Chapter 616 – Testing the Alpha Test Player, Diluted Blood Pill

Ding

<You have obtained 3 Blank Planets as a reward for killing a hostile player.>

<Blank Stellar Stars, Planets, Moons, and Planes can be traded, gifted, contributed to Heavenly Dao, or converted to your strength.>

<Please choose an action to deal with new blank planets.>

Killing a player netted him so many new planets as Miaomiao set his hatred toward Pan Mei as 4 stars. He got three of Pan Mei's dantian planets as a bonus even after he had stolen all the latter's Qi.

However, Pan Mei's status menu still showed that his stellar stars and planets only decreased by a little.

…

[Basic Information]

Name: Pan Mei (Dead, Respawning in 71 hours 59 minutes)

Race: War Seraphim

Cultivation Rank: 11th Stage (Transcendent Soul)

Potential Percentage: 75%

Role: Alpha Test Player

Title: Trash of the Pan Clan, Protagonist of the Primordial Age

Patron: Gaea

[Energy Pool]

Current Soul Essence: 0 Crystal

Dantian Capacity: 9 Stellar Stars, 32 Planets, 103 Planes

…

The three planets that Pan Mei lost went to Miaomiao as expected, and his potential percentage also decreased by 3 %.

The Antagonist's authority in Pangu's game seemed atrociously powerful.

Miaomiao grinned. Now, he understood why the system branded him as an antagonist even though his protagonist's luck overshadowed his villain's luck.

'Too bad his respawn time is 3 days. This should give me some room to breathe while I'm doing something else. But if that motherfucker attacks me, I'll increase my hatred point to 5 stars and rob his luck.'

This kill was to test the new system and the consequences of provoking a player. He needed to make sure that he could handle a protagonist gamer before he could take any drastic measures, such as stealing Pan Mei's luck with Plot Armor Plundering Dao and cursing him to death.

After all, the game was still in alpha test, and Miaomiao needed to prepare for the real game. When countless players entered the universe, he needed to know the pros and cons of his actions.

Secondly, robbing all Pan Mei's luck and killing him with a death curse right away might accidentally cause unpredictable outcomes and consequences. Miaomiao still had no idea if his curse would kill the real body of the players or it would kill only the game avatars, so he only used it to test the system.

Furthermore, had the real player in another dimension died because of his curse while the game was still in the alpha test, the game administrators from the other dimension or petty sages might even come down to fix the source of this bug, aka Miaomiao!

In short, Miaomiao was not confident that he could deal with the extreme aftermath. Laying low while gathering more information might be a safer choice.

For now, he planned to lay low. Once Miaomiao was strong enough to challenge sages, he might do something bold, such as slaughtering every player with his Plot Armor Plundering Dao or destroying their karma strings of existence!

Miaomiao rubbed his fingers and smirked as he was confident in his life goal.

He glanced at the giant mandragora, which had been suspended in mid-air due to the time domain's power.

The mandragora also glared back at Miaomiao, but it couldn't move an inch or use its power.

Miaomiao smirked. He gently put the mandrake down and leaped on it to stand on its massive face.

He squatted and poked the mandrake's forehead with Killer Queen.

"I know that you can hear my voice, and you can sense everything around you. If you understand what I'm saying, move your eyes up and down. If you don't comply, I'll chop you into a million pieces and feed you to centipedes!"

"…"

The mandragora's pupils narrowed. However, it rolled its eyes up and down.

Miaomiao actually wasn't confident that the mandragora was strong enough to resist his Chrono Domain. But now, it confirmed that it somewhat resisted the time domain, and it could potentially overcome it.

Still, Miaomiao was sad. It also proved that the stopwatch's power was superior to his Chrono Domain.

"Good. My order is simple. Be my servant, and I'll let you live!"

The mandragora looked left and right, declining Miaomiao's order.

"I see. Then, let me change the approach. Give me your mandragora seed, and I'll leave you alone."

The mandragora looked up and down this time.

Since the mandrake was cooperating, Miaomiao withdrew his domain and allowed it to move.

The giant plant glared at Miaomiao in resentment, but it didn't move or attack him. Instead, a flower bloomed on top of its head and spat a finger-sized seed.

As soon as the seed appeared, the mandragora flew away.

Miaomiao didn't pursue after the plant. He picked the seed and put it in his system inventory. As for the real mandragora, he left it alone since it was the property of the sect.

Again, Miaomiao didn't want to provoke the entire Eden Garden Sect. Although offending Grand Elder Mu was okay, offending the entire sect was a suicide.

After getting the seed, Miaomiao flew toward the exit portal. He presented a corpse of a mandragora to the deacon without saying anything.

The deacon only glanced at the mandrake. He nodded and returned the corpse to Miaomiao.

"You pass. Exit the plane and wait for the next round."

"Cool."

…

Miaomiao was the first to come out of the herb plane. When he came out, he noticed that the sect had been broadcasting every action of the exam takers.

Casualties occurred, but the grand elders didn't seem to care.

He disliked this part of the cultivation world. All natives treated mortals and weak cultivators as if they were livestock.

'That is your personal resource, motherfuckers! You think immortals are cabbages?'

While Miaomiao's expression was dark, he heard the sound transmission of Fu Daotian.

'Are you alright, Fellow Daoist Mao?'

Miaomiao glanced at Fu Daotian, who was floating next to Xie Lian. He narrowed his eyes as he had a suspicion.

'I'm okay.'

'For a second there, your murderous intent was too obvious. You should restrain your emotion a bit more or a heart demon will be born from your hatred.'

Miaomiao sighed, 'I'm just sad. Thank you for your warning.'

