Chapter 284 The Rhinoceros Emperor's Scheme
Upon entering the 'Chaos Plaza', Gu Ce immediately sensed that something was amiss.
The space here, when viewed with the six eyes, reveals that the ten fundamental laws have perfectly merged together to form the Chaos Law. However, the Chaos Law is not like the fundamental laws in the primordial universe, which can be viewed separately.
The laws of chaos here are like a piece of unpolished jade, perfectly formed by nature. No matter how much you try to understand or study them, you cannot find any flaws or weaknesses in them. It is as if the true laws of chaos should be just like this.
Gu Ce's six eyes were clearly insufficient to analyze this level of chaotic laws.
Chaos Square was completely empty.
The ground here has changed color again, an indescribable color, like the chaotic currents in the cosmic sea. It is unknown what material this ground is made of, but the material is even more solid than the most powerful treasures.
Gu Ce had already tried, but he was unable to remove the metal and jade from these buildings or the main road.
If we can get our hands on it, we can probably hand it over to the Mountain Hermit to forge the most powerful treasures, or even more powerful weapons.
So, what is the purpose of this square?
Gu Ce pondered.
Those lava demons brought me here and even took away my Desolate Wood Palace. It couldn't have been for no reason; there must be something they wanted me to do.
However, no matter how much Gu Ce searched and looked around the square, he could not find the problem.
What exactly exists here?
Even a hint would be helpful!
Gu Ce had practically turned the square upside down, but still hadn't found any clues and could only wander aimlessly around.
And above the square.
The illusory figure had also arrived here. It did not conceal its form, but Gu Ce could not find it.
"It's time." The phantom looked at Gu Ce below and nodded to himself.
The Spaceship is a remnant of the Wu Kingdom!
On the continent of origin, there is a special form of entertainment that also serves as a means of cultivating and refining one's comprehension. Any major power or special inheritance will generally use it to test the comprehension of its candidates. It is called the Rhinoceros Emperor's Game!
The Rhinoceros Emperor Bureau was created by an ancient and powerful being, the Rhinoceros Emperor, before his demise, using all his strength.
The Rhinoceros Emperor's Game was naturally quite popular among the powerful figures of the Wu Kingdom. They often used it for entertainment, from newborn children to supreme beings.
The Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation demands an extremely high level of comprehension! Furthermore, frequently studying the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation can also improve one's comprehension!
The phantom then planned to use this Rhinoceros Emperor Formation to test Gu Ce's comprehension.
Gu Ce's potential is undeniable. Whether he chooses the path of laws or the path of bloodline cultivation, he has the potential to become the ruler of chaos. However, whether he can fully tap into and unleash this potential depends on his comprehension, will, and temperament.
Among them, judging one's temperament is very simple.
A strong person is one who has an indomitable mindset and believes in their own abilities, rather than blindly pursuing power. A true strong person needs to have sufficient talent in all aspects.
In the illusory view, Gu Ce's temperament is quite in line with the image of a true strongman. In other words, what really needs to be tested is his comprehension and willpower.
Willpower is actually simpler to judge than temperament.
In the primordial universe, there exists something like the Illusionary Sea that judges will. As a legacy from the Origin Continent, the Illusionary Image naturally has its own methods to test will.
"Whoosh!"
Seeing that the time was right, the phantom no longer concealed itself and teleported directly in front of Gu Ce.
"Who goes there!"
Gu Ce was startled. The appearance of this phantom was completely unexpected, as if it had always been there, but Gu Ce had not noticed it.
Even with Gu Ce's reflexes, he couldn't react in time before he appeared!
The phantom silently watched Gu Ce without speaking first, and Gu Ce relaxed and examined the phantom's appearance.
The phantom resembled a middle-aged human from Earth, with black eyes, yellow skin, and bluish hair. It wore a white robe-like garment and exuded an ancient aura.
If nothing unexpected happens, this should be what the people of Wu look like, just like the Wu people who cut off the East River.
"Gu Ce." The illusory figure spoke, his voice somewhat stiff, but one could tell he was trying his best to soften his tone.
Gu Ce wasn't surprised that the phantom knew his name.
"You possess one of the young master's toys from his childhood, and given your considerable potential, I am willing to grant you this opportunity to inherit the mantle. If you pass the test, you will directly become the master's successor. Are you... willing?"
"If you are unwilling, I will destroy your divine body, but you have an avatar, so you are able to survive."
"But if you are willing, once you fail the test, you will be directly annihilated by your soul and lose the possibility of resurrection."
"Make your choice," the phantom said.
"I'm willing," Gu Ce said without hesitation.
This inheritance looks to be in no way inferior to the Duan Donghe inheritance, and may even be more powerful!
