Late at night.
Inside a room in the Snow Empress's palace in the Extreme North Land.
Jin Mian, having finished his day's cultivation, was currently sleeping on an ice bed.
Since the last time he helped that Ice Plains Giant Wolf successfully pass its great tribulation and promote to a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast.
The Snow Empress's opinion of him had changed significantly.
Putting aside everything else.
Her level of trust alone had skyrocketed.
Not only did she expand his range of movement to the entire Extreme North Land.
But she also gave him the ice extreme divine crystals from their deal in advance.
Furthermore, she promised.
That if the Ice Empress safely passed her four hundred thousand year tribulation, she would provide another hundred ice extreme divine crystals.
However, the Ice Empress's great tribulation would probably not begin for another three months or so.
During this time.
Since he was idle anyway.
Jin Mian dragged the Ice Empress along to be his sparring partner.
Initially, the Ice Empress was quite disdainful, thinking that no matter how powerful a human under twenty years old was, how could he possibly be a match for a three hundred thousand year Great Beast like herself?
But after exchanging a few blows, she instantly realized something was wrong.
Good heavens.
No wonder Xiao Bai hadn't been able to take this guy down for so long.
It turned out he really did have some skill.
At full power, he could actually fight her to a forty-sixty split.
And so, during this period.
Jin Mian cultivated normally under the Ice Empress's guidance as a sparring partner in the morning.
In the afternoon, he practiced his forging techniques.
Before bed, he would design the appearance of his Battle Armor and estimate the required amounts of the five attributes.
At this moment.
Jin Mian was sleeping soundly.
Unexpectedly.
The next second.
A strange energy entered his body.
Jin Mian's consciousness was pulled into a peculiar space.
Before he could even be confused.
He saw a mysterious person wearing a large purple cloak, with most of his face obscured.
Revealing a slightly wretched smile, the figure asked, "Young man, do you want to become the next God of Destruction?"
"Whoa! A ghost!" Jin Mian subconsciously took two steps back.
Hearing these words.
The God of Destruction was clearly stunned for a moment.
He said irritably, "What are you talking about! Who's a ghost?"
After saying that.
The God of Destruction pulled back the hood of his cloak.
Revealing a handsome face that was completely inconsistent with his apparent age.
Jin Mian took a look.
Good heavens.
This person's looks were on par with his own.
Soon, he reacted.
What did this person just say?
He asked if I was interested in becoming the next God of Destruction.
In other words, this person is the original God of Destruction!
Jin Mian instantly guessed the other's identity.
The God of Destruction, seeing that Jin Mian remained silent for a long time.
Thought he was intimidated, so he introduced himself, "Young man, listen well. The one standing before you is none other than one of the Five Great Supreme Gods of the God Realm, in charge of..."
Before he could finish his grand display.
Jin Mian interrupted directly, "I know, you're the God of Destruction."
"Uh..." The God of Destruction saw that the other party actually knew who he was.
For a moment, he felt a bit awkward.
After coughing twice, he feigned composure. "Cough, cough. I didn't expect you to know of my existence. You must have heard of my legends."
"Never heard of them."
"However, I do happen to have a trace of the Power of Destruction on me."
"Could it be that you didn't sense it?"
"And aren't you curious about where my Power of Destruction came from?"
Jin Mian said nonchalantly.
The God of Destruction was speechless.
Couldn't this kid give him some face?
But thinking that he had to trick this kid into becoming his successor.
He endured it.
He then said, "I'm not curious. I don't care where it came from. I'll just ask you one thing: are you interested in becoming the next God of Destruction?"
"Yes! Give it to me!" Jin Mian reached out his hand without a hint of hesitation.
This thick-skinned behavior.
Left the God of Destruction completely dumbfounded.
He said irritably, "What are you thinking? To obtain my God Position, you must pass extremely strict Godly Trials!"
"Oh, is that so? Then I don't want it anymore."
"Anyway, my second Martial Soul is also God-level, and it's very powerful."
"When the time comes, I'll just create my own God Position."
Jin Mian's words made the God of Destruction's eyes widen.
No, why isn't this kid playing by the script?
According to the normal plot.
Shouldn't he be fired up after hearing about the Godly Trials, determined to become a god and resolve to pass through countless hardships to prove himself?
But this kid? One moment he said he wanted it, and the next moment he changed his mind just like that.
Jin Mian added, "Since there's nothing else, please leave."
Seeing the guest was showing him the door.
The God of Destruction forced a smile and said in a gentle tone, "Oh, don't be angry. I was just joking with you. My Godly Trials are actually very simple, not difficult at all."
"Really?" Jin Mian was suspicious.
The God of Destruction nodded repeatedly. "Truer than true gold!"
Jin Mian pretended to be reluctant but finally decided, "Fine, since you seem so sincere, I'll believe you this once."
"Bestow the trials then."
The God of Destruction scratched his head.
For some reason.
He always felt something was not quite right.
But he couldn't put his finger on it.
It felt as if he was being led by the nose by the other party, and yet he still had to say thank you afterward.
Whatever, he didn't care anymore.
The sooner the trials were bestowed, the sooner they would be over.
Once this kid became a god, he could retire honorably and take Little Green to travel the universe.
Immediately.
The God of Destruction's entire body emitted destruction energy.
His white hair instantly turned dark red.
His eyes flashed with a red light.
Behind him, a nine-ringed purple-black light wheel radiated powerful divine force.
With a wave of the God of Destruction's hands, streaks of dark purple light surged into Jin Mian's body.
Finally, they converged between his eyebrows.
After bestowing the trials, the God of Destruction introduced them. "Jin Mian, listen well. My trials are called the Nine Trials of Destruction! By passing these nine trials, you can become the new generation God of Destruction!"
"Now, I will release the content of the first trial."
"The first trial is named: Guide of Destruction!"
"Within two years, you must raise your level to the Titled Douluo rank!"
"Mission Reward: 10% Destruction God affinity! All Soul Ring ages increased by 10,000 years!"
"If you complete it earlier, the rewards will stack."
"That's all. I'm leaving now."
"Once you complete the first trial, I will descend again."
Since the God King of Destruction, unlike the Asura God, Sea God, and Angel God, did not have his own inheritance site in the mortal world.
He could only handle everything personally.
After finishing his explanation of the trial's content, he vanished.
As the God of Destruction departed.
Jin Mian also woke up from his slumber.
Thinking that everything that had just happened was a dream.
He covered his forehead and thought, "Am I still half-asleep? I actually dreamed that I accepted the Nine Trials of Destruction."
But in the next second.
A purple light flashed from between his eyebrows.
Jin Mian hurriedly took out a mirror to examine himself.
He saw that between his eyebrows, a purple scepter mark had actually appeared.
"So that wasn't a dream. I really did accept the Nine Trials of Destruction."
"What was the content of the first trial again?"
"Raising my cultivation to the Titled Douluo rank within two years."
"This task might be slightly difficult for others, but for me, it's actually quite simple."
Jin Mian smiled confidently.
After all, he was already an eighty-fourth level Spirit Douluo...
