Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits

The nearby space twisted, completely concealing his figure within it.

...

Lin Qing felt slightly dazed for a moment, suddenly feeling his body drop heavily. After looking around, he found himself standing on a dark red land under a sky with three dazzling suns.

The ground beneath his feet was hard and scorching hot, with surface temperatures possibly in the thousands of degrees.

Scorching hot air waves continuously attacked from afar, with temperatures soaring well over several hundred degrees.

The gravity here was much higher than in the Divine Forbidden Land, estimated to be at least 2,400 times that of Earth's gravity.

Even with the strength of an Inspector, one could barely survive here, and any movement would be painfully slow.

"Not a virtual space..."

Lin Qing could feel he was in the real world, but his Third-order Starry Sky Battle Dress was gone, leaving only the Second Rank Starry Sky Battle Dress he had prepared in advance.

"Just as the information described."

"The Divine Forbidden Land connects to spaces of other planets, and the trial can also transfer people to different locations..."

"Items or factors not suitable for the trial also cannot be transferred along."

Lin Qing silently experienced the changes at the moment.

The Third-order Starry Sky Battle Dress, the firearms he carried, the Subspace Storage Device, and the Energy Shield Bracelet had not transferred with him.

However, the High Energy Magic Cube, Alloy Flying Knife, and so forth were still with him.

Suddenly—

"Trial Taker."

A deep and imposing voice arose, "The trial begins in thirty seconds. Survive for one minute, and you will pass the first test."

"A survival test?" Lin Qing thought to himself.

He had tried various simulated trials of Divine's Messenger in the Chuanxing Tower, naturally gaining some experience.

The next moment—

The sky suddenly darkened, revealing countless burning meteorites hurtling towards the ground at terrifying speeds!

Each meteorite was at least several meters in diameter, and even if their density was just ordinary rock, their mass would be considerable. Given such exaggerated gravitational acceleration, their kinetic energy was unimaginable.

"With their high density and wide-ranging impact, combined with such intense gravity, they are too difficult to avoid and there's nowhere to hide."

Lin Qing quickly assessed the situation.

Under such fearsome gravity, Speed would likely reduce to a fraction of what it once was. Could such Speed even begin to evade?

"And...I can only use the lightest Source Divine Weapon; otherwise, I can't even get off the ground."

"Go."

With a thought, Lin Qing expanded a dim Light Domain and simultaneously, streams of light flew out from his body. Twelve of them turned into twelve Source Divine Weapons, tearing through the air under the Domain's propulsion and colliding with the meteorites.

Another Source Divine Weapon, resembling an electric drill, followed gravity's pull and rapidly spun toward the ground, attempting to burrow a tunnel and find a hiding spot.

"Clang clang clang—!"

The twelve Source Divine Weapons struck the meteorite with a resounding clash but failed to tear it apart, merely chipping off some fragments.

Lin Qing was taken aback.

The one drilling into the ground had only managed to create a hole about the size of a thumb and a few centimeters deep.

"This sturdy?"

He immediately realized, "It seems I have to rely on the Domain to divert these meteorites..."

Looking around, the world was filled with meteorites everywhere, sky and ground, and they were indestructible. He could only rely on a wide-ranging Domain to shift their path.

"It appears this first level tests the Domain?"

Musing to himself, Lin Qing instantly began manipulating the Domain, compressing it on the sides of the meteorites, altering the falling trajectory of those speeding towards him."

However, the mass of these meteorites was still too great. It was impossible to stop their fall, at best reducing the speed or altering the course.

"Quite challenging..."

With a thought, Lin Qing controlled his Domain to continually exert pressure on the falling meteorites, trying to make them fall as far away as possible.

Even if the meteorites were fast and heavy, as long as the Domain exerted a sideways force from a high distance, it was enough to completely divert them.

"Boom boom boom—!"

One by one, the meteorites crazily slammed into the ground, hitting the solid earth, causing constant tremors, yet only creating shallow pits on the surface.

Before long, the ground a hundred meters away was covered with fallen meteorites.

"Why are there more and more, and why are they getting faster?"

Lin Qing felt the meteorites were becoming increasingly difficult to influence, and he sensed something ominous.

Continuing this way, without sufficient distance, the Domain would struggle to divert these meteoritic meteoroids far enough.

Gradually, the falling meteorites were coming closer and closer.

Dodging seemed meaningless.

"Black Flame."

Finally, Lin Qing controlled the Black Flame Clone to ignite, significantly boosting his Consciousness Strength.

The influence of the Domain instantly expanded, easily diverting the meteorites and reaching a level where he could comfortably resolve the situation.

A minute passed quickly.

In a blink, all the meteorites had vanished.

Lin Qing felt a sudden lightness in his body and seemed to appear in a weightless space, surrounded by the dark void of space, only able to see faint starlight in the distance.

Ahead was a spiraling staircase emitting a faint glow, beautiful as crystal and colored glass, its end invisible and seemingly leading to the end of the starry space.

"This place is..."

Lin Qing's heart leaped with joy as he immediately recognized the situation, "The Stairway of the Mind?"

He had already experienced similar simulated trials in the Chuanxing Tower.
