Lu Sui sneered repeatedly at Azazel's flattery.
Now that you've seen the reward is the World Origin, you know to bow.
Where was that arrogant, defiant attitude from a moment ago?
Go on, show it!
"Stop trying to cozy up to me. If no one's leaving, I'm starting the Trial."
Lu Sui gave a chilling smile and spoke slowly.
At his words, they hated him so much their teeth ached.
Even setting aside that staggering reward, leaving had to actually be possible before they could consider it!
The instant they stepped out of the village, the rules would fucking erase them!
You rotten old bastard!
Seeing that none of them moved, Lu Sui stopped wasting time, raised his right hand, and snapped his fingers.
A flash of golden light marked the official start of Nine Suns Village's Trial.
A corresponding notification rang out in every participant's mind.
[The Nine Suns Village Trial has begun. Please pay one drop of blood essence as your admission fee!]
Everyone: !!!
Holy shit! You old fuck, you're ruthless!
Blood essence was every cultivator's source power, directly tied to their lifespan.
It was no exaggeration to say that this single drop would cost them at least a hundred years of life!
Granted, a hundred years was hardly anything at their level of cultivation.
But handing it over just for admission was so fucking galling!
This rule was also displayed.
Everyone watching in front of the light screens was dumbfounded.
Well, damn. This was the first they had heard of paying with your life to play a game!
What, did it increase your luck or boost your drop rate?
Most importantly, players weren't allowed in unless they handed over that drop of blood essence.
Once they left the village, only death awaited!
This wasn't
