MMORPG : Rebirth Of The Strongest Vampire God Chapter 1044 Big Changes

Rudra pondered deeply over the reward selections, with numerous tempting choices available to pick from.

As Max kept regenerating, the entire group had to pause and relax for a full day while private talks started regarding which rewards each person would select.

Various celestials fixated on distinct rewards, which surprised Rudra since he found no appeal in items like a legendary sword or magic tomes, yet the sword saint appeared eager to go to great lengths for that blade, and Jasmine seemed utterly captivated by the spell book.

The group worried about the decisions Rudra and Max would make, as the siblings got first pick and access to every option, plus secret extra rewards for the pair.

If Rudra lacked knowledge about the tower and how it operated, he might have viewed this reward lineup differently, but with his partial understanding of the realms outside, he precisely identified the prize others would probably overlook.

The perfect warrior, irritating though he was, had once shared details with Odin about the tower's mechanics back when Odin remained a celestial and sought to defeat him.

Thanks to this intel and Odin's guidance, Rudra selected a normal human for his second soulmancer, aware of a tower secret banned in this cosmos.

The perfect warrior informed Odin that the tower of ascension stood as an all-knowing edifice predating time's dawn, a creation unbound by spatial limits.

Upon a fresh universe's emergence, the tower assigned one floor guardian to it, requiring a native-born individual to vanquish that guardian for the universe to connect with the tower.

This grew into a tougher challenge for advancing universes, since defeating a universe's floor guardian let the tower gather his experiences, recollections, and wisdom to enhance and form the subsequent floor master.

Thus, although the perfect warrior this universe's fighters battled was formidable, the version the following universe would confront proved even deadlier, with the odds of overcoming him dramatically heightened.

Why the tower set such a harsh integration condition remained a mystery, but all knew that when a new universe joined, current gods grew cautious, as incoming deities always surpassed the previous ones in prowess.

Per this universe's perfect warrior, the tower boasted 101 levels, floor 101 serving as the wish realm, allowing anyone arriving there to demand any desire imaginable!

A regret-free existence?

Boundless might?

Control over the tower?

Torment for a foe?

No matter the longing one sought to realize, ascending to floor 101 made it possible, the ultimate goal for those summoned by the tower to enter.

The tower's power hierarchy mirrored this universe's tier system closely, each set of ten floors equating to one tier's power level.

Though ascending demanded more than raw force, reaching tier 9 celestial status, or floor 90, posed similar challenges, granting climbers celestial-level strength upon success.

With Rudra and the other 13 celestials already at tier 9, they could enter the tower straight at floor 90, leaving just 11 floors to conquer for any wish granted.

Theoretically, it appeared straightforward, as 90% of the required path lay already traversed, but the trials for the final ten floors proved utterly mad, guarded by floor masters rivaling or exceeding the perfect warrior's might.

"Fascinating… These listed options truly offer astonishing prizes, yet most idiots here won't grasp their real value," Rudra mused inwardly, contemplating if he could trick someone into trading their reward for junk.

( A day later )

Max anticipated a festive and triumphant vibe upon reviving, but instead sensed a heavy and grave mood.

Though the others grinned and offered congratulations, they appeared lost in profound reflection and cautious around Max.

Not until Rudra clarified the situation to Max—about the universe linking to the tower and beyond—did Max comprehend the tension, as he examined the contribution and reward list, growing gravely focused when choosing his reward.

"So, to clarify, in roughly one day's time, our controlled universe as we recognize it will vanish?" Max asked Rudra, who massaged his brow in annoyance.

"Not quite. The universe persists, but its history as we know it gets completely rewritten.

Thus, places like Dombivli city or planet Radiance endure, complete with their original inhabitants, yet they forget Sigma or the chaos war, ignore a universe ruled by the queen with dark and light factions, and instead accept they've always belonged to the tower, while we remain in the universe's tale, our backstories utterly altered from our true experiences." Rudra explained to Max, who felt sickened by the notion.

"Well, brother, though I don't fully grasp all this yet, we'll discuss it soon, but right now I know my reward pick, and you can't change my mind.

Even if this universe ends as we know it, I must carry certain people to the new realm exactly as they are, memories preserved—" Max declared heatedly, as Rudra agreed and honored his decision.

"Skip using your picks on soulmancers; they'll arrive in the new world with memories intact regardless," Rudra advised, while Max agreed and selected the ten tokens from the scroll.
