Chapter 3610 The Orexis Test

The human woman only hesitated for a moment before she finally made her decision.

This temple was the last fortress of the human race. It had stood on Stage Seventeen of the Other Shore for so many years, and was never once explored. Naturally, she would never let go of such a rare opportunity!

She gently nudged forward from inside of the red ball. Her snake tail swayed as she followed closely behind Zen and Elvinia.

Now, Zen was the first one to step on the starry pattern.

The pattern appeared to be made of some kind of thick mercury. When he stepped on it, the pattern suddenly flashed a beam of starlight, which immediately consumed him.

"Zen!" Elvinia shouted.

Without thinking twice, she quickly followed him and jumped into the starry pattern. Like Zen, she also disappeared inside the mysterious starlight.

The last who went in was the woman, the human betrayer.

After the starlight had swallowed Zen, he looked around and found himself in a totally different space.

Countless dots of light continuously fell down on him.

A seemingly infinite number of stars illuminated the sky and formed a silver stream of light.

Back then, he had once marveled at the beautiful starlight in his father's universe. However, the stars in his father's inner world paled in comparison to the current scenery in front of him. The number of stars above him was way beyond anyone could count.

Stars fell from the sky, flew past the corner of his eye, then began to disappear from his view.

It wasn't until he heard the whistle of the wind that he realized what was really going on. The stars weren't actually flying away from him, but rather, he was falling down fast.

Below him was a huge continent that was shrouded in the darkness. It was originally as small as a hand in his eyes, but as he kept falling down, it rapidly expanded and the expanse of its territory became increasingly clear to him. Soon enough, a vast land appeared beneath him.

Suddenly, he remembered that he was getting closer and closer to the ground.

"I need to brace for impact!" he exclaimed.

Almost subconsciously, he attempted to fly up into the air.

"Rise!"

"Thunder Materialization!"

"Wind ..."

He used several methods in a row, but none of them worked to slow down his speed.

It seemed that his theurgies were useless in this space.

Just as he was about to hit the ground, an invisible force cushioned him from behind, then slowly and gently eased him down.

Once he had landed, he got up from the ground and examined the state of his

ally completely exhausted. He felt his throat burn as thirst and hunger began to cloud his mind.

'I need to eat and drink...'

As soon as the thought came to his mind, a gust of wind suddenly carried a delicate bouquet of wine to him.

The wine's fragrance rushed into his nostrils, until it reached all the way into the depths of his soul.

He shivered as he was deeply dazed and exhausted. Still, he managed to look up and saw some brilliant lights in front of him.

There was a big table laden with various kinds of fruits, while fragrant wines of different colors filled the glasses and emitted an intoxicating scent.

There were people who sat around the table, who all stood up and bowed respectfully to Zen.

"Please help yourself to the wines and fruits," they said.

'They didn't stop me from eating and drinking!' he happily thought to himself. "But, you should know, they are all poisonous!" someone suddenly warned.

"What's wrong with you?" Zen grumbled.

He glared sullenly at the people around him. He felt that he was about to go crazy!

After he was demoted to an ordinary mortal, all of his emotions and desires felt authentic. Therefore, it was difficult for him to resist his instinct for eating.

Finally, he couldn't help but satisfy his desire for food. Even though he had a very strong will, he now gave in to his orexis.

As he stumbled helplessly towards the wines and fruits, he suddenly heard a voice in his mind that said, "If you die here, your previous efforts will be wasted!"

It was true that he had gone on a hard path before entering the temple. Of course, there was no way that he would resign himself to the prospect of losing right then and there.
