CHAPTER 36: DIVINE TRIALS

[Choose the interface you want.

Adult male

Adult female

Male child

The female child] The system asked.

"Female child" Jia replied.

[ Initializing interface...] The system announced.

"A new friend is coming over," Jia said with a giggle.

"Go away," Jia said smashing the chessboard into pieces.

"Jealous that you haven't won " Damon muttered.

[Interface complete] The system announced.

Jia rubbed her hands together in anticipation.

She closed her eyes and saw the body of a child.

"It's me, host," The child said with a giggle.

Jia frowned.

"Stay good," Jia said with a smile looking at Damon's expression.

"Why'd you bring a child!" Damon said pouting.

"You're a child" Jia replied.

" But I'm over 1,000 years old " Damon countered.

"You're still a child" Jia replied lazily making Damon clench his fists.

"I'll be doing a live stream soon," Jia told the system.

"Copy that, captain" It replied childishly.

"Get me a body" Damon screamed.

"Of course, you will be getting one soon," Jia said with a smirk.

Damon stared at her wishing he could know what was running through her mind.

Jia got back to her room and saw that she had a message on her linker.

"Those psychos want to see me tomorrow. Oh no, not again!" Jia said facepalming.

'What do they want ' Jia thought to herself groaning.

Jia didn't sleep but spent the whole night cultivating.

"Host has leveled up" The system announced in its childish voice.

Jia sighed in exasperation.

Jia got up and went to the spatial door alone because the message specified for her to be alone.

The spatial orientation warped, and Jia found herself in the same place

The seven of them appeared to look ethereal.

" You sent for me," Jia said with false confidence.

"Ah Yes. Something is coming up and we'd like to invite you but then I don't know if you'll be interested" The spirit said.

"What," Jia asked.

"The Divine trials. It's a sort of contest kind of thing" The succubus answered.

"And why can't you go by yourselves?" Jia asked them skeptically.

"Good question. There's a requirement that the contestants should be below the age of 100" The vampire replied.

"This makes no sense. You could have easily found someone else. What exactly do you want? " Jia said coldly.

"Go, girl!" Damon said fawning.

Jia cringed.

"Because, if you go, I'll give you a position here. Among us" The boss finally said

Jia looked at all of them.

" I'll think about it. I'm taking my leave, if you don't mind" Jia said going to the spatial door and entering it.

They stared at her, short of words.

Jia thought for a second before re-entering the spatial door.

She saw them staring at each other but none of them dared to say a word.

"I am starting to consider it and I might go. But the divine trials itself, what is it all about" Jia asked them.

"You will go to the divine trials and do what we ask you to do without complaining," The spirit said compellingly.

"Mental attack detected.

Mental attack blocked" The system said in its childish voice.

Jia tilted her head to look the spirit in the eye.

"And why should I?" Jia asked tauntingly.

The spirit looked stunned that its skill didn't work.

"You better start talking," Jia said.

"Who are you?" The spirit asked.

"I am what you think I am," Jia said.

They looked at her with a puzzled look.

"The truth is none of us have an idea of what goes on in the divine trials. Every time it occurs, whatever happens, is hidden. The participants aren't allowed to talk about it" The boss explained.

"Oh so you don't know what goes on in there and you want me to go. Do you want me to die?!" Jia countered.

"We have made preparations for that of course" He replied with a smile.

"It comes up in a few weeks" He continued.

"Seems interesting," Jia muttered.

"You're a freak," Damon said.

"Are you going alone?" The wolf asked.

"No. I'm going with about 20 people" Jia replied.

"Is it a sect?" The demoness asked.

"Yeah. The Hades sect" Jia replied taking French leave.

"See you some other time," Jia said with a quirky look and entered the spatial door.

She reappeared in the underworld.

Jia went to see Femzi.

"What're the divine trials?" Jia directly asked.

"How did you know about that?" He asked.

"Those psychos want me to go there" Jia replied.

"I've registered anyway. What are the advantages of being one of them?" Jia asked.

"One of them? What do you mean?" Femzi asked with a confused look.

"They offered me to be one of them if I agree to go. Like we'll become eight" Jia explained

"You can't do that," Femzi said coldly.

"What if I want to?" Jia taunted.
