I Truly Am The Villian - Chapter 2519

Chapter 2519: Chapter 2518: Death of All Living Beings, World Collapse

The next moment, explosions echoed from all corners of the world.

Every woman who did not pass the test exploded and died.

This is the cruelty of the entire Cosmic Trial.

Regardless of whether you are strong or weak, at this moment, equality and fairness prevail.

If you don’t withstand the test, you die.

Don’t think for a moment that the sky falling would be propped up by the tall ones.

There are so many strong ones ahead to bear the brunt.

Even if you are just an ant, you play a decisive role in this Cosmic Trial.

As people felt those around them exploding and dying one by one, terror spread among them.

At this moment, the World-Weary Empress began to sit high above the firmament.

Her figure resembled the Milky Way descending from the nine heavens, visible to anyone who looked up.

She chanted a certain incantation silently.

The sound spread across the entire Daughter Star.

Countless people began to chant along with her.

At that moment, people’s hearts finally settled, and calm was restored.

In the sky, the Heavenly Dao script began to transform again.

[Second Trial: Heavenly Fire Tempering the Heart]

[Third Trial: No Turning Back]

At this moment, both trials descended simultaneously.

In the north and south of the firmament, the sky seemed to have split open, creating huge chasms.

From within these chasms, the forces of flame and water gushed down.

Like molten waterfalls.

The entire Daughter Star resembled a bucket, continuously being filled with fire and water from outside.

As if trying to submerge the entire world.

“What… what is this?”

“Is it an illusion?”

Someone murmured.

At that moment, countless people were engulfed by the water and fire.

The suffocating cold and the burning red flames merged.

Making it hard to breathe.

But the requirement of this trial is to test the will of all living beings.

In Xu Zimei’s view, this trial was not difficult.

Because for beings like them, the Daoist heart is supremely solid.

Let alone this heavenly fire and cold water.

No matter how difficult the trial, it cannot shake them.

Xu Zimei believed that for the World-Weary Empress, this test was of little concern.

But…

Indeed, there’s a but here.

The Cosmic Trial has never been a trial for the strongest, but a trial for the myriad of living beings.

As a Comprehender of the Dao, you can of course withstand the test.

But for the myriad of living beings.

Those who have just stepped into cultivation.

Those cultivators with weak abilities.

How can they endure?

For them, heavenly fire and cold water are no different from the end of the world.

At this moment, their Daoist hearts wavered, panic was only normal.

Indeed, as the two forces merged and descended.

Countless people began to struggle in suffocation and burning.

As their Daoist hearts shattered, countless people exploded and died.

Such is the cruelty of the Cosmic Trial.

No mercy exists.

Survive and you live, fail and you die.

Killing in the blink of an eye with not a shred of mercy.

If everyone in the world fails the trial, then everyone would be obliterated.

This is the Cosmic Trial.

Without complete preparation, no one dares to attempt the trial lightly.

These two trials alone claimed the lives of one-fifth of the participants.

Upon witnessing this, the World-Weary Empress’s expression dramatically shifted.

Three trials remain.

Moreover, she knows the significance of the remaining three trials.

Though she had prepared much for this day.

Sadly, when truly experiencing it, she realized that without firsthand experience, one could never truly understand the terror.

At this time, no external force was of any use.

She waved her hand grandly.

Shouted, “The things we’ve prepared can be used now.”

“Don’t give up, as long as we get through this moment, our era will dawn.”

With the World-Weary Empress’s words, everyone took out a Jade Pendant.

To create this Jade Pendant, or rather for this trial.

The World-Weary Empress had poured everything she had, all her resources and foundations.

[Fourth Trial: Revival of All Things]

[Fifth Trial: Rule Change]

As the words in the firmament changed again.

Xu Zimei knew that the moment for the Daughter Star to transform had arrived.

If they survive, they would truly be like stepping into immortality.

Stepping into a completely new realm.

If not, then they would be utterly consigned to oblivion.

The so-called revival of all things meant awakening everyone’s cultivation and life.

But to awaken, one must first descend.

This was the most terrifying thing.

At this moment, countless people felt their cultivation slipping away.

Even gradually losing touch with their bodies.

As if all perception was reduced to zero, as if losing life.

“Am I… am I dead?”

Countless people found it unbelievable.

They hurriedly shattered their Jade Pendants.

This pendant was the Slumbering Jade Pendant.

According to the World-Weary Empress’s plan, these two trials were extremely difficult.

Most people wouldn’t likely pass.

So she wished to let countless enter into slumber.

Once asleep, they couldn’t react further, thus passing smoothly.

Those asleep wouldn’t know of death, nor of great terror, but would fall into eternal slumber.

But evidently, the World-Weary Empress had underestimated matters.

At that moment, indeed countless people fell into slumber.

But these people only physically slept, while their Divine Souls remained awake.

Under the influence of the cosmic power, countless Divine Souls began to detach.

Their Divine Souls floated in the void, observing their bodies, each feeling their impending death.

“How could this be,” the World-Weary Empress was somewhat panicked.

But Xu Zimei understood.

The Cosmic Trial must be faced head-on.

There can be no hint of fortuitousness.

Thinking of evasion or loopholes.

And those Divine Souls floating in the void, observing their bodies.

They saw these bodies beginning to die, rot.

This is the descent before awakening.

The Old Tree grows new branches, while the old ones must die.

And upon revival, the old body too must entirely perish.

This is the fourth trial.

And at this moment, both the fourth and fifth trials descended simultaneously.

The fifth trial was Rule Change.

This is easier to understand.

The significant difference between medium worlds and large worlds is the limitation of the world.

Like Xu Zimei in Yuan Central Continent before, the strongest was the Great Emperor.

Did Great Emperors not wish to advance further?

Clearly, they did.

But Yuan Central Continent had its limits, and cultivation beyond the Great Emperor’s level was confined.

That is why countless people sought ascendance.

The same goes for medium worlds.

Strong cultivators after enlightenment in the Dao can no longer progress.

Nor can they achieve Great Dao Completion.

Because the world is deficient.

Rule Change means gradually opening the medium world’s rules to those of a large world.

When the time comes, those at the Enlightenment level can continue to cultivate, just like in a large world.

Yet during the world rule change, original rules undergo major transformations.

At this moment, all rules begin to twist.

And continuously collapse.
