After listening to Vigilante A's words, everyone fell silent and observed the golden door hanging at the top of the mountain.
Hidden under the black fog was the so-called Stairway to Heaven.
However, why did it not show up this time?
This in itself was a signal of danger.
Those who could come to the Lunaette and participate in the Divine Gate Ceremony were naturally the best of the best. Even if they were not Pond-level powerhouses, they were at least Bucket-or Basin-level powerhouses …
Their instincts told them that there was danger behind the door.
Not long after, someone finally started whispering.
"Looks like this time is very different from the last time …"
"Yeah, I feel like we're going to die if we enter the black fog."
"Then let's wait and see for a while. After all, we have a month to climb the Stairway to Heaven."
Obviously, those who had cultivated to this level were no fools. Since the situation was unclear, they naturally chose not to be the first to stand out.
Hearing this, Sir System suddenly said to Fang Ning, "Why didn't you tell them all the information just now? That way, it would save them from wasting time guessing."
"Hmph, I want them to waste time. Otherwise, how are our allies and us going to grow stronger? Let me tell you, don't think about the Great Harmony of the World and universal values. Those are all lies! " Fang Ning lectured seriously, "Since ancient times, people have always been creatures that bear grudges but not gratitude. No matter how well you treat them, when the time comes, those who should betray you will still betray you. Only those allies and followers who have passed the recognition of our System Maxim can be treated with sincerity."
"I see, no wonder you're always fierce to me. Looks like you only remember the hatred I have for you and not the kindness I have shown you," Sir System said faintly.
"… You really know how to connect the dots. We're in a symbiotic relationship. We're bound together for good or bad. I'm fierce to you because I love you and support you," Fang Ning said forcefully.
"You're fooling me." Sir System did not believe him at all.
"Damn it, this old System is not as cute as this little System," Fang Ning said angrily.
Meanwhile, on China's side, having received all the information, they immediately began to secretly discuss on the spot.
"The Venerable One has stated clearly that the difficulty of passing through the first three steps has been reduced. It seems that the number of people who can pass this time will greatly increase." Ren Ruofeng was the first to analyze. "The fourth step leads to a terrifying world. Since the Venerable One has used the word 'terrifying' to describe it, it's easy to imagine that there must be danger everywhere in that world. I'm afraid it'll be ten times more dangerous than the Land of Sanguinity. Even if we follow the Venerable One, we might not be safe."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, but they quickly calmed down.
To begin with, joining the Truth Department was to be in the company of danger. In the beginning, when they quelled special incidents time and time again, the casualty rate was not low. It was only because of the Venerable Dragon God's sudden appearance that these dangers disappeared without a trace. Only a few strange incidents caused by weak chickens remained, and there were no more casualties.
However, this time, the situation was clearly out of the Dragon God's control.
But did they have the choice to retreat?
Impossible, the Truth Department was a military organization, an official organization endorsed by the country. Deserters could be executed on the spot!
If their strength far exceeded the organization in the future, this kind of restriction would be difficult to maintain. However, at the moment, no one had the ability to do so.
Ren Ruofeng looked around and secretly transmitted his voice, "We've traded for a total of 18 places to enter the Divine Gate in the past three days. Originally, we planned to evenly distribute the places according to potential points, contribution points, and strength points, but now it seems that we need to make some last-minute adjustments."
Some of them suddenly showed a trace of anxiety on their faces.
These people were the ones who had worked hard and performed great deeds, but whether it was in terms of potential or strength, they could only be ranked in the middle. Now it seemed that this opportunity to enter the Divine Gate was going to be lost.
Someone could not help but say, "Can't we just climb the stairway and not enter that terrifying world?"
Although everyone understood the feelings of this person, they could not help but look at him with disdain.
"Hmph, aren't you telling the organization that we can only enjoy the rights and not bear the obligations?" Xu Rui, the young and energetic man with great potential, directly mocked.
That person was speechless, and his face turned red.
