Deep Intent
Her brows furrowed slightly, a hint of unspoken doubt rising in her heart. The actions of the Appraisal Chief God were far too abnormal. He not only explained the rules of the Divine Object Abyss Gate to everyone in detail, but also revealed the existence of the temporary trial.
"Your Highness, what do you think is the deeper meaning Appraisal Chief God's actions?" Bai Luan asked in a low voice, his tone tinged with wariness. Clearly, he too had sensed something amiss in the Appraisal Chief God's behavior.
Yun Xi's gaze remained fixed on the Appraisal Chief God, a deep glint flashing in her eyes. "His 'kindness' is probably for ulterior motives."
She quickly recalled all the actions of the Appraisal Chief God in her mind. From initially spreading news about the relics of the Ancient God Race Divine Object Abyss Gate Artifacts to now actively revealing the existence of the Trial, every step he took seemed to be guiding the gods toward a specific direction.
"The Appraisal Chief God's trip... he probably appraised something, and is paving the way for more people to enter the Divine Object Abyss Gate." Yun Xi murmured, her tone tinged with coldness.
Upon hearing Bai Luan, Luan frowned slightly. "Your Highness, do you mean that the Appraisal Chief God might be using these deities to achieve some kind of goal?"
Yun Xi nodded, a thoughtful look in her eyes. "Not bad."
A possible guess quickly surfaced in her mind— the Appraisal Chief God might have already identified some key information in the Divine Object Abyss Gate, and this information would require the participation of a large number of gods to trigger.
Or rather, he needs to rely on the combined strength of everyone to break some kind of restriction or mechanism within the Divine Object Abyss Gate.
"Your Highness, should we be wary of him?" Bai Luan asked in a low voice, her tone tinged with worry.
Yun Xi nodded slightly, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes. "Of course we must be wary. However, our primary goal right now is to focus on acquiring the divine artifact. As for Appraisal Chief God... as long as he doesn't interfere with us, we don't need to actively clash with him."
Her tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable and resolute air. Bai Luan nodded, saying nothing more.
Just then, a purple light surged within the Divine Object Abyss Gate like a tide, instantly dyeing the entire starry sky a deep purple. The light seemed to contain boundless divine power, causing all the gods to feel a chill run down their spines.
Immediately afterwards, countless tiny beams of light shot out from the Divine Object Abyss Gate, accurately landing on the gods who were blocked outside, including Bai Luan, who also had no Entry Ticket and was enveloped within it.
"The trial... has begun?" Bai Luan looked somewhat bewildered, but he didn't react after the purple pillar of light enveloped him.
Yun Xi's gaze swept over the gods enveloped in the pillars of light, noticing their varied expressions. Some wore expressions of joy, as if they had seen a glimmer of hope, while others frowned, clearly uneasy about the trial's contents.
The Appraisal Chief God stood to the side, his gaze deep, a faint smile playing on his lips, as if everything was under his control.
Most importantly, the Appraisal Chief God was not shrouded in the purple pillar of light, which means he probably already had Entry Ticket.
At the same time, Yun Xi couldn't help but think of more. The Appraisal Chief God possessed an appraisal ability that was unmatched by other gods, and it could even be said to be comparable to prophecy.
He is essentially an all-knowing expert in this world. Except for information that is too secretive or above the level of a main god, he can probably know a thing or two about Appraisal Chief God.
Regarding the Purple Abyss Divine Realm... Could it be that this Appraisal Chief God appraised relevant information and sealed its power before the Purple Abyss Divine Realm was promoted to a divine realm, and secretly went to the Purple Abyss Strange Domain and entered the Spiritual Object Abyss Gate?
If that's really the case, then the scheme of this Appraisal Chief God is far too far-reaching.
Just then, Zi Yue Prefecture Lord sent Yun Xi a message: [Yun Xi, the Divine Object Abyss Gate has opened, hurry up and go in.]
Seeing this, Yun Xi turned to Bai Luan and instructed, "Bai Luan, you stay here and participate in the trial. I'll go in first."
All the entrance trials are solo trials, so Yun Xi staying here would be pointless and wouldn't be able to help Bai Luan at all.
As for what kind of purpose the Appraisal Chief God is pursuing, as long as he doesn't interfere with her, Yun Xi won't investigate too much. The most important thing right now is the divine artifacts within the Divine Object Abyss Gate.
Yun Xi still remembered that she had once bought a book about the mythical creatures in Jiaozhou Prefecture, which recorded the ranking of mythical creatures. The top one hundred were the so-called mythical creatures.
The number one ranked divine object is called "Source of Chaos," which is said to possess the power to create and destroy the world. Its whereabouts are difficult to find, and it is as mysterious and unpredictable as a legend.
The second-ranked one is the "Shuttle of Time and Space," which has the magical ability to manipulate time and space, allowing people to travel between the past and the future.
Ranked third is the "Scepter of Spiritual Energy Domination," which can manipulate external psionic energy, summon wind and rain, and is virtually omnipotent.
Ranked tenth, the "Vessel of Healing": Possesses powerful healing abilities; no matter how severe the injury, it can be quickly healed by washing with water from the pot.
Yun Xi had no idea which divine object she was destined to be with, so she could only take it one step at a time. With that in mind, she walked to the side of the Divine Object Abyss Gate, and stepped inside.
As far as the eye can see, there is a vast, seemingly endless sea of stars, and a swirling, dreamlike purple glow.
The scenery before my eyes is breathtaking, as if I were in a dreamlike universe.
The vastness of that starry sea made one feel insignificant and trivial. The twinkling stars seemed like countless mysterious eyes watching over the intruder.
Sometimes bright, sometimes dim, they weave a magnificent and colorful picture. The fluorescence sometimes gathers and sometimes disperses, changing into various wonderful shapes, sometimes like blooming flowers, sometimes like wispy smoke.
As soon as the Divine Object Abyss Gate opened, and the purple light pouring out from it enveloped Yun Xi sensed a subtle guidance. It felt like an invisible thread gently tugging at the depths of her soul.
But when she actually stepped into the Divine Object Abyss Gate, an even stronger feeling swept over her like a surging tide.
That inexplicable guidance, as if a force was gathering from all directions, was no longer the gentle pull of before, but a firm and unwavering summons.
Yun Xi felt as if she were in a huge magnetic field, with every cell in her body being affected by this force.
Could it be that this is related to her status as the successor to the Lord of the Purple Abyss Divine Realm?
Yun Xi pondered silently, and began to follow that guiding feeling.
Passing through streaks of stars and purple light, Yun Xi's pace quickened. As she ventured deeper, the guiding feeling grew stronger, as if a drumbeat was constantly beating in her mind, urging her to quicken her pace.
