As the sacred female voice slowly faded, Dongfang Jing immediately felt a sudden tremor in his soul power. A surge of pure energy appeared out of thin air and merged into his soul power, causing his soul power, which was already close to its bottleneck, to rise another notch.
After the first test, the divinely bestowed soul ring, which was 100,000 years old, directly boosted his soul power to level 75.5.
During the six months he lived in the Killing City, although he spent most of his time killing, he did not slack off in his cultivation.
Now, his soul power level has been raised to level 78.5!
To be honest, Dongfang Jing couldn't help but feel a little disappointed about this reward.
"Only level one... Compared to the reward for the first exam, this is quite a drop in the bar."
He recalled the evaluation given by the divine examination—"qualified".
The evaluation for the first test was "perfect".
It seems that the generosity of the divine test rewards is directly related to the final evaluation.
"The rewards will be more generous if certain hidden conditions are met during the assessment," Dongfang Jing thought to himself.
However, he quickly came to terms with it.
Being able to quickly increase one level of soul power at the Soul Saint stage is an incredible opportunity that countless soul masters dream of.
One should not be too greedy; cherish every moment.
He composed himself and focused his attention on the content of the third test.
"Cleansing the World, Observing the World... Entering the Hall of Ten Thousand Mirrors?"
With a thought, Dongfang Jing entered the Hall of Ten Thousand Mirrors.
He already knew that the Hall of a Thousand Mirrors' power was a true reflection of his own inner desires.
After breaking through level 70 and becoming a Soul Saint, he felt that a small room had appeared in the Hall of Ten Thousand Mirrors.
He tried to explore it, but found that the room was shrouded by an invisible force and he could not enter.
At the time, he thought it was because his soul power was insufficient.
Now it seems that the newly appeared place should be the testing ground for the third test.
"I never expected that the third test would be set here."
"But... what does it mean to observe the fate of all living beings?"
Dongfang Jing was somewhat puzzled, but he didn't think much of it; since he was already there, he might as well make the best of it.
He walked through the familiar Mirror Corridor and arrived at the location of the third test.
Here, a door that stands out from the surrounding mirrored walls, radiating a soft golden light, has quietly opened.
Dongfang Jing went inside.
The room behind the door is somewhat different from the rest of the Hall of Mirrors.
Although the space was still made up of smooth mirrors on all sides, reflecting his countless figures, the whole space seemed somewhat dim.
Only in the very center of the room, a warm, golden beam of light, seemingly from nowhere, descended vertically from an infinite height, forming a bright halo on the ground.
Dongfang Jing looked up and squinted, but could not see the end of the beam of light.
He walked into the beam of light, took out a soft cushion from his storage soul tool, and sat down cross-legged.
The moment he sat down, that cool female voice rang out again in the empty room.
Are you ready to begin the third trial of the Blazing Sun God?
"Yes," Dongfang Jing answered without hesitation.
The next moment, the world spun around!
An irresistible and powerful force instantly seized his consciousness, and everything went black before his eyes, and he completely lost consciousness.
at the same time,
On the surface of his unconscious body, the warm golden beam of light seemed to come alive and began to exert its effect.
Wisps of smoke, a mixture of blood and black, were slowly being drawn out from every pore of Dongfang Jing's body.
These were the murderous aura and killing intent he had accumulated in the Killing City over the past six months.
However, the moment these strangely colored wisps of smoke came into contact with the golden beam of light, they were like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun, instantly melting and disappearing without making a sound, completely purified.
...
I don't know how much time passed.
When Dongfang Jing regained consciousness, the scene before him had completely changed.
Before me was a wooden house, neither too big nor too small, yet filled with a warm and cozy atmosphere.
The fence in front of the house was covered with blooming morning glories.
Although it was a memory from several years ago, he still remembers it with incredible clarity.
This is his adoptive parents' home in Rinfeng City.
It was the first time in his two lifetimes that he had felt the warmth of "home".
Dongfang Jing subconsciously looked down at his current state.
He discovered that he had become a translucent, intangible phantom, unable to touch anything.
"Dad! Mom! I'm home!"
A sweet and lovely voice suddenly rang out from behind.
This voice was all too familiar to Dongfang Jing.
This is... Yao'er's voice when she was three years old!
A thought struck him, and he instinctively turned around, preparing to open his arms as usual to receive the "little cannonball" rushing towards him.
However, the hug he had envisioned did not come.
The three-year-old Dongfang Yao, with two pigtails and wearing a pink dress, looking like a little elf, had already passed through his illusory body like a gust of wind and run into the house, completely unaware of his presence.
Dongfang Jing's outstretched arm froze in mid-air.
He then remembered the content of the third test—[Observing the Fate of Living Beings].
"So that's how it is..."
"Does this mean I should observe Yao'er's experiences as an outsider?"
He thought to himself, and followed in Xiao Yao'er's footsteps, also passing through the wall.
He wanted to see what he looked like as a child in this world constructed by the "God's Test".
However, what he saw when he entered the house was beyond his comprehension.
In this family, there is a gentle adoptive mother, a kind-hearted adoptive father, and a lively and lovely Yao'er.
Everything was exactly as he remembered.
Apart from...
Dongfang Jing was not in this house.
The room where he used to live was now filled with clutter and used as a storage room.
In the conversations and perspectives between the adoptive parents and Yao'er, the person "Dongfang Jing" is as if he has never existed in this world!
Dongfang Jing quickly realized what was happening.
His initial idea of watching a nostalgic old movie vanished instantly.
He found out.
This world is the original Douluo Continent, without the "Eastern Mirror" who traveled from there!
What he wants to see is perhaps the real lives of the ordinary people, apart from the main characters, that were never mentioned in the original work.
However, Dongfang Jing did not want to continue watching.
His face gradually darkened.
Because he had long considered what would happen if he weren't there.
What kind of situation will Yao'er face in this timeline?
