Chapter 1058: Down-to-Earth, Steadfast Faith
“Human perception can be manipulated. Whether it’s vision, hearing, sll or touch, to put it bluntly, it’s all the result of biological electric currents and neural information stimulating the brain.”
ng Chao narrowed his eyes and sized up the surging undercurrent and the howling gale of the abyss. “As long as the spirit magnetic field is sufficiently complex and the vibration of the psionic ripples is sufficiently exquisite, it’s possible to interfere with the brain waves of humans and create any illusion, causing people to fall into unimaginable worlds… or nightmares.”
Ice Storm cald her mind.
Her mother was a witch.
It was different from magic and divine spells that originated from Holy Light.
Witchcraft originated from the human heart, attempting to activate the power in the deepest part of the brain.
Therefore, wizards and witches also had a profound understanding of the human brain that far surpassed that of ordinary people.
After being reminded by ng Chao, she imdiately reacted.
However, she was still very curious. How could ng Chao react faster than her.
Could he be a wizard too?
A wizard with black hair and black eyes. How interesting.
“How do you know?”Icy Storm asked with Bright Eyes.
ng Chao Shrugged.
There were a lot of traps in the two Archean ruins in the monster mountain range. They were created by creating illusions.
Many of the demon gods created by the monster’s main brain were also very good at mind control and illusion attacks.
After returning from the apocalypse, his soul had been tempered in the flas of the apocalypse. His brain had been greatly developed, and he was even immune to most of the ntal attacks. In the fierce battle with the monster civilization, he gradually grasped the ability to see through illusions.
ng Chao removed his helt and knelt on one knee. He pulled a lock of hair from his head and brought it to his mouth to blow lightly.
The lock of hair imdiately flew into the abyss.
It was swept up and down by the strong wind.
Then, it was sucked into the bottomless darkness and disappeared.
At first glance, whether it was the trajectory of the hair flying or the strong wind blowing at his face, the needle-like stinging pain was real.
But ng Chao discovered that when he sent out the hair, his eyes and the depths of his ears had sensed extrely weak spiritual waves.
Two extrely weak spiritual energies had invaded his visual and auditory nervous systems respectively, interfering with his perception and forming a lifelike illusion in front of him!
“That’s right, this is an illusion.”ng Chao confird again.
“Even if this abyss is really an illusion, how are we going to get there?”Ice Storm asked from the side.
“Maybe –”
ng Chao Thought for a mont. “We can just walk straight to the Abyss when it doesn’t exist.”
“It can’t be?”
Ice storm frowned deeply. “Just like before, we can just walk straight to the abyss — there won’t be any unexpected incidents this ti, right?”
“I don’t think so.”
ng Chao muttered, “You should know better than I do the significance of the temple built by the Tulan civilization — firstly, to worship the ancestral spirits, and secondly, to test the blood descendants.
“The chanisms in the temple are both to guard against intruders and to test whether the new generation of Tulan Warriors are qualified to inherit the power of their ancestors.
“Since it is a test, there must be a correct answer.
“You should know that in the whole of Tulan, the two of us are not too weak. If we can’t pass the test even after racking our brains and using all our skills, how many people will be able to pass it?”
“That’s true.”
Bingfeng nodded in agreent, “After all, the scale of the blood skull temple is not too big, and its level is not too high. It is far from the main temple of the Blood Hoof clan and the main temple of the Blood Hoof clan outside black-corner city.
“As long as we receive Casavar’s blood, many gladiators who are far inferior to will be able to enter this place to offer sacrifices to the warriors of the past.
“There’s no reason for us to be trapped in this nonexistent abyss.”
“Indeed.”
ng Chao deduced based on his experience of exploring the Archean ruins, “As far as I know, similar chanisms don’t necessarily require astonishing combat strength or divine techniques to pass. Many tis, the tests are instead so very basic abilities, as well as unknown things like ‘opportunities’and ‘potential’.
“So ordinary people, even if they don’t have the strength to truss a chicken, can still pass through the chanisms in a daze and obtain unparalleled strength.
“So people, even if they have mastered the ability to slay Tigers and slay dragons, split mountains and split rocks, ride the wind, and even control lightning, will still disappear into the depths of the chanisms, and no one will be seen alive or dead.
“Considering that the level of this temple isn’t high, we shouldn’t complicate a simple problem. We should put ourselves into the identity of the lowest-level clan warrior and think about which aspect of our potential this abyss wants to test.”
“How can we guess it?”icestorm blurted out.
“Not guessing, but thinking.”
ng Chao’s mind raced, and he vaguely grasped sothing.
He asked icestorm, “Just now, when you saw this abyss for the first ti, what kind of emotions erged in the bottom of your heart?”
