Restart: The World Savior's New Beginning

Chapter 239: Ch 239: Taking the Trials (2)


Obviously Elena was given the perfect score for the third trial. As for rewards, she was given a piece of beautiful clothing that was also enchanted with various special formations that allowed one to resist most types of elemental attacks. It was really a very beautiful cloth and could even be considered to be most beautiful outside the divine and higher realms.

Other than that she was also given a special item called "Elemental Heart". This was a divine item for any cultivator as it allowed one to become one with a particular element and that in turn increased that person's resistance and control over that element.

And the last reward she got was a fragment of a origin jade. It was a rare type of jade that had the properties to absorb a huge amount of natural elemental energies. It was something that only a demigod could use and if a person weaker than a demigod tried to use it, he would most likely die. But as the item that Elena got was just a fragment of the real thing, it was safe for anyone to use and could be considered to be an insanely powerful item.

Actually it was unheard of for anyone to break an origin jade. But Serene Mountain, Li chuyue was kinda clumsy in many things and accidentally broke an origin jade. So as the origin jade became useless to her, he just put it in this trial ground as a reward.

...

After getting her rewards for the third trial Elena was teleported to the fourth one. Once again it was still in the white room and Elena was already very used to it.

The cold voice once again sounded but this time it was not completely emotionless as the feeling of impatience and curiosity was clear in it.

"This is the fourth trial which is also called the trial of temperament. Here someone's true nature will be judged by letting them face various incidents without the support of their memory. In those situations, the action a person will take will reflect that person's true nature."

Basically for this round, the challengers would be sent to an illusion realm and there they would be given a new set of memories. Then the challengers would come across several situations where they would need to make some decisions. And depending on that decision, that person's true temperament would be judged.

Elena found this trial to be quite interesting. It was impossible to trap her in any kind of illusion, but it was very much possible for Elena to create a weaker soul with her own personality and then let it do trial. And she decided to do just that as even she was interested in knowing what type of decision she would make in various troublesome situations.

...

The alter ego Elena created with her personality entered the illusion realm to take the trial of temperament. She found herself in the body of a young girl who was going to a forest with a close friend of hers.

According to the memory of the new body, this young girl was living in a small village with her grandmother. And the other girl who was with her was her best friend. Currently they were going inside the forest to search for a herb that the young girl needed to cure her grandmother.

As soon as the alter ego got the new set of memory it started to act accordingly to that memory. This illusion was quite good as it was able to replace the memory perfectly. The alter ego did not feel anything weird about the situation and acted just like she always did.

Soon they went quite deep inside the forest to search for that herb and a large bear attacked them. They tried to run but the bear was faster and caught up with them quickly. At that moment the alter ego of Elena took a drastic step and ran toward a different direction from her friend while attracting the attention of the bear toward herself.

Her friend tried to stop her from doing it but Elena just said that she would be fine and requested her friend to take care of her grandmother and to try to find the herb. She also forced her friend to run away.

But was Elena willing to throw away her life. Hell no. Elena attracted the bear and went toward a cliff. She had searched her thoroughly to find this piece of information. Her plan was to get rid of the bear.

But unfortunately the bear was too strong and too fast. It was able to quickly catch up to Elena and almost killed her. Her body was that of a young and frail woman so she did not have any ability to resist that bear.

But still she greeted her teeth to fight through the pain and did not decrease her speed at all. And when she was close to the edge of the cliff Elena jumped down. The bear, who was unaware about the cliff also did the same fall to its death. Elena managed to save her life by hanging on a rock and climbed up the cliff after a lot of effort. Then she pushed her broken body and went toward the village.

After reaching her house Elena found her best friend there who was crying beside Elena's grandmother. As soon as she saw Elena, she jumped toward her and hugged her. But Elena's body was already in a very bad condition and that hug made the situation even worse.

Then after calming her friend down, she asked about the situation and learnt that her friend was able to find the needed herb just before leaving the forest and blaming herself for leaving Elena behind. At that moment Elena was able to return alive and that was best gratifying for her. After a few months of rest and recuperation, Elena finally managed to get well and then she lived happily ever after with her grandmother. And that was the end of the scenario for the fourth trial.

Actually, the way this trial was supposed to go was completely different from what happened in Elena's case. Normally Elena and her friend were supposed to run and they would be able to find a hiding spot by chance. But only a single person could stay here and the decision Elena would make in this situation could judge her to be a selfish or a selfless person. Then depending on her decision different events would happen.

Elena Elena decided to take the hiding spot for herself, then the bear would come close to this spot and would devour her friend alive almost in front of her. That event would check if she was a heartless person or not. And if she decided to give this spot to her friend then she would encounter a different person and it would be checked if she was capable of sacrificing a stranger to save her life or not. That bear was never supposed to die anyway.

But even before the start of the true test, Elena quickly made her decision to not allow her best friend to face troubles with her and saved her. Then she quickly searched for a way to save her own life and after finding a way, she gave her best and held onto her life to get rid of the bear. She was able to survive and the bear who was chasing after her died.

...

Elena was someone who liked to introduce herself as a "Survivor". She did not use the term "Invincible" or "Overpowered" to describe herself. That means she was someone who was willing to do "anything" to survive. But that "anything" had some prerequisites.

She was willing to do anything to survive but her actions should not harm an unrelated party. She would not put anyone in life threatening danger for her own survival. According to her, she had some bottom lines that she was never willing to cross in order to survive.

So Elena was a survivor, but a survivor who never survived while harming a different person. That was also the reason why Elena chose many resurrection skills instead of defensive skills or life saving skills as she knew that because of her nature she would never be able to always stay safe. So she did her best to do something that would allow her to come back to life even after dying.

She survived but died many times while saving others. She survived but lost many good friends unwillingly. She survived and never gave up. That's why she was the "Savior". The only one who was able to survive longer than the DESTROYER in a battle.

...

The fourth trial was there to test the general nature of a person. It was not there to analyse a person's personality in detail. Actually this trial was very important as if one failed in this trial and was judged to be a very evil person, the trial spirit would probably try to eliminate that person.

Only being selfish was not bad enough to even fail. So to be judged as an evil person one needed to commit slaughter mindlessly or to rape women like a mindless devil. As the trial forced a person to reveal their true nature, it was very much possible.

Obviously Elena was able to get yet another full score with her performance and was eligible to take the final trial.
