Chapter 779: Challenge Start
Translator: Limostn Editor: Tennesh
During the past era, when there had been no vacant divine seats, what would have happened if someone succeeded in challenging a trial? The god who had originally occupied the divine seat would be temporarily displaced. After all, if an occupied divine seat was successfully challenged, it proved how weak the god was. And naturally, the god deprived of a divine seat would no longer enjoy the power of faith.
He would have to initiate a challenge of his own and succeed at the trial to retake the divine seat to once again enjoy the power of faith. This was how the divine seat trial used to work. However, Chen Feng’s trial was an incredibly special one. Due to the unique circumstances and the deliberate doings of certain people, what had appeared this time was the incredibly rare resonator’s divine seat trial. In this trial, only 1% of the original’s god strength would be exhibited.
Moreover, this trial had been approved by the original god himself, the Sin God. Therefore, the Sin God had completely fallen into this trap set for him. However, even 1% of the strength of this incomparably powerful Sin God was not something a regular person could ever hope to contend with, especially in this situation where, with the exception of Chen Feng, only apostles were taking part in the trial.
“In short… that fellow is also displaying the strength of an apostle.” Chen Feng frowned. He could see that the newcomer was extremely powerful. However, the silhouette was still not necessarily more powerful than the Sin God. Moreover, Chen Feng also had a question. Who exactly was this fellow? Under the Sin God’s control, nearly all the gods and apostles were subservient to him. If so, who was this that had dared to challenge the Sin God? There was only one possibility. This challenger was not a person of this era, the era of Sin God.
Chen Feng thought of a possibility. “A god that awoke during the Genetic Era?” This situation was only possible if this god had awoken during the Genetic Era and had intelligently hidden his aura and not participated in any battles. However, after the Sin God had recovered, the entire world was transformed by him. As such, his senses should have swept past the entirety of the world. How had this fellow remained hidden from the Sin God?
The only answer to that was outer space. Chen Feng gasped in shock at this realization. Suddenly, he recalled how, back then, numerous spaceships had headed to outer space, yet all of them had vanished without a trace. Toward the end, the Genetic Union had indeed deployed some people to investigate this. Alas, they had still been waiting for results when the Sin God recovered and conquered the world. In short, this god had hidden in outer space?
“Oh—”
Suddenly, Chen Feng’s heart started palpitating.
Suddenly, a terrifying power emerged, seemingly trying to erase something. However, after encountering the miniature person within him, the power was noiselessly erased.
“That power has appeared yet again.” Chen Feng’s eyes gleamed coldly. This time, he had been able to clearly sense the existence of the power. Outer space… So long as one thought about it, that power would emerge to erase that thought? Why? Because of that god? It seemed like he had indeed been made a chess piece. Indeed, he was a chess piece. However, from the moment that god had started involving himself in everything that was happening, which of them was not but a chess piece?
Chen Feng’s eyes gleamed coldly. “Now, let us see who shall be laughing in the end…”
Bang!
He strode forth into the alien world. Next, the entire alien world throbbed with godly power, signifying the official start of the trial.
…
Within the alien world, the moment the silhouette appeared, several apostles were killed in succession by him. This shocked the other apostles so badly that they all started getting out of his way.
“Who is that fellow?”
“No idea. Is he a newcomer like Chen Feng?”
“He is very strong. The apostles that have been killed were all level 15 apostles, yet not a single one of them was able to endure one of his moves.”
“Damn it.”
All the apostles had unsightly expressions.
“He is heading directly toward the divine seat.”
“Seems like we are nothing to him.”
“Hehe. Those god’s descendants will not watch on as this divine seat is stolen right before them.”
“Let us go nearer as well.”
They followed along noiselessly. At this time, in the numerous crooks and corners of this alien world, something similar was happening. Even if the regular apostles had charged into this world the moment it opened, when the truly powerful apostles appeared, they were reduced to nothing but cannon fodder.
Pu! Pu!
Blood splattered everywhere. One powerful apostle after another revealed themselves. There was a certain apostle with extraordinary strength. The moment he entered this world, he started slaughtering everyone he encountered. Every apostle that dared to provoke him was ripped apart, showcasing his dreadful strength.
“It’s him! I have seen him once before. He is the descendant of a major god,” a random apostle cried out in alarm.
At the same time, in a different part of the alien world, a certain apostle had just entered.
In his hand was a huge hatchet that was glowing with overflowing colors. A single wave was all it took to kill an apostle. Moreover, with a single wave, even a mountain was cut in two. His strength was evident.
Yet another apostle cried out in alarm. “I have seen that apostle as well.”
“Good lord, he is the brother of a certain powerful god.”
“I always thought that he was already a god. Unexpectedly, he has yet to participate in a trial.”
…
Since the level of this trial was too low, all the apostles that had previously been unqualified to participate in such a trial were now here.
“Tsk tsk, so this I what a divine seat trial is.”
“Is this your first time?”
“Of course. I am but a mere level 8 apostle. Haha, don’t worry. I will most definitely not enter deeply into the world and will only be staying in the outer region.”
“Haha, let us bask in the light of these big shots as they ascend into godhood.”
“I suppose it is sufficient for us to enjoy the soup when the big shots are eating the meat.”
Such words started appearing from the mouths of some of the apostles. Evidently, a lot of them were only here to join in the fun.
A certain level 15 apostle frowned when he saw these apostles. “These people are clearly feeling suicidal.” It was fine for them to be weak. However, were they not worried that the mere fluctuations of the battles here would injure or even kill them? After all, they were truly too weak.
“It doesn’t matter. They can do whatever they want. And to fish in troubled water, is this not how the world has always been?” a friend of the level 15 apostle said.
“True.” He chuckled before lowering his voice, “Will you be participating in this trial as well?”
“Me?” The friend smiled bitterly. “I am but a mere level 12 apostle.”
“Heh, who are you trying to trick?” the other apostle said in a low voice. He started egging his friend on. “Your combat power is different than your actual level. I can remember clearly how, when you were a level 1 apostle, you were already capable of defeating a level 13 apostle. Now that you are already a level 12 apostle, this trial… there is no harm in trying, right? Perhaps you might even succeed?”
The friend shook his head. “Nope, there is absolutely no chance of me succeeding.”
“Because this is related to the Sin God?” The apostle appeared rather dispirited. There was nothing they could do about it. A trial like this was unprecedented, and some could already see that this was in some way related to the Sin God. However, they had yet to figure out what exactly was going on. Instinctively, they all believed that this was just a trial the Sin God had activated so that a certain person he had picked could ascend into godhood.
“No. Rather, I am not joining because of the trial-taker this time.” He laughed and continued, “Chen Feng is not a person that will ever stay obedient.”
The other apostle was filled with doubt. Chen Feng? That cannon fodder? Could he truly exert any sort of influence on an event at this level? He could not understand this reasoning. However, as he saw his friend’s solemn expression, he instantly had a feeling that there was some profound mystery at work here. Perhaps this friend of his that had always been mysterious had once again obtained some secret information not known to anyone? It seemed like this trial would become interesting.