"Alright, alright, I understand your feelings, but this idea of yours is definitely impossible." Ren Ruofeng waved his hand and said, "Last time, the white fog appeared in the gate, and there was no punishment for failing to climb the stairway. However, this time, it's black fog, so obviously that kind of good thing won't happen again. Moreover, from what I see, if we enter the Divine Gate and climb the stairway, but fail to enter that terrifying world and return with some things, the lightest punishment would be to be rejected by the Heavenly Axiom, and it would be difficult for us to advance our cultivation. "
Everyone nodded silently, this was the most reasonable deduction.
After all, the Heavenly Axiom was never kind. It originally did not have self-consciousness, and when it existed as nature, it had never shown mercy to anyone. Only the fittest could survive, or else the entire race would be wiped out.
This change obviously determined that the people who were chosen would be those with great potential and strength, and not those who worked hard.
Although some people were very unwilling, they also understood their own weight. If they could not even win against their colleagues, what right did they have to climb the stairway that was the focus of tens of thousands of races?
Climbing the Divine Gate was not a welfare.
"It seems that 18 slots can't be used up, so it's a good time to change hands. I believe some people will be willing to pay a high price for it."
Ren Ruofeng said this helplessly. Originally, there were not enough slots, and everyone was fighting for it. Now that the standards had changed, there were immediately too many slots. The price paid before was really a waste, and this was what people meant when they said that plans could not keep up with changes.
…
In the far corner of the demon camp.
There were some demons that only existed on Earth here, such as ox-horned demons, goat-horned demons, golems, and so on … They were all demons that usually stayed deep in the forest.
Due to the halo of the Pharos of the East, those who could come to the Divine Gate had not stained their hands with blood. However, they did not think that this was a shame, and it was a sign of the strong adaptability of the demon race.
Claudia and Saki Yamanashi were already thinking of giving up on this opportunity to climb the Divine Gate. Saki Yamanashi was Fang Ning's ally, so she naturally knew the inside story. She knew that the real test was to enter a terrifying world and benefit from it.
However, she only told this white woman about this inside story, and the other demons did not know.
The demons were looking at the two of them with bright eyes, and all of them were eager to give it a try.
A demon that was completely black said, "Leaders, the demon lord is not here, so you can't retreat. Our fiend race all have the feeling that this black fog just so happens to be our home field! It is extremely terrifying to humans, but to us, it is like a fish in water. "
Yamanashi suddenly had no idea what to do, and looked at the white woman beside her, Claudia.
Claudia suddenly hesitated. She used to play the role of her brother's brain, and had never made her own decisions. Now that she had to decide whether to advance or retreat, it was indeed a very big test.
She also knew that it was true that they were like fish in water, but the real enemy of the demon race was none other than the demons themselves.
If a demon fell into the hands of a deity or Buddha, there was a possibility that it could be converted and subdued, but if it fell into the hands of another demon, the most likely outcome would be to be devoured!
She was very clear about the nature of the demons under her command. If they went in and obtained a great opportunity, it was inevitable that they would turn on her.
Now that the demon lord was not here, and neither was Black Robe, she had no power to suppress these restless demons at all.
Without the two leaders, they were very helpless.
"If my brother was still here, we could also give it a try. Now that there are only the two of us, it's too dangerous," Claudia said to Yamanashi secretly.
"Yes, Sister Claudia, Master and Uncle Black Robe have become monks, and no one will care about us. It's better for us to watch from the side. If they insist, then we will ask Lord Azure Dragon to make the decision, "Yamanashi subconsciously agreed.
After the two of them finished their discussion, Claudia said faintly, "Let's wait for the opportunity and wait for the others to find some clues. After all, without the demon lord, our power is too weak."
When these demons heard this, although they were dissatisfied, they could only endure it for the time being. However, they had already made up their minds. As long as there was an opportunity, they would sneak into the Divine Gate. After all, the demon race had their own quota, so they did not need to borrow it from others. The two leaders did not want to enter, but they wanted to enter very much.
To these demons, death was never the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing was being weak …
