Chapter 560: Chapter 555: The Grand Finale (Part 5)
The pure Green Star Stone Energy was rapidly absorbed by the earrings suspended in the air, and then it shone with an even more sacred light, gradually enveloping Ji Ning’s battered body in white light.
Seeing that Ji Ning wouldn’t die anytime soon, Quell Vis turned and left the land of the Son of God’s Trial.
Shortly after he left, the white light surrounding Ji Ning gradually merged into the green light band, forming interlocking rings of white and green energy around her, which quickly destroyed and healed Ji Ning’s wounds.
At this moment, she heard that unknown voice again in her mind.
[Ding—]
[Level 1 Cosmic Energy Stone detected, a new host binding can be initiated. Bind the Ring of Divine Son’s Training?]
Ji Ning struggled to control her trembling body, lifting her head with difficulty, but her vision was clouded by a red mist, obscuring everything.
"Who... are you?" Ji Ning gasped, her voice like it was squeezed from her throat.
But the other side did not answer her question.
Always cautious, Ji Ning released her spiritual power to explore around, only to find an unknown energy wall blocking her spiritual power.
At this moment, she couldn’t care about the unfamiliar voice in her mind, mobilizing her spiritual power to attempt to attack the unknown energy wall. However, she couldn’t sense the familiar energy fluctuations in nature.
It was as if the unknown energy wall had severed the connection, isolating her in a space devoid of any familiar energy.
Ji Ning felt a shock in her heart, experiencing panic for the first time, "Where is this place?"
Yet there was still no response around her.
The pain in her body was almost unbearable, and her mind was being tormented by a certain voice.
[Son of God Candidate, bind the Ring of Divine Son’s Training?]
[Son of God Candidate...]
Finally, Ji Ning could no longer endure it, shouting in anger: "Yes—"
As her voice fell, the circular altar underneath her suddenly emitted a rich green light, even the earrings suspended in mid-air shone with pure green light.
Ji Ning felt a strong wave of Green Star Stone Energy rapidly gathering somewhere above her head.
She strained to open her eyes to look, but was still confronted with red mist.
Her eyes were already stained red with blood, obscuring her vision.
She used her spiritual power to explore again, but the green light penetrated the unknown energy wall.
This circular area called the Divine Trial seemed like a cage, trapping her inside with no way out.
After an indeterminate amount of time, a small black dot appeared at the edge of the gray energy wall, drawing closer until it fell beside her hand and automatically fit onto her right middle finger, just right.
Ji Ning slowly extended her blood-streaked finger to touch the ring; its texture was smooth and delicate, unlike something from this planet.
Engraved on the ring’s surface were special patterns, which bore a strong resemblance to Ji Family’s ancient script in terms of the pattern’s direction.
"Is this... a Ji Family ring?" Ji Ning muttered to herself.
The unknown voice rang again:
[Ding—]
[New host successfully bound!]
"Bind what?" Ji Ning asked again, but the answer was the green light in the Divine Trial.
Once more, her back experienced the sensation of wounds tearing apart.
"Pfft—" Blood sprayed from her mouth in an instant.
This time, however, the earrings did not emit a healing white light, as if suddenly devoid of energy, they quietly lay in front of her.
Ji Ning’s hand with the ring tightened abruptly, her taut skin showing protruding veins, and her delicate blood vessels becoming vividly clear.
How long would this torture last?
[Ding—]
[An unclaimed Superpower Star detected, civilization level 1.5, bind this planet?]
Ji Ning’s eyelids fluttered in shock.
Bind a planet?
Instinctively sensing this was a good thing, she struggled to utter two words: "Bind it."
[Son of God, planet binding initiated, duration is 3 days.]
[Ding—]
[Son of God, Cosmic Space-Time Stone detected, retrieve it?]
[Ding—]
[Son of God, Level 5 Civilization artifact detected, retrieve it?]
...
[Ding—]
[Son of God detected at Quasi-God Realm, can enter Training Space. Son of God, enter the Training Space to undergo the Divine Trial?]
Countless system tones popped up incessantly like computer notifications.
```
The pain on Ji Ning’s body made her irritably ignore a series of bombardments of information, only catching the last question about the Divine Trial.
