Divine God Against The Heavens

"Since the Primordial Race ruled over the entire Heavens, it must be extremely powerful. How exactly was it destroyed?"

Ye Xiao could not help but ask curiously.

Not only Ye Xiao, but this question could also appear in anyone's mind, after all, the Primordial Race was a race that ruled for an entire era. Even the era's name itself went after this race. Then who or what was powerful enough to destroy this race?

The more Ye Xiao seemed to be closer to the truth of the Universe of Heavenly Pearl and the Nine Ancestral Dragons, the more questions appeared in front of him. And there was no way to receive the answers to such questions anytime soon.

His instinct told him that the Primordial Race must be related to the Universe of Heavenly Pearl in some ways. Or, even the destruction of the entire Primordial Race might be related to the Universe of Heavenly Pearl.

Pygon looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Everything will be revealed with time. If you can pass at least three trials, you'll come closer to the truth about the destruction of the Primordial Race. And if could pass all the trials, you'll get the opportunity to transform into a person from the Primordial Race. At that time, you'll naturally inherit every ability as well as some important pieces of memories."

Ye Xiao nodded and asked again, "One last question! If I were to transform into a person from the Primordial Race, does that mean I'll no longer be a human?"

"No!" Pygon shook his head and said, "You'll still be human, but at the same time, you'll not."

"Actually, it'll be in your control when to transform into a Primordial Being and when to become a human. The same as you are now. I can sense dragon blood in your body, it means you must be the descendent of a dragon. But... one of your parents must be a human, causing you to become a half-blooded dragon. It must be under your control when to transform into a dragon and when not to!"

Ye Xiao nodded his head in understanding. He finally understood that becoming a Primordial Being must be the same as becoming one with the ancestral dragon. At that time, he'll be a human, Ancestral Dragons, as well as a Primordial Being, a person from the Primordial Race.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Xiao said, "Now I'm ready to take the trails!"

Pygon nodded and replied, "The First Stage of the First Trial will commence now."

Instantly, all the inscriptions on the huge bronze gate lit up, and then, with a creaking sound, the bronze gate slowly opened.

The other side of the bronze gate could not be seen. A bright white light was shining out of the bronze gate, making it impossible to see what was at the other side.

Pygon said, "Remember, there could be only two results of the trial, either you pass the trial or die a graveless death. You'll have to pass all three stages of the first trial to return here again. After entering past this gate, the First Stage of the First Trial will begin. You have to solve some riddles which is the easiest test of all the trials!"

Ye Xiao nodded his head and without thinking too much, he stepped past the bronze door. Ye Xiao felt space around him fluctuating as his eyes blurred. When everything in front of his eyes became clear again, Ye Xiao found himself standing in a vast white space. There was nothing in this white space other than Ye Xiao himself.

Ye Xiao was still looking around when suddenly, a stream of air blew past him and in the next moment, a figure in white manifested in front of Ye Xiao. It was impossible to see this figure's face because its entire body was shining brightly with light as if nothing in this world was more divine than this figure.

"Welcome to the First Trial. The First Trial is divided into three stages. The first stage of the Trial will begin now. You have to solve three riddles."

The white figure said Ye Xiao without asking anything. It was as if this white figure had no soul or intelligence, and was here just to take the trials.

The white figure continued to say, "Since you are here Trial-taker, you must be familiar with the hidden dangers."

"Now, I'll tell you the rules. You will be asked three riddles and will be given three minutes of time to solve each riddle. But it is not without any danger. With each passing second, your body except for the bones will continue to corrode. All your fleshes and other parts of your body except for the bones will completely corrode if you'll be unable to answer all three riddles in nine minutes' time. At this time, even your soul will corrode and you'll die instantly!"

"If you'll be able to successfully pass the First Stage of the First Trial, you'll be given half an hour of time to rest. In this period of time, your body will be healed completely."

"Now, if you are ready, shall we begin the trial?"

Ye Xiao took a deep breath. Only now did he understand why there were so many skeletons outside the bronze gate!

Those people must have failed to solve the riddle, causing their fleshes to corrode completely, leaving them with only their skeletons. With only bones, it is impossible for even Immortals to stay alive, not to mention, after nine minutes, the soul will also corrode.

The kind of torture and suffering the people will go through this trial was really frightening. Just thinking about this was enough to terrorize people, not to mention experiencing such pain and suffering by himself.

But... Ye Xiao wanted to take the trials. After passing all the trials, not only does Ye Xiao could get an opportunity to become a Primordial Being, he'll also receive answers to many unanswered questions.

Being asked, Ye Xiao nodded his head and replied, "I'm ready to take the trials. Please begin!"

But very soon, Ye Xiao was shocked. It is because, at some point, he had already arrived at some unknown location. Right now, he was standing beside a beautiful lake. There was an old man who was fishing with a fishing rod.

As if sensing Ye Xiao's arrival, the old man turned to take a look, and at the same time, he took a deep breath. Then he put aside the fishing hook and asked, "Young man, what is your name?"

"Ye Xiao!" Ye Xiao subconsciously answered. At the same time, he muttered in his heart, 'Is the trial already started? Where is the riddle? And... Why am not feeling my body corroding?'

"Ye Xiao! So, you are the person chosen by the Second Universe!" The old man muttered in low voice.

Ye Xiao was not surprised at all. It was not because Ye Xiao has expected this, it was because Ye Xiao did not listen to what the old man just said.

Right now, Ye Xiao was fully focused on looking at the old man. This old man's skin was extremely smooth and fair, just like a beautiful woman's. Although the old man was old, not a single trace of wrinkles could be seen on his body.

The most eye-catching, there was a mark of a folded pair of white wings on his forehead, that at the same time, looked like a majestic crown of a King!

What was more, Ye Xiao could not even feel the old man's existence. It was as if the old man was not from the same space and time. Ye Xiao felt although he was standing in front of the old man and was looking at him directly, he was not there at all. It was as if Ye Xiao was looking at the old man from very far away, from different times and space!

The old man revealed a gentle smile when he saw many complicated expressions on Ye Xiao's face. He said, "There is no need to be surprised. I'm already dead. To be more exact, I will die in near future but in your time, I'm already dead!"

"What does that mean?" Ye Xiao's confusion increased even more when he heard this. He could not understand at all what the old man was saying.

The old man replied, "It means, I and you are talking with each other from an entirely different timeline. In your time, I'm already dead for eons."

"What?" Ye Xiao still could not understand. He frowned, tried deeply to understand the meaning behind the old man's words. But when he understood a little what the old man was telling, Ye Xiao felt as if his understanding of the world has shattered.

How could a dead man, surpassing eons of time, defying all laws, directly talk with him as if he was standing in front of him. The most shocking, this old man seemed to be talking with him from the Primordial Era!
