326: Chapter 326 The Ceremony Ends
A clear projection appeared in the void, neatly listing the rewards:
1. Resurrection (1 million points required for the Sixth Realm. 100,000 points required for the Fifth Realm and below.)
2. Rights to freely study in any Tower of Knowledge between the 100,000th and 120,000th floors for 50 million years (10 million points required, unique.)
3. Temporary registered qualification for the Virtual Tower · One Epoch (3 million points required.)
4. Customization quota for a full set of standard equipment from the Tower of Artificers (3 million points required.)
5...
As these rare treasures, seldom seen in the outside world, were displayed, the breathing of all living beings, including those in the audience, quickened.
"Registered qualification for the Virtual Tower! And for a whole Epoch. Doesn't that mean one can adventure anywhere one pleases for this entire Epoch without ever worrying about falling?"
"And the Ascension Potion from the Tower of Potions! Legend has it that it can allow an ordinary person to instantly possess power comparable to a Fourth Realm cultivator without affecting their foundation in the slightest..."
"And the custom equipment from the Tower of Artificers! With this set, even if I have just entered the Sixth Realm, I would dare to fight against someone at the peak of the Sixth Realm!"
Representatives from many factions had already begun calculating how to make their exchanges. Meanwhile, the Star Mech Divine Kingdom and the Qingluan Clan on the main stage had also made their choices.
"Special Envoy, I wish to use 3 million points to request the Tower of Artificers to refine a mech body crafted from Star God Steel."
"And use 10 million points to exchange for the rights to freely study in the Virtual Tower between the 100,000th and 120,000th floors for 50 million years..."
The representative of the Star Mech Divine Kingdom quickly completed the exchange of over 17 million points without a single error.
"Special Envoy, I wish to resurrect nine clansmen of the Sixth Realm, and a portion of clansmen below the Fifth Realm."
"In addition, our clan would like to use 3 million points to request the Tower of Cultivation to perfect our cultivation technique, the 'Nirvana Art'..."
"Very well, just submit the list of those who need to be resurrected to me."
Zhang Huaiyuan nodded; the choices of these two clans were not much different from what he had expected.
As mechanical lifeforms, the former possessed an ability similar to conscious immortality. When strong individuals within their clan fell, it was usually nothing more than changing a body; there was no need to waste points on resurrection.
But the Qingluan Clan was different. As a cultivation-oriented civilization, the number of strong individuals within the clan almost determined the rise and fall of their civilization.
Just like now, although they had achieved second place in the Ascension Battlefield, their overall strength was far lower than before the competition due to the death of a large number of clansmen.
"The two of you have completed all your point exchanges. The Association will distribute all rewards within three years. Please return to your seats."
Zhang Huaiyuan waved his hand, and four warp beams descended, teleporting the two back and teleporting the third and fourth place winners over.
As the Chief Director, only the top twenty in each tier of the battlefield were qualified to receive awards directly from him. As for the rest, they would be left to the intelligence of Shanhai City to execute in batches according to the decisions he had made.
"Next batch."
"Thank you, Special Envoy."
"..."
Soon, one faction after another was received. The smiles on the faces of the twelve directors acting as a background wall became increasingly sincere.
They discovered that in the division of regions, this newly arrived Special Envoy had basically adopted all of the suggestions they had previously provided, with the exception of a few minor adjustments.
"He is, after all, an peerless genius from headquarters; young and promising," one director sighed with a chuckle.
"I was worried before that such a youngster would be young and arrogant, relying on his background, and that it would be awkward for everyone when the time came."
"Sigh, you all are fine, but I'm a bit ashamed to explain things to them, having guaranteed earlier that there would be no problems," another director said with a bitter smile.
"Old Lei, don't mind it. I've investigated; both the Silver Splendor Empire and Demon Cloud Mountain have past ties with my junior, so it's normal for there to be a slight bias in terms of benefits. It's not directed at you," "Mo," also from the Virtual Tower, explained softly.
"I know, that's why I didn't say anything. Forget it, at worst, I'll just return those benefits to them," the director known as "Old Lei" shook his head.
"That's the right way to think. Since this genius from headquarters is willing to accept our goodwill, let's serve him well during this time. Once he is satisfied and leaves, we will have another hundred million years of carefree days."
"Exactly, this is much less stressful than serving those Vice Tower Master-level figures in the past."
The twelve of them smiled simultaneously, reaching a tacit understanding.
On the other side, Zhang Huaiyuan finally received the last group of winning factions in the Level 6 Civilization group.
"Huh... this division is a bit heavily biased. It seems the nineteenth place received much larger regions than the twentieth place, but the few regions with the most abundant resources were all given to the twentieth place." Zhang Huaiyuan only discovered the anomaly after finishing the division according to the plan.
"Hmm... I remember these were all handed over to the Statue of Liberty to handle, but since she divided them this way, she must have her reasons..."
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Huaiyuan stuck to the original decision. There was no need to question his closest partner for the sake of an outside faction.
"Thank you, Special Envoy! Thank you, Special Envoy!" Seeing the division of forces, the representative ranked twentieth first blinked in disbelief, then revealed an expression of wild joy, thanking him incoherently.
"Special Envoy, this isn't..."
"Ahem." Just as the other representative was about to argue subconsciously, a faint cough came from the area where the twelve directors were behind him.
He immediately sobered up and squeezed out a smile that looked worse than crying: "Thank you, Special Envoy."
"Exchange your point rewards." Zhang Huaiyuan looked at the two's expressions and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
These two factions were also outstanding among the Level 6 civilizations in the Sea of Time. The Xuanjian Sect, which had forced him to fight for his life back then, was probably less than an ant in front of them.
Yet, facing an unacceptable result, they could only accept it with servility. And he was merely a Junior Scholar; all of this was only because he had the backing of a behemoth like the Time Traveler Association.
But what if one day... a power stronger than the Association appeared? Zhang Huaiyuan suddenly recalled the assassination attempt from before. Even the Association had not found the mastermind behind that incident.
No one knew if the same thing would happen again. "Self-strength is the true foundation... Once the matter here is finished, I will try to go all out to break through the Truth Chess Game in the ruins and obtain those three supreme inheritances!"
"Special Envoy, I request to resurrect three clansmen of the Sixth Realm..."
"Special Envoy, I want to exchange for that bottle of Ascension Potion..."
Just as Zhang Huaiyuan was pondering, the two representatives had also chosen their rewards.
"Very well, next batch." Zhang Huaiyuan composed himself, recorded the requests, and at the same time waved his hand to send the two back.
There were still many factions waiting to go on stage below.
The novelty of being a Special Envoy had worn off, and next, he should complete the task as soon as possible so he could go back and continue his research.
