Before Avis's eyes appeared a huge castle, deserted for a long time, eerie in a dim shade.

There was nothing around, and a hazy red smudge obscured all the pathways around it, except for a large blue-green stone door in front of him.

At this moment, the quaint vine-strewn gate slowly opened, revealing a smooth and secluded path that seemed to show Ives the way to the interior of the castle.

"Let's go, my son, the trials ahead of you are what I have to offer. You are fortunate that this will be the last trial of Setia, and the most memorable one. ”

The soft voice came out of the sky slowly, still gentle and seductive, and people couldn't help but listen intently.

Ives walked forward uncontrollably, his body seemingly uncontrollable, walking faster and faster.

The boulders on both sides of the road are craggy, and many of them have lost their original shape due to weathering. It can be seen that this should have been a huge and planned square lawn area, but now it is overgrown with weeds, thorns, and a sign of decay.

Before reaching the main city, the ground beneath his feet changed dramatically again.

Huge chains broke through the ground and rose from the ground, directly tying the castle around it tightly, and the road ahead became a huge chain bridge.

At this moment, the castle was suddenly surrounded by a bottomless pool.

After that, a hazy wave of water vapor emerged from the water, and soon all the scenery was covered in a thick fog, and only the huge chain bridge was faintly visible

"Let's go, child!" the gentle voice sounded again, like a dream. "Don't worry, kid. All your companions will be in this castle, and you will meet again. ”

"Why should I believe your words?"

Ivis resisted the urge to find out, and spoke.

"You...... There is no choice......"

The faint female voice was mixed with a little helplessness, and spoke again. Only this time it shows the majesty of God even more.

"Okay!"

Avis shook his head vigorously, trying to get out of this desire to be dominated, trying to control his legs.

Whatever was in the castle, it involved something that Ives couldn't touch right now, and he didn't want to touch.

At this moment, at the mouth of Avis's heart, the pentagram totem seemed to suddenly wake up.

Unlike usual, the pentagram totem carried an unrivaled power, and directly swirled blue light and appeared on Avis's right hand.

In an instant, a sense of being lured and threatened vanished. Avis's spirit cleared again, and everything in his body returned to its original state.

Only the heavens and the earth are still hazy, and the chain bridge is still in front of you.

After a long time, only a gentle sigh was heard, and the woman who called herself the "Remnant God" said again: "Alas...... I'm not trying to force you to make a decision, it's just that I don't have much time to do, and I want to help you as quickly as I can, in my own way. ”

The woman's voice seemed to be explaining to Avis, and it seemed to be towards the pentagram totem.

At that moment, a yellowed, pale white piece of paper appeared in the direction of the Chain Bridge, glowing with a faint blue fluorescence. As if he was guiding Avis, he seemed to be rejecting the other temptations of this world, and he was still a domineering spirit.

That's right, just a piece of paper, from which this incredible majesty really comes from.

"The piece of paper called the preface?"

Ives subconsciously fumbled for the reindeer ring on his right index finger and blurted out.

"Well, I shouldn't be so arbitrary, everyone should make their own choices. ”

At the same time, the "remnant god" also spoke in a decadent manner, as if everything was out of her control.

After a long silence, Avis finally set off and walked in the direction of the Chain Bridge.

As soon as he got up and walked, the "Prologue" flew quickly back into Avis's ring, as if it had never appeared.

"In that case, then I'll go and see!"

With a wave of his hands, Avis cleared the fog that wanted to envelop him again, and walked towards the depths of the mist, the depths of the Chain Bridge.

......

"It doesn't seem like anyone's palace, and if I have to say, it's more like a church. ”

Soon, Avis walked to the other side of the Chain Bridge and walked straight into the castle.

As soon as you enter the castle, the first thing that catches your eye is the magnificent atrium, which looks like a temple carved with a ghostly axe.

The hall is made of countless polished and translucent marbles. There are many tall stone pillars lined up inside, and the momentum is majestic. The high ceiling leads to the sky, accompanied by countless sparkling colorful glasses, which are both real and illusory.

There seemed to be many passages around the main hall that led to the depths of the castle, and Avis was surprised to find that many people had entered the castle through the other chain bridge passages around it, and then continued to walk forward without stopping, and soon passed through the atrium and entered the gate of the castle that twinkled to nowhere.

"Yarlin! Yarlin! can you hear me?"

Avis was surprised to find his friend Arrin in the crowd and immediately shouted at the top of his voice.

However, it backfired, and Yarlin did not stop for half a minute, and walked directly into the stone gate in front of him.

"Hey, hey, Nina. Don't go any further, can you hear me?"

