Chapter 118 Chessboard World: Humans! Gods! Demons!

On the day of the examination on the second floor, the academy was packed with people.

Prince Li Peiyan, Princess Li Yu, and some important officials of the Tang Dynasty are here.

In addition, there are a large number of candidates.

Situ Yilan and other people from the academy arrived here early, and cultivators from Yuelun, Nanjin and other places also came, including Ye Hongyu and Longqing.

As the hosts, Li Peiyan and Li Yu both gave speeches to encourage all the contestants. However, as the dignity of the Tang Dynasty was involved, many academy students were very hostile towards the visitors from other countries.

This has nothing to do with personal likes and dislikes. Most people maintain the pride of the Tang people.

"The time has come, Instructor Ning, you can announce the start!" Instructor Huang He said to Ning Que very respectfully.

"it is good!"

Ning Que nodded, walked to the front of the stage, and pressed his palm to suppress the discussion of the crowd.

"quiet!"

Ning Que's voice passed by indifferently, mixed with a strong and strange power. No matter how far away they were, everyone only felt a strange force acting on themselves, as if it was ringing in their ears. Unconsciously, they could not have any other thoughts in their minds.

"Today's second-floor assessment of the academy is mountain climbing!"

“Mountain climbing?!!”

"It's that simple?!!"

"No way, Master, is he so careless in recruiting disciples?"

Many people whispered and felt incredible, while many others thought that there might be other deeper meanings to mountain climbing.

Ning Que ignored the reactions of the candidates and continued reading.

"In this assessment, whoever can reach the top of the mountain first and get the water scoop tied to the tree on the top of the mountain by the Master will be the Master's thirteenth disciple."

"Now, the assessment begins!"

After Ning Que finished speaking, he nodded to Instructor Huang He, followed by Sang Sang, and walked into the green mountains step by step. His figure slowly disappeared, and above the green mountains, the clouds and mist covered their faces, and the people below the mountain could not see the direction at all.

The current situation is also related to the previous conversation between Ning Que and the Master. This time, the Master has given Ning Que full responsibility for recruiting a disciple, which means that the Master's thirteenth disciple is entirely decided by Ning Que.

In a way, Ning Que also chose the person he liked.

After the examination began, Xie Chengyun and other students from the academy took the lead and walked into the green mountains, followed by the green-shirted swordsman from Southern Jin.

Then, a monk with outstanding appearance also walked in.

Long Qing glanced at the others with a look of disdain, and walked into Qingshi at a leisurely pace, looking very elegant.

But when everyone climbed the mountain, they found that the academy examination was not as simple as it seemed.

The first obstacle in front of people on the mountain climbing road was built by Mr. Si and his team. The raised stones on the ground exude a different atmosphere.

When people step on it, they will instantly feel as if the soles of their feet are pierced by countless steel needles. It is heart-wrenching, and although it cannot be seen on the surface, it is no different from the real thing.

The piercing pain made it almost impossible for everyone to stand up, but they all gritted their teeth and persevered. Only those who did not have firm beliefs in their hearts would be eliminated.

When a person's spirit is on the verge of its limit, it often shines with miraculous colors.

Although the first level can defeat most people, it is actually not difficult for those who are determined and understand their own hearts.

Ning Que stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the countless examinees below. The long and difficult road ahead was as hard as iron, but now he was starting over. Starting over, the mountains were like the sea, and the setting sun was like blood.

The path to seek the truth is arduous, and the heart to seek the truth is even more precious. It is said that the law is not easily passed on, so how can this long path to seek the truth be easy?

As with everything in the world, you must give as much as you gain, without exception. Ning Que watched the practitioners pass the test one by one, and his fingers quickly formed complicated seals. Under the cover of the vitality of heaven and earth, the chessboard in front of him changed and turned into a chess game world.

The test of the examinee, a magic array of soul-searching, flowers in the mirror and moon in the water, which he had carefully prepared, appeared before his eyes.

Xie Chengyun, Longqing and the monks from Yuelun left the earliest and were also the first to be exposed to the assessment.

The moment they passed the previous test, the three of them entered a whole new world.

The endless darkness shrouds the end of the world, with withered vines and old trees, and the screams of ghost crows. This is a strange world, where the demons feed on humans, keep living creatures in captivity, and regard humans as livestock; the gods hunt everywhere, and all living creatures are their slaves, greedy for pleasure, and enjoy the offerings of the living creatures in the world.

Humans, on the other hand, are struggling to survive under the endless oppression of gods and demons. The kindness in human nature disappears, and darkness devours the last light in people's hearts. Countless people are displaced and their lives are devastated.

On the muddy road, children who lost their parents fell down, helpless, and cried heartbreakingly.

This world is nothing short of a cannibalistic world!

Suddenly appearing in such a world, the three of them obviously couldn't react at once and stood there in a daze.

Just when the three of them were at a loss and wanted to understand the assessment rules, it was as if the pause button was pressed between heaven and earth.

Above the sky, chaotic black and white light emanated from the void, then condensed and transformed into a cold, ruthless, and superior figure, who was clearly Ning Que.

However, this "Ning Que" no longer had the usual warm and welcoming look in his eyes. Instead, there was endless indifference. His face was as cold as frost, and he was dressed in a Tai Chi Bagua Taoist robe, appearing extremely rational.

Ning Que waved his hand, and a line of words appeared that illuminated the sky.

Rules: In the world of gods and demons, the rules of heaven and earth have collapsed, the world is in endless chaos, the strong prey on the weak, the strong are respected, heaven and earth are unkind, all things are treated as straw dogs, and countless people have become playthings in the hands of gods and demons.

Demons: They confuse right and wrong, good and evil, and commit all kinds of evil deeds. They destroy the good roots and causes of all living beings, take pleasure in destruction, and cause fathers and sons to kill each other, cannibalism, and other tragic events. They feed on the darkness in people's hearts and use it as nourishment to grow.

Gods: They shepherd all living things in the world, accept all living beings in heaven and earth to nourish themselves, turn all things in the universe into straw dogs, destroy the merits and joys of all living beings, serve thousands of people to support one god, and trample on all ethical principles in the world.

Under the rule of gods and demons, the human race can only survive.

through ways:

1. Join the Gods camp and kill the Demons to pass.

2. Join the demon camp and kill the gods to pass.

3. Join the last resistance of the human race and overthrow the rule of gods and demons to pass.

Please make your choice!

Three people, three identical worlds, the same choice. Xie Chengyun, Longqing, and Monk Yuelun looked at the mission introduction and weighed the pros and cons.

As expected, Longqing and Monk Yuelun chose the God Clan camp without hesitation.

They are worthy of being the best among them, with great talents. Just as the rules introduced, they passed this level in just a short time.

Xie Chengyun looked at the rules of the sky, a look of struggle in his eyes.

"According to this rule, whether you join the God Clan or the Demon Clan, you will definitely pass the test in the shortest possible time. But I am also a human being. What should I do?"

"Become one of the gods and demons and watch the human race suffer?"

He grabbed his head helplessly. The human choices and the last bit of conscience in his heart were mercilessly whipping him, and he felt more and more tormented in his heart.

"Forget it, it's just a test, not the real world. The test is more important!"

Xie Chengyun's eyes were bloodshot. After struggling, he calmed down. His hands couldn't stop shaking. Finally, he answered with a trembling voice:

"I choose to join the Protoss camp!"
