"[Your Spiritual Soul Signature has been registered in the Origin Lust Sword Temple Archive!]
"[First Origin Lust Sword Temple Floor Trial for Origin Lust Sword Temple Devotee will now begin!]
Just as the system's voice trailed off, everyone noticed that the white sections started to get changed into the dark while a strange mist started to rise all of a sudden, filling the room.
The girls noticed that as they inhaled that faint mist which was very alluring and sweet to smell, their eyes suddenly started to turn clouded.
Cyrus watched as those girls' eyes turned dreamy with an astonished glint flashing past his eyes, 'Charm Illusion?'
"What is happening? I hope this trial won't be easy, humph!" Eve's confused yet relished voice rang in question. She was watching everything with great interest, like a spectator which she was.
At this moment, a System notification rang in Cyrus's head.

Cyrus was somewhat surprised seeing the three requirements to pass the first-floor trial. Although they looked quite simple and easy to complete, he knew it wasn't the case at all.
"System, you are not going to use just some illusion mist to test these three things, right?" Cyrus asked impassively while he looked at those girls standing in daze-like statues.
"[Indeed, a mere illusion mist is not enough to reveal the matters of heart and mind. They will be tested using a Special Dream Mist, which originates from the Origin Lust Sword Temple itself.]
"[It will turn the participant's reality upside down. If their hearts are really devoted to the Temple and only have User in their heart, they can easily overcome it, but if they have any malicious intention toward the Temple or User, they will never be able to escape from that state and die!]"
Cyrus remained thoughtful for a moment before he transmitted, "Although it's a little bit extreme, it's a good way to stop someone with malicious intentions or an enemy from joining the temple ranks. I approved of it. But what if they fail still?"
"[That's where the time limit comes in. You can set up a time limit for each requirement to pass, and once that time is up, those who haven't found a way to complete it will be sent to the next requirement state automatically.]
"[As long as they did not have any malicious intentions, they can easily come out of the trial without any harm done.]"
"Interesting. Then how much time do you think will be sufficient for these trial requirements?" Cyrus asked the system's opinion as he knew these dream trials could last forever if the person's mind was not strong enough. They could be trapped in an illusionary dream infinitely until they died without them even knowing.
"[10 Minutes for each trial should be sufficient.]"
Cyrus thought for a moment before he said, "Make it 1 hour for each trial for now, and no punishment. But when I opened the temple gates for everyone, I wanted you to set the limit to twenty minutes each and set the punishment for failing them not to be able to retake the trials for 30 days. This time period will be enough for the dimension current population."
"[Understood. What about the requirements and rewards?]"
"What kind of rewards can I offer?" Cyrus asked.
"[The Origin Lust Sword only has Sacred Knowledge Sanctum right now. User can set up Knowledge in Ten Sections and then offer that knowledge as rewards to the successful participants.]"
"Make sense. Do I need to write that knowledge in some books?" Cyrus asked again, as it was the most cumbersome part of setting up a library or anything related to knowledge, as a matter of fact. These kinds of things needed to record in some way.
"[The Sacred Knowledge Sanctum is special, and it can directly connect with your mind as long as you will it. Afterward, you can materialize any knowledge into Temple Slips and stow them into any section of the Sanctum.]
"[You can future name those sections, set up a time limit in which someone can gain access to them or who. You can even set up Spiritual Soul Locks on those Temple Slips.]
"[Those Spiritual Soul Locks then will only be opened by Temple Member's Spiritual Soul Signature who you have allocated those Temple Slips and not by anyone else. If someone tries to take a Temple Slip out or forcibly open Temple Slip, it will be destroyed, and you will be informed as well.]
"[Right now, you can create 100 Temple Slips in each Section, and the Knowledge can't be higher than Mortal Tiers. If you try to stow knowledge that is deemed above Mortal Tier, the Temple Slips will not generate.]
"[If you want to make higher realm knowledge Temple Slips, then you need to upgrade the Dimension Temple above the Dark Platinum Grade, and there are also some other functions of the Sacred Knowledge Sanctum which will reveal themselves in due time!]
Cyrus was really impressed after he heard about how magical Sacred Knowledge Sanctum was, and it seemed he was being lazy for no good reason!
"You should've informed me much sooner. If that's the case, then connect me with the Sacred Knowledge Sanctum right now.
"Even with this mortal limit, I don't think even 10 million of those Temple Slips will be enough to store all of my Mortal Grade Knowledge, so I'll better choose the best of the best for my women!"
