Looking at the crack that suddenly appeared before her, and the eyes burning with pale blue flas within it.
Shang Siteng remained extrely calm.
"These bubbles scattered on both sides of the road are ownerless objects anyway."
"Moreover, how can the matters of scholars be called stealing?"
"Ha. Such eloquence. You stole the mory, which ans you accepted the rules of this place." the eye spoke.
As soon as it finished speaking, the ground beneath Shang Siteng’s feet began to shake violently.
The surrounding Fangzhang Immortal Mountain crumbled inch by inch, replaced by a massive, grim Bronze Gate.
The patterns engraved on the gate are precisely that eye burning in the void.
In the next second, the eye turned into light and rged into the gate.
Soon after, the ground on which Shang Siteng stood was gradually lifted, with the soil and sparse vegetation on it peeling away, revealing its true form underneath.
It was actually a smooth and flat surface!
Shang Siteng also saw that beneath the standing Bronze Gate, there was similarly a smooth and flat surface.
They faced each other, being perfectly symtrical.
At the center was an enormous fulcrum bearing, with equally long arms extending out to hold the surfaces on both sides.
From an external view, this entire structure closely resembled an ancient balance scale!
Watching this scene, Shang Siteng realized clearly that she had fallen into a trap carefully laid long ago.
"I am a fairy delivering the invitation on behalf of the Queen Mother of the West, you..." Her words stopped abruptly.
Because she thought of sothing.
Emperor Chong’en opposed and doubted the grand banquet for the Flat Peaches held by the Queen Mother of the West.
The invitation from the Queen Mother of the West might be an opportunity for others to break through to sainthood, a grace, but not for him.
If not, why would he show gratitude and give a gift back in return?
No wonder Emperor Chong’en ignored from the start.
"Looks like you’ve figured it out."
The eye on the Bronze Gate, burning with pale blue flas, spoke eerily.
"In that case, obediently accept the punishnt of a Stealer of Knowledge!"
"As you see, this is a balance. The two ends are you and . Next, we will play a little ga according to the rules."
"Each of us will present a ’knowledge mory’ and place it on the balance, letting it judge which is lighter or heavier. Once the judgnt is complete, the side the balance tilts towards will claim the knowledge mory of the failing side."
The rules themselves are not complicated.
But from the confident deanor of the Bronze Gate, it’s clear that this isn’t its first ti doing such a thing.
It likely has many ’hefty’ knowledge mories, allowing it to dominate in this balance ga.
Shang Siteng glanced at her feet, then at the confident Bronze Gate.
In the end, she nodded slightly in agreent.
If it was a comparison of sothing else, she might hesitate, but if it’s a knowledge mory...
After both sides confird, Shang Siteng was drawn into a mysterious and chaotic state.
In this state, she could clearly feel her own knowledge mories.
They were "materialized" into clusters of white light balls, stacked in her sea of consciousness.
Shang Siteng walked into them with a calm expression, carefully selecting among them.
After a while, she picked out a mory light ball, and at the sa ti, the Bronze Gate opened its mouth to release a mory light ball.
Once the mory light balls were placed on both ends of the balance, the previously still balance began to sway.
The balance wavered up and down, and Shang Siteng and the Bronze Gate watched each other rise and fall on the balance.
At this mont, the slightly proud voice of the Bronze Gate sounded from the opposite side: "Hahaha, you’re bound to lose!"
"The judgnt of knowledge mory is determined based on the participants themselves. The more knowledge one has, if the knowledge mory offered overlaps with one’s existing knowledge, then its weight will be greatly discounted!"
The Bronze Gate had played this ga many tis.
Shang Siteng was not its first opponent.
Over countless years, the Bronze Gate had won nurous tis, accumulating countless unknown knowledge and secrets.
This weight of knowledge was sufficient to make it invincible in this balance ga!
Soon, the swaying balance began to tilt distinctly.
It seems the rules had weighed the ’chips’ of both parties.
At this point, an unexpected scene unfolded for the Bronze Gate.
The balance on which Shang Siteng stood suddenly dropped sharply, while the one supporting the Bronze Gate tipped up high.
The winner is decided!
Shang Siteng, along with the knowledge mory she provided, won this round of the balance ga!
"This, this is impossible!" shouted the eye embedded in the Bronze Gate in exasperation, "This is impossible! What kind of mory did you provide to surpass the knowledge mory I offered?!"
At this mont, the eye in the Bronze Gate clearly couldn’t accept defeat.
It was both exasperated and consud by an agonizing curiosity.
Because it was the loser, it could not read the knowledge mory offered by Shang Siteng, which made it even more eager and curious about what exactly Shang Siteng’s knowledge mory contained!
As for Shang Siteng.
By this ti, she had already closed her eyes again.
Because the balance ga had deed her victorious, the mory light ball offered by the Bronze Gate’s eye was integrated into her sea of consciousness.
The vast amount of knowledge information surged into her sea of consciousness like a torrent of mories, stirring up waves.
Fortunately, this level of knowledge information was still bearable for Shang Siteng, the next designated leader of Can Shang Company, who was appointed captain and could rival her ancestor Shang Jianyue in talent, as the Director of the Great Xia Research Institute.
After a while, she opened her eyes.
The knowledge mory provided by the Bronze Gate belonged to the cultivation insights of the Kunlun Twins in this Fruit World, along with many unique cultivation thods.
For Shang Siteng, these cultivation thods were not suitable for herself, at most broadening her horizons and providing so insight.
And what she provided was a complete set of theoretical knowledge organized by Can Shang Company, related to the developnt of technological civilization.
It wasn’t just the Bronze Gate, even for her now, it wasn’t certain she could fully morize it in a short ti.
This was equivalent to the weight of a civilization of power!
"No, no way, no way! I underestimated you, let’s go another round!"
The eye of the Bronze Gate screeched, issuing a challenge to Shang Siteng, "Let’s do it again, this ti, I will provide a mory of secrets heavy enough, I must win!"
The eye of the Bronze Gate’s behavior easily reminded Shang Siteng of those gamblers who are red-eyed from losing.
She had no reason to refuse, nodding slightly:
"Very well, let’s continue."
