Chapter 420 The hatch closes! The astonished True God of Awakening
As soon as Irene finished speaking, Chen Yuan felt an endless stream of computing power surge into his mind through the origin of the virtual universe, instantly increasing his mental processing speed many times over.
It should be understood that computing power is the most powerful talent of intelligent life, which is unmatched by other races.
Not to mention that after acquiring hundreds of intelligent cores, Irelia's computing power ceiling has reached a hundred times that of a peak universe master-level intelligent life form.
If we disregard other factors and consider only computing power, Irelia is comparable to a true god. For example, the father god of the machine race has computing power that is only slightly less than Irelia's.
For flesh-and-blood beings at the level of universe lords, the difference between the two is not as simple as a few thousand or tens of thousands of times.
Chen Yuan could clearly feel that after using Irene's computing power, his mental processing speed had increased by at least hundreds of thousands of times compared to before.
With such powerful computing capabilities, coupled with the time acceleration state of the black-patterned stone pillar exceeding 300,000 times, Chen Yuan felt a continuous stream of inspiration when he looked at the Rhinoceros Emperor Bureau again.
What originally seemed like a very complex three-dimensional phantom image could now be identified at a glance by him, and he could quickly sketch out a perfect image.
In the end, Chen Yuan successfully completed the first game in less than half an hour.
However, the first 123 endgame puzzles are accompanied by complete game scenarios, which are essentially like solving problems by following the answers, so the difficulty is not high; the purpose is simply to help people understand the basic rules.
Even so, after solving the first game, the underlying rules left Chen Yuan in awe.
"It's done." Chen Yuan smiled. "Tsk tsk, as expected of the Rhinoceros Emperor's Bureau. Even the first round of secret rune operation can achieve a perfect cycle, making it eternally indestructible."
He had seen things that were perfectly cyclical before, such as the primordial universe and the virtual universe, where no energy was wasted.
Regardless of the type of universe, its level is not low. However, the image formed by Chen Yuan's first appearance is only at the level of immortality, yet it can still maintain a perfect cycle!
"The Rhinoceros Emperor must have comprehended the operating rules of the primordial universe to create such a perfect divine power circulation route."
Chen Yuan's eyes lit up.
He felt that if he could understand the essence of the Rhinoceros Emperor Bureau, then the perfect operation of the Rhinoceros Emperor Bureau would be of great help in the future, whether it was researching secret techniques or the path of divine power.
"Of course, the premise is that I can understand the entire game before I am qualified to understand its essence."
Chen Yuan shook his head. He had only grasped the first game so far, and that was only the first 123 complete games. He had not yet come into contact with the later endgames.
There is still a long way to go before we can fully comprehend the complete Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation.
"continue!"
As time went by, Chen Yuan was also rapidly comprehending the first 123 complete games. After all, these games had references, and as long as one was willing to put in the effort to study them, there was no such thing as a bottleneck.
Two days later, he finally solved the 123rd puzzle.
"Done."
Chen Yuan blinked and focused his gaze on the 124th game on the right side of the corridor, which was also the first endgame without a reference. "From now on, the real test begins."
"Let me see what this so-called endgame is all about."
At first glance, Chen Yuan felt that the distribution of basic elements in this endgame was somewhat inexplicable and baffling.
Without a complete game reference, relying on one's own understanding to complete the endgame truly tests a participant's comprehension and calculation abilities.
However, it is also very challenging!
"Start with what you're confident about."
Having completed 123 perfect matches, Chen Yuan has a basic understanding of the rules of the Rhinoceros King's Game. Now, he needs to rely on his own knowledge to fill in the gaps in the game.
With the help of Irene's computing power and the acceleration of time, every second Chen Yuan's mind was filled with countless ideas for solving the puzzle. However, many of these ideas were wrong, but some were perfectly integrated into the endgame.
"Wrong."
"This is wrong again."
"Haha, so that's how this basic element should work!"
"It's still not right. This part of the route is working perfectly, but it's blocking the other routes."
"Yes, let's convert it here, haha, done!"
About fifteen minutes later, Chen Yuan finally solved the 124th puzzle!
That's right, it only took fifteen minutes, even less than the time it took him to solve the first game by following the answer key.
That's because, at the beginning of the game, although there were answers to copy, Chen Yuan was not yet familiar with the rules of the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation, so it took him a long time.
But as the first 123 games were solved one by one, he became more and more familiar with the rules of the game.
During this period, the proportion of computing power's role has been gradually increasing.
When Chen Yuan began to formally solve the endgame, he already had a thorough understanding of all the rules, so he only needed to devote all his computing power to analyzing the endgame, and his efficiency naturally increased.
As the sound of success emanated from the crystal pillar, a hint of joy appeared in Chen Yuan's eyes: "Very good, let's strike while the iron is hot and begin analyzing the 125th puzzle."
As Chen Yuan solved the 124 puzzles within the crystal pillar, Duan Donghe suddenly turned his gaze to Chen Yuan.
"Solved the first puzzle so quickly?"
