The answer to the trial is about to come out.

Because only in this way can it be explained why she, as a person in power, has never heard of 【Idiotic】, and why she forgot her past arrangements, because in the Civilization Epoch of the era she is in, 【Idiotic】 indeed has not descended, and He has no way to influence too many things behind the curtain of the world.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi's whole train of thought became clear, but at the same time, cold sweat also flowed down.

Because he found that the difficulty of the trial was still rising!

【Time】 not only buried a trap, but also built a maze in the trap. And when Cheng Shi gritted his teeth and circled out of the maze, he found that the door to escape he had anchored when looking from afar had suddenly turned into a stone wall.

He didn't seem to think about letting people come back, nor did he think about letting players win.

This... is the gift of 【Time】 to the believers of 【Fate】?

Good, good, good!

A good 【Time】, a good 【Existence】, this hatred...

I will endure it first, lest some gods don't talk about martial arts and bully the small with the big.

Praise 【Fate】, He taught me patience.

Since there is some speculation about Xilolin's matter, then looking at it this way, do the other two "staggering" of 【Time】 also have such problems?

What secrets are hidden in Gels and Adrick?

Cheng Shi frowned, walked straight out of the room to the place where Adrick was imprisoned, dragged this incontinent person and the stowaway on the roof beam back to the room where Xilolin was, and after thinking about it, decided to switch back to the Clown and save Gels's dog life.

He wants to win. This belief became stronger after feeling the deliberate obstruction of 【Time】.

You don't let me go back, don't let me win, then I will go back, I will win.

I don't believe that when I break through all the difficulties and win the trial uprightly by the rules of 【Faith Game】, the two masters of 【Nothingness】 will let you 【Time】 take me away under their noses!

Thus, the warrior of today raised his head and exited the stage, and the "demented" Clown returned to the stage.

After a healing spell, Gels woke up, but what greeted his rebirth was not cheers and applause, nor the officials of Gasmira, but the silver-shining scalpel that had once bestowed death upon him.

The Clown stuck the blade onto the wound that had just healed on the other party again.

"Gels, you only have one chance. I ask, you answer. If you are wrong, you die.

First question, what do you think is different between this world and the world you are in?"

"???"

Gels was stunned. He hadn't even woken up from the confusion of resurrection, still thinking he had just had a nightmare.

He looked at Cheng Shi in confusion, blinked, and said uncertainly: "I seem to have been a citizen of the Tower of Reason before, now, I am not?"

"?"

Is this the nightmare you had?

Isn't this the dream of a toad marrying a swan?

Do you think I am playing with you?

Cheng Shi laughed in anger. He casually threw out a knife flower and stabbed Gels in the thigh. Gels's expression changed drastically, he wailed, and finally woke up completely. He hugged Cheng Shi's arm with both hands and begged for mercy:

"I will say, I will say, I..."

The stowaway was terrified. He didn't know what the world Cheng Shi was talking about was at all. He racked his brains thinking about all his experiences, scraping for hope of survival in his chaotic memory.

Soon, he really thought of something.

"【Abyss Volcano】!

I don't know what world or not world, my lord, I only know that when I fell down, the 【Abyss Volcano】 should have been erupting upward, but now, it has changed direction.

Maybe this is the reason why I fell down?

I really don't know anything else, my lord!"

The 【Abyss Volcano】 changed direction?

Cheng Shi frowned and began to recall his cognition regarding the 【Abyss Volcano】. To be honest, he knew very little about this mysterious channel connecting the underground and the surface, only knowing that people in the Continent of Hope could go to the other side through this volcano.

After all, two months ago he was just a loafer, not even often stepping into the void. Even now, when everyone in peak-level matches borrows the void, he enters and exits the void most often when summoned by the gods, rather than actively breaking reality himself.

The Clown's current game route is different from other players. His "knowledge" mostly comes from their mouths, and history is directly "broken and fed into his mouth" by peak-level players, so this also led to him missing many historical details of the Continent of Hope related to exploration and investigation. The "fed" history was not for him to choose.

However, he had heard a little about the "chaos" of this space-time channel.

Occasionally, people in the chat channel would talk about the 【Abyss Volcano】. At this time, you could hear some mage players or players who have studied history discuss it. Almost all players believe that the 【Abyss Volcano】 is a place that confuses people's cognition, because whether it is the underground forces or the surface forces of the Continent of Hope, they have all marked that the eruption direction of the volcano never changes.

But when players participate in the trial, there are always people who are assigned to the vicinity of the 【Abyss Volcano】, and there are always players who deliberately approach the volcano to observe it. However, the conclusion they reached is that the eruption direction of the volcano is chaotic and disorderly. No matter which epoch, you never know whether the 【Abyss Volcano】 is erupting forward or backward, and there is no rule at all, and it may even conflict with past memories.

This place seems to be an existence independent of the world of the Continent of Hope, neither affected by history nor restricted by the game, just like those high-and-mighty 【Them】.

This is also the only place that even the History School hasn't studied clearly.

But today, at the moment of inferring the relationship between eras and epochs, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Cheng Shi's mind, and he thought of an inference that could explain this chaotic eruption phenomenon.

The records of the Continent of Hope are not wrong, and the NPCs underground and on the surface didn't lie. In their eyes, the 【Abyss Volcano】 here has indeed never changed, because what they experienced is just a fixed epoch under a certain era.

However, players in 【Faith Game】 are different. They have experienced too much. When players come near this 【Abyss Volcano】, what they see is not just the 【Abyss Volcano】 under a certain epoch, but the 【Abyss Volcano】 under different eras!

So is there a possibility that the eruption direction of the 【Abyss Volcano】 has nothing to do with the epoch, but is related to the era!?

Only in this way can it be explained why in the same epoch and the same period, players can still see different volcano eruption directions while NPCs firmly believe that the volcano has never changed, because although the players' epochs match, the eras don't match at all.

Coupled with the fact that this phenomenon is too misleading, and ordinary players don't know what an era is, so for a time, even the History School that studies history couldn't give a normal explanation!

Thinking of this, a flash of light flashed in Cheng Shi's eyes. He felt that he had grasped the key, so he examined the people in front of him again and asked for the eruption direction of the volcano in their memories one by one.
