Because of Mr. Nikorov and Mrs. Butterfly, Bai Linglong knew that she needed to have some respect for the Void God Cult.
This is a ritual that should be performed no matter how many times one comes.
Bai Linglong's arrival once again attracted a lot of attention.
However, regarding the story of Hercules Kyle, one of the Void God Cult's killing gods, bringing back a catwoman with snow-white fur.
The news had already spread throughout Void Island within the past few hours.
Not only do members of the Void God Cult know this, but outsiders are also aware of it.
Even knowing that capturing and selling Bai Linglong would be extremely valuable, worth at least ten million cosmic coins, no outsider dared to make that move.
After all, no one wants to offend Hercules Kyle and attract the pursuit of that god of death.
Unless a perfect opportunity arises, they will at most glance at it and dare not make any overly obvious moves, at least on Void Island.
If Bai Linglong leaves Void Island and is no longer within the scope of protection, then the situation will be different.
They watched Bai Linglong climb the steps one by one, observing her closely from behind.
It's understandable that they're not surprised, since catwomen with such pure fur and exceptionally beautiful appearance are extremely rare.
When Bai Linglong stepped onto the steps again, she felt that mysterious and profound aura reappear.
Moreover, this time the energy emanated not only from the stone tablet, but also from every step of the staircase.
Bai Linglong completely shut down her perception of the outside world and focused entirely on experiencing this aura.
With each step I climbed, I felt my body grow heavier, and my sense of awe increased.
Moreover, Bai Linglong saw a deep purple, silk-like power covering all the steps.
Just like at the very top of the steps, a mysterious and terrifying figure is sleeping, protecting the entire Void Temple.
It's fine if they don't intend to attack the Void Temple, but if they do, it might provoke a counterattack from the Void Cult.
Bai Linglong followed the rhythm of her breathing, climbing the stairs step by step with increasingly heavy steps.
When she reached the summit and saw the stone tablet again, she saw in her eyes that all the characters engraved on the tablet carried a deep purple energy.
She knew this was the mysterious aura hidden within the stone tablet.
This power definitely originates from Lord Kassadin, the god of the void.
Bai Linglong walked step by step to the stone tablet, first putting her hands together in prayer, and then whispering a prayer.
"If there has been any offense, please forgive me, Lord Kassadin, the God of the Void."
She didn't know what touching this mysterious energy would bring, but she knew the importance of the ritual.
After speaking, Bai Linglong reached out and touched the first word on the stone tablet: doctrine.
The moment she touched it, Bai Linglong felt the scenery before her change, and she was immediately confronted with a vast and boundless dark void.
A colossal figure, as large as the Milky Way, clad in white robes and golden armor, and wearing a mysterious golden mask, stood in the boundless dark void.
"The doctrine of the Void God Cult is one: all intelligent beings in the universe are entitled to undergo a trial to join the glorious evolution."
"There are three criteria for passing the test."
"The first thing to do is to have a sincere heart and to revere the greatness of the void."
"The second requirement is a firm and unwavering belief that one is truly willing to dedicate one's life to."
"Thirdly, one needs a person of upright character with clear principles and bottom lines, only in this way can one resist the erosion brought by desires."
"Only those who unite the three into one can open the gate to the void, obtain eternal life, and peer into the boundless world of the strong."
"I ask you, are you ready for the real test?"
This stone tablet preserves the purest thoughts of Harvey when he first inscribed the doctrines and precepts.
This is true equality for all things; anyone who can pass the test will receive a blessing directly.
"...Can I say no?"
Bai Linglong understood the essence of the trial and how to receive the blessing, but if asked whether she was ready to begin the trial...
She herself didn't have that strong confidence that she could pass the test.
"Since you are not prepared, continue to hone your skills and find your own truly convincing beliefs."
"Carefully examine all your past actions and clarify what you need to do in the future."
"When you feel the time is right, you can come back to participate in the real trial."
"You are the first person I have met to take this test, and I am giving you this opportunity."
Harvey's remaining will responded with a divine sound that resounded throughout the void.
The divine sound echoed through the void.
