Awakening the worst talent? My clone can simulate it!

The instant the mechanical voice fell into Zhou Yi's ears!

A surge of intense spatial energy erupted from the pitch-black card, amidst Zhou Yi's gaze, which had completely stiffened!

In the next moment, Zhou Yi only felt a tearing force from the space around him. Without the constraints of the secret realm's laws, this spatial force was generated so rapidly that in the blink of an eye, when he regained his senses, he had already appeared in a completely dark hall!

And through Zhou Yi's perception of the hall's space.

Zhou Yi knew that he had successfully left the Peach Blossom Spring Secret Realm!

Although being able to leave the Peach Blossom Spring Secret Realm so easily was gratifying.

But...

Number?

Player?

Panel?

Zhou Yi, who faintly sensed something, found that he couldn't quite smile.

Especially when he followed the layout of the hall and looked around, and as expected, he saw a group of men and women, also holding pitch-black cards, unconscious within the hall.

Zhou Yi was completely silent.

"What kind of bizarre development is this! What about the promised secret realm cultivation and spiritual Qi revival? What's going on now! !"

"Player? Main God Space? Or an infinite flow genre?"

Zhou Yi felt a little panicked.

Fortunately, Zhou Yi's connection with the Peach Blossom Spring Secret Realm still existed. As long as the connection with the Peach Blossom Spring Secret Realm was not interrupted, then Zhou Yi could return to the Peach Blossom Spring Secret Realm at any time through the binding.

The existence of a way out, coupled with the fact that Zhou Yi had not yet encountered any danger that could threaten his safety, slightly bolstered his courage.

At the moment, he was not in a hurry to escape this obviously strange place, but instead, he was in the mood to size up the others in the hall.

Besides Zhou Yi.

At this moment, there were a total of seven people lying in the hall, four men and three women.

The oldest was a middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing a valuable precious metal watch on his wrist, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, looking like a successful person.

The youngest was a girl who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old. Although she wore light makeup and dressed quite maturely, she could not escape Zhou Yi's discerning eyes as a Golden Core stage cultivator.

In addition, under Zhou Yi's probing with his magic eyes, there was no spiritual power or other energy in these seven people's bodies, and the density of their muscles and bones was also unremarkable. Obviously, they were just seven mortals who had not undergone any cultivation.

Just as Zhou Yi was thinking about irrelevant things in his mind.

With a painful murmur, the people who were unconscious in the hall finally began to wake up one after another.

The first to wake up was the youngest girl among them.

Different from Zhou Yi, who was actively brought here by the pitch-black card.

The girl, who was obviously 'kidnapped' by the pitch-black card without knowing it, looked very frightened.

When she saw Zhou Yi next to her, she couldn't help but ask aloud: "Who are you? Where is this? What is your purpose in bringing me here?"

"It wasn't me who brought you here." Zhou Yi quickly denied: "Like you, I was brought here inexplicably, and so were the others."

As he spoke, Zhou Yi pointed to the others lying scattered around.

"How could this be..." Zhou Yi's answer obviously made the girl feel fear.

Especially when the others also began to wake up, and chimed in, saying that they were also brought here without their knowledge, a strong sense of unease enveloped everyone's hearts.

"Have we been kidnapped by some terrorist organization? The news says that many malicious kidnapping incidents have occurred recently." The girl was almost crying: "I don't want to die, my life has just begun..."

"Don't panic. Since the other party has kidnapped us here intact, they must have a purpose. They shouldn't easily harm our lives." The successful middle-aged man stood up at this moment and said in a deep voice: "First of all, the option of seeking wealth can be ruled out because the valuables on my body are still here."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man pointed to the extremely valuable watch on his wrist.

When the others saw this, they also began to check their personal belongings, and soon someone said in surprise: "My phone is still here!"

But in the next second, his tone became desperate: "But there's no signal."

"There may be some signal-blocking device nearby." The middle-aged man frowned: "Compared to these, haven't you noticed anything strange about this hall?"

"The strangest thing is that there's no door!" Zhou Yi interjected with nonsense.

What he was thinking was, of course there's no door. They were directly transferred in through space. Did they need to leave a door in the hall for you to escape?

But the lucky ones who didn't know how they got here looked even more panicked. In addition, the hall was not very large. Seven or eight people groped around the hall, and finally, after excluding the possibility of secret doors in the hall, they suddenly felt incredible: "No door, how did we get here?"