"Alright." The phantom nodded slowly, then raised its hand.
Wow!
On both sides of the 'Chaos Plaza', stone pillars began to appear, each topped with a phantom image that was either a cube, a pyramid, or a polygon. Each pillar had a phantom image on it.
The stone pillars on the left, though seemingly illusory, are actually solid, containing thousands upon thousands of different fluctuations.
The stone pillars on the right are faint and indistinct, barely forming a skeleton.
There are 123 stone pillars on the left.
There are 10080 stone pillars on the right side.
The three-dimensional phantoms atop these stone pillars are all enormous, each containing immense fluctuations.
Furthermore, the three-dimensional phantoms atop the 123 stone pillars on the left correspond exactly one-to-one with the three-dimensional phantoms atop the first 123 stone pillars on the right.
On the left, a three-dimensional, ethereal image, solid and complete, resembles the Great Wall.
The three-dimensional phantom on the right is just a skeleton, like many bricks in the Great Wall that have been removed, making it look like it's about to collapse.
"What is this?" Gu Ce was somewhat puzzled, but he also had a general idea.
This must be the Void Emperor Bureau, right?
Just like the Broken East River, it seems that the people of the Wu Kingdom all like to use the Rhinoceros Emperor's Game to test other people's comprehension.
"This is the Rhinoceros Emperor's Game, a chess game left behind by an extremely powerful expert," the phantom said, without providing much information about the Phantom Emperor.
"This Rhinoceros King's Game has a total of 10081 basic endgames."
"There are 10080 endgames on the right side. As for the so-called 10081st endgame... it is a no-game! The left side is a perfect solution! Complete the first 123 endgames to find the solution."
"You need to study the basic rules of the Rhinoceros King Formation from the previous 123 solutions. This shouldn't be too difficult for you. Once you've thoroughly understood the rules, then you can start solving the formation!"
"Right now, you're merely at the Cosmic Venerable level, so I won't have too high expectations of you. As long as you can solve the 3000th puzzle within one era, that will be considered meeting the most basic requirement!"
"Of course, it would be even better if you could reach a higher number of games."
"If you meet the most basic requirements, I will pass on the master's secret techniques to you. If you reach an excellent level and can rival the previous young master, I will give you the remaining treasures, everything in the master's inheritance. If you reach the best level... then you will be cultivated as 'hope,' and I will spare no effort to help you become the strongest." The phantom said to Gu Ce.
"An excellent level is the ability to solve the 6000th game within three eras."
"The best level... is to solve the 9000th game within one hundred eras."
"Okay." Gu Ce nodded slightly.
Is it the Rhinoceros King Bureau?
Gu Ce had heard about this before and was naturally quite interested in it.
"You can use miniature universes or other treasures to accelerate time, which is within the scope of the rules." After explaining the rules, the phantom was about to leave when Gu Ce called it back.
"Sir, may I ask your name?" Gu Ce asked.
The phantom paused for a moment without turning around. Gu Ce watched its departing figure, and only after the phantom had left did he hear a faint sentence.
My name is... Su.
溯？
Gu Ce silently memorized the name and, without wasting any more time, turned to look at the Rhinoceros King Bureau.
……
In the primordial universe.
On Earth.
Gu Ce opened his eyes.
This is an energy clone that split off from Xingliuhai's clone!
This energy clone was created when Gu Cexing's Flowing Sea clone and Luo Feng explored the Winged Space together. After obtaining Jie Fanzi's inheritance with Luo Feng, it naturally returned to the original universe with Luo Feng instead of dissipating.
This energy clone can serve as a final safeguard, and is even more useful than the divine power avatar.
If Gu Ce's main body and Star Stream Sea clone perish at the same time, then this energy clone can be transformed into a new Star Stream Sea clone, and at the same time, the main body will be reborn. However, the strength will be greatly reduced, and it is unknown how long it will take to recover to regain the current strength.
Swish!
The Chaos City Lord's Qianbaohe clone instantly appeared in the starry sky outside Earth, then grabbed Gu Ce's clone and took Gu Ce to the Giant Axe Founder's miniature universe.
Only within the miniature universe of the Giant Axe Founder can one experience a ten-thousand-fold time acceleration!
Meanwhile, Gu Ce's Star Flow Sea clone was exploring the Flowing Heavy Mountain.
Had Gu Ce known that he would be caught up in this inheritance, he would not have sent the Starflow Sea clone to Flowing Mountain. Instead, he would have sent the Starflow Sea clone to the Black Pattern Stone Pillar of the Cosmic Ship, which was the Tongtian Demon Pillar that Gu Ce himself originally intended to go to.
There, the flow of time is faster, which naturally makes it more effective in helping one comprehend the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation.
Pity.
