Chapter 622 The Final Trial Begins

After the guards took Wang Luo away, the group of people, filled with mixed feelings, slowly dispersed and left.

Su Yi walked alone up the small hill outside Zhuqing Village, admiring the sunset on the horizon, and said, "Darkrai, thank you again this time. Why don't you reconsider my invitation?"

The shadow behind Su Yi gradually lengthened, and then slowly rose from the ground.

Darkrai emerged from the shadows, shaking his head. "This small favor is nothing to mention. As for your invitation... I'm used to being alone."

As it spoke, it waved to its shadow, and the verdant dawn slowly rose from the shadows.

"I've retrieved your dropped weapon for you. Here you go."

Su Yi gripped the sword hilt, slung it behind his back, and said, "So-called habits might just be something we have to do out of necessity, but perhaps you'd prefer a more lively atmosphere?"

"As for the nightmares... I think there will always be a way."

Darkrai closed his eyes, as if deep in thought.

After a long while, it opened its deep blue eyes and said wistfully, "No, perhaps I'll want a place to rest when I'm tired of wandering..."

It looked into Su Yi's eyes and said, "You said you came from the future, right?"

"Then let's make a promise. If we meet again in the future, and my heart is still not at peace, then I will travel with you to a place outside of Xicui."

Su Yi sighed, but then a relieved smile appeared on his face as he said, "Is this promise romantic, or melancholic...?"

"However, since that's the case, then it's a deal!"

As Su Yi spoke, he extended his fist toward Darkrai.

"..."

Darkrai paused, then clenched his fist and bumped into it.

Then it turned into a shadow and disappeared into the distance under the setting sun.

"See you in the future."

Su Yi kept watching the shadow until it disappeared into the vast Obsidian Plain.

……

Since Su Yi explained that he would return to his original time and space after completing the final trial, the atmosphere in the Galaxy Team has become somewhat somber.

After several days of recuperation and making final preparations, Su Yi set off for the temple on Tianguan Mountain.

"Why are you all here?"

Looking at the crowd gathered outside the temple, Su Yi was both amused and exasperated.

A large group of people filled the area outside the temple.

Gangshi laughed and said, "Of course we're here to witness the legend, otherwise who will pass this story on?"

Zhubei nodded and said, "No matter what, we will stay with you until the end."

Xingyue stepped forward with a serious expression and said, "I don't know what the final trial will be, but I hope you will return safely."

Su Yi said half-jokingly, "I will. Surely Arceus won't kill me."

Xiao Zhao, however, suggested seriously, "If it really doesn't work out, just quit. Is this trial absolutely necessary?"

Su Yi shook his head, his eyes resolute, and said, "We've already come this far, a hero can't desert his post!"

Huo Xia, standing to the side, chuckled and teased, "Now you're calling yourself a hero? You said it yourself back then..."

Huo Xia's expression suddenly turned serious, and mimicking Su Yi's tone, he said in a deep voice, "When you want to become a hero, you've already lost your right!"

Haha! You still remember!

Su Yi was immediately amused and burst into laughter.

Bei Shang, standing at the back, adjusted his hat brim and said in a low voice, "Heroes aren't self-proclaimed, but recognized by everyone. The people who have come here today already prove everything..."

After Huo Xia's teasing, the tense atmosphere eased slightly, and everyone offered their blessings.

"Well, I'm off!"

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Su Yi took a deep breath and walked step by step toward the altar of the temple.

Footsteps and the clanging of armor echoed through the temple. Under everyone's watchful eyes, Su Yi took out seventeen stone tablets.

hum!
The stone slab floated up, emitting colorful light, and the Divine Flute at Su Yi's waist flew out, transforming into the Celestial Flute in the light.

Su Yi picked up the flute and began to play a unique melody.

The melodious sound of a flute echoed across the mountain peaks. Suddenly, holy light descended from the sky, and staircases made of light appeared before Su Yi.

Su Yi put away his flute, turned around and nodded to the people behind him before stepping onto the stairs.

Everyone's eyes followed Su Yi's figure until the light in the sky completely obscured him.

……

After climbing the Stairway of Light for an unknown amount of time, a huge platform with strange patterns appeared before Su Yi's eyes.

The sky above was no longer blue sky, white clouds, and the sun, but an endless starry sky.

Su Yi walked to the center of the platform, looked around, and said, "Arzetus, I'm here!"

"I have been waiting for you."

Su Yi turned around at the sound and saw that Arceus had appeared there at some point.

“You’ve done very well along the way, from a human perspective.”

"But whether you have truly grown and become aware of this, you'll only know by trying."

"And as your trial, it can only be completed by you alone."

Arceus floated slightly, radiating a majestic light.

The Poké Ball and the Hunting Guide at Su Yi's waist were both sealed by golden chains.

"I'm ready!"

Feeling the indescribable pressure, Su Yi took a deep breath and solemnly pulled out the emerald dawn.

"Then, the trial begins!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Arceus flew into the sky, and countless meteors carrying destructive power crashed down.

Su Yi's eyes widened in surprise, and he immediately hoisted his greatsword to dodge.

Boom boom boom...!
The continuous barrage of meteorites bombarded the area for nearly ten seconds.

A slightly disheveled figure burst out of the dust, and Su Yi's Heavenly Comet Dragon Armor glowed red, indicating that the dragon energy had been activated.

Although he avoided the direct bombardment, the shockwaves from the explosions continued to bombard his body, causing considerable damage.

Arceus immediately gave him a strong warning.

Swish!
Su Yi moved with lightning speed, carrying a heavy greatsword as he approached Arceus and swung his sword horizontally.

Whoosh!
A white figure flashed, and Arceus swiftly dodged the slash.

"Lightning speed? Or a flash of lightning?"

Su Yi quickly turned around, raised the verdant Dawn high, and the azure waveguide soared into the sky, shining brightly under the starry sky.

"This power is unparalleled in human history."

Arceus admired the brilliance of the waveguide and said with a slightly appreciative tone, "Not bad, you have shown me this possibility, which has aroused my interest."

"but……"

As the blade of light fell, Arceus calmly said, "Do you intend to use a sword imbued with my power against me?"
