The Tale of the Void Emperor
chapter-347

" The winners! I know you have experienced much and suffered before reaching this step. So, of course, You deserve the reward for that. But..."

The Envoy paused and clapped his hands before fifty plates appeared in front of him.

" There are two types of rewards for the winners, and you can only choose one. In front of you are the fifty plates, and there is a storage ring on each of these plates.

Each storage ring contains 300,000 low-grade chaos stones, A 4-star protective necklace that can also enhance your physical body, Ten kilograms of Cirous Ore, and three 4-star Star Breaking pills that can aid in your training.

The Cirous Ore can't be found anywhere in this Vaiklaid continent, and its primary use is to make powerful weapons. Some of the knowledgeable ones here should know the effects of this ore. Anyway, This is one of the two rewards. "

Hearing the about rewards, Everyone's throat became dry. The 4-star things were all valuable, but the value of Cirous ore surpassed them all. After all, It was actually a 5-star grade material.

After the Envoy finished speaking, He smiled and waved his hand to gather the plates with rings on them at one side, and in their place, fifty black cards with golden patterns on them appeared.

" The second reward includes 100,000 low-grade chaos stones and this card. I won't say much and will leave the final decision to you. Just know that the value of this card is higher than the first reward in the long term, and it is also a big opportunity. Remember, It's an opportunity and not a direct reward or benefit. How you make use of this opportunity later also depends on you. "

After speaking, The Envoy looked at the winners and pointed at the rings on plates and cards, " Now choose!! Those who want the first rewards, Raise your right hand! You have only....five seconds to choose. "

" Three "

Valeria internally snorted and thought, ' The Envoy is making things difficult for everyone. He is putting pressure on them by giving them just three seconds and checking their composure and foresight. Let's see what they choose. '

" Two "

She then looked at the winners as their eyes danced about to make the decision.

Some even raised their hands already. Valeria particularly looked at Athan since he was the only one she remembers that came from her batch and saw that he didn't raise his hands, and his eyes were clear and determined.

" One. "

Athan looked at Tealery and internally nodded, ' Good. She won't raise her hand. '

He then looked at Arcued and felt speechless before he hurriedly said, " Don't raise your hand. Don't be a short-sighted fool. "

" One. "

Arcued heard Athan and looked at him with hesitating eyes before finally making his decision, ' I will trust Athan. I don't want to regret missing this so-called big opportunity later. '

" Zero. Time up. You twenty-nine who choose the first reward, Come forward. "

Among the group of fifty, Twenty-nine people moved forward. Afterward, The Envoy waved his hands and gave each of them the silver plate with the ring on it.

He then smiled at them and pointed at the other side of the crowd, " Your journey ends here. You may join the crowd now. Go. "

The twenty-nine winners started walking forward while a few of them still had hesitation on their faces.

Suddenly, One of them turned around and said with hesitation, " Ummm...can I change m-"

" NO! "

A thunderous voice rang out from Envoy as he didn't even look back, " You have lost your chance. I could give more time to ponder, but there was meaning by giving you all just three seconds. "

Some of the winners who still stayed sneered internally and felt that they made the correct decision by not giving in to the temptation.

Some sighed a relief because they almost gave in to the temptation.

The Envoy then continued speaking to the remaining twenty-nine winners, " The twenty-one of you have won a big opportunity, but whether you manage to grasp it depends on your ability. After all, You have to take the risk to win big. Now I will tell you what this black card represents. "

After he finished speaking, The Envoy raised his hand, which held a black card, " This Black card is your entry ticket into the Chaos Monolith Hills. "

" Waaaaaaaaaaaa....."

" W-what did he say? Chaos Monolith Hills? "

" No Way! I don't believe it! "

" Even the Great Bridgade Palace only did entry exam and those who passed still have to survive their training program for twenty years to get entry into the Great Bridgade Palace. I don't believe that Chaos Monolith Hills would recruit people and get them entry this easily. "

An Uproar started among the crowd, and those twenty-nine people who choose the first reward felt like dying. Their intestine turned green just thinking about how they missed such an opportunity.

But after hearing what Envoy said next, They felt somewhat better.

" This black is just an entry ticket. Whether you are able to really enter the Chaos Monolith Hills using this ticket is still yet to be decided. First of all, You all need to break through from the Tier-3 order base and enter the Orderic Catastrophe phase before you can even use this ticket. "

Pausing here, The Envoy waved his hands as the black cards flew towards the twenty-nine winners, "Now put a drop of your blood on the cards. This is a must process. "

Hearing that, Athan, Tealery, Arcued, and other twenty-six winners put a drop of their blood on the card after cutting their finger.

The Envoy was watching carefully. After seeing that everyone put a drop of their blood on their cards, he nodded before continuing in a loud voice, " Five years! You all have to reach Orderic Catastrophe by hook or crook in five years. This is the target before you can use this black card.

The weakest of you is the middle-stage Tier-2 order base. If you are talented, you can breakthrough from the Tier-3 order base and reach Ordederic Catastrophe in Five years without any external aids. If you are not talented, then you have to use any methods to get resources to reach the target. Show your worth to yourself and reach the target in five years.

Once you have reached Orderic Catastoph within five years, You have to infuse all of your order force inside the black card, and it will open a portal that will lead to the final testing grounds of Chaos Monolith Hills. At that place, It will be decided whether you will join one of the most ancient powers, Chaos Monolith Hills or not.

" If you pass and get the true entry into Chaos Monolith Hills, Then your family and the organization you were once part of will receive grand benefits that Chaos Monolith Hills can only give. "

Hearing all this, Another uproar started among the crowd, and those who didn't choose the second reward felt even better.

They felt that this so-called big opportunity didn't seem that easy to get.

" Once the five years are up from this day, You won't be able to use the black card and it will not open a portal. I wish you good luck, Warriors of Chaos. "

The envoy then told everyone to leave after wishing good luck to the twenty-nine winners.

Athan, Tealery, and Arcued wished each other good luck and said that they would contact each other if they reached the target in five years.

Athan grinned at Tealery and Arcued before saying, " You two better reach the target in five years, or the team we made by making oath will be useless. After all, I want some underlings that can work for me later. "

Hearing Athan, Arcued felt pressured while Tealery grinned and said that she would definitely be there.

Athan then walked towards the group where Drizzly, Roselin, Celesti, and Shish were waiting with excited faces.

He also saw Sen and Ayurin there, ' So, Sen didn't pass. But instead of having a disappointed and sad expression, why is she smiling at me? '
