Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor

Chapter 941 204: Noble Spirit

Upon hearing Presto mention the Dimensional Trials, Lin Rui became interested and asked, "Have you participated in the Dimensional Trials? Tell me about it."

Presto noticed Lin Rui's interest and promptly began to introduce it enthusiastically, to prove his worth: "Dimensional Trials? No strong individuals from any plane can escape it. It differs from Plane Wars; if you really don't want to fight in the Wars, you can hide away. But with the Dimensional Trials, forced recruitment is mandatory, and without extremely special means, one cannot resist."

"Luckily, the Dimensional Trials are not as frequent as Plane Wars. Our plane is currently at the upper tier of the Extraordinary Tier, so under ordinary circumstances, it participates in Dimensional Trials only once every thousand years."

Lin Rui immediately caught the key point and asked, "Upper tier of the Extraordinary Tier? Is the Plane War a tiered confrontation? Not a chaotic battle across Heavens and Myriads of Realms?"

Presto nodded his large head vigorously and replied, "Yes. The Heavens and Myriads of Realms are indeed too vast. The disparity in strength is even as different as night and day. Take the Empress, for example; if she were on the same battlefield with others, it would be doomsday for the others. With a single word from her, she could instantly wipe out all enemy units in the battlefield. How can one possibly fight?"

"So, the Heavens and Myriads of Realms are classified into tiers. The Extraordinary Tier is above the mortal world. But it's not necessarily a good thing, because the mortal stage doesn't need to participate in the Dimensional Trials. However, the Extraordinary Tier is the weakest in the Heavens and Myriads of Realms, so they need to wage wars frequently. The lower the ranking, the more intense the changes in ranking, requiring more frequent battles. The lower stage requires participation once every hundred years, the middle stage every five hundred years, and the upper stage every thousand years. It is said that for the top-tier planes, almost no one can threaten their position. They might not need to participate once in tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years."

Lin Rui gained some understanding of Plane Wars immediately and then asked, "How dangerous is it?"

Presto quickly shook his head and said, "Lord, you overestimate me. Even with my current strength, I am nothing but a tiny shrimp that could be easily crushed in the battlefield of Dimensional Trials. During the trials I participated in, I was cannon fodder among nameless soldiers. Managing to survive was my biggest achievement. How could I know the level of danger? To me then, it was full of life-threatening hazards."

"But if you think optimistically, finding a place to hide is also possible. Anyway, I'm not sure what the exact requirements inside are. At the final settlement, because I managed to survive for quite a while and luckily eliminated a solitary Witch Demon, the rewards were incredibly plentiful. This Legendary Potion recipe was one of the rewards."

This way, Lin Rui had grasped an initial impression.

Previously, he thought it quite shocking and unbelievable that Presto obtained a Legendary Potion recipe in the Plane Wars, but compared to the Elf's Hero King, his reward was hardly worth mentioning.

After all, the Hero King obtained a Mythical Artifact directly.

Though Presto lingered throughout the event, he did survive from start to finish, and his survival points added a little to the plane's ranking.

Being able to survive is also a skill, and the continuity of any civilization is key.

A thousand-year Plane War—many civilizations and planes might self-destruct before participating in the Dimensional Trials.

Even a nation with a history of five thousand years only has the chance to participate five times.

As for civilizations existing for mere hundreds of years, they don't even qualify to participate.

A thousand years is enough for several generations of Divine Spirits to change.

Faith Wars result in countless believers and Divine Spirits disappearing into the river of time, like the famed Fire Cult, which gradually faded away replaced by the Prophet.

Historically Significant is forever one of the most important foundations for any civilization or power.

While Lin Rui was pondering, Presto had already flown him outside Golden Pansy Manor. He did not fly fast, mainly fearing that the enormous sound waves would lift the territory up, causing countless people to jump out of bed at midnight and curse him.

With dozens of Mach speed, if accelerated over the territory, the roaring thunderous sound would be earth-shaking, waking even the deepest sleepers.

He didn't mind waking ordinary citizens, but if it woke the Empress, he feared a group of Knights would chase him to slay the dragon.

After safely delivering Lin Rui back to the manor, he immediately said, "Lord, I will now return to my palace and bring over my maids, pets, dragon eggs, and dragon brides."

Lin Rui waved him off and then returned to his room.

Audrey had already completed decorating the room. The house was filled with the faint fragrance of young girls, and the lamp light was pink and ambiguous, creating a romantic atmosphere.

Upon opening the door, Lin Rui saw Silver Moon dressed in a maid outfit, holding a towel standing aside.

This Little Werewolf wore a black maid outfit and had fluffy animal ears atop her head, making her abundantly cute and tempting.

Inside the room was the sound of rushing water, along with the teasing and coquettish voices of the young girls, stirring one's heart.

Seeing Lin Rui enter, Silver Moon immediately closed the door and then helped Lin Rui take off his coat, hanging it on the rack. By the rack was already a dazzling display of two rows of dresses, from off-shoulder dresses to Lolita-style outfits, from pure silk nightgowns to mature hip-hugging skirts, simply everything you could think of.
