Prime Minister Zhu Yao understood King Huang Ti's thoughts. He knew the king's dilemma, so he tried to help by saying, "My King, how about we hear more from Prince Huang San?"
The king nodded. He said, "San er, you should know activating the ancient ascension trial requires a great number of resources. It is not something to be done lightly. If it is, then I don't mind having all my sons and daughters compete in it. It is not, so a great deal of consideration should be taken before I choose a candidate."
"Father, I understand," Huang San replied. "However, the preparation and resources for the initial ceremony to open the portal to the pocket world, where the trial takes place, is the same no matter the number of participants. What affects how many people can enter is the amount of energy we use to send people through the portal. This energy is produced by consuming aer stones."
