“The price to pay for the Door of Everlasting Life is a life for a life right?” Zhao Yao looked at Arria and said, “One of the most important materials in building the door is fresh blood. The blood is best when taken from a life with intelligence right?”
Arria looked at Zhao Yao in surprised. “How do you know?” Then, he remembered his experience in the dream and nodded. It was natural for Zhao Yao to know.
For Matcha and the rest it was just one night but, for Arria and Asser it was an eternity.
Afterall Diana was Lv15 and when she cast her powers, every second that passed in the real world was twenty plus hours in the dreamscape. If she cast her powers after transforming, the time in dreamscape could be more than thirty hours for every second in the real world,
Arria and Asser was stuck in the dream for the whole night and spent many years in dreamscape.
They were surrounded by zombie Zhao Yao, chased by ghost Zhao Yao, terrified by hundred meters tall monster Zhao Yao and was under pursuit by robotic Zhao Yao across several continents ...
The experience they had in one night was enough for them to write novels of a few million words and of multiple genres like spiritual, sci-fi, city life and more.
Due to the lasting memories of the dreams, they had an ingrained fear of Zhao Yao.
Zhao Yao continued. “I will ask all the cats on the Cat Island to help you build the Door of Everlasting Life as for the fresh blood that you need for building the door, I will be providing that.”
“You will be providing?” Arria said. “The amount of blood required is huge. Especially if the blood is not from a being with intelligence, the amount needed will be multiplied by ten times. The last time I built the Door of Everlasting Life, I used animal blood and it took us very long to collect them.
It also has to be a life for a life. If animals are used, the amount of animals needed is also alarming. I could only gather enough animals because I ruled the entire kingdom...”
“Don’t worry. I will do it.”
When Arria saw that Zhao Yao did not say anything, he thought to himself, “Judging by how cruel this devil is, he may do anything to build the Door of Everlasting Life.”
With Zhao Yao’s full support, hundreds of supercats used their powers and a stone door that was a dozen meters tall was built in the north of the Cat Island.
It was different from the giant door and fortress in North Africa, there was no need to build Arria’s palace here. Only the door would be built. With hundreds of cats using their powers plus Zhao Yao and Bai Quan transporting the materials personally, in less than three days, the general structure was ready.
This day, Arria stood on top of the Door of Everlasting Life and looked at Zhao Yao. “Now, we need to use fresh blood and pour it onto the Door of Everlasting Life to activate it. But... where is the blood you prepared?”
Arria looked at the empty patch of land in front of the door and had no idea where he was going to get a large amount of blood to pour onto the Door of Everlasting Life.
Zhao Yao grabbed Lucifer out from his arms and said, “It’s here.”
Arria was taken aback. “A cat?”
Zhao Yao did not hesitate to stab Lucifer in the chest and accompanied by Lucifer’s groans, fresh blood poured out. The blood splashed across Arria’s foot.
Arria frowned. “One cat is not enough...” Then, he thought. ‘What a cruel and evil guy. How could he do this to his own cats.’
Before Arria could finish his sentence, he saw Zhao Yao left the dagger in Lucifer’s chest. Then, Zhao Yao pressed Lucifer’s body to squeeze out more blood.
“Ahh!” Lucifer was struggling. “Zhao Yao... You... what do you want! Don’t stab me.”
Arria saw how ‘cruel’ Zhao Yao was and chills ran down his spine. “This fellow is too brutal, I better not offend him.”
Zhao Yao looked at the amount of blood Lucifer was producing in dissatisfaction. “This is too little, this will take too long.”
Then, to Arria’s surprise, Zhao Yao released Deflective Field’s sword aura, chopped off one of his own arms and watch the gushing blood pour onto the Door of Everlasting Life.
“You! You! You!” Arria was shocked by Zhao Yao’s action and thought to himself, “This is too brutal! Isn’t this too inhumane? He chopped himself?”
However, after watching a while, he saw the Zhao Yao’s arm heal and grow out then, he understood. “This is the Ultra Rapid Regeneration power? Even if it is Ultra Rapid Regeneration. it will still hurt right?”
He saw Zhao Yao tremble when he chopped off his arm again. Arria thought, “He is so cruel, it must hurt. How can he endure it? However, even if this is the case, wanting to use his own blood to supply the door is ridiculous.”
Five hours later...
Arria was lying on the Door of Everlasting Life in shock, he looked at the puddle of blood under him and looked at Zhao Yao, who was still bleeding. He thought, “This works? Even if it is Ultra Rapid Regeneration, is he a robot? How can he torture himself like this?”
Another five hours passed and Zhao Yao looked at Arria and said, “Is it enough?”
Arria nodded his head. “It is enough.” The Door of Everlasting Life under him was giving off a blood red glow and the red glow grew darker and darker under Arria’s control. It seemed like it was gradually turning black.
In the middle of the door, there was a gust of black smoke and it seemed like the Door of Everlasting Life had been connected to an abnormal dimension that gave out a chilling aura.
Arria shouted, “The Door of Everlasting Life was been opened. In the next hour, there must be life sacrifices for the process to be complete or all the work will be wasted.”
Arria looked at Zhao Yao and it there was a cold gleam in his eyes. “Sacrifice 10 lives with intelligence or 10000 farm animals or 100000 birds or one billion insects... Kill them and throw them into the Door of Everlasting Life. This is the price for opening the Door of Everlasting Life.
All the life has a price with the Door of Everlasting Life. Opening it, closing it, and reviving will all require different prices.”
Looking at Zhao Yao, Arria thought. Using other people’s lives to save one of your own, as long as the Door of Everlasting Life is opened, it will be a path of endless slaughter. He is destined to be the world’s enemy. What will he do now?”
In the Arria’s shock, Zhao Yao walked in front of the Door of Everlasting Life, took a step forward and chopped off his own head.
He watched Zhao Yao’s body and head fall into the Door of Everlasting Life. Arria’s mouth opened in disbelief and he could only shout. There was only one reaction in his brain.
