Chapter 395 152: Rewards and Star Gold

"Haha, good."

The middle-aged True God chuckled. With a wave of his hand, a series of solid gold boxes appeared.

"Now that everyone has arrived, we will begin distributing the rewards according to the tournament rankings."

"First place, Chen Yu!"

As the middle-aged True God spoke, Chen Yu took a step forward, and a solid gold box flew to him.

Everyone stared at the solid gold box, their eyes red with envy.

The reward for first place was absolutely lavish!

One hundred supreme-grade Divine Spirit Pearls, plus five thousand excellent-grade Divine Spirit Pearls. Combined with Chen Yu's talent, his ascension to True God was set in stone!

It was only a matter of time.

"Thank you, Senior!"

Chen Yu accepted the solid gold box and bowed deeply.

The middle-aged True God nodded in satisfaction before speaking again.

"Second place, Nangong Ba!"

From the crowd, Nangong Ba stepped forward and also received a solid gold box.

"Third place, Jiang Can!"

...

The award ceremony proceeded quickly, and everyone received their respective rewards.

Although they weren't as lavish as the top three, they were still a considerable amount of resources.

Enough to allow them to take another step forward in strength.

With the award ceremony over, the next event was the Divine Hall's assessment.

Nearly everyone who had survived the alliance tournament had earned the qualification for the Divine Hall's assessment.

However, none of this had anything to do with Chen Yu anymore.

He had already passed the Divine Hall's assessment in advance.

Besides him, there were three others: Nangong Ba, Jiang Can, and Dongfang Yao.

Without exception, these were the few who possessed supreme abilities.

Possessing a supreme ability allowed one to be promoted unconventionally.

Everyone present was aware of this, and no one questioned it.

As for Chen Yu, it went without saying. He had fought his way through with pure, overwhelming strength.

The fact that he could harm a True God was enough for him to look down on everyone else.

***

The middle-aged True God led the others away, leaving only Chen Yu's group in the great hall.

The female True God swept her gaze over Chen Yu and the others. "The Divine Hall assessment will take five days. During these five days, you are to remain in the Ancient City. You are not to go out. Understand?"

The group nodded.

The female True God then walked up to Chen Yu, her bright eyes fixed on him. "I never expected you to take first place this time. The Ancestor Star truly is a place where miracles happen."

"It was just luck. My friends here let me win," Chen Yu said humbly.

Nangong Ba: "..."

Jiang Can: "..."

Dongfang Yao: "..."

Hearing Chen Yu speak, the three of them winced internally.

'Let you win...'

'Let you win my ass.'

'This bastard... he's always posturing!'

The key was that he did it so perfectly, so irreproachably, that no one could refute him.

The female True God smiled. She opened her slender, jade-like hand, and a fist-sized, star-like stone appeared in her palm.

"Star Gold!!!"

Seeing the star-like stone, the pupils of the others contracted sharply.

Star Gold. This was a top-tier material.

In the entire universe, only a supernova explosion could produce even a small piece of Star Gold.

The value of a single piece of Star Gold was more than enough to buy an entire city.

A material for forging a Divine Weapon!

This point was extremely critical!

"This is the promise I made you. You won first place, so this is your reward," the female True God said to Chen Yu.

As she spoke, the fist-sized piece of Star Gold flew into Chen Yu's hand.

The moment it touched his hand, Chen Yu couldn't help but sway.

Heavy!

Extremely heavy!

With his strength, holding up a world might be a struggle, but lifting a small star would be no problem at all.

But this piece of Star Gold felt no lighter than a star.

Its weight surpassed tens of millions of tons.

If a fist-sized piece of Star Gold with this weight were thrown, the impact would probably be comparable to a meteorite several hundred kilometers wide crashing into the Ancestor Star.

With enough speed and power, it felt like it could even punch through a planet.

The veins on his arm bulged slightly as Chen Yu held the fist-sized piece of Star Gold with one hand.

Seeing this, the other three's gazes sharpened.

To hold Star Gold with a single hand... they probably couldn't manage that kind of strength.

It looked small, but they knew that the weight of Star Gold was astonishing.

'To lift it with pure physical strength... could it be that this guy's body is already comparable to a True God's?!'

"Thank you, Senior." Chen Yu bowed, holding the Star Gold in one hand.

With this piece of Star Gold in hand, it meant that Sophie could undergo another Evolution.

He hadn't forgotten that with another Evolution, Sophie would reach the quality of a True God-level weapon.

This was a fundamental leap.

The materials of ordinary weapons couldn't even scratch the body of a True God.

Only a weapon of a True God could harm a True God.

It was the most powerful type of weapon in the universe!

A god-slaying weapon!

"It's what you deserve. Without this achievement, you would not have been given this item," the female True God said lightly.

"Master, are there any more?" Nangong Ba asked, looking at the female True God with a fiery gaze.

The female True God shot him a look. "You didn't even get first place. How dare you ask me for something?"

Nangong Ba: "..."

Hearing this, he lowered his head in shame.

'You can't blame me for this...'

'Who the hell knew some monster like this would just show up out of nowhere?'

"I have some fragments here. A little for each of you."

Just then, the female True God spoke, and several Starlight Fragments appeared, flying into each of their hands.

Star Gold Fragments!

Though not as good as the complete piece of Star Gold in Chen Yu's hand, they were still of Extraordinary value.

By fusing the fragments, they also had a chance to forge a True God-level weapon!

"Thank you, Master!"

"Thank you, Senior!"

Jiang Can and Dongfang Yao were a bit surprised. Receiving Star Gold Fragments was definitely an unexpected, pleasant surprise.

"Let's go. I'll take you to rest," the female True God said with a calm expression before stepping out of the great hall.

Chen Yu and the others followed closely behind, leaving the great hall.

Soon, the group arrived at a large manor.

Each of them chose a room.

In the lobby of the manor's villa, the female True God gave them a few instructions before leaving.

She also had responsibilities regarding the Divine Hall assessment.

Watching the female True God leave, Chen Yu looked at the Star Gold in his hand, then glanced at Nangong Ba and the others. "You three, I'm a bit tired, so I'm going to rest first."

The group nodded. After watching Chen Yu go upstairs and enter his room, the three of them didn't chat much and went to their own rooms to rest.

***

Inside his villa room, Chen Yu summoned Sophie.

"How long will it take to absorb the Star Gold and complete the Evolution?"

Sophie looked at the Star Gold in Chen Yu's hand and replied, "Master, Star Gold contains special material energy. It will take a rather long time. Calculated according to time on the Stellar Battlefield, it will probably take... one year!"

"One year!?"

Hearing Sophie's words, Chen Yu frowned.

That was a bit longer than he had expected.

That was equivalent to two years on the Ancestor Star!

But considering that Sophie would become a True God-level weapon upon completing her Evolution, it was worth it.

"Absorb it."

Chen Yu held out the Star Gold. Sophie opened her mouth and swallowed the fist-sized piece. Then, with a flash of light, she transformed into a metal bracelet.

Putting on the metal bracelet, Chen Yu felt a slight increase in weight.

Thankfully, it wasn't as ridiculous as the weight of the Star Gold itself.

Otherwise, wearing it for a long time would have been a real pain.
