[Congratulations! You have finished The Trial of Primordial!]

[You have advanced to the Primordial Rank!]

[Please choose the following rewards!]

[(Bloodline) (Class) (Artifact)]

Tang Shaoyang recalled all the spirits, canceling his transformation and also the Spirit Integration. He summoned all the spirits so he could finish the trial as fast as he could, including the Archaic Spirit, Avyn, and also The Mythical Spirit, Karoen. He did not know how long for him to finish the trial, but it should be faster than the Trial of Myth.

It was now for the most important part. He planned to take Artifact again because he wanted to save the class and the bloodline for the trial of Legend and Demi-God. That was his original plan, but he had to change it now. He needed something that could boost his strength, as a whole.

An artifact might help him if he got something similar to the Nine Heavenly Gates, but the chance to get that was so low. He did not want to take the risk, so it was between bloodline and class.

"The Black Dragon's bloodline is strong, but I want a big upgrade instead of a small upgrade…." Tang Shaoyang muttered in a low voice. If he got the weaker bloodline, his current bloodline would be upgraded to a new different level. It was unknown how strong the upgrade was, so again, he did not want to take the risk. His remaining choice would be the class.

His original path would be Artifact for the Primordial Rank, then he would take the class for the Legend Rank, and the last trial was to upgrade his bloodline. He was so reluctant to take the class right now, but that was his only choice to up his strength to another level. He could not bet on his luck to choose Artifact as he did not have the time.

"Can I reach level 8000 within the next month?" Tang Shaoyang asked the question himself. He reached the Primordial Rank from the Myth Rank for a few months. That was the fastest jump in his rank for sure, but could he pick up the pace? That was the question in his head.

"If I summon a few Mythical Spirits, I might be able to do it," He muttered in a low voice. The problem with the Spirit Sacrifice was the source of the sacrifice. The Elder Flame Wyrm was his second Mythical Spirit, and it took him a lot to summon one.

[I don't think sacrificing the spirits is wise. You are slowly becoming the enemy of the spirit, and it will be just a matter of time before all the spirits you summon will not form a contract with you.] Karoen, The Void Knight, tried to persuade Tang Shaoyang not to use the shortcut of Spirit Sacrifice. There was a consequence for doing that, and that was Tang Shaoyang would become the enemy of the spirits.

"I don't have a choice, Karoen," Tang Shaoyang replied with no hesitation. His mind was set, just like the message he sent to his women. He was ready to be a monster to protect them all, "I will be a monster or the enemy of the spirit if that's the price that I have to pay to protect my people."

Karoen could not say anything to refute that. He might do the same if he was faced with a similar case, but he had done his job. He reminded his Master, so His Master was ready for the consequence.

[You just need to beat the spirit to form a contract with them, no? The spirit has no choice but to form a contract if they lose to you.] Meanwhile, Avyn supported Tang Shaoyang's decision for the Spirit Sacrifice. Of course, as long as it was not her the subject of the sacrifice.

"Rather than speaking about the Spirit Sacrifice, there's something better for you guys to discuss and help me. Should I take the class or the Artifact?" Tang Shaoyang could not really decide. His heart and mind told him to choose the Artifact, but his circumstances forced him to choose the class.

[Why do you want to take the gamble when what you need is so clear in front of you? You know that you should choose a class, right?] It was Avyn who gave him a reply first. [Take the class, and you might even get a more valuable Artifact above the Nine Heavenly Gates if you save it later. It's not like you will get a bad reward for choosing Artifact later.]

[I would say you need to take the gamble and choose Artifact. Since you are determined to sacrifice Spirit, you might reach Level 8000 quickly enough and faster, so might as well gamble it. Bad choice, but might be a big win for you.] Karoen gave the unexpected answer.

The two strongest spirits had a split opinion, and he needed the third opinion which was Zara, "What do you think Zara?"

The Angel of Death let out a sigh in Tang Shaoyang's head, "I might not know you much, but I know that you want to pick Artifact. I will not give you a definitive answer. The wise and smart choice will be the class. Again, you can gain more than what you get from class by choosing the artifact. However, don't forget that if you get something similar to the Nine Heavenly Gates but better, you will need more time to master it. You haven't even mastered The Nine Heavenly Gates. All in all, Artifact is a bad choice. But you follow your heart and don't regret your decision. You make your choice and you live up to the consequence. It's always been like that."

Tang Shaoyang let out a chuckle as he felt familiar with the last part, 'Make my choice and live up to the consequence, hah?'

He also had the same thought. The smart choice would be the class, and he should take the class for the reward. However, he followed his heart instead of making his choice based on his circumstance. He knew it was stupid, and he might lose everything, but his instinct just never went wrong, at least, never wrong since the Game started. He was set with the decision from the start but tried to look for the justification to choose Artifact.

"I am stupid, so I will choose Artifact!"
