Chapter 4141 - Duan Ling Tian’s New Identity

After the 100 students disappeared, the Formation compass continued to hover in midair, and the colorful lights did not disappear.

Yun Meng Shan, one of the Vice Academy Masters of the Myriad Laws Academy, sat cross-legged in the air above the Formation compass. Then, he glanced around expressionlessly before he said icily, “No one’s allowed to approach this place over the next three years. Those who come close, regardless of who they are, will be killed without mercy.”

Yun Meng Shan had spoken so seriously that no one doubted the truth of his words.

The students’ expressions turned solemn immediately.

“I heard that the entrance and exit of the Trial of Gods are in the Formation compass, which was given by the supreme powerhouse. The Formation compass has to remain here for as long as the students are in there. Otherwise, they’ll be lost in the Trial of Gods, unable to leave. The only way to leave at that time is if a supreme powerhouse intervenes. However, the likelihood of that happening is almost zero.”

In the history of the Myriad Laws Academy, there was once when someone tried to destroy the Formation compass while it was being used and almost succeeded. Fortunately, the Academy Master of the Myriad Laws Academy intervened and stopped the other party in time. Needless to say, the other party was killed.

The other party was a teacher from the Student faction of the Myriad Laws Academy. It was clear that the other party was forced to destroy the Formation compass, just like how the three teachers were forced to make an attempt at Duan Ling Tian’s life.

After all, it would be difficult for outsiders to enter the Myriad Laws Academy. Before they could even reach the central square, which was located in the center of the academy like its name suggested, the members of the academy would have already dealt with the intruder.

Due to that incident, an intermediate Supreme God would be tasked with guarding the Formation compass when the Trial of Gods opened. Ever since then, no one stirred up any trouble.



‘Who am I? Where am I?’

After the colorful beam of light shrouded Duan Ling Tian, he had briefly lost consciousness. Although just a moment had passed, it felt as though a century had passed. He was dazed and confused.

Duan Ling Tian surveyed his unfamiliar surroundings in a daze blankly. At this time, he could not even remember who he was. Fortunately, as time passed, he finally regained clarity of mind.

‘That’s right. I’m Duan Ling Tian, and I came from the Myriad Laws Academy. I was transported to Trial of Gods through the Formation compass.’

When Duan Ling Tian finally remembered who he was, a piece of memory appeared in his mind. It was the memory of a handsome young man.

‘I… Currently, my identity is the boy toy of the City Governor of Wu You City?’

Liu Wu You, the City Governor of Wu You City, was a cold and arrogant woman. She was one of the many overlords in the Divine Kingdom, and she was subjected to the rule of the Mansion Master.

In the past, a womanizer, who was the son of the Mansion Master, came to Wu You City and fell in love with Liu Wu You. To stop his advances and make him give up, Liu Wu You had simply found a man, whose identity and appearance Duan Ling Tian now assumed.

Liu Wu You and the body Duan Ling Tian now occupied did not fall in love. He continued to stay in the City Governor’s estate with the identity of her boy toy. However, after their initial meeting, he did not meet her again. She seemed to have completely forgotten about him.

“So that City Governor Liu Wu You was just using him as a shield. It’s likely that she kept him in her mansion as her boy toy because she was afraid that people would realize she was lying. According to his memory, he’s living in a remote courtyard in her mansion. She’s also a… rudimentary Emperor of Gods?”

Duan Ling Tian learned quite a few things from the memory of the person he now possessed.

Wu You City was one of the many cities in the Divine Kingdom’s Divine Spirit Mansion.

As for the person Duan Ling Tian had now become, the furthest he had traveled was to the city next to Wu You City. All his knowledge of the other cities was only based on the words of others.

He was very handsome, but his cultivation talent was only mediocre. It was due to his appearance that Liu Wu You, who saw him by chance, decided to bring him back to the City Governor’s estate and used him as a shield to anger the son of the Mansion Master.

In fact, the son of the Mansion Master was only interested in Liu Wu You because he heard that she had never been with a man. Hence, as soon as he found out about her boy toy, he no longer pestered her.

“This person whom I’ve now become doesn’t know much… One thing’s for sure, he’s a native of Wu You City. The city isn’t always named as such. Its name would change according to the City Governor. Conflicts between cities are the norm. Outside of the cities, people from different cities and the same cities would kill each other due to rules in the Trial of Gods, which rewarded killing. The reward would help one to improve one’s strength…”

Duan Ling Tian was slightly disappointed that the memory he received did not provide him with much information.

