Qin Feng’s guess! The interested gravekeeper!
The Mythic Order—Profit and Loss Field.
Its effect is to reduce the duration of enemy buffs within a 1000-meter radius by 80%, and increase the duration of its own buffs by 400%.
This Order effect isn't particularly effective for Qin Feng.
Because Qin Feng already has a 3235% increase in buff duration, adding this 400% only provides an average benefit.
But…
Osirio doesn't have it yet!
The old dragon's sacrifice effect only lasts for ten minutes; if he truly wants to reach maximum movement speed, the duration of his buffs must be extended.
Furthermore, Osirio, with the 'Civilization Extinguisher' template, possesses the passive skill 'civilization extinction – Order Craving,' allowing him to inherit all of Qin Feng's Own Order!
"It's a good thing I've been saving my heart of order – Reincarnation lately."
"I can just absorb this Order into my Own Order."
The reason Qin Feng had been saving his heart of order was precisely for moments like this, to be able to adapt and make adjustments to his abilities.
"My tenth Own Order, Profit and Loss Field!"
Qin Feng's buff duration bonus directly increased from 3235% to 3635%!
Moreover, this is an Order effect, which passively takes effect long-term without needing to be activated, unless Qin Feng actively 'temporarily disables' it, or its Order effect is counteracted by an enemy. Otherwise, enemies around Qin Feng will automatically have their buff duration shortened by 80%.
Most importantly, Osirio also inherited this Order effect.
This not only granted Osirio a 400% buff duration but also another layer of 20% damage reduction.
"Speed Challenge…"
"Starts now!"
Qin Feng did not let Osirio appear directly. Instead, after selecting to start the challenge, he was teleported by the Guardian of the Tomb's Electronic Snake – Golden Lightning to the entrance of the Dragon God Remains.
He had been observing from afar before.
Now that he was closer, Qin Feng realized…
This was not just a ruin anymore!
It was clearly a planet tens of times larger than Blue Star!
Before, it was too far away, and Qin Feng's Original Shadow Perception couldn't cover it.
But now that he was closer…
Through Original Shadow Perception, Qin Feng could easily detect that the entire remains had a diameter of over seventy thousand kilometers!
This diameter was already five or six times that of Blue Star.
It was as if Qin Feng had been directly teleported to the surface of this planet, already feeling the gravity of the entire colossal remains, which was clearly several times stronger than Blue Star's gravity.
Below Qin Feng was a giant pit, several tens of kilometers in diameter, with a row of colossal fangs growing within the dark pit. This was the mouth of this Primal-level creature, and also the starting point of the speed challenge.
"This entire Dragon God Remains is the remains of a certain Primal-level creature, coiled together as a whole."
"The remains are about seventy-one thousand kilometers in diameter, but the interior is intricate and the paths winding. Could this be the interior of this Primal-level creature's body?"
"It's hard to imagine how long this creature would have been if it fully stretched out when it was alive?"
The remains of this Primal-level creature were now just white bones.
Between the white bones were the paths.
Qin Feng discovered that even his Original Shadow Perception could not penetrate these white bones to observe their interior; he could only detect their overall size…
Taking advantage of the time before it started, Qin Feng struck a giant fang with his blade.
—
– 0!

A damage number appeared. Clearly, the damage was zero, not ineffective, which meant…
He couldn't damage the remains because Qin Feng's stats weren't high enough, not because he was blocked by a mechanism.
"Are these the stats of a Primal-level creature?"
"I can't even break through the defenses of a mere remains!"
It seems my stats aren't strong enough yet!
Qin Feng thought to himself.
Immediately after, he was ready for a 'test run,' and directly clicked 'Start' on the challenge panel!
As the countdown of three-two-one began…
Black and White wings spread behind Qin Feng, carrying him instantly into the skull of the Dragon God Remains!
Although this first test run determined the challenger's base points, Qin Feng did not intend to use his full strength.
Because using full strength in this test run would be risky!
