When Shoko opened his eyes, he saw an endless amount of white. It was as if he was in the center of a white universe, and as far as the eye could see, there were no obstacles, no domes, no ends, not even the horizon. Such an empty and boundless white holy place made Xiao Ke feel the power of space for the first time in his life, and it turned out to be extremely vast, which was a kind of majesty, a kind of greatness, and it made people look up.

Xiao Ke looked at himself, he was **, and he didn't even wear a pair of underwear. Of course he didn't care about this, what he cared about was that he was in very good shape, his body that had been almost beaten into flesh before, now it was like a dream when he thought about it, not only that, but even the scars left in the previous battle were gone, the only special place was that on his left chest, there was a tattoo-like black mark, although the mark was small, it could still be seen that it was a humanoid creature with wings.

Xiao Ke moved his fingers, thoughtfully, for a while, and muttered to himself: "This must not be hell, so what is this place?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a voice like thunder suddenly sounded in Xiao Ke's ears: "This is the Soul Temple!" ”

Xiao Ke suddenly raised his head, and saw a scene that he could never forget in his life, an incomparably huge and majestic body slowly condensed from the void in front of his eyes, and finally, a man like the legendary Titan Giant, came out of the air in front of Xiao Ke, he had golden hair and golden eyes, and wore a head ring made of green leaves and vines on his head, and a golden robe that seemed to be woven of water and light, ** feet, his expression was calm and gentle, if it weren't for his too huge body, Then his kind smile is really easy to make people feel close, and now, Xiao Ke's height of 1.85 meters is less than half of his toes, and the feeling he gives people is only shock.

Xiao Ke looked up at this god-like existence, although his will was already fearless, the existence in front of him still made his mouth open wide, and he couldn't close it for a long time.

After a while, Xiao Ke asked his first sentence: "Who are you?" ”

"Hello, young trialist, you can call me Amansel, I'm sorry to have brought you to the Soul Sanctuary without your permission." Despite his gentleness, the thunderous sound still rattled Shoko's ears.

"The Temple of Souls? Over here? ”

"Yes, this is the Temple of the Soul, the core of the universe, the hub of space, space and plane, the origin and place of all souls." Amantel replied.

"You resurrected me?"

"No, I just reshaped your body. There is no other being than the temple capable of shaping the soul. At the time of your death, the Temple did not reclaim your soul, as the Temple chose your home Earth as the birthplace of the Trialists, and you were lucky enough to be one of the Trialists. ”

"Listen to what you mean, there are still many trialists, do you need to jump out and explain every one of them?" Shoko's tone was sarcastic, and he was not afraid to provoke Amansel.

"Yes, every trialist who first enters the temple will have a mind to guide them." To Shoko's surprise, Amansell answered him calmly.

"Split your mind? So you're just a doppelganger in front of me? Then your original must be a noble god! ”

"No, young trialist, I'm just the steward of the temple. Every soul originates from the temple, including me. In terms of the origin of the soul, all souls stand on the same level, regardless of whether they are noble or low. ”

Shawco smiled again with his trademark playful smile: "If I stood as tall as you, I wouldn't have to feel tired and my neck hurt to look into your eyes and speak." ”

"Sorry for the trouble. It's just that experience has taught me that if I don't play like this, it's always hard to be convinced. After saying this, Amansel's body flashed with dazzling golden light, and when the light dissipated, Amandel who was standing in front of Xiao Ke had become a normal human height.

Xiao Ke looked at the man in front of him who was casually getting bigger and smaller, and spread his hands: "Okay, I'll temporarily believe that you are indeed a considerate guy, but like you said, the temple picked me out, and I always need to do something, right?" ”

"All you have to do is pass the trials of the Endless Plane and find your way to the pinnacle of the Soul Temple. If you are finally able to pass the trial and reach the real throne, all your questions and confusions will be answered, and then, as a human being, all your wishes will be fulfilled," Amansel has become smaller, and his voice is no longer thunderous, and it is much more comfortable to hear.

"What if I can't pass the trial? Will it become fertilizer for the temple? ”

"Trialist, if you understand the true meaning of the soul, you will understand that the temple is the final destination of all souls, and death is not as terrible as you think."

"I'm not afraid, since you love to play games, I'm also picking up my life anyway, so I'll play with you." Xiao Ke smiled evilly, pointed to the tattoo on his chest and said, "This is the pet mark you printed on my body, right?" ”

Amansel shook his head: "No, it is a soul mark, it is the imprint of your own soul on your body, and your future battles and lives will be closely related to it." Master it well, this is the basis for you to pass the trial. ”

After Amansel finished speaking, a golden light suddenly popped out of his hand, which melted into Xiao Ke's soul mark, Xiao Ke was shocked, and he felt as if there was something more in his consciousness.

