The audience was excited as they waited for the reveal of Law's reward.
"A heavenly Rebirth Peach! An actual Heavenly Rebirth Peach!" (Refer to chapter 295 also holy hell finally I get to explain about this…)
I frowned… was that really that valuable for people in the Beyond to even be interested in? After all I already ate one before.
My lack of interest in the reward caught the eyes of the comntator.
"Oh, it seems like our champion isn't as interested in the fruit as everyone else is," the comntator said.
"Yeah? It has no value to , I already ate one of these before," I shrugged.
The mont my words ended everyone seed to quiet down.
"You did?" he asked.
"Yes," I replied looking around, "I ate it when I was back in the Vast Expanse. It was a reward for achieving ascension from the gate-," I said.
"Stop, don't finish your sentence!" I heard through divine sense. It was the Lord of Lords himself speaking to .
I imdiately quieted down. My words seed to have been cut short due to the interference of the Lord of Lords himself locking the ears of everyone present besides the Eight Suns.
The comntator coughed, "Ah I see. Then, let explain to the audience. As so might not know, the Heavenly Rebirth Peach is a heavenly gift that is very hard to co by. This is very hard to maintain as it took a lot of effort for the Blue Sun herself to preserve it.
It can bring back one from death if they had consud it, or heal all their wounds including a full restoration of the body if the person is wounded. There is one caveat though," he said as he looked at Law.
"It will completely neutralize one's cultivation base, turning them into a mortal for one year. The person will have to suffer the sa pain of what killed them before or what wounded them for the entire year before the pain subsides."
'I see, no wonder Master Gin said that this is a reward that is too dangerous to obtain or preserve. And since I ate it when I was hale and healthy and thankfully have yet to 'Die' it didn't activate yet.'
With the peach present in my body, I get a new lease on life. But that just ans that if I were to fall sowhere dangerous, reviving and coming back would not be that helpful. Say one who had consud this thing falls in an endless burning hell, no matter what they do, once they return with their cultivation sealed, all they'll be is dead.
And even by so chance they sohow escape that place, they'll suffer the pain of burning alive for an entire year. That's enough to bring anyone to their knees…
Well, I did suffer as much at the hands of Servant Mao. So all pain is tolerable for to an extent of course, I'm not a masochist.
"Thank you," Law said as he was too happy with the gift. After all, bringing back soone from the dead is not a gift easy to achieve. Although the Queen of the Vast Expanse did sothing similar, it wasn't to the extent of reviving the dead. She only facilitated Yuyu's already preserved and very alive soul to possess a new body after her forr one was destroyed.
"NOW COS THE FINAL REWARD!" the comntator said.
The audience was all in an expectant mode and waited patiently as the comntator shouted.
"The Eight Suns had agreed to gift an entire region to the winner of this year's reward. And now Du Shen is the proud owner of the Sea of Demons!"
"Wait what? The Sea of Demons? Isn't that a free region?" asked Eccentric Long.
"Indeed it is, but now that it has been deed as property of the Suns who would dare say otherwise, regardless, With this title in effect, Du Shen will be the owner of the Sea of Demons, and it will remain free.
No one needs to follow any of the suns if they wish to live there, and the fact that cultivators must join a force to belong to the Sea of Demons will be up to Du Shen to decide," the comntator said.
"It's a great reward, but it carries a heavy weight and responsibility," Eccentric Long comnted.
"The Sea of Demons is already under the rule of a person there calling himself the Emperor," I said. "So is he going to be removed by the sun?" I asked.
The comntator shook his head, "The deed is yours, but you'll have to chase away the squatters yourself. Although this might sound more like a hassle than a gift, you know well how precious that gift is," he said.
It is in fact nothing but problems. It is a land that soone has lived in for a long ti. And to chase them away or make them submit is nothing but a pain in the ass. But it is worth it if I were to set a foothold for the Vast Expanse to co here. Instead of them being forced to worship another Sun, they can live freely here.
"That's not all," the comntator said. "Due to the gift's nature, it isn't physical for now and the ability of a Void Stage cultivator to obtain it is a bit difficult of a challenge. The Deed itself will remain in Du Shen's na for a hundred years before it becos a free for all to grab. The Eight Suns decreed that no cultivator at the Heaven's Realm is allowed to enter the Sea of Demons.
Sadly we cannot impose any prohibitions on lower than Heaven's Realm because they might find opportunities to their growth in the Sea of Demons. That is the extent of the protection provided by the Suns since they cannot interfere in worldly matters.
The second gift, it is a Garden gifted by the Wisest Sun to Du Shen, an opportunity to do a Research Study on the Soulsteel by the Blue Sun. And a right to obtain one item from the Beyond regardless of the price or value. Please be warned, once you obtain such item protecting it will be your responsibility and yours alone.
The only promise is that the Suns themselves will not interfere with your obtainnt of said item. Would you like to na what one thing you'd want?"
The rewards were great, pretty good not gonna lie. The promised garden is a good boon to my poison collection especially if it cos from the wisest sun who has a good impression of .
The research study with the Blue Sun could also help further my understanding of that material and seeing that she is a Knowledge and science seeker such as myself we'll get along well.
As for the last thing, that's dangerous. I could easily demand the most powerful weapon for example but the mont I step outside this arena I'll lose it. And since he said item, Land is definitely not sothing I can obtain, since the only 'free' land that is habitable is the Sea of Demons and I already have that.
So what good item can I obtain? Sothing that's comparable to the Lord of Lords pagoda I guess… but even then, for what reason.
However, I already know what I want. And it was further confird by the divine sense ssage of Yang Tao. "Take the Bastion! They had given you land, I can show you how you can move it from where it is to your newly obtained land.
"I want the Bastion," I said.
"What?"
"The Bastion, in the Thunder Domain, I want it." I said.
"Ah I see," the comntator scratched his head as he received Divine Sense ssages from the Suns.
"You can't have that!" the Cryptic Sun shouted form his seat, "You already obtained land, and as the forbidden land of the beyond isn't an item but a part of the Blue Sun's territory it doesn't fall under the conditions stated!" the Cryptic Sun said.
"That's where you're wrong", I said. "I don't want the Thunder Domain, I want what's underneath it, the Bastion itself."
"Technically, it does fall under the condition of one item. The only issue is, no one can take it from where it is right now. So we cannot hand it over to you…" the Comntator said.
"I'll handle that myself," I replied. "For now there is no need for it to move from where it is."
After all, it still has a shit ton of rakshasa living inside it, and if I were to try and move it to the Sea of Demons It'll just bring the lightning and thunder to that place instead.
"I refuse!" the Cryptic Sun said.
"On what grounds," this ti it was the Flamboyant Sun. "On what ground are you refusing his trophy? You're one of the Suns, why bicker with the younger generation. Du Shen, or Shen Bao whatever your na is, by the power invested in in the council of the Suns you are allowed to obtain the Bastion. But make sure that it remains closed…" he said.
"Oh, about that, it's already too late for that," I said.
"What do you an?" the Flamboyant Sun said.
"You might want to hear this via Divine Sense," I said to him and he imdiately linked my Divine Sense to all other suns.
"The Noble Rakshasa, I have a guess that it has called out to its friends. They'll be coming to the beyond very soon," I said.
