chapter-1177
1177 Wait for 157 Years.
"I like that answer, Nux Leander."
Aurelian spoke with a satisfied smile on her face, seeing her expression, Nux smiled inwardly as well. His words seemed to have worked, but then,
"However,"
Aurelian's expression changed,"The next Human Trial will be open in 157 years, if you wish to take the Human Trials, you need to come after 157 years, before that, there is nothing I can do since opening a Trial for a single being is, well, a waste of resources."
The Empress shook her head.
"Especially considering your current scenario, with you up against the Dragon Lord, if I open the Human Trial for you, especially for you, that would give out an impression that I am siding with you and in a battle where I have already decided to stay neutral, I cannot give out an impression that may prove to be harmful for my people."
"..."
Nux stayed silent.
He could already see the look in Aurelian's eyes, that wasn't the look of a woman who could be convinced, no matter what he did. Plus, her reasoning made sense, since she had already decided to stay neutral, she would never do anything that would give a wrong impression.
'This is getting complicated...'Nux muttered inwardly. Honestly, the current him was not strong enough to face a Divine Stage Cultivator, especially someone as strong as Arcturus. However, with him declaring war against the Dragon Continent, although he plans to avoid fighting till he is strong enough and plans to go for a long, dragged-out tactic, the fact that he could face a Divine Stage anytime was a life-threatening situation.
To deal with that, he needed a way out.
He needed to freely be able to use his cheat-like ability and for that, he needed to be able to use his Incubus Blood to the full extent.
How could he do it?
The only option was to strengthen his Base Blood to the maximum level.
Get a Primordial Level Human Bloodline and the only way to do that, was the Human Trials, this was why he had decided to come here, however, with Aurelian rejecting him, the chances of him succeeding were... minimal.
Nux didn't think that even visiting the other emperors would make any difference.
After all, they had no reason to help him.
"There is one way,"
While Nux was thinking all this, Aurelian, who was carefully observing his expressions spoke up.
"What?" Nux glanced at her with eyes filled with hope.
Aurelian, however, smiled playfully, "It is a little difficult, no, quite difficult though..."
"What is it?" Nux questioned directly.
Primordial Blood was important for his and his wives' survival, so it didn't matter how 'difficult' the method was, Nux needed to follow through.
"Since the Trial Towers are provided to us by the Ancestral Order, wanting to give people a chance to change their destiny, we do not have complete authority over the Towers. According to the Ancestral Order's rules, if a person brings 1.5 times the resources required to open the Tower, then we have no choice but to open the Trial Tower for them, else, we'd be going against the Order and will face dire consequences."
Hearing those words, Nux's expression changed.
"So you are saying that..."
"As long as you bring 1.5 times the resources required to open the Trial, I would have no choice but to open it for you." Aurelian smiled.
A big smile appeared on Nux's face as well, however, before he could get too happy, Aurelian continued, "Of course, as simple as it may sound, the reality is far from it.
There is a reason why major power usually opens these trial towers after an average interval of 500 years, that is because the resources required to power to open the Trial Tower are... well, massive. The amount is so huge that even the world powers would need 500 years to gather up enough resources and open the Trial.
So obviously, for a single person like you, not to mention you would need to gather 1.5 times the required amount.
You would need a thousand years before you even get close to the amount, honestly, waiting for 157 years is a much better option."
"Just tell me how much resources do I need."
"Hmmm, if we are talking about in terms of Eons... Well, it would be hard to come up with a number, Let's talk in simpler terms, shall we?
Five thousand 12 Star Artifacts.
That is what you would need to open up the Trial Towers."
The moment those words left Aurelian's mouth, Nux could feel his entire world falling apart.
"What...?"
Five thousand 12 Star Artifacts...?
Was that even possible to gather that many?
One had to know that Nux barely had Ten 12 Star Artifacts. 12 Star Artifacts were not something that could be sold in little stalls all over the world, they were extremely rare.
So rare that even a family with a Divine Stage Cultivator would treat it as a treasure. To get five thousand such artifacts...
Nux finally realized why Aurelian said that waiting for 157 years was much viable option. The number she had come up with was simply too absurd.
"You should take your leave now, Nux Leander. It was a fun encounter, however, I still have some matters to attend to.
You can try your luck with the other two emperors, however, as I mentioned before, their answer will be the same."
Aurelian spoke. Nux, who was still in a daze nodded as he then turned around.
He realized that he needed to think of something else.
...
On the other side, while Nux was busy talking with the Human Empress, his wives were visited by someone else, someone they desperately wanted to see.
"Master."
Astaria greeted.
"Something quite interesting happened while I was away huh?
You guys never fail to amuse me."
Vyriana replied with a big smile on her face.
"It was not our fault this time. They were the ones who tried to capture Skyla." Astaria tried to defend, Vyriana, however, just laughed out loud.
"And who said it matters? I just know one thing, since you have war, be prepared, for a war.
Of course, I am sure I don't need to mention this, but in case you people have even the slightest doubt in your minds, let me make this clear.
Don't ask for my help, I am only here to enjoy the show."
