Chapter 255: Chapter255-Eternity
The strategic value of a single Sacred Spirit Elixir far exceeded that of a demigod-grade item that was completely useless to John.
The voice transmission rang out once again.
"You really are ruthless."
John smiled without caring.
"You are the one asking something of me. Naturally, I have to be a little ruthless."
"Fine. Hand over the goods!" Skittershade muttered in dissatisfaction.
John first frowned slightly, then waved his hand.
The sword case that had fallen to the ground, its light completely gone, suddenly flew up and shot out of the trial space, disappearing to parts unknown.
Immediately afterward, a pale golden light drifted over from somewhere and landed in front of John.
When the light faded, it revealed a delicately carved crystal holy bottle filled with a mysterious aura. Ancient divine runes that were difficult to recognize flowed across the body of the bottle.
John quickly put away the holy bottle, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly as he said calmly,
"A pleasure doing business."
After successfully obtaining the Sacred Spirit Elixirs, John’s expression relaxed, and he was extremely satisfied.
"Players from parallel universes really do have deep foundations. The rare treasures they carry around are countless.
"They are excellent sources of resources.
"If I encounter more players from parallel universes in the future, I can make other plans."
The corner of his mouth rose slightly, forming a meaningful smile.
Boom!
A deafening explosion suddenly erupted, and the entire trial space trembled violently, on the verge of collapse.
The trial space had already reached the brink of complete destruction.
"Not good. The plane space is about to collapse. If I don’t finish the exchange now, it will be too late."
John reacted instantly.
He immediately opened the trial space exchange panel, his gaze rapidly sweeping across the dazzling list of exchangeable items. After locking onto his target items, his fingers quickly tapped to confirm, exchanging all of his points.
[Prompt: You have obtained Skill Ascension Scroll!]
[Prompt: You have obtained Skill Ascension Scroll!]
[Prompt: You have obtained Skill Ascension Scroll!]
John completed six exchanges in succession, completely exhausting all of his trial points.
At that exact moment, another thunderous boom rang out.
The trial space completely collapsed and dissipated.
[Prompt: You have been forcibly removed from the trial space and will now return to the human world.]
Whoosh!
Light and shadow flashed.
Atop the high platform of the sacred hall, the figures of John and the legendary human powerhouses appeared at the same time.
"We are finally back."
Leon’s feet landed firmly on the sacred hall’s ground, and an extreme sense of peace surged in his heart.
It was like a wanderer who had drifted for a thousand years finally returning to his homeland.
The fact that they had been able to emerge from this trial unharmed was entirely thanks to John’s protection.
The legendary human powerhouses all revealed expressions of respect and sincerely expressed their gratitude to John.
Leon was the first to step forward and speak solemnly.
"Lord John, from this day forth, you are the undisputed leader of the human race.
"We will obey all of your commands and willingly serve at your disposal!"
John had not only saved the lives of all the native legendary powerhouses, he was also the hope of the entire human race, the core of its combat power, and the undisputed strongest human.
These veteran powerhouses did not show the slightest arrogance based on seniority. Instead, their hearts were united, and they were sincerely willing to follow John’s arrangements and commands.
Seeing everyone united in purpose, John smiled faintly.
"Only when countless hearts are united as one can we defy heaven and earth and overcome every hardship.
"So long as the human race stands together, there will be no powerful enemy we cannot resist, and no hardship we cannot cross."
As his words fell, he took out the Sacred Spirit Elixirs he had just obtained and handed them to Leon.
"Lord Leon, a single bottle of this Sacred Spirit Elixir can allow a legendary powerhouse to break through directly and ascend to the demigod realm.
"I will leave their distribution entirely to you. Let every legendary powerhouse in the race break through to demigod.
"As for the remaining elixirs, seal them within the sacred hall as supreme treasures of the hall. Preserve them for the future generations of legendary human powerhouses."
The gazes of every legendary human powerhouse present instantly focused on the Sacred Spirit Elixirs in Leon’s hands, their eyes filled with emotion.
"To think such a heaven-defying treasure exists in this world. Merely consuming it allows one to cross an entire major realm?"
They were not doubting him.
They were simply too shocked by its miraculous effect.
This meant that as long as there were enough Sacred Spirit Elixirs stored away, the human race could mass-produce demigod powerhouses.
Such a heaven-defying growth speed was terrifying and unprecedented even among the myriad races.
"Even the natural races born with superior bloodlines, and even the divine and demon races that control the authority of heaven and earth, cannot leap from legendary rank to demigod rank in a single step.
"This elixir can truly be called a divine gift!"
The legendary powerhouses witnessed this miracle with their own eyes, and the shock in their hearts did not fade for a long time.
"With the help of this divine medicine..."
Leon’s eyes erupted with brilliant light, and his tone was incomparably firm.
"The rise of the human race is already inevitable. No one can stop it. Not even the myriad races!"
He raised his eyes toward John, his expression solemn to the extreme, then bowed.
"My lord, please accept this bow from me!"
Such an exceedingly rare treasure could have been kept by John for his own use.
Whether he used it to restrain the native powerhouses, cultivate his own loyal faction, or focus entirely on strengthening human adventurers and widening the gap between adventurers and natives, he would be able to firmly control the entire structure of the human race.
Yet John had no such selfish intentions.
Without holding anything back, he openly shared this supreme treasure and handed it entirely to the native leadership for distribution.
This broad-mindedness that placed the race above all else, this dedication to the revival of humanity, and this far-reaching vision toward the struggle among the myriad races all made them sincerely admire him.
This was the vision and responsibility a leader of the human race ought to possess.
Selfless and devoted to humanity.
After speaking, Leon solemnly bent down and knelt on one knee in salute.
This bow was to honor John’s selfless heart.
It was to honor his supreme responsibility in uniting humanity and reviving the race.
As the previous Lord of Valhalla submitted, the many human powerhouses felt incomparable gratitude and admiration toward John from the depths of their hearts. One after another, they also bowed before him.
John stood with his hands clasped behind his back, looking at the scene before him. The corner of his mouth merely lifted slightly.
After all the human powerhouses left, John placed the remaining 249 Sacred Spirit Elixirs into the public treasury of the Overlord Guild and set the condition that they could only be exchanged with a massive amount of guild contribution points.
He believed that once the guild members saw such a supreme treasure, they would definitely go mad with excitement and gain even stronger motivation to work hard.
After all, the only way to obtain more guild contribution points was through continuous contribution.
"This trial space was only the beginning.
"The pace of the players in Zone 5 is still too slow. Without me, they would never have been able to obtain good results in the trial space.
"I must give these players a goal to strive toward."
After John finished all of this, he glanced at the amount of Divine Class Points and experience he currently possessed.
"My Divine Class Points and experience are now completely sufficient."
"There will be no problem raising my level by several dozen levels."
With that thought, John decisively began leveling up.
[Prompt: You have consumed 156,898 Divine Class Points. Your current level is Level 301!]
