Xu Yuan was clearly a bit eager.
First, because he wanted to quickly complete the trial. After all, during the time he's away, the void won't stay idle.
Second, Xu Yuan actually kind of wanted to experience what a real-life version of Minecraft would be like. Ever since he crossed into this world, Xu Yuan had been living as HIM.
He had almost never enjoyed the game. After all, he had basically been in an invincible state not long after developing. So there was basically no game experience.
Same with fighting, he could basically take someone down in one move.
You could say there was no technique or skill involved at all.
Though having the highest combat power was indeed satisfying, sometimes it could be a little boring.
As an old Minecraft player, Xu Yuan naturally wanted to experience the real-life version of "Minecraft" in free combat mode.
Just like the real HIM had said, the tyrant HIM, Fan Village HIM, and Xu Yuan he chose were born with powerful abilities.
Although Xu Yuan initially only had one life and didn't have any abilities to rely on, at least he had a system, which basically meant he had been cheating all the way.
So Xu Yuan also wanted to try seeing if, without relying on a system, he could still obtain the kind of leadership power he had now.
This was also equivalent to Xu Yuan proving himself to himself.
Seeing that Xu Yuan seemed somewhat impatient, the real HIM closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, then said, "After the Divine Realm Tournament ends, the trial will begin."
Hearing the real HIM's answer, Xu Yuan couldn't help but be a little surprised.
'Looks like this trial's setup isn't small…'
The real HIM choosing to wait until the Divine Realm Tournament ends to begin the trial clearly meant he didn't want to miss any players.
This trial was obviously aimed at the entire game world. However, the real HIM definitely had a screening standard. It was impossible to let everyone participate.
After the real HIM finished speaking, he also explained what the Divine Realm Tournament was to the tyrant HIM and Fan Village HIM.
Although the real HIM didn't give a definite answer about when the trial would begin, everyone guessed it probably wouldn't be too long.
The three of them basically had nothing else to ask. They also tacitly said nothing, silently studying the miniature version of the virtual map, quietly waiting for the trial to arrive.
———
Everything in the dim space did not affect the game world's progress.
The Divine Realm Tournament was in full swing. This Divine Realm Tournament was clearly more exciting than the first one.
After all, the first time, many players were testing the waters, this time, with experience, they fought much more brilliantly.
Steve did not participate in this Divine Realm Tournament. Steve was not greedy; owning the War God's Blade already satisfied him.
Besides, he hadn't even figured out how to use the War God's Blade yet, getting another weapon would just be a burden. But he did let the players from his guild all participate.
As for Grayfist, there's not much to say, last time, he basically helped Steve secure the artifact. Though at the time, he had no choice.
Either Steve got the artifact, or it would have fallen into the hands of HIM's subordinate, Black Blade.
Grayfist would certainly choose to let Steve get it. After all, if Steve had it, Grayfist still had a chance to snatch it. But if the artifact ended up with HIM, Grayfist would have absolutely no chance.
Although at the time, Grayfist made a choice he could accept, after that, he couldn't sleep night after night.
Every day, he replayed the scenario in his head, regretting not killing Steve earlier.
Finally, the second Divine Realm Tournament arrived. Grayfist had fully prepared.
As for Black Blade, no need to say, he was the top contender.
Last time, Steve and Grayfist had to team up just to barely beat him. This time, he definitely wouldn't repeat the same mistake.
Besides top contenders like Grayfist and Black Blade, there were also many players with great skills.
After the Wither Storm event, players had awakened. The player faction's experts were emerging one after another.
This also made this Divine Realm Tournament extremely exciting.
Everywhere was technical duels.
The last Divine Realm Tournament lasted a little over an hour.
But this time, in just over 40 minutes, the number of players left in the tournament was already down to 11.
As Black Blade's dual axes struck the player in front of him, who had run out of tricks, this Divine Realm Tournament officially ended.
Because in this tournament, the top ten players would all receive rewards, the victory mechanism was changed.
The ten surviving players would be ranked according to the number of kills.
Black Blade secured first place with a terrifying 213 kills.
Grayfist took second place with 104 kills.
Third place was Black Blade's hand-taught disciple, named Battle Axe. He had also once been part of the zombie players, and later followed Black Blade ever since.
Like in the first Divine Realm Tournament, the top three players had the right to choose their own weapons.
After entering the reward weapon vault, Black Blade immediately picked a broken sword blade glowing with purple light, broken into several pieces.
Grayfist had always liked two-handed weapons, and this time chose a uniquely shaped, specially-made two-handed sword-axe.
Battle Axe, as his name suggested, naturally had a fondness for axes. He chose a giant long-handled axe glowing with purple light.
The remaining seven players were given weapons at random.
Although those weapons were not as good as the top three's, many still had unique appearances and strong functionality.
Such as a diamond spear, a special diamond short saber, a berserker twin-headed axe, a hook pickaxe, and so on.
As the Divine Realm Tournament ended, the entrance gradually faded away.
At this moment, however, the location of the first Divine Realm Tournament had undergone a huge transformation…
At this moment, the ground at the entrance of the first Divine Realm Tournament suddenly began to shake and change.
The blocks on the ground gradually started shrinking proportionally and began to reorganize and rearrange.
The area of the first Divine Realm Tournament was a grassland terrain, so it mainly had grass blocks, dirt, and some stone and ore blocks.
Now, as the blocks in the area changed, other terrain blocks also began to generate, such as snow blocks, sand, clay blocks, etc.
There were also other types of trees. After these blocks were generated, they too began to shrink proportionally, just like the original blocks.
Once shrunk, these blocks quickly merged together, forming various types of terrain from the main world.
These terrains were all divided by large bodies of water.
In just five minutes, the Divine Realm Tournament site presented a miniature version of the entire terrain landscape.
As long as one stood a few blocks higher or on a high point, the entire landscape could be seen at a glance.
After this miniature terrain landscape was completed, several signboards suddenly appeared around the landscape.
[Trial Grounds]
[Trial Grounds will be open to all living beings of the game world]
[Touch here to check trial eligibility]
[Upon entering the Trial Grounds, you will receive trial mission prompts]
[Clearing the Trial Grounds will yield generous rewards]
[Trial Grounds opening countdown 01:59:00]
It had to be said, the setting of the trial ground exuded a strange beauty, torn between elegance and tackiness.
The miniature terrain map looked like a real-life version of a virtual map, very high-end. But the trial ground information was displayed using signboards…
Which gave off a feeling like "riding a bicycle to a nightclub", spend when needed, save when possible…
At this moment, Entity 303, who had witnessed the creation of the entire trial ground, couldn't help but complain, "This real HIM seems to be playing a new type of art…"
Complaints aside, Entity 303 immediately began studying the trial ground.
"Trial Grounds… open to all living beings of the world?…"
"Touch here to check trial eligibility... Generous rewards…"
Entity 303 didn't need to think to know, the suddenly appeared trial ground must've been created by the real HIM.
First, the Divine Realm Tournament had just ended, the officials couldn't have arranged events this closely together. Naturally, the officials also couldn't have created such a jarring-feeling dungeon.
Second, the third HIM had just entered not long ago, and the trial ground had already appeared.
This confirmed Entity 303's earlier guess. Thinking of this, Entity 303 pondered for a moment.
'Logically speaking, my king will definitely participate in this trial…'
Thinking this, Entity 303 placed his hand on the sign that said 'Touch here to check trial eligibility' without hesitation.
