613: choose
Because it was the final stage, this change didn't surprise Chen Du; in fact, he found it quite normal.
At this moment, above the two doors in front of him, there was a line of text on each.
Left Door: Immediately leave this place (Obtain a random trait)
Right Door: Obtain the eternal heart (The eternal heart is an ultimate resource, the only one in the world, and possesses the nature of a Legacy. It requires one year to complete the Fusion within the body.)
After Chen Du saw the words above the two doors, a one-hour countdown appeared in the middle at the top.
00:59:59 (Challenger, please make a choice within one hour, otherwise you will automatically enter the left door and leave)
(Note: Forced departure will not yield any rewards)
Chen Du carefully observed the floating text in front of him.
The reward for the final stage was indeed different, but in a sense, it was still the same pattern as the original 1, 2, and 3.
First, 1 is to leave; both of these two doors allow leaving.
Of course, you can also leave without choosing, but no one would do that.
2 is a fixed reward, equivalent to the reward of the right door.
3 is a completely random reward, which here has become a random trait reward. Isn't that random!
Traits are indeed good things, just like the Boundless Lifespan trait Chen Du obtained through the Eternal Tree's sap. Any ability to weaken lifespan from an enemy would be ineffective against him.
To some extent, it was a self-serving exclusive rule.
But undoubtedly, the reward from the right door must be better!
The ultimate resource, the eternal heart, is the only one in the world. After the Qilin King, it has always been ownerless.
Of course, a large part of this reason is because it landed in this place.
Chen Du had wondered if the Qilin King, who discovered the truth of the Egg God, had launched an attack on it.
This guess was quite reasonable, as they had fought and won against Energy Lifeforms, so knowing the Egg God's secret was not strange.
Chen Du remembered that when Cao Daba's ability description was first unsealed, the first sentence was, 'Foolish Qilin King!' Unfortunately, it didn't say anything substantial afterward, and he didn't care about these relics of the old era at the time.
Now, this Egg God is clearly in a mutated or damaged state. What exactly happened back then, probably no one who knows the truth is left, otherwise the Third Ecological Circle would have been gone long ago.
Therefore, Chen Du did not dwell too much on this issue.
Choosing the right door sacrificed a year of time, but it brought greater potential!
From the previous battles, combat was only a part of the eternal heart's abilities. As for its other abilities, perhaps they were related to changing talent, which is why the Qilin King couldn't display them.
Chen Du didn't know how the Qilin King died back then, but he believed that if given more time, the Qilin King could have become a Starry Sky Warrior like the Black Dragon King.
An ultimate resource can make a Domain Warrior fight to the death. For something that is Unique and has the nature of a Legacy, Chen Du has reason to believe that the eternal heart possesses the potential to allow its binder to become a Starry Sky Warrior.
There were still more than 50 minutes left, but there was nothing to hesitate about.
Immediately, Chen Du stepped towards the right door.
The pattering footsteps grew slower and slower, eventually stopping.
Chen Du vaguely felt that something was wrong. This wrong feeling was not about any trap in the door in front of him.
It was something else.
“What is it, what exactly is wrong...”
Chen Du muttered to himself, falling into recollection, countless memories flashing through his mind like a revolving lantern.
He didn't need to think about things from a long time ago, only those from this year, because it hadn't even been a year since he participated in the Hongzhi Class assessment at Liangcheng No. 1 High School until now!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Countless images flashed through his mind, with laughter and tears, blood and tears, from the Surface to underground, then from underground to the Surface, and finally back underground again.
Suddenly.
An image of a short-haired, ordinary-looking man appeared in Chen Du's memory.
“Next time a choice appears, choose the left side.”
“Lin Xun...”
Chen Du silently recited the other party's name. He had only met this person once, but he gave him a feeling of trustworthiness.
“How is that possible...”
Chen Du thought of something and took two steps back, looking at the scene before him.
“Could it be that he saw the future?”
“No, he seemed to have mentioned the term 'historical trajectory.' If that's true, then he didn't 'see' it, but 'went' there!”
“He went to the future?”
He immediately shook his head, not wanting to dwell on this question. He could ask the other party about it next time he had the chance to meet him.
The only question now was, should he believe this statement from the other party?
Or, even if this statement was true, was its application scenario here?
Theoretically, it should be.
Following this premise, it would return to the previous question: should he believe it or not?
If he believed, he would randomly gain a trait. If he didn't, he would follow his initial idea and choose the right side.
Doing so would delay him by a year.
Or, to be precise, it wasn't a delay of a year, but rather being a year slower.
Assuming that nothing major would happen in the coming year and things would be similar to usual, but after getting out, Chen Du still had to go to Star Island and the Sword Arrives Plate.
All the time here would be pushed back by a year, and imperceptibly, variables would arise.
And Lin Xun's answer was that he would regret choosing the right side.
As for what he would regret, Chen Du didn't know. The only thing he could confirm was that choosing the right side would give him greater potential and the prospect of becoming a Starry Sky Warrior in the future.
But the cost was that anything he did afterward would be delayed by a year compared to the original plan.
“Which side to choose...”
“What if the choice Lin Xun mentioned isn't this current scenario? Wouldn't that be a massive loss?”
Chen Du clenched his left fist, rested it on his chin, and muttered to himself.
The time on his wristband had been frozen from the moment he entered; technology was completely useless here.
Hmm?
Chen Du looked at the lonely smart wristband on his left wrist, his eyes narrowing slightly as he noticed something.
“There was originally one more of those five power bars that looked the same. This thing normally disappears after a choice is made. Has it disappeared directly now because there are no more stages?
“In other words, another day has passed.”
After a few seconds of silence, Chen Du suddenly spoke, a hint of excitement in his voice:
“I've got it!”
“I have a perfect way to break this situation!”
