Chapter 1911 - 1910: Ratings and the Immortal City!

"Yes, I’ve got it!"

Qin Feng nodded.

The inheritance from the Taichu Immortal King was incredibly powerful, and learning about that era’s events was also quite shocking.

His only regret now is that the time was too short; he didn’t have the chance to ask about the civilization of humans on Earth.

"So what is the inheritance? A magic treasure? An elixir?"

Wanshi asked excitedly.

Yin Shou, Fu Mo, and Black Dragon also crowded forward, saying, "What can we get then?"

They were only interested in their own rewards.

Ling also turned his gaze to Qin Feng and said, "Now, shouldn’t we receive what belongs to us? After all, we also made quite a contribution."

"Uh, well..."

Qin Feng blinked blankly and said, "You would have to ask the Servant God, or Senior Ji Mie."

There’s no way around it.

He also thought they would get some rewards, but after the Taichu Immortal King gave him the Taichu Immortal City, he disappeared completely, so he doesn’t know what their rewards are.

The Wanshi Four and Ling immediately looked at the Immortal King’s servant, White-haired Ji Mie, and hurriedly asked, "Lord Ji Mie, what are our rewards?"

"You guys?"

Ji Mie shook his head and said, "Weren’t you all following Qin Feng to achieve victory? So there are no rewards for you!"

"What?!!"

The five of them were stunned at the same time, getting anxious, "How can it be? We helped so much, how could we have no rewards??"

Qin Feng also questioned suspiciously at this moment, "During the last battle, I gave them the Tiger Talisman, logically, they should also get a rating, right? If there’s a rating, there should also be rewards, right!"

"Uh, originally it was like this."

White-haired Ji Mie began to explain, "Under normal circumstances, as long as someone first holds off a ’Level Nine Surge,’ the rest, no matter which level of the attacking surge they defend against, would get some rating points and thus some rewards."

"But, in the last battle, you disrupted the operation of the Black Stone Mountain, completely destroying the array of the Heavenly Termination Domain. So, as a result, the system collapsed, and the rightful rewards vanished along with it."

"..."

Upon hearing this, everyone was extremely frustrated.

It makes sense when you think about it.

The ratings Qin Feng received before, and every reward, were all Golden Generals condensed by the Servant God. These rewards were directly tied to the results, tied to the layout of the whole Heavenly Termination Domain.

Qin Feng messed up the Black Stone Mountain, severely disrupting the layout of the Heavenly Termination Domain, which led to the entire system falling into chaos.

Thus, the rewards were gone.

"If that’s the case, then why was he able to achieve three ’S’ ratings and also receive the Immortal King’s inheritance?"

Ling frowned at this moment, expressing discontent.

"That’s because, while the entire system of the Heavenly Termination Domain collapsed, it wasn’t completely destroyed. As long as the Purple Crystal could still be preserved, the final outcome was still intact, allowing him to receive the inheritance."

White-haired Ji Mie said.

"But, he still received three ’S’ ratings, how can you say the system collapsed?"

Ling continued.

"The city’s defense rating criteria only look at two points: whether the Purple Crystal Stone has been preserved, and how many enemies have been slain." White-haired Ji Mie explained, "During Qin Feng’s last battle, he directly converted all the forces of the entire Black Stone Mountain into half-beasts, skull monsters, and wild beasts, and completely wiped them out, naturally receiving the highest rating; there’s no doubt about that."

"..."

Ling was at a loss for words.

At this moment, Qin Feng asked with suspicion, "By the way, what’s the difference between this three ’S’ rating and an ordinary rating?"

He had been puzzled about this.

The Taichu Immortal King had given him the Taichu Immortal City, but logically, if the Taichu Immortal King’s intention was to ask for his help in seeking vengeance, he should have given him the best regardless of the rating, so why the grading in the end?

"Hehe..."

White-haired Ji Mie chuckled and said, "It’s actually thanks to you. If it weren’t for your three ’S’ ratings, I’m afraid the souls of the Twelve Heavenly Gods would have disappeared permanently when the Main City Illusion faded, just like with the Lord Immortal King, including myself."

"Why?!"

Qin Feng didn’t understand.

"Because when the Lord Immortal King was crafting the Taichu Immortal City, he also didn’t have much power left. The support of the entire Immortal City mainly relied on the Purple Crystal Stone, along with the Yin Yang Circulation of the Black Stone Mountain. It’s also for this reason that I, along with the Twelve Heavenly Gods, could rely on the power here to keep our souls preserved; otherwise, we would have been reduced to dust thousands of years ago."

"So, under normal circumstances, once the array is broken here, it would be difficult for us to survive."

"Even if you completed the defense in a normal way, the power of the Black Stone Mountain would stop its operation, and we would completely perish."

"However, your method was to completely deplete the power of the entire Black Stone Mountain, and as the power of the Black Stone Mountain rapidly circulated, the corresponding power of the Purple Crystal Stone would also circulate rapidly. The power it engendered would be enough to maintain our survival in a soul form."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng suddenly understood.

It turns out that, unwittingly, he had saved them.

"Moreover, the reason for grading based on the number of enemies slain is because all the enemies were condensed from the power of the Black Stone Mountain. Each enemy slain meant some of that power wandered invisibly and got absorbed by the Purple Crystal Stone."

"And the Purple Crystal Stone is the foundation of the entire Immortal City."

"Naturally, higher ratings signify greater contributions to the Purple Crystal Stone."

"In other words, if you completed the city’s defense mission with the lowest rating, the inheritance of your Immortal City would be much less than it is now. For instance, in the Immortal City, a considerable portion of the buildings would not be operational."

"If you obtained one ’S’ rating during the last battle, the corresponding power of the Purple Crystal Stone would be much greater, and there would be more buildings in the Immortal City, such as a few more taverns in the county seat, several more blacksmith shops, and so on."

"Now with three ’S’ ratings, this is the maximum power the Purple Crystal Stone has absorbed, and the strongest state of the Immortal City, where all the buildings inside should have their doors open."

"..."

White-haired Ji Mie said.

After hearing this, Qin Feng was instantly enlightened.

Thinking back to when he first arrived at Taichu Immortal City, although the city covered a vast area, many buildings were indeed gray and cold, closed off.

Now, with a rating of three "S," they should all be open.

"I see, I understand now."

Qin Feng nodded.

At this moment, the Wanshi Four became anxious and hurriedly said, "Young Master Qin, don’t just keep it to yourself, what about my reward now?"

"Yes! All the rating rewards are on you, what about us?"

"We also put in a lot of effort!"

"We can’t possibly get nothing!"

"..."

Before Qin Feng could turn back, White-haired Ji Mie shrugged and said, "Sorry, there’s really nothing."

Four people: "..."
