Primordial Ancient Serpent-Chapter 428: Enlightenment Gallery, Tens of Millions of Chaos Monuments!

"To the Hall of Enlightenment?!"

Upon hearing this, the gathered geniuses were all struck with surprise. After such a long wait, it was finally about to begin. Without wasting time on unnecessary words, they immediately followed the Golden Armored God General.

Not long after, they arrived at the legendary Hall of Enlightenment.

"This is the Hall of Enlightenment?!"

Many geniuses looked in awe at the enormous and majestic palace standing before them. It spanned an incredibly vast area and was surrounded by countless layers of chaotic forbidden formations—forming a three-dimensional defense with no visible flaw.

But what shocked them even more was the aura emanating from within. From inside the Hall of Enlightenment, countless powerful energies surged forth like an abyss—immensely suffocating and overwhelming.

The Golden Armor God General Yi noticed the doubt on the geniuses' faces and calmly explained:

"Don't be surprised. You are not the only ones who will comprehend the Chaos Monuments within the Hall of Enlightenment. Many gods and cultivators from beyond this realm have also been granted access through special exchanges. So, the number of those seeking enlightenment here is far from few.

Of course, you don't need to worry about the number of monuments. There are over fifty million Chaos Monuments in the Hall of Enlightenment. Each one of them directly points toward the essence of the Dao.

However, due to the varying levels of the monument creators, the Dao insights contained within them differ. Among them, the greatest are the hundreds of thousands created by the Chaos City Lord. Whether you are fated to discover one of these is entirely up to your luck and chance."

"The Chaos Monuments created by the Chaos City Lord?!"

Upon hearing this, a spark of excitement lit up in the eyes of many geniuses. Before arriving in Chaos City, they had been strictly instructed by their elders to seek out the monuments left behind by the Chaos City Lord.

It was no secret—these Chaos Monuments were the true treasures, pointing directly to the peak of the Dao. Even gods constantly sought to study them, hoping for profound enlightenment.

However, with tens of millions of monuments available, selecting a suitable one for enlightenment was no simple task.

"There is a corridor that stretches for tens of millions of kilometers," God General Yi continued. "It is known as the Enlightenment Gallery."

The God General Yi led the group of geniuses into the hall and explained, "Along this gallery are illustrated patterns of the Chaos Monuments—rough visual impressions of their structure.

Through these depictions, you may choose a suitable Chaos Monument. But remember: each person may choose only one, and you have only one day. If you fail to choose within that time, you will lose the opportunity."

"One day?!"

Daode Tianzun and the others gasped. How could one possibly find the right Chaos Monument among tens of millions of illustrations in a single day?

In truth, even glancing at them all in that span was inconceivable. Would it really come down to luck and destiny?

They looked around and saw that the corridor seemed bottomless, endless in both directions. Mysterious patterns were engraved along both sides, densely packed like a divine art gallery.

"Once you've made your selection," the God General Yi continued, "you will be taken to comprehend the Chaos Monument itself. However, the time for comprehension is limited to seven days. This is a great opportunity—make sure to cherish it. That's all I will say. Now, begin."

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

As soon as the words left his mouth, the geniuses sprang into action, as if already well-prepared. Each moved with practiced ease, heading toward a specific pattern with no hesitation.

However, a few among them stood frozen, confused and unsure how to proceed.

"What's going on? Why didn't those guys hesitate at all? Shouldn't they carefully examine each image before making such an important choice?" asked Lingbao Tianzun, stunned by how swiftly the others moved.

"Isn't it obvious?" replied Yuanshi Tianzun, shaking his head. "These geniuses come from supreme races, many with gods standing behind them. With such support, they naturally have a far deeper understanding of the Hall of Enlightenment than we do.

I'm sure their elders gave them clear instructions before they even set foot in Chaos City—what to do, which path to take, and which Chaos Monument to seek out."

"That's so unfair..." Lingbao Tianzun clenched his fists. There was a huge gap between those with guidance and those without. For Quasi-Saints like them from the Prehistoric World, unfamiliar with this place, it felt like walking blind.

Indeed, while every Chaos Monument pointed to the Dao, those created by powerful gods undoubtedly held superior insights. But without any experienced mentors to offer direction, how could they possibly compete with the other geniuses?

They were already falling behind.

The same could be said for geniuses from weaker races in other Great Worlds. Without a god behind their bloodline, they had no idea which Chaos Monuments were better. They, too, wandered in confusion.

"Take it easy."

Seeing their unease, God General Yi spoke again, "Within the Hall of Enlightenment, the strongest Chaos Monument is not always the best. The most suitable one is.

As you view the illustrations, if any resonate with the Dao you walk, that is the Chaos Monument meant for you."

"I understand."

Hearing those words, many geniuses nodded. It made sense. A Chaos Monument of supreme power was meaningless if it didn't align with their path. Without compatibility, they would learn nothing, missing the opportunity entirely.

"But what if we find a suitable one," Yuanshi Tianzun questioned, "yet wonder if an even better match lies ahead? One day is hardly enough time."

"That is your choice," replied God General Yi calmly. "If you're satisfied, stop. If not, keep searching. Life is a series of choices—each one shaping your future. This, too, is part of your trial."

Silence fell among the geniuses. They now understood that this process—the act of choosing—was being closely watched by many gods.

How they chose, how they searched, their attitude and resolve... all would be laid bare.

This was more than a selection.

It was a test.
