Chu Hao's third trial was still underway.
Besides his own attention to the battle, there were two other observers, silently monitoring the situation with concern.
These two were Wang Zhi and Bai Chen.
Each harbored different emotions as they watched Chu Hao's Endless Abyss, this low-dimensional divine realm that instinctively sought to devour everything like a black hole.
Under their hidden gaze, the 13th Legion led by Magnus proved itself worthy of the title "blessed by angels."
Under the command of this legendary peak-tier commander, the entire legion advanced like a sharp sword, striking toward the core of the Endless Abyss.
They easily achieved what neither orc nor dragon-blooded soldiers had ever done:
They reached the fifth layer of the Endless Abyss while maintaining full formation.
During this process, aside from the Ice Demons and harsh conditions of the fourth layer causing minor mental distress,
All abyssal creatures in the previous three layers had failed to inflict significant losses on this army, powered by devout faith.
This performance elicited two completely different reactions from Wang Zhi and Bai Chen.
Wang Zhi appeared extremely anxious.
Although he believed Chu Hao's potential should handle such a powerful army without issue—after all, the Endless Abyss contained sixty-six layers, so losing only five layers was negligible—
"That army with true faith and the blessing of angels… be wary of their group divine arts, Chu Hao!" Wang Zhi's face darkened.
"That is a force capable of easily destroying dark worlds!"
In contrast, Bai Chen, the principal, showed a more playful attitude.
This time, she opened both eyes and gazed at the core of the Endless Abyss.
There, Chu Hao sat cross-legged, exerting his divine sense to the fullest, using the will of the Endless Abyss to observe everything.
"No reaction at all? Interesting."
"Are you powerless against this type of army… or do you have another plan?"
"Forget it. I'll stick to my original plan and see how a low-dimensional world reacts to the power of faith."
Bai Chen bit her lip and activated her Supreme Star Domain, beginning a precise calculation on the prototype of the Endless Abyss.
Dozens of nascent stars appeared behind her, each a projection of a real star from her divine realm.
Each star represented a complete, small plane, but at this moment, their only purpose was…
To serve as Bai Chen's "calculation components."
This was the true demonstration of her authority—a deity capable of commanding stars.
In moments, an unexpected yet logical result appeared before her.
"As expected! After Magnus' army entered the fifth layer, nearly 1.2% of the Endless Abyss' volume was consumed!"
Bai Chen's stellar eyes flickered.
"Moreover, dimensionally speaking, the Endless Abyss was forcibly elevated!"
"In other words, the faith representing order and justice can slowly pull a twisted, fallen low-dimensional world back toward mid-high dimensions?"
The next moment, she immediately shook her head, rejecting her own hypothesis.
"No, no, no!
In the Endless Abyss, every hypothesis must be cautious!
After witnessing its anomalies and corruption, I must exercise extreme caution. Damn it!
Chu Hao wouldn't fail this trial, would he?
I recall… his world doesn't seem to have creatures beyond stage 10!"
Bai Chen sat in her office, looking down at Chu Hao at the base of the Endless Abyss.
"So, Chu Hao… what exactly are you planning?
How will you deal with this…
…troublesome faith army?!"
Meanwhile, Chu Hao seemed to sense something.
At the far end of the dim, unobservable Endless Abyss, he lifted his head.
Integrated with the abyssal will, his eyes gleamed with the Endless Abyss' signature black-red vortex.
---
"Still none…"
Chu Hao raised his head, gazing at the fifth layer.
"No abyssal creature has surpassed stage ten!"
His eyes were icy.
"Not a single one of the stage-ten primal demons has broken through to stage eleven, the Legendary tier!"
"What is going on?
Is the stimulus insufficient, or…
Have these creatures, including the primal demons themselves, developed some issue?"
The chaos of the Endless Abyss had taught Chu Hao a lesson.
Even someone as powerful as him, who controlled the entirety of the Endless Abyss, could not completely tame its chaotic rules.
Like all other beings within it, Chu Hao himself needed to adapt to the twisted, chaotic environment of the abyss.
"…"
Realizing this, Chu Hao gave an involuntary bitter smile.
"Right… I had forgotten the true nature of the Endless Abyss.
Whether it's the evolution of its beings, the unique and twisted environment, or the ultimate chaotic rules… this world called the Endless Abyss cannot be fully controlled by anyone!"
"I had hoped Magnus' army would create a stressful environment for the primal demons, pushing them to evolve faster, but judging by the current situation…"
In truth, Chu Hao had never seriously considered Magnus' army.
As the master of the Endless Abyss, he naturally understood its situation best.
From start to finish, he never regarded this so-called faith army as a real threat.
This explained his previously revealed attitude of contempt.
After all, the Endless Abyss spanned sixty-six layers downward. The deeper it went, the stronger the creatures and the more complex the environment, making survival for ordinary beings nearly impossible.
By the time the army reached the tenth layer, they would face the true strongholds of the terrifying, twisted abyssal creatures.
Whether it be the mighty hundred-armed giants, the eye demons, or even the Leviathans, all could appear before the army through the twisted space rules of the abyss.
The only possible outcome for this army would be a tragic annihilation.
But Chu Hao did not interfere.
For him, each trial at Tianding University was a critical moment for the evolution of the Endless Abyss.
When the divine realm could not link and compete with others, these external stimuli became extremely important.
As Chu Hao observed the battle in the fifth layer, a new discovery brought him delight.
"!"
"Wait… that moment just now…
A stage-ten peak primal demon…
…actually absorbed faith from another world?
And my divine fire… grew in that instant!"
