Chapter 252: This is the Charm of an A-level Prop, Changing the Future,
"Solar Star will officially open the twofold trial in three days, inviting all players to come for the viewing."
A post.
It quickly spread to the forums of every planet in the #3 Star System.
Almost all players knew that Solar Star would challenge the twofold trial, and their feelings were indeed mixed. They were both looking forward to Solar Star's successful passage and not looking forward to it.
The anticipation was because, in the future, they would certainly tread this path of the twofold trial. If there was one more successful planet ahead of them, they would feel more confident.
The reluctance stemmed from the fact that if Solar Star successfully passed the twofold trial, its overall strength would greatly increase, undoubtedly squeezing their living space.
If a planet failed in the twofold trial, its overall strength would be drastically reduced.
Take the God Race as a reference.
A race that failed the twofold trial went to Blue Star to establish their dominance and ended up annihilated.
And now,
another planet openly announced it would challenge the twofold trial, naturally attracting the attention of countless players.
...
"Currently there are just a few twofold trials."
"They are Heaven's Gate, Nine Linked Stars, Divine Spirit Kingdom, Waterfall Burial Sand Sea, and a newly added one, God of Slaughter."
In a conference room on Neutron Star.
President Sun looked at the wildly discussed post on the internet with a complex expression and said, "There are a total of five twofold trials, and which one you get is completely up to luck. Each twofold trial requires specific props for preparation."
"For example, for the Waterfall Burial Sand Sea trial, the map continuously has a large amount of poisonous dust storms, requiring each player to have props or skills to counteract the poison."
"Again, for Nine Linked Stars, in this map, players' sense of direction will be completely reversed, commanding the brain to go forward would cause the body to move backward, and commanding to flee would send them charging forward."
"One must go through long-term training, or have corresponding props and skills."
"But the twofold trial is not about an individual player, it's about all players of a planet."
"The rule of the twofold trial is that at least 70% of players from one Race must enter the twofold map, it's not an exaggeration to call it a full clan battle."
"In this situation, it's necessary to ensure every player is prepared for each twofold trial ahead of time, a stringent test of a planet's heritage."
"Last time the God Race challenged the twofold trial, they only prepared for two maps, hoping to take a gamble. If the randomly selected twofold trial happened to be one of the two maps they prepared for, they could had successfully passed."
"Unfortunately, they lost the bet."

"They got a map they were completely unprepared for and suffered a crushing defeat."
"A large number of God Race players died on that map."
"And now..."
President Sun sighed deeply, leaned back in his chair, and said with a tired and low voice, "According to what Qiu Hao said, they are prepared for all five twofold trial maps."
"Aiming for a hundred percent success rate pass."
"Chairman Li, our relationship with Qiu Hao is very stiff now. If Solar Star successfully passes the twofold trial, we will not have easy days ahead of us."
"One hundred percent?"
Black Dragon Guild's Chairman Li Shengping calmly poured himself a cup of cold tea, took a light sip, and said indifferently, "The God of Slaughter trial was added after Chen Yi wiped out the God Race on Blue Star, and he was detected by the system as the final boss for the twofold trial."
"In that twofold trial, there is only one boss modeled after Chen Yi."
"Are you sure that Solar Star is also prepared for this twofold trial? Facing those endless other shore flowers, can they find a good solution?"
"I actually think that if Solar Star randomly gets the God of Slaughter trial, there might be some fun to watch."
"Don't rush it, I feel like Chen Yi won't let Solar Star advance successfully so easily."
Li Shengping paused for a moment then set down his teacup with a significant look, "Don't you find the words Chen Yi said before leaving Sky Demon Star a bit strange?"
"Two sentences."
"The first, 'We will meet again.'"
"The second, 'I wish you a pleasant promotion.'"
"Don't you think there is something to ponder when you put these two sentences together?"
"Did you catch anything?"
President Sun furrowed his brows tightly, as if he suddenly made a connection, and asked hoarsely.
"My point is simple."
Li Shengping leaned back in his chair, naturally crossed his legs, and lit a cigarette bringing it to his mouth. Amidst the smoke, he spoke relaxingly, "I think Chen Yi might have a way to ensure that Solar Star will definitely get the God of Slaughter trial, thereby striking a heavy blow to Solar Star."
"Even if Solar Star is truly prepared in advance, they will surely have a pyrrhic victory."
"A twofold planet that narrowly avoids defeat is not so intimidating."
"Hey, Li Shengping,"
At this moment, President Sun finally realized something was off with Li Shengping. His brows furrowed, he asked thoughtfully, "You haven't been like this before, you suddenly became very calm a few days ago, as if everything is under control. Do you know some insider information that we don't?"