Even the well-informed Duan Donghe couldn't help but be surprised at this moment.
Looking back at the remaining four universe lords, I saw that they were still struggling with the first complete puzzle, with the fastest one not even having completed half of it.
"The difference is truly..." Duan Donghe shook his head slightly. If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have opened the Tomb Ship to attract people in. What kind of scoundrels are these?
The most outstanding genius was right in front of him, but he ignored him, wasting so much time in the process.
"At this rate, Yuan Chu will most likely be able to solve all five thousand problems and obtain the final inheritance spot before the end of three eras."
Duan Donghe revealed a satisfied expression: "Although it took some time earlier, it's quite good that we were able to find a suitable successor so quickly."
"Since that's the case, I won't cause any more trouble. I'll just wait patiently."
With this thought in mind, Duan Donghe made a move, and the hatch on the outside of the Tomb Ship made a rumbling sound and slowly closed. The energy light screen also rose up again, preventing others from entering.
"The hatch is closed!"
"Wait, I haven't gone in yet!"
"What's going on? Wasn't it said that the Tomb Ship possessed the heritage of an ancient civilization and was undergoing assessment?"
"Look, the group of people who went in just now are being brought out!"
At this moment, Shadow Demon Lord and others were still guarding outside the Tomb Ship. They wanted to know who would ultimately receive the inheritance. Would it be the mysterious Primordial Lord?
However, less than two days later, they saw that the gate of the Tomb Ship was closed, and even those who entered later to participate in the assessment were excluded!
"What's going on?" The four strongest individuals couldn't help but exchange glances, not understanding why the Tomb Ship had suddenly shut down.
The Thunder-Clad Demon God speculated, "Could it be that the Primordial Lord has already completed all the trials and eliminated all the other participants?"
Seeing this, the others nodded in agreement. Since they had left before the third round, they were unaware of what the subsequent assessments would entail.
Although only two days have passed since they came out, considering how quickly the first two rounds of assessments were completed—finishing the remaining assessments in two days is quite reasonable.
Just then, a powerful aura surged towards them, and everyone who saw it retreated.
"Awaken to the True God!"
"The powerful figures from the Purple Moon Holy Land have arrived."
"Unfortunately, the Purple Moon Holy Land reacted quickly, but they were still a step too late."
Due to the urgency of the situation, the Purple Moon Holy Land did not send many people. Only the True God of Awakening led a dozen or so Universe Lords, which is why they were able to arrive at the Tomb Ship in such a short time.
But they were too late. When the True God of Awakening led many cosmic lords to the Tomb Ship, they were surprised to find that the ship's hatches were already tightly closed.
"What happened?"
The True God of Awakening was astonished. Wasn't it said that the ancient civilization's inheritance test was being conducted inside the Tomb Ship? Why were the doors tightly closed?
Left with no other choice, he looked at the several True Gods in the distance. According to intelligence, Ying Zhong and the other three were among the first to enter the Tomb Ship.
"Shadow Demon Lord," asked the True God of Awakening, "Do you know what happened?"
"The four of us came out a long time ago and don't know what happened afterward."
The Shadow Demon Lord shook his head and spoke frankly: "I'm just guessing that someone may have already completed all the tests and become the final inheritor, which is why this Tomb Ship has closed."
"Really?" Juehua Zhenshen found it somewhat unlikely. How long had it been?
According to the ancestor, the Duan Donghe lineage was considered powerful even among ancient civilizations, so the test they set up would not be so simple, and it was impossible for them to determine the final candidate in just two days.
This is where the difference in understanding between the two sides lies. Since Shadow Demon Lord and others have never seen the inheritance of the ancient civilization, they can only use the time of the first two rounds of assessment as a reference. Therefore, they naturally feel that selecting an inheritor in two days is not something unacceptable.
But Juehua True God is different. Born in the Holy Land Universe, his knowledge is far superior to Yingzhong and the others. Moreover, he has the endorsement of the Purple Moon Ancestor on this trip, so he subconsciously felt that the inheritance assessment could not end so quickly.
"No, there must be other reasons."
Juehua True God shook his head and continued to look at Shadow Zhong Demon Lord and the others: "Tell me everything you know."
"It's really gone."
Ying Zhong shook his head and said, "We only passed two rounds of assessments. We left before the third round even started. How would we know what happened afterward?"
"Leaving before the third round?" Juehua Zhenshen was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "You didn't even look at what the third round of assessment is before leaving?"
"There's nothing we can do," said Shadow Demon Lord helplessly. "That Duan Donghe said he already has someone he likes, and that our chances of passing the final test are extremely slim. If we continue, we'll only face certain death."
"We dare not gamble with our lives on that possibility, so we have no choice but to leave."
"Who is your ideal candidate?"
"Your Purple Moon Holy Land should be quite familiar with this person." Shadow Bell Demon Lord glanced at the people of the Purple Moon Holy Land and said, "He is the Primordial Lord."
"What?!" Upon hearing this name, the experts from the Purple Moon Holy Land were immediately shocked.
