Individuals who had made significant contributions during the London Game all bore a "Void Mark" upon their chests.
The criteria were quite objective. Different grades corresponded to different evaluation methods... and the requirements were exceptionally stringent. Fewer than a hundred individuals had been marked in total.
Those without marks would likewise receive rewards based on their specific contributions.
Even a mere participation prize was an immensely generous reward for ordinary aberrations, a blessing they might never receive in their entire lives.
Han Dong stared at the Void Vortex projected in the sky and thought:
We're actually going to a special planet to receive the rewards. There must be some special significance to it.
Once the awards are handed out and everything else is dealt with, I'll upgrade the Faceless Head... Maybe this trip will bring some unexpected gains, giving me more—and perhaps even better—options for my Skull Upgrade.
At present, the upgrade options in Han Dong's possession were the "Expanded Prison" and the "Soul Laboratory" created with the Yellow Robe's tendrils.
Though the latter was highly tempting, Han Dong still hoped for more options.
After all, the "White Fat Jade Tendril of Carcosa" bestowed by the Yellow Robe could also be used to forge equipment... Equipment made from it would possess rare soul-related effects.
Time was up!

The moment they were sucked into the vortex, it felt as though they had entered a high-dimensional Spatial Tunnel. During the transfer, they could even take in cosmic forms from different eras and of different varieties, as if riding a remarkably stable train
