598: Chapter 598 Winning Over Various Forces

Yue Wen stood on the first-place step, looking at her name on the stele, and a wave of gratitude welled up in her heart.

Although her arrangement with Chen Yi was a transaction, Chen Yi could have easily found any excuse to make her fight Kalsis; there was no need to make things so complicated!

He had cleared away all obstacles for her, allowing her to securely take first place!

Gratitude was there, but it was naturally impossible for her to give everything for him!

She still had her own path to walk, and her own dreams to pursue!

Next, it was time to achieve a Breakthrough to God Emperor!

Kalsis stood at the edge of the crowd, holding the reward of one thousand energy purple crystals for fifth place, looking dejected.

One thousand energy purple crystals was definitely not a small amount.

An ordinary world malice wouldn't be able to earn that much in several lifetimes!

But compared to the God Emperors Blessing, it was merely a drop in the bucket!

He could have made it into the top three, could have received the God Emperors Blessing, and could have achieved a Breakthrough to God Emperor!

Now, everything was gone!

Moreover, he could feel it himself; the Fire Cloud Evil God Art seemed to be so powerful only because it was overdrawing his strength.

Every time he used it, his Foundation grew weaker.

He was even weaker now than he had been before the competition.

He wanted to cry but had no tears, and he could not even bring himself to think about taking revenge on Chen Yi.

During this period, he had been numbed by being one-shotted—

Every challenge had been a single move!

Every time, it had been the same result!

He no longer dared to stand in front of Chen Yi—

Lier stood not far away, looking at Kalsis's back, and sighed in his heart.

He had thought that, as an expert who had discovered an ancient secret technique, he would at least be able to make it into the top three and develop steadily!

But seeing Kalsis's fate, he felt that something was not quite right!

The Fire Cloud Evil God Art burns the Foundation—

Could his ancient secret technique also have some side effects?

He shuddered and decided to go back and check it carefully.

Perhaps, this was fate!

—

The award ceremony for the Moonlight Festival was held in the center of the Holy Land.

Before the massive stele, three figures stood side by side.

Yue Wen stood in the very center, holding a golden crystal in her hand, which was the token for the first position;

Zhao Zhao stood to her left, holding a red crystal, the token for the second position;

Fiya stood to her right, holding a blue crystal, the token for the third position!

Three crystals, three colors, representing the glory of the top three seats!

Only by holding these crystals could one receive the God Emperors Blessing at the final altar!

The entire venue quieted down.

Everyone's gaze was focused on those three crystals.

Some were envious, some jealous, some emotional, and some felt relieved—

Just then, a figure descended from the sky, accompanied by an extremely terrifying Aura.

City Lord Di Wushuang, the City Lord of the City of Extreme Evil, one of the three God Emperors of the Void Realm!

At this moment, the whole venue was in an uproar!

"City Lord! City Lord is here!"

"Is he here to personally witness the birth of a God Emperor?"

"Greetings, City Lord!"

The crowd bowed in unison, extending from the center of the Holy Land to every corner of the City of Extreme Evil.

City Lord Di Wushuang raised his hand, signaling for everyone to rise.

His gaze swept over Yue Wen, Zhao Zhao, and Fiya, finally landing on Chen Yi, lingering for a moment.

Then, he withdrew his gaze and nodded slightly.

"The Moonlight Festival occurs once every one hundred thousand years!"

"Those who can stand here are all elites of the Void Realm! You all deserve to be proud!"

"Yue Wen, Zhao Zhao, Fiya, congratulations to you all!"

"Once the ceremony is prepared, you may proceed to receive the God Emperors Blessing!"

The three of them bowed simultaneously.

"Thank you, City Lord!!!"

City Lord Di Wushuang did not say anything more and stepped aside.

Immediately after, many more figures descended from the sky.

The leaders of the major factions also arrived at this time.

Some rode exotic beasts, some arrived in flying vehicles, and some simply stepped on a cloud—the spectacle was even grander than the opening of the Moonlight Festival!

Besides screening the top three to receive the God Emperors Blessing, the Moonlight Festival had another crucial point—it was used for major factions to recruit experts!

Just like the Starlight Pavilion to which Fiya belonged, they had resources but no Ancient God-level experts to hold down the fort!

In the future, if any unrest occurred, it could potentially damage their very Foundations!

And those who could enter the top one hundred in the Moonlight Festival were naturally highly sought after!

Now that it was over, recruitment could naturally begin!

An old man in brocade robes walked up to Lier and cupped his hands: "Mr. Lier, I am the Grand Elder of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. I wonder if you are interested in joining our Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion? The treatment will be excellent, and resources will be plentiful."

A woman in luxurious clothing walked up to Heiyu and smiled brightly: "Young Miss Heiyu, the Brocade Workshop cordially invites you to join. Our workshop owner said that as long as you are willing to come, you can set your own terms!"

A man in white walked up to Luosha and smiled: "Brother Luosha, long time no see! I didn't expect that after ten thousand years apart, you would have become so strong. How about it? Are you interested in joining our Heavenly Sword Tower now?"

—

Kalsis stood at the edge of the crowd, watching the leaders of the major factions scrambling to recruit experts, and a complex emotion welled up in his heart.

He was originally in fifth place, ranked in the top thousand of the God Stele Forest, and his future achievements would not have been low.

Logically speaking, he should also have been an object of fierce recruitment!

But now, not a single person was walking toward him!

It was as if he were a statue forgotten by everyone!

Of course, he knew why.

The Fire Cloud Evil God Art self-destructs the Foundation.

His current strength was not even as good as it was before the competition.

His future was almost non-existent!

Moreover, the most important point was that he had a slight connection with the three women in the top three!

Zhao Zhao, his ex-girlfriend;

Fiya, his ex-fiancée;

Yue Wen, the woman he currently wanted to possess—

All three women were related to one person—Chen Yi!

And Chen Yi was the existence that had one-shotted him!

"Do you think Kalsis will be recruited by any faction?"

"Recruit him? Are you crazy? Don't you see what he looks like now? The Fire Cloud Evil God Art burned away his Foundation; what kind of future could he have?"

"Besides, he has connections with those three women in the top three. Recruiting him is just going against Chen Yi, isn't it?"

"Although Chen Yi didn't enter the top three himself, he could enter whenever he wanted. With that strength, who dares to provoke him?"

"That's true! Whoever recruits Kalsis offends Chen Yi! Offending Chen Yi, who can withstand that?"

The discussion was not loud, but Kalsis heard it clearly.

His face turned pale and then green, his lips trembling, unable to say a word.

He knew that he was completely finished.

His strength was gone, his future was gone, and even his last bit of dignity was gone!

He stood there, trembling all over, his eyes filled with despair!

Those who once fawned over him were now staying far away;

Those who once admired him were now looking at him with pity;

He had become a complete laughingstock!
