Qin Siyang nodded. "Yeah. What else would it be?"
"...You're not joking, are you?"
The Sacrificial Giant Vine fell silent for several seconds, then said in a daze, "If you dare lie to me, the consequences will be severe!"
Qin Siyang spread his hands. "I'm not. I'm telling the truth."
"The truth? You discovered the path to awakening an origin sequence all by yourself?!"
"That's right."
The Sacrificial Giant Vine sounded a little flustered. "Oh no, I think I've said too much. Am I going to get scolded...?"
"Huh? Scolded?"
If the Sacrificial Giant Vine were willing to live inside the Safe Zone, it would be an unrivaled presence.
The muttering the Sacrificial Giant Vine transmitted into Qin Siyang's mind aroused his intense curiosity. What person-no, what being-could possibly scold the Sacrificial Giant Vine?!
There was always a higher mountain-and a greater god?!
But Qin Siyang was still curious about the [Succession Trial] it had mentioned, so he asked respectfully, "Lord Sacred Giant Vines, what did you mean when you said I passed the [Succession Trial]? Were your attacks on me just now actually a kind of trial?"
Hearing Qin Siyang call it "Lord," the Sacrificial Giant Vine sounded a little prouder and answered cheerfully, "Correct. My [Succession Trial] began the moment you plucked my vine crystal. But most people choose to withdraw at that point, wasting the [Succession Trial] and losing their chance at a generous reward."
Wasting a chance?
Qin Siyang disagreed with the Sacrificial Giant Vine one hundred and twenty percent.
If he hadn't been so nimble, he would have died under the vines' relentless bombardment long ago!
What damn trial could you take if you were dead?
Grabbing the Vine Heart and making a clean getaway, like Hu Chan had done, was the best possible choice.
