Upon the ruins of the Star Luo Empire's imperial palace.
Ye Xuan heard the Goddess of Life's divine decree by his ear.
[Life God's Trial, Eighth Trial: Unify the continent and end the continent's years of warfare. Completed!]
[Reward: Life God King Affinity +50%, all soul ring lifespans +300,000 years]
"Pfft—"
Ye Xuan nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.
He lowered his head and glanced at his soul rings. Good grief, their colors had not changed in the slightest.
This reward was completely disproportionate to the difficulty of "unifying the continent"!
The rewards for the first seven trials had either been exclusive divine skills or transformations of his physique.
Yet for the eighth trial, after destroying two great empires and ending a century of war, he was only given some affinity and soul ring lifespans?
"Good grief, has the Goddess of Life been treating me like a tool?"
The corner of Ye Xuan's mouth twitched.
He was already a Rank 96 Titled Douluo, merely one step away from becoming a god. Increasing his soul ring lifespans could at most raise his base Soul Power somewhat; it could not possibly touch the bottleneck of godhood.
What frustrated him even more was that this divine trial had perfectly avoided Slaughter City. He had failed to set up the Asura God as planned, and the reward had consequently been watered down to this extent.
"Forget it. An increase in soul ring lifespan is still better than nothing."
Ye Xuan composed himself and waved his hand. Vast divine power of life swept down, restoring the battered lands of the Star Luo Empire.
Since the reward was so underwhelming, he could only rely on himself to break through. Right now, the most important thing was to find an opportunity to reach the godly level.
