Three-Decider Finals (4)
"So... you mean... obey proclamations but not orders?" Huo Yuhao gasped, then his eyes lit up. "Is that what you mean?"
"That's one way to understand it."
"It is the Deity ' prerogative to assign tasks."
"But whether or not I do the task is my right."
"Of course, if the Deity really want you to take the blame, they have ways to do it."
Let me give you an example.
"The Divine Trial is to temper your body."
You can refuse.
"Although the Deity won't change the mission details just because you refuse, you can deliberately avoid tempering your body to annoy the Deity."
"But the Deity can do it another way: gradually increase the pressure on you. Today they double the pressure, tomorrow they triple it, the day after tomorrow they triple it, and so on. There will always be a day when you can't take it anymore, because the human body has its limits. For example, my current load-bearing capacity is more than 3,700 times. That is to say, my internal organs can withstand more than 3,700 times their original weight without breaking, and my bones can withstand more than 3,700 times their original weight without breaking... In short, to get back to the point, under this gradually increasing pressure, if you don't adapt, you can only die... So this is forcing you to adapt. Even if you don't cooperate and have the determination to die, your body's innate adaptability will make you instinctively want to survive... In other words, it's okay if you want to die, your body will adapt."
"Anyway, to be precise... it all comes down to who uses whom!"
"You have your Zhang Liang plans, and I have my ways to overcome them."
"But the reason I say that this is a valid interpretation is because in this game, the God Trial Taker and the Deity are only competing in terms of pure intelligence."
"It's not about strength."
"There is no possibility of a deus ex machina."
"And rest assured, even the Deity have their limits when issuing missions."
"They have no right to issue excessive tasks."
"For example, the ninth test: eating."
"For example, the eighth test: sleeping."
"For example, the seventh test: walking."
"You don't need to worry about this unknown Deity forcing you to be my enemy... If he dares to issue some difficult tasks, I'll help you solve them. For example, if he orders you to kill Ye Qingcang, that's easy. I'll just find a death row inmate, change his name to Ye Qingcang, and then you kill him. That's a way of exploiting loopholes, and you can also take advantage of this Deity... As for what to do if he reneges on his promise, that means he doesn't want to play anymore, Asura God will step in to settle things."
"So, you can rest assured."
"What is meant to be will be, and what is meant to be will be."
Ye Qingcang waved his hand, not caring at all. With just a few casual words, he tore down the dignity of the Deity, shattering Huo Yuhao's worries and breaking the illusions many people in the room had about the Deity.
Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena also chimed in appropriately.
He explained this so-called divine test.
Because in her era, there was no such thing as a divine trial. "In the end, the divine trial is just a formulaic process nowadays, and its three core elements remain unchanged: Godly Body, divine power, and divine soul... Let's start with divine power. After Soul Beast reaches 100,000 years, it will undergo Heavenly Tribulation, which happens every 100,000 years. That is, the first time is every 100,000 years, the second time is every 200,000 years, the third time is every 300,000 years, and so on, up to the ninth time every 900,000 years... Nine is the extreme, so the tenth Heavenly Tribulation corresponding to this million-year period is the rebirth. If you pass it, you become a god; if you fail, you are reduced to ashes... The nature of the Soul Beast's Tribulation Crossing..." Too forceful, therefore, humanity created another method, breaking it down into the three points mentioned above. First, one must overcome the divine power barrier. Since this was created through comprehending the Heavenly Tribulation, it involves gathering the faith of the masses, the so-called fortune, the fortune of the Human Race, to transform the Soul Power within the body into divine power of the corresponding nature. Because the body needs to bear this divine power, once the proportion of divine power reaches a certain level, the body needs to be further tempered until it can bear the divine power. Then comes the divine soul. The role of the divine soul is to allow the Deity to command one's power at will. Because it has just been upgraded..."
"To put it bluntly, it's like a weapon."
Before embarking on this path, you were like a child holding a wooden stick, thinking you were a great general—seemingly strong but actually nothing at all.
"If you want to become a true great general, you must go through three stages, which correspond to the three points Silver Dragon King mentioned."
"First, you need to forge that wooden stick in your hand into a weapon."
"Let it no longer be just a wooden stick."
"It is a long spear."
"From wooden guns to iron guns."
"Evolved from the Mystic Iron Spear to the Cold Jade Spear."
"Secondly, you need to have the physique to lift this spear."
"If you can't lift a ten-pound spear when you're eight, why not try lifting it when you're eighteen?"
"If you can't lift this ten-pound spear when you're eighteen, why not try again when you're twenty-eight?"
"Even an eight-year-old child has no strength."
"It's not even as strong as he was when he was eighteen."
"Of course."
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
"Provided that he gets enough nutrition."
"The third point is skill. Being able to wield a spear is only the first step. On the battlefield, it's never just about that. It's about the combined strength and skill. To become a great general... or perhaps more accurately, the greatest warrior in the world, you need to hone your spear skills to the point where they're second nature, or even create your own unique technique. Only then will you have a chance to reach the pinnacle. Otherwise, one counterattack from your opponent and you're done for. What's the point of fighting after that? Reaching the pinnacle will just be a dream."
That's roughly the idea.
Ye Qingcang added from the side.
Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena nodded in agreement.
Then, he explained his understanding of the path, "So even without divine trials, as long as you have enough talent, you can still forge your own path... Remember those ministers of mine back then? Apart from a few who were promoted, the rest all climbed up step by step. More than 95 out of 100 did it that way... So if you're confident, you can go against him, even insult his whole family, it's no problem. Anyway, he can't just kill you directly."
A series of coughs suddenly filled the room.
The main problem is that Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena's methods are too unconventional.
What does it mean to say that it's okay to greet the entire family of Deity?
That's a pretty explosive statement!
Of course.
The words may be rough, but the principle is sound.
"One day in the Divine Realm is equivalent to one year in the human realm."
"Let's wait a little longer."
"It will take time for the Asura God to reply to me."
"Silver Dragon King's suggestion... cough cough... Yuhao, just listen to it. We advocate resolving issues peacefully, and we should still pay attention to basic etiquette. There's no need to overreact."
Ye Qingcang glanced at the clock, then put his hand down and straightened his clothes.
This also brought the topic to a close.
Immediately, he turned to Qian Renxue beside him and gestured, "It's almost time. Shall we go on stage together or one after the other?"
