Chapter 802: Chapter 802 – Trial

In comparison, Chen Heng’s attainments in the bloodline domain were very deep, so no matter what he saw, he would subconsciously think from that perspective.
However, standing at the side, Jameson and Caitlin didn’t think too much.
They looked ecstatic looking at the sparkling altar before them.
“After so many years, we finally did it...” Jameson’s face was full of joy.
According to him, the ancestors of the King’s Council had discovered this ruin a long time ago. After long research, they discovered this ruin’s value and its meaning. Because of this, the King’s Council’s people had always wanted to open this ruin in the past years, but they had never succeeded.
To open this ruin, one had to have enough divine bloodlines to come forward and sacrifice their blood. Only then would it be possible to succeed. However, such a person was almost extinct in this era. This was one of the reasons why the experiment on the Saint Child took place — to cultivate people with good divine bloodlines.
They had finally succeeded after experiencing such a long time/
“After the altar lights up, the door to the ruins should be opened soon...” Jameson took a deep breath and said, “Let’s go.”
He took the lead and walked inside. At this moment, an illusory door appeared before him. This was the entrance to the ruins, which opened as the altar lit up.
Chen Heng looked at the Golden Gate before him, and his eyes color changed unconsciously. His originally pure golden eyes had a hint of silver. The primogenitor’s power was unknowingly activated, allowing him to see the reality before him.
The essence of the Golden Gate emerged before him in this state. It was filled with dancing runes, looking resplendent and beautiful.
...
“There’s nothing abnormal...” After confirming everything was normal, Chen Heng followed Jameson and Caitlin through the teleportation array.
Slam...
An inexplicable sound came from the space and sounded clear and loud everywhere.
Chen Heng looked before him. They had already arrived at the interior of the ruins. It was a sealed space around them, like an underground city.
Logically speaking, there should be no light in this place, and there was no daylight in the surroundings. However, a faint light began to light up as if it sensed the arrival of Chen Heng and the others. Torches lit up spontaneously, illuminating the path before them.
“This is...” Following the light, Jameson and the others looked forward and stopped.
At this moment, a narrow, long staircase was placed before them. The staircase was very long. It was made of unique material and appeared golden.
On these stairs, an extremely suppressive force was transmitted and surged into everyone’s bodies.
“This is the inheritance stairs...”
Jameson immediately recognized the situation before him. “Legend has it that everyone was a descendant of the gods in ancient times. At that time, if someone reached adulthood, they would need to go through the inheritance stairs to inform their Elder Gods. So, to a certain extent, this was also one of the baptisms of the ancient kings. Are you hoping we can pass the stairs test by visiting this ceremony here?”
“Let’s go.” Beside them, Caitlin took a deep breath and finally said.
Chen Heng nodded and didn’t say anything. Instead, he just followed them head-on. The three of them walked up the stairs before them simultaneously. However, the situation presented was different. Among the three of them, Caitlin was the one who had the most difficulty. Just as she stepped onto the stairs, her face instantly turned pale.
This was only the beginning. The rest of the journey would become even more terrifying as time passed. Jameson was still fine. Although his movements were also somewhat stiff, he could still barely maintain his normal state.
Only Chen Heng looked as if nothing had happened and just walked quietly down the stairs and seemed as if he wasn’t affected in the slightest. No one present was surprised by this result.
There was a reason why divine bloodlines were called divine bloodlines. All bloodlines were said to originate from the initial primogenitor, which was true in this world. However, wouldn’t there be any classification if all bloodlines originated from the initial primogenitor? That wasn’t the case.
As time passed, many of the initially powerful primogenitor bloodlines gradually became thin and lost their divinity over time. Although these bloodlines could still be said to originate from the initial primogenitor, they were no longer as powerful.
Only by awakening the hidden power in the bloodline and obtaining the kind of divinity that originated from the primogenitor could it be called a divine bloodline.
Even in the era of the gods that had yet to disappear, a divine bloodline could still be called the king’s capital. There would not be problems in passing the trial before them.
The ones with problems were Jameson and Caitlin. The two of them seemed problematic. They were royalty, and their strength was very powerful in this era. However, there was still a long way to go before they could pass this trial.
Were they going to stop here? Of course not. Halfway through, a ball of candle flame appeared on Jameson’s body. A unique aura was emitted from his body, immediately reducing the pressure in the surroundings. He was using the secret treasure on his body to take on the part of the pressure around him.
Chen Heng glanced at Jameson and shook his head silently, and he didn’t say anything. Jameson could cheat, but Caitlin couldn’t. She was too weak compared to Jameson. Even if she had the secret treasure, it wouldn’t be useful.
She revealed an unwilling expression looking at the long staircase before her. If possible, she would want to walk up this staircase and see what was inside. Yet, unfortunately, her strength was limited, directly restricting her.
“Do you need help?” Chen Heng walked by her side and spoke.
He stretched out his hand and placed it beside Caitlin. Looking at this action, Caitlin was stunned for a moment. Then, she reacted, and a look of gratitude appeared on her face, “Thank you...”
The next moment, she held on to Chen Heng’s hand tightly. Then, all the pressure in the surroundings disappeared. Chen Heng held Caitlin’s hand and slowly moved forward. The entire process was smooth as if he didn’t feel any pressure.
At least, that was how Caitlin felt. All the pressure was borne by Chen Heng alone. So she could naturally feel much more relaxed by hiding behind Chen Heng.
Jameson had already reached the finish line. Sensing the movement behind him, he turned around and saw Chen Heng and Caitlin’s figures. Under his gaze, Chen Heng held Caitlin’s hand and walked forward, like an ancient king holding his queen’s hand walking up the trial stairs together.
