Change first and then change.
Renn stepped onto the stone steps leading to the throne statue of [Black Emperor] Moises.
But as soon as he took the first step, he immediately noticed something unusual.
The system also sent a warning prompt immediately.
[warn! Abnormal gravity, abnormal magnetic field, and unknown energy fluctuations, please pay attention to the host...]
"Gravity has increased by about 1.1 times..."
Ren frowned when he heard the system prompt.
Even without prompting, his current perception could clearly detect the changes in his surroundings.
It was as if there was an invisible force pressing down on his body. However, this increase in gravity has minimal impact on his current body.
Behind her, Canosha saw Renn stop, a flash of concern flashed in her crystal eyes, and asked: "Renn, what's wrong?"
Ren frowned slightly and said, "Gravity has increased. There should be some kind of magic restriction on these stone steps."
Canossa didn't understand for a moment what the increased gravity meant, and then asked: "Shall I come up too?"
Ren thought for a while and shook his head: "No. I think this may be a test. It's best if I go up alone."
The steps are full of unknowns.
After all, being sealed in dust for tens of thousands of years may have caused some things in this tomb to undergo unpredictable changes.
But as the city lord, he is not cowardly enough to need others to take risks for him.
And obviously, if the Black Emperor really wants to kill the people who enter the tomb, then this step will not be as simple as changing gravity. With his god-level methods, he could easily create a fatal restriction and kill them in an instant.
No matter how you look at it, the sudden change in gravity on this step is not a fatal trap.
When everyone in Black Dragon City heard this, they all agreed with Ren's opinion.
Since he was the only one who could hear that voice, it was obvious that he was the only one who entered here and was qualified to step on those steps.
Canosha naturally thought of this, and she glanced at Ren, "Then be careful."
Ren nodded, "Yeah."
As he spoke, he stepped onto the second step with a determined expression.
... ... .
"Hey... the gravity has increased again, reaching 1.3 times the normal level. The 'unknown magnetic field anomaly' seems to be the pressure in the eyes..."
Ren muttered in his mind, becoming more and more sure of his guess.
Based on the content on the previous stone tablet, the system has already concluded that this "gravity stone step" is most likely a setting that tests physical strength.
The third level, the fourth level...the thirtieth level...the fifty-ninth level...
When Ren reached halfway up the steps, the gravity around him had reached about ten times the normal level.
Moreover, the increase in gravity and magnetic field increases with each step up, which seems to follow a certain pattern.
Ren looked at the calculation results obtained by the system and murmured: "To complete the ninety-nine steps, the final gravity may reach more than a hundred times..."
He didn't think much and continued walking up. Ten times the gravity is still not a big problem for him.
However, the speed is getting slower and slower.
He is a top doctor himself, so he naturally knows the impact of gravity and magnetic field changes on the body.
But when it comes to muscle strength, a hundred times gravity is not a big problem for him.
What is difficult is the endurance of the internal organs and various body organs.
If the speed is too fast and the gravity of a certain level suddenly changes abnormally, it is possible to die on the spot.
Gradually, Renn felt as if his feet were filled with lead, and he could no longer climb higher steps with his physical body alone.
Then, his fighting spirit surged, and his golden body suddenly appeared.
Sure enough, this step is not that simple.
After fifty steps, there will be a big change every stone step.
Not only gravity, but also various forces that he cannot understand in his current state. It's a bit like blood pressure, a bit like realm pressure, or other negative energy...
But the purpose is to prevent him from continuing upward.
When he reached the ninetieth step, Renn already felt that the muscles all over his body were burning. This was a symptom of muscles not being able to rest for a long time.
Even if he stopped on the steps to rest, it was like being grilled on a fire. Every second was torture.
If you could see under the skin, you must have seen that some muscles in the body could no longer bear it and began to break.
Veins had popped out on his forehead, and every step he took was a huge burden on his body.
However, when he got here, Renn raised his head and glanced at the sculpture of the Black Emperor close at hand, and became more and more determined in his thoughts.
This is a test.
... ... .
Under the steps, everyone in Black Dragon City looked at Renn who was struggling, and they all sweated for him.
They know very well how strong Renn's body is.
It can be said that if Renn can't go up, legends like them may not necessarily be able to go up.
For other people, once the muscle collapse starts, it means that they can only retreat.
Otherwise, if he continues to hold on, injuries will accumulate, and he may die suddenly on the spot.
