The white figure whose face could not be seen said, "Let me explain first, don't interrupt!"
Ye Xiao nodded and began to listen to whatever the white figure was saying.
The white figure said, "Yuan Shi De was one of the five people left alive from the Primordial Race. He was also the second most powerful one among them all. He first sealed all his abilities in this Divine Domain and later used every bit of his cultivation as well as physical body to go against the Heavens. He actually created something that could make people experience their own fate, the true fate."
"But there are some exceptions, just like you. You went against your fate because of the Second Universe. The second stage of the First Trial is to let a person experience their own fate, from beginning to the end. I'll say once again, from beginning to the end!"
"From beginning to the end?" Ye Xiao muttered and when he understood the meaning behind these words, his eyes opened wide in shock. He opened his mouth to say something but no voice came out of it. Only his lips trembled from time to time as if he wanted to say something but could not say it. He was so shocked that he could not even let out a single word from his mouth.
As if the White Figure knew what Ye Xiao wanted to say, it nodded its faceless head and said, "You should have already guessed the meaning behind these words, but I'll say it out loud for you. The thing that Yuan Shi De created could go against the will of the Heavens and let a person experience their entire life, whatever their fate is to offer them, the thing created by Yuan Shi De could let them experience everything."
"It also meant that if a person were to take the Second Trial, he could experience his entire life, not to mention the past and the present, even the future that the person has yet to experience."
"You can think about it; if a person were to experience everything he would have to go through in the future, what will happen?"
"If his future was bright, he'll try to make it more bright using the knowledge of future and the same will go if that person's future was to sink down in the endless sea of time without achieving anything great."
"Let's say; if a man's fate is to die by the betrayal of his close friend, but that man went through his entire life through the second stage of the First Trial, knowing everything about it. Tell me, what will happen then?"
Ye Xiao did not even need to think as he answered, "That man will either kill his close friend or break his friendship, not to have anything to do with each other. At worst, he'll simply run away somewhere unknown so that he could avoid his fate of dying because of his best friend's betrayal."
"Exactly!" The White Figure nodded and again said, "This was only one of the examples, there are many things that could happen if a person were to know the future. For example, if a great treasure appeared somewhere and was taken away by someone else because it was his fortuitous encounter and fate, because one knows the future, he'll simply wait for the treasure to appear at the specific place and take it for himself after its appearance, defying his fate and stealing someone else's!"
Ye Xiao nodded his head, understanding everything. It was really a heaven-defying stage created by Yuan Shi De. But Ye Xiao was also happy that he had experienced many things inside this stage of trial and everything was real. Now, the future was easy to live, at least on the Upper Realm.
The White Figure stopped for a few seconds and said, "This was something that defied the will of heavens, trying to overrule the rule it has written, causing the Heavens to be enraged and the Heavens' Punishment descended, causing the Upper Realm to shatter."
"Wait..." Ye Xiao interrupted the White Figure in the middle again and said, "I'm sorry for interrupting but I am really confused here. Wasn't the Upper Realm and Divine Realm shattered after the war of Primordial Era, between the two Universes?"
The White Figure replied with emotions in its voice: "It is not like that, in that war, many things happened and many races were destroyed. The Primordial Race was only one of such races and the strongest one at that. In that war, the Heavens were divided into three realms. They are the Lower Realm, the Upper Realm, and the Divine Realm."
"The Upper Realm was the only one among the three realms that was nothing but a huge piece of land. It was actually a single land that shattered into many worlds because of the Heavens' Punishment which descended to destroy the heaven-defying creation of Yuan Shi De. The worlds of Upper Realm that you know today are actually pieces of the Upper Realm after the war of Primordial Era."
Ye Xiao took a deep breath. The information he stumbled upon here was too much for him to digest in a short period of time. He kept taking deep breaths to calm his heart down but his heart kept going against his will and kept throbbing hard.
The White Figure saw this and said, "You should rest now."
"Wait, I still have something I need to ask you!"
The White Figure shook his head and replied, "Not now, you can ask me after passing the Third Stage of the First Trial!"
Saying this, the White Figure vanished and appeared again after half an hour of time.
Then he sent Ye Xiao for the third trial.

Ye Xiao appeared in another space. This time, Ye Xiao appeared in a big hall supported by four extremely big pillars. There were strange runes on the pillar, causing the pillar to shine golden.
In the middle of the room, there was an altar and on top of the altar, there was a figure kneeling.
Ye Xiao noticed that this figure was just the White Figure, without any face and it was also extremely difficult to say if it was a male or female. What made it different from the White Figure was that this figure was not moving and was entirely grey in colour.
To take a closer look, just as Ye Xiao stepped forward, the grey figure stood up, and then its body structure started to change. Very soon, at the place of the grey figure, a young man appeared.
This young man was Ye Xiao.
Actually, this young man was Ye Xiao's copy. It was the grey figure from before.
Ye Xiao remembered what the Third Stage of the First Trial was about. In the Third Stage of the First Trial, Ye Xiao has to fight against himself.
The fight between the two started the moment the second Ye Xiao appeared. It was the first one to take action.
After fighting for half an hour, Ye Xiao was still surprised because this duplicate of his was using all the abilities and techniques that belonged to him.
Yes!
The duplicate Ye Xiao could also use every ability that Ye Xiao could use, then be it the abilities that he had gotten from the ancestral dragons. This was really surprising.
It also had the Sea Dragon Spear, it could also execute Dragon Shattering The Heavens and the Eye of Destruction.
The most terrifying thing was that the duplicate Ye Xiao don't need to worry about energy consumption. After the fight continued for more than four hours, Ye Xiao started to show signs of tiredness. But the duplicate Ye Xiao was still in high spirits.
Ye Xiao could not think of anything through which he could kill this duplicate Ye Xiao and pass the Third Stage of the First Trial.
"What could I do to defeat my duplicate?"
Ye Xiao was really annoyed. He could not actually think of a single way through which he could defeat his duplicate.
He knew his own strength and also weaknesses. And everything about him was the same for everything about his duplicate. He wanted to use those reasons to defeat his duplicate but the result was negative. His every move was answered by his duplicate with a different move.
It was no wonder that very few people managed to pass the First Trial and countless of them died. Every Stage of the Trial was more difficult than the previous one.
"Fighting against myself is really too difficult. It is no wonder why Pygon told me that in the Third Stage of the First Trial, I have to win against myself before I could pass the First Trial!" Ye Xiao muttered in his heart.
It was the first time Ye Xiao was fighting against himself and he did not know how to defeat himself.
But suddenly, as if Ye Xiao thought of something, his eyes sparkled with light.
