The Trial Spirit announced, "Now for the details of the first trial."
"You will all be randomly seeded into a team of 10 or more. Whether a team has 10 or more, it is a representation of your strength or the team's strength. It is purely random…"
"And the randomly seeded team will not be among your current group in this arena. It will be across the 12 city-states that are participating. But this arena is your home arena where you will rest and cultivate after the end of every trial…"
When Ji Yuan had heard the trial spirit, he was excited immediately; this means that he would be meeting his beloved Bai Qianfeng in this trial sooner than he was expecting!
"…for the first trial, there are enough of you to form 75 teams of champions…"
Ji Yuan was stammering inside him now: What?! 75 teams of champions?! What is the possibility of meeting my beloved Qianfeng?
Xiang Li giggled: I know that my Big Brother's math sucks. That is 1.3% chance for you.
Ji Yuan frowned: Xiang Li, your math is the one that is sucks, not mine. Let me ask Anyang instead.
Anyang replied: My lord, it is 1.33%
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
After hearing Anyang, he weakly said: Well, Anyang's calculation sounds a little right…
He was actually expecting a rate that is better than 13%.
Xiang Li giggled: Big Brother is the only MC in the cultivation stories that does not know how to count.
Ji Yuan protested immediately: That's not true! I am merely distracted by what the trial spirit is going to say! So don't distract me from the trial's important message!
The Trial Spirit of the Spiritas Tower continued to say, "You will all be taken to the first trial with a randomly seeded team. Thereafter, you have 30 minutes to get to know your team. Please note that it is likely that you will be isolated from the other teams for the first trial as the trial grounds are covered a large expanse. Therefore, in order to overcome this trial, you may need the support of your team…"
Xiao Muhan was muttering weakly to Ji Yuan and Chu Lixue, "This means that I can't choose my team… and this trial may be in isolation from the other teams… this is bad…"
Ji Yuan was also muttering weakly, "This means that I can't be with my senior sister… and the others may green me…"
Chu Lixue stepped on Ji Yuan's foot as she whispered firmly, "What are you talking about? You should know my heart…"
"But senior sister, you never know the despicable means of these cultivators, do you?" Ji Yuan pointed it out.
Chu Lixue purposely stepped even harder on his foot, "We are inside the Spiritas Tower where the divine consorts can see us too. So don't be silly!"
Ji Yuan smiled bitterly, "I forget…"
The Trial Spirit of the Spiritas Tower said, "This is the basic rules of the first trial. For the exact rules of the first trial, I'll be speaking with all the champions once you have been seeded in your team…"
"The next message is for the divine consorts, from the Goddess Ai Tina…"
Immediately Ji Yuan and all the other champions were blinking their eyes as they wondered: A message from the Goddess Ai Tina?
Apparently, the profound voice of the Trial Spirit was the only voice that could be heard from outside the arena.
All the divine consorts in the Divine Temple of the Goddess Ai Tina and the crowds of speculators in the Colosseum were all paying attention to this divine decree that was being sent by their Goddess Ai Tina to the Trial Spirit.
"In the past, the Spiritas Tower will select 5 winning divine consorts via their champions to be ascended to the Greater Spirit Dream. And there will also be a random pick by the Spiritas Tower for one of the losing divine consorts to be selected to the Greater Spirit Realm…"
"These divine consorts will be able to step into the golden portal of the Divine Temple to receive the Great Blessings of the Great Beyond Goddess in the Greater Spirit Realm and they can ascend to be immortal divine consorts as they join me in the immortal war against the decadent immortal divine lords of the past era …"
"However, this rule is going to change now. Not because I, the Goddess Ai Tina is dissatisfied with any of the divine consorts from the Northern Alliance Theology Olympiad or the other divine consorts from the other territories. In fact, I am really pleased with my short time here in the Spirit Divine Realm, especially with Great Divine Consort Xu Yifei, Divine Consort Tang Manni and the Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan…"
At the Divine Temple of the Goddess Ai Tina, Tang Manni was startled that she was being mentioned and there was a bleary look in her eyes; this was a great honor to be mentioned by the Goddess Ai Tina…
"The Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan is also my personal guard of honor and he should also be honored with the highest regard. Therefore, I am going to make him into our first divine lord in thousands of years…"
Ji Yuan was startled: What the heck?! I am a divine lord now?! Is the Goddess Ai Tina plotting against me again?
