Chapter 1618: Chapter 801: Postwar Conference and Torch Fortune_2
Even Song Chi’s heart was pounding uncontrollably at this moment, unable to calm down.
However, Emperor Jiang apparently had no intention of addressing the matter urgently; he merely mentioned it casually and then moved on without further discussion.
According to him, the Torch Human Civilization has just stepped into the ranks of Overlord Civilizations and has just emerged from a Chaos war; it’s best to prioritize recuperation and stabilization for a period, as good things take time.
After saying this, Emperor Jiang finally turned the topic to the final matter of rewards, which was what all the captains were most concerned about.
The atmosphere in the [Human Emperor Hall] suddenly became intense.
Emperor Jiang tapped his fingers in the air, and a dazzling golden light screen spread out in the hall, densely recording the merit points of all participants.
“As usual, the merit redemption list has been updated on the Torch Network, and everyone can check it at their convenience. But before that…”
Emperor Jiang suddenly changed his tone, and with a light wave of his sleeve, four light clusters radiating terrifying waves floated in the center of the hall.
“These three items will be given as special rewards to the top three captains on the Merit List.”
Song Chi’s pupils sharply contracted, his double pupils clearly saw that those three light clusters respectively wrapped: a special jade book imprinted with the seals of all four Human Emperors, a strand of flame emitting five-colored brilliance, and… a [Golden Apple] of tenth rank.
“Hiss—”
The sound of people sucking in cold air echoed in the hall. That five-colored flame was clearly a strand of the five-colored Promotion Fire Source, even coveted by Superdimensional Captains!
Yet more unexpectedly, the first place on the Merit List was not any Human Emperor; none of the four Human Emperors were on this Civilization Merit List, nor was it a newly promoted Ninth-ranked Captain below the four Human Emperors, but rather a Galaxy Captain.
[Torch Civilization Merit List]
[First: Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong (Star River Ship)—Greedy Wolf Palace Master, Qiong Yu King·Song Chi]
[Second: Divine Bow Qiongyu (Superdimensional Mother Ship)—Shenxia Royal Family, Divine Bow King·Jiang Yi]
[Third: Zeus God King (Superdimensional Mother Ship)—Holy Hall Royal Family, Silver Sky King·Freddy Aklermon]
…
Even Song Chi was somewhat surprised; he had estimated prior that he might be able to make it into the top ten of the Merit List.
After all, he brought the [Truth Mechanical Battle Star], a ninth-rank mechanical unit, with combat power no less than that of an initially promoted Superdimensional Mother Ship. Although it only arrived at the end of the battle, it also played a critical role.
Additionally, he traversed the Bottomless Abyss Battlefront alone and rescued over ten million elite fleets, so his merits would not be too low regardless.
He truly didn’t expect to surpass several Superdimensional Captains who had always been stationed at [Human Emperor City].
Before the captains in the hall could question, Emperor Jiang proactively explained:
“Regarding the choice for the first place on the Merit List, this was a result of a detailed discussion between myself and Emperor Ying and the other three. As for the specific reasons, you can listen to…”
“During the journey to the Heaven-Fighting Ruins, he brought back the task target [Chaos Mirror Image Stone]. At the critical moment of the [Shenxia Jiuli Ship]’s promotion, he provided a key component, and thanks to this, the [Shenxia Jiuli Ship] gained two crucial retries, thus not consuming the Torch Fortune accumulated earlier.
He ventured to the Bottomless Abyss alone, rescuing over a million elite fleet units.
The originally summoned Primordial Emperor Insect was also provided by him!
In the final critical moment of the battle, he also brought a ninth-rank Mechanical Battle Star to assist timely, stabilizing the nearing collapse of the Human Emperor City’s battle situation.”
At this point, Emperor Jiang’s voice paused, then he asked rhetorically:
“Would you say this Galaxy Captain deserves to be ranked first on the Merit List?”
…
After hearing this, the captains who were originally unconvinced fell silent instantly, and no one opposed further.
Because what Emperor Jiang just mentioned, each matter is significant enough to compete for the top three places on the Merit List if it occurred to them.
Seeing no more objections, Emperor Jiang turned his gaze towards Song Chi.
“Greedy Wolf, you may freely choose one among these three items.”
Song Chi rose and bowed in gratitude, then softly inquired:
“Your Majesty Emperor Jiang, may I ask what this jade book imprinted with the four Human Emperor seals specifically entails?”
Seemingly anticipating this question, the four Emperors exchanged a smile, and then proactively displayed the contents of the jade book.
[Name: Torch Human Emperor Jade Book]
[Content: From the territories of the four Great Empires—the Shenxia Dynasty, Immortal Qin Dynasty, Chi Yu Divine Dynasty, Holy Hall Federation—each allocated twenty river systems, totaling eighty river systems. All Torch Fortune that will be accumulated in these eighty river systems hereafter is granted to the recipient.]
[Jade Book Seals: Shenxia Emperor Seal, Immortal Qin Divine Seal, Chi Yu Divine Seal, Holy Hall Light Seal]
Song Chi looked up, his eyes openly reflecting confusion.
The term Torch Fortune, he’d only heard it mentioned by the Chaos Demon Ape before; he truly had no other knowledge.
Seeing his confusion, the four Human Emperors promptly explained.
Two minutes later, upon understanding the key aspects, Song Chi quickly made a decision.
“Returning to the four Sovereigns, I choose this Human Emperor Jade Book!”
From the explanation of the four, he clearly knew that the [Human Emperor Jade Book] was specifically prepared for him.
Speaking of these eighty river systems and Torch Fortune, it all started with the [Original Fire Seed].
As a supreme [Chaos Wonder], constructing the Seed of Torch network and inheriting the Torch Warship System are merely additional effects; besides, [Torch Fortune] is also one of its exclusive effects.
All awakening Seeds of Torch, enhancing Torch warships, plundering Alien Star Domain resources, civilization species, etc., will autonomously generate a power of fortune unique to the Torch Human Civilization, which is the Torch Fortune.
