Just when Hao Ren was very confused and wanted to touch the stone statue, the stone statue seemed to come alive, which scared Hao Ren. He took a few steps to the conditioned reflex, and only the stone statue opened its mouth:

"A passerby, if you can come here so soon, you must be a civilized warrior with strong force. However, having force alone is not enough to be the lord of the civilized fortress. Next, I will ask you some questions and please answer them seriously."

The sound is very friendly, but it is a bit like it was set up in advance. I guess all the level passers-by said this when they arrived here.

"Would you like," Hao Ren said very politely.

"The first question, who are you?"

Hum? Could it be those three questions? Hao Ren's face twitched slightly and he thought to himself.

"I am me, I am the only one in this world." Hao Ren said confidently.

This sentence sounds a bit like the speech of a middle-aged boy on Earth’s Internet, but here, Hao Ren still said it with great confidence.

"Congratulations on passing the 11th level. I will ask you the second question next." The old man in the stone statue continued without any trouble.

"Where are you from?"

"I came from all living beings in the earth's civilization." Hao Ren said without hesitation.

"Congratulations on passing the 12th level, please listen to the following questions."

"Where are you going?"

"I want to lead all living beings on earth to ascend to the dimensional world." Hao Ren replied.

The three questions, without any stuttering or hesitation, blurted out directly, demonstrating Hao Ren's confidence, and at the same time, he did exactly that.

"There is no unified answer to these three questions, but you must have inertia, you must have your own thinking and attitude towards life. This is the excellent quality that the Lord of the Civilized Fortress needs to possess. Your answer is the best and most satisfactory answer I have heard so far. Congratulations on passing the 13th level."

This time, the voice of the old man in the stone statue was a little different. It seemed that he was no longer the formulaic ones before, but there was a trace of emotion inside, causing some turmoil.

"Senior, I'm sorry." Hao Ren said modestly.

"Please listen to the following question." The old man in the stone statue continued.

"In words you can understand on earth, there is an ordinary person on the left and 10 ordinary people on the right. At this time, the train has arrived here, and it is very fast and there is no time to brake. As the driver, what choice will you make? The first option hits the one person, and the second option hits the ten people." asked the old man in the stone statue.

"Crash that person." Hao Ren said without hesitation.

"Why don't you hit those ten people? Ten people's lives are life. Is it a person's lives not a life? Or why don't you just not operate and leave it to fate, at least reduce the guilt in your heart?"

The tone of the old man in the stone statue sounded very puzzled.

I just don’t know if the answer is confused, or the answer is so straightforward for the human in front of me?

"As an ordinary person, you can think about these issues, but as the lord of the fortress of civilization, you must consider what is most beneficial to civilization. Obviously, leaving ten people is more beneficial to civilization." Hao Ren said.

From the old man's previous statement, Hao Ren has already figured out some clues. This is a test of the lord of the fortress of civilization, so the answer must be related to this.

When facing an unavoidable dilemma and a difficult choice, you must give up something, even if you are reluctant to give up, even if your heart is cut off.

"Can I ask you a question?" Hao Ren hesitated for a moment and asked back.

This is also his temptation to test whether the old man in the stone statue is a real person or a program. Of course, it may also be some kind of life with wisdom, such as a spirit of the weapon, a smart brain, etc.

"You asked me a question, and I can answer you a question within the rules." The old man in the stone statue thought for a while and said.

"Who are you, or who are you?" Hao Ren asked, and his heart was beating faster and his adrenaline was almost over.

"If you can become the lord of the fortress of civilization, you will have a certain chance to see us in the future, and you may become us." The old man pondered for a while and smiled.

"Thank you for your answer." Hao Ren said gratefully. He was sure that this stone statue was a real person, or a clone controlled by the real person behind it.

"Then let's continue. Congratulations on passing level 14, please answer the last question."

"It's the question just now. If there is a scientist tied to the track on the left and ten ordinary people tied to the right, how do you choose?" The old man in the stone statue continued to ask.

"Save the scientist and crash into those ten people." Hao Ren said. Although this was his answer, his heart was a little painful.

"What's the reason?" asked the old man in the stone statue. At this time, the old man in the stone statue seemed to have no smile as before.

"Like the answer above, keeping scientists is more helpful to civilization."

"Hey, all beings are equal, which is easy to say, but difficult to do. Congratulations on passing the 15th level. Although I don't like this answer, you will be a qualified lord of a civilized fortress." said the old man in the stone statue.

"Can I ask you another question?" Hao Ren said with some greed.

The old man in the stone statue was obviously a little impatient, especially after the above question, it was obvious that Hao Ren was not very fond of his appetite.

"Tell me." But the old man in the stone statue did not refuse.

