Chapter 144 The Time Draws Near…
Another month flashes by in the people's lives of the Origin Lust Sword Dimension.
The once lust forest was now turned into a metropolis and was under the final phase of its construction, which should be done in a week. This means the humans achieved the goal of creating the capital city ahead of the deadline given by Cyrus, and everyone was very happy about it.
Because once the city was done, they were all finally getting their hands on the cultivation scripture promised by Cyrus and starting a new life in this dimension with limitless potential.
The humans had never experienced this sort of harmony before as they did in the past two months. It was a novel feeling to build something together while giving their 110%.
This also made them feel more attached to this place which they built together with their own hands, even more, attached to their previous homes.
This brings a foreign warmth to everyone's hearts as they all see each other as a united front instated of different individuals with different social classes and statuses.
They were all with the same status and working toward a common goal, and this was what truly brought out humanity's true potential if they did not start putting discrimination and dividing themselves by status and race.
However, to such a thing, it can only be done when someone like Cyrus, with absolute power over their lives, would be guiding them.
Furthermore, in the past two months, those with leadership qualities also started to stick out among the masses as they all overlooked the works and instructed others.
Although building a structure was quite easy with many experts present in the former Albert City, it wasn't difficult either once someone got the basics down, and all those people were at least class one sorcerers. Hence, learning construction was quite easy for them.
But those who were born with leadership qualities that can make others follow them were rare in any nation or country.
Right now, there were over 900 such individuals present in the imperial city who was overseeing the entire construction work, distributing workloads, and rations, keeping everything in flow, and such.
Furthermore, these people didn't use any tricks to get these positions, for they won them with public trust and putting effort. The people made them what they were because they trusted them.
Naturally, all these people were under Cyrus's radar as he sometimes helped to build massive structures, which would take too much time for the humans to build, and he even gave instructions when he felt something was not going according to his will.
The biggest contributor to the city was still Cyrus himself, who wanted to make it perfect and presentable, and that's what made those humans not dare to slack off, either.
In these individuals, the former Albert City Lord, Cayson, has contributed quite a lot with his expertise in administration and economy, and he made sure the entire Albert Family contributed to this as well. Especially his only daughter among his four children.
Right now, if people were envious of other than the five women by Cyrus's side, they were envious of other women because of their Temple Maiden status they will have in the dimension, and only they can join the temple.
This naturally made the women in the dimension somewhat arrogant, and they started to make all sorts of plans to stick out in front of the Dimension Ruler.
The families with excellent female descendants were over the moon as they all started to treat them like rare gems.
While some of the young married couples suffered the fate of marriage destruction because of the ambition of their women.
All in all, the status of the women was at an all-time high among the humans; however, no one let it get to their heads, as Cyrus had made it clear that if someone tried to take advantage of his kindness, they would not be treated lightly.
Right now, Cayson was overseeing the construction of the imperial city wall, which was 1000 meters tall and 300 meters thick and had eight massive gates!
A man approached Cayson and said, "Sir. Cayson, your daughter is here!"
Cayson smiled as he nodded, "Alright, the construction of the final gate is already about to be over. I'll see her."
Cayson then moved toward the lift built in the wall and headed down, and there he met with a beautiful white dainty girl, about 18 years old and in age and wearing a yellow dress, waiting for him. She was his daughter, Vivial.
"Dad! Uncle Wilder said since the construction work is about to be over, he wanted to have a feast over his place, and he invited all of our family." Vivial cheerfully hops toward Cayson like a small rabbit.
Cayson smiled gently as he hugged his lovely daughter and chuckled, "I was just wonderingly why my little tomb boy would dress so pretty today and not working. So that's the reason."
Vivial cutely pouted while escaping from her father's embrace as she retorted, "Dad! Stop calling me a tomboy! What if His Majesty Lust heard it?"
"Hmph, the temple is not even open, and you already have dreams about His Majesty Lust? How I missed my little tomboy, who didn't put any men in her eyes before." Cayson jokingly teased.
Vivial blushed as she didn't retort this time and shyly said, "Every woman wanted to enter the temple and adore His Majesty Lust as no one can rival his grandness and handsomeness. So, I'm not the only one who wants to enter his temple. Even our rival families are preparing for this, especially that little harpy, Angie!"
A hint of coldness flashed past both father and daughter's eyes at this moment.
"She's the only other girl of your age who can rival you in talent. The Jakob Family now no longer afraid of me or my status, they're finally showing their ambition, and we can do nothing but fight fair and square.
"But don't worry too much about it. If His Majesty Lust really fair, he won't pick others by their looks but abilities. Everyone is in the same boat, and once the city is complete, that's when the true fight for status begins." Cayson said matter-of-factly while he and Vivial started walking.
Vivial also showed a determined look at this moment, "I know that's why I've been studying our city records and keeping an eye out for other potential threats when the temple will finally be opened.
"The biggest competition will naturally come from the former dimension divers, and then there are the Jakob family and 48 other families with inheritance at least a level below us but excellent nevertheless. Last, be not least, there are those ordinary folks who used to be commoners in our city."
Cayson pulled a gratified smile as he nodded in acknowledgment, "You didn't let me, little girl. As long as you are about your rivals, you can easily win over them."
Vivial giggled happily as she nodded, "Big brother said the same thing, and he helped me a lot with this research as well."
"That brat will have a chance to rise in the named title, and if you can enter the temple, then our Albert Family's status will be set in stone," Cayson stated with clear ambition in his eyes.
While both father and daughter were making plans as the time for the completion of the Imperial Origin Lust Sword City drew near, the others with the same sort of ambition also started to get active.
Everyone has almost the same goal, either get a named title and rise above the others faster or get into the temple and achieve the same thing.
On the other hand, the Origin Lust Sword Temple was also going through a certain change.
Today, Rita broke into the Qi core realm and again took the second-floor test, and she cleared all the phases even faster than Hilda had and finally became the Temple Worshiper.
However, she hasn't stopped and took the third-floor trial after all the training she had gone through under Cyrus.
Furthermore, under Cyrus's constant visits, the twins were also able to achieve the peak of the Body Qi Tempering Realm even Carla achieved the same just yesterday, which means he now has to fulfill his promise to Carla. At the same time, Hilda was still in seclusion for two months.
However, first, he was more interested in seeing the third-floor trial and Rita's performance.
The third floor was also an open grass field like the second floor, and the only difference was there were two streaming rivers on two opposite sides of this floor.
Rita stood there tall, wearing a tight blue dress, which revealed her mature and magnificent figure and her gorgeous face was icy and mature. She had a completely different vibe than two months ago, like she was a completely different person, and her aura was even deeper.
At this moment, the system's voice sounded,
"[Welcome to the Third Trial Floor, Temple Worshiper Rita!]