"I think, compared to the door, you should probably pay more attention to this."

Just at this moment.

A calm voice rang out in the field.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a bespectacled man in his mid-twenties holding the pitch-black card that was the culprit, and said lightly: "I seem to have seen this thing on you too."

"You have one too? I thought I accidentally brought it with me at some point." Someone said in surprise.

"Obviously, we were brought here, and there is a close connection between us and this black card." The bespectacled man pushed his glasses and reasoned logically: "The black card says 'Deity Ascension Game'. In addition, there is my name, as well as some data that seems to be attributes in a raising game."

As he spoke, he pointed to the text on the card.

On the card, it was clearly written Yu Chengjie, Level: 0, Stamina: 1, Agility: 1, Strength: 1, Spirit: 4.

The others were also similar, with most people's attributes at 1-2 points.

As for Zhou Yi.

Perhaps it was because the power system was different, or perhaps it was because the Peach Blossom Spring Secret Realm had the protection of the secret realm, the black card was not able to record Zhou Yi's real attributes.

On Zhou Yi's black card, except for the fact that the name was indeed Zhou Yi's name, all of Zhou Yi's attributes were actually 1 point, weaker than everyone else present.

"Hehe, as expected of a newcomer whose initial spirit attribute is 4 points, you noticed the key so quickly."

Just as the people in the hall were intensely discussing the meaning represented by the card.

A sudden chuckle suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

Then, in everyone's surprised gaze.

The center of the originally empty hall suddenly cracked open like a zipper being pulled, suddenly splitting open a pitch-black spatial rift!

Before people could react.

A figure wearing a bird-beak mask, with dark black wings on its back, and an unusually large figure squeezed out of the spatial rift and slowly appeared in everyone's sight!

"Is the main event finally here?" Zhou Yi, who had been acting with the others for most of the day, was immediately invigorated upon seeing this.

Although this birdman did not convey any terrible aura, this operation of directly tearing space still made Zhou Yi feel quite terrifying!

Not to mention that he was just a small Golden Core, even if he reached the Nascent Soul or even the Spirit Transformation stage, it was impossible to tear open space so easily.

The birdman, who did not know how unfathomable he was in Zhou Yi's eyes, very satisfiedly admired the frightened gazes of the crowd.

He unabashedly opened his arms, making his already huge figure appear even more terrifying, and said loudly: "Welcome to the Deity Ascension Game! Everyone, you selected rookies. Before you ask questions, allow me to first introduce myself. You can call me the Deity Ascension Envoy, or you can call me by my game name: MR3, I am the guide responsible for guiding you through the Deity Ascension Game."

"What the hell is this Deity Ascension Game!" A burst of cursing immediately rang out from the field.

One particularly brave Chosen One stood out, angrily shouting at the obviously unfriendly Birdman: "Stop trying to act mysterious in front of me! I have no interest in participating in any damn game! I warn you to send me back immediately, do you know who I am...?"

The angry shout stopped abruptly.

Everyone watched in horror as the brave man's head suddenly relocated, and several unlucky women even let out piercing screams.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in who you are," the Birdman explained with a smile, retracting his hand, which was now stained with blood, and letting the warrior's headless corpse fall heavily to the ground: "Just a reminder, the Ascension Game is destined. Once chosen, you can't quit unless you die. Also, the Ascension Game is fair. No matter how great you are in the real world, in the Ascension Game, you only have one identity: Player!"

No one spoke.

Everyone was immersed in the shocking scene of the head relocation, and even Zhou Yi was seeing such a bloody scene for the first time.

Fortunately, unlike others' fear of the unknown, Zhou Yi instantly saw through the Birdman's strength the moment he attacked.

It was probably at the early stage of Qi Training as a body cultivator. Although his strength was weak enough to be remarkable, his ability to conceal his aura was extraordinary. Even he, a dignified Golden Core cultivator, could only see his strength level after he made a move.

Luckily, before this, Zhou Yi thought the so-called Ascension Envoy would be some kind of expert...

But how did he tear space? Zhou Yi couldn't help but feel doubtful.

"Well, it seems no one has any objections to my statement."

The Birdman, unaware that someone had already labeled him as 'weak' in their mind, was quite pleased to enjoy the terrified and ugly appearances of the 'newbies'.

This couldn't help but remind him of the day he was chosen as an Ascension newbie, the scene of his own ugly exposure and tearful breakdown under the bloody deterrence of the Ascension Envoy. Ultimately, mortals are so fragile. Fortunately, he had been reborn after participating in the Ascension Game...

