Virtual Universe, Tongtian Bridge Plane.
On the Central Square of the beautiful island, Guardian Bevin had a small light screen in front of him, which was broadcasting an image of someone attempting the Tongtian Bridge.
Swish!
A white light flashed, and Ender's figure appeared in the square.
"Ah, Ender." Guardian Bevin revealed a slight smile of surprise, "Coming to attempt the Tongtian Bridge?"
"Yes, Guardian Bevin, sir." Ender nodded slightly.
Guardian Bevin smiled and said, "There's no one on the Divine Tree Tongtian Bridge right now, you can go straight in."
Upon hearing this, Ender transformed into a stream of light and flew towards the Divine Tree Tongtian Bridge.
After sending an email about Ender's attempt at the Tongtian Bridge to the powerful individuals and Geniuses of the same generation who were paying attention, Guardian Bevin secretly thought, "It's been nearly sixty years since Ender last came to attempt the Tongtian Bridge. I wonder if he can pass the tenth level of the Tongtian Bridge this time, but this tenth level isn't that easy to pass."
The Tongtian Bridge has a threshold every three levels, but levels 10, 21, and 26 require a higher comprehension of Law to pass.
For example, breaking through from the ninth level to the tenth level of the Tongtian Bridge: the former represents the Pinnacle of World Master Level Law comprehension, while the latter is comparable to Immortal Rank Law comprehension!
...
Divine Tree Tongtian Bridge, end of the tenth level.
The yellow metal beneath the Tongtian Bridge vibrated slightly, simultaneously emitting a rumbling sound: "Choose your opponent: Warrior, Controller, or Illusionist. Defeat him to pass the tenth level."
"Warrior," Ender said.
Rumble...
The golden-yellow metal vibrated, and countless earthy yellow lights flew out from all over the ground, rapidly gathering in mid-air.
In an instant, they transformed into a yellow-clad man with yellow claw-like weapons and arm shields on his hands, and a mask on his face.
"After more than fifty years, you've come again."
The yellow-clad man looked at Ender and said in a low voice, "Presumably, you must have made a great Breakthrough in these past fifty-plus years."
"Of course." Ender nodded, "If I hadn't made a Breakthrough, why would I come to attempt the Tongtian Bridge?"
"Since that's the case." The yellow-clad man nodded slightly, his voice still low, "Then let me see your progress."
"As you wish."
As his voice fell, Ender's figure flickered, like a black lightning bolt turning and moving in the air, leaving behind realistic afterimages.
"Good movement technique." The yellow-clad man praised in a low voice, "But this... is not enough!"
Whoosh!
The yellow-clad man moved, a real afterimage remained in place, while his true body had flashed to Ender's front, extending a claw!
Swish!
The moment the yellow-clad man appeared, two dark claw shadows, swung forward, manifested. The Space Law power contained within them, one after another, Imprisoned the space ahead.
As if tearing through space, a slender yellow light line appeared, stretching from the yellow-clad man's original position to his lingering afterimage, directly reaching Ender's front.
The two dark claw shadows were grand in momentum, but this suddenly appearing yellow light line was like light piercing through the darkness of night.
Dazzling, and unstoppable!
"Not good!"
Facing this unstoppable attack, Ender was startled. After swinging his claws, his hands were already blocking in front of him, and the amplification secret runes on his arm shields were activated, shimmering with light.
The yellow light line disappeared, and the yellow-clad man's hand pressed onto Ender's crossed arm shields, unleashing the Law power contained within.
Boom!
Amidst a huge roar, Ender only felt his arms enduring a terrifyingly powerful attack, and then he was sent flying backward.
Whoosh!
The yellow-clad man's figure flickered, leaving a real afterimage in place, and his true body once again appeared in front of Ender, continuously striking out with his sharp claws.
Ender unleashed the attack secret art 'Extinction-Two', but he could only use it to defend against the yellow-clad man's continuous offensive. The Law power in the opponent's attacks was too strong, putting him directly at a disadvantage!
Clang, clang, clang!
Amidst a continuous series of crisp metallic collision sounds, each collision of their sharp claws produced invisible shockwaves that spread out like ripples on a lake, layer upon layer, ceaselessly.
Boom!
After struggling to defend for more than ten moves, Ender's defense was broken by the yellow-clad man. A claw, containing powerful Law power, struck him on the chest.
...
"He lost. I thought that based on Ender's previous experiences attempting the Tongtian Bridge, he should have been able to pass this time too."
"But being able to hold on for so long indicates that his Law comprehension is already close to the tenth level."
"It's normal not to pass. The Law comprehension of the tenth level of the Tongtian Bridge is comparable to an ordinary Immortal; it's not that easy to pass."
Under the light screen in the island's square, the King-level Immortal watching the live broadcast were discussing and conversing.
