#472 - Chapter 461: The Ruler of the Abyss
After a long while.
After careful consideration, Jiang Han stepped onto the altar and took the golden key.
【Key of the Cage】
【Rank: Unknown】
【Description: The only key that can open the cage, congratulations, you have stood out.】
"The second one."
Jiang Han carefully examined the Key of the Cage. He had obtained a similar key when he cleared the level 50 trial.
But unfortunately, he didn't find the corresponding cage mentioned in the key's description.
In terms of benefits, it was no different from a stone on the roadside.
As for this second key, it was even more impressive; he didn't even know where to use it.
Bang!
Just as Jiang Han was carefully examining the Key of the Cage, the altar suddenly exploded, turning into dust without any warning.
The opening in the sky was also rapidly healing.
Soon, everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
Buzz!
Fortunately, a deep blue portal appeared not far in front of Jiang Han.
"Cleared it?"
Looking at the blue light flowing slowly in the portal, Jiang Han was stunned.
He never imagined that after all this, the portal symbolizing the completion of the trial would appear just like that.
No BOSS to fight, no monsters to kill, and he cleared it?
What was the point of all that earlier stuff? Was it just to scare someone?
"Is it a little too easy?"
Jiang Han became even more confused. Clearing the trial without doing anything; anyone could do that.
So, what was the point of this Abyss Trial?
As long as you were brave enough to accept this trial, it seemed you could pass?
"There should be some hidden conditions. Maybe it's because I cleared all the previous Abyss Trials?"
"Or perhaps there are other reasons?"
Jiang Han speculated secretly.
However, with only the available information, even if he were smarter, he couldn't analyze the truth.
"Forget it, let's get out of here first."
After carefully surveying the surroundings again to ensure nothing was missed, Jiang Han put away the Key of the Cage and stepped into the portal.
Buzz!
And the moment his figure disappeared from the trial grounds, the sky, which had already returned to calm, suddenly cracked open with a long gash.
In this abyss-like darkness, an incredibly huge eyeball emerged. Inside the eyeball, something seemed to be rushing left and right, as if trying to break it open.
Finally, the eyeball froze in the middle, its gaze fixed on the deep blue portal.
One second, two seconds...
Bang! Bang! Bang!
This time, the eyeball appeared for an even shorter time, disappearing after only three seconds.
Because what was shattering was not just the eyeball.
But the entire trial ground was collapsing. Space shattered like a mirror, and the earth turned into dust.
This space, which no one had ever set foot in before today, completely dissipated as if it had finally fulfilled its mission.
Silently, without anyone knowing.
...
【Ding! World Announcement: Great Xia Kingdom player 'Ye Han' has successfully cleared the level 100 Abyss Trial, obtained the Heaven-Extinction Grade item 'Legendary Stone', gained 10,000 Prestige, obtained the God-Tier Title 'Overlord of the Abyss', daily game time increased to 24 hours, Great Xia Kingdom War Zone Points +5, game time for all Great Xia Kingdom players increased by one hour.】
【Ding! World Announcement: Great Xia Kingdom...】
【Ding! World...】
The crisp system notification sounded in the ears of all players.
As a result, the already lively forum immediately became沸腾.
"Holy crap! These rewards! A Heaven-Extinction Grade item! Heaven-Extinction Grade!"
"Awesome! Ye Shen is going to defy the heavens! He got another Heaven-Extinction Grade item! My god, how much is that worth!"
"Money? How vulgar. Can the value of this thing be measured by money? I'm afraid even if you added up all the gold coins in the world, no one would sell it."
"Of course I know, I was just saying. And there's also a God-Tier Title. All I can say is, Ye Shen is Ye Shen. If he just casually leaked a little bit, I could make it into the top of the rankings!"
"Who says otherwise? It's just a pity that no one can keep up with his pace."
"It's lonely at the top. Ye Shen has been lonely for too long. This is the trouble of being invincible."
"None of these are the key. The key is that Ye Shen doesn't even have to log off anymore. That's the most awesome thing, okay? Freely switching between two worlds, tsk tsk."
"That's right. We also get an extra hour of game time. Awesome!"
"I bet the foreigners' mouths are twisted with envy this time. This is what it's like to follow a big shot. You get nine meals a day just by hanging around."
The forum exploded, and inside Great Xia Kingdom, everyone was beaming with joy.
An hour of game time. How much of an advantage would that bring them? Anyone with a brain could figure it out.
As for outside Great Xia Kingdom...
A deathly silence.
The foreign players looked at the jubilant Great Xia Kingdom players and were numb.
Originally, the top of the rankings were almost entirely occupied by Great Xia Kingdom. Now, if a foreign top player can enter the top two hundred, they have to set off firecrackers to celebrate, a shining existence powered by the strength of the whole country.
Now that this has happened, it's estimated that it will be difficult to even enter the top five hundred in the future!
And as time passes, this gap will only get bigger and bigger.
Just thinking about it makes people despair.
Now, as soon as the top players from various countries close their eyes, they see a screen full of Great Xia Kingdom IDs at the top of the rankings.
And all of this is only because of one player.
No...
To be precise, it's because of the only God.
"Axi! Why does Ye Han clearly a citizen of our Universe Country, but he insists on contributing to the hateful Great Xia? It's really disappointing!"
"Sigh!"
The ones who were pounding their chests and stamping their feet the most were undoubtedly the players from the Korean country.
However, to this day, no Korean country player dares to publicly express such remarks on the forum anymore. They only dare to say it in private.
After all, if the Great Xia Kingdom players heard about this, they would really come over and start a real-life fight.
And with the current strength of the Great Xia Kingdom players...
The consequences are obvious. They'd be eating so much funeral feast they'd be stuffed.
...
"Heaven-Extinction Grade?"
"The rewards are indeed rich enough."
Jiang Han had long been accustomed to the discussions outside, and his attention was entirely on the rewards.
Heaven-Extinction Grade items were precious even to him. What's more, there was also a God-Tier Title.
Combined with the high attributes of Divine Power, this wave was a huge boost.
"Your Excellency Ye Han, the three elders request your presence."
An Enforcement Elder in a black robe stepped forward and said respectfully, "The rewards for this clearance are not something we can decide."
"Understood."
Jiang Han nodded and, amidst a crowd of awed gazes, turned and walked towards the stone chamber.