'Why are you sad? Shouldn't you be happy that you are the top candidate to be promoted to an outer disciple?'

'No. Not that. It's just… the second test is kinda waste the human resources. Eden Garden Sect could have used a milder approach and let the weak immortals live. They could have been assigned as janitors or miscellaneous workers of the sect.'

'I see what you mean. True, it's a waste of human resources, but it has to be done to ingrain the angst of death to the young immortals. Also, cocky immortals are destined to die sooner or later anyway. Let them serve as cannon fodders to remind others that failure means death.'

Miaomiao couldn't argue with Fu Daotian. The sect downright sacrificed the weak to nurture the strong.

Although Miaomiao had no remorse for letting the weak die, he felt pity that the precious cultivation resources and energy tanks perished so easily.

He could have killed them and stolen all their luck, element essence, and soul essence crystals instead of letting them die in vain.

"My EXP…"

…

After half an hour, another successful initiate came out from the herb plane.

He was none other than Horus, who had been slapped and sent to the void. He managed to return and completed the mission.

After Horus came out, initiates and candidates followed. Each of them captured a weak mandragora that could barely use Fire Element Providence Qi.

The total passed candidates were 10, including Miaomiao and Horus. 15 candidates made it out alive. As for the rest, they might have been turned into the herb plane's fertilizer.

Looking at the number of qualified people, Miaomiao had heartache.

"My EXP… My customers… My lifespan…"

Miaomiao didn't care about their lives. He cared about his profits and their lifespan.

What a waste!

Grand Elder Mu gazed at the group of remaining survivors. Then, he checked the number of another group of test-takers, who fought for their initiate status.

Unlike the first group, the second group didn't have a casualty. They took a milder exam by attacking a strength measurement boulder to test their offensive power.

Since Grand Elder Mu was in charge of handling the third round, he spoke out loud, revealing the content of the next test.

"The third round will be the test of aptitude, spiritual roots, and potential. There will be no fighting in this round."

The surviving test-takers let out a sigh of relief.

Grand Elder Mu waved his hand and a platform appeared. Then, he revealed an evil grin.

"The first group of initiates and candidates must stand on the platform and receive random attacks from Heavenly Tribulation Clouds! A total of three attacks will hit you. If you can survive, you will pass this exam, and you will be automatically accepted as an outer disciple of Eden Garden!"

Horus widened his eyes and repeatedly shook his head, "Why are this year's exams so brutal?! Last year, you let everybody challenge any outer disciple to win their position. Why are you trying to kill your candidates and initiates?!"

Grand Elder Mu sneered, "Lord Adam has raised the sect's standard this year. Everybody must get used to life-and-death situations. Lord Adam also promised that he is coming to observe the third round and pick promising candidates or initiates to promote them as vessels of Nuwa!"

Everybody suddenly turned to Miaomiao as they knew that he and Adam had some sort of connection. They thought that this year's tests were tailored for Miaomiao so that he could be promoted and moved to the Eden Garden Planet.

Still, some of the spectators found Grand Elder Mu's action odd. They believed that Grand Elder Mu and Miaomiao hated each other. Why would the former help the latter?

They got their answer soon. Grand Elder Mu pointed at Miaomiao.

"I know that many of you think that the previous tests were tailored to promote Mao Miaomiao. Therefore, Mao Miaomiao, you will be the first to take the test. Get on the platform!"

"…"

Miaomiao narrowed his eyes and glanced at the floating platform next to Grand Elder Mu. He recognized the aura of this platform.

'Heavenly Tribulation Magnetic Lightning Field.'

Miaomiao had one stellar planet with that power after he had gone through one of the pagoda's floors.

Heavenly Tribulation Magnetic Lightning Field worked similarly to the power of gravity of Chrono Element. However, it contained the Dao of Heavenly Tribulation, which could either refine or destroy any being that it attacked.

Miaomiao also obtained the Dao of Gravity and Magnetic Field from that floor. With this Dao and his current physique, he didn't think that the natural power of Heavenly Tribulation Dao could harm him anymore.

He flew toward the platform and sneered at Grand Elder Mu.

Grand Elder Mu also noticed it. He grinned and presented Miaomiao with a pill bottle with a silver pill inside.

"I forgot to give this to you. This is the prize for winning the first round. It is a plane condensation pill that can help you. I suggest you eat it before you take the exam."

Miaomiao glanced at the pill bottle and shrugged, "Old trick, I see."

"What trick?"

Miaomiao suddenly opened the pill bottle and flickered the pill into Grand Elder Mu's mouth.

"Since it's now mine, I'll give it to you. Enjoy!"

Because of Miaomiao's NPC System, he could identify items with a glance.

A system window showed the description of the pill.

…

Pill of Diluted Chaos Demon God's Blood

Chaos Demon Gods once endangered the Heavenly Dao of Zenith Heaven, Sage Realm, Great Chaos, and Fate Heaven. They used to enslave every entity and dominated every realm.

Fortunately, Pangu vanquished 3,000 Chaos Demon Gods along with their supreme leader, Chaos Seraphim. All realms were freed from Chaos Demon God's tyranny, and sages were born.

However, the blood of the dead Chaos Demon Gods still scatters in the Great Chaos Realm, which turns everything around the blood into sentient evil spirits. Sage Nuwa accidentally got caught with a drop of blood and decided to weaken its menacing power by diluting it. She succeeded in sealing the blood into a thousand diluted blood pills.

Although the power was diluted, it should not be consumed regardless of circumstances. The pill consumer will instantly grow several heart demons, and they will destroy the consumer's Dao Hearts and soul within one incense stick.

Effect: Awaken 100 Heart Demons.
