"What about the Supreme Being's inheritance?" Richard continued asking.
The Furnace Fire Spirit's appearance changed once more. This time, it became a massive spherical crystal.
"The Trial of the Supreme Being is a trial of will. Do you remember the Darkness of the Soul you encountered during your mental evolution when you were a low-level lifeform?
The Trial of the Supreme Being is its upgraded version."
"An upgraded version?" Richard was somewhat tongue-tied.
Even though he had already become a Dominator, the taste of the Darkness of the Soul still made his scalp tingle whenever he recalled it.
The Trial of the Supreme Being was actually an enhanced version of it.
The Furnace Fire Spirit's voice was exceptionally grave. "Yes. During the trial, not only will your sense of time be distorted, but you will also suffer all kinds of torment and temptation.
This is the hardest and most important of the three trials.
A Civilization Devourer's attacks are never limited to matter. The mind is also a battlefield against it."
"There's torment added too?"
Richard's expression twisted slightly. Distorted time perception combined with torment—wasn't that the same as entering hell?
What could such a brutal trial possibly bring?
"What about the Supreme Being's inheritance?"
"A Civilization Treasure: a Calculation Chip that can accelerate a Dominator's calculations."
"Accelerate a Dominator's calculations?"
Hearing that ability, Richard felt as though he had misheard.
Wasn't that ability a little too simple?
The Titan's Civilization Treasure—a mythical treasure forged from legends, dimensions, and the techniques of civilization—contained the essence of the Star-Herding Titan civilization.
The High Ones Civilization Treasure—a Calculation Chip capable of accelerating calculations.
The styles of these two things were completely different, weren't they?!
"That is indeed its ability," the Furnace Fire Spirit said calmly.
"And how much can it accelerate them?"
