Chapter 128 The Trial Floors



The Goblins' matter was handled quite easily as Cyrus was expecting to in the first place. He knew the presence of a Hobgoblin was nothing but good news for the goblin race since this meant they were capable of evolving into hobgoblins.

The Goblin Lord appointed by him was very restrained and respectful when Cyrus imparted a mortal rank cultivation manual directly to his brain. This cultivation manual was very suitable for the goblin race, and he knew it wouldn't be long before that hobgoblin would evolve into a real goblin lord with its help.

Once the Goblin race is fully under his control, he will move on with his plan for them. As for the magic beast, he leaves them alone as a food source for the people and goblins.

Speaking of the food source, it was the biggest problem since everyone was mortal. They needed food to sustain themselves.

Although the rations in Albert City would be enough to sustain those humans for about five to six months if used lavishly, but it wasn't a problem that could be overlooked.

As the Ruler of the Dimension, it was Cyrus's responsibility to stop this kind of situation from arising.

Cyrus was pretty sure once everyone started to cultivate Qi and reached higher levels, the food would become nothing but a distant memory, and everyone will turn toward Qi culinary arts, which were the real and beneficial food for cultivators.

But he knew to reach that level. They were still far away. If it was a cultivation world, then it won't be a problem since he didn't need to introduce and explain everything. But the problem was it wasn't a cultivation world, and he needed to start from the beginning.

Nevertheless, for now, Cyrus decided to focus on two things, the imperil city's first circle construction and completing the dimension evolution rank conditions. Although the 300 miles of land seemed a lot, for Cyrus, they were nothing but small.

But the only way to increase them was by evolving the dimension into higher ranks, and since he already knew how to do it, he didn't want to waste time.

Cyrus's main focus turned to the first two conditions, which were to nurture one Origin Lust Temple Priest and a hundred Origin Lust Temple Deacons. As for the third condition about the five million natives (dimension creatures), he can easily achieve it once he opens the dimension for the world.

But he didn't even touch this function as he wanted to make the dimension presentable first before he could open it for the world, not to mention strong and organized.

Cyrus returned with the ladies. No one seemed to notice them as the humans were now gathering in huge groups and discussing things among themselves about how they should proceed with Cyrus's tasks.

But no one dared to enter fifty meters around the dimension temple because Cyrus made it a forbidden area until the city was built.

"Alright, you five should be more than capable of passing the first-floor trial and achieving Origin Lust Sword Devotee Rank, which is the lowest rank of the temple.

"There are Worshiper Rank next, which you will get after passing the second-floor trial followed by Deacon and Priest, and the same rules applied; pass the corresponding floor trial if you want to achieve these ranks.

"The higher rank you will have, the more benefits you will get from the temple. Rita and Hilda, since you are already Qi cultivators and Rita have learned the longest from me, don't fail, or I'll be very disappointed.

"As for you three, I have no demand from you. Just entering the temple is enough, and I'll reward you all with cultivation techniques. Now if you four have any questions, you may ask." Cyrus smilingly said.

Rita's eyes winded when she didn't give a chance to speak at all, and she felt perplexed but kept her mouth shut.

"I like this training very much!" Eve was extremely pleased by Rita's indignation expression.

Hilda remained silent while her eyes were filled with eagerness to start.

"C-can we know what the trials are about?" Carla finally spoke with a hesitant look.

"Truthfully speaking, I don't know. These trials are naturally formed with the temple, and I can't control them, but I'm pretty sure they won't be absurd considering your levels or the dimension." Cyrus coolly stated as he didn't need to hide this from his women as they might think he was making things difficult for them deliberately.

The trial floors' trials were not under his control, only the rewards of passing them. He didn't even know what kind of trials they had unless a trial taker appeared.

These five could be said to be the very first group, and Cyrus was also eager to see what kind of trial these floors have.

"Can we use our weapons?" Leo asked with a fighting spirit, and Leona was the same. One thing they were confident in was fighting.

"Let's find out." Cyrus no longer entertained any questions as they were meaningless since he didn't know himself what was inside. He might've overlooked this point.

"System, can they all take the trials together?" He inquired.

"[At bronze rank, ten people can enter a trial floor together.]"

Cyrus's lips curled up, "Then I want to open the trials floors, but also, I don't want to cause a commotion yet. Can I send them there personally without opening the doors of the temple?"

When Cyrus looked at the magnificent, colossal half-crimson and half-purple doors of the temple, he knew if he opened them, everyone would notice them as they were too hard not to get noticed.

But if he can avoid it, he will, as he didn't want to open them before the dimension was on track. They would only cause a distraction for women and resentment for men, which he didn't want at this stage.

"[If User didn't want the gates to open, then the participants can enter the first floor as long as they touched the entrance gates albeit the trial floor has to be opened as well.]"

[Do you want to open the Origin Lust Sword Temple Gates with such a setting?]

Cyrus chose to open the temple with the system's suggested setting without hesitation, as it was the thing he was looking for, and the system instantly complied.

"Alright, you guys just need to touch the door, and you'll appear in the first trial. I'll be watching you all and waiting for you in the temple." Cyrus smiled before he vanished from everyone's sight like a ghost.

"Senior, we should go." Hilda was first to regain her sense as said coldly said to Rita, who was still looking quite restful as she still wasn't given permission to speak.

"Hmph!" She could only grant at the twin sisters and then moved toward the colossal gates of the dimension with Hilda.

"Do you think they hate us?" Leo asked her sister softly while looking at Rita and Hilda's back in a wry tone.

"Are you afraid?" Leona teasingly chortled before her expression turned grim, "Even if they hate us, as long as Lord Lust doesn't hate us, no one can do anything to us. Besides, don't you remember Lord Lust announcing that anyone can be his Queen as long as they have talent?"

Leo's eyes instantly lit up as a faint blush appeared on her face, "You are right!"

Both sisters were riled up as they quickly headed toward the gates in high spirits.

Carla looked at those young girls while her eyes went sharp, 'If someone will be his next queen, that would be me…'

Cyrus appeared on his Ruler's throne at this moment as he tried to peer into the first floor, which was clearly not accessible before. But this time, he saw Rita, Hilda, Carla, Leo, and Leona standing in five different sections, which were completely white and 100x100 in size.

At this moment, they all heard an emotionless voice that belonged to non-other than the system.

"[Welcome to the Origin Lust Sword Temple First Floor Trial, Participant(s)!]

"[Requesting the Participant permission to register you with the Origin Lust Sword Temple Archive?]"

"[Please answer 'Yes' in case you agree to join the Origin Lust Sword Temple and want to continue]"

"[Please answer 'No' in case you do not want to join the Origin Lust Sword Temple and want to leave.]

"[NOTE: Please keep in mind that if you answered 'Yes' and pass the trial, you will never be able to leave the Origin Lust Sword Temple unless the Dimension is destroyed!]"

Cyrus's cocked an eyebrow when he heard the system's speech as he was not notified about this small context but remained silent and scrutinized the process.

The five ladies were also quite surprised, but they didn't think much about it and quickly answered 'yes.'

They would not be going to kick the life-changing opportunity right in the face. It was akin to shooting themselves right in the head. Then they instantly felt a stabbing pain in their heads, but only for a split second become they returned to normal.

At this moment, the system voice rang again when they were wondering what had just happened,

"[Your Spiritual Soul Signature has been registered in the Origin Lust Sword Temple Archive!]"
