Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-1897

Once the New Era Battle Arena quietened down, Honorable Elder Julian Kruse opened his mouth.

"We thank the Emperor of Death and the Soul Palace for their magnanimity and voluntary cooperation. But with this change, the rewards for the top five has underwent a slight change."

"…!"

Many people's joyful expressions changed, making them wonder if the rewards had been decreased just because someone else was providing for them.

Honorable Elder Julian Kruse couldn't help but chuckle.

"Don't worry. We didn't decrease the rewards but increased it."

"…"

After a silent pause, he continued.

"The top five will obtain Undaunted Purple Lotus Flowers from us."

"What!? That Undaunted Lotus Purple Flower that could make one step into the King Soul Stage with ease when made into a pill!? Not a petal?"

Ancestor Krane Parazen appeared utterly shocked as he stood up, causing Honorable Elder Julian Kruse to nod.

"Indeed, we decided to give these resources out only because of the Soul Palace's gracious and understanding move. Otherwise, it would have served no purpose as even geniuses take a long time to enter the King Soul Stage as they have little to no insights regarding the comprehension of heaven and earth through the aspect of the soul."

Everyone couldn't help but subconsciously nod their heads. Although the decision to give insights and manuals was great, it would only be helpful to Peak-Level Supreme Soul Stage Experts who are almost near to breakthrough. However, if resources like the Undaunted Purple Lotus Flower were involved, it would be easier for the young elites to step into the King Soul Stage sooner than later.

"As for the other main rewards," Honorable Elder Julian Kruse continued, "They consist of Law Tree Fruits whose quality is far above the Thousand Pill Palace's, allowing the Law Sea Stage Experts to step into Law Rune Stage with more efficiency, a near-specialized resource of High-Level Emperor Grade for each of them that will allow their bodies to step into the Martial Overlord Stage and thirteen Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources each with a subsequent increment of three Vein Sources every higher rank with the top first obtaining twenty-five Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources."

"Moreover, the top three will also receive a top-quality High-Level Emperor Grade construct made by the Heaven Mandate Temple, Vast Sky Emperor Palace and the Astral Light Sect and will have the opportunity to learn under us, have our protection and also buy certain resources that could be helpful to them for half the price."

"Woah!!!~~~"

The entirety of the crowd gathered stood up in waves, creating a tsunami of shocked voices. However, the arbitrator was not done.

"With this, the rewards for rising young experts that concentrate on all three of their cultivations, prosperity, and safety is ensured."

"…!"

The people remained absolutely dumbfounded.

What's going on here truly?

Excluding the ingredients, that's about ninety-five Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources being given out, which would entirely create a Mid-Sized Territory Hegemon by itself! Did the Four Great Righteous Sects become fearful under the shadow of the Calamity Light for them to become this… magnanimous?

"What the… They're actually being righteous for a change..."

Davis couldn't believe his eyes or ears either. Perhaps, there might be unknown agendas but giving out a ton of these resources is no small matter. Perhaps, with the four of them putting it all together, they could do this without fearing for the decline, but what about the Ninth Stage Segment?

What kind of rewards have they planned for that for them to be this lavish and exorbitant now?

Nevertheless, the impression of the Four Great Righteous Sects in his mind became slightly better. However, that didn't change his killing intent towards the Vast Sky Emperor a single bit. That retard hadn't even tried begging for his life, and Davis didn't feel like just letting him go and probably never would.

He was just waiting for the right time as he didn't want to cause chaos for the denizens of this world, as killing the Vast Sky Emperor would more or less mean declaring war against the righteous path.

"Hmm." Honorable Elder Julian Kruse satisfactorily nodded, "Judging by all your reactions, it seems that you are unable to believe my words, but trust me, trust us when we say that we need to gather together to overcome whatever dangers we may face in the upcoming years. Even if we do not come to face any danger, which is preferable, the others will know that we, the Four Great Righteous Sects, are still the righteous entities we proclaim we are."

He went silent after saying his piece when suddenly a cacophony of verbal appreciation began to echo, repeatedly resounding to praise the Four Great Righteous Sects for a minute straight.

Davis felt that it was like propaganda, but then again, they at least deserved for shedding this much resources to support nobodies. As cultivators, all they needed to do was look after their own skin, their own powers, and not the race as a whole, but that is what made them so popular among the common populace. The righteous path went out of their way to protect the ordinary people and equally ruled the place with iron fists so that they could maintain order sometimes, most of the time involving corruption in peaceful times.

The overflowing cheers made him feel that he was too harsh on the righteous path but only chuckled about it as the intentions were good, but what about the implementation?

What is there to say that they won't demand some type of obedience in exchange for being magnanimous?

In the end, only strength ruled. If the one or the ones at the top are righteous, they would be hypocritical to a degree, and if it's the opposite, vile like the wicked path, then they would be a bit honest yet brutal to a degree. Even Davis felt he was in the former or somewhere in the middle, only caring for himself and those whom he considered his people.

"As for when the Eighth Stage Segment would start, it would begin tomorrow morning. Until then, make sure that your Eighth Stage Young Experts are ready to participate without encountering any trouble."

Honorable Elder Julian Kruse clasped his hand along with his partner before leaving the scene.

'Uh… one of them already got cuckolded...'

Everyone couldn't help but think at the same time, some appearing stifled as though they were going to burst out laughing.

The poor future Palace Master of the Glorious Pill Palace still didn't appear outside. However, was it because that he still felt ashamed or that his own power didn't let him outside?

Perhaps, they had even thought of ousting him from his current status. After all, who dare to put a man whose honor has been stained on a pedestal unless he can prove himself even more worthy?

After the arbitrators left, everyone went about their way, enjoying banquets held in powers and mingling with other powers to create relationships as though it was another day.

"Evelynn, Natalya, Mingzhi, and Niera."

At this moment, Davis called out as he stood up along with Evelynn, holding her hand. The three others appeared attentive as they appeared beside him, waiting to listen to his words.

"Come with me. We're going to pay a visit to my old friend."

"…!"

Niera's expression froze as she saw Davis glancing at her.. Her expression then calmed as she instantly knew that she got some apologies to make.
