Wang Dong'er lay flat on the ground. She had never felt so relaxed before. If she failed, so be it. Once the cart reached the mountain, a road would surely appear.
As the final countdown began, the God of Light's phantom appeared before Wang Dong'er.
When the last second ticked away, the God of Light spoke. "Time is up."
The God of Light announced that time was up, but did not declare that Wang Dong'er had failed.
"Since you have grasped an entirely new way to guide the Light Element, I will give you a chance."
Wang Dong'er sat bolt upright. "I still have a chance?"
"That's right. You now have a choice. First, fail the trial, and I will send you back to the real world. I will reclaim your Great Bright God Sword, and you will no longer be able to use the three Bright God Divine Skills.
"Second, receive another year to slay three A-Class Exotic Beasts. Succeed, and you pass the trial. Fail, and you will turn into a stone statue and remain here forever."
"I choose to continue the trial."
Wang Dong'er did not hesitate at all. If she went out now, Tang San would only capture her and forcibly awaken Tang Wutong's soul.
With her current soul strength, she could not possibly contend with a god.
Rather than become Tang Wutong, she would stake her life on one last struggle.
Wang Dong'er had now mastered a new method. Given enough time, she could connect to more Light Elements with her current soul power.
That would make passing the trial no difficult task. She was confident even about killing three A-Class Exotic Beasts.
"Very well. The trial continues. The countdown begins: three hundred and thirty-five days. I hope you can give me a satisfactory result."
