Chapter 253: Choosing the Dao Fragment!
Even the Saints had differing opinions about this reward, let alone the others watching the livestream.
Everyone was both envious and eager when they saw these two rewards, and Ye Tian's decision became something everyone was anxiously awaiting.
However, for Ye Tian, the choice was simple. While both rewards were useful to him, the difference between them was clear.
Although the Chaos Dragon Blood Fruit could enhance his physical body and significantly increase his strength, one crucial fact remained: Ye Tian's physical body was already ranked first in the entire primordial world.
Compared to the other Saints, the Chaos Dragon Blood Fruit wouldn't offer him as significant an improvement as many imagined. Given the strength of his physical body, the enhancement might only be minimal—something Ye Tian had to carefully consider.
The Dao Fragment, however, was different. Although Ye Tian wasn't entirely confident he could comprehend all the Dao laws within it, he still had the help of his system. With the system's deduction abilities, he could use it to understand the Dao Fragment and thereby master its laws, something others hadn't even considered.
After all, the others watching the livestream did not have a deduction system. Even Saints had to rely solely on their own comprehension. To them, obtaining the Dao Fragment meant that understanding it depended entirely on their talent and luck.
While these powerful beings had no shortage of talent, there would still be differences when comprehending the Dao Fragment, and luck would play a big role.
After comparing the two rewards, Ye Tian chose the Dao Fragment.
When the Dao Fragment on the screen disappeared, everyone knew that Ye Tian had made his choice.
[Sun Wukong: What is this guy thinking? Why would he choose the Dao Fragment? The Chaos Dragon Blood Fruit is so much better, it can directly boost his physical body!]
[Erlang Shen: If you could understand the thoughts of the strong, it would mean you're not far behind them. With your current strength, how could you possibly understand the real intentions of such a powerful figure?]
[Fuxi: It seems Ye Tian thinks the same as I do. The Chaos Dragon Blood Fruit is valuable, but how can it compare to the Dao Fragment?]
[Nuwa: You're not him, so how could you possibly think the same? Perhaps the Chaos Dragon Blood Fruit isn't that useful to him?]
[Fuxi: The Chaos Dragon Blood Fruit is no ordinary treasure. How could it not be useful to him!]
[Nuwa: Have you forgotten that Ye Tian was ranked first on the previous Body List? Even Ancestor Hongjun's physical body was slightly inferior to his. Choosing the Chaos Dragon Blood Fruit would only offer him a limited increase in power.]
[Tongtian Jiaozhu: That's right. Even the Chaos Dragon Blood Fruit, with its ability to enhance one's physical body, has its limits. Ye Tian's physical body is already extremely strong. Choosing it would be akin to diminishing his own potential!]
[Yuanshi Tianzun: But who can guarantee that after choosing the Dao Fragment, Ye Tian will be able to comprehend its Dao laws? There's no certainty in that. If he fails, the Chaos Dragon Blood Fruit would have been the better choice!]
[Laozi: He must have some level of confidence in himself to make this choice. Although we still don't know exactly what kind of powerhouse he is, based on the rewards he's chosen, he clearly possesses great confidence!]
But in truth, Ye Tian's confidence stemmed from his deduction system, which allowed him to comprehend the Dao laws within the Dao Fragment. It wasn't as Laozi had assumed—it wasn't about confidence.
If Ye Tian didn't have the system's assistance, he might have chosen the Chaos Dragon Blood Fruit instead of gambling on whether or not he could successfully comprehend the Dao.
After the second-place reward was announced, everyone eagerly awaited the next reveal.
[Sun Wukong: The third-place reward shouldn't be too bad. Ye Tian has already gotten two, and each reward has been so tempting. I'm dying of envy just thinking about him getting the top three rewards!]
[Bull Demon King: He's a true powerhouse. His terrifying strength, combined with all these Chaos Treasures he possesses, is the reason why he can earn so many rewards!]
[Tongtian Jiaozhu: Ye Tian has truly profited from these two rankings. He claimed the top spots on both lists, and many of the weapons ranked on the weapon list belong to him. Not only the top three, but further down the list as well. Even if the rankings aren't the best, the rewards might still be perfect for him!]
The weapon list clearly wasn't made for weaker beings, as those without significant power wouldn't even possess weapons ranked on the list.
Only the truly powerful, who possessed a vast number of treasures, could rank highly on the weapon list and occupy multiple positions.
Someone like Ye Tian, who took up numerous spots, wasn't particularly liked for it, but no one dared to complain. Only the strong—Saints—could own enough treasures to claim several positions on the list.
[Nuwa: I doubt there will be any great rewards left for him in third place!]
[Guanyin Bodhisattva: Why do you say that? This is the third-place reward; it can't be that bad!]
[Nuwa: The first-place reward was already excellent, and the second-place reward was slightly weaker. But the top two rewards covered all areas, and Ye Tian has already made his choice. The remaining rewards won't be repetitive! Plus, Ye Tian already has plenty of weapons, and his physical body is strong. With the Dao Fragment in hand, he lacks nothing. The number of rewards that could enhance his strength is dwindling!]
Nuwa's thoughts were simple. Since Ye Tian was strong in every area, and the subsequent rewards wouldn't duplicate the earlier ones, the potential for him to gain a significant strength boost had diminished.
Even if divine abilities or secret techniques were part of the rewards, they wouldn't increase Ye Tian's power drastically. For someone at his level, near the Saint of the Heavenly Dao, the focus was on getting closer to the Dao and understanding its laws. Divine abilities or slightly weaker weapons couldn't break through that barrier.
[Shennong: She means that Ye Tian's strength has already approached its peak in all aspects. Even if he gets more rewards, the increase in his strength won't be as significant compared to those who are weaker than him. His strength is so immense that the potential for further improvement is limited!]
