Chapter 805: Please, Enter the Urn

Chen Ling walked straight to the console and looked closely.

Although he was close at hand, his reflection didn't appear in those mirrors. Instead, they were like some kind of peeping mirrors, reflecting the appearance of corridors, rooms, or rooms full of mechanisms, very much like a surveillance room in a TV show.

Here, one could see every corner of this "Dark Palace."

And on the console, there was currently a metal object resembling a compass, with a large number of small, exquisite metal sliders. There seemed to be some kind of mechanism inside. Although it wasn't large, it was incredibly heavy in his hand.

"The control panel..." Chen Ling looked at the disk curiously and casually moved a slider.

At the same time, some of the gears and power rods that had been stationary around him began to rotate with a roar, as if something was operating in the "Dark Palace"!

Chen Ling heard a strange noise coming from outside and immediately walked to the central circular hall. He saw something rising rapidly in the deep "elevator shaft" leading to the ground!

Clang—!!

With a loud noise, a gorgeous display stand rose from the ground and hovered steadily in the center!

Chen Ling saw the thing on the display stand, and a flash of surprise crossed his eyes.

"This is..."

On the display stand was a crystal-clear glass ball, inside which a star seemed to be frozen, shining silently... And directly in front of the display stand, a string of text was engraved:

[Privilege]—When the final three-hour countdown begins, the possessor of this privilege can designate a landing spot for a [Heaven-Reaching Star Position] at any location.

Chen Ling's eyebrows raised slightly.

He reached out and took the glass ball, playing with it carefully in his palm, as casually as if he were examining an ordinary toy.

"This privilege is not bad."

According to the original rules, after the countdown entered the final three hours, seven thrones representing the [Heaven-Reaching Star Position] would randomly land at various locations in the Old District, triggering the final slaughter... And possessing this privilege was equivalent to mastering the initiative of one of the seats, letting it come to find you, turning the slaughter into a home-field "defense."

And now, this [Privilege] had fallen into Chen Ling's hands without anyone knowing.

Chen Ling put away the glass ball, looked around, and casually placed his hand on a corner of the display stand. Strands of electric light began to wander on its surface!

[Reshape]!

A few seconds later, a round, gray, and dull stone ball appeared in his palm... And an inconspicuous corner of the display stand was also missing a piece.

"From now on, you are the 'Privilege' that they will fight to the death to obtain."

A smile curled at the corner of Chen Ling's mouth. He placed this ugly stone ball back on the display stand, then swiped his fingertip on the control panel, and the entire display stand sank back into the ground!

After that, Chen Ling took the control panel and walked behind the six pitch-black arched gates.

Chen Ling had discovered that the entire "Dark Palace" was a huge mechanism secret room, and the [Privilege] was something hidden deep in this mechanism secret room... These six arched gates, which were the Six Palaces of Clever Springs mentioned by No. 17, each represented different levels and dangers behind them.

Even Chen Ling, holding the control panel and playing the real cracked version, couldn't help but be impressed by some of the insidious and unique designs.

Six Palaces of Clever Springs, six arched gates; no matter how many people entered, in the end, only six people could come out alive...

But there was only one [Privilege].

And it was fake.

From the moment Chen Ling got the control panel, this "Dark Palace" was destined to become a meat grinder full of blood and rain, an abyss mouth destined to have no way out.

Who lives, who dies, who is covered in wounds...

The person standing behind the scenes has the final say.

After walking through the Six Palaces of Clever Springs, Chen Ling returned to the circular hall unhurriedly. His fingertips flowed skillfully on the control panel, restoring all the mechanisms in the "Dark Palace"!

The flames on the walls went out one after another, darkness swallowed the underground bit by bit, and finally, it fell into cold pitch-black.

Chen Ling took out a sticky note from his bosom. The trajectory of fate began to be woven on it, and lines of text were like an invisible net, beginning to gather all the surrounding participants near the "Dark Palace"!

In the darkness, Chen Ling's eyes narrowed slightly:

"...Please, enter the urn."

……

Old District, ground.

Two thin figures walked slowly on the barren land.

"It's dawn... and this 'Dark Palace' still hasn't been found." Fudi frowned and spoke. "Could it have been snatched by someone else?"

"No, the manual says that the birth of the 'Dark Palace' will be announced to the whole district. There's no sign of it yet, which means the 'Dark Palace' hasn't been discovered by anyone."

"But we've almost walked through all the surrounding blocks, and we still haven't found the entrance. How long is this going to take?"

"...There's still a long time before the final competition starts, let's keep looking."

Tu Tian and Fudi closed their eyes at the same time.

One seemed to be listening to the sound of the wind, the other seemed to be sensing the breath of the earth. They were like two statues, standing still in place...

In the streets in the distance, several pairs of eyes were silently staring in their direction.

There were many members of official organizations from the five major domains participating in this [Heaven-Reaching Star Position] competition. They had perfect intelligence on each other; everyone knew which domain and which organization had prodigies, and what their abilities were.

And [Tu Tian] and [Fudi] from the Dragon-Twisting Warriors were undoubtedly the most likely to find the location of the "Dark Palace" among those present, so they naturally attracted some people's tracking and attention. After all, no one wanted to miss the [Privilege].

"Are these two guys capable? We've been following them for several hours, why haven't they found the entrance to the 'Dark Palace' yet?"

"I don't know... We've almost walked from the east of the city to the west."

"Speak lower, be careful they hear us here."

"Hmph, do you think they can't perceive us?"

"So what if they perceive us? We are all elites of various divine paths, and our strength is no weaker than theirs. If they really want to fight, let's have a contest in advance."

"It's agreed, before finding the 'Dark Palace', we won't attack each other, otherwise we'll settle scores after we get out!"

"Fine, fine, got it..."

“……”

The whispers of the crowd in the distance were carried to Tu Tian's ears by the breeze. He acted as if he hadn't heard them and continued to focus on finding the entrance to the "Dark Palace."

Just then, a fallen leaf drifted in the wind, swaying and flying silently in a certain direction;

Sensing the sudden change in wind direction, Tu Tian's heart moved. After opening his eyes, he looked in a certain direction...