What the hell?
So what is she experiencing now?
Blood trails flowed from Ji Ning’s eyes, and she gritted her teeth to squeeze out two words: "Enter."
At the same time, Quell Vis’s pupils suddenly trembled, and he turned abruptly, rushing towards Ji Ning’s location.
On the circular altar, a woman covered in blood lay in the center, enduring the baptism of green light.
Circles of green light bands descended like Holy Light, making Quell Vis incredibly excited, his gaze fiery as if he were looking at a rare treasure.
A hint of an unnatural smile appeared on his ashen face as he muttered to himself, "I finally found you, you truly are the destined Son of God..."
Before the words were finished, Ji Ning suddenly disappeared from the altar.
***
Half an hour earlier —
A team of Superpower Warriors successfully arrived near the inverted triangle building with the help of Mutated Orchid and was inspecting around, yet found no entrance to the building.
Just when they were at a loss, the environment around the building began to change again, and the black mist that had dispersed started to thicken.
The captain leading the team slightly changed his expression and immediately ordered a retreat.
In the temporary camp stationed outside the safe line, Fu Lishen and Ye Xingyan suddenly received information from the Beizhou Space Center:
[Vortex clouds have appeared above the monitored area.]
Oh no, this area is going to have a magnetic storm.
"Everyone, quickly pack up, evacuate!"
Approaching the Nanling Safety Zone, the energy inside Du Mu suddenly went out of control, causing him to bleed from his seven orifices, nearly scaring the warriors escorting him.
"Hey, wake up... hey..."
"Hurry up, drive, he’s going to explode..."
With the urgent shouts from the warriors, Du Mu, who had already fainted, suddenly opened his eyes.
His pitch-black pupils showed no focus, coupled with his face full of blood marks; now he wouldn’t need makeup for a horror movie. Even battle-hardened warriors were startled by his state.
"You... you’re awake?" The warrior closest cautiously raised his hand, trying to touch him, but was hit on the nose by Du Mu’s sudden punch.
The driver in front quickly stomped on the brakes, and the base off-road vehicle slid forward two or three meters due to inertia before stopping.
Du Mu stabilized himself, quickly opened the car door, jumped out, and fled into the depths of the forest.
Chasing someone in the pitch-black forest was extremely difficult; after pursuing for a distance, the warriors lost track of him.
Du Mu was like a puppet without a soul, with vacant pupils, only knowing to run madly in one direction.
In the darkness, even ordinary branches could become deadly weapons.
When sharp branches tore his clothes, adding countless cuts to his robust body, Du Mu’s footsteps gradually slowed down.
In the dense black mist, a tall figure gradually appeared, precisely the Mutant Beast King by Quell Vis’s side that could speak.
"The God Lord is looking for you, take this and go over." The Mutant Beast King held a piece of Mutated Orchid, its pupils glowing green, appearing terrifying in the dark environment.
Du Mu seemed oblivious to the horror, directly following.
The man and the beast swiftly traversed the forest and soon entered the depths of the black mist, successfully entering before it completely sealed Region 318217.
The suddenly bright light made Du Mu instinctively squint his blood-stained eyes.
Compared to the dire outside environment, the scenery here was like paradise.
His steps unconsciously slowed down a bit.
The dense aura of mutated plants seemed alive, infusing Wood Energy into his body, gradually healing his external injuries.
The Mutant Beast King turned back in surprise, a trace of envy flashed in its pupils.
Suddenly—
"Damn—" A roar filled with rage sounded from not far away.
The Mutant Beast King’s body instinctively trembled, its eyes full of fear toward the owner of the voice.
Quell Vis stood in the center of the stopped Divine Trial’s circular altar, roaring madly.
He hadn’t expected the Divine Trial to be interrupted by the Trial Ring.
If Ji Ning entered the Trial Ring, then what’s the point of his many years of planning?
Damn old thing, useless, couldn’t even see through this small matter.
Just a waste of his Green Star Stone.
Quell Vis clenched his fist tightly, a cloud of darkness filling his eyes.
Until he saw two metallic sheen earrings on the ground, his brows instantly furrowed.
This is...
