Chapter 285: Title Upgrade
Chapter 285: Title Upgrade
He was about to answer when his expression suddenly froze.
For a brief moment, his gaze seemed to pierce through space itself.
A strange fluctuation had just appeared within his Divine Kingdom.
A moment later, the surprise in his eyes disappeared.
It was replaced by a relaxed smile.
Interesting.
Very interesting.
"Two days at the shortest."
Noah slowly raised two fingers.
"Three days at the longest."
By then, his preparations would be complete.
Sam did not ask any further questions.
"Alright."
He immediately agreed.
"Then we’ll use these next few days to mobilize troops and prepare for war."
The moment Noah joined the campaign, victory would become significantly more likely.
Naturally, the Alliance had to make sufficient preparations.
After exchanging a few more words, Sam hurried away.
He still needed to inform the other Alliance leaders and coordinate the upcoming military operation.
Soon, only Noah and Sylvia remained.
The surroundings became quiet once more.
Noah stretched lazily before standing up.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
Before the next war began, there was one place he absolutely needed to visit.
"Take me to the Alliance treasury."
Noah turned toward Sylvia.
After all, he was quite curious to see exactly what treasures a force capable of standing against multiple 7th-Order races had accumulated over the years.
The Demon Subduing Alliance’s treasury was completely open to Noah.
Under Sylvia’s guidance, he quickly made his way through the enormous treasure vault.
The treasury occupied an entire small world. Countless treasures were neatly categorized and stored in different regions. Mountains of rare materials, cultivation resources, weapons, armor, skill books, and various special treasures filled Noah’s field of vision.
Even a 6th-Order expert would likely be dazzled by the collection.
Unfortunately, very few of these items could truly interest Noah.
After spending some time browsing through the various sections, he gradually realized that while the quantity of treasures was impressive, the quality was somewhat lacking from his perspective.
Most resources that could directly increase the strength of Awakeners and Extraordinary beings had already been distributed and used long ago.
As for the highest-tier treasures...
There wasn’t even a single Epic item in sight.
Noah wasn’t surprised by this result.
After all, while Second-Level Civilizations had access to 5th and 6th-Order dungeons, that did not mean Epic items were easy to obtain.
The probability of an Epic item dropping from a 6th-Order dungeon was already extremely low.
Furthermore, how many individuals within these civilizations could reliably clear such dungeons?
Very few.
The number of 6th and 7th-Order powerhouses within the three civilizations was limited to begin with.
Any Epic item they obtained would naturally be kept within their own civilizations or used by their strongest experts.
There was no reason to place such treasures inside the Alliance treasury.
Noah soon arrived at the skill section.
Rows upon rows of skill books filled massive shelves stretching as far as the eye could see.
Unfortunately, this area disappointed him even more.
He casually flipped through several skill manuals before shaking his head.
Dungeon rewards were heavily influenced by the characteristics of a civilization.
The Awakened Worlds represented by the Azure Phoenix Civilization possessed far fewer dungeon types than Blue Star.
As a result, their skill systems were much less diverse.
More importantly, the compatibility between these skills and Noah’s path was rather low.
His skill slots were limited.
Every slot was precious.
Rather than filling them with mediocre skills, Noah would rather leave them empty and wait for something truly worthwhile.
After a brief inspection, he completely lost interest in the skill section.
Instead, he shifted his attention elsewhere.
World Shards.
World Origin.
Cultivation manuals.
Rare materials.
Special treasures.
These were far more useful to him.
For the next several hours, Noah carefully selected resources that could strengthen either himself or his planet.
Although the Alliance had granted him unrestricted access, Noah did not attempt to empty the treasury.
Not because he was being polite.
His backpack simply wasn’t infinite.
Even if he wanted to take everything, he lacked the storage space.
In the end, he only collected the items he genuinely needed.
Meanwhile, Noah didn’t hesitate when discussing compensation for the upcoming war.
His contribution would likely determine the outcome of the entire conflict.
Naturally, he had no intention of being modest.
He directly requested three Epic-grade items as his appearance fee.
If the Alliance could not provide enough Epic items, then they would compensate him with equivalent amounts of World Shards and World Origin instead.
When Sylvia heard the request, she merely smiled bitterly.
Three Epic items.
Only Noah could make such a demand so casually.
Still, considering the value Noah would bring to the battlefield, the Alliance would likely find a way to satisfy him.
After finishing his business, Noah finally bid farewell to Sylvia.
Then he left Demon Subduing City.
However, he did not leave the Demon Subduing Alliance’s territory immediately.
Instead, he found a secluded mountain range far from prying eyes.
After confirming that nobody was nearby, Noah sat down cross-legged.
The surrounding space distorted slightly.
The next moment, his consciousness returned to Blue Star.
The instant he arrived, a familiar system notification rang out inside his mind.
[You have killed a large number of high-order Demonized Monsters. The title "Enemy of Demonized Monsters" has been upgraded.]
Noah was slightly surprised.
Then realization quickly dawned on him.
"So I had to return to Blue Star for the notification to trigger."
During the battle at Royal Demon City, he had slaughtered a massive number of Demonized Monsters.
Including one 7th-Order monster.
Yet he had never received the upgrade notification.
At first, he thought the kill count had been insufficient.
Now he finally understood.
The title upgrade simply couldn’t be triggered while he was inside the Remnant World.
Without wasting time, Noah immediately opened the title interface.
A moment later, a smile appeared on his face.
The changes were better than he expected.
Most of the improvements were minor.
However, one effect stood out.
The bonus damage against Demonized Monsters had increased from fifty percent to one hundred percent.
In other words, Noah’s attacks would now deal double damage against Demonized Monsters.
This enhancement alone significantly increased his confidence regarding the upcoming war.
The Gray Demon Clan and their allies would soon learn exactly how terrifying such a bonus could be.
At the same time, the Sun Shooting Bow had also benefited greatly from the previous battle.
After devouring portions of the souls of a 7th-Order monster and countless 6th-Order monsters, the bow’s aura had become noticeably stronger.
Its power was steadily approaching a new level.
However, neither the upgraded title nor the strengthened Sun Shooting Bow was Noah’s primary focus.
Instead, he opened his status panel.
His gaze immediately locked onto a particular skill.
Savage Bloodline.
After countless battles and an enormous amount of accumulated experience, the skill had finally reached its maximum level.
For a moment, Noah’s breathing became slightly heavier.
A trace of anticipation appeared in his eyes.
The long-awaited breakthrough was finally within reach.
