"What should that mean?" Greg was confused not quite understanding what Alice meant under 'dire consequences'.
Since he started his cultivation he had several times where he needed to be careful not to die, but all those times depended only on himself.
Like for example, when he needed to form the Flows, he needed to understand each of his element's potential, while also consuming energy crystals with the right affinity. If not, he would have died miserably, but at least those times were under his control.
Yet, now Alice said that he needed to endure no matter what happened, meaning once he started this final step, the control won't be entirely in his hand. He will be like a passenger on a wild roller coaster without a safety belt, who could do nothing but held firmly onto the cart and resist being blown off.
Just thinking about this made Greg wonder just what will happen after he starts.
