Three figures appeared beside the true body of the Trials Tower.
Their statures were majestic as they stood firm in the void.
Simply by being there, they seemed to connect heaven and earth.
"I never expected the Abyssal scum to launch a sneak attack."
"They are all creatures that shun the light."
"What do we do now?"
One of them made contact with the Trials Tower, probing the situation inside.
"Abyssal scum have infiltrated it."
"Their target is the examinees inside the Campaign Realm."
"The spatial rules inside the Tower have been disrupted.
Abyssal power has corrupted them."
"The earth inside the Tower was originally taken from the Essence Soil of the Abyss.
This favors them.
I need time to rectify the disorder."
"How long?"
"One hour."
Meanwhile, inside the Campaign Realm within the Tower, the students were fighting monsters vigorously.
Suddenly, all monsters vanished collectively.
Immediately after, the world transformed.
The atmosphere became even more oppressive in an instant.
Wispy black gases seeped from the earth.
"What's happening?"
"What's going on?"
"Why did the monsters suddenly disappear?"
Morintis immediately gathered his Skeleton Warriors to protect himself.
When the situation was unclear, self-preservation was the first choice.
"Blockhead."
A familiar voice.
Morintis saw Sophia.
Seeing someone else in the Campaign Realm was a surprise to Morintis.
He wasn't the only one surprised; Sophia was too.
The Skeleton Warriors parted to create a passage for Sophia to enter.
"Do you know what happened?"
Sophia asked.
Morintis shook his head, indicating he didn't know.
Sophia said, "I was just killing monsters, and then they suddenly vanished."
"I wonder what's wrong?"
Sophia was initially startled, but for some reason, with Morintis here, it seemed less frightening.
Morintis was too calm, and this demeanor transferred to Sophia as well.
Immediately after, beams of light lit up within the dark Campaign Realm.
One examinee after another appeared within the Campaign Realm.
There were over a hundred people.
Besides the five from their Jiangning Province, examinees from other provinces had also arrived here.
"Children."
A voice suddenly rang out.
"I am Byron."
A wave of astonishment swept through!
" White God!
It's actually White God !"
"I can actually hear Byron's voice!"
Byron was a top-tier powerhouse within the Divine Dragon Empire, revered as the White God .
The moment his voice appeared, it caused a massive stir within the Campaign Realm.
God Byron's voice not only resounded within the Campaign Realm but also spread throughout every examination venue.
Alistair's expression shifted slightly.
"Why has God Byron appeared?
Could something have happened?"
Byron's voice sounded again.
"Demons from the Abyssal World have invaded the Campaign Realm."
"We are currently repairing the rules of the Campaign Realm.
It will take approximately one hour."
"The demons from the Abyssal World are targeting you."
"So, for the next hour, you must protect yourselves."
"We do not know what method the Abyssal demons will use against you."
"I believe that as long as we unite as one, the invading force from the Abyss will be powerless against you."
"We, the people of the Divine Dragon Empire, fear no battle and dread no death."
His words carried immense inspirational power, evoking a strong共鸣.
"Fear no battle, dread no death!"
"Fear no battle, dread no death!"
"Fear no battle, dread no death!"
The examinees were all young, full of vigor.
Their emotions were stirred, and they shouted loudly one after another.
Sophia couldn't resist wanting to shout a couple of times, but seeing the still silent Morintis, she gave up, her hand half-raised.
Although Morintis didn't join the shouting, he was also only eighteen and a citizen of the Divine Dragon Empire.
Inevitably, there was excitement in his eyes.
He wouldn't shout, but when it came to killing Abyssal demons later, he wouldn't hold back.
The examinees began to gather.
Their education from a young age had taught them that the Abyss was a terrifying place.
It was said to be filled with countless monsters, demons, dungeons, and equipment.
"I heard the Abyss is terrifying.
The weakest monsters there are level 70, and they are Elite types," Sophia whispered.
She had heard about the horrors of the Abyss from Donovan Xia and felt some fear.
Morintis had only read about the Abyss in books, and even then, it was only mentioned briefly.
In other words, he knew nothing about the Abyss.
"I believe in God Byron," Morintis said calmly.
Since Byron said that as long as they united, they could resist the invading force of the Abyss.
...
Morintis had grasped the key point in Byron's words.
They were not resisting the Abyss itself.
They were resisting the invading force from the Abyss.
Presumably, this force wouldn't be too strong; it was something they could handle.
Otherwise, if a true Abyssal monster, a level 70 Elite, came in, it would be enough to instantly kill everyone here.
Sophia also seemed slightly reassured.
Outside, Alistair's gaze was somber.
"To think something like this would happen."
He was much calmer than the examiners, who were somewhat panicked.
"How could this happen?"
"I never expected this.
The Abyss deliberately targeted the National Exam."
"Worse, they are targeting the geniuses participating in the fifth round."
"If this isn't handled well, they will come every year from now on."
"This is an attempt to sever the roots of our Divine Dragon Empire!"
Those who could enter the Campaign Realm were all geniuses, the future of the Divine Dragon Empire.
This move by the Abyss was indeed insidious and vicious.
"Silence!"
Alistair suddenly spoke, causing the examiners to fall silent one by one.
Alistair's gaze swept over them like a sword.
"Tell the people outside not to panic.
Believe in God Byron."
"You too, believe in God Byron."
The examiners responded with respect, "We believe in God Byron!"
God Byron's status was supreme.
Within the Divine Dragon Empire, no one disbelieved his words.
Soon, the outside world quieted down.
Everyone chose to believe in God Byron.
Simultaneously, they prayed for the examinees within the Campaign Realm.
The atmosphere within the Campaign Realm grew increasingly heavy.
A crimson blood moon had appeared in the sky at some unknown time.
"It's the Abyssal Blood Moon!"
someone exclaimed.
"The power of the Abyss is starting to move."
"Everyone, prepare yourselves!"
