Chapter 1440 The Great One\'s Proposal
<You have a new challenge!>
<Restrict the enemy\'s movements for as long as possible!>
<Difficulty has been adjusted based on your talents!>
<Error!>
<Error!!>
<Error!!!>
<The challenger\'s talents could not be evaluated!>
<Difficulty has been set to the maximum>
Yuan suddenly found himself standing in the middle of a long bridge while surrounded by golden clouds, and a familiar-
looking entity with red skin and a bloodthirsty aura stood on the other side of the bridge.
"A demon, huh?"
In the presence of a demon, most would quiver with fear, but Yuan calmly gazed at it like it was akin to an ant in his eyes.
This demon had the cultivation of Spirit Enlightenment, but in terms of prowess, it would rival even a Divine Warrior.
<Prevent the demon from crossing the red line for as long as possible!>
Yuan shifted his head and gaze to look behind him at the red line drawn on the bridge.
<The trial will begin in 1 minute>
[0:59]
[0:58]
[0:57]
"A whole minute to prepare? How generous." Yuan mumbled as he took a seat right behind the red line.
Once the timer reached zero, the demon started walking toward the red line in small and slow steps.
Yet, Yuan didn\'t do anything and calmly watched as the demon slowly approached him.
Seeing this, the demon bore a perplexed expression, baffled by Yuan\'s lack of resistance or opposition, almost as though he had no intention of stopping it.
It took almost 90 seconds, but the demon finally stood before the red line.
As the demon raised its leg to take the final step, Yuan calmly muttered, "Swords of Eternal Torment."
The demon suddenly found itself unable to control even a single muscle within its body, much less finish the final step, almost as though its figure was completely frozen in time.
[1:31]
[10:31]
[1:59:31]
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, yet the demon remained frozen with its leg halfway in the air.
Four hours… ten hours… fifty hours…
Once the timer reached 72 hours, the demon suddenly shattered into countless fragments like glass, followed by a notification.
<You have completed the Great One\'s Trial!>
<Total time: 259200 seconds>
<Congratluations! You have set a new record!>
<Since you have already reached the limit of trials you may complete, you will not receive any rewards!>
Yuan already knew that he wouldn\'t receive any reward for completing the Great One\'s trial, but he still wanted to see if there would be any difference.
"It was a lot easier than I\'d anticipated…" Yuan muttered to himself as he left the scene.
However, as he reached the exit, he sensed a profound gaze staring at him.
He immediately turned around.
"You are…" Yuan was slightly surprised by the sudden appearance of an eye that hovered at the corner of the room.
"Oh? You can see me?" The eye spoke in a slightly surprised tone.
"You must be the Great One." Yuan quickly identified the identity of this golden eye.
The Great One narrowed his eyes slightly and remained silent for a few moments.
"It hasn\'t been that long since our last encounter, yet your progress has been... monstrous, for lack of a better term," The Great One remarked.
The Great One had already recognized Yuan\'s potential from their first meeting, but he never could have imagined that he had underestimated Yuan\'s talent to such an extent.
"Hahaha!"
The Great One suddenly started laughing.
"Yuan, correct? Why did you challenge the trial even though you wouldn\'t receive anything?"
"I just felt like it." Yuan casually shrugged.
"Interesting… then allow me to ask you another question—
why have you returned to the Shadow Realm? If you\'re seeking treasure, I\'m afraid you won\'t find anything besides the ones within the Treasure Room."
"I\'m not here for treasures." Yuan shook his head and did not further explain his situation.
The Great One stared directly into Yuan\'s eyes, almost as though he wanted to read Yuan\'s memories like the last time. However, he quickly realized that he was unable to see anything and swiftly gave up.
"I have never met anyone half as talented as you." The Great One sighed.
"Thank you."
"..."
After a moment of silence, the Great One spoke in a serious voice, "It\'s been countless years since I last met someone with even half your potential. It would be a waste to ignore such talents, so I have a proposal. How about becoming my disciple?"
"Excuse me? You want to accept me as your disciple?" Yuan didn\'t dare to believe his ears.
"Indeed. If you become my disciple, I will help you reach the God Ascension realm within 1,000 years."
Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What about your legacy?"
"What about it?"
"Would it still count if I met you in such a manner?"
"Hahaha!"
The Great One started laughing again.
"The treasures I\'ll give to my own disciple will naturally be much better than the legacy\'s reward, something I created out of boredom! To tell you the truth, the legacy\'s rewards are mostly just random trash I\'ve picked up throughout the years. Of course, even trash that I pick up is better than what the top families in the Nine Heaven could provide!"
Yuan was left speechless by this revelation. The notion that the creation of the Great One\'s Legacy stemmed from mere boredom caught him entirely off guard.
"You look disappointed. Is it due to the rewards or something else?" The Great One inquired.
"A little bit of both, I guess."
"As I\'d said, even though the treasures for the legacy are worthless to me, they are still extremely valuable to others—
especially humans. I can randomly pick a treasure from the pile and it would be valuable enough to start a war."
"Of course, you wouldn\'t have to worry about that if you became my disciple, as you\'ll have access to the most powerful techniques and valuable treasures in the Nine Heavens."
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime offer. Even Immortals and Gods would not hesitate to become my servant, much less a disciple."
The Great One became silent and patiently awaited Yuan\'s response.
