BXBX NOVEL Chapter 251: Rewards Time
The next ranking will cover the Empires—those who have shown exceptional governance, military strength, and control over vast territories and resources.
Rewards will be given according to their ranking.
Empire Rankings
"First Place: Xuzhong Empire—Central Continent."
Once again, the Xu family held the top position, but this was no surprise, as the Xuzhong Empire was the first empire to be established.
With Huang Xinyi's vigorous development, the entire empire was in a state where, even if all other empires united, they couldn't surpass the Xuzhong Empire.
In a bustling city square, someone who had been part of the Xuzhong Empire since its founding murmured to himself, "The Xu family has truly built an empire to be reckoned with. And by the looks of it, they're just getting started."
"Second Place: Eastern Sky Zong Empire—Eastern Continent."
The Zong Empire celebrated its high ranking. Citizens, cultivators, and nobles alike gathered to mark the moment; pride and relief washed over them, and they were proud to be part of this empire.
In his chambers, Emperor Zong Wei nodded in satisfaction, realizing that the empire's advancements had not gone unnoticed.
"Third Place: Southern Phoenix Bai Empire—Southern Continent."
The Southern Phoenix Bai Empire secured third place. Cheers erupted throughout the empire as the leaders sighed in relief, having achieved their goal after expending all available resources.
"Fourth Place:…"
"Fifth Place:…"
...
"Fiftieth Place:…"
With the final rankings announced, the rewards began to manifest. Powerful energies shimmered in the skies, taking shape as glowing orbs containing each prize.
These orbs, filled with spiritual energy, descended toward the ranked families, sects, and empires, each bearing treasures worthy of their standing on the leaderboards.
Family Rankings Prizes
The Xu family, having won the ranking, received a Galaxy-grade treasure along with a few Legendary-grade items that complemented it.
The Chen and Bai families received Starlight-grade treasures and matching Epic-grade items.
These treasures included rare artifacts primarily used to enhance the family's strength—something everyone desired.
These items alone could shorten the time required to gather resources, cultivate, and more.
Xu Family
: As the top-ranked family, the Xu family received an additional set of Galaxy-grade artifacts.
Among these was Heaven's Pillar, a powerful staff that could summon heavenly soldiers within its territory, shielding them from external threats.
Chen Family
: The Chen family was granted a powerful spiritual cauldron capable of enhancing elixirs and potions.
This cauldron allowed them to produce medicinal pills of unmatched quality, ensuring their cultivation progressed faster than ever.
Bai Family
: The Bai family received a Void Compass, an ancient artifact granting its user insight into the timelines of secret realms.
This tool would allow them to discover hidden realms and uncover rare resources, increasing their influence across the Southern Continent. However, it could only be used once every ten years.
As these treasures arrived, everyone watched in awe, marveling at the sheer power these families would wield.
In small villages and bustling cities, people spoke in hushed tones about the treasures, wondering what they would do if they got any of these items.
This sparked numerous fights as many people decided to vent their emotions through fighting, which worked wonders.
As they know that any kind of envy or hate will only end with them dying, instead having a good sparring match will remove any negative thoughts they had.
Among the lesser families, disappointment and envy brewed as they saw the vast gap between themselves and the top-ranked families.
Many vowed to push themselves harder, hoping to earn a place on the leaderboard in the future.
Individual Power Rankings Prizes
The rewards for the Individual Power Rankings were geared toward personal cultivation. Each of the top ten received Galaxy-grade elixir seeds, a primary ingredient in a rare cultivation pill.
These pills were specifically crafted to be unique and tailored to the individual's needs, enhancing physical strength, mental abilities, or other key attributes.
Top Three Individuals
: Qiangqiang of the Xu family, Liu Meiying, and Bai Lingyun received additional rewards.
Each was given a small token with obscure symbols, a mysterious item that the World's Will obtained from the Supreme Will after noticing the overpowered individuals within this tiny world.
Qiangqiang also received a unique artifact called the Celestial Mantle—a cloak allowing him to teleport across great distances, granting him unmatched mobility and power.
This artifact was personally given to him by the Supreme Will as a protective measure.
Other Top Ten
: The remaining individuals in the top ten received various rare spiritual tools, such as Elemental Rings that enhanced fire, water, or earth abilities, and Insight Orbs that temporarily boosted comprehension, aiding in mastering complex cultivation techniques.
The common people discussed these prizes with admiration, awed by the strength these individuals would soon possess.
In lower-ranked sects and families, cultivators were inspired by the possibility of reaching the leaderboard themselves.
However, for families that didn't make the cut, these rewards highlighted the challenge of competing against legendary cultivators, stirring a mix of awe and frustration, especially when looking toward the powerful Central Continent.
But everyone remembered the names of the top families. They wanted to avoid these powerful entities either or align themselves for protection.
Inspired by novels from the old world, they knew that these families would become the primary players in this world.
However, there were a few nutjobs who did not believe in reality and still lived in the past, but these people will not live long with this kind of attitude.
Back to the topic, the World's Will was still not done as there were still a few more leaderboard rewards that she needed to give out before it can go back and relax.
[Haah, this is so tiring; I should really invest in some AI tech; hmmm, I should go to the Supreme Mall and see if there are any on sale.
Now I know how these humans felt like when they were squeezed dry by their bosses, but here, even though I am supposed to be the boss, I am the one being squeezed.]