After a moment, Duan Ling Tian sensed his Divine Energy and tried to cast his law. Then, a smile appeared on his face. He looked a little devilish when he smiled with his current appearance.

Following that, Duan Ling Tian sensed his Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword before he called out, “Huang’er.”

“Master,” Huang’er responded swiftly.

Duan Ling Tian fell silent when he heard Huang’er’s voice. After a moment, he took a deep breath before he muttered to himself with a complicated expression on his face, “The supreme powerhouses are truly amazing. They managed to create such realistic illusions. It really doesn’t feel like I’m in an illusory world at all…”

Duan Ling Tian used his Divine Energy and shaped it into a needle before pricking himself. The sharp pain told him that despite being in a world of illusions, he was truly here. It was truly difficult to distinguish between illusions and reality, and it dawned on him just how vast the powers of supreme powerhouses were. Just a few super powerhouses were able to create such a lifelike place. Moreover, according to Yang Yu Chen, the inside of the Trial of Gods would change every time it opened.

“Third Senior Brother didn’t elaborate much about the time he entered the Trial of Gods. He only told me that when he entered the Trial of Gods, there were no such things as cities, Mansions, or kingdoms. The world he was transported to was a world of sects that competed with each other… On the contrary, I’m now in the Divine Kingdom with Mansions and cities…”

‘I should find out more about this place… All I know is that the strongest person in Wu You City is Liu Wu You,the City Governor, and she’s the only rudimentary Emperor of Gods in the city,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

Currently, he was in a remote courtyard in the back of the City Governor’s residence. After a moment, he decided to leave and explore the place. However, as soon as he stepped out, he was stopped by another person.

The other party was an old woman with an average appearance. Her gaze was murderous as she said, “You Wen Feng, by the order of the City Governor, you’re prohibited from leaving this courtyard with her permission. Are you trying to defy the City Governor’s orders?”

Duan Ling Tian looked at the old woman calmly. Based on You Wen Feng’s memory, he knew that the old woman, who was a rudimentary Lord of Gods, had been sent by Liu Wu You to keep an eye on him. After all, Liu Wu You wanted to keep him here to ensure that her lies would not be exposed, which would inevitably attract the attention of the son of the Mansion Master again.

“Get out of my way.”

The You Wen Feng now was not the You Wen Feng of the past, after all. Duan Ling Tian was now You Wen Feng, and Duan Ling Tian did not lose his cultivation, prominent divine artifact, and spatial ring after becoming You Wen Feng. This was also one of the reasons why Duan Ling Tian was amazed by the supreme powerhouses’ means.

“Huh?”

The old woman’s expression changed drastically. She could hardly believe that ‘You Wen Feng’ told her to get out of his way; for a moment, she even thought that she had heard it wrong. After all, You Wen Feng, who only had the cultivation base of a god, used to bow respectfully whenever he saw her. She did not understand how someone like that dared to speak to her in such a manner. Was he seeking death? Or did he think the City Governor would not kill him?

After a moment, the old woman said darkly, “You Wen Feng, it’s true that I daren’t kill you without the City Governor’s permission, but, it’s not a problem for me to injure you to the point where you’ll be bedridden for a few years.”

As the old woman spoke, her Divine Energy began to surge, looking as though she was going to make a move.

Swoosh!

Duan Ling Tian did not waste words with the old woman. He flashed, charging at the old woman. At the same time, his Divine Energy surged, stirring up a spatial storm.

Boom!

A thunderous sound rang in the air as the old woman was sent flying, spitting out blood. Fear shone in her eyes as she looked at the young man before her.

Previously, she had mobilized her Divine Energy, ready to unleash it at a moment’s notice. However, before she had a chance to do so, she was knocked away. Even an advanced King of Gods would not be able to send her flying, let alone a god. Moreover, when the collision happened, it felt as though she had collided with a terrifying beast. She felt powerless and helpless.

‘He… He’s an Emperor of Gods? H-his strength seemed to be that of an advanced Emperor of Gods! Isn’t he just a god?! How did he suddenly become an Emperor of Gods?!’

The old woman’s mind went blank immediately.