However, Ren now has a lot of milk and a lot of fighting spirit. With the [Divine Healing Technique], although the pressure is still high, there is no fatal danger.
Finally, when blood began to seep out of the pores on Ren's body, he stepped onto the last step.
Then, the pressure instantly dissipated, making him feel as relaxed as if he was about to fly.
"Huh..."
Finally getting on the platform, Ren propped up his knees and gasped for air.
After a moment, the discomfort dissipated.
By this time, he was already at the foot of the throne.
When I was walking down the steps before, I could only vaguely see a sculpture sitting on a throne. Now that I walked in, I could clearly see the appearance of the [Black Emperor] Moises.
A man with a serious look and no anger. Even if it is just a stone sculpture, one can see a domineering look on its face that looks down upon the world.
Just as he glanced at it, the previous voice sounded in Ren's ears again.
[Congratulations on passing this little test... ]
Ren's eyes narrowed and he continued to look at the statue.
Sure enough, it was a test.
[Descendants of my clan, you may be curious, why did I set this little test? Because... only by passing it can you be qualified to access the treasure I left for you...]
When Ren heard "treasure", his eyes suddenly lit up.
There is actually a threshold for accessing this treasure
At this moment, he discovered that a treasure chest suddenly appeared at the foot of the throne in front of him.
Ren didn't hesitate, walked up and opened the treasure box, and then a golden light burst out, illuminating the entire mausoleum hall.
... ... .
Under the steps, everyone in Black Dragon City showed shocked expressions when they saw this scene.
Master Cavo sensed something and blurted out: "That pressure is...'Crystal of Divine Power'!"
The Great Witch of Mafa was also in disbelief: "If it is a crystal of divine power, the pressure is too terrifying. After all, it is the crystal of divine power left by that god, and the pressure is so amazing."
Bazel blinked: "Could it be the crystal left by the Black Emperor himself?"
Canosha's face was also full of excitement, "Even if it's not, it's definitely not any of the 'Seventy-Two Divine Generals'."
No matter what, it will be a great thing for Black Dragon City that Renn can get the approval of the Black Emperor and get the treasure.
On the other hand.
Ren looked at the contents of the treasure box with a slightly complicated expression on his face.
Inside this treasure chest is a drop of golden blood the size of a dragon fruit.
Naturally, he heard what Master Cavo and the others said, and recognized that this thing should be a "divine power crystal".
However, Renn had seen divine power crystals before, but the blood-colored amber crystal was still a bit different from the one in front of him.
"Is it the crystallization of the Black Emperor's divine power?"
This thought also came to Ren's mind.
However, before he could think about it, the mysterious voice sounded again.
[This is one of the several divine power crystals of the 'Great Black Sky Ancient Demon' found by our ancestors. Now there is only the last one left... It contains the very powerful power of the Supreme Law... ]
When Thunderbird heard this, he understood.
It turned out to be the crystallization of the divine power of the mythical demon god underground.
[Countless geniuses in our clan have tried to comprehend this magical crystal, but they have all failed...]
[As for the last one, I was lucky enough to understand it. What makes me different from others is that I have understood three basic laws at the same time...]
[Later I determined that if you want to understand the power contained in this 'Ancient Demon Crystal', you need to understand two or more Gibbon's Laws. And this may require some specific conditions to break through to the upper gods. Of course, there is no existence beyond the upper gods in this world, everything is just my conjecture...]
[You can pass the test, which means you have the 'qualification' to explore this secret.]
[...]
After hearing this, Ren finally understood what happened to the previous step assessment.
Although he doesn't know what conditions he meets, when it comes to the three laws, it is indeed possible for him to understand them before the fifth level of extraordinary, healing, power and thunder elements.
[Looking at the whole world, the extraordinary person who understands a kind of law is the Phoenix Feather Jiao... ]
[I have arranged some means for our 'Black Demon Clan', which will make it very difficult for you to reach the extraordinary level... But since you can defeat the black dragon, it means that my plan should have been successful. My descendants of the 'Black Demon Clan', when you go out and see the wider world outside, you will know...how different you are!]
[This will also be the foundation for you to gain a foothold outside the territory, and it will also be the confidence for our clan to rise again... ]
Ren listened with a look of surprise on his face.
No wonder those guys outside the territory can advance to the fifth level of Transcendence by taking potions. And these extraordinary people in the Ice Ridge Wasteland still have to experience life and death to understand what "power", "intention" and "law"...
