Chapter 688: The “Original” is the young man in white
"what happened?"
Gu Yeming asked the question even though he knew the answer. He smiled at the Spirit of Trial and walked forward first.
The Spirit of Trial stood there for a few seconds, staring at Gu Yeming's back. For the first time, he felt that the other party was so mysterious.
He thought he had completely seen through Gu Yeming, but it was not until now that he realized that what he had seen before was just the tip of the iceberg.
After a while, Gu Yeming arrived in front of the stairs. He walked up to the platform and what caught his eye was the crystal round table located in the center.
And the figure sitting on the edge of the crystal round table——
Surprisingly, more than half of them were unknown human figures transformed into crystal.
Ok?
Seeing such a strange scene, Gu Yeming frowned slightly and became very alert.
Just as he was on guard, a rough voice came from the other side of the round table:
"Are you the top guardian this time?"
Hearing this, Gu Yeming looked in the direction of the voice and saw an extremely burly figure sitting on a crystal chair.
His shoulders were wider than two ordinary people's, his deltoid muscles bulged like hills, and the blood vessels in his arms were like red steel cables wrapped around each other, beating with every breath.
His hands were as big as palm-leaf fans, his knuckles as thick as a child's arms, his palms were covered with thick calluses, and the skin on his fists was iron-black from years of pounding on hard objects, with a faint metallic luster.
His neck was short and thick, his Adam's apple rolled like an iron ball, his chin was covered with messy stubble like steel needles, his face was angular, his brow bones were as high as rocks, his pair of big copper bell eyes were embedded in the shadows, his pupils were a cloudy red, his nose was obviously broken several times and tilted to one side, his lips were thick and cracked.
Obviously, this person is the Fist Destroyer Heka himself, not the previous Heka phantom.
Heka looked Gu Yeming up and down, stroking his chin, as if wondering how the man in front of him defeated his phantom.
"It seems that you are all very punctual." The Spirit of Trial slowly floated up and finally landed beside Gu Yeming.
"What are those crystals?" Gu Yeming asked first. He had some vague guesses about those human-shaped crystals, but he was not sure.
"As you can see, but I'm sure you've guessed it." The Trial Spirit glanced at the various human-shaped crystals. He sighed, his eyes filled with uncontrollable loneliness.
"Those seated at the crystal round table are all the guardians of the top floors of the Peak Tower throughout the ages."
"Those humanoid crystals are naturally among them, but... they have already died."
"This crystal round table has a special ability. It can transform corpses into crystals that will never disappear. In other words... these human-shaped crystals are all corpses."
"Died of old age..." Gu Yeming's eyes swept across the multiple human-shaped crystals one by one. He muttered to himself, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"These elders were once one of us." Heka also explained:
"I guess you were deceived by the old man who was in charge of the trial. He said there were more than a dozen peak masters here."
"Hmm...it's not really a lie. There are indeed more than a dozen peak-level experts here, but more than half of them have become corpses."
"There are only six of you left, including you."
Heka said as he pointed at the other four people sitting beside him.
Gu Yeming looked up and saw that the other four strong men except Heka all nodded as a response.
"Long time no see, everyone." The Spirit of Trial sighed, and he pulled open the crystal chair and made a gesture of invitation to Gu Yeming:
"Please come in, our new top-level guardian. This will be your seat from now on."
Gu Yeming did not sit down immediately. He first used the reconnaissance skill on the crystal chair. After confirming that there was no problem, he sat down with peace of mind.
"I was the top guardian last time, so I know the phantom of the top guardian was based on me. I'm curious, how did you defeat him?" As Gu Yeming took his seat, Heka also said to him curiously:
"But that's nonsense. We still have a long way to go. It's not our turn to die. There will always be a day when we two can compete with each other."
Having said this, he paused and asked the Spirit of Trial:
"Old Trial Master, I remember when I first became a top-level guardian, I didn't have this kind of treatment with all the personnel in place."
"You've gathered us all together. I suppose you have something important to say?"
"Of course." The Trial Spirit did not take a seat. He stood on the platform, gazing at the starry sky above his head, and responded:
"He has already made a move. I'm sure you guys know that, right?"
Hearing this, Heka and the other four masters looked at each other, then nodded heavily:
"You're talking about... that young man in white, right?"
After hearing the four words from the young man in white, Gu Yeming looked at the back of the Spirit of Trial. The real business had finally arrived.
"Of course." The Trial Spirit responded, then turned around, glanced at the people seated, and then slowly said:
"After such a long time...he finally couldn't hold it back any longer."
"But it's true. Time waits for no one. If we keep waiting like this, the whole world will collapse sooner or later."
Gu Yeming was puzzled as he listened to the conversation between the people in front of him. He stared at the Spirit of Trial and gestured for him to explain.
The Trial Spirit noticed Gu Yeming's gaze, he smiled, and then began to explain:
"I remember the question you asked in the consciousness space. Now that you have become the top guardian, I can answer you now—"
"Contrary to the outside world's speculation that he suddenly appeared, this young man in white was not born suddenly, but has existed in this world for a long time."
"At that time, he even had a specific nickname—"
"Original."
Having said that, the Spirit of Trial deliberately paused, wanting to observe Gu Yeming's reaction. However, to his disappointment, Gu Yeming's expression was calm, without any ripples at all, as if the other party had known this inside story for a long time.
In fact, Gu Yeming had guessed this as early as when he checked Auglidu's memory.
The clothing style of "Original" is very similar to that of the young man in white. Of course, this cannot be used as evidence for inference. The main factor that made Gu Yeming have this idea was the scene of his confrontation with "Original" in Augustus' memory.
At the beginning, "Original" clearly stated that he would definitely do something in the future that would affect the entire domain and even other dimensions.
The incident involving the young man in white is very similar to this one, and it is indeed something that is enough to affect the entire domain and even other dimensions.
The words of the Trial Spirit also fully proved this point—
"Original" is the young man in white today.
