The monolith’s interior was divided into 11 sections, with names of challengers above each section. There were a total of 10 regions, numbering from 1 to 10, and an empty area in the middle.
Soon, above each section, countless names would appear. To be more specific, about tens of thousands of names would be carved since they’d show the ranks of people coming from Huaxia. Those ranks would represent someone’s battle prowess.
Obviously, each section represented the challenge one would undertake. For example, a phase-1 evolutionary could challenge section 1 and so on. The middle area would show one’s overall battle prowess and talent; it was the most glorious list!
There were several monoliths all over the world leading to other spaces; clearly, a human couldn’t have created them, and they appeared out of thin air. Nobody knew how they were formed or appeared.
Chu Han was dragged into the first section’s entrance as he was a phase-1 evolutionary. Each section was would lead to a separate space with a variety of tests for the challengers. After completing the tests, the challenger’s power evaluation would be engraved for others to see in the future.
It was not only glorious to be listed in the rank list, but it also showed one’s value, especially for the top 100 rankers in the overall ranking list; everyone in it would receive the adoration of the masses. The next ones were the ranking lists of phase-10 and phase-9 respectively, but only a few people could reach those two superior lists since it would get harder to evolve, no matter if one was an evolutionary or an enhanced, like Chen Shaoye.
It should be mentioned that monoliths were everywhere in Huaxia; some of them would never disappear while others would fade and move to another place after an indefinite amount of time. They were like a mirage but they did exist in the world.
No scientific theory could explain how it was possible.
After Chu Han got into the monolith, the Meltdown System shocked him again. Its mechanical voice sounded suddenly, "The entrance of alternate dimension E0067 has been found. The system has successfully connected!"
Then, a strange voice, different from Meltdown’s sound, rang in his ears , "Phase-1 evolutionary, you meet the test’s conditions. Do you want to be tested?"
No matter if one was evolutionary or enhanced their level should be equivalent to the respective section. Chu Han had to choose section 1, in his left; common people, zombies, animals or people of different phase couldn’t enter. If they tried to force their way in, they would be hurt like the two cheetahs outside.
Chu Han was shocked with the two voices and didn’t move for a while. The reason he was shocked wasn’t E0067’s alternate dimension hidden in the monolith, but because of the fact that the Meltdown System could detect it!
Every monolith was different. Some would directly connect to the respective section, while some others would lead to alternate dimensions. In Chu Han’s previous life, someone had stumbled upon an alternate dimension by chance two years after the apocalypse. After that, everyone went into a frenzy with the monoliths again.
"Do you want to undertake the test?" The unknown mechanical voice sounded again interrupting Chu Han.
"Yes." Chu Han answered while tightening his grip on the Xiuluo ax.
The test score was divided into several grades. The phase-1 test was easy for him, but the most difficult one was the alternate dimension’s; its difficulty was level S and only the best phase-1 could undertake it.
The alternate dimension was different from the common tests in every section. The things gained from the alternate dimension could be brought out if one’s luck was good! Supposedly, the space connected with the monolith was real and the dimension was connected with Earth but no one knew its actual location. The researchers in the future still had no results after studying it for 10 years. But it was confirmed that the monoliths’ history that was longer than humanity’s.
Anything brought back from an alternate dimension was enough to make anyone rob and kill their owner.

At the same time, Chu Han was about to undertake the test, many other entrances had appeared all over Huaxia. Their sudden appearance shocked everyone!
In a place thousands of miles far from Shangjing’s base...
Everyone was staring with large eyes at the scene before them. A huge monolith rose up blocking the sun rising from the east. The huge monolith in the horizon seemed like a wall, and it was so majestic and imposing.
"What? What is that?"
"Let’s go and check it!"
"Are you mad? There are zombies outside!"
"Zombies are everywhere! It is unsafe!"
"I think I will regret it if I don’t go!"
Many people rushed out of the base and ran to the shocking monolith. After the apocalypse, people could easily accept anything ‘new’. The huge monolith appeared suddenly and arrogantly, so something good should be there!
In the base, many high-ranking people had gathered in a conference room. Some of them had rushed into the room with disheveled hair and dirty faces. Huaxia’s last leaders had an urgent meeting.
——————
Out of Ye Mo’s mansion near Shi City, a huge monolith had appeared next to the building.
Li Shirong, enjoying a summer fruit and drinking, was so shocked that she fell on the ground. She stared at the huge entrance, and then a bright glint flashed through the fifteen-year-old's eyes, yet had a ten-year-old's appearance. She asked Xiao Mengqi excitedly, "Sister, will they shoot a movie?"
Xiao Mengqi did not look at the little girl softly like always. Her countenance turned cold and her voice changed, "Stay here and I will go to check."
"Oh." Li Shirong nodded, "You should come back early."
"Yes." Xiao Mengqi’s calm voice sounded, before she reached her top speed.
Meanwhile, in Ye Mo’s underground base, the old man suddenly stopped asking his three apprentices to do things. He was shocked and took out a screen with the manor’s video feed.
"This?" Lu Hongsheng stared at his master who was like he had met a ghost, "What is it?"
"Master? What happened?"
Lu Hongsheng, Su Xing, and He Shang wiped their sweat and approached him. Looking at Ye Mo’s screen, the three men had different reactions.
"Are aliens invading?!" It was Lu Hongsheng.
"It is not scientific! It doesn’t make sense!" It was Su Xing.
"Sh*t! It’s really cool!" It was He Shang.
