Chapter 404: Now That's More Like It!

"Huh?" Fria wasn't expecting the sudden question. "Oh, that's because they're afraid of you. The death penalty is quite steep, you know. Most Players are convinced that you've laid claim to the World Cores, and they don't benefit the more powerful Cultivators that much anyway, so they've chosen to ignore them as a whole."

Fria explained to William how when Players died, they would lose forty percent of their Potential Points and twenty-five percent of their stored Cultivation Base. For a Cultivator in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, twenty-five percent was equivalent to millions of Spirit Qi.

Not to mention how difficult it already was to earn Potential Points. Many Players would have to spend months saving up Potential Points just to upgrade a single Talent to SS or SSR-Rank. They couldn't afford to die in this stage of the game.
