Chapter 1115 They Want The Prize Too
(MC POV)
"Iris? What's going on?" I asked.
"Ara, ara? This is news to me as well, Master. But I surmise that those Gods had went ahead to organise some kind of competition to see who could go to that vacation World you made~"
"Is that even necessary? I made it such that everyone was able to go, just that there's a waiting list for it…"
"Ara, but some are not willing to wait, Master~ You know how beings are in this Universe and Gods are no different~"
Ah… I suppose I do…
Using Omniscience, I could see that after they experienced the vacation World, they wouldn't want to wait to experience it again, so they'll look for ways to expedite the waiting process.
With so many of them interested, they just went ahead to create some kind of battle royale competition to wager the best spots in the waiting list.
And since having cosmic beings fight amongst themselves would cause chaos in the universe and potentially make me scrap the idea of a vacation planet altogether, they came up with the idea of having Origin Wielders to fight as their champions instead.
What the heck guys…
At least they created their own planet just for this so it won't affect anyone else… Especially since this would be the second battle royale already with the first one having taken place a few weeks ago. That one proved to be quite chaotic with a few barren planets being destroyed.
Good thing they learnt their lesson from that and made their own planet to prevent that from happening again.
But now I'm curious just how this battle royale worked…
"Ara, ara? In that case, does Master want to go and check it out?" Iris suggested, reading my mind.
"To think there would come a day I would hear you say the words 'check it out'."
"Ufufufu~ I am still learning after all, Master~ So shall we go and take a look?"
"Hmm… I guess we can do that… When does it start?"
"It seems like it will begin in another week's time, Master."
"That's perfect, we can go and take a look with everyone else after the Sect Showcase Festival. Actually, my disciples could even participate in the event as a way of practice, can't they?"
"Ara, ara? With Master's blessing, they could indeed~"
With all those cosmic beings in the area, it would also help my disciples who have ascended and those who have not. That's perfect, two birds with one stone.
? I returned to the Grand Courtyard with Iris in tow, my disciples immediately converging on me as I did so.
"What happened with those two, Master?" Lian Li asked.
"Well… Turns out those two were actually looking for Origin fragments that I have already absorbed… And I also learned that the gods are holding some kind of competition between themselves which I think would be perfect for all of you to join as well."
Tsuki leaned closer to me, "What kind of competition is it, Aniue?"
"From what I know, it's some kind of battle royale between Origin Wielders, so that would be challenging enough for all of you to improve yourselves."
Elaria's eyes sparkled, "And what is the prize, Onii-sama?!"
"Ah… About that… They're wagering on preferential spots for the vacation World I made, so I don't think any of you would be interested…"
Diao Chan gasped, "Does that mean if any of us won… We can go back to the vacation World again?"
I wanted to say that if they wanted to go back to the vacation World then all they needed to do was to ask and I would bring them there… But I saw this as a chance to give them an incentive to try their best at the competition.
Thus, I nodded at her, "You know what? Sure. The winners of the battle royale will get to go back to the vacation World for a week."
The air around me suddenly changed and I could almost feel like there was some sort of pressure being exerted around my disciples.
Really? Why do you guys want the prize that much? Aren't I already here anyway? What's the difference?
…
Ah… They're just shy about asking me to pamper them but since that vacation World already has the default setting of pampering the visitors, they could just enjoy themselves without feeling guilty.
They truly are the cutest.
Manami covered the bottom part of her face with her sleeve, "Ufufu~ When does this competition start, Master?"
"In a week, so you still have time to prepare."
Kiyomi nodded, "In that case, I suppose it would help if we could first test ourselves first…"
Eh? Test yourselves? How?
I was about to ask them that question before all of them suddenly leapt onto the stage, causing a shock wave that blew the people who had been on the stage away.
"Could Master expand the stage by five times, please?" Lian Li requested.
Still confused about what they were planning to do, I nevertheless did as they requested and altered reality to change the size of the stage.
There were some exclamations of surprise from the crowd but most of them quickly recovered to see what my disciples were planning to do.
I thought they would start duelling each other but Lian Li had stepped forward to address the audience with her arms spread out like a preacher.
"We invite everyone to come test their skills against us! Anyone who manages to land a hit on any of us will receive a Divine Artefact of their choice!"
The moment those words left her lips, everyone from Beiyang and the country of Sun leapt onto the stage while the people from the country of Mei and Han were still trying to process what they heard.
Eventually, a few of them also jumped onto the stage. I guess when 'Divine Artefacts' were involved, no one complained about my disciples disrupting the showcase.f𝙧𝘦𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝘯o𝘷𝗲Ɩ.c𝐨𝙢
Wait… Even Sect Master Qing and High Maiden Tatiana had jumped in…
What even are these 'Divine Artefacts' she was talking about?
'Ufufu~ It's best that you don't know, Master~'
Now you're just making me more curious about it, Iris…
Thankfully, before I gave into temptation to find out what it was, someone let out a shout and the crowd of Practitioners charged at my disciples.
I have to admit… Watching my disciples fight against that entire crowd of people was seriously cool.
There was still one problem though…
I doubt Origin Wielders would be on the level of the mortals around here. I might need to arrange for some help…