A surge of void power directly entered Bai Linglong's body.
The quantity was not large, but it was enough to cause some changes to Bai Linglong's physical body.
As Bai Linglong watched the purple energy surge into her body, she also felt her body rapidly regressing, and the scenery before her eyes was constantly changing.
This allowed Bai Linglong to see terrifying beings hovering in the void, all of them colossal creatures comparable to the Milky Way.
Then the scenery before Bai Linglong changed, and she saw the stone tablet again.
Unconsciously, her hand created a gap between itself and the stone tablet, thus detaching her hand from touching it.
Bai Linglong didn't try to sense what changes the purple energy entering her body brought about.
"Thank you for the guidance of the great Void God, Lord Kassadin."
"I will come to worship again when I am ready."
Bai Linglong simply bowed and thanked the stone tablet with utmost sincerity.
Lady Lacey and the others said that even if one passes the test and understands how to receive the blessing, it must not be revealed to others.
But the real test was already hidden within this stone tablet, which was personally inscribed by Lord Kassadin.
Moreover, Lord Kassadin said she was the first person to participate in the trial.
This means that no one had ever before directly understood the nature of the test through the stone tablet, and then begun to reflect on themselves and look to the future.
Bai Linglong herself didn't know why she was able to sense it.
However, she knew that she had indeed obtained something from the Void Temple.
Harvey, who was in his villa on the mountaintop, had just witnessed all the scenes of Bai Linglong entering the void to pay homage to him.
Harvey also received a notification from the system.
[Bai Linglong has glimpsed and obtained some of the Void Power left behind by the Great Lord of the Void, and piously requests to join the Void. Do you agree?]
This unprecedented application surprised Harvey for a moment.
He did not do everything himself, but what he saw was indeed the original intention he set for the test takers.
"Put this application on the special observation list."
Harvey did not immediately grant Bai Linglong's request to join the Void, but instead treated her as an object of special observation.
【OK. 】
The system received instructions to add Bai Linglong's application and name to the list of people under special observation.
There was another person who had previously been on this special watch list, and that person was Star-Lord.
This means that once you're here, you're considered an important subject of observation.
Because Bai Linglong herself felt unprepared, and Harvey was also receiving such a special application for the first time.
So Harvey also plans to observe and consider it carefully.
Over the years, he has bestowed blessings upon others in the void, which is basically done by him observing and giving blessings directly.
This was the first time Harvey had encountered a situation where he could directly confront his clone, or rather, where the remaining will was beginning to be tested.
So he also needs some time to figure out what exactly is going on.
If done well, it might make his test more pure.
There is no need to painstakingly observe and judge whether a person's character, beliefs, and faith are up to standard.
In front of the stone tablet outside the Void Temple, Bai Linglong touched the tablet and then suddenly expressed her gratitude to Lord Kassadin, the God of the Void, for his guidance.
This scene left some of the outsiders present dumbfounded.
What does it mean to come back after being fully prepared?
They pricked up their ears, and some even patted their own ears.
They realized they hadn't heard the voice, which was clearly coming from Kassadin, the god of the void.
But just now, this catwoman suddenly said that.
Did she really meet Lord Kassadin, the god of the void?
Or perhaps they understood how to pass the test, which is why they made thorough preparations?
The numerous questions left the outsiders around them extremely anxious.
After paying her respects, Bai Linglong walked to the back and left the Void Temple.
She knew she needed to truly define her beliefs in order to pass the test.
It's easy for someone to casually say what their beliefs are, because anyone can boast.
But the essence of the test is true belief, not just empty words.
Bai Linglong might be able to fool others, but she wasn't bold enough to fool Lord Kassadin, the God of the Void.
Therefore, she must reflect on herself and find the true beliefs within her heart.
Lady Lacey also said that for members of the Void Cult, there is an eternal trial: the struggle against desire.
Even if those with wavering faith receive blessings, they will fall into depravity and succumb to desires, rendering all their efforts futile.
Bai Linglong's retreating figure exuded a resolute aura that impressed many outsiders.
Just like this catwoman suddenly had an epiphany, which is why this aura appeared on her.
