Chapter 97 The Mysterious Test

Seeing this, Renoli and the other two slowly followed. The temple's steps were about thirty meters long.

The woman was speaking from above, yet her voice was transmitted directly down to the floor; she was clearly no ordinary person.

So even though Kyle likes beautiful women, he didn't dare to have any romantic feelings for Sonia, who was also a beauty.

It's true that he likes beautiful women, but he also needs to be mindful of the occasion.

Their purpose in coming here was to see if they could join Kassadin's Cult of the Void.

While it's true that individuals have the freedom to undertake bounty missions, finding a powerful patron offers the chance to gain even greater power, an opportunity that is clearly not to be missed.

As they slowly climbed the steps and reached the top platform, they saw a tall stone tablet.

The doctrine prominently states that "the Great Void will give all beings the opportunity to believe in it, and if they are devout enough, the Void will respond."

This doctrine lets them know that they have a chance.

However, the other three precepts, including the requirement to always maintain rationality and the prohibition against cannibalism, made them shudder.

Judging solely from the doctrines and precepts inscribed on the stone tablet, it implies that one can gain power simply by believing in the Void God Cult.

However, that force doesn't seem to be controlled, nor is it easy to manage; there's a possibility it could get out of control.

Otherwise, the importance of staying rational at all times would not be mentioned.

Normally, it's not too late to tell people these things after they've already embraced the Void, joined the Void Cult, and there's no turning back.

But Kassadin, the god of the void, revealed these things directly.

"Hello, Ms. Sonia, what should I do?"

Lacey also saw the translated doctrines and precepts, knowing that if she seized this opportunity, she could get rid of her current job, so she asked respectfully without hesitation.

"It is written on the stone tablet that as long as one is devout enough, the void will respond."

Sonia saw the longing in Lacey's eyes and saw her own reflection in her. She knew that Lacey also wanted to escape her current situation, but she didn't say much and just recited what she had been told.

"Miss, could you give me a hint?"

“We don’t even understand what emptiness is, or what it means to be devout, and we don’t know what to do.”

Upon hearing Sonia's words, Kyle asked directly.

“Mr. Kassadin said that you can stay if you are willing to believe, and you can leave if you are not willing.”

"As for what the Void is, I will tell you once you have made your choice to join it."

Sonia smiled and said this.

"Kassadin, the God of the Void, established the Cult of the Void. Isn't that his plan to build up his power?"

"If you're planning to build a force, why make the recruitment criteria so mysterious?"

“The three of us are all superpowered, so recruiting us will definitely make us his help.”

Renoli was completely confused and asked, somewhat puzzled.

"For Mr. Kassadin, all intelligent beings have the opportunity to believe in the void."

"So whether you're an ordinary person or a superhuman, there's no difference between the two."

"The important thing is whether you are devout enough to be fortunate enough to receive the blessing of the great void."

Sonia stood before the temple gates, listening to these words, and smiled as she looked at Renoli.

"..."

Renault felt incredibly frustrated when he heard there was no difference.

As one of the first people to arrive, he thought that with his own abilities, he would be able to pass all kinds of tests and join the team.

Unexpectedly, the test given by the other party was not to test strength, but to test whether one was devout enough.

Sonia didn't give any hints either; who knows what exactly constitutes piety?

"Prophet, what did you ask?"

Kyle was also confused by these words, knowing that Renoir had not gotten any answers, so he looked at the Precognitive.

In the past, many problems could be resolved through the visionary, because in the future observed by the visionary, the visionary would take various actions to test the opinions of others.

"My abilities are ineffective on this island, so asking me is useless."

She said the test was written on the stone tablet, and that we could find out by studying the tablet.

"Anyway, Kassadin is willing to let us decide whether to stay or leave according to our own wishes."

"If your life is not in danger, there is no need to worry too much."

Upon hearing this, the one who knew the truth uttered a low, deep sound.

Upon arriving on this island, his signature skill of precognition became unusable, which actually made the person with the foresight extremely uneasy.

Therefore, he spoke very little along the way, always on guard against his surroundings, in case any unexpected situations arose that he couldn't avoid.

However, now that they know they have the freedom to choose to stay or leave, it means that Kassadin does not intend to kill them, which greatly reduces the unease in the minds of the prophet.

At least, being able to leave the island safely is a fortunate thing.

"I'd like to study it, but what exactly constitutes piety?"

Kyle heard the prophet's words, looked at the teachings on the stone tablet, and had no idea where to begin.

As bounty hunters, they have always been defiant and unruly, at most they will back down when they encounter someone stronger than themselves.

"Check it out, check it out."

Renoli knew he wouldn't get anything out of Sonia, and he didn't dare use force here, so he could only try to find a way.

"Piety is an attitude, a feeling of awe towards something."

"Similar to worshipping a deity?"

"It seems so."

"How many people still believe in God these days...?"

"Instead of discussing that, shouldn't we first consider what the void actually is?"

"I know nothing about where Kassadin came from, other than that."

Renoli, Kyle, and the Precognitive stood directly in front of the stone tablet and began to discuss the translations on it in detail.

Lacey, on the other hand, felt she had to cherish this opportunity.

"Great Void, grant me the power to escape my predicament."

Lacey murmured to herself, repeating herself over and over.

Because she was weak and could only earn money with her physical body, she experienced many things that ordinary people could not endure.

In this world, the weak often have no choice but to accept their fate passively.

Only those who have experienced the powerlessness of weakness yearn even more to gain the strength to make a difference.

Mr. Kassadin's postgraduate entrance exam predictions are extremely mysterious and easy to misunderstand.

She didn't know if her actions would be effective, but Lacey wouldn't leave easily no matter what.

She had mentally prepared herself before coming here after receiving the news.

Even if it means enduring severe trials, she is willing to do anything to ultimately gain the power to change her current situation and escape her predicament.

Chapter 98 Patience and Desire

Renoli, Kyle, and the Precognitive saw Lacey constantly muttering to herself.

"Does this really work?"

"I do not know."

"No way..."

The three of them discussed while observing Sonia, hoping to glean some useful information from her.

Sonia's expression remained unchanged, still smiling, making it impossible for them to find any useful information.

So the three of them could only continue looking at the precepts and doctrines on the stone tablet and ponder them on their own.

Several hours passed by in the blink of an eye.

Sonia received news that the chef had arrived on the island.

"I have some things to attend to. If you are willing to believe me, you can stay; if you don't believe me, you can leave the island on your own."

So Sonia looked at them, said something, and then left.

Lacey's eyes hardened as she watched Sonia leap from the temple, land on a tree below, easily dissipate her energy, and quickly disappear.

The other three could all see Sonia's movements clearly, and judging from the strength she displayed, it wasn't very strong.

However, they dared not underestimate Sonia, after all, the person behind Sonia was Kassadin, the god of the void.

"What do we do now?"

"It's been hours, and I still can't come up with a good solution."

Kyle said with a helpless expression.

"I have no idea what actions I can take to express my piety."

"If this drags on any longer, we might not be among the first to join after today."

Renoli couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Don't worry, it's not a bad thing if other people come."

"Tests usually test one's character. Let's stay here for a day or two and see."

"Since you're here, be more patient."

Seeing that the two of them were starting to get impatient, the prophet calmly said...

The two exchanged a glance and nodded.
