That was also what the others wanted to know, so they all nervously looked up at the Black Robe Ghost King.
“What will happen to the ones who aren’t picked? Hahaha —”
The ghost king looked like he had heard something very amusing when he said, “Well, it’s very likely that they’ll die…”
Die?!!!
Everyone’s eyes widened.
They had thought that the worse that would happen was that they would lose the chance of finding the seed of the spirit source, but as it turned out, there was a high possibility that they would die!
“Hey, kids, don’t panic just yet. I said ‘very likely,’ which means that there’s a chance that you won’t die.”
Despite the intimidating and creepy air the Black Robe Ghost King gave off, he somehow also had a coquettish side.
But none of them noticed, since death hovered above their heads like a dark cloud, as if it could snatch them up at any moment.
“What do you mean by ‘very likely’?”
“Why are we going to die?”
“What are the rules?”
“What should we do to stay alive?”
Feng Yiran, Feng Liu, and Dugu Yamo all cried out and asked questions.
Other ghost kings would have gotten impatient by now, but this ghost king was quite talkative, for he hadn’t spoken to anyone in a very long time.
“The rules are very straightforward,” the ghost king said cheerfully. “The captain will choose six people to form a seven-member team. They can then climb those stairs, clear the obstacles, and reach the destination.
“Of course, they’ll have to work hard to get through the trials.” The ghost king blinked, which looked rather eerie.
“The remaining seven people can either wait for their deaths or form a team of their own. I have a name for that team already: Survival!”
“What should that team do, then?” Feng Yiran had a bad feeling. He knew that he was going to be a member of that team.
The Black Robe Ghost King smirked. “What should they do? Challenge the first team, obviously.”
Challenge the first team?
The Black Robe Ghost King didn’t like the confused looks on their faces. “You’re all so stupid! You can’t understand anything unless I show it to you! So stupid!”
As he spoke, he flipped his wide sleeves.
Instantly —
Thump —
The entire Universe Hall shook so violently that they couldn’t stand still. They all held onto things to steady themselves.
The scene they saw after the turbulence shocked them all!
What a scene!
The hall was cut into half!
And it was done very skillfully.
The hall was split into two equal halves!
Only the top floor was intact, and the lower six floors were all split!
If one were to call the two sides the Chosen Hall and the Survival Hall…
The two halls were only connected at the top level.
They still didn’t fully understand what was going on, so they turned their nervous gazes to the Black Robe Ghost King.
The ghost king snorted.
