Death… And Me

Chapter 1759 Ask For The Centermost One

Everyone was surprised by all of those rules. None of them thought that they would have to conquer the entire continent. It wasnʼt only about personal strength, which was usually the thing these disciples focused on the most. It was all about governing and commanding. Each one of them would receive one country to rule over in their own regions. But could they do a good job? How many of them had any experience in these kinds of things?

Immediately, the one hundred participants of the Jamai Sect looked at their own subordinates. Just like Luina, they were all recognized geniuses that received their own Void Shattering Pill. What did that mean? That meant they were pretty much the same age as Luina. Everyone was somewhere around 16 to 35 years old. It went without saying that they had very little experience with anything else other than themselves.

Naturally, their subordinates were different. Well, at least the majority of them were. Even though they were all in the Transition Realm, their experience was far more plentiful. In the powers they came from, some of them probably had leading positions. Let alone their age. Leaving monsters like Rean and Roan outside, most of them had already surpassed a hundred years of age, some even being above three hundred.

In the end, other than the moment the Jamai Sect disciples need to take the field to fight, their subordinates would most likely be a lot more important to this competition than themselves. It wasnʼt only here in the region that Jamai would be controlling. Everyone in all regions reached the same conclusion. It went without saying that they didnʼt like it either.

Andrile was one of the participants who felt the angriest. ʼDoesnʼt that mean my subordinates would appear a lot more than myself?! No, I canʼt let that happen! Iʼll be the one giving all the orders! Theyʼll only have to follow it! I wonʼt accept following advice of some pieces of shit from a forsaken continent.ʼ

Luina, on the other hand, couldnʼt be happier. Why? Because she had Rean and Roan on her side. ʼYou two! You better work a lot for my sake. Hahaha!ʼ said the girl through a Divine Sense.

Rean shrugged his shoulders in response. ʼItʼs better to say that weʼre doing it for our own sake instead. But yeah, youʼll receive some credit as it was you who selected us.ʼ

Roan nodded, although he refrained from commenting. ꜰʀᴇᴇ ᴡᴇʙ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ

Luina didnʼt care, though. ʼWhatever the reason might be, Iʼm happy as long as you do your best. Of course! Iʼll try my best as well to help with everything possible. If you need me to do anything, let me know.ʼ

Surprisingly, the old man on the sphere hasnʼt finished talking yet. ”Seems like all of you understood the mechanics of this competition. Anyways, the last rule is that no attacks will be allowed before ten years have gone by. I want to see whoʼll build the best armies for the time warring can be done. Of course, anything else other than that is okay. If you want to go and find alliances already, be my guest.”

With that, he ended his speech. ”Alright, thatʼs all for now. What you understood from everything I said and what youʼll do with the information given is up to you. If you have any further questions, ask the representative of my Rambram Sect thatʼs with you at the moment. They will be observing the development of your regions and make sure no one breaks the rules. Thatʼs all.”

Once the furry old man finished speaking, his image immediately disappeared.

Seeing that, Hilanshi got up and said a few more things himself. ”You heard our Rambram Sect Master. Now, thereʼs one thing you have to understand. There is one extra region located at the very center of the Free Continent. This one region will play a key role in your war later. However, until we say so, no one is to approach that place. You have been warned.”

Rean and Roan looked at each other after that. Perhaps that was the region they needed to get close to for the system to sense the fragment.

Hilanshi continued, ”Now, as the Sect Master mentioned, each region has been separated into one hundred countries. However, because we got rid of most of the experts that ruled it, the people, spirits, and demon beasts in the area arenʼt very happy. It will depend on you on how you intend to gain their trust. Good? Evil? I donʼt care. Thereʼs no right and wrong in this competition.”

”Next, weʼll distribute the countries to each of the Jamai Sectʼs participants. Each country has its own ups and downs. For example, a country at the center of the region would be more protected. But at the same time, theyʼre far away from the border compared to other regions. That means you probably wouldnʼt be at the forefront when attacking, which also means you canʼt appeal to your sect, as I believe a lot of you want.”

Someone immediately raised his hand, asking, ”How are we going to distribute the countries?”

Immediately, everyone looked at each other. It was obvious that they all wanted to take countries close to the other regionsʼ borders. No one wanted to be called a turtle as they knew how important it was for them to appear for their elders.

Luina, obviously, wasnʼt different.

However, it was at this moment that Roan raised his hand, asking, ”Can we attack our own sect members and take over their armies?”

Hearing that, everyone looked at Roan in surprise. They had 56 more regions to deal with. Why would he attack his allies?

However, little did they know that the Rambram Sect Master and a few other elders were watching all of them. ”Oh-ho... that was faster than I thought. Seems like someone knows what theyʼre doing.”

Back at Lisoc City, Hilanshi simply nodded. ”If itʼs not against the rules, then itʼs fine.”

Roan coldly smiled after hearing that before sending a Divine Sense message to Luina. ʼAsk for the centermost country. We have a few countries to conquer before the war with the other regions start.ʼ
