Sam finished by checking the device. Now, he sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes, and began to meditate. This is not for cultivation. There was not even a single strand of energy. In fact, he sealed his own cultivation at this moment and began to think.
Now it was time for him to process all the new information he received. With the talks he had with the gods as well as the battles he had with the two candidates, he gained a lot of information.
For starters, he found out about the blood arts they used and why they were similar. He even held his hand to see what exactly the technique was and let them complete the technique. Since he wanted to flex his own body for a while, then it became good. Otherwise, he would have already made a move and stopped them from using any form of secret art, at any cost if it was a real battle.
Moreover, he also learned that every other player except him had this blood art and everything was specially made by the gods.
The candidate selection had something more profound than he thought.
At first, he thought he was chosen at random and so were the other candidates and seemed to be right with the other Gods except the Gamblers.
Sam drew this guess from what Kartikeya said about Sam's so-called losses. At that moment, what he said might be what he was thinking, but it really did seem right.
The gambler must have actively sought it out and had already made all sorts of preparations including sending Yanwu, the divine dimension, the gathering of cultivation techniques, knowledge, and pill recipes.
As Kartikeya had said, they already had enough pressure to compete with each other since they had to go to the Inheritance Palace every three years. And not only do they have to contend with themselves, they also have to cross dimensions and compete with the locals in their respective areas.
It's been hard enough. That was why the gods made the decision to impart this special technique and Dimensional Crossing to these people.
But The Gambler seems to have risked everything related to this game. After all, if the chosen party was unable to properly utilize the current situation and did not know how to utilize what he was given, The Gambler would lose.
And one more thing, he understood that this thing was really a game. But instead of the game pieces, the players, are used and they will work independently not even knowing that their moves are being manipulated by the gods who sent them here.
Now that I think about all this, there is one question, what is the purpose of the game?
What did the gods expect from these twelve players? Of the three heritage palaces, the first was mostly testing overall talent in many aspects, the second belonged to the Monkey King testing combat prowess and the third tested commanding skills and battle acumen.
And in every palace, and every exam is related to the gods who are good at these things. They give gifts that are too precious to the world they are in right now.
Although, Kartikeya says that this is just entertainment, what kind of person would use that incredible art, resources, and hassle of sending an avatar to a different dimension alone just for entertainment?
Sam has a bad feeling about this.
He stopped his thoughts and opened his eyes. It is foolish to think too much about things that you cannot change.
He had to think about what to do at the moment.
By this time, he had sent orders to all the mines within the closest friendly States and countries. But it would take time, for him to obtain the materials needed.
In addition, he also had to order special herbs and other plants here along with ways to obtain resources from countries that were not friendly to Mov Empire.
Actually, he could use a Dimensional Drifter, but it was not economical at all. It costs too much to buy just a few metals, no matter how large the amount is. In fact, he could get a decent load of these items at just the cost of the trip if he used the Dimensional Drifter.
He wanted to ask Yodha if she could do something and get out of her cottage.
Meanwhile, in a realm that was too far away from the other creatures in the universe, there were twelve people sitting around the table as they discussed.
Indra was the first to speak.
"Three Palaces are finished, it's time we activate another part of the test. But we haven't even decided what tests we're going to use. So, today I call all of you here to make a decision on this. .
Currently, there are two proposals, I propose a vote."
And two people are neutral to one of the two proposals. They are Gambler and Kartikeya.
For some reason, Kartikeya carefully observed Gambler from the beginning of the meeting. After talking to Sam, he felt there was something wrong with the game this time around.
As the decision was once again contradictory, Gambler spoke.
"I don't know why we even quarreled over this. I would say using both methods, one for now and the other after the fourth palace, in fact, go ahead and make more proposals. We can use different ones every time.
What's all this unnecessary commotion for?"
He said it in an impatient voice. Everyone is dumbfounded. It's not that they don't think about it, but they're too bored to think complicated and create challenges. They do not want to repeatedly and decide to save only one format, and because the format will be there, the, they want it to be something they choose themselves so they can feel better about themselves.
Who says the gods are beyond pride, here they are fighting for the glory of this minute.
It was as if he could read their minds, Gambler said.
"It's not like you can only feel better by just having your own format. Using different formats proposed by different people can allow you to compare and you can be satisfied as much as you want if you can make a better test.
In any case, we can add an extra bet in this case so that we can also get super stuff from each other."
Everyone rolled their eyes, it was like The Gambler, he could enter gambling in every way, but the person in question did not even care and said.
"We're going to use the number one proposal this time and we have to pick one candidate to be on one side and eleven others on the other, so I think it's better to start voting on this."
"Let's call the single candidate the Black Horse. Now, let's start voting for the Black Horse candidate."
Kartikeya proposed and at this moment, almost half of them were followed by Indra giving the same name.
"Sam."
"Sam."
"Sam."
.
.
Gambler and the remaining six were dumbfounded. These are the people who support proposal one. Somehow they tried their hardest to push the proposal given by Indra so strong. After all, everyone on the team knew that no one could get along with Indra. Among the gods of the same level, Indra had the fewest friends, but he could still get this much support, this really made them think.
But now they understand. It's all a little trick to get Sam back. After all, everyone knew what happened in the first Palace. Indra feels her fragile ego is hurt because Sam rejects her enlightenment and tries to teach her a lesson and suppress her.
Sam did not take him lying down, after withstanding the pressure, not only did he not kneel down, he took out a sword and used all his strength to cut the statue of Indra in half. From that day on, Indra became the subject of jokes in this circle.
And this fellow even used a trick to place his thunder prison in the treasure of the second rank of the palace so that his candidate could have less competition.
But the candidate was stupid enough to realize it and Sam mastered it. From then on, this fellow must have been plotting against Sam and using something to persuade these people. The gambler does not care. He looked more excited and said.
"OK, since you guys made him a dark horse, I fought the remaining eleven. Let's take what you want to bet. I'm waiting for him."