He thought in his heart.

Having achieved the desired effect, the Birdman continued, "Then I'll continue. Next, I'll tell you what the Ascension Game is."

Here comes the main point.

During the Birdman's dutiful introduction, Zhou Yi finally understood why this so-called Ascension Game had such a high level of authority!

That's because the essence of this game called Ascension, in the present era of the gradual revival of mysterious forces, is that the world's will, which has given birth to a vague self-awareness, is conducting a cruel game to select and cultivate a group of gods to help it manage the world after the spiritual energy revives!

This kind of thing is not uncommon. Taking Zhou Yi's most familiar Primordial World as an example, the Saints are actually the managers selected by the Primordial Heavenly Dao.

In this way, it is not surprising that the black card can reach the Peach Garden Secret Realm. After all, the creator of the black card is the 'Heavenly Dao' of this world!

Although the Secret Realm Spirit boasted time and again that it was at the same level as the Heavenly Dao, excluding the scale and talking about quality is undoubtedly playing a rogue. A mere Secret Realm, a fragment of the world, how can it be compared with a real world? In terms of scale, the gap between the two sides is more than trillions of times.

Being able to suppress the black card within the Secret Realm is already enough for the Peach Garden Secret Realm to brag about.

However, after knowing that the mastermind behind the black card was the World's Will, Zhou Yi actually breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Because he was the master of the Secret Realm, Zhou Yi also knew a lot about the relevant knowledge of 'Heavenly Dao', that is, the World's Will, under the influence of the Secret Realm Spirit.

That is, unlike the selfish and greedy living beings who always like to nip everything in the bud and pull the plug at every turn.

Although the World's Will has a high level of power, their logic is mostly quite rigid and there are rules to follow.

As long as you don't violate their taboos, even if the world is about to be destroyed, they will at most send their thugs to stop you. If they can't beat you, they will admit it. There has never been a precedent for the Heavenly Dao to personally intervene, mainly because the Heavenly Dao is ruthless and treats all things as straw dogs.

Moreover, they not only treat all things as straw dogs, but they also don't care about their own life and death. When they are destroyed, they often think that their own calamity has arrived and there is no need to resist.

Especially for this kind of Heavenly Dao that has only given birth to a vague consciousness, it is even more prominent in fairness and justice. As long as you abide by his rules, you can toss around as you like. It is even normal to exploit loopholes and become its manager.

Just like the Saints in the Primordial World, two of the seven are Chaos Gods who smuggled over, and the Primordial Heavenly Dao didn't say anything, and even generously merged with Dao Ancestor.

So Zhou Yi breathed a sigh of relief and continued to listen to the Birdman's explanation.

The rules for the Heavenly Dao of this world to select managers are very interesting.

Because it is a world of spiritual energy revival, there were no extraordinary things before.

The Heavenly Dao of this world has no way to sit back and enjoy the fruits of its labor like the Heavenly Dao of a normal world. It can quickly find powerful enough managers without doing anything.

It must personally intervene, cast down power, and accelerate the birth of managers.

And the method is: the Ascension Game!

Through random selection, the World's Will will drop black cards every once in a while to select a group of humans with better luck as 'players' from all over the world.

These players will be placed in various surprisingly dangerous copies deliberately created by the Heavenly Dao for training. Players who successfully clear the copies can obtain a large amount of experience and props as rewards.

Of course, in order to quickly cultivate strong people who are enough to hold the field, the Ascension Game is undoubtedly much more cruel.

First of all, the selected players have no right to refuse. Not only must they train in the incredibly deadly copies, but they must also complete the copy攻略 within the specified time.

If they cannot clear the copy within the specified time, even if they are still alive, they will be directly obliterated by the Ascension Game because the copy 攻略 has timed out!

But even if they successfully clear the copy, it does not mean that they can sit back and relax.

The Ascension Game will force players to participate in a copy every once in a while according to their level.

The higher the level of the player, the longer the time interval between each forced Ascension Game.

The disadvantage is that the corresponding copy difficulty will be higher, and of course, the rewards will be more abundant.

When the level and strength of the Ascension players reach the level of gods, they can initiate the final Ascension Trial. As long as they pass, they can become real gods, and from then on, they will no longer have to be forced to participate in the Ascension Game.

But before that, rounds of Ascension Games will be staged endlessly, and will not be suspended due to any factors.

