The wide streets were filled with pedestrians hurrying towards the center of the Imperial Capital.
There were humans dressed in gorgeous clothes, handsome and beautiful elves, liches shrouded in gray fog, tauren warriors over three yards tall, and many other humanoid races.
Joelson, Toby, and Edessa were among them.
"Joelson, the tomb of the sovereign has been opened. The trial of inheritance will begin in a month."
Toby said to Joelson.
Joelson looked at the pedestrians on the street and asked with a puzzled gaze, "Could it be that these people are going to the tomb of the sovereign? Some of them haven't even reached the god-domain level yet."
Toby laughed, then shook his head and said, "They're not going to the tomb of the sovereign. Most of them are just there to join in the fun. After all, there aren't many opportunities like this."
"Oh, right. I don't seem to have told you about the situation in the past half a month," Toby said as he looked at Joelson.
"What situation?"Joelson asked.
Toby said, "During the half a month that you've been in your room, the Divine Kingdom of Slaughter and the four great empires have jointly formulated the rules for this inheritance trial. They've set up a competition, and they've set up dueling platforms in the important cities of the four great empires. Naturally, the Imperial Capital of the Orencia Empire, where we're currently located, has one as well. Only the victors of the competition can enter the tomb of the sovereign to fight for the chance to enter the inheritance trial!"
Toby glanced at the people on the street, he said, "The main reason is to prevent too many people from entering the sovereign's tomb and causing chaos. Look, these people are all there to watch the competition. Without this competition, they would probably have run into the sovereign's tomb. And in the Plane of Slaughter, there are simply too many people like this."

Joelson nodded slightly and didn't say anything else.
He didn't really care about the competition. He didn't think that this competition would be a hindrance to him.
Seeing this, Toby didn't say anything else.
Edessa, on the other hand, was very interested in introducing the situation of the Plane of Slaughter to Joelson.
Not long after, Joelson and the two arrived at the place where the competition was held in the Imperial Capital.
In front of them was an enormous plaza, enough to accommodate more than a billion people of different races within the Imperial Capital.
More than a billion people were gathered in the plaza. Quite a few people flew up into the air to watch the tournament in the plaza.
Joelson, Toby, and Edessa also flew up into the air to watch.
In the very center of the plaza, there were ten enormous dueling platforms.
The ten dueling platforms formed a circle.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})The dueling platforms were surrounded by a magic array formed from the arcane truths of the laws. They were extremely sturdy, able to withstand a battle between demigods.
Joelson began to understand. It seemed that there was already a way to use the arcane truths of the laws to construct a magic array in the mortal plane. It was just that he didn't know if there was a way to use the arcane truths of the laws to release magic.
On each of the ten dueling platforms stood a person.
"Joelson, these ten people are all relatively famous geniuses of the Orencia Empire. Those two are extremely famous throughout the entire Plane of Slaughter!"
Toby pointed at the people on the two dueling platforms and introduced them to Joelson.
Joelson nodded slightly, preparing to ask Toby how he could participate in the competition.
But then, he saw a peak god expert fly to the center of the ten dueling platforms.
"Anyone who wishes to enter the tomb of the sovereign to participate in the legacy trials can step onto one of the dueling platforms. Those who have lost their combat ability will be judged to have lost. The victor can continue to stand on the dueling platform and become an arena lord. The loser will lose their qualification. As long as an arena lord is able to consecutively defeat ten challengers on the dueling platform, he will be qualified to enter the tomb of the sovereign and participate in the trials! "Every single dueling platform, as long as a single person is qualified, will no longer be used!"
The voice of the god, under the effect of the arcane mysteries of the laws, continued to spread throughout the entire plaza.
And then, the god flew back to the judge's seat next to the dueling platform.
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire plaza immediately began to boil with excitement.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})The god's meaning was very clear. This city only had a total of ten places to enter the tomb of the sovereign.
Joelson frowned slightly as well. A billion people, but in the end, only ten victors had been chosen.
"No need to worry."
As though seeing through Joelson's doubts, Toby said, "Although there are many people here, in truth, most of them are just here to watch the show. Not to mention anything else, just the ten people standing on the dueling platform right now aren't many who can be defeated. I dare say that until the end of the challenge, there will still be at least five people standing on the dueling platform!"
Joelson nodded slightly. "I'm going up."
As he said this, he prepared to fly up to the dueling platform.
At this moment, ten people had already flown up to the dueling platform closer to the dueling platform. They were challenging the ten people who were originally on the dueling platform.
There were only ten spots. These people who wanted to enter the tomb of the sovereign would naturally step out immediately, wanting to take one spot first.
Joelson stopped his movements. Since he needed to win ten consecutive battles in order to obtain the qualifications, it wouldn't end in a short period of time.
And he also wanted to see just what sort of power the geniuses of the Plane of Slaughter possessed.
The ten dueling platforms quickly erupted into an intense battle.
The tremors emanating from the dueling platforms caused the people standing in the plaza to feel as though the ground was shaking.
Fortunately, with the restrictions of the arcane magic array, the attacks of these demigods wouldn't affect the outside world.
Otherwise, the entire plaza of the Imperial Capital would probably be completely destroyed during the battle.
Seeing the battle in the plaza, the nearby Toby suddenly said, "This battle should be won by the arena lords. After all, the arena lords are all geniuses who have been chosen in advance."
Joelson glanced at Toby and said, "Are these people the most talented young generation of the Orencia Empire?"
Toby shook his head and said, "Not all of them. There are still some geniuses in the Imperial Capital who have been traveling in the outside world. They might not have returned yet. I reckon that they will participate in the competition in a city that is closer to them."
"As for these people on the dueling platform, a few of them are relatively less talented. They were chosen to participate in the dueling platform because of the families behind them. They want to spread their fame."
"But even so, they won't be easily defeated. Their lower talent is only compared to true geniuses. If compared to commoners, their talent is still very strong!"
Speaking up to this point, Toby revealed a proud expression, "This is the advantage of a big family!"
Then, he laughed awkwardly and said, "My family originally wanted to arrange for me to go up, but I was afraid that I would lose face and refuse."
Hearing this, Joelson laughed and said nothing more.
