holding a single stronghold.
However, upon closer reflection, this is actually quite normal. His mission during the Qi Refining stage was to survive for thirty days, while his mission during the Foundation Establishment stage was to change the outcome of a battle in a region of the God Realm. It's impossible that by the time he reached the Golden Core stage, his mission would have become the gain or loss of a stronghold within a region.
Thinking of this, Wang Yao couldn't help but feel a headache coming on about the upcoming trial missions.
No wonder Ao Guang said that most trial missions are death missions. This Golden Core stage mission is a death mission through and through. He is just a minor immortal at the quasi-Golden Core stage. What ability does he have to determine the situation of the entire God and Demon Battlefield? Isn't this bullshit?
This was only the Golden Core stage mission; Wang Yao didn't even dare to think about the Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, Void Refinement, Body Integration, and even Mahayana stage missions that followed.
Now, Wang Yao's only option is to ask the gods for help through a hearing. Of course, he could also research a clone technique and send clones to various strongholds to see which stronghold has a better chance of winning, and then quickly go there to intervene and repel the demons' attack.
However, he doesn't even know how many strongholds there are in the God Realm. Even if he develops the clone technique, he doesn't know where to send it. So, Wang Yao can only become a "sorrowful immortal" to make up for the loss of his sudden death, and then start to study the clone technique.
This kind of magic is different from "paper puppet". He must be able to maintain contact with Wang Yao's main body and also have some basic combat power. This is extremely difficult. When Aunt Tian contacted him again, Wang Yao had not even sorted out his thoughts.
“My Lord God has already made arrangements for you. Are you still in the God Realm?” Aunt Tian asked.
“He’s back from the dead,” Wang Yao replied irritably.
"How is that possible? Which divine realm's ranger? Logically speaking, as the subject of the hearing, the ranger should have received an order to suspend your execution, right?" Aunt Tian exclaimed in surprise.
“It has nothing to do with the hunters. I will proceed with the forging now. I would like to ask Lord Reclamation God and the other gods to instruct that the God Realm should not abandon any strongholds before the hearing. Is that alright?” Wang Yao said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry about that. Our divine realm has been severely eroded by the demons, and we will never easily give up any stronghold," Aunt Tian hurriedly replied.
"Didn't you guys just give up on one of them?" Wang Yao was furious when he heard this, but he couldn't directly confront Aunt Tian, so he had to swallow his anger.
The spiritual energy cone reappeared, followed by an electric fan with a crank. Wang Yao discovered that after this forging, the golden light in his abdomen was clearer, and the red lines were easier to sense.
But most importantly, through the subsequent strikes of the spirit hammer, Wang Yao unexpectedly comprehended a celestial technique. He also suddenly realized that death during the trial was actually necessary, but he simply had too few life-extending clones!
Wang Yao landed in a bustling city of the gods, which was likely facing an attack from the demons. The gods in the city all had grim expressions, and everyone was walking hurriedly, as if they were all nervously preparing to evacuate the city.
No passersby showed any surprise at the sudden appearance of a celestial being on the street; they seemed to be sleepwalking, immersed in their own troubles and emotions. Wang Yao took a few steps to a larger shop on the side of the street and reached out to grasp the pillar next to the storefront.
The pillars were made of wood and carved with flowers, birds, insects, fish, and many lifelike figures, probably depicting a story widely circulated in the divine realm. However, Wang Yao did not pay attention to the exquisite carvings on the pillars.
Aunt Tian instructed him not to leave this initial trial site, as a divine general would come to lead him to a hearing. Therefore, he no longer needed to hide his spiritual energy fluctuations and could use them to unleash the immortal technique he had just comprehended during the forging process.