Avis screamed anxiously again, because in the crowd, she spotted Nina Randolph from Quentin Academy, and the girl walked forward without hesitation. It seems that you can't hear or see everything around you.

"Child, it's useless!

It's a trial.

Without the 'Seed' and the 'Book of Creation,' it is impossible for them to stop.

It's just you, and you have the right to choose!

You can choose to go back or continue.

It's out of respect for both things in your hands. ”

At this time, the "false god" with a light veil mask reappeared, slowly landed in the air, and stood beside Avis and said softly.

"Will they be in danger?"

Avis asked nervously.

"No! or ...... As long as some of them can successfully complete this path, there will be no danger. The pseudo-god whispered, as if it had nothing to do with her, then shook his head, chuckled, and continued to Avis. "However, I think the most promising of these people to make it all the way is you!"

"What if it's not done?"

A strong sense of terror welled up in Avis's heart.

At this time, he really realized that the soft-spoken, sister-like person standing beside him was not an ordinary person, but a "god" who had always despised life and was high up.

"Then keep going until someone succeeds!"

The false god still replied in her clear and beautiful voice.

"Then I choose to move on!"

After much deliberation, Ives chose to move on.

He didn't know if he would succeed, but among those who kept going, there were his friends, there were people he liked, there were his classmates, and his choice was self-evident.

Just when Ives wanted to say a few words to the "false god", he found that there was no one around him.

With a light sigh, Ives shrugged and moved his shoulders to try to get himself in the best shape he could be.

Then he continued to walk, following the current, in the direction of his own door.

......

When the heavy stone door was opened, a vast and simple atmosphere followed.

Ives didn't see the opulent old building, just a small room and a stone staircase that spiraled upwards.

And the furnishings in the room are also very simple. A long wooden table with some parchment paper and a closed closet were gone.

"What is this?"

Avis stepped forward and walked gently to the long table. I opened the letter and read it carefully.

Presumably, this should be something left by the "false god".

"All outsiders are hypocrites!

If you believe in the gods, then move on.

If you don't believe me, open your closet. ”

Ives frowned, what does this mean?

A moment of hesitation left Ives at a loss. How do I choose?

"Mr. System, are you still around? How should I choose? Any hints?"

Ives couldn't help but ask for help from Zhihainei, although there was a high probability that he would be ignored, after all, this problem had nothing to do with his kendo talent.

"Ding!Back to the host: Answering this question costs 100 points, do you want to continue?"

A line of golden light accompanied by the familiar sound of "ding" sounded in the sea of Avis's knowledge.

Avis almost screamed, what is this? The system responded to me? Can you help me solve the puzzle? Just consume 100 points.

Oh my God, am I dreaming?

"Ding!Please choose the host quickly, don't be cranky...... I just managed to upgrade the system. ”

The light in the sea of knowledge lit up again, making Avis feel reassured.

"Okay, good, no problem, spend 100 points, my God! Thank you so much for showing up. ”

At this time, Ives almost burst into tears, as if he saw his own soft flesh and blood grow up with joy.

"Ding! Host Avis, consume 100 points. Points remaining: 2250

The system will answer the question directly: How do I choose?

Answer: I ...... I don't know ......."

Three rows of shining light appeared in the sea of Avis's consciousness, almost causing Aavis to faint on the spot.

Are you here to be funny? No, aren't you...... Definitely came to trick me!!

The feeling of falling from heaven to hell in an instant almost broke Avis.

"Mr. System, can you be more reliable? Is this answer worth 100 points?"

"Back to the host: I really don't know...... However, I can give you advice. ”

"Well, what do you suggest?"

"All the people here, except for you, are not under your control. What do you think they'll choose?"

After a brief conversation, Avis seemed to be enlightened, and stood in place.

Instantly recalling the conversation with the "false god", Ives began to ponder slowly.

"It's impossible for them to stop. "Only you have a choice. "Then keep going until someone succeeds!"

And she calls herself a "god".

Then I know the answer.

Avis smiled, walked to the closet, and quietly opened it.

The closet was empty, except for a piece of paper stuck to the inside of the closet. There are a few words written on it.

"If you don't believe in the gods. So...... You too can be a god!"

Then came a burst of blue enchanting fire, which instantly burned the paper without leaving a trace.

A hint of mockery crossed Avis's lips, and then he turned around and looked at the spiraling staircase, as if he had a guide in his heart.

"It seems that this 'remnant god' is really obsessed!"

Avis tightened his wide mage's robes and stepped into the seemingly endless staircase.

At this moment, the kendo system in Zhihai was launched again, like a suffocated child, once out of control.

"Ding! Host: Avis

The system tailors your combat suit to suit you.

Cost points: 250

Does it need to be replaced?"