...
Having failed the tenth level of the Tongtian Bridge, Ender did not linger in the island's Central Square and returned directly to his manor in the Yu Xiang Mountain Primal Secret Realm.
In the study, he looked at the light screen in front of him and fell into thought. "The Law comprehension of the tenth level of the Tongtian Bridge is comparable to an ordinary Immortal; it's indeed not that easy to pass."
"After completing the Purgatory Abyss Cultivation mission, I gained 250,000 new points, which is enough to exchange for the first four volumes of 'Divine Tree True Solution'."
Thinking of this, he switched the Cultivation mission interface on the light screen to the treasure vault exchange interface.
"The first four volumes of 'Divine Tree True Solution' cost 300,000 points and cannot be discounted."
Looking at the points exchange price for the first four volumes of 'Divine Tree True Solution' on the light screen, Ender did not hesitate to choose to purchase them.
The fourth volume of 'Divine Tree True Solution' corresponds to the fifth image of the 'Divine Tree Primal Chaos Tablet', explaining all the essences of Space Origin Law.
"Completely comprehending all 108 essences of Space Origin Law will bring my Law comprehension to the twelfth level of the Tongtian Bridge." Ender thought, "Passing the twelfth level of the Tongtian Bridge is a basic condition for passing the Universe Level Primal Sky Mountain."
The Primal Sky Mountain is divided into Universe Level, Domain Master, and World Master Level, corresponding to Tongtian Bridge levels 12, 16, and 20 respectively. However, being able to pass the corresponding Tongtian Bridge levels does not necessarily mean one can pass the corresponding Primal Sky Mountain.
Because there isn't just one Guardian of the Primal Sky Mountain, but three!
The three Guardians of Primal Sky Mountain, at the foot, middle, and Pinnacle of the mountain, are Bull-headed Man, Ape-man, and Snake-men respectively. They represent the Warrior, Controller, and Illusionist factions.
Therefore, attempting Primal Sky Mountain requires facing the combined attacks of the three common Human Race factions simultaneously. This means that the challenger needs to possess super strong attack, defense, amplification, movement technique, and Soul secret arts. Only then can there be hope of passing.
"Attempting the Primal Sky Mountain is still a bit far for me. My most important task now is to pass the tenth level of the Tongtian Bridge within five hundred years, which is the test set by my teacher."
Thinking of this, the sense of urgency in Ender's heart lessened a bit. "Only two hundred years have passed, so there are still three hundred years. This is enough time for me to pass the tenth level of the Tongtian Bridge."
"Taas World." He switched the interface on the light screen to the Dangerous Level Cultivation mission. "This is the Cultivation mission world that Seventh Senior Brother said would be very helpful to me."
"Hmm, before that..." Ender's finger tapped on a Cultivation mission. "I can first accept the Titan God World Cultivation mission. This mission offers a lot of points, and the effect of the Titan God Power Fruit is actually comparable to that of a Blood Warrior."
There are three missions in the Titan God World. Upon completion, one can obtain one thousand, ten thousand, and one hundred thousand points respectively. (For more details on the Titan God World, please refer to Chapter 174.)
However, it's somewhat strange that the Titan God World, despite being a world friendly to the Human Race, is still classified as a Dangerous Level mission with a 70% mortality rate. This is a bit odd. "Before accepting the Titan God World Cultivation mission, should I go and comprehend the 'Divine Tree Primal Chaos Tablet' once?"
Ender pondered, "With Seventh Senior Brother, a Venerable who has comprehended Space Origin Law, guiding me, my confusions about Space Origin Law are not many. Any I had were also resolved when I comprehended the murals in Purgatory Abyss."
Having a Venerable's guidance versus not having one is a world of difference!
For example, Ender has only comprehended the Primal Chaos Tablet three times, and all of them were when he was in Primal Chaos City.
He didn't go to comprehend it after leaving Primal Chaos City, but the speed of his Law comprehension still progressed very quickly, approaching the tenth level of the Tongtian Bridge within a hundred years.
"Since there aren't many confusions, then I'll accept the Titan God World Cultivation mission."
Ender clicked on the light screen with his finger, "The time will be one day from now. I don't need to prepare too many things to go to the Titan God World."
One day later.
Wu Chen Continent, a spaceship arrived above the manor's lawn.
After spending a day with his family in the Virtual Universe, Ender entered the spaceship with the respectful farewells of his guards, heading to the Titan God World, which was also in the Primal Secret Realm.
...
Several hours later, Ender, aboard a spaceship arranged by the Virtual Universe Company, arrived at a palace outside the Titan God World.
"Your Highness Ender." A World Master who had been waiting for some time respectfully said, "A spaceship has already been arranged to take Your Highness to Titan God Star. Please follow me, Your Highness."
