“Looks like it’s time…” Jacdo said as he walked out of his tent.
“Indeed, it’s finally time.” Chen Heng nodded.
By now, the pillar had gone through massive changes. Large amounts of faith energy turned into pure white light, causing the sky to become incredibly bright.
The light was incredibly resplendent, but it gave people a gentle and calm feeling.
Looking at this white light, people could not help but think of beautiful scenes.
Perhaps in the past, others did not discover the abnormal signs from the hero’s trial, but by now, it could no longer be hidden.
Everyone in this region could clearly sense the abnormalities in the distance as if there were immense changes going on.
The hero’s legacy had appeared.
Standing there, Chen Heng and Jacdo looked into the distance and could sense the changes in the distance.
As the two of them watched on, a massive golden door slowly appeared.
Pure white light covered everything, and standing there, Chen Heng slowly closed his eyes.
Within his mind, all kinds of memories were flashing.
Under the influence of faith energy, scenes continuously appeared in Chen Heng’s mind.
His shy first love, his great ambitions while growing up, his interactions with his mother and big sister… all kinds of scenes flashed in Chen Heng’s mind.
Only after a while did Chen Heng open his eyes and deeply sigh.
He realized that tears had flowed down his face, but they were now dry.
“What wonderful scenes…” Chen Heng lightly sighed as he looked into the distance, “In that moment, I felt that I returned to the past…”
“It’s a very unique feeling, right?” Jacdo said softly.
“Sir, the trial has begun,” Herlo said not too far away.
This time, Chen Heng had brought around half of his forces, and this included Herlo and the two others.
As people who had known Chen Heng for a long time, they had decided to join Chen Heng a long time ago.
Right now, looking at the white light in the distance, they looked a bit anxious.
They all knew the goal for this expedition, and seeing the hero’s trial begin, they could not help but feel nervous for Chen Heng.
To the people of this world, becoming the hero meant the highest glory.
If it wasn’t for the fact that ordinary people could not join the trial, there would most likely be countless people here wanting to attempt the trial.
That included Herlo and the others.
Right now, they stood by the side, looking at Chen Heng in anticipation, hoping that he would be able to become the hero.
If they could become followers of the hero, they would be able to die happy.
“It’s about time,” Jacdo said as he nodded, “You can go in now.”
By now, some of the people had gradually walked through those golden doors.
By Herlo’s estimate, about seven people had entered already.
“I’ll wait a bit longer; there are still some people who haven’t arrived.”
He looked in the surroundings and did not see those two familiar figures.
Hearing this, Herlo and the others felt quite surprised.
Jacdo glanced at Chen Heng and knew what he was talking about.
“It’s already time,” he said as he raised his head, “I wonder how their luck was. If their luck was bad, they might have been blocked outside and directly missed this trial.”
Before hero candidates became the hero, they were just candidates. Even though they were strong, they could not stand up to an army.
If their luck was bad and ran into a large force, it would not be surprising if they were blocked out.
In the past, Jacdo had seen many similar situations and was not surprised.
“No, they will come,” Chen Heng shook his head, feeling completely confident in them.
“Is that so?” Jacdo felt quite surprised and could not understand where Chen Heng’s confidence came from.
Even though he was the strongest existence in the world and represented negative faith energy, he did not have the Fortune Mark and could not see Fortune. He naturally did not understand that someone like Ali would not be stopped by obstacles like that.
As expected, some time later, fighting could be heard.
Large numbers of soldiers slowly fell, and the army surrounding this place was pierced.
Two figures ran out from the distance, rushing over—it was Ali and James.
“I’ll buy time for you, hurry and go!”
James was wearing black leather armor and held a sword as he rushed ahead and shouted, “Take this opportunity and go!”
“James!” Ali hesitated for a moment, but looking at James valiantly fighting and buying time for him, he made his decision and rushed ahead.
He was very strong, and in terms of faith energy, his was the densest here.
In terms of strength, Ali could rival a Great Knight.
As long as there were not too many people, they could not tie him down.
As James attracted the attention of the soldiers, he drew his sword and rushed before the golden door.
As everyone watched on, he rushed through and disappeared.
“Looks like he made it.”
Seeing this, Chen Heng’s expression was calm and he did not seem surprised at all.