He didn't even activate the 'Man in the Shadows' special effect he had just acquired, his speed was only 339 kilometers per second, just shy of a thousand times the speed of sound.
After entering the remains, Qin Feng quickly discovered that the paths inside the remains were indeed full of sharp turns, winding around and around…
"This Path to the End challenge actually uses these Primal-level remains as the challenge ground."
"Isn't that a bit disrespectful to this Dragon God?"
"Or did this Dragon God commit some grave error?"
Qin Feng flew while pondering some irrelevant thoughts…
Since there were no obstacles during the first test flight, Qin Feng only needed to fly along the path. Although it was winding, with Qin Feng's current attributes, his reaction speed was sufficient; he didn't even need to slow down.
Flying at top speed, drifting through turns!
Nearly half an hour later, Qin Feng flew out from the tail of the Dragon God Remains, and the test run ended!
After this flight, Qin Feng estimated that the entire speed challenge was approximately 497,000 kilometers, and his test run time was 24 minutes and 54 seconds.
Soon, Qin Feng was teleported back to the entrance of the Dragon God Remains.
Then, the base score was revealed. Qin Feng's performance earned him 68,212 base points.
This base score alone already placed him in the top hundred on the overall leaderboard for this stage of the Path to the End!
"Now, as long as I win two matches, and then factor in the game time weighting, won't I easily come first?"
"The crucial point is that I must win the upcoming speed races!"
Qin Feng was quite confident about this.
Because, if there truly was a competitor participating in the speed race with him simultaneously… Qin Feng didn't believe the opponent's speed at level 60 could match his own!
Qin Feng's probability of winning was infinitely close to one hundred percent.
However, Qin Feng, after being reminded by the Scarlet Elf, considered another possibility.
That is…
Is it possible that there is no other competitor in this challenge at all?
"In this stage of the Path to the End, the most likely scenario is that my competitor is myself!"
"Because before the official speed race, a test run must be conducted first."
"The result of this test run is very likely the time that one needs to surpass!"
If, in the subsequent official speed race, the challenger's performance is worse than their test run performance, and they fail twice consecutively, this challenge will be a failure!
Of course.
In such a scenario, if the challenger fails the first speed race and sees the so-called 'competitor's' time, they would certainly realize immediately that the competitor was actually their own test run performance…
But realizing it at that point would be a bit late.
Because in most cases, challengers will unleash their fastest speed during the 'test run' to strive for the highest base score!
Only Qin Feng!
Because he had absolute confidence in his speed, he didn't need to exert his full strength to easily achieve the best time in the history of this challenge.
So, the only thing Qin Feng had to consider was ensuring his speed challenge was a best-of-three, with 100% success!
"If my guess is correct, then in the upcoming first speed race, my time needs to be faster than 24 minutes and 54 seconds."
"Osirio, it's up to you!"
Qin Feng never expected that it would actually come down to Osirio's luck.
This entire journey is not short; if Osirio is lucky, his speed could be nearly twice as fast!
But even if Osirio isn't lucky, his speed will still be faster than Qin Feng's recent speed, after all, that's over seven hundred kilometers per second compared to over three hundred kilometers per second.
Even if there are some slowdowns and obstacles in the official speed race, the difficulty won't be too great.
…
At the same time.
When Qin Feng completed his test run, he didn't know that in the distant starry sky, the mysterious 'Guardian of the Tomb,' dressed in colorful clothes with hair pointed like an ice cream cone on his head, had quietly opened his eyes.
"Such fast speed? Interesting."
"This result, if the game time does not exceed four years, as long as the challenge is successful, it will be first place!"
"However, the faster the first speed, the easier the challenge will fail…"
The Guardian of the Tomb watched Qin Feng in the distance with great interest, as if expecting a good show.
He, who had originally been completely uninterested in Qin Feng, was clearly attracted by the speed Qin Feng displayed during the test run. However, he did not realize that the upcoming Qin Feng would exhibit even more terrifying speed!
