"Eh? Isn’t that the Mysterious rchant?"
As Chen Mo’s Skeleton Monster approached, the Mysterious rchant, who had appeared on previous floors, abruptly opened his eyes and looked over.
"I didn’t expect you to make it here. You even managed to repel the Guardian of the God’s Grave. Young man, you’re quite impressive."
A thought flashed through Chen Mo’s mind, and he used Divine Flicker to appear directly before the Mysterious rchant. "Repel? I’d say ’killed’."
"What!? You killed the Guardian of the God’s Grave?"
The Mysterious rchant was clearly taken aback. He imdiately closed his eyes as if to confirm sothing.
Subsequently, he looked up at Chen Mo with incredulity. "Even though you received a significant power-up, your attribute value hasn’t increased by a single point from the beginning. It doesn’t make sense. How can a Skeleton Mage possess such formidable combat power?"
"Nothing in the world is absolute." Chen Mo grinned and then asked, "I, on the other hand, would like to ask: you can survive so comfortably in a place like this. Surely you’re not just a simple rchant?"
"Haha, you’re right. But I’m not anything special. I’m just the Guider for trial-takers like you in this trial land."
"Trial land? What exactly is the purpose of this Mysterious Dungeon? Why do areas like the Grave of Gods and the God Forbidden Zone appear here? Isn’t this a trial instance limited to Level 10? Does the difficulty really need to reach that of a god-grade trial?"
"Accurately speaking, this place should be called the Chaos Origin Land."
"Chaos Origin Land? What’s it for?"
"The Chaos Origin Land is profoundly mysterious. Rumor has it that it contains Chaos Supre Treasures, items that even Gods desperately covet. But the Chaos Origin Land is boundless. No one has ever truly explored or understood its secrets. Even among Gods, few who enter ever return."
"Such a terrifying place is used as a trial land? Is this a trial or outright murder?" Chen Mo was speechless.
"Actually, this isn’t the true Chaos Origin Land. It’s rely a place the God Race created by intercepting so Chaos Source and replicating it. It’s dangerous, yes, but not as terrifying as the real Chaos Origin Land. The ’Great Terrors’ here are of the most inferior kind."
"Sothing this outrageous is still considered the most inferior kind!?" Chen Mo was shocked. He imdiately asked, "Then what’s the purpose of the trials here?"
"To select Talented Youngsters capable of venturing into the real Chaos Origin Land."
"A trial limited to just Level 10 can find talent suitable for the Chaos Origin Land?"
"Due to limited resources, we need to select a few outstanding individuals with potential and leadership qualities for special cultivation right from the start."
After saying this, the Guider gave Chen Mo a teasing look. "Typically, this assessnt requires leading a continuously strengthening team all the way to the end. You, however, fought your way here all by yourself. But then again, you are a summoning-type profession, so I suppose your leadership can be given so credit."
"Special cultivation? Will there be any resource rewards?" Hearing there were benefits, Chen Mo imdiately ignored everything else.
"The benefits are absolutely beyond your imagination, and it’s a long-term enhancent. As for what they are, you’ll see for yourself after you pass the trial."
"If the aim is rely to select talent, knowing full well that only a tiny fraction of participants can succeed, why cancel the death protection? Wouldn’t that an many people will die?"
"To venture into the Chaos Origin Land, one requires not only ability but also courage."
"The cancellation of death protection on the previous level was primarily to test your courage. That Guardian of the God’s Grave isn’t actually lethal; he wouldn’t kill you. You only needed the courage to challenge him and manage to deplete a certain percentage of his Health to pass the test."
"But I never imagined that you would actually manage to kill him!"
"As for the cancellation of death protection on this level, it tests not only your courage but also your comprehensive abilities. Let ask you, if you knew that dying on this level didn’t matter, would you still be as cautious as you were when you first entered this dungeon?"
It was quite obvious that when the Guider closed his eyes earlier, he had been observing all of Chen Mo’s actions on this level.
Chen Mo thought for a mont and indeed, if he had known that dying here was of no consequence, he would clearly have been much more casual than he was now. He certainly wouldn’t have been so ticulous and cautious, treading so carefully.
"It seems you already have your answer. Only when constantly facing the threat of death can one’s potential be maximally stimulated."
"You just said that the cancellation of death protection on the previous level was false, that the Guardian of the God’s Grave doesn’t actually kill people. Since you’re telling such crucial information, doesn’t that allow to guess that the cancellation of death protection on this level might also be a fake rule?"
"No need to guess. Even if I explicitly told you right now that this rule is indeed false, would you dare to believe it?" The Guider gave a playful smile as he looked at Chen Mo.
Chen Mo smiled helplessly. "Indeed."
Regardless of whether this rule was true or false, before the Heavenly Path’s Hint explicitly inford him, he wouldn’t dare believe this rule was false. After all, if anything went wrong, it would cost him his life.
"Thank you for your clarifications. However, I have one more thing I’d like to ask about. What exactly is this so-called ’Great Terror’? Why was my Skeleton Monster instantly killed even though it possessed the Immortal Ability, which should have prevented death for five seconds?"