The old-fashioned screening mechanism is essentially the same as the Primordial selection of Saints. Every now and then, a mass calamity will befall you. Only by becoming a Saint can you be free from all calamities. If you don't become a Saint, you will be killed sooner or later.

However, the people of this world obviously do not know that this is a common trick of the Heavenly Dao of various worlds.

Faced with the uneasy and fearful expressions of the 'newbies', the Birdman smiled and comforted them:

"Don't be afraid, and don't panic. The more copies you clear, the more power you will gain from the Ascension Game. You will gradually desire to participate in the Ascension Game! You will even try to shorten the game interval."

"You may not know that a powerful energy is constantly reviving in the world we live in. This powerful energy will give birth to a large number of transcendents who have mastered extraordinary power, and our world is destined to become a transcendent world dominated by transcendents under the impetus of this powerful energy! And we, these Ascension players, can use the grace of the Ascension Game to seize a place in the upcoming transcendent world."

"Now you can integrate the Ascension Certificate, that is, the black card in your hand, into your body through mental summons. In this way, you can open your player panel and Ascension System in your mind in the future to view your attributes, the time of the next forced game, and receive your novice equipment and travel between the Ascension Space and the real world, so as not to expose your identity attributes and enhance the concealment of using the Ascension Game."

"Be faster, because in at most half an hour, your first Trial of Ascension will begin. I remind you, a newcomer's first Trial of Ascension is also known as the Trial of Fate, so please try to get a high enough score in this trial, because according to the score of the first trial, you will awaken the corresponding level of Ascension Talent. Ascension Talent is unique, and its strength will greatly determine how far you can go on the path of the Ascension Game..."

As if ending the Ascension Game was as simple as becoming a god?

Zhou Yi scoffed, because even if the world's spiritual energy had only just begun to recover fifteen years ago, it would take until the Year of the Monkey to reach the spiritual energy concentration sufficient to support the existence of a 'Manager'.

Just considering you guys, do you even know what a Manager is?

Manager, alias: Sage.

According to the most well-known traditional method of free-range cultivation of Managers in the primordial world, it would take hundreds of billions of years to cultivate a qualified Manager; otherwise, you're just daydreaming.

Even if this world's Heavenly Dao personally intervened and accelerated this process through the Ascension Game, it could shorten the cultivation time by thousands of times.

But even so, it would probably take hundreds of millions of years!

How many years of human history does this world have?

Ten thousand years? Or a hundred thousand years?

Even adding the history of ape-men, it probably doesn't exceed a million years.

So, saying that the Ascension Game can be stopped after becoming a god is purely drawing a big cake!

Zhou Yi, whose thoughts had inexplicably wandered off again, quickly fell into a condemnation of capitalists.

Meanwhile, the players, who didn't know how outrageous the difficulty of 'Ascension' really was, were still listening to the Envoy of Ascension's explanation.

As the Envoy of Ascension said that the black card called the Ascension Proof could be integrated into the body, the skeptical people followed the Envoy of Ascension's words and actually successfully integrated the black card into their bodies.

Everyone fell into a silence of shattered worldviews.

Zhou Yi's worldview wasn't shattered, but at this moment, he was also so shocked that he couldn't say a word.

Because he found that this world's world will was just too good at playing games.

With the fusion of the Ascension Proof, Zhou Yi felt a magical sensation similar to being bound to the Peach Garden Secret Realm.

Although it was different from Zhou Yi's master-recognition binding with the Peach Garden Secret Realm, where they would prosper or suffer together, the Ascension Proof only integrated a bit of this world's will into the player's body, thereby establishing a channel between the player and the world's will. From then on, the world's will could directly use this channel to influence the players who had integrated the Ascension Proof, granting them power, or directly depriving them of their lives.

Besides that, the players themselves did not have any authority over this world.

But even so, it was still quite incredible.

It was as if the will of this world had turned authority into a 'game'.

With the binding of the Ascension Proof and the establishment of a link with the Heavenly Dao's will, everyone could directly receive the world's will's 'power transfer' like awakening a legendary system, improving their strength against common sense! Even obtaining various creations of the Heavenly Dao out of thin air.

For example, after binding the Ascension Proof, Zhou Yi ridiculously discovered that a storage space of one zhang in length and width had been opened up in his body, and even a horizontal saber lay quietly within the space. Although it was not attached with any spiritual power, it was just an ordinary mortal object. Manufacturing this kind of thing would not consume much of the world's will's origin.

