Waldo immediately tries to contact him.

Like a young man who is very fond of gossip, he inquires about the specific situation.

In their conversation, Waldo is very eager, praising the other party a lot, and occasionally expressing admiration.

Making the other party feel elated and thoroughly enjoying it.

...

Half a day later.

"Ah, thanks for sharing. May you rise higher and higher, seize power in the Ye family soon, conquer territories, and stand out among many trial participants!"

Waldo finally ends the call with the other party, his dark and deep eyes flickering uncertainly.

Indeed.

It’s almost as he expected.

This person, named Rowe, had earlier joined the Ye family and was appointed as a steward of the Ye family.

Although just a servant with a lowly status, he worked in the Ye family mansion, close to the core of the Ye family.

The private conversations of the servants inevitably involved some important information about the Ye family.

Rowe, with his intentions, managed to obtain quite a bit of intelligence.

Guided by Waldo, he spilled everything he knew.

"The Ye family, although they haven’t figured out my identity yet, their recent thorough investigations have revealed some things."

"For example, the Ye family already knows about the trial participants..."

The Ye family, as a dominant force, is powerful and influential.

By synthesizing various pieces of information, they finally discovered a mysterious power.

The Trial Participants!

However, at the current stage, the Ye family’s attitude towards the trial participants is quite intriguing.

It’s unclear what their next move will be.

The trial participants, as an external force, currently have an inconspicuous reputation and little influence.

But the growth characteristics of the trial participants...

In the near future, they are bound to have a revolutionary impact on the world’s pattern!

"If I were the head of the Ye family, upon learning about such a mysterious and rapidly growing power, I would surely plan ahead to deal with future crises!"

Waldo contemplates in secret.

"First, I would gather the trial participants as much as possible."

"Offer them some benefits, utilize their traits to grow stronger continuously, seeking an invincible position!"

It seems that the Ye family will soon make similar moves.

Including the entire Tianzhou, and even the Eternal World, all native forces will know of the existence of the trial participants.

You can’t wrap fire in paper; it will eventually be known to all.

However...

This means that Waldo will face much greater danger.

Waldo raises an eyebrow.

"The Ye family must already know I am a trial participant, though they don’t know who I am exactly. But with my potential for growth, this time, they will spare no expense to nip me in the bud!"

"Otherwise, once I truly grow, the destruction of the Ye family won’t be far off!" "If it were me, an army of a million would press down in an instant!"

...

Waldo feels heavy-hearted.

Afterwards.

There are undercurrents in Tianzhou.

Over the vast land, the sky is covered with dark clouds, the sun and moon are unseen.

The sky roars fiercely all day, with fine rain densely covering, and every inch of air is permeated with an indescribable sense of depression.

On the seemingly calm land, undercurrents are raging.

From the common folk, street thugs, and temple beggars, to the lords of a city, generals commanding thousands of troops, or the high-ranking families controlling the fate of millions, everyone feels the impending storm.

Soon, this feeling will spread to the entire Eternal World, sparing no one.

The natives know that the skies are about to change.

The arrival of the trial participants is destined to reshuffle the major powers!

This is a catastrophe.

But it is also a tremendous opportunity!

The winner will be king, the loser the outcast!

...

Ye Family!

"Trial Participants!"

"It’s really about to change!"

The family head, Ye Wutian, had cold and unfathomably deep eyes, and no one knew what he was pondering.

His extremely authoritative voice immediately resonated.

"This is a crucial opportunity for the rise of my Ye family, but also a crisis of possible destruction. To exist or not, to soar to the heavens or to be shattered to pieces, it all hinges on this moment!"

"Issue my command!"

"Deploy all forces of our ’Heaven and Earth Net’ to secretly search for trial participants. Once found, we must fully persuade them, promise them benefits, and ensure they join the Ye family’s camp!"

"But if..."

Ye Wutian’s voice suddenly paused, and within his dark eyes flickered countless cold lights, as if brewing a great terror.

Even the high-ranking officials below, who each controlled a part of the realm, felt their hearts tremble with fear!

After a moment of pause, Ye Wutian said coldly: "If the other party is unwilling, then crush them to dust, completely annihilate them, never to be reborn!"

"Those who do not join the Ye family are our enemies, and must not be let go! Understand?"

"Understood!"

Ye Wutian nodded and continued: "The fortress lord in the Demon Forest previously must have been a trial participant."

"The last battle, eradicating 80,000 of our Ye family’s troops and gaining considerable harvests, suggests they have already begun to take shape."

"80,000 troops are far from enough to eradicate them!"

"The upcoming deployment of 100,000 troops is also insufficient. Now, immediately redeploy another 100,000 elite troops from the front lines confronting the Xiao family. A total of 200,000 troops, attacking from two directions, must completely capture them!"

"As commanded!"

"Your will shall be obeyed!"

...

Xiao City.

In the distance, a white phoenix-like bird suddenly broke through the floating clouds in the sky, flying into a heavily guarded, magnificently splendid palace complex.

In an instant, it arrived at one of the most opulent palaces.

Inside the palace.

Xiao Chen and a middle-aged man were sitting opposite each other.

A chessboard was between them.

The black and white pieces, like giant snakes, battled fiercely, creating intense tension.

Suddenly, Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows as if sensing something and looked outside.

The middle-aged man, the head of the Xiao family, controller of nearly a hundred million subjects, Xiao Zhan, also showed a flicker of emotion.

Then, a white bird flew in.

Xiao Zhan took the letter from the pigeon, examined it intently, his eyebrows knitting together.

"Trial participants have descended, the world may face turmoil, a great change is inevitable!"

"This is a message from our most important piece in the Ye family, a core secret of the Ye family.

With the capabilities of the Ye family’s ’Heaven and Earth Net’, it’s absolutely credible!"

"Amidst these turbulent times, our Xiao family must seize the opportunity, we cannot afford to miss it!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen’s expression changed, visibly shaken.

Trial participants?

A great change in heaven and earth?

Chaos is about to ensue?

His mind buzzed for a moment.

Before he could ask, the experienced and wise head of the Xiao family, who had weathered countless storms, unexpectedly trembled slightly in his hands, speaking rapidly: "Chen’er, that

Waldo you are on good terms with must also be a trial participant!"

"Now, at all costs, help him through this difficult time!"

"Whatever he needs, we will provide, we must help him survive the Ye family’s siege!"

"Also, issue my command, let Tianji Pavilion gather all the trial participants in the world, and ensure to bring them under the Xiao family’s banner! There must be no mistakes!"

"Yes!"
