On Leona's side,
"Do you love someone romantically?"
"Yes."
"What is his name?"
"It's my sister Leo."
"Why do you love her?"
"Because she never sees me as a weirdo like others do."
"What if she doesn't love you?"
"It's not possible."
"Do you ever love a man romantically?"
"No."
"Do you like a man romantically?"
"Recently, yes."
"Who?"
"The handsome Lord Lust."
"Can you share your love for your sister with him?"
"If he's not petty, then yes."
"What if you have no other choice?"
"Then I will choose Leo."
"What if another man appeared who is worthier than he?"
"It depended on my relationship with Lord Lust at that time."
"What if he didn't love you back or your sister?"
"Then he doesn't deserve our love. But I don't think he's such a person as he already made his intention clear of accepting talented women, but only a few of them would be his Queens. I don't have any problem with my man having multiple women as long as he doesn't betray me or my sister."
"What if he discards you and your sister?"
"Then we deserved to be discarded since we don't have an eye for a man. But we will not be going to be discarded like some trash either, at least I'm not."
"Can you betray him for your family even if they are in the wrong and have malicious intentions toward him?"
"I will follow my sister to the pits of hell, much less betray some stranger. Furthermore, it's depended on the reason why she wanted to do such a thing. I'm quite positive that I can change her mind if it's for some silly reason. Besides, she will never have malicious intentions toward anyone in the first place. She is a straightforward person and very gentle and kind. As for my brother, he's a bonehead, and I can fix him with some sisterly love in a jiffy!"

Last but not least, Carla,
"Do you love someone romantically?"
"I do once, but not anymore."
"What is his name?"
"My childhood lover, fiancé, and also the man who betrayed me for my sister after our parents passed away, Rayden."
"Do you hate him now?"
"Yes."
"What if he comes back and apologies for everything he has ever done? Would you forgive me and accept his feelings?"
"I might if he killed my sister."
"Do you have another man besides Rayden who has aroused your womanly interest?"
"Yes."
"Who?"
"Boss Lust of the Holy Spa Pagoda. He has a strange charm that compelled me towards him the moment I laid my eyes on him. That's probably why I saw him touch my body and even craved his touch again. Now I've discovered he is a very powerful being, a Dimension Ruler, and I'm even more eager to be with him."
"Then, if he wasn't a Dimension Ruler, was there a chance he would not arouse your womanly interest?"
"With his characteristic, I don't think it matters to me if he has the dimension or not. People like him are bound to be extraordinary, and I have learned it through the hard way."
"What if he betrayed you for other women like your old lover Rayden once?"
"At least he's honest about it, and he doesn't seem like a man who lets go of any woman as long as she won't do anything to harm him. So, I'm not concerned about him accepting other women as long as he pays attention to me and make me strong enough to get my revenge."
"So, you are here for revenge? What will come after the revenge?"
"Yes, I want revenge for all that happened to me, but I'm not here purely for it because I want to prove myself to him for some reason and become his queen. After that revenge… I never thought about it, but now I don't think life will be boring by his side…"

It took Cyrus around thirty minutes to set up everything according to his liking. Although this was still crude, he knew this was just the beginning, and he would continue to refine the knowledge sanctum.ραпdαs `n?ν?| сom
Right now, he filled the entire sanctum with the best of what mortal rank has to offer in his mind.
After he made one thousand temple slips, and sort them into ten sections, and renamed those sections, he finally released them all on the temple floor, and then he set up all the requirements and rewards for the first-floor trial.
At this moment, Eve's surprising voice rang in the head when he had just released all that knowledge, "What is this Sacred Knowledge Sanctum?"
Cyrus was startled for a moment before he told her about it, "It's the second floor of the temple where…"
After explaining to Eve what the knowledge sanctum was, he asked, "Why do you ask, did something happen?"
"Yes, I suddenly heard Elder System's voice telling me that I can look into Sacred Knowledge Sanctum all I want… Oh, no! I told you again without demanding anything!" Eve's elated voice instantly turned into a miserable cry of regret when she noticed her own silly mistake despite just learning a painful lesson about negotiation from astute Cyrus.
Cyrus chuckled, "At least you remembered it. That's progress."
"Hmph, it's all your fault for asking so nicely. You are definitely doing it on purpose." Eve restfully refuted.
"You're so sweet that you can't keep a secret from your husband. That's what I love about you." Cyrus gently uttered.
"I-is that so?" Eve's voice instantly became much gentler and happier.
"Of course, I won't lie to my only wife under heaven and earth," Cyrus said solemnly.
"It's better to be the case, hmm, hmmm." Eve sounded extremely pleased right now.
'She's so easy to please…' Cyrus thought with a gentle smile before his attention suddenly shifted to the first floor.
At this moment, the dark misty section where Hilda was standing started to turn brighter as the mist also started to fade away.
"Hmph, she's not bad." Eve suddenly snorted at this moment with a hint of admiration in her voice.
"You sound impressed." Cyrus wasn't the one who let it go unnoticed.
"You wish." Eve also wasn't the one who was going to admit as well.
Cyrus didn't pursue the matter as he knew the truth would be revealed once the result was announced, and seeing it was Hilda who passed. He has high expectations from her.
Hilda's dreamy eyes slowly regained cleanness as the fog in front of them faded away, and she appeared in a daze as she turned her head around in bewilderment. When she started to remember where she was and what had transpired, she couldn't help but take a sharp long breath in exhaustion.
At this moment, the system voice rang in only Hilda's section,
"[Participants Hilda has experienced the entire First Temple Floor Trial!]
"[Congratulations, you have completed the First Floor Trial: The Proof of Devotion!]
"[You have met the requirement to become a member of the Origin Lust Sword Temple!]
"[Your Spiritual Soul Signature is being used to create a Temple Status for you!]
"[Your proof of identity and devotion, the Temple Status has been successfully created.]
"[You can see your Temple Status as long as you are in the Origin Lust Sword Dimension by called or thinking, 'Temple Status.']
"[All the rewards and perks for being an Origin Lust Sword Temple Member will appear in the Temple Status, so please keep tabs on it.]
"[Please say the words Temple Status to continue.]"
Hilda was astonished when she heard the system's words, and without hesitation, she uttered, "Temple Status?"
Cyrus was also amazed since this ability was like his own status, which meant he might not be able to see Hilda's status as well, like no one can see his except, of course, Eve.
However, he soon found that he had reached a conclusion too soon as the moment Hilda opened the status, he could clearly see a red-purple projection appear in front of her filled with golden words.

Astonishment flashed in Hilda's beautiful eyes as she saw all her information on this projection. It was a novel experience for her as she had never seen something like this before. Even her physique was denoted into this status.
Then she quickly focused on rewards since she wanted to see what she would get from passing this absurd first trial. The moment she did, the projection changed, and her rewards appeared!
