"The scales of justice will be used to assess the level of deception. The one with the higher score will win."
As the spirit of the broken world established the rules.
The scales returned to level, and the numbers at the bottom also returned to zero.
Jiang Yan's heart stirred, and he tentatively activated the power of his divine position.
The spirit of the scales of justice requests to speak with you. Do you agree?
"agree."
Suddenly, a timid voice echoed in my mind.
"Great Holy Lord of Light, has it been you who returned?"
Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow slightly.
"The products of this heaven seem to be far less intelligent than those of the dead."
He remembered that even an ordinary war chessboard in the Netherworld possessed keen awareness and could proactively abandon darkness for light.
Unlike this broken scale, even with the dignified Holy Lord of Light in front of it, it still requires him to actively activate his divine position before it will react.
It seems that if we could ever resurrect the third emperor, we would have to ask him to serve as a technical advisor to Heaven.
Jiang Yan shook his head inwardly, responding in his mind:
"Yes, it's me. Can I change your rules?"
"Of course, the Holy Light created all things, and your will is the fairest choice."
"Great, I'm in a hurry, so I'll shorten the process as much as possible."
Jiang Yan nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that although he was a little slow, he was still quite sensible.
"As you wish."
The spirit of the shattered world and the Grim Reaper were simultaneously sucked into the two ends of the scale.
Before the former could even begin to operate.
The eerie flame burning in Death's eyes suddenly went out.
Its entire skeleton was scattered on the ground, quickly losing its luster and developing cracks.
The black cloak aged and deteriorated rapidly, and the chilling scythe broke in two, covered in rust.
A gentle breeze blew in from somewhere, and the bones scattered all over the ground instantly turned to ashes and disappeared.
The scales of justice tilted to the bottom in an instant, the count below jumped exponentially, and then slowly revealed four words.
The outcome is already decided.
"Wait, this isn't fair! It hasn't even started yet!" the Spirit of the Broken World shouted, looking completely bewildered.
"As you said, this prop is the fairest and most impartial, so you have to accept the consequences of your bet."
Jiang Yan casually grabbed the scales, stuffed them into the Divine Kingdom, and turned to leave.
—Leave the rest to the other realms; they're experts at collecting spoils.
Controlling the divine kingdom to exit the shattered world, it continued flying towards the next remaining place of origin.
A flower in Paradise withered quietly, and Death, restored to its original form, reappeared in the same spot.
Everyone suddenly turned their heads.
Then I realized that I had forgotten about Death again.
Even witnessing it firsthand doesn't exempt you from punishment? No wonder it's the Grim Reaper's strongest ability.
Jiang Yan sighed slightly as he stumbled into another broken world.
The spirit of the world, also deceived by the various realms, has presented a test:
"Throughout history, only those who can remain calm and composed have achieved great things, so the contest I propose is about patience!"
A hint of smugness flashed across the World Spirit's face: "You need to send one of you to stand with me. Whoever moves first loses."
"I'll do it."
Jiang Yan guided the divine kingdom forward, standing at the entrance facing the spirit of the world.
The title "Expert in Internal Strife" was launched.
With its essence severely depleted and now only possessing the strength of a high-level god, the broken world spirit couldn't help but conjure a palm and slap it towards Jiang Yan.
The phantom of the divine mountain conjured by "Zhenshan Hai" appeared, easily blocking the attack.
"You lost."
Jiang Yan did not linger and once again manipulated the divine kingdom to turn and leave.
Given the Abyss's modus operandi, they will undoubtedly destroy everything in their path, so we must speed things up.
The third place...the tenth place...
Perhaps because they each chose the most suitable path, these world spirits passed most of their trials easily.
Only one world spirit was rather tactless.
Claiming to love being close to the Holy Light, they want to place two angels in the world.
Jiang Yan's divine kingdom shattered into pieces, and Anna's divine punishment completely purified it.
The dissipated primordial power is collected by all realms, ensuring that nothing is wasted.
[Because you forcibly destroyed a world, this star system has inflicted the negative effect "Sluggishness" on you.]
[Depressed Mood: Your troops will be in a state of low morale, and when it reaches a certain level, they will defect.]
"That's really a powerful debuff."
Jiang Yan sneered.
If it were someone else, they would probably have a headache, but for him, this negative effect is negligible.
The undead have absolutely no morale.
Angels can even exempt "internal strife experts" from such treatment, let alone morale.
"The source of all the elements along this star path has been collected. Now it's time to go to the center to converge."
Jiang Yan recalled the star map in his mind and manipulated the divine kingdom to fly straight forward.
There is a natural barrier on this road that could threaten even a powerful high god, but it is nothing out of the ordinary for a divine kingdom protected by mountains and seas.
After crashing into hundreds of abandoned asteroids and experiencing dozens of space storms, Jiang Yan was the first to arrive at the target location.
It was a vast, desolate starry sky.
There was almost no broken meteorite belt in sight.
A sweep of divine sense revealed that tens of thousands of kilometers to the north, an endless abyssal aura was churning and swirling, as if a nebula capable of destroying everything was surging forth.
"This is really a headache."
Jiang Yan, who was experiencing the high-difficulty Abyss Trial for the first time, couldn't help but mutter to himself.
The aura of high-ranking demon gods alone numbered no less than 100,000, and there were even quite a few super-ranking demon gods and several weaker abyss lords. In comparison, the battlefields he experienced in his previous life were nothing more than child's play.
The only good news is that this is not the Abyss World, so there is no corruption buff. On the contrary, the opponent is clearly surrounded by various negative auras, which suggests that they have pushed their way through.
"I just don't know where the Holy Light Ruins are located."
Judging from the divine sense, that faint, elusive pulling force originated from this starry sky.
But after repeatedly scanning with his divine sense, he found nothing.
After several fruitless attempts, Jiang Yan simply stopped. In the current situation, even if he discovered the ruins, it would be impossible to safely go in and explore them.
He stood at the entrance to the Kingdom of God, waiting quietly.
Meanwhile, the Abyss army continued to increase its numbers in the north, but did not launch an attack immediately.
It seems that the various realms and the Abyss have reached some kind of agreement.
About two hours later.
Several auras appeared simultaneously within the range of divine sense.
Four divine kingdoms pierced through the void and arrived.
"97, you came really fast."
The group was slightly surprised, but their attention was immediately drawn to the immense abyssal aura in the distance.
"My God, it looks like we're in for a tough fight."
"It's been a long time since I've seen an abyss legion of this size; even the Abyss Lord has joined the fray."
Even the usually lazy Clans looked rather unpleasant.
"This is bad. Even the Pioneer Group is this difficult. I wonder if Zhou Yuan and Lao Nie from the Wusheng Group can handle it."
Clans took a deep breath and said calmly:
"Fight to the death, everyone!"
"Prepare for battle!"
