Day 1: Day of Submergence

(April Fool's Day big cup! Praise 【Deception】, wish everyone never be deceived! XD)

"Approaching 【Order】, in the eyes of 【Chaos】, is even more of a chaos."

Didn't expect that a joke made that day to cover up his identity would actually come true.

Precisely because the believers of 【Chaos】 had that fabricated name on their heads, they approached 【Order】 and killed the son of 【Order】, and thus, true chaos was born.

Since then, the Grand Inquisition has fallen into the quagmire of war and cannot extricate itself, and 【Chaos】 has begun to descend with the passage of war time and the spread of faith.

So, who am I?

Is it Ultraman of the Star Fall Continent, or...

Cheng Shi of reality?

This question is huge, huge enough to make people's minds collapse.

In order not to go crazy, Cheng Shi decisively chose to skip this topic and return to the trial.

This is not something a mortal can figure out, at least, not now.

He quickly organized his thoughts and expressions, not letting Gao Yu see any flaws to associate any inferences about himself, and then cleverly changed the topic.

Gao Yu seemed to be still wanting more, but after Cheng Shi stopped talking, he felt a bit childish if he kept chatting by himself.

So his mouth opened and closed a few times, and this time he finally held back.

The group had been walking in the mountain col for four or five hours. At this time, the rainwater had begun to accumulate under their feet, and the water in the low-lying areas had even submerged the tops of their feet.

The road was getting harder and harder to walk.

But fortunately, the destination was in sight.

Zhao Qian looked up at the high mountain in front of him and said seriously:

"Miss Tao, please."

Tao Yi gave a light hum and began to cast spells on the vines extending on the mountain wall.

With the summoning of her nimble fingers, the vines hanging on the mountain wall began to grow wildly, as if ink was gradually staining on white rice paper. In just a few breaths, the vines covered the entire cliff wall.

This was obviously for everyone to climb the rock by stepping on the vines.

Time was tight, and they decided not to take a detour to climb the mountain.

Just turn a right angle upward here.

Cheng Shi looked at the nearly 90-degree cliff and sucked his teeth.

Gao Yu heard the movement and muttered in a low voice:

"Need help?"

An adult, asked by a child not yet 18 years old if he needed help.

As long as one has a little sense of shame, one should politely decline at this time, pretend a bit, and appropriately show the strength of an adult.

But Cheng Shi didn't.

What is a sense of shame?

I only have a heart for lying flat.

"Yes."

His answer was categorical.

Gao Yu showed an expression of "I knew it," nodded mechanically, and took out his tool kit from his clothes.

He took out a palm-sized silver-white metal material and a small hammer, placed the material in the air, and then hit it with the small hammer.

Not long after, under Cheng Shi's "forty, forty, forty" dubbing, he made a brand new back chair with a dark face.

A chair that can be carried on someone's back, and then let someone sit on it and be carried up the cliff!

Cheng Shi was not interested in the chair, but was very interested in the spells of the Mechanical Engineering Department.

Obviously, the small hammer in Gao Yu's hand was a very powerful spell tool.

The kid didn't even get distracted to shape it, just hit it a few times casually, and the chair was made according to the thoughts in his mind.

This level of shaping is much stronger than any 3D printing.

"You... want to carry me?"

"......"

Gao Yu turned to look at Cheng Shi, showing an expression of "you are even more shameless than I thought," and gritted his teeth:

"I am a mage!"

Cheng Shi smiled, took off the chair, and aimed his gaze at the front row.

The old man...

Forget it, he's coughing his lungs out.

Zhao Qian...

He has already climbed up, can't let him come down again.

Su Yi Da...

This dog thing had long seen through his thoughts and turned to put his hands on the cliff, obviously not wanting to do hard labor.

In that case, only one pink-haired girl is left...

Uh...

Kids make tools, women do hard labor?

If this is the result, wouldn't I, a dignified man, become a useless person?

"Need help?"

Tao Yi seemed to have expected that Cheng Shi needed help. She turned her head and looked at the back chair in Cheng Shi's hand.

Cheng Shi paused, and then puffed up his masculinity and said sonorously:

"Yes!"

Then he approached Tao Yi with a fawning smile and asked cheaply:

"Is it convenient?"

Tao Yi smiled like a little fox, her eyes narrowed into a line.

"It's convenient, I have them."

After speaking, she waved her hand, led the vines on the cliff down, threaded the chair, and stuck it to her side.

Cheng Shi was moved to the extreme, made a dash, and sat on it.

Oh my god, human elevator, really fragrant.

Gao Yu followed behind with a speechless face.

There seemed to be some auxiliary device on his legs, making him walk on the cliff as if on flat ground.

The group climbed to the mountainside of the stone mountain, split a few layers of stone slabs on the spot, and built a temporary rain shelter.

"The stone quality here is indeed hard, and it is convenient to go up and down, it is a good place."

Su Yi Da touched the stones on the mountain body with emotion, very affirmative of Zhao Qian's judgment.

Zhao Qian smiled casually, stood on the edge of the cliff, and looked into the distance.

"Don't be blindly optimistic, we don't know yet if the theme of this trial is rainwater, just take one step at a time."

"Cough cough cough... no need to be pessimistic, cough cough cough... young people, be more positive, soldiers come to block, water comes to cover."

