PDLP Chapter 83 3000 to Kill You! A Hellish Trial!
Chapter 83 3000 to Kill You! A Hellish Trial!
The moment Chen You pressed the confirm button, the "White Jade Palace" floating in the chaos seemed to be infused with a soul.
boom--!
A deafening roar originating from the depths of one's soul caused the entire immortal city to suddenly burst forth with billions of rays of light!
The void of chaos was completely dispelled, replaced by a rapidly expanding real world.
The mountains and land beneath our feet are no longer a stream of data, but solid, heavy soil and rocks.
The warm, white jade luster on the city wall became subdued, and the vermilion glazed tiles, under the invisible light source, reflected a heavy, weighty texture.
Inside the city, the bluestone slabs of the martial arts arena are clearly visible, and even the chimneys of the weapon-refining workshop have begun to emit wisps of blue smoke. In the plantation, tender green grass sprouts are breaking through the soil.
Everything came back to life.
Chen You's figure slowly descended from the void, his feet landing on the white jade paving stone in the very center of the city square.
He could feel the wind, carrying the unique fragrance of grass and trees from the Qinling Mountains, brushing against his cheeks.
He could even hear the roar of the water rushing past in the distance.
The game and reality finally overlap at this moment!
……
In the real world, in the Qinling Mountains, at the Second Command Camp.
"Report! The energy reading at the 'Tianyuan' coordinates... has exceeded the limit!"
"All sensor signals are interrupted. Switch to backup line!"
"Optical observation system normal! UAV-03, transmitting live footage!"
The piercing alarm and urgent reports shattered the deathly silence inside the tent.
Li Guoan clenched his fists, staring intently at the center of the large spliced screen.
In the footage, the cleared valley basin is undergoing a miraculous transformation.
The air distorted violently like ripples on water, and streaks of pale golden light appeared out of thin air.
The network of buildings crisscrosses the valleys, rapidly outlining their silhouettes.
At first, it was just a blurry, enormous phantom, like a mirage.
But as time went on, the phantom became more and more solid.
Majestic city walls, layered eaves, towering pavilions...
A city of immortals, which should only exist in myths and legends, was born little by little from nothingness in this ancient Qinling Mountains under the afterglow of the setting sun.
It grew and spread like a dream, eventually forming a magnificent, celestial city phantom!
It blends perfectly with the surrounding mountains, rivers, and forests, as if it has stood there since the beginning of time.
"Oh my god..."
Academician Liu Sicheng took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes vigorously with the back of his hand. Tears glistened in his cloudy eyes.
"Exactly the same... exactly the same as our 3D model!"
Zhang Bai, the chief engineer and an aerospace engineering expert, was also muttering to himself with his mouth agape.
"This defies all the laws of physics...it's a miracle..."
Professor Wang Qiuci of the Central Academy of Fine Arts was so excited that she trembled all over. She pointed at the screen, her voice trembling with emotion.
"This light and shadow, this atmosphere... this is the celestial city we Chinese have always imagined! Baiyujing! This is the Baiyujing in heaven!"
Everyone in the command tent, from top experts to ordinary staff officers, stood up and stared blankly at the miracle on the screen.
That was the culmination of their wisdom, the embodiment of their dreams.
A city designed by mortals, yet descended to earth in a miraculous manner from another dimension.
Li Guoan's lips also curled up slightly, a rare occurrence.
He took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and picked up the walkie-talkie again.
"The image is zoomed in on the 'Tengen' position."
In the center of the screen, on the central square of the illusory immortal city, a figure also appeared.
It was Chen You.
"It's really synchronized..."
The camera zoomed in, clearly revealing his facial expressions to everyone.
However, everyone's smiles froze on their faces as the image became clearer.
None of the excitement, joy, or pride I had anticipated were present.
On the screen, Chen You's brows were furrowed.
A deep sense of confusion flashed across that young face.
Immediately afterwards, the confusion was quickly replaced by a deeper emotion.
It was surprise, disbelief, and even more so... a sense of dread as if facing a formidable enemy!
What is he afraid of?
……
Origin Realm.
Chen You really wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.
The instant the "White Jade Palace" projection was completed, a blood-red announcement covering the entire Origin Realm exploded before his eyes!
[World Announcement: A forgotten land of the chosen ones has welcomed a new master! A civilization from a distant world has planted its first seed here!]
The Land of the Chosen has been activated; a new order is about to be established!
[Civilization Relevance: 3000!]
The announcement caused a three-second silence throughout the entire Origin Realm.
Three seconds later, it boiled completely!
In Titan City, Thalos, who was tearing apart a purgatory dragon with his bare hands in the arena, paused.
He casually tossed the enormous dragon head onto the ground, splashing up a cloud of lava.
He frowned and looked at the still-visible blood-red characters in the sky.
"Civilizational affinity...three thousand?"
When he founded the City of Titans, this number was 620, already the highest record in history.
Three thousand? What does that even mean?
The City of Eternal Night, the headquarters of the Moon Goddess's Radiance Guild.
Moon Arrow looked at the announcement quietly, her pretty face showing no expression whatsoever.
In the floating sanctuary, the Oracle Oro interrupted his prayers, gently tapping the crystal ball in front of him, within which countless streams of data flashed.
"Relevance... three thousand... Has this touched some taboo, or... ushered in an era that should never have been opened?"
Countless adventurers were in an uproar in their respective cities.
"Three thousand! I didn't read that wrong, did I? When [Moon Goddess's Radiance] was first built, it only had a little over five hundred points, right?"
"What civilization is this? They're cheating! Is there a bug in the system?"
"No, it's so high, can they really hold it?"
Chen You was completely unaware of the commotion outside.
At the same time the world announcement sounded, a row of system prompts that only he could see clearly appeared in his field of vision.
[Ding! Territory projection complete!]
[We are currently conducting a comprehensive evaluation based on your design proposal, cultural background, and level of interactivity...]
[Assessment complete!]
[Basic Civilization Relevance: 650]
[Special Item Bonus: Your socketed 'Broken Worldstone' contains a trace of ancient world essence, granting a huge bonus!]
[Final Civilization Connection: 3000!]
Chen You's heart sank.
Three thousand correlations...
It doesn't feel like... something good.
So that broken rock was the hole here?
Just as he was filled with surprise and doubt.
A brand new interface pops up.
[Trial of Civilization: Rebirth]
[Trial Description: The birth of every new civilization will attract the attention and trials of the old order.]
The intensity of the trial will be solely determined by your 'Civilization Affinity'.
[Current Civilization Relevance: 3000]
Chen You's gaze was fixed on the next line of text, and his pupils suddenly contracted!
[Trial Difficulty: Purgatory]
[Difficulty Details: The size, strength, types, and intelligence level of the monster army will be directly proportional to your civilization's affinity.]
[Expected wave number: ???]
[Final Boss: ???]
[System notification: When the civilization affinity reaches 500, the trial difficulty is 'Hard'. When the civilization affinity reaches 1000, the trial difficulty is 'Nightmare'.]
Your civilization seems to have... attracted the attention of beings far beyond its capabilities. Please prepare thoroughly.
boom!
Chen You's mind went blank with a buzz.
Hellfire level?!
He subconsciously looked up, his gaze falling on the drone camera pointing directly at him from the sky.