This scene coincided with many scenes recorded in the past, and Jameson’s heart could not help but move, “Perhaps it’s time to find a wife for Kling...”
Ancient kings sometimes brought their wives along when they passed the trial. This action demonstrated confidence that they could withstand the pressure for two and pass the trial.
From a ritual point of view, this was also proof of some kind of relationship. It meant that the two of them would pass through difficult times together and never abandon each other.
Caitlin also thought of this and bushed a little as she looked at Chen Heng before her. They walked onto the high platform a moment later and passed the trial. Then, she reacted and put down Chen Heng’s hand.
“Let’s continue.” Before them, Jameson smiled and took a deep look at Chen Heng and Caitlin before continuing forward.
After passing through the long flight of stairs, they passed by many places. There were spacious, gorgeous palaces and solemn places of worship before reaching their final destination.
“This is it...”
Jameson finally stopped. His face revealed a look of joy, looking at the closed door before him, “The legendary sealed place where flesh and blood of gods were sealed. You will be able to see the remains of the past gods and obtain the power of the gods from them when you pass through this place...”
“Kling!” He looked at Chen Heng.
Chen Heng nodded in understanding when he felt Jameson’s gaze, then slowly walked forward. During this process, everything around them was calm, as if nothing had happened.
After entering this underground city, they encountered no obstacles other than the previous trials, as if this underground city was safe, without danger. However, was this the real situation in reality? Probably not.
A change seemed to occur as Chen Heng took a step forward. Then, he stopped. Around him, a hoarse voice slowly sounded as if gears were turning. Chen Heng’s body paused and subconsciously turned to look to the side. A tall statue stood there.
This space was spacious, and several statues were standing around as if they were the guards responsible for guarding this sealed door. Before this, Jameson and the others had only treated it as a statue. However, the statue started to move at this moment.
The tall statue slowly turned its head and looked at Chen Heng and the others. Its originally pure gray eyes became blood red as if they represented something.
‘Oh no!’ An ominous premonition appeared in Jameson’s mind, and his expression changed slightly. As expected, the unexpected premonition came true the next moment.
Bang!
A hoarse voice slowly sounded. The statue surged forward, and a huge longsword ruthlessly smashed toward Jameson’s body. The two forces collided, and Jameson was sent flying by all sorts of attacks.
“Elder!” Caitlin’s expression changed looking at this scene.
At this moment, there were also statues staring at her.
Boom!
An intense vibration shrouded the surroundings and appeared in this place. The statues in the surroundings came to life one after another. Comparatively speaking, the statues here didn’t seem to have much special power and only relied on their tall bodies and indestructible defensive power.
Though they seemed very simple, they could display great power in this place. As the deepest part of the buried city, this place was closest to the primogenitor’s power.
In this area, the oppressive force that originated from the primogenitor would become even more powerful, thus suppressing the power in most bloodline masters’ bodies.
For a powerful bloodline master like Jameson, he only had his strong body left after arriving in this area. The other powers had been completely suppressed. Under such circumstances, it was very difficult to face the suppression and strangulation of these guardians, not to mention Caitlin.
Standing quietly, Chen Heng looked at the situation before him and couldn’t help but frown.
‘What went wrong?’ This thought flashed through his mind.
Before entering this place, he had also seen the map and records in Jameson’s hands. The way they came in this time was completely according to the record, so there was nothing wrong with the process.
Logically, they should not have activated the defense here and caused the statues to revive. Yet this happened. The statue’s revival was raging at this moment, happening right before their eyes.
‘What exactly was going on? What had gone wrong?’ Chen Heng pondered in his heart as he avoided the attack of a statue.
‘This ruin is the sealed land of the Remains of the Heaven God. All sorts of things seem to have been prepared for a special person. Therefore, a trial appeared when it was opened...
There is no risk, judging from the long journey in the middle. The creator of the ruin should not have wanted to strangle outsiders in the ruin but only wanted to let the right person come here...
The right person…’ Chen Heng looked before him.
The Golden Gate stood before him, with many fine lines. Nevertheless, Chen Heng felt a sense of familiarity looking at the Golden Gate.
‘Why did I have this feeling?’ Chen Heng recalled for a moment and finally found the source of this familiar feeling.
The Golden Gate that hid the Sun’s bloodline and the remains of the Sun Arch Nemesis was located in the Golden Palace. There were a lot of similarities between the Golden Gate in the ruins of the King of the Sun and the Golden Gate before him. In other words, apart from a few parts, the two were almost identical.
‘So that’s how it is…’ Thinking of this, Chen Heng realized and finally understood the crux of the matter.
Bang!
The statues’ attack was continuing and had destroyed everything in all directions, leaving layers of marks. Jameson managed to dodge the statues’ attacks with great difficulty, and his face was ashen.
His strength was suppressed so much in this ruin that he couldn’t fight back. Under the situation where he couldn’t use his bloodline power, it was almost impossible for him to rely on his body power to fight against the statues.
‘What should I do?’ This thought flashed through his mind. It was a terrible situation, no matter how he looked at it.
‘What exactly went wrong?’ Jameson didn’t understand why such an accident would happen when everything was according to the records.
At this moment, he noticed Chen Heng’s actions before him. Chen Heng was just like him, trying his best to avoid the attacks of the statues around him, but it was just a little easier than him.
However, Chen Heng’s body stopped moving at this moment and did not maintain his previous speed. In this state, it was very easy for him to be attacked.