"Even though our two guilds don't get along, we are all forces from Neutron Star."
"If there's anything concerning the future of Neutron Star, you can't hide it from us."
Li Shengping just gave a light chuckle without speaking, his eyes full of playfulness.
He?
He was naturally no longer worried now.
After forcibly starting a war with the Sun Family Guild and having all the forces of Neutron Star withdraw from the operation using Chen Yi, the death scenario of his daughter Li Peiqi, depicted in the A-grade Prop Last Words, had finally changed.
Instead of dying by Chen Yi's hand, it changed to death at the hands of Tuberculosis Rabbit.
Although it was still unclear who Tuberculosis Rabbit was, or where this player had come from, it wasn't important. At least it meant she would not die by Chen Yi's hand, which also meant their move was not mistaken.
Withdrawing in time to avoid being cleared by Chen Yi in the future.
This could also be considered changing the future.
This is the charm of an A-grade Prop, altering the future isn't just an empty talk.
In other words, the real cause of Li Peiqi's death recorded in the A-grade Prop Last Words was due to her participation in this operation; as soon as she withdrew from the operation, she would immediately no longer have to die by Chen Yi's hand.
Now all they needed to do was wait and see how Chen Yi would deal with Solar Star.
Although he was unsure how Chen Yi could interfere with the outside world within a planet with a Newbie Protection Period, he always felt that the two sentences Chen Yi left behind when he left seemed to carry certain implications, rather than just empty threats.
...
"An S-grade Prop."
"Whew!"
Qiu Hao shared a prop panel in front of him with slightly trembling hands and said in a somewhat shaky voice, "This is probably the first S-grade Prop in Star System No. 3!"
"At least up to now, I haven't heard of any player from any planet in Star System No. 3 possessing an S-grade Prop."
"This S-grade Prop will become a critical bargaining chip for us to successfully advance to the Twofold Planet!"
Other players from Solar Star surrounding him were also staring fervently at the S-grade Prop panel in the air.
An S-grade Prop.
That was already a weapon belonging to spiritual deities, to put it accurately, even an A-grade Prop already involved the realm of spiritual deities. An S-grade Prop, to say it was the left shoulder or right arm of a deity would not be an overstatement.
「Prop Name」: The Wall of God.
「Prop Grade」: S-grade.
「Prop Effect」: Once activated, players of your Race will remain invincible, rejecting death for (1-60) seconds, with greatly increased movement speed, unaffected by any control status.
The duration varies with your Race's unity and sense of honor, and refreshes every day at 24:00.
Today's duration is (37) seconds.
「Prop Limitations」: Number of uses (1/1)
「Prop Description」: "This Prop is a replica. The original belonged to a Race known as Subaru, famed throughout the universe for their fearless and unyielding nature, ultimately leading to their annihilation. The original Prop was lost in the depths of space, its whereabouts unknown to this day."
"37 seconds of invincibility for all players."
Qiu Hao's face flushed slightly as he stared intently at the information on the Prop panel in front of him, his eyes filled with zeal and excitement as he grinned, "This is why I am not afraid of Chen Yi. Strong attack? So what."
"I watched Chen Yi's battle with the God Race. Although his attack power is exceptionally strong, his defense is very weak."
"Almost non-existent."
"He only relies on a Prop that continually releases instant recovery from injuries. But with a fatal injury causing instant death, any Prop for recovering injuries is useless."
"37 seconds of invincibility time, enough to smash Chen Yi to pieces!"
"Chen Yi is nothing but a fighter with strong attacks but weak defenses."
"If we really get randomly selected for the 'God of Slaughter' twofold trial modeled after Chen Yi, we might even achieve an Undamaged Pass. And if I remember correctly, a full team's Undamaged Pass in the twofold trial will earn a planetary achievement!"
"Not just an achievement for a single player but for the whole planet!"
"The reward for that achievement is probably the greatest in Star System No. 3!"
"I truly hope we get randomly selected for this 'God of Slaughter', not only for an Undamaged Pass but also for a massive reward!"
Looking at each other, all the surrounding Solar Star players saw the excitement and anticipation in each other's eyes.
They had been preparing for this day for far too long.
In three days!
That would be the time for Solar Star to make a name for itself!
...
Meanwhile, the news that Solar Star would be going to the twofold trial in three days had spread throughout Star System No. 3, but Blue Star remained unaware.
Planets within the Newbie Protection Period were almost completely isolated from the outside world.
If not for the invasion of Blue Star by the God Race players, the players of Blue Star might not even know until the day before the end of their Newbie Protection Period that there were so many planets outside, nor that Blue Star had been transported to an unfamiliar Star Sea.
No matter how widespread a message was on external forums, it would not reach Blue Star.