"This is my gift to every trialist, try to get it out of the soul seal." Amansel said to Shoko.

Shoko tried to focus his consciousness in the soul imprint, and then, he felt a space unfold in his mind, although the space was large, Shoko felt that he could easily reach into every corner of the space with his hands, so he saw the gift that Amansel had given him, and easily took it out.

Xiao Ke took the gift in his hand and pouted: "I thought it was a good thing, it's just a set of clothes, as a god's gift to mortals, it's really a bit shabby." ”

Hearing Xiao Ke say this, Amansel was not angry, he smiled and said: "This gift is not the clothing itself, but a guide to how you use the soul mark, but you should note that the soul mark can only store items condensed by the soul, and other physical objects, you must have real storage space to store them."

"Soul items? So, so is this outfit too? Shoko became interested in the outfit in his hand, even though it looked ugly.

"Yes, to borrow the thinking of your hometown, you can call this outfit 'equipment'. You'll need to pass the Soul Mark to wear it. ”

"Equipment? It turns out that this so-called soul temple is a playground, and you are the legendary NPC! Xiao Ke said as he observed his body through the imprint, and then with a movement of his mind, the equipment was automatically put on his body. The attributes of the equipment have been implanted in Shawco's consciousness through the sigil: Trialist's Sportswear (Top, Gray Quality, Defense +1, Durability 12/12), Trialist's Sweatpants (Bottoms, Gray Quality, Defense +1, Durability 12/12).

"It doesn't hurt if you understand that. Young Trialist, I'm leaving, and if you don't make it to the end, then this will be the last time we'll see each other. Although you are not friendly to me, I like your personality very much, so I can provide a personal help, just for you. There is something in your body, it is a special item that your soul needs, you can sacrifice it, and a special item can increase your source of power. Although newcomers cannot enter the sanctuary until they have completed the Starter Trial, I can help you sacrifice in place of the Soul Altar, would you be willing to sacrifice it? Amansel looked at Shoko with a calm gaze.

Xiao Ke thought for a moment, and the muscles of his body squirmed like earthworms, and finally, half of the mother's body, which was like a beating heart, was spit out of his mouth. He spread out his palms and said to Amansel: "You are really like a torch, I have hidden this thing so hidden and you have discovered it, I don't know who it is sacrificed to?" You? ”

"No, it's a sacrifice for yourself. Here, apart from the temple, only the soul itself has the right to receive sacrifices, and the temple, which is our Creator, is certainly qualified to receive sacrifices, and I don't think you should be resistant to that. ”

That's right, one should not forget one's roots. But you explain so much, it's really too much to worry about, even if it's a sacrifice for you, as long as you can get the benefits, of course I won't throw aside the benefits for the sake of face, so how to sacrifice it? ”

Amansel opened his palm: "Put it in my hand and offer it silently through the soul seal." ”

Xiao Ke did not hesitate, as Amansel said, fused his consciousness into the soul seal, and silently recited: "Sacrifice!" ”

A violent golden light fell from Xiao Ke's head, enveloping Xiao Ke and half of his mother's body, Xiao Ke's consciousness suddenly went blank, and then, he heard a majestic, mechanical and vast voice sounding in his consciousness, and at the same time, a window similar to the in-game attribute panel also appeared in Xiao Ke's consciousness out of thin air: "

Inquisitor 00357 attempted to sacrifice a special item spirit conductor, is this confirmed? ”

Shoko replied in his consciousness: "Confirmed! ”

"The energy of the special item spirit conductor was sacrificed to the soul of Trialist 00357, and the talent 'Will to Terror' of 00357 evolved into 'Heart of the Dreadnought' (Dreadnought's Heart, passive talent, permanent immunity to fear, charm effects, priority: supreme)"

After the sacrifice, the light disappeared, and Amansel looked at Shoko with a smile: "Congratulations, No. 00357, you have laid a solid foundation for the journey to the real throne, I am gone, I hope we can meet again." After he left, the golden light on his body did not disperse, but rotated and distorted the space, and finally formed a vortex that emitted golden light, and the voice of Amandel came from the void: "Enter the portal, your first trial is about to begin, good luck, Shoko!" ”

Xiao Ke shouted to the sky: "So you know my name, it seems that I am very famous, even the gods have heard of me!" After roaring, he sighed lowly and said to himself, "The sacrifice is lost, and the heart of the fearless is immune to fear?" I don't think there's anything to scare me in the first place, hey! Rain, it seems that I can't see you anymore, I've come to an interesting place. ”

With that, Xiao Ke raised his leg and stepped into the portal.