Almost all the champions presented with Ji Yuan were all looking in his way now; some were full of prides while some others were full of resentments…
"…It is the traditional of the Spiritas that the divine consorts are non-contestants. But an exception will be made for our Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan instead. As long as he survives the trials of the Great Games of the Spiritas Tower, he shall be known also as the Great Divine Lord Ji Yuan. Not just any ordinary divine lord but the First Great Divine Lord of your era…"
Ji Yuan was frowning: I know there must be a catch somewhere. So I must survive…
Anyang muttered: This isn't a catch at all…
Chu Lixue muttered weakly as she stared blankly at Ji Yuan, "Great Divine Lord Ji Yuan… I am beginning to hate this trial now… why must all the good things always go to him…"
Ji Yuan protested immediately, "I actually didn't get anything from my last trial, you know and it is a S+ Trial. Haha…"
"Liar!" Like the rest of the maidens, Chu Lixue simply did not believe that Ji Yuan had got nothing from the last trial since this was impossible.
The Trial Spirit continued to read out the divine decree of the Goddess Ai Tina, "Great Divine Lord Ji Yuan will be allowed to pick a harem according to the tradition of the divine lords, even another divine consort and as many as he wants…"
When the divine decree was read to this point, many of the noble spiritas were shocked but they were also secretly smiling.
It was especially so when heard by Xu Yifei, Tang Manni, Sun Dingjun, Dongfang Xin and Ding Jie'Er; even though they know that it was against their spiritas traditional for their lord consort to have more than one maiden as consort but they could not help falling in love with Ji Yuan.
Sun Dingjun was so flustered that she had buried her head into Ding Jie'Er bosoms, "Did you hear that, Little Jie'Er…"
Dongfang Xin's beautiful eyes were shinning; it was because she had never thought highly of any man except for Ji Yuan. But Ji Yuan had so many better divine consorts like Xu Yifei, Tang Manni and even Little Jie'Er that were more affectionate than her, so she did not think that she had a chance. But today, she finally has a chance…
There was another secret reason why the Goddess Ai Tina had declared so; it was because Achilles would also be taking Tang Li as his second consort today. This was the Goddess Ai Tina way for making up to Tang Li.
Ji Yuan muttered to himself: I sense a catch somewhere…
"… the great war in the Greater Spirit Realm has almost ended and we have purged most of the depraved immortal divine lords. Therefore, that the real reason why we don't need more divine consorts to join us for the time being. I will like all my divine consorts to lead a long and blissful life in the Spirit Divine Realm and you can fall in love just like anyone else…"
Many of the divine consorts of the Spirit Divine Realm actually did not have a cultivation partner when they had ascended because there were few men that could catch their eyes.
Either that or the men that could catch their eyes were the heartless celestials that vanished all of a sudden after the end of their trial, causing them to be pregnant with their seeds.
"…although the divine consorts cannot ascend anymore but the way to the Greater Spirit Realm is always opened to you if you can cultivate to the peak of the great divine consort. In the great library of the depraved immortal divine lords, the more completed spirit cultivation has already been found and I'll distribute it to my Divine Temples after the end of the Great Games of the Spiritas Tower…"
"… the rewards for the Spiritas Tower will also be increased for the champions and the winning 6 divine consorts as a reward of this new change of rule. May the Light of the Great Beyond Goddess be with all of you."
The Trial Spirit of the Spiritas Tower paused briefly, "This is the divine decree that is from the Goddess Ai Tina to all of you."
After another short pause, the Trial Spirit continued. "The first trial will start now…"
Ji Yuan could suddenly see flashes of light appearing from the group of champions in the arena; wherever the flashes of light struck, the person would then disappear to be taken elsewhere.
He quickly said to Chu Lixue, "Senior sister, don't die too…"
Chu Lixue merely smiled, "Don't jinx your senior sister…"
A light had suddenly struck her and then she was gone too.
Ji Yuan turned to say to Xiao Muhan, "Any last words that you want to say to me, Brother Xiao Muhan?"
Xiao Muhan muttered weakly, "You have better hope that I can have a good team or else my ghost will return to haunt you…"
"There are no ghosts. Hahaha…." Ji Yuan laughed.
And then he was struck by the light and had disappeared too.
