CHAPTER 313: CHAPTER 272: GENEROUS REWARDS! THE NOBLE COUNCIL BEGINS!

"So, what are you going to call this little thing?"

Princess Rica excitedly asked Lin Ke, poking the arm strength ball in his hand, which let out a soft hum as if playing with her.

"I’ll just call it... Thunder Arm Strength Ball."

Lin Ke thought of the Thunder Staff lying in his space ring and gave the arm strength ball a name.

Thunder Arm Strength Ball!

"Great, so powerful." Princess Rica happily poked the Thunder Arm Strength Ball again.

At that moment, they were resting at the King’s Inn.

Tomorrow was the day the Noble Council would begin!

It would be a lie to say there was no tension.

After all, it was an event spanning the entire continent!

All the major powers were participating!

Even if Nathan Star-level participants were rare, there would likely still be quite a number involved in this Noble Council.

Although the Black and White Knights were in his team, Lin Ke still felt immense pressure.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door, followed by John’s inquiry: "Young master, the Deep Blue Gazette is out, and it contains detailed information on this Noble Council!"

"Come in!"

Lin Ke said quietly, and Princess Rica immediately sat up straight.

John walked in, styled with slicked-back hair and wearing a suit.

John now looked just like one of those handsome young men Lin Ke had seen in his previous life, youthful and energetic, confident and graceful.

A qualified [butler].

John was holding two stacks of paper in his hand, precisely the Deep Blue Gazette.

The Deep Blue Gazette was a newspaper published by the Deep Blue Duke, generally featuring critical and condemnatory articles.

The Deep Blue Duke himself was also known for his rigor.

Lin Ke took the newspaper and started reading.

This time, the Noble Council had selected a large plane—the Faser Plane.

Lin Ke raised an eyebrow.

A large plane?

Large planes generally have the potential to grow into a main plane like Nathan’s.

However, once discovered and exploited by Nathan, they usually lose the potential for further growth and can only become blood supply machines for Nathan.

And this large plane was one of those captured by the Insomnia Emperor during his journey to the All Heavens Star Realm, left undeveloped until now.

That was a large plane!

It had complete laws, a complete ecosystem, a complete continent and oceans...

The resources there were innumerable, many of which were seen as trash or mundane by the intelligent beings of that plane.

But in the eyes of the Nathan People, they might be invaluable raw materials!

Just like uranium, only under the appropriate civilization and technology does it have unique value.

Using this plane as a competition field might allow him to discover many interesting things.

He continued reading.

The rewards for this Noble Council were extremely generous, including the previously rumored Houston Plane among the prize list.

This time, the reward for the eleventh place was precisely the Houston Plane!

This was also a task given by his system, obtaining the Houston Plane would lead to the discovery of mysterious resources.

Given the system’s usual style, it seemed a mysterious resource was hidden within the Houston Plane.

Oil? Natural gas? Coal? Or... uranium?

The thought of mysterious resources excited Lin Ke a bit.

It seemed he had to secure the eleventh place this time!

And tenth place offered a legendary-level Star Beast.

The Star Beast, as such, was a magical beast roaming in the void of the All Heavens Star Realm, inherently possessing a strong affinity for laws!

Laws that needed to be comprehended in Nathan were naturally present for Star Beasts,

and many laws could be extracted from within them.

For many below the legendary level, this was more valuable than a plane!

For many planes, their highest level only produced up to fifteenth-level powerhouses, making such planes less useful to higher-level powerhouses.

The tenth place reward was a legendary-level Star Beast, which could be fully dissected by a [Butcher] into complete legendary laws.

Which legendary wouldn’t want to master as many laws as possible?

A god can only have one sacred essence, relying on faith to accelerate the comprehension of laws.

Legendaries, however, can encompass many laws, until they melt into one, becoming a Dominator.

This is why many do not pursue the path of divinity.

Ninth place offered two medium sub-planar deities, useful for territory management and research, with the divine domains of "Harvest" and "Proliferation."

Two deities from sub-planes were indeed a good offer.

Whether extracted for their sacred essence or used in territory management, they were quite valuable.

Eighth place, ten sacred essences.

Seventh place, ...

Sixth place, ...

...

Third place!

A larger plane! A large plane with abundant laws, currently allowing thirteen deities (capturable) and three legends (already captured), all with the power level of sub-planes.

Sub-plane legendary power levels were essentially equivalent to Nathan’s fifteenth-level powerhouses.

Lin Ke was captivated by the reward for third place.

Such a large gesture!

Such a plane was more than enough for someone to become a god or a legend, and a particularly strong one at that.

Lin Ke exhaled and then looked at the next one.

Second place, a duke-level noble territory in Nathan! Location of choice!

A duke territory?

Lin Ke understood it.

In Nathan, a duke’s territory meant more Nathan intelligent life would be under one’s control.

If these intelligent lives became professionals, they could conquer many planes in the future.

As everyone knows, Nathan’s mother Wild Boar-men are said to be more beautiful than the princesses from sub-planes.

Then, there was the first prize.

First place... entry to the Fearless Tower for one year!

Lin Ke slowly browsed, the rewards for the top twenty were abundant, and there were some things he had never heard of.

And this Fearless Tower...

"Fearless Tower?!" Princess Rica suddenly exclaimed in disbelief: "You can actually enter the Fearless Tower?"

"What is the Fearless Tower?!"

Lin Ke and John both looked over with curiosity.

Princess Rica glanced at Lin Ke and John, hesitating before saying: "This is something I heard from my father, it’s a tower built by Saint Andrew, the beacon of all of Nathan, guiding countless legends to find their way home!"

"At the same time, the Fearless Tower is also the Human Race’s last defense. The Abyss can be destroyed, Gula can be devastated, but the Fearless cannot fall!"

The Abyss can be destroyed, Gula can be devastated, the Fearless cannot fall!

Upon hearing these words, both Lin Ke and John felt a sense of resolve from them.

This was the Human Race’s last defense!

"The minimum requirement for entry into the Fearless Tower for the Human Race is Star-level, where you can receive comprehensive feedback, and with a little intelligence, you might comprehend the laws."

Princess Rica’s eyes were full of longing, and then she looked at Lin Ke: "Of course, those who’ve made great contributions to the Human Race can also enter, perhaps you’ll be able to enter the tower one day, Lin Ke!"

To comprehend laws...

Lin Ke also showed some desire in his eyes.

Such a Fearless Tower, allowing other races to enter, was truly a pity...

There was no choice, this time it seemed Star-level participants would be numerous, and Lin Ke could barely hope to train his forces under those circumstances.

As the Insomnia Emperor once said.

The most urgent task for Lin Ke now was to lead his Knight Order out.

The first prize of the Noble Council and the second future continent-spanning "Black and White Knight Order," clearly the latter was more important.
