Imprisoned for a Trillion Years, I Was Worshipped by All Gods!-Chapter 352 - -The Final Trial

"Hahaha! I finally made it out of that place!"

Big White laughed as he stepped into the area.

Looking around, he found himself seemingly alone.

"Huh? Am I the first one here? Quick, quick, make sure you get my good side!"

He began striking poses dramatically.

The audience watching through the Illusion Stones couldn’t believe their eyes.

"What? How is it White God?"

"That sly, underhanded guy? How could he be the first to make it out?"

Anyone who had been following the trials over the past six months was well acquainted with Big White.

His distinctive antics had earned him the nickname "White God," though notably without the "King" title.

Big White’s style was carefree and mischievous, giving the impression that he would use any means necessary to pass the trials.

He even had a tendency to mess with his supposed teammates—at least, that’s how the audience saw it. Big White didn’t seem to view them as teammates at all.

His flamboyant antics and frequent mugging for the Illusion Stones had made him infamous.

No one could take him seriously as a potential victor.

"The fact that he’s the first one out is just unacceptable!"

"Could White God actually win the first Gold Board? He does have a time advantage now…"

"Please, no! That would be unbearable!"

Amid the chatter, Big White continued posing and acting as though he were on top of the world.

"Sigh, it seems that in all the God Realm, there are no other prodigies who can rival me!"

"Brother, aren’t you afraid someone will punch you for saying that?"

Lily arrived, rolling her eyes.

"What’s there to be afraid of? If I’m the first to arrive, it proves my talent! Anyone who wants to challenge me should think carefully about their chances!" Big White declared, brimming with confidence.

"Father’s not around, and you’re getting cockier by the day," Rose said as she emerged from the trial area.

Seeing her, Big White chuckled and finally stopped talking.

Following Rose was Reed, who paused upon noticing that the others had arrived before him.

"So, you all made it out already. Looks like I’m a bit late," he said.

Beside Reed was his wife, Saya.

This scene left the Illusion Stone audience utterly stunned.

No one had expected the first group to emerge would all…

all be from Crossbridge Academy.

Or rather, now considered part of the 5-Element God Realm.

"Hahaha, I knew it! Our 5-Element God Realm is the strongest! What are those Sun and Lunar God Realm prodigies compared to us?"

"Don’t get ahead of yourself. This was just a trial. The real competition is still ahead! That’s when the top factions will show their true power!"

"Still clinging to that, huh? Watch as we crush your Sun and Lunar God Realm pride!"

While Crossbridge Academy’s group casually chatted, other participants began emerging one after another.

These included prodigies from the top factions, though they appeared far less composed than the first group.

Some bore injuries from the trials, while others seemed visibly exhausted.

King Shark was among this second wave of participants.

In total, about twenty individuals gathered.

These were the top twenty young prodigies of the God Realm, and they would compete for the coveted Gold Boards.

As the last person emerged, the nine Gold Boards in the sky began to glow, encircling the arenas below.

The audience assumed the final battle was about to begin, but suddenly, a staircase materialized before the competitors.

The rules of the final trial were revealed:

The final challenge was to ascend 99 steps. Reaching the top would grant the opportunity to gain recognition from the Gold Boards.

At first glance, the challenge seemed simple.

There were no additional restrictions, which relieved some of the participants, especially those carrying injuries from the earlier trials.

If the final trial had been a direct battle, they would have been at a severe disadvantage.

"Boring! Is this the grand final challenge? How dull!"

Predictably, Big White’s voice rang out, accompanied by his signature smug expression.

Sensing the crowd’s irritation, the 5-Element God King provided a close-up of Big White’s antics, further fueling the audience’s frustration.

Anyone could see that the trial wouldn’t be as easy as it appeared.

After all, for these prodigies, 99 steps should pose no difficulty under normal circumstances.

"Ugh, this White God is insufferable! I just want to slap him!"

"I’m just here to test my strength. This final trial is meaningless to me. I’ll let you all have it," Big White declared, stepping aside and finding a spot to sit.

He looked every bit like a spectator, entirely disinterested in participating.

"Lily, come join me," he called.

"Okay," Lily replied, though she had no idea why she was being asked to sit out.

Still, she trusted Big White, much like she had believed his childhood stories about defeating hundreds of God Kings.

The 5-Element God King sighed at the sight.

He had expected his daughter to refrain from competing, but seeing the Gold Boards so close yet untouched still felt like a missed opportunity.

Meanwhile, the camera panned back to the other participants.

Seeing Big White and Lily opt out of the trial, many felt a wave of relief.

Two fewer competitors meant better odds for everyone else.

"Well, if you’re not interested, I’ll go first," Reed said, stepping onto the staircase.

The moment his foot landed on the first step, he felt an immense pressure.

Though Reed’s strength was nearly at the God King level, honed through rigorous training in House La.’s secret realms, the pressure from the staircase still caught him off guard.

After pausing to adjust, he continued upward, taking two steps in quick succession.

Seeing this, the other competitors felt a surge of competitive spirit and began ascending as well.

Although Reed had the advantage of being first, the other prodigies from top factions were no pushovers. They closed in on him quickly.

Initially, the crowd had anticipated an intense battle on the arena floor. Instead, the final trial had turned into a race up the staircase. Experience more tales on novelbuddy

"Well, it’s still interesting, I suppose," Greenwood God King remarked quietly.

"It’s a shame your daughter and that Crossbridge Academy guy opted out. It would’ve made things even more exciting."
