Chapter 912 - 535: Zong Shen: I’m Just Here to Take a Bath!

The Golden Banner notification was even more over the top.

And this thing was displayed synchronously across the entire domain.

Unlike the Silver Banner, which only appeared in the local Lords’ field of view.

Zong Shen had also experienced a Golden Banner before.

That was during the Burrow Challenge, after he killed Netherworld Snake Apophis.

[Lord Zong Shen1999514 has dealt the highest Universal Damage to the Flame Demon Boss. This region spent a total of 2 hours 46 minutes to kill the Regional Boss, completing the Universal First Kill]

[All Lords in the region where Lord Zong Shen1999514 is located will Acquired One Flame Demon Small Treasure Chest. The challenge temperature in this region is reduced by 10℃. Each person is rewarded with 500 Challenge Points]

[Lord Zong Shen1999514 will Acquired a Special Universal First Kill reward]

The Golden Banner blazed brilliantly, lasting a full five minutes before it dispersed.

The appearance of these few banners once again made Zong Shen’s Name echo across the whole Continent.

Billions of Lords in the entire domain were silently reciting his Name.

Among them was Jan Haisiz, far away in the Sarand Sultanate.

As well as Chen Rui of the Kujite Empire and Zong Ze of the Rodok Kingdom.

At this very moment, no matter what motives or identities they had,

all of them were filled with deep awe toward Zong Shen.

Yet Zong Shen himself had already shifted his attention to his personal reward prompts.

[Successfully completed the Universal Flame Demon Boss First Kill]

[Acquired Unique Title: Flame Domain Conqueror]

[Beginning reward settlement for you]

[Acquired 50,000 Challenge Points]

[Acquired Reputation Value: 6500]

[Acquired Key of Destiny (Unknown) ×1]

[Acquired Overlord’s Badge (Golden) ×1]

[Acquired High-Level Resource Treasure Chest (Purple) ×2]

[Acquired High-level Material Treasure Chest (Purple) ×2]

[Acquired Heroic Badge (Orange) ×2]

[Acquired Tier Six City Lord’s Mansion Upgrade Certificate ×1]

[Acquired High-level Alchemy Workshop Construction Map (Orange) ×1]

[Acquired Flower of Tiamat (Orange) ×1]

This haul of rewards could definitely be called generous.

It was just still a bit inferior compared to what he got for killing Netherworld Snake Apophis back then.

But Zong Shen was already very satisfied.

This batch of rewards came entirely from a bold guess he’d made.

He hadn’t expected Universal First Kill to really have a Special reward.

From his analysis, securing this Universal First Kill required quite a few conditions.

The key point wasn’t the "First Kill" itself, but the time limit.

For example, that Flame Demon just now hadn’t even been around for three hours from spawn to death.

That amount of Time could be considered extremely short.

If Zong Shen hadn’t intervened, the First Kill of the first Flame Demon would have taken at least seven or eight hours.

By then, there might not have been such lavish rewards.

After all, the Gold contained in those two scenarios was completely different.

At this moment, the other Lords in the region were all in a state of extreme shock.

Zong Shen had once again performed a miracle.

And earned the honor of a Golden Banner announcement.

Others couldn’t see the detailed Special rewards Zong Shen Acquired.

But they all knew without being told that it had to be top-tier.

Otherwise there wouldn’t have been a banner proclaiming it to the whole domain.

Besides, completing the Universal Flame Demon First Kill was also a huge boon for the region itself.

The regional temperature would be lowered by 10℃.

In other words, the daily temperature would drop from 45℃ to 35℃.

This change was quite obvious.

35℃ happened to match the standard summer temperature in ordinary regions on Earth.

For the Lords, it was definitely much more comfortable than 45℃.

"Lord Zong Shen..."

"I want to join the Guides Corps!"

Just as Zong Shen came back to his senses, frenzied shouts erupted around him.

"Long live Lord Zong Shen!"

...

Mixed in were bursts of cheering.

Zong Shen frowned slightly.

He blew a sharp, piercing whistle.

A shadow appeared in the sky, and a gust of wind swept across the ground.

Eagle dove down from the heavens, hovering two to three meters above Zong Shen’s head.

He gave a light jump and grabbed the dragon-claw-like forelimb of Eagle.

His arms hauled his body up like an ape as he grabbed onto the Scales and climbed to the back of Eagle’s neck.

"Screee!!"

Once he was seated, Eagle arched its neck and let out a shrill cry.

Then it flapped its wings and flew outward, stopping one kilometer away from the Flame Demon Boss.

Before he moved, he had already ordered his Warriors and Legion members to pull back to that area.

Thus they avoided the final Chaos.

After two Golden Banner incidents, Zong Shen’s Reputation within the region had once again climbed to its peak.

Not only were the local Lords excited, even the World Channel was flooded with his Name for a while. The atmosphere was Fevered and restless.

Every time a Golden Banner appeared, it made the Lords inexplicably excited.

Because everything represented by a Golden Banner was an extraordinary, world-upending event.

"Jiang Yi, take everyone and maintain order."

"Form a temporary encirclement."

"I’m going to hold an Equipment Trade convention here."

Zong Shen had Eagle lower its flight, passing above Jiang Yi’s head.

Riding on Eagle, he shouted down an order.

The Guides Corps had brought more than a hundred people.

Adding in their respective Warriors, the total number exceeded three thousand.

That was more than enough to maintain an encirclement.

Hearing Zong Shen’s words, Jiang Yi didn’t have time to think. He hurriedly issued commands.

The Legion members each led their own Warriors to form an irregular ring.

Eagle landed inside the ring, and Zong Shen nimbly flipped down.

He took out the [Thousand Kilometer-level Transmission Array (Orange)] and handed it to Luna.

"Luna, you take everyone and move out first."

"Activate the Teleportation Gate only after you’re far from here."

"I’ll stay and sell off that batch of stock Equipment accumulated in the Territory."
