Chapter 321 The trial is over
In another endless void, Mo Ming slowly opened his eyes. He found himself standing in a pure white space, with no boundaries and no sound around him. Here, there was no oppression, no enemies, and he couldn't even sense a trace of spiritual energy fluctuation.
"This is... the final trial?" Mo Ming frowned slightly, still gripping the Demon-Suppressing Sword tightly in his hand, but no enemies appeared.
The deep voice arrived as expected, but it no longer carried the usual majesty or chilling tone. Instead, it became calm, even carrying a hint of something elusive: "Trial seeker, welcome to the final ring. There are no enemies, no challenges, and no dangers here."
Mo Ming remained vigilant and coldly asked, "What are the contents of the trial?"
The voice paused for a moment, then slowly said, "The final trial, I'll only ask you one question?"
Whatever your answer, it counts as a pass! However, different answers will correspond to different rewards!
Mo Ming was taken aback. He subconsciously gripped the sword in his hand, his gaze sweeping across the pure white space, but he found nothing unusual.
"Is it really that simple?" he muttered to himself, but a sense of unease lingered in his heart.
"It's that simple!"
"Alright, what's the question?"
"What do you want?" Upon hearing this, Mo Ming was somewhat bewildered, clearly not expecting the question to be like this.
"Answer, trial seeker." The voice rang out again, carrying an irresistible force, as if to etch the question deep into his soul.
Mo Ming fell silent. He had expected an even more difficult battle, and was even prepared to fight to the death against some powerful being, but at this moment, he was driven into an abyss by this seemingly simple question.
"What I want is..." he repeated softly, his gaze gradually becoming lost.
Countless images began to flash through his mind: he was once just an unknown nobody, enduring bullying and humiliation, barely surviving; later, he traveled to this world full of danger and miracles, gained power, and experienced countless life-and-death battles.
He once wanted a peaceful life, far from conflict; he also wanted revenge, to prove his strength to those who bullied him; later, he wanted to become stronger, to protect those he cared about, and even to change the injustice of the world.
However, none of these answers could put his mind at ease.
"What do I want..." Mo Ming's gaze gradually deepened, and he repeatedly denied himself in his heart.
"A stable life? No, that's just a cowardly excuse."
“Revenge? No, such a narrow goal can no longer drive me.”
"Become stronger? No, strength is just a means, not an end."
……
Mo Ming's thoughts were churning, and he even began to doubt whether there was really an answer to this question.
Just as he was about to fall into chaos, a picture suddenly appeared in his mind: he was standing on a vast land, with thousands of living beings at his feet, looking up at him with eyes full of awe and trust.
Behind him stretched the endless starry sky, and he himself was like the sole ruler of this world.
At that moment, his heart jolted, as if some long-dormant desire had been completely awakened.
“I understand…” Mo Ming said in a low voice, a light that had never been seen before gradually igniting in his eyes.
He slowly raised his head, looked into the void, and said in a calm but unwavering tone: "I will be... the king of this world."
As soon as the words fell, the entire space trembled. The deep voice rang out again, this time with an undisguised sense of satisfaction and admiration: "A king's heart, an iron will, the trial participant has passed the final ring."
As the sound faded, the pure white space began to collapse, and countless rays of light surged in from all directions, engulfing Mo Ming's figure.
……
When Mo Ming opened his eyes again, he found himself standing on a vast high platform, with ancient and mysterious rune arrays beneath his feet. The sky was filled with dazzling stars, as if the whole world was cheering for him.
In his hand, the Demon-Suppressing Sword trembled slightly, as if responding to his will. And in his heart, he was filled with an unprecedented clarity and power.
"I want to...be the king of this world," he whispered again, his eyes gleaming with boundless sharpness.
From that moment on, he was no longer confused or hesitant. He knew that his path was clear, and no matter how many difficulties and dangers lay ahead, he would be fearless and forge ahead.
next second.
Lin Ye and Mo Ming were teleported out almost simultaneously. When their feet touched solid ground again, a familiar scene came into view—it was the entrance to the Spirit Plant Garden!
The two exchanged a glance, and both could see a complex mix of emotions in each other's eyes: excitement, exhaustion, and a hint of anticipation.
"We're actually back here?"
Lin Ye spoke first, his voice tinged with uncertainty. He glanced around and found that there was no one else around; only the two of them stood alone at the entrance of the Spirit Plant Garden. The surroundings were silent, as if the life-and-death battles and extreme trials they had just experienced were just a dream.
Mo Ming nodded slightly, gripped the Demon-Suppressing Sword in his hand, and after confirming the realistic feel, he said in a low voice, "It seems the trial is over... But what about the reward?"
His tone carried a hint of worry, after all, they had gone to great lengths to pass the trial, but the rewards had not yet been distributed, which made him somewhat uneasy.
Upon hearing this, Lin Ye's lips curled into a cold smile: "No way, with such a big fuss, do you think you can fool us? If it's all for nothing, I won't let it go."
Despite saying this, a hint of wariness crept into Lin Ye's eyes. His experience had taught him that many things were not as simple as they appeared on the surface.
The two remained silent for a while. Suddenly, the surrounding air began to vibrate slightly, and a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation came from the depths of the spirit plant garden.
Immediately afterwards, a deep and authoritative voice resounded in their ears, or rather, exploded in their minds: "Trial participants, congratulations on passing the trial. Rewards will be distributed shortly, please wait."
Hearing this voice, Mo Ming and Lin Ye both breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Ye patted his spear and said with a smile, "Thank goodness, it seems this trip wasn't in vain."
Mo Ming remained vigilant, frowning as he asked, "What will the reward be? Back in the trial grounds, we were only informed that we had passed the trial, but the specific details were not mentioned."
Lin Ye shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Whatever it is, it won't be a bad thing. Being able to come out of that place alive is already a bonus."
As they were talking, runes suddenly lit up on the ground at the entrance of the Spirit Plant Garden.
A warm spiritual energy surged from the runes, enveloping the two of them.
