After hearing this, Xu Yuan, who had been silent, finally understood the real HIM's thoughts.
Xu Yuan originally thought this was a competition between him and the other two HIMs. But unexpectedly, the real HIM let all factions of the world participate.
But that also made sense. In the real HIM's eyes, all are equal. He wanted to find the most suitable god.
That person could be a version of himself from another time or dimension. Could be the person he chose. Could be a player, a monster, even an animal.
Xu Yuan, Tyrant HIM, and Fan Village HIM were like the real HIM's seeded contestants.
Naturally, the real HIM favored these three more. But he couldn't exclude the possibility that someone more suitable than them existed in this world.
Those other 'outsiders' were the real HIM's backup candidates.
Among those backups, there might be a dark horse.
The real HIM can only make the final judgment based on the results of the trial.
It must be said, the real HIM is still quite fair when it comes to handing over divine authority.
Although he does have some selfish intentions, pulling versions of himself from different dimensions and the Xu Yuan he chose into the competition, this selfishness, however, is not really blameworthy.
A high-level being like the real HIM, who possesses great power, is naturally extremely confident in himself. He naturally also believes in the strength of himself from different dimensions and different times.
So his selfishness is merely about selecting those he values, those who can take on his entrusted mission.
To put it plainly, he's just picking high-quality contestants he's confident about.
But he also won't ignore the possibility of a dark horse existing in this world.
Upon hearing the real HIM's words, Tyrant HIM, Fan Village HIM, and Xu Yuan had no objections.
Though the three of them clearly knew they would undergo the trial as ordinary people, there might be many opponents in the trial, and the exact content of the trial was still unclear.
But all three wore expressions of being confident of victory. From their expressions alone, one could see why the real HIM had chosen them.
True strong individuals always maintain enough confidence in the face of any trial. And their confidence doesn't come from arrogance, but because their own abilities are strong enough to handle any predicament.
But thinking about it, it's quite normal, Xu Yuan, Tyrant HIM, and Fan Village HIM.
Among the three of them, regardless of who, they had all fought their way through difficulties in their own worlds.
They were all beings who had weathered great storms.
Upon hearing the real HIM's words, the three looked at each other, and then Tyrant HIM was the first to ask, "What is the content of the trial?"
Upon hearing Tyrant HIM's question, the real HIM waved his hand.
The area below instantly turned into a miniature real-scene map. Then, several small figures wearing clothes of different colors appeared on the real-scene map.
"When the trial begins, you will enter the trial field as ordinary players. You will be dispersed onto islands of different terrains for the trial."
As the real HIM finished speaking, those little figures wearing different colored clothes were dispersed onto various islands.
"You can consider this place as the most primitive world, and you are the first batch of survivors in this world. You can build your own civilization and regime on the islands."
After saying this, the real HIM looked at the three and continued.
"Of course, when different factions exist in the world, all sorts of conflicts and wars will arise. And what you must do is maintain the operation of this small world and make this world 'peaceful.'"
Tyrant HIM's understanding of the trial content could be said to be very reserved.
Though everyone heard the same content, their interpretations led to completely different understandings.
In Tyrant HIM's mind, his interpretation of the real HIM's words was this, if different factions exist in this world, there will be war. To make this world peaceful, one must stand at the very top of the world. Only when everyone is in the same faction can the world become peaceful.
Fan Village HIM's understanding of the trial content was a bit deeper than Tyrant HIM's. Though he couldn't truly empathize with the real HIM yet, as the god of Fan Village, he could roughly guess some of the real HIM's thoughts.
In the world of Fan Village, the "peace" he desired was to have everyone share the same brain. But now it seems that this method might not be feasible.
Regarding this trial world created by the real HIM, to bring peace to this world, the root cause of chaos must be extinguished from the source.
Basically, those who stir up trouble are most likely the leaders of a region. As long as these regional leaders become your people, chaos will no longer arise.
Though the two had some changes in their thinking, they did not realize that they were still stuck in their original ideas.
Tyrant HIM thought about developing himself and then using force to suppress others.
Fan Village HIM thought about unifying the thoughts of all leaders.
They were merely doing the same things in a different place. The only difference might be in their methods of handling things.
A person's mindset is very difficult to change.
The real HIM had already tried to enlighten them many times before. But they had not really understood or digested it.
At this moment, both Tyrant HIM and Fan Village HIM already had strategies to face the trial. But Xu Yuan on the side was feeling a bit troubled.
It must be said, this trial set by the real HIM is truly difficult. It's not as simple as the real HIM described.
To make the trial world appear peaceful on the surface is actually very easy. Either stand at the top of the world and suppress everything with force, or control thoughts and put spiritual shackles on everyone. But clearly, neither of these two methods will work.
Xu Yuan, having a god's-eye view, understood very well. Even if these two methods could bring peace, that so-called peace would only be superficial.
Forceful suppression might bring momentary peace. But in this world, everyone is equal, all are ordinary players. No one has any special abilities, so naturally no one has the ability to suppress all players.
Controlling thoughts is even more unrealistic. Humans are greedy, especially players. The real HIM wants them to participate, so he will naturally offer the conditions players desire.
Though Xu Yuan didn't know what form the trial would take, but no matter what, to players, this trial is just a dungeon or a MOD.
If their interests are threatened, players will definitely fight to the bitter end.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan couldn't help but sigh deeply. 'He really did just throw the hardest problem directly to us…'
Probably even the real HIM doesn't have a good strategy to bring peace to the world. That's why he set up this trial to find the most suitable god.
After all, this trial world is like a microcosm of the game world.
The real HIM also said that all life forms in the game world would participate. This is basically a small-scale social experiment.
Whoever can skillfully operate this small world can effortlessly run the entire game world.
Xu Yuan thought for a long time, but still couldn't find the most suitable method. Seeing this, he had no choice but to give up for now.
'Still need to first ask about the winning conditions of those 'outsiders' who entered the trial before figuring something out…'
Since the trial includes "outsiders" as the real HIM said, there must be players, even monsters and villagers.
Since the real HIM places such importance on this trial, it definitely won't be random selection. He should have set some conditions for participation. And the trial content each "outsider" receives likely won't be the same as theirs.
After all, the real HIM wants to conduct a world simulation experiment, not watch a divine domain competition. He definitely wouldn't let every "outsider" have the idea of ruling this world.
Each person should have a role to play. So to win this trial, for now, the only way is to focus on these "outsiders"...
After the real HIM revealed the trial content, Tyrant HIM, Fan Village HIM, and Xu Yuan all fell into deep thought.
They each started forming rough plans for the trial.
After a while, Fan Village HIM broke the silence.
"We are entering the trial as ordinary players. So, does that mean each of us only has one chance?"
Fan Village HIM's question was quite reserved, in fact, what he really wanted to ask was, do we each only have one life?
Once dead, you're out with no respawn.
Hearing Fan Village HIM's question, the real HIM nodded, confirming his guess.
"Of course. Everyone is the same as you, only one chance."
Hearing the real HIM's answer, the three of them felt a bit of pressure.
As the saying goes, going from frugal to extravagant is easy, but from extravagant to frugal is hard.
Suddenly having their powerful strength reset to zero and starting from scratch, with no cheats at all, this is indeed a trial for them.
But for Xu Yuan, it's actually fine. After all, he also started with just one life, stumbling along the way. He even nearly fell to a creeper back then.
Moreover, Xu Yuan has eight years of gaming experience and a deep understanding of games..Starting from zero as a player is no challenge for him.
Xu Yuan thought for a moment. Now that the trial rules are all clear, and there's nothing more he needs to ask, he turned to the real HIM and asked, "When does the trial start?"