The reason is because the Black Emperor deliberately arranged it tens of thousands of years ago
Deliberately making promotion more difficult, and then... screening out the real geniuses
Ren suddenly felt that he understood.
The extraordinary beings who can survive in harsh environments are definitely more powerful than those in the greenhouse.
They have actually verified this.
[The strength of my dark demon clan lies in my strong body. If you can climb the steps, then your healing and strength have reached my expectations. This 'Crystal of Ancient Gods' will allow you to understand the 'Power of Ancient Demons' when you advance to legend in the future. That will give you an important foundation to accumulate when you advance to high-level transcendence in the future...]
When Ren saw this "Ancient God Crystal", his eyes overflowed with joy.
Although there are many legendary masters in Black Dragon City, "divine power crystals" are scarce everywhere.
Whether we can find another one in our lifetime is a question.
And if you find it, whether it matches your own attributes is another question.
Now that a crystal of higher order than the crystals of the Seventy-Two Divine Generals has arrived, how could it not make people happy
... ... .
In addition to this crystal, at this time, there was another treasure box in front of Ren.
Opening the box, there was an ancient animal skin scroll inside.
[As for the black dragon, if you didn’t kill it, I also left a little something here. That is the secret method of training a dragon that I left behind when I killed a lower-level god's 'Dragon Knight'. If you are good at language learning, you can try to master the awkward dragon language...]
[There are no such things as martial arts and martial arts. The inheritance of the seventy-two divine guards left in the hall is already a top-notch inheritance... You will always find the right one... ]
Renn picked up the ancient animal skin scroll and took a closer look, only to find that it was also a treasure whose material and workmanship could not be understood.
It was obviously just a piece of animal skin the size of a palm, but it looked like it had a lot of information recorded on it.
It feels like seeing a "U disk". The moment you pick it up, too much information floods into your mind.
Not only text patterns, but also "audio data" and even "meaning" content.
[Ding! An unknown language was discovered and named 'Dragon Language'. The system is automatically recording... ]
"Dragon Language" is as high-level a language as "Ancient Demonic Language".
Learning it is much more difficult than ordinary writing, and requires strong language talent and cognition.
It also needs to be "understood" subjectively.
Moreover, the pronunciation of dragon language is very special, and human vocal organs cannot completely simulate those "dragon chants".
Even with the help of the system, Ren's scalp felt numb just looking at it.
It was like reading a book from heaven, and my brain was very resistant to understanding this kind of "higher animal language".
He instantly lost his enthusiasm for learning "Dragon Language", at least not now.
Ren thought of something and muttered in his heart, "I'll show this animal skin to everyone later. Mafa Wuji and Udo may be more talented..."
... ...
And just when a group of people from Black Dragon City were excavating the tomb of the Black Emperor.
Extraterritorial.
The Mapson Empire in the southern part of the "Dark Alliance" has been plunged into war.
Countless steam airships drove straight in from the east and directly captured the capital of the Mapson Empire.
On this day, in the imperial palace of the Mapson Empire, a young man in white robes sat on the throne that was originally reserved for the emperor.
He looks handsome, but seems a bit feminine.
The vertical pupils on his forehead revealed his identity. He was a member of the "Three-Eyed Clan".
At this moment, the middle-aged man who was originally the emperor of the empire was prostrate in the palace hall, begging for something.
Beside him were a group of concubines and princes.
"Lord Credo, our Mapson Empire is willing to join the Alliance of Radiance and worship the great 'Supreme God Jaliad'. But... we really don't know the place you mentioned. There is indeed a place in the western part of the empire. Connecting to the 'God's Abandoned Ruins', it is a dead land, and any creature that enters will never return..."
Before he could finish listening to the emperor's explanation, the three-eyed young man interrupted him impatiently and said coldly: "That's your problem. You have to find the place I mentioned within a month, otherwise... . ”
When he spoke, his expression was full of sneer, as if he was looking at a group of livestock that were being slaughtered.
He said that in one month, there is only one leap
And just when the Mapson royal family was at a loss
"Your Majesty, there is news about the reward list we released earlier!"
"What, tell me quickly!"
"It was the captured leader of the 'Red Shark Phantom Thieves'. He said that they had obtained a treasure map, which pointed to the depths of the ruins of the gods..."
