196: First trigger additional selection

The white-haired young man standing in the middle.

Naturally, that was Fang Yuan!

He looked up at the soaring green flames before him, a hint of determination appearing in his pale pupils.

'Since I'm here, I'll make the best of it.'

'Although I don't know why I was resurrected in this person's body.'

'But since I'm alive.'

'Then I will live a wonderful life in this lifetime too!'

Suspended in mid-air around the altar were ten thrones, each occupied by an Elder of the Myriad Medicine Evil Sect.

They were either bald men with scarred faces and fierce looks, or ugly white-haired women with purple lips and heavy eye makeup, or burly lion-men wearing black armor and with lion heads...

Although their races and personalities differed.

Without exception.

Each and every one of them was a notorious fiend in this chaotic land of Wan Zhou!

And at this moment.

Looking at the white-haired man on the altar, the attitudes of these Ten Elders varied greatly.

"A mere second tribulation of Mixed Origin, what qualifications does he have to be our Cult Leader?"

"Hmph! The cult rules are like this, whoever is recognized by the wan yao token is the Cult Leader! Since Fang Yuan can be recognized by the wan yao token, then I recognize him as the Cult Leader!"

"Rules are dead, people are alive, aren't we Ten Elders gathered together this time to change the cult rules?"

"Stop arguing! Since he is willing to undergo the Cult Leader trial, let's see the result first!"

"Right! As long as he can pass, this temple will have no objection!"

"This King too!"

Below the altar.

The elite cult members of the Myriad Medicine Evil Sect stood in neat rows and columns, like well-trained private troops.

No one dared to utter a single word, let alone whisper to each other.

[Narration: Fang Yuan has activated the switch to start the Cult Leader trial.]

[The trial is about to begin.]

In the picture.

At the top of the soaring green flames, four balls of eerie green light suddenly shot out. Like free souls that had escaped their cages, they danced freely in the air for a moment.

Then, they circled around the soaring green flames and flew down, finally stopping in a row in the air in front of Fang Yuan.

"Four came..."

"It seems that having low cultivation is indeed not favored."

Fang Yuan chuckled self-deprecatingly.

After absorbing the memories of this body, he already knew that the so-called "Cult Leader trial" was both difficult and simple.

In short, it was for the past Cult Leaders to judge whether the new Cult Leader was qualified.

Those who had objections would fly out and make demands.

Those who had no objections would stay put.

If nothing changed after starting the trial, it meant that all the past Cult Leaders approved, which was the best situation.

Conversely.

The more divine sense light balls flew out, the more former Cult Leaders had opinions, and the difficulty of the trial would naturally increase - these divine sense light balls were left behind by the past Cult Leaders during their tenure, and the true bodies of most of the Cult Leaders had even perished.

"Interesting, only at the Mixed Origin realm."

In the first divine sense light ball, a distorted black shadow of a large man with ox horns appeared. The black shadow continuously rippled like water in the light ball.

It was very unstable.

All the Elders, including Fang Yuan, recognized it at a glance. This was the second Cult Leader, the Ox Demon God Zhou Wang.

"Cult Leader Zhou! Please test me!"

Fang Yuan cupped his hands respectfully, his face showing reverence.

[Life Choice Triggered!]

[Currently available for extra selection: Zhou Wang]

'Hmm!?'

Lin Sheng on Tianyun Mountain raised his eyes, secretly delighted: 'Has this extra selection function finally been triggered?'

[You (Zhou Wang) are very dissatisfied with this new Cult Leader because his cultivation is too low.]

[So you decide that the test for him is——]

[A: Have him refine a hundred Ascension Pills on the spot.]

[B: Have him compose a cult song on the spot.]

[C: Have him flatter all Ten Elders.]

[D: Have him reveal all his inner privacy and secrets.]

Lin Sheng hesitated slightly and chose D.

"Good!"

The ox-horned figure in the divine sense light ball spoke: "My trial is also very simple. As long as you honestly tell all your inner privacy and secrets, then you pass my test!"

What!?

All privacy and secrets!?

Fang Yuan was greatly astonished by this trial.

Shouldn't it be a test of alchemy or strategy or something?

How did it directly target his privacy?

Should he say it, or not?

The heart of this Heavenly Mandated Protagonist was extremely conflicted!

The Ten Elders had never heard of such a trial, and their gazes fixed on Fang Yuan were full of curiosity.

What... would he do?

[Breakdown Value +30!]

At the same time, Lin Sheng, who had made his choice, stared directly at Fang Yuan in the picture.

He also felt a little novelty in his heart.

'This is the first time this extra selection function has been triggered. So this is how it works, influencing the protagonist through external factors.'

'What choice he makes will truly depend on the protagonist himself.'

Before, he had always made the choices for the protagonist.

Letting the protagonist consider it himself occasionally was also a different feeling. (ps: The extra selection function only appears occasionally, the core is still to make choices for the protagonist)

Center of the light screen.

Fang Yuan was frowning tightly, his face full of hesitation.

What he was thinking about now was not whether to say it or not.

But... was it worth it to reveal his secrets in order to become the Cult Leader recognized by the Elders?

After a long silence.

Fang Yuan finally let out a heavy sigh.

"Forget it!"

"Privacy is a person's bottom line. If even this can be revealed at will, then what bottom line do I have left?"

"If I have to abandon everything for the position of Cult Leader, then I would rather not sit in this position!"

In the end, he still chose to keep his privacy.

[Breakdown Value +10]

The Ten Elders seemed to have expected this result and merely sneered.

And the Ox Demon God Zhou Wang in the divine sense light ball laughed heartily: "Have you thought it through?"

Seeing this.

Fang Yuan sneered.

"The words have been spoken, how can I go back on them!?"

[You no longer plan to become the Cult Leader of this Myriad Medicine Evil Sect, and you no longer care about everyone in this cult.]

[That's why you dare to speak so loudly.]

[Seeing that many Elders showed admiration for you, you were overjoyed and decided to add fuel to the fire——]

[A: Add ten fires, set the mountain on fire.]

[B: Reveal your secret, and say directly that they are not worthy.]

[C: Reveal your secret, and beg them to give you another chance.]

[D: Reveal your secret, and beg them all to stab you.]

This time, it was time to make a choice for Fang Yuan.

D!

Lin Sheng was skilled and familiar with the process.

"Actually, I transmigrated."

The Elders saw that Fang Yuan had just finished sneering, when he suddenly said a long string of words with a serious face: "I was originally from another world, living in Yaoxian Valley, my Master was called Chunshan Old Immortal, I..."

"After I died, I didn't expect that I would have a day of resurrection, I actually came into this person's body..."

Huh?

What he said was... his privacy, his secret?

The Elders looked at each other.

"He said he is not Fang Yuan, but Fang Yuan from another world?"

"It should be another domain... If he really said that, then the original Fang Yuan isn't dead!?"

"Damn it! This is a fake!"

[Breakdown Value +80!]
