#279 - Chapter 278: You've cleared the level already? Did you ride a rocket?
Rumble!
Magical runes swirled as a massive warship broke through the clouds, slowly descending from the sky.
Before the warship had even fully stopped, several figures leaped from it, transforming into streaks of light as they rapidly headed towards the World Temple.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
"Get the item out; we should still be able to see some footage."
The Grand Elder of the temple undoubtedly flew at the forefront, while the others followed behind him, constantly urging him on.
Their curiosity had reached its peak.
"The Elders are back."
"It seems the crisis in the Supreme Battlefield has indeed been resolved."
"Strange, why did Night Wanderer return first?"
"Who knows? I just wonder why the Elders are all so anxious; is something wrong?"
"It seems they want to see Night Wanderer's completion process, right?"
"Is that so? I want to see it too; he managed to escape while surrounded by the Anomalies. I wonder how strong he is now."
Watching the group march aggressively toward the inner hall, the others were surprised and curious, quickly making way and gathering towards the hall.
Thus, the once deserted hall became lively again.
"Move it, move it!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The three elders moved swiftly, retrieving the [Eye of Scrying].
Dense light bloomed, and this ancient artifact was revived once again after a short time.
"It's starting, it's starting."
A pitch-black continent appeared above the hall.
"Damn! Why is this scrying so clear this time? This is going to be a good show!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the Elders must have put in some effort. Otherwise, we could only see black dots in the level 50 battlefield. This time, we can directly see the picture."
"Awesome!"
Seeing the battlefield projection, the crowd erupted in an uproar.
The Eye of Scrying continued to probe forward, and soon, a massive corpse appeared before them.
"As expected, the first BOSS has already been killed."
The Grand Elder's eyes narrowed slightly, but he wasn't too surprised.
After all, it had been quite a while since they learned that Night Wanderer had entered the trial. Based on past efficiency, he probably hadn't just killed one BOSS by now; he might have even completed more than half of it.
The Grand Elder didn't dare delay and quickly manipulated the [Eye of Scrying] to continue deeper.
Everyone also stared intently at the projection, each one extremely focused.
No one noticed that on the other side, a slender figure quietly appeared.
"Huh?"
"Why is it so lively?"
Jiang Han glanced at the hall, somewhat surprised.
Then, he looked up at the sky and immediately got the answer.
"Well, they're broadcasting my completion process again."
"It looks like it's just starting."
Jiang Han didn't care too much. He looked around, quickly locked onto his target, and rushed towards the Grand Elder.
Soon, he arrived at the place where the three elders were.
He said lightly, "Elder, I'm here to receive the Heroic Radiance Stone."
"Don't make trouble."
The Grand Elder was currently focused on controlling the [Eye of Scrying] and waved his hand impatiently. "Didn't you see I'm busy? Claim your rewards later."
"What level are you to bother me? Heroic Radiance... Wait."
He suddenly reacted and turned his head abruptly. Then, his expression froze, his mouth slightly open, surprised and unsure of what to say.
The same surprise was shared by more than just him; the reactions of the others were no better.
When Night Wanderer spoke, they noticed him, and the more they looked, the more familiar he seemed!
The surroundings suddenly quieted down.
Even the [Eye of Scrying] stopped probing, the image frozen on a random spot on the dark land.
"Eh? Why isn't it moving?"
"Could this thing be broken? Or like last time, was it interfered with by some force, and now we can't see anything again?"
"What's going on?"
The people below talked amongst themselves, casting doubtful glances.
"Night... Night Wanderer?"
After a few seconds of dead silence, the Grand Elder finally recovered, stuttering slightly, "Aren't you... in the Abyss Trial?"
"I passed it."
Jiang Han shrugged. "There should be a record, right? Check it and you'll know."
"..."
The Grand Elder fell silent again, seemingly unable to process the information he had just received.
What do you mean "I passed it"?
How long has it been?
From the moment they received the news, the warship, which wasn't too far from the temple, had been running at full power at any cost, rushing back without stopping.
In such a short time, even an ordinary-level trial wouldn't have been completed, right?
And what about the result? I just took out the [Eye of Scrying], and you, like a ghost, appeared in front of me, asking for rewards?
Is this something a human would do?
"You... you young man."
"Really, ah, goodness, I just started the Eye of Scrying! What are you doing!"
The Grand Elder was speechless.
The number of times the Eye of Scrying could be used was limited, but this was good; another use was wasted directly.
They didn't even see a hair!
If the creator knew that such a precious item was being wasted like this, they would definitely jump out of their coffin.
"Well."
Jiang Han smiled, not taking it seriously. "It's not my fault that I completed it so quickly. Next time you want to use an item, let me know in advance."
"Next time?"
The Grand Elder's eyelids twitched.
Listen to that, is that human language?
It's like he doesn't think wasting one opportunity is enough and wants to do it again?
I'm a dog if I open this thing again!
The Grand Elder looked disgruntled, turned around to get the Heroic Radiance Stone.
He didn't bother to confirm the completion record anymore.
After all, the person was standing right in front of him, what was there to doubt?
They were already old acquaintances, okay!
Buzz!
Suddenly, the Grand Elder paused, then frowned, turned to look at Jiang Han,
"Come with me, the Divine Tree wants to see you."
"The Divine Tree?"
Jiang Han was a little surprised, "What does it want from me?"
"I don't know, but it's probably not a bad thing."
The Grand Elder said, "Perhaps it's related to the Anomaly Anchor point."
"That's right."
Jiang Han nodded.
The threat of the Anomalies wasn't just to humans, even the Divine Tree was paying close attention.
After all, two of the Realm Battlefields had already collapsed. It would be strange if the Divine Tree hadn't noticed this.
Soon, led by the Grand Elder, the two arrived at the room where the Divine Tree's phantom was located.
"Go in."
The Grand Elder didn't intend to go in. "I'll go get your reward items." With that, he turned and left.
Jiang Han pushed the door open and entered.
As before, in the center of the room, the Divine Tree's phantom floated, its branches swaying gently without wind.
"Hmm?"
Jiang Han raised an eyebrow, "Is it my imagination? Why do I feel like you've become a bit greener?"
