Chapter 1015 - 420: An Offer That Cannot Be Refused (2)

Alka couldn’t help but ask curiously.

There must be a change when you impart your will to the rule, right? If the rule remains unchanged, it would be meaningless.

"Of course there is, haven’t you felt it?" the instructor asked Alka.

"What feeling?" Alka frowned, puzzled.

"What is a trial? What is the Tower of Trial?

This tower-like structure remained intact after the world shattered and has been operating for so long. You wouldn’t think it’s because our construction techniques are good, would you?

This is just one of the twelve towers. How could it exist eternally like this? All of this is because the essence of the trial has a certain inclination. This is a change of will to the rule itself.

This is also why the Divine Hall of Trials has always existed, and we instructors have essentially become its vassals, able to continue existing.

The rule is fair, and without personality, it’s meaningless. It is the natural law of the world.

Fairness is cruel, without compassion.

Any ordeal can be called a trial, but does such a trial have a reward? No.

Because in the natural law, trials are not the only participant; there will be luck, there will be cost.

All ordeals are merely pain, but they become trials only when there are rewards."

Saying this, the instructor’s once calm face became somewhat fervent, as if preaching to Alka.

"So, do you know, once painful ordeals are just pain forever. Experiencing the ordeal will make you more painful.

Because that’s how rules are, nature is equally bloody.

But when My Divine gives its will, it changes, all who truly experience trials will gain.

Perhaps the gain does not make their life much better than before, but it is ultimately good, at least not worse.

Isn’t this true benevolence?"

Alka sat in his place, contemplating.

He suddenly thought of something.

It was the rumor that has always been spread on the sea.

Everything drifting on the ocean is part of fate’s gift.

It is all suitable.

Even if crises on the Drifting Island are hard to cope with on their own.

Such a rumor can spread, surely because after overcoming the crisis on the island, he would definitely gain enough to continue sailing.

And those who die on the island, naturally counted as a failed trial.

Of course, that’s not all.

But after what the instructor just said, Alka might feel there is such power running within.

The instructor continued: "The Divine Essence reward from the Tower of Trial can basically adapt to you all. Do you know why?

You might have already guessed, how could such Divine Essence adapt to you all, you surely have such doubts.

For such results, we must have a huge Treasure Vault storing a large amount of Divine Essence, otherwise it would be difficult to ensure such rewards."

Alka nodded, indeed this was the most puzzling part for him.

Furthermore, according to their knowledge, during the Golden Era, this Divine was not considered strong, just one among the many gods.

Not powerful enough to be praised, with no notable feats.

The only thing worth mentioning is the Trial Island for mortals, for the gods’ followers, and for the offspring of powerful beings.

Conducting precise trials and cultivation.

How could he ensure that a single Tower of Trial, through trials, grants Divine Essence that surely matches the individual?

Even though Divine Essence has more adaptability than Treasure.

It ultimately requires a match, let alone owning multiple divinity.

"That’s because a willed rule will mobilize other rules.

The world’s functioning isn’t achieved by a single rule, but numerous intertwined rules forming the world. Every natural phenomenon is the interaction between rules, never a single rule can achieve it."

The instructor said.

At this point, Alka could roughly understand some of the meanings he wanted to convey.

The world itself is composed of a vast Combination of rules.

Even the ordinary breeze passing might not be just simple wind.

"Therefore, the reason you can certainly gain abilities matching you is that the Divine Essence is limited.

There doesn’t exist a large Treasure Vault, the stock of Divine Essence is finite. Moreover, most are collected at the end of Divine War.

The reason it necessarily matches you is because the trial’s rule has will, connecting wills after trials allows the Divine Essence to match with equivalent exchange."

The instructor smiled as he spoke: "As I just said, the alchemist of equivalent exchange, imbuing rules with will.

He will help the trial’s rules, through previously existing special methods, turn originally mismatched rules into Divine Essence matching you.

After all, it’s equivalent exchange, isn’t it?"

Upon hearing this, Alka couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

"So, does this mean, the will of the rule allows him to return mismatched Divine Essence to the world and extract a matching Divine Essence from the world instead?"