"Good! Well said!"

Because everyone didn't spend much effort, Cheng Shi had no place to use his strength, so he could only act as a spiritual encouragement teacher, giving everyone some spiritual encouragement.

Su Yi Da glanced at Cheng Shi and shook his head with a laugh.

This... priest of 【Birth】? Sigh, hope he can be more reliable.

Cheng Shi's peripheral vision saw Su Yi Da's expression, and he smiled brilliantly, taking it as a response.

Time began to fast-forward, and the rain became heavier and heavier.

The initial bead curtain rain screen had gradually developed into a torrential rain.

No, perhaps torrential rain could no longer describe the current heavy rain, it was simply like draining the water of some river and pouring it down from the head.

The amount of water was so large that it almost made people unable to lift their arms.

The flood washed down, and even the shoulders and necks began to suffer pressure, becoming weighted.

Seeing this scene, no one could chat calmly anymore.

"The water is rising, in less than 1 hour at most, it will submerge here, everyone get ready."

Zhao Qian pulled a piece of vine and wrapped it rapidly, this posture seemed to be making something.

The voices of everyone talking to each other could no longer be heard clearly, and the stone slabs for rain shelter were also crumbling due to the heavy pressure. Su Yi Da protected his hands under his nose before he could barely open his mouth and say:

"This has only just submerged the foot of the mountain, can it be this fast?"

"You have to consider that the rain is still increasing, it will only be faster than this, not slower than this! Miss Tao, Gao Yu, help."

"Good!"

Tao Yi stood under the stone slab and cast spells on the cliff again, letting these vines climb up by themselves to become raw materials for building tools.

Gao Yu constantly waved the small hammer in his hand, hitting these vines solid, shaping them into hollow, tight "logs".

But this efficiency was far inferior to his hitting those special metals.

Zhao Qian was responsible for tying these logs tightly and then assembling them into a raft.

In the visible flood disaster, the simplest and most basic method is to build a raft that can drift with the waves.

As for why not let the engineering kid build a submarine directly...

Cheng Shi hadn't thought about it, but the materials in the kid's bag were too few, not even a single-person version could be hit out.

"Sigh, He had already calculated everything, this move of sealing the space is really absolute."

"How much more?"

"Three more!"

Just as the raft was about to be assembled, Su Yi Da ran back from the edge of the cliff with a solemn face.

"Quick, everyone get ready! It's too late!"

Everyone looked up in amazement, only to see that outside the mountains, where the sky and earth met, a continuous white line lit up at some point.

This white line kept getting thicker, and before long, all the players saw its original appearance.

That was no white line, it was simply a monstrous giant wave that could drop people's jaws.

The height of the wave almost made people look up until their necks broke!

Damn, what a joke!

With such a big wave, what's the use of a raft?

With this amount of water smashing down, it's a question of whether the stone mountain is still there!

"Tao Yi, continue! Gao Yu, weave vine baskets! Old Man Cui, reinforce the vine baskets!"

Zhao Qian reacted quickly and began to change strategies, attempting to turn the raft into a floater that could take people up.

In such a situation, sinking to the bottom of the water must be a foreseeable result, so, one can only think of ways to remedy it as soon as possible under the idea of how to float up quickly.

"Su Yi Da, if we don't succeed, is there a chance to come again?"

Zhao Qian looked at Su Yi Da with a solemn expression, looking forward to his reply.

Su Yi Da's eyes sank, and he said seriously: "I will try my best."

The words were not absolute, but it was a positive response.

This shows that he can indeed backtrack memories.

Knowing this was enough, Zhao Qian's face looked a little better, and he turned to look at Cheng Shi again.

"Nanny, underwater breath-holding and treatment, it's up to you, don't worry about the 'newborn', we'll solve it."

A priest has a skill called Water Healing, which can allow people to get sufficient breathing underwater and relieve pain. This is a basic skill, and Cheng Shi naturally has it too.

He nodded to show that he could be relied upon, but then frowned.

The trial lasts for three days.

If there is such a big momentum on the first day, Cheng Shi finds it hard to imagine how to spend the next three days.

Could it be, relying on surfing to spend the days?

This is not surfing on the internet, it can't kill time.

"It's coming! Everyone, get into the basket!! Quick!"

As soon as the voice fell, the sky went dark.

The rumbling buzzing even once covered the thunder in the sky!

Cheng Shi stepped into the vine basket fixed on the raft without hesitation, watching Cui Dingtian coughing while accelerating the absorption of the decaying energy of the vines to make the raft more solid, and nervously sucked in his breath.

In this situation, he couldn't help but be nervous.

The giant wave beyond imagination was right in front of him, it was like a giant wall built from the underground to the starry sky, and the oppressive feeling coming towards him was simply desperate.

"Nanny, treatment!"

In Zhao Qian's last roar...

With a "Boom—" sound.

The wave head faced down, destroying the world.

Everyone only felt a weight like the sky collapsing smashing on them, and everyone was pressed to vomit a mouthful of blood.

But this blood soon disappeared.

Because after a spin of the sky and earth, the once so-called mountain peak had turned into a stone reef rising from the bottom of the sea.

Everything in the field of vision sank into the sea. ===== CHAPTER 75 =====