"What are those monsters?" Hao Ren asked.

This time he did not ask those difficult questions, because he saw the old man's unhappiness. He might not answer those questions, but instead some simple questions, and he was likely to know the answer from him.

"I know what you want to know, and it's okay to tell you. Anyway, after the civilization fortress is opened, you will know that it is an evil spirit born from the endless abyss, absorbing the negative energy of the heavens. They have a unified name, the Abyss Demon Clan."

"Okay, please leave the palace and enter the next level. Good luck." After saying that, the stone statue disappeared, and a gate appeared behind the palace.

Hao Ren walked towards the gate with a slightly heavy mood. After crossing the gate, he came to the bridge again. The same white mist dissipated after he appeared.

At the same time, ten abyss demons appeared.

The only difference from the previous Abyss Demons is that the Abyss Demons this time are a little different. The crystals on their eyebrows are not light green, but black, which are obviously much stronger than the previous Abyss Demons.

"Humans, it is your misfortune to encounter us. We will enjoy your body, children, attack." The leader of the Abyss Demons issued an order.

Hao Ren did not dare to be careless and directly used all his strength, and then there was nothing left.

In just five seconds, Hao Ren solved these ten guys.

"Uh, it's not that strong, it's almost the strength that has just entered the Peeping Realm." Hao Ren was able to sense his opponent's strength from the battle with his opponent.

"Congratulations on passing the 16th level and becoming a strong competitor to the Lord of the Black Iron-level Civilization Fortress. Currently, 578,214 people around the world have passed the level here. Do you want to continue?"

"Continue." Hao Ren said without hesitation.

As soon as he finished speaking, Hao Ren disappeared on the bridge and appeared again. He was already in a very luxurious and majestic palace.

There were dozens of ministers wearing ancient official robes standing in front of him, and there was also an eunuch next to him. Hao Ren forced himself to calm down and looked down. He found himself sitting on a throne.

And a large group of ministers below were saluting him: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"What's going on?" Hao Ren was puzzled.

Have you traveled through time?

No, aren't you passing the level?

"The passerby, you are now the monarch of the Great Chu Kingdom. This is a real small world, not a illusion. The Great Chu Kingdom just experienced a national war and was greatly damaged, but he won 5.8 years of peace with his strength. You have 5.8 years to choose to be a foolish monarch and spend this time very happily, or you can choose to become a wise monarch."

"5.8 years pass in a flash, and it only takes one second for the earth, so don't worry about time."

These words made Hao Ren feel a little relieved, and he thought about it. Otherwise, how could so many people have been on the list and passed so many levels after three days of retreat?

"In the end, we will rate you based on your behavior and the national strength of the Great Chu State, with a score of 20 points and a score of 17 levels, a score of 30 points and a score of 18 levels and so on. If you have a score of 90 or above, you can continue to the subsequent levels. This level tests whether the passer has the ability to govern the Lord of the Civilized Fortress."

"After 90 points, every point higher, you can get a certain level-break reward. The higher the score, the higher the reward."

"Good luck."

"Your Majesty." Just as Hao Ren was stunned to read the information, the little yellow gate next to him whispered.

"Flat." Hao Ren has already received the memory of this body.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The king of the Great Chu, Chu Huaiyu, was 18 years old and had just succeeded to the throne for more than a month. The previous emperor died in the national war, but the enemy country was also seriously injured and unable to commit another crime, so he could get 5.8 years of breathing time.

After the court meeting, Hao Ren returned to his bedroom and fell into deep thought.

Before his practice, he was just an ordinary person. Although he founded several top giants, he was basically the boss and did not participate in management. His abilities in this area were relatively weak.

Fortunately, with twenty years, my learning ability is the best in the world, and I believe this round of challenges is not too difficult for me.

At this time, he probably guessed why those who passed the level can reach such a high position. This civilization fortress is choosing the lord of the fortress, so the test of various abilities in this area.

The first ten levels are different from the Abyss Demons in the 16th level. Hao Ren thought of the cultivation of genetic warriors, cultivation of mysteries, and the cultivation of the Force. Does it mean that the realms of those Abyss Demons are actually the same, but the routes of practice are different or the qualities are different, just like the qi sea is divided into qualities, so does the Abyss Demons also have this problem?

Due to different qualities or routes, there are differences in strengths of the same realm.

If this is the case, it means that the abyss demons faced by the level passer are actually from the same realm.

Thinking of this, Hao Ren recalled the names on the list.

It was surprisingly discovered that those people, at least a few people he knew, were all practicing the Force, no Xuan Cultivation, no Genetic Warriors, of course, there were only 6 people he knew. This problem could be confirmed by waiting for this pass to be completed and then going back to investigate.