However, there was no doubt that this was a creation made out of thin air by the world's will through the Law of Creation!

What's even more ridiculous is that when Zhou Yi's divine sense swept over this horizontal saber, the will of this world thoughtfully gave out information tags:

【Item: Novice Horizontal Saber (Identified)

Level: 1

Quality: Mortal

Durability: 10

Attribute: +3 Sharpness

Equipment Requirements: None

Special Ability: None】

This is really turning reality into a game!!

Although it was somewhat unreal, if the person behind the scenes was the world's will that controlled all authority in this world, then everything was quite reasonable.

Moreover, it wasn't just Zhou Yi; all the newcomers present had their own 'novice equipment'.

It was just that the types of equipment varied, and there was everything. It wasn't necessarily a practical horizontal saber like Zhou Yi's.

For example, the businessman's novice equipment was a pair of iron finger tigers, and the little girl's novice equipment was a pistol. These were considered normal. What wasn't normal was only a wooden stick, or even a frying pan.

However, the novice equipment of the bespectacled youth named Yu Chengjie was very interesting; it was actually a cloak.

Of course, this wasn't a simple cloak; Zhou Yi could feel the spiritual power fluctuations coming from the cloak.

And the Envoy of Ascension's reaction also confirmed Zhou Yi's guess.

"You guy, you really are a chosen one, aren't you?" The birdman looked at the cloak in Yu Chengjie's hand.

A pair of bird eyes revealed an unbelievable look: "Although novice equipment theoretically has the possibility of appearing rare equipment, as far as I know, you are the only one who can really get rare equipment."

"Is that so?" Yu Chengjie indifferently draped the cloak over his body.

Yu Chengjie was unmoved: "My luck has always been pretty good."

"Luck is an extremely important hidden attribute in the Ascension Game. I look forward to your performance in the Ascension Game." The birdman's attitude became visibly enthusiastic, and his tone took a complete 180-degree turn: "After you complete the newcomer trial, you can come to the House of Disaster at 1020 Sixth Street in the Third Divine City to find me. I can recommend you to join the House of Disaster Guild and become one of us."

"Heh heh, you may not know the weight of a guild in the Ascension Game. Let me tell you this, there are only twenty-four guilds in the entire Ascension Game. Generally speaking, only experienced Ascenders are qualified to become guild members. The resources enjoyed by Ascenders with guilds and Ascenders without guilds in the Ascension Game are worlds apart, especially for newcomers."

"I'll consider it." Yu Chengjie still had that calm look.

But the birdman was not only not angry, but even more admired Yu Chengjie. In his opinion, remaining unchanged in the face of surprise was a sign of a strong person! Coupled with Yu Chengjie's natural 4 points of spirit attribute, and the explosive luck to be able to get rare equipment in novice equipment.

Without a doubt, Yu Chengjie would almost certainly be able to obtain a good score in the upcoming newcomer trial, and the higher the score, the stronger the talent he would awaken in the newcomer trial, and the more infinite his achievements and potential in the Ascension Game would be in the future.

If he could recruit a potential genius Ascender for the House of Disaster, he would definitely make a great contribution.

As for the others, the birdman seemed much more perfunctory, almost only caring about talking to Yu Chengjie.

Until the approaching of game time, the birdman finally remembered his real mission, and casually perfunctorily said to the others who couldn't get a word in, "You guys are lucky. Having a strong person lead the newcomers can greatly increase your survival rate. If you are lucky enough to survive, your score might also increase because of his performance, thereby awakening a higher-level talent."

"However, it is worth mentioning that although it is a copy, if you die in the copy, you will also die in reality. In addition, the Ascension Game sometimes has a confrontation mode, which means that another group of players will enter the same copy as your opposing camp. If you really encounter a confrontation mode, be sure not to show mercy when facing enemy players. The Ascension Game is only about you die or I live; there is no so-called coexistence option."

"Alright, that's it. I'll leave the remaining time for you to communicate. Little brother Chengjie, I'll be waiting for you at the House of Disaster."

Finally, after emphasizing it to Yu Chengjie again, the birdman waved his hand and disappeared into the spatial rift again.

And this time, Zhou Yi finally noticed how the birdman tore open the spatial rift.

'Tch, as expected, it's not his own power, but borrowing a tool?'

He clicked his tongue.

No wonder he could tear open space so easily. If it was borrowing authority, Zhou Yi could also do it in the Peach Garden Secret Realm.
