Chapter 249: The Benefits of Multiple Entries, Two Choices!
The rewards this time appeared in the same manner as last time—within the livestream room. However, there was a notable difference this time.
The first reward to appear was a golden-colored metal radiating an aura of primodial chaos. Embedded within it were mysterious and intricate Dao markings. Just as the viewers in the livestream tried to take a closer look at what it was, the "Divine Dao Metal" vanished moments after appearing, and the screen became empty once again.
While everyone was still confused, a second image appeared—a purple fruit with swirling cloud patterns and flashes of purple lightning. Both items showed up in quick succession, appearing together in the livestream. This surprised everyone, and then the descriptions of the two items were revealed.
First Place Weapon List Reward: Divine Dao Metal
A rare spiritual material in the Primordial World, capable of forging Chaos Spirit Treasures!
First Place Weapon List Reward: Nether Chaos Fruit
Can significantly increase the power of a Heavenly Path Saint. For those below the Saint realm, it can greatly boost their power. However, if the body cannot withstand it, it may cause an explosion!
This left everyone puzzled. The previous list's first-place reward was impressive, but it was only one reward. Now, seeing two rewards for first place, they began to wonder if the list had changed, allowing for more choices.
Both rewards were rare beyond measure, to the point where hardly anyone had ever seen such items before.
Lord Tongtian: "After the list changed, even the rewards increased. Two rewards in a row—this is just too much!"
Zhunti: "And this is just for first place! Remember, Ye Tian has claimed first, second, and third place. If all the rewards are like this, he's going to be overwhelmed with riches!"
Nuwa: "But if that's the case, I wonder if those of us ranked lower will still receive as many rewards. These two rewards alone are quite exceptional!"
Ancestor Minghe: "It's not over yet! Don't jump to conclusions; let's see what's going on first."
The few Saints, including Lord Tongtian, couldn't remain calm and immediately voiced their thoughts. But the scene continued without pause, as if testing whether their guesses were right or wrong.
Their impatience was understandable because these rewards were exceedingly rare. Divine Dao Metal, while valuable, wasn't something most powerhouses could fully utilize. Few had the ability to forge a powerful treasure from it, and for most, it would likely sit in their caves, waiting for an opportunity.
The Nether Chaos Fruit, on the other hand, offered a more direct benefit—it could boost one's power, even for a Heavenly Path Saint. The difference was stark. Although the Divine Dao Metal had infinite potential, capable of forging a new Chaos Spirit Treasure with enough luck—perhaps even something on par with Ye Tian's weapons—its value lay in future possibilities.
Meanwhile, the Nether Chaos Fruit would directly increase one's power, providing an immediate advantage. These two rewards were equally tempting, and everyone watching the livestream envied Ye Tian.
As everyone speculated, the livestream finally provided an explanation:
Due to the special nature of this list, where a person has entered multiple times, the rewards for multiple entries will be increased. After presenting two rewards, only one can be chosen, and the choice cannot be changed. Please choose wisely!
Once this explanation appeared, the audience felt relieved. If first place could receive two rewards, that would have been too much. By limiting it to a single choice, it became less of a luxury and more of a difficult decision.
Faced with two such tempting rewards, whoever had to choose might spend considerable time contemplating, possibly even seeking advice from others before making a final decision.
The Saints, having calmed down, felt more at peace. Otherwise, the abundance of rewards Ye Tian could have received would have left them feeling extremely envious and jealous.
Ancestor Minghe: "That's more like it. If both rewards were given, it would've been excessive. Limiting it to one makes it more reasonable, just like the previous lists."
Fuxi: "The previous list was the Body List. No matter how many avatars someone has, they can only appear once, so there was no chance for multiple entries. Only this time, on the Weapon List, does such an opportunity exist!"
Lord Tongtian: "While that may be true, choosing between these two rewards is still an incredibly difficult decision. I wonder which one Ye Tian will pick?"
Ancestor Hongjun: "Both rewards are excellent in their own right, and neither is inferior to the other. Ye Tian's decision will likely come down to his personal needs. However, the Divine Dao Metal isn't particularly desirable unless one is specifically looking to forge a Chaos Spirit Treasure. Most wouldn't choose it."
Ancestor Hongjun did not believe that Ye Tian would choose the Divine Dao Metal. The list had already made it clear that Ye Tian possessed three Chaos Spirit Treasures, capable of both offense and defense. Why would he opt for Divine Dao Metal, which would require collecting more materials and the risk of failure in forging another Chaos Spirit Treasure? If the forging process failed, the reward would be lost entirely.