"Titan God Star isn't far from here. Can't I just take a spaceship down myself?"
Ender asked, "Why do you still need to arrange a spaceship to take me to Titan God Star?"
The World Master led the way, simultaneously replying, "This Titan God Star has a defense System. Unapproved spaceships approaching will first be warned, and if they get closer, they will be directly destroyed."
"Aren't the people of Titan God Star friendly to our Human Race?"
Ender asked again, "Why does Titan God Star still have a defense System? What are they afraid of?"
"This defense System is not only for outside the planet but also for inside the planet, to prevent the Titan God Race from leaving the planet without authorization," the World Master replied.
Ender asked in confusion, "Is this set up by our Virtual Universe Company?"
"Not our Virtual Universe Company, but a King-level Immortal born on their Titan God Star did it."
The World Master shook his head, with a somewhat strange expression, saying, "The Titan God Race, their nature... well, they are relatively 'lively'. That King-level Immortal said they needed to restrict their nature."
"Lively nature? Restrict their nature?!" Ender listened, feeling that it didn't sound like a good thing, otherwise the planet wouldn't be sealed off by its own people.
"The specific situation, Your Highness will understand once you have lived on Titan God Star for a period of time."
The World Master said, "This is the spaceship that will take Your Highness into Titan God Star."
Ender entered the spaceship, and the staff inside respectfully offered him drinks, fruits, and snacks.
...
Titan God Star, with a diameter of about 0.4 light-years, or 360 million kilometers, is a super-large celestial body.
Twenty minutes later.
Ender entered Titan God Star aboard the spaceship, which then docked in a huge square.
As soon as he disembarked, he noticed that all objects on Titan God Star were at least 100 times larger. The light cabin door of the nearby spaceship was comparable in size to the small spaceship he had arrived in.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a huge stream of light flew over. Seemingly to avoid misunderstanding, it specifically stopped several kilometers away from the spaceship.
Ender looked over and saw a giant standing several kilometers away, about fifty to sixty meters tall. From his aura, he appeared to be a World Master. He wore gray-white battle armor and, apart from his height, had little difference from most Human Race members.
"Universe Level!" The World Master giant, discovering Ender was Universe Level, became a bit more respectful and asked via telepathy, "Your Highness, may I ask which of the five Leviathans of Humanity you come from?"
"five Leviathans of Humanity?!" Ender listened and thought, "This Titan God Star truly lives up to its reputation as a planet friendly to our Human Race; they even know the informal names for the five major forces within the Human Race, such as the Virtual Universe Company."
Then, he replied, "I come from the Virtual Universe Company."
"Oh, so it's a Your Highness from our Virtual Universe Company." The World Master Level giant became even more respectful. "Your Highness has come to our Titan God Star to participate in the Brave Trial, right?"
Ender said, "That's right."
"Does Your Highness know the process of the Brave Trial?"
The World Master Level giant respectfully said, "If not, then please allow me to introduce the process of the Brave Trial to Your Highness."
Ender nodded slightly, indicating, "Go on."
"The Brave Trial is divided into two stages: selection and the main competition."
The World Master Level giant introduced, "In the selection stage, participants need to obtain six medals from dozens of dojos on Titan God Star."
"Obtaining the first of these six medals is very simple, but the difficulty skyrockets with each subsequent medal. The sixth medal will be a test conducted by a World Master Level, ensuring that the Brave who obtains all six medals possesses considerable strength and will not tarnish the reputation of the Brave Trial tournament."
"The main competition of the Brave Trial tournament is held once every hundred years. Braves who have obtained six medals within that century will gather to compete for the title of Pinnacle Brave and our Titan God Star's Arcana Treasure, the Titan God Power Fruit."
"There are still sixteen years until the next main competition of the Brave Trial tournament, Your Highness, so you have sixteen years to obtain the six medals."
"Your Highness, this is a map of our Titan God Star, with the coordinates of dozens of dojos marked on it."
As the World Master Level giant spoke, he waved his hand, and a light screen appeared in front of him, then he gestured towards Ender.
Ender lightly raised his hand, and a light screen appeared accordingly, displaying the map of Titan God Star, with the locations of dozens of dojos and the coordinates of many major cities on Titan God Star marked on it.
"Thank you." After a brief look, Ender nodded his thanks.
"Your Highness is too kind. Hmm..." The World Master Level giant hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "Your Highness, our Titan God Race are quite lively in nature, and they might offend Your Highness. If they are not too excessive, I hope Your Highness will be a little lenient."
"Oh?!"
Ender recalled what the World Master in the palace outside Titan God Star had said earlier. For his own people to seal off the planet, it seems the Titan God Race are truly 'lively'.
However, he also wanted to know just how 'lively' these Titan God Race people truly were.
