Players complained that this NPC killed people without blinking an eye

Watching Heka's phantom disappear like ashes, the Trial Spirit took a deep breath and sighed:

"Although I had guessed this day would come, I didn't expect it to happen so soon."

"It's even shorter than I expected."

"Congratulations on becoming the top guardian, Gu Yeming."

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it towards the air.

However, the expected situation did not occur. The Trial Spirit was stunned, looking at Gu Yeming in confusion, muttering to himself:

"what?"

"Your peak token...why can't I summon it?"

After all his injuries were healed, Gu Yeming walked to the front of the Spirit of Trial. He heard the other party muttering to himself, and his brows raised. Then he remembered that he had swallowed the Peak Token not long ago, and it had completely become his private property.

He summoned the Peak Token and threw it to the other party.

After the Spirit of Trial received it, it carefully sensed the ins and outs of it.

However, what he didn't expect was that the token in his hand no longer had any authority at all, and it could be said that he was completely out of the control of "power".

"Did you do this?" He looked up and down at Gu Yeming in surprise, completely unaware when the other party had severed the connection with the Peak Token.

"Yes." Gu Yeming nodded, summoned the Blood Refining Certificate from his backpack, and handed it to the Trial Spirit:

"I know what you want to do. Upgrade it to the pinnacle certificate."

"Okay." The Spirit of Trial nodded in response. He floated the Blood Refining Certificate in the air. The next second, scarlet light spots appeared out of thin air and quickly gathered in the Blood Refining Certificate.

The moment he put on the peak certificate, a force rose up in Gu Yeming's body. He clenched his fists, and after he had completely adapted, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The overall combat power has increased by several points.

The strength assessment has also grown to world-class+.

Of course these are not the point.

The thought flashed through his mind, and Gu Yeming didn't waste any time. He asked directly:

"Now that I've become the top guardian... then the corresponding questions should be answered one by one, right?"

"Of course." The Trial Spirit smiled and nodded:

"It's just that—before I answer your question, I need to take you somewhere."

As if realizing that his words could be misunderstood, the Trial Spirit quickly waved his hand to explain:

"Ahem, I don't mean to default on my debt."

"A dozen former top-level defenders like you are waiting there. They are the dozen or so peak-level experts I mentioned before who are planning a great cause with me."

"Since they are all going to answer your questions, they need to be present."

Without waiting for Gu Yeming's response, he raised his hand and waved it. The next second, the whole scene changed rapidly as if the stars had moved.

The original duel field has disappeared, replaced by a vast starry sky, with the stars shining brightly around it, which is particularly spectacular.

At this moment, the two of them were standing in the void. In the distance, there was a large platform with tables, chairs and human figures looming above it.

"Let's talk while we walk." The Spirit of Trial took the lead and walked towards the stage, and Gu Yeming followed closely behind.

"Gu Xiaoyou, what do you think our world is like?"

He asked this question as he walked.

Gu Yeming did not say anything, and at the same time hid his inner thoughts one by one to prevent the Spirit of Trial from seeing them. He just walked on his own, waiting for what was to come.

Seeing that Gu Yeming did not respond, the Trial Spirit did not say anything, but just smiled lightly and answered:

"I suppose you've heard the remarks of that young man in white before?"

"From a broader perspective, the planes and even the countless other planes of existence; from a smaller perspective, races, creatures, or even the most ordinary soil—all of these are false."

"Now I can tell you very clearly... his words are true."

"I know this truth is very cruel to you, but you must cheer up. You are now one of the strongest people in the world. Don't—"

As he spoke, he looked at Gu Yeming's reaction, but this one look made him stunned for a moment and his voice stopped abruptly.

When normal people hear such statements and see them confirmed, they will definitely have various reactions:

Anger, loneliness, sadness, doubt, confusion, all kinds of emotions can be shown on someone's face, and everyone's reactions are different.

But what about Gu Yeming?

His expression hadn't changed at all from beginning to end, his eyes were calm as water, he looked straight ahead, and walked forward slowly, as if he—

I knew it from the beginning.
