Chapter 4635: The Share

The airplane soon reached the foot of the enormous ring. Rean brought it down in an open area nearby, and before long, everyone had disembarked. They had finally arrived at the Sprouting Portal after five years and two months of traveling through the Celestial Plane.

*Pin!*

[Congratulations, Hosts!]

[The Quest "Beyond Familiar Horizons" has been completed.]

[Additional Objective 01 "Acquire a Godly Apex Crystal" has been completed.]

[Additional Objective 02 "No Deaths" has been completed.]

[Reward for completing the Main Quest: 300 Orb Points]

[Reward for completing Additional Objective 01: 220 Orb Points]

[Reward for completing Additional Objective 02: 90 Orb Points]

[Total Reward: 610 Orb Points]

The twins’ group nodded, looking quite satisfied. That was indeed a substantial number of Orb Points to receive all at once. More importantly, they could now use those points to have Sister Orb devise the next level of their cultivation technique, provided they had enough.

"As expected, the Godly Apex Crystal objective gave us a lot of extra points," Celis commented, visibly pleased.

"The No Deaths objective didn’t give us much, though," Rean remarked.

Of course, they all knew why. Roan crossed his arms and explained the obvious. "With the Great Void always available to us, getting into a situation where we could genuinely die was highly unlikely. It makes sense that the reward for that objective would be relatively small."

"Sister Orb, how many Orb Points do we have now?" Kentucky asked curiously.

[978 in total,] she answered. [I’m still not entirely sure that’s enough to devise the next level of your cultivation technique, though. Roan, once you reach Ruckus, I need you to gather information about the cultivation techniques available there. If we add more knowledge to the system, the cost of devising a new technique should decrease.]

Roan had already intended to do exactly that. "That’s fine. It worked for the Aura God Cultivation Technique, so it makes sense to follow the same approach for the Law God level."

Arcis, Tobao, Kachia, Luxa, and Lunelle understood that they were discussing something related to their system, so none of them interrupted. They were accustomed to the twins’ occasional conversations about matters that didn’t concern outsiders, even if the details remained a mystery.

Following that, everyone’s attention returned to the enormous ring. Looking through its open center, they could see the landscape on the other side without any apparent obstruction.

"It doesn’t seem to be activated, does it?" Arcis asked, unable to help himself.

Everyone agreed that it didn’t appear to be operating. Rean picked up a stone from the ground and casually tossed it through the ring. It passed through without encountering any resistance, then landed on the ground on the other side a few seconds later.

"If it’s working, it’s certainly not transporting stones," Rean concluded.

Kentucky took a look around. "There doesn’t seem to be anyone here, either."

"Well, we know Region God experts are rare, and most cultivators never manage to reach this portal in the first place," Rean commented. "Keeping someone stationed here to watch over it would be pretty meaningless. Besides, the protective array surrounding the portal keeps Godly Creatures away. There’s little reason to worry about something attacking it or damaging it."

"What if the portal needs maintenance?" Kachia asked. Even if no one was around, surely a structure this important couldn’t be left unattended forever.

Rean pointed toward the enormous ring. "They can simply activate the portal and send an Arrays Master here to inspect it every few decades. From what I can tell, the arrays should be able to operate for hundreds of years without wearing out. And if something unexpected happens, I refuse to believe they don’t have a way to send someone here when necessary."

Everyone had to admit that Rean’s explanation made sense. Given the apparent durability of the structure and the rarity of cultivators capable of reaching it, maintaining a permanent guard would be an unnecessary expense.

Roan decided to leave the portal alone for the moment. There would be plenty of time to investigate it later. "Alright, let’s put everything on the table."

With a wave of his hand, he brought out every Godly Horror, Godly Predator, and Godly Beast Crystal they had collected during their five-year journey. The crystals appeared in a massive heap before the group, and the concentration of Godly Energy in the surrounding area skyrocketed. It became so dense that they could actually see the energy emanating from the crystals, forming a faint haze over the ground.

Five years and two months. In the end, their journey had yielded an impressive amount of Godly Crystals. More importantly, they had all agreed not to use any of them for cultivation along the way. The only crystals they had consumed were those needed to supply energy during emergencies, such as when they pushed the airplane’s thrusters beyond their normal limits during the battle against the Godly Apex Moth. Everything else had been carefully preserved.

Roan surveyed the enormous collection and nodded in satisfaction. "Bringing Tobao and Arcis along was definitely the right decision. Thanks to their strength as Law Gods, we managed to kill far more Godly Horrors than I initially expected. Probably several times as many. I owe you both my thanks for that."

"Amitabha, Amitabha..." Tobao replied with a weary sigh. "Friend Roan, there’s no need to thank us. Arcis and I have gained far more than we could ever have imagined in such a short time. In fact, without your help, there’s a good chance we would never have reached this place at all."

Arcis nodded in agreement. "That said, your group should still receive the largest share. In a way, simply reaching this portal is already worth more than all the Godly Crystals we collected along the way. We don’t need any of them."

"No can do," Roan replied, shaking his head. "I hate owing favors. Everyone contributed in whatever way they could, so everyone will receive a fair share. No complaints will be accepted."
