While the origin gods above were busy with their eting. The ones waiting outside and below were ecstatic as soon as the barrier ca down. After 800 years of anticipation, it was finally ti.
Gehald maintained his indifferent look and vigilance as he looked around. He could see happiness, gloominess, and various other emotions on the face and through the body language of the surrounding sovereigns. He spent so ti checking out the people around him, they would be his competition. Then he joined the crowd of sovereigns as they moved forward.
Below him, the various layers of power also trudged into the tower. It is remarkable that even with the large number there was no rushing. Only carefully ordered steps. As Gehald moved forward, he placed most of his attention on the entrance to the sovereign level of the tower.
It wasn't that much different from the ones below, just a harmless-looking swirling portal within the very large arched doorway. He didn't expect anything different, he just had to look to make sure because this was his first ti participating in the trial of heaven as a sovereign. Other tis he ca here, he was a King and a titan.
He wasn't nervous, he had planned for this for a long ti, and nothing could shake his confidence. Most of the people that enter the tower today will not co out 200 years later, and they will not be dying of natural causes.
Most of them have confidence in their prowess too. So of them are geniuses in their various planes or slaves raised by slavers. The people entering have various reasons and different hopes or dreams. But most of them don't achieve those aims.
These people might have co here hoping for the chance to break through, gain so battle experience, take so treasures, make so achievents, or claim their freedom in the case of slaves. Slavers will make a contract to receive whatever they brought out of the tower in exchange for granting a slave his or her freedom. But regardless of hopes and dreams, the reality is that people will die, and only one in five will make it out alive. As for the rest, their hopes and dreams will die with them.
Gehald also has his hopes and dreams. To make his grand plan of acquiring as much power as possible, he has made a lot of sacrifices. He even had to descend into the abyss one ti to get a very important material he needed for his plan.
It is an understatent to call it a dangerous trip. He was hunted by hordes of demons, but he still made it back alive and in one piece. His confidence soared as he was thinking about that particular trip to the abyss. He reaffird his will and promised himself to at least survive the trial. His life remains the most important thing to have. With life cos possibilities.
When he got to the portal he felt himself being checked and scanned by a very powerful divine sense. He remained calm and was soon teleported away into the world of the tower of heaven. If he had been found wanting in power level for this gate, either above or below the requirent, he would have been turned to ashes. This is the cause of the first death, and many to co.
So people won't die in the tower, but outside of the tower because of their foolishness, and it happens every ti. More of these foolish deaths occurs among the transcendents as compared to the sovereigns, but yes, there have been sovereigns hoping to smuggle each other into the king portal. They paid with their lives.
There are no exceptions even for the case of soul contracts of soul bounds, summoning contracts of summons, and so others. Not to worry Mother high Heaven knows when you're being naughty or not.
He spread his divine sense as soon as he could after he was teleported. He scanned his surroundings for danger or other people. It is a habit of his at this point, a good habit but he didn't need to because there was no one around him and no danger.
He was transported to the location of the first trial of the elents, the trial of ice. History has shown that there would be no attacks, for now. The environnt is will be the enemy.
All he could see is white freezing ice all around, but there was a barrier around him that prevented the cold from affecting him. The presence of this barrier ant that it isn't ti for the trial to start. So he will just have to wait till the portal outside is closed. He sat down to ditate and keep himself in top shape.
24 hours later, which is way shorter than the ti allowed for the Titans, the will of the world descended. He received a ssage from her and in his status, there was a line that stated he was in the trial of ice with its details.
There will be 7 individual trials before the et and fight. During individual trials, you just have to try your best or die. The good news is that attacking or fighting is not allowed, so you can try your best without distraction.
The first individual trial is the trial of the ice world. Everyone has been teleported to the edge of this large ice world devoid of life. The trial is to make it to the center of the world without using tools or weapons. The first 30% that make it to the center get a mark that guarantees their life.
The marks are incredibly important and also useful during the et and fight. You get only seven opportunities to be the best 30% at doing sothing and earn a mark. If you don't have a mark after that, you die. Only those with a mark can enter the solo challenge.
In summary, the trial of heaven is a fight for the best of the best. You have to be among the best 30% in any aspect or it becos certain that you will not leave the tower of heaven at all and all your dreams die with you.