“This…”
Icestorm thought for a mont and said with certainty, “Fear, of course, is fear. This has nothing to do with strength. I think, when anyone first sees such a large-scale abyss, the first emotion that erges from the bottom of their heart is definitely fear.”
“That’s right, it’s fear.”
ng Chao snapped his fingers lightly. “I feel that this chanism is testing our ability to overco fear, which is also courage.”
Icestorm’s eyes lit up.
High-level orcs were the race that worshiped bravery the most in the entire Otherworld.
Moreover, they believed that courage had nothing to do with strength. It was sothing that ca naturally to them.
“There’s no need to be too strong in battle, only astonishing courage. In other words…”icestorm thought quickly.
ng Chao was already one step ahead of her, stepping out of the cliff.
Ice Storm widened her eyes.
Just like how she had watched ng Chao break into the first trap, she didn’t have ti to cry out in surprise.
Then, she saw the strong wind whistling in from all directions as ng Chao stepped into the air.
However, it didn’t disturb his life magnetic field and blew him into the darkness. Instead, it condensed into a stepping stone as thin as a Cicada’s wing and as hard as iron under his feet!
The pitch-black stepping stone was not much bigger than ng Chao’s feet, and it did not reflect any light. At first glance, it was exactly the sa as the surrounding darkness.
However, ng Chao stood steadily on it and took a second step forward.
As expected, the whistling squall condensed into a second stepping stone in front of him.
Just like that, ng Chao took seven steps forward in one go.
The squall continuously condensed into stepping stones under his feet, gradually extending into the sky above the abyss into a small path that was as thin as hair.
ng Chao stood still as if he was standing in the void, turning his head to look at the ice storm.
The ice storm steeled its heart, stepping on ng Chao’s footsteps and also walking on the abyss.
The two of them looked straight ahead and took more than a hundred steps in one go, arriving at the center of the Abyss.
The Darkness was endless in all directions. It was like a raging wave of darkness that continuously squeezed their souls, making them feel extrely small and that they would be completely devoured by the darkness at any ti.
The ice storm felt as if the world was spinning.
Finally, she could not help but take a glance at the abyss under her feet.
Even if she was rational, she was very clear that such a terrifying abyss could not exist under the blood skull arena.
Her senses and fear instincts were still screaming hysterically in the depths of her brain.
She swallowed hard and mumbled, “If… If all of this is an illusion, what is the real thing under Our Feet?”
“I don’t know. Maybe it’s a solid ground,”ng Chao said.
“In other words, we won’t fall into the Abyss at all?”
Ice storm said, “Then, how should the chanism punish those who are afraid and fail the test
“By controlling one’s perception, the illusion might be able to kill people.”
ng Chao said, “Perhaps, a person who falls into the Abyss in the illusion will still be smashed to pieces. Of course, his bones were not smashed, but crushed by his muscles, which were tightened to the extre.
“On the other hand, as long as you realize this and believe that you are walking on the right and solid path, you don’t have to be afraid that you will be smashed to pieces.
“Look, the end is here.”
Ice storm was slightly startled. When he looked up, he saw a cliff that looked like a tusk that was similar to the beginning appearing in the dark void.
“So Fast?”
The ice storm rembered that he had only walked through half of the abyss. When he looked up, he did not see anything floating in front of him.
This cliff seed to appear out of thin air. It was extrely strange.
“Since the Abyss does not exist, as long as we have enough faith, the end point will appear at any ti.”
ng Chao said, “Perhaps the second chanism is only a few dozen steps long. We have been spinning in circles under the guidance of illusions.”
Now, they were only three steps away from the finish line.
Three Black stepping stones silently appeared in front of them.
Each stepping stone was an arm’s length apart.
This was a distance that even untrained rats could easily cross.
ng Chao stood in front of the three stepping stones.
Gazing at the finish line that was so close to him, he pondered for a long ti.
Then, he took a step forward.
Without hesitation, he stepped on the two pieces of void between the three stepping stones.
Ice Storm widened his eyes.
He thought ng Chao had miscalculated the distance.
However, this was impossible. Although the dark stepping stones were almost rged with the dark void, it was indeed difficult to distinguish them.
However, the faint light on the cliff in front of him had already outlined the shape of the stepping stones.
Even when he had walked to the center of the Abyss and could hardly see any light, ng Chao had not stepped on the wrong stepping stone.
How could he have made such a low-level mistake?
Then, sothing that the ice storm could not believe happened.
ng Chao had clearly stepped into the void.
He was about to fall into an abyss that did not exist. According to his own words, his brain was controlled by an illusion, his flesh and blood were controlled by his brain, and his bones were forcefully crushed.
But he stood firmly on the void without a stepping stone!
