Chapter 676: Chapter 408: He’s Not Even Thirty?! (6K for Monthly Pass)

The trial ground was located within the grand dome building safeguarded by the Radiant Lighthouse.

At first glance, this building only seemed as large as a regular sports stadium, but inside, it contained a world of its own. As powerhouses from various realms tentatively passed through the golden-lit grand entrance, what unfolded before their eyes was an expansive new world.

Mountains hundreds of meters high stood among the vast clouds, each of them specially shaped and maintained, not only at equal distances from each other, but also identical in height, size, shape, and the flora planted upon them.

The mountains weren’t rugged, but rather smooth and even; they resembled giant truncated cones, wider at the base than at the top, more than actual mountain peaks.

Unique white buildings stood resolutely on the stepped sides of these mountains, neatly arranged in sequence.

From the peak’s platform extended a semi-transparent staircase of light, which wound its way down to a dark platform surrounded by sixteen mountains.

In the center of the vast circular platform, a pure white sword was thrust upside down.

Fang You and the others appeared on this dark platform, looking up to towering mountains all around, while looking down revealed misty white clouds—if one’s gaze could pierce through them, they might glimpse a tranquil lake... or perhaps a sea. Beyond the mountains, the clouds continued to swirl, obstructing the view.

The world beyond the gate was a hundred times more vast than what was seen from outside.

"This is a Secret Realm! And a rather high-level one at that!"

"When the Candela Empire makes a move, it truly does so with great flair," someone remarked.

Youngsters and mortals led by various legends were so stunned upon entering that they almost crowded the entrance to a standstill.

But it wasn’t just the youngsters; many legends had never seen such a vast and magnificent Secret Realm.

Fang You’s true form did not attend, as he remained stationed within Blue Star, guarding against contingencies. However, his avatar, resembling himself, had descended here. He was also secretly observing his surroundings, contemplating whether he could draw on some of the Secret Realm construction experience.

Suddenly,

Before the upright pure white sword that stood alone, countless particles of light converged like a tide, swiftly coalescing into the tall figure of a woman dressed in a white Candela-style military uniform with a white round hat. A golden flower on her chest swayed gently with the breeze.

The statuesque woman’s gaze fell upon the strong figures from various realms; after a moment of silence, she finally spoke:

"Welcome to Trial Ground No. 404. I am the trial officer here, and you may call me ’404’ or ’Ruo.’ This trial period will last for three months, with the next trial set to begin in ten years."

"Now, do you have any questions?"

...

Questions were indeed abundant!

What’s the deal with a trial officer? Wasn’t the Candela Empire utterly destroyed, and how are there still citizens of Candela surviving in this era?

"Are you a living being of the Candela, a denizen of the Radiant?" someone boldly inquired.

Ruo, the trial officer, crossed her arms over her chest, disinterested in answering such a rudimentary question.

Fang You knew that this trial officer indeed possessed the identity of a Candela citizen. From various documents, he understood that the duty of a trial officer was to ensure the normal operation of the trial ground and to oversee the participants. They were not truly humans; they might be artificial intelligence, spirit artifacts, or some kind of artificially created incomplete life forms.

Only in this way could they endure the long passage of time and reemerge with the relics. Not just the trial grounds, but in some of the advanced Candela relics as well, one could encounter these operational spirits.

And they were truly the descendants of the Radiant. During the times of the Candela Empire, whether artificial life or not, as long as they possessed emotions and intelligence, they were, in a broad sense, people of Candela.

In a narrow sense, however, those who carried the bloodline of the Radiant might indeed be extinct.

These secrets, the four great overlords might know more about, but they clearly had no intention of disseminating such information.

However, after a moment of silence, Xi Guang, the Demigod of the Ancient Moon Dynasty, stepped forward and asked:

"Miss Ruo, what exactly happened to the Candela Empire back then? We’ve asked Mr. 233, but that gentleman was not informed."

Trial Officer Ruo fell silent once more, but this time, it was not out of impatience; it seemed she was reminiscing, filled with a deep sense of the vicissitudes of life.

"That youngster 233, it’s normal for him not to know because... I don’t know either," she admitted.

The legends: "..."

With that, the trial officer paused, her gaze sweeping over the people present, and shook her head slowly.

"I can guess that the great Empire fell after I was put to sleep. This indicates the plan failed, but... since humans are still alive, it was not a complete failure."

What did that mean?

The demigods and legends from the forces of the four great overlords also concealed a look of amazement in the depths of their eyes—it appeared that this ’Ruo,’ the trial officer, knew much more than Trial Officer No. 233.

Xi Guang the Demigod, containing his eagerness, carefully continued to inquire.

Trial Officer Ruo gave a cold snort, "With your frail appearance, if those indescribable Evil Gods were to awaken from their slumber, humanity would have been extinct long ago, with no one left to come to this trial ground."

The legends from all sides were left speechless.

They were frail? But they were legendary beings with the ability to turn the heavens and earth, their very strikes capable of demolishing cities and towns.
