Chapter 678: News
Sam's ecstasy was lost because he felt a message from the fourth floor of the divine dimension's tower.
He sent Veer off with the deal and entered the divine dimension.
In the fourth floor, Ling Tian's holographic image was standing in the same position as before.
"Hello, Sam.
I am here to inform you about the next Palace of Inheritance. Due to the special circumstances, the next Palace of inheritance will be held in the realm of Undead."
He paused as if waiting to see Sam's response. But Sam didn't show any expression on his face. But Ling Tian could faintly see his fists and jaw clenching.
Sam was really shocked and frustrated regarding this. The current situation is obviously not advantageous for him. He pissed off three races of the undead realm and they would be waiting to deal with him.
He doesn't believe that this is a coincidence.
Ling Tian just showed a kind smile and continued after seeing his reaction.
"I know what you are thinking and it is indeed not a coincidence. It was plotted by Indra and the next Palace of inheritance belongs to God of Archery Hou Yi. He agreed to this after taking some benefits from Indra.
This is purely done to deal with you after they found out about your current situation and war with the scions of the undead realm.
Since there is enough support for the vote to pass, there is not much we can do, so we got you some extra benefits. The first one is the time and location of the Palace of inheritance.
This time, the location that everyone gets in their dimensional crosser is the same and all you have to do is come to that location on the day of the Palace of inheritance to participate. You don't have to go through all the trials and tribulations like before.
As for the second one, apart from the prize they give for winning, you can demand whatever prize you want from them.
We are confident that you would win, so we arranged for the second condition especially for you.
So, it is all in your hands on what kind of prize you would demand, as long as it wouldn't challenge the heavenly laws of the realms it wouldn't be a problem.
The third one is every candidate can bring three more companions with them. So, your friends also allowed into this competition. If they can get it right and try their best they could get the prize too.
Apart from this, there is one more thing you have to know.
The second Mini-game will be starting right after the Palace of inheritance.
As soon as the Palace of inheritance session was finished, you already have one thousand two hundred points for now.
You might not be able to use them now, but they will come in handy in the future. That is why they wanted to target your point gain and this is also suggested by Indra.
The game this time is killing the creatures in the Undead Realm. No matter what creature it is, it might be a beast in that world, it might be a vampire, the wight, the ghoul, a specter, a naturally formed undead corpse, an undead servant, as long as it is the creature of that world, you would be able to get points.
There is even a point allotment system.
It is based on your cultivation levels.
You wouldn't get any points from killing Nascent stage creatures or lower.
The points will only be allotted for the Pre-transcendent stage creatures and above.
Even then, the points will be based on your then cultivation level.
If you are a Pre-transcendent stage Level-3 by then, a Level-1 Pre-transcendent stage creature will only give you 1 point, the Level-2 creature will be given 5 points, a Level-3 creature ten points, a level 4 creature 15 points, Level-5 creature 20, Level-6 creature 25 and so on until Level-9 creature with 40 points."
Ling Tian paused a bit and said.
"Actually, this game is not a compulsory one like the previous one. You can just leave the realm right after the Palace of Inheritance. But the game will go on for three months straight and the number of creatures you kill in this time, the more your points will get.
I know you must feel a bit down, the gods bullying a youngster like you. It really is a bit…"
Before he could finish, Sam asked something.
"What if I kill a transcendent stage creature?"
Sam asked the question half-rhetorically, but to his surprise, Ling Tian actually replied.
"You can multiply the current table with a fifty."
Sam was surprised now, the last time Ling Tian's image came it acted like a recording, even now it is mostly like that.
"You can talk to me?"
"Of course, I am doing that."
Sam is too tired to ask much and just listened to what he has to say.
After listening to it all he came out and felt a headache.
He would be lying if he is not a little afraid. Old Beast particularly warned him about going to that realm at this moment. He told Sam to only go thereafter he reached Middle-stage or even the Late stage.
But now he has to go there in a year and he would be at most Level-3 or Level-4 barely entering Middle-stage. Normally, he might be able to survive but with the enmity he has with them and the escaped Wight commander, he could almost forget about having a moment of peace.
Even though the situation is like this, not a single cell in Sam's body is letting him have thought of escaping this.
All he has to do is just let this Palace of inheritance go and stay put back in his home planet or even participate in this and forget about that game after that. He would lose nothing.
And no one would dare say a single thing about him. After all, the ones who are trying so hard to screw with him are the gods that can destroy realms with a snap and create chaos with a yawn.
But his ego complex which is stupidly huge is not letting him think straight. It doesn't even have anything to do with the changes he has been experiencing recently.
Even Old Sam doesn't like his decisions being influenced by others. They might be gods, but he is Sam.
He cooled his mind off and came back with his same confident posture.
Like hell, these gods can go fuck themselves.
He is Sam.
He went back to meet Veer and started making preparations.
There is still a year left for the Palace of inheritance.
A year was enough for him to kill Consummate realm cultivators when they came to his home and half a year was enough for him to destroy a faction that has centuries of history and that is years ago.
Now things changed, he has an organization behind him. Full of people working in different fields.
He would show the gods what happens after pissing him off. He cannot do anything to them now, but that is not the same in the future. The Palace of inheritance is something they send here to provide resources and trump cards to their players.
They can hinder his growth, so he can hinder their plans.
He decided to leave the dwarven realm for now. He has things to prepare.
After making the required preparations in the Banished realm, he finally left along with his friends. But this time, there are four dwarven members with him.
They are youngsters who are about to awaken.
He would be starting an exchange with the dwarven tribe. He would make them integrate with humans and exchange knowledge. The dwarves might be many things like naïve, foolish and sometimes idiotic.
But they are excellent artisans, he would teach them his own knowledge to improve their own techniques in exchange for their own knowledge.
After returning to his city, he didn't even rest for a single day. He met with the dark element research department in his school along with a special department that research armors and started a new research project.
He is taking his friends with him to the Undead Realm. So, he has to make preparations. He has to train them to endure the death energy that would be running rampant in that realm.
He first started the research project and now he went to do his own things.
After a long time, he started researching genetics. Even though he has thought of doing this a long time ago, the engineering projects are more fun after all and he was stuck in them.
But now it is actually time for him to focus and this time, he is dabbling in plant genetics and also meeting an old friend he didn't meet since he tore the beast faction a new one.
Sam once again locked himself within the divine dimension as he performed non-stop experiments.
He forgot day and night.
He fully involved himself in genetics and started seeing some interesting flowers and vines and got even more interesting results after a few months inside the dimension.
