"What do you mean?" Ye Xiao frowned and asked.
Pygon just congratulated him for passing the First Test of the Third Trial. However, when did the trial even start?
"The third trial started the moment you entered the home ground of Primordials. Your first test was to break the Absolute Defensive Barrier. This barrier could only be broken by those who have achieved the strength to defeat 5 Ancient Gods with a single attack. But even that kind of person could not damage the Absolute Defensive Barrier in such a way you did."
"Your strength far surpasses that of any Ancient Gods I have ever seen. Even the patriarch of the Primordial Race was not as powerful as you in his prime. It seems we have underestimated you a lot."
So it turned out that breaking the green barrier was the first task of the third trial Ye Xiao needed to pass.
It was no wonder why Pygon did not respond to him even though he had called Pygon many times.
Since breaking the barrier was the first test, it means if Ye Xiao would have failed, he would have to continue trying. He had to break the barrier in order to continue.
"So, what is my second test?" Ye Xiao no longer wasted time and directly came to the main point.
Pygon nodded, thought of something, and said: "You still remembered the purpose of elders of the Primordial Race behind creating the three trials, right?"
Ye Xiao nodded as it was a matter of fact, and started speaking: "Yes, I remember it clearly. The main purpose was the revival of the Primordial Race. I was told that as long as a person could pass all the trials and become a Primordial, the Primordial Race could be revived. This was the only way to revive the Primordial Race, and Queen was the one to give this hope of revival to the Primordial Race in their last moment!"
Pygon nodded and said: "Yes, you are right. But... Do you have any idea as to how the Primordial Race will be revived? Let's say you pass the third trial successfully and became a Primordial. But... How will the Primordial Race revive?"
"I have no idea!" Ye Xiao shook his head, saying.
"According to Queen, this is not only your trial but also ours. Because we betrayed the Heavens, we were punished by the Heavens. However, since we were the first race other than ancestral dragons to be born, Heavens still left hope for the Primordial Race. Our trial started from the moment Primordial Race was destroyed. We created the Trials of Primordial and waited for dozens of eras. In these eras, many people appeared who went through the Trial of Primordial, however, very few passed the First Trial and none passed the second. You are the only one to pass the second trial and are going through the Third Trial."
"Our wait and suffering is the trial from Heavens for us. But our trial will end as long as you could pass the third trial. And at that time, Heavens will revive the Primordial Race again."
"That's how the Primordial Race could revive and once again resurface to rule the next era."
"However, to rule the next era, Heavens has to survive the coming World Epoch first. Moreover..."
"Sigh, let's not talk about it for now."
When Ye Xiao first came in contact with the old man of the Primordial Race in the Well of Hell and heard the explanation given by the old man there, he thought he would need to revive the Primordial Race after obtaining the body of the Primordial and becoming one of the Primordial Race's person.
Only now did he understand that he was wrong. He has to do nothing. He just has to go through the trial and pass it, and this is what the Primordial Race needs from him. And it'll also give him a lot of benefits.
"What is my next test?" Ye Xiao asked.
According to his previous experiences, there should be three tests in one trial. Since he has already passed the first trial, it means there are still two tests left for him to pass, and then, he could be considered to have successfully completed the Third Trial which is also the final trial.
However, everything was not that simple.
Pygon said: "The Third trial is different from the previous two trials. You only have to go through two tests in order to pass the Third Trial. You have already completed the first test, and now, you are going to start the second test."
"For the second test, you have to stand in the middle of that platform. There is a formation covering the entire platform that'll let send you into the realm of dreams. In the Realm of Dreams, you will appear in a random place with a random identity. I can only tell you this."
"As for the content of the test and what you need to do, I can't tell you. You have to find out about this yourself."
"So, are you ready?" Pygon asked with a smile on his face.
"Realm of Dreams?" Ye Xiao was startled. As the inheritor of the memories of three Ancient Gods, he was not unaware of the Realm of Dreams.
The Realm of Dreams is a special space that exists between reality and nothingness. It is not as simple as a dream of someone.
No, the Realm of Dream really does exist. It is just that no one knows how to reach the Realm of Dreams or where it is located.
However, in the starting few eras, a few extremely powerful people have managed to reach this place and obtained many benefits. No one knows what kind of place is this Realm of Dreams and what it means to exist between reality and nothingness.
But one fact that has been passed down from the time of the appearance of the Primordial is that no one would die in the Realm of Dreams.
First of all, before entering the Realm of Dreams, a person would strangely lose consciousness. And upon waking up, they would find themselves waking up in another person's body. At that time, to obtain benefits from the Realm of Dreams, they have to play the role of the character they woke up.
And if they are killed in the Realm of Dreams, they will wake up in their original body. At the same time, they will receive a variety of rewards according to their contribution to the Realm of Dream while playing the role of that character in the Realm of Dream itself.
A few people who came back from the Realm of Dreams gathered together and after years of research, they finally managed to create a formation that could send a person directly to the Realm of Dreams.
However, after the end of a few eras, that formation was lost.
Ye Xiao didn't expect to see that formation here.
It means the Realm of Dreams is really real.
And now, he was going to give his second and final test in the Realm of Dreams.
If it is the Realm of Dreams, it is no wonder why Pygon doesn't know what he has to do!
But...
How will Pygon or others of the Primordial Race determine that he has passed the Second Test?
Maybe, Pygon knew what Ye Xiao was thinking. He said: "We will decide if you have passed the second test or not through the rewards given to you by the Realm of Dreams when you'll come back."
"Hmm?" Ye Xiao frowned and could not help but ask: "What do you mean?"
"After you'll come back, the Realm of Dreams will present you rewards according to your contribution there. If the reward you receive from there is valuable enough to cause Ancient Gods to fight for, we will consider it a pass. But if the reward you gain there is not as valuable, you'll fail!"
"Don't think that obtaining a reward that could cause countless Ancient Gods to fight for is easy. If you are thinking like this, then let me tell you how wrong you are. It is extremely difficult to obtain such a reward even after entering the Realm of Dreams more than ten times. But you'll only have one chance. So, stay focused when you are there, and don't be killed soon."
Ye Xiao took a deep breath and nodded his head. He understood everything and prepared to go through the second test of the Third Trial.
"Are you ready?" Pygon asked.
"I'm ready!" Ye Xiao nodded in agreement. Then he went to the platform and climbed. Then he stepped into the middle of the platform.
"Good luck!" Pygon smiled and threw some kind of red liquid on the altar, causing the formation on the altar to shake with intense energy fluctuation.
The next instant, a shocking brilliance lighten the surrounding, causing even Pygon to close his eyes.
The next moment when Pygon opened his eyes, he saw Ye Xiao's body laying unconscious on the altar, but could no longer feel his powerful soul in his body. His soul seemed to have disappeared from his body.
