"Trial ground for the future generation of other races?"

"Yes!" The dragon-like demonic beast nodded its head and said: "The trial ground was set up in the primordial era for the future generation of other races because there was no one left in the Primordial Race. Even if one was left, just like High Level Demonic Beasts and Dragons, the people of the Primordial Race don't need to go through trials. Everything about their race is already in their inherited memories."

"The leftover people of Primordial Race don't want their entire race to disappear just like that, so they set up these trial grounds where people of different races could come and participate in the trials. There are many trials and some of the trials have a few stages. Every trial will give you some reward."

"Of course, every stage of the trial is extremely difficult to pass. Each one of them is extremely dangerous. There is a 75% probability of dying while taking the trial. But you have no choice, since you came here, you have to participate in the trial no matter what. If you choose not to participate, you'll become my food!"

Ye Xiao didn't give the demonic beast any reaction. He kept listening.

When the dragon-like demonic beast saw this, it nodded its head in satisfaction. Suddenly, a light enveloped its huge body as he transformed into the human's form.

Then he said, "I'm called Pygon. Don't be confused seeing me, I'm the only one of my type under the Heavens. There is not another creature like me in the entire Universe. The Primordial Race was researching on a unique egg of a demonic beast. They used the blood essence of a dragon on that egg. From that egg, I came out, and later, I became the guardian of the Primordial Race."

"Guardian of Primordial Race?"

Ye Xiao frowned and then raised his brows in surprise. If the creature in front of him was the Guardian of the Primordial Race, then exactly how powerful is it?

Pygon could understand what Ye Xiao was thinking in his heart. He said, "You don't have the qualification to know about my true self. Just know that right now, there is no one under the heavens who could be my match. I'm someone who survived the war of primordial era that shattered the entire Heavens, causing it to divide into three Realms, Lower, Upper, and Divine!"

As if someone gave a huge blow, Ye Xiao opened his eyes wide and looked at Pygon in surprise. It was the first time he heard something like this.

'So, the reason of the appearance of Lower, Upper, and Divine Realm is the war of primordial era!'

Ye Xiao took a deep breath. He looked at Pygon curiously, waiting for more information. Pygon continued to say, "This is not my true body, but only an incarnation of mine. My true body is at the home-world of the Primordial Race!"

"Now, pay attention and listen carefully, if you could pass all the trials set up by the Primordial Race, you might get the chance to become a person of Primordial Race and inherit all the abilities of the Primordial Race. It will be a lot better than your half-human half-dragon self!"

Ye Xiao understood that Pygon sensed the dragon's blood flowing within his body. Although the dragon's blood only appears when he transforms into a dragon, even so, Pygon was able to sense it. It could be seen how powerful Pygon was.

Well, there was no need for him to guess about the strength of Pygon. Pygon himself had said that there was no one under the Heavens as powerful as him right now.

What caught his attention was the fact that passing all the stages of the trial, he would get a chance to transform into a person of the primordial race and inherit all their abilities.

Just the ability to absorb the True Essence without even a need of circulating cultivation technique was enough to make him give it a try, let alone inheriting all the aspects of Primordial Race. Let's leave the matter of inheritance aside, after passing all the trials, he'll actually be able to become a person of Primordial Race.

Well, if he really becomes one, would he no longer be a human?

This was the question of another time. Right now, all Ye Xiao wanted was to give it a try.

Seeing the excitement in Ye Xiao's eyes, Pygon said, "There is no need to be so excited. Before you, there were hundreds of thousands of people throughout the years who came here and participated in the trial, but none of them were able to pass even the third trial, let alone passing all!"

"What? None of them were able to pass the third trial?" Ye Xiao asked in shock. If the third trial was so difficult that none of the people were able to pass, how difficult would it be to pass all the trials?

Pygon nodded his head, pointed his finger in a certain direction, and said, "Look at those skeletons over there. All of them failed the first trial and died tragically. Some of them were even Divine Lord Realm martial artists, but even they failed the first trial. You can think just how difficult it is to pass other trials!"

Ye Xiao nodded his head.

"So all those are skeletons of the people who failed the first trial!" Ye Xiao muttered in low voice looking at the golden skeletons.

From this, it could be seen the difficulty of the trial. Now, Ye Xiao did not want to participate, but he had to. After all, Pygon was not going to let him go without participating in the trial!

Pygon said, "In this land, you'll take the first trial. I'll tell you about the first trial now!"

Without taking a breath, Pygon continued to speak, "The first trial has three stages. The first stage is where you'll need to solve some riddles. The second stage will be the test of your willpower, and the third stage is where you'll have to fight against yourself!"

"Although it sounds easy and not life-threatening, you'll know how dangerous it is when you truly start your trial."

Ye Xiao frowned and muttered: "Fighting against myself? What does that mean?"

He looked at Pygon and saw that Pygon had no intention of answering him. He knew that he'll only find out about it after participating in the trial!

Thinking of something, Ye Xiao said, "I only have one question that I need you to answer!"

"Ask!"

"Do I have to participate in every trial continuously?"

"No!" Pygon shook his head and replied, "After passing the first trial, you'll be given the location of the second trial and the time period you'll need to reach there. You'll have to go to the location provided within the fixed period of time to participate in the second trial. If you were unable to reach that place whiting the given period of time, you'll die."

"Again!" Ye Xiao gritted his teeth when he heard this. This damn trial, it is really forcing others to participate and if not, then one will have to die. What kind of trial is this?

Ignoring Ye Xiao, Pygon continued to say, "The place where you are standing right now is only the location of the first trial. Even if you somehow went to the location of the second or third trial without participating in the first, you'll be teleported here directly."

Ye Xiao took a deep breath when he come to know this. He asked the previous question because it would have been impossible for him to continue participating in every trial continuously. After all, he was here to explore the Well Of Hell and will be teleported out in just two months of time. He also needed time to look for his master and other girls. He could not continue participating in each trial without break in between.

Looking at the golden skeletons, it was not surprising that they were here in the Upper Realm. They must have found the location of the second or third trial that might be on the Divine Realm. When they entered the corresponding location, they must have teleported here and died after failing the trial!

"Do you have any other questions?"

Ye Xiao nodded and asked, "Previously, you kept mentioning the Primordial Era. Can you tell me what is the Primordial Era?"

​ Pygon thought for a while, then took a deep breath and replied with some emotion in his voice, "There came many eras. The Heavens went under a huge change with each passing era. The era where the Primordial Race ruled over the entire Heavens was called the Primordial Era. After the destruction of the Primordial Era, the people of Ancient Race took over the role of ruling all three realms, thus starting the Ancient Era!"

"These two eras are the most ancient era. The Primordial Era was the first-ever era to appear after the birth of the Heavens!"
