Chapter 638  Strongest Under The Sun

"I would also gain a lot if you were to win, however, the idea behind the tournament isn\'t just to see who is the Strongest Under the Sun. The bragging rights and the rewards are things to make a man salivate for," he said.

I doubt anything would be worth one\'s life to be honest.

"Ah, one thing, I forgot to mention, the winner will own the Sea of Demons land…"

"Isn\'t that already owned by that emperor guy?" I asked.

"No, he is just a self-proclaimed ruler. The land itself is ownerless. Once you get the title for it from the tournament you can claim it as yours."

"With my current ability, that\'s just asking people to take it away," I said.

"Not if you use that army you\'ve been building," the Red Sun grinned at me.

"…"

"Anyway, though it is not enough to \'entice\' you. The fact that you can own land in the Beyond is a special perk not many have. In fact besides us eight Suns, very few other people own \'land\' here. And if you own land you can allow your people to live in it without being branded by another sect."

That made the gears in my head spin. And the Red Sun spoke those words knowing full well what they meant.

This will allow me to host the people form the beyond without them having to go under a sun\'s banner.

That by itself is a reward worth fighting for. Which got me more interested in the tournament.

"So is it going to be a full on battle tournament?" I asked. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Why would you need to know that?" asked the Red Sun.

"To prepare, even batman needs prep-time…"

"Batman?"

"Never mind, anyway, what\'s the concept of the tournament?"

"It\'s a multi stage tournament. Due to the size of the beyond, which is incomparable to your former small world. The number of people that can participate can easily reach hundreds of millions. Sorting all of them is a logistical nightmare. This will be the weeding stage. As you can guess, there are many ways where that can be done. The main tournament after the weeding stage is over will be where the heavy hitters will appear, after that is the finals where everyone who remains will be gathered in an arena. A classic tournament format to show who is the Strongest Under the Sun."

"I see… the minimum required is the Void stage… as for the tournament date?"

"In less than a month… everyone knows it, as for how long it will last it all depends on the participants, we do wish that it ends before the Endless Night begins… But the tournament itself had lasted many times longer than usual. Even once it lasted throughout the Endless Night,"

"This gives me a good framework to work on…"

"By the way, you\'re not allowed to use your pagoda." He said.

"Really?"

"Yes, nothing above the Origin Shattering Realm is allowed and your treasure there is a grade above that."

"Origin Shattering, I guess that\'s a stage above the Origin realm… then what\'s next after that?" Old Fu was the one who answered, "That\'s the Heaven Realms… It was where my cultivation level was before…"

Old Fu didn\'t need to finish his words. I could understand.

The Red Sun took another look at old Fu and said, "You\'re that kid, the one who stood up to the Darkest Sun…"

Once the words Darkest Sun were spoken, Old Fu\'s face turned somber.

"Calm down, if I speak his name, even he wouldn\'t dare peak. Anyway, I see that you managed to come back… and with Shen Bao too, I guess you lived. Interesting, however, I\'d recommend you don\'t participate, if I had remember your face, surely the Darkest Sun will know you the moment you appear in the tournament."

"I wasn\'t keen on partaking in the tournament anyway," I said.

"Good, then I have something for you to do then. Shen Bao, do whatever you want for your \'Prep-Time\' but you must be out of the pagoda by the next month," the Red Sun flashed me a vile grin as he walked away from the room.

"Hold up, before you go," I said as I pulled my hand forward.

"What?" asked the Red Sun.

"Payment, I need materials… you want me to participate, and investor needs to invest."

"I\'ll have some of the elders send something to your room…As for the elders of the sect\'s behavior, I\'ll handle them to not bother any of you," he said and soon disappeared from sight.

I thought for a second and walked right back into the Lord of Lords pagoda. I have thirty months to prepare for the tournament once I crank up the pagoda\'s time dilation to the max.

With that I\'d be able to make a lot of trinkets that I\'ll need.

Since I can\'t use the pagoda\'s facilities or its ability to move, I\'ll need to start preparing for an all-terrain battlefield.

"Shen Bao," Old Fu said. "Are you leaving?"

"I\'ll be in the pagoda, you can come in whenever, the Automaton will keep an eye on you. Also I guess the Red Sun needs you for something."

"Right, I\'ll head back once I\'m done."

"Godspeed," I said.

"To you too," he said.

I soon got inside the pagoda and headed to the white room.

I understood many things from the Red Sun\'s words. First thing\'s first. Cultivating to the Void Stage is the least of my worries. It would really not matter if I make it to the void stage or not if I were to lose the first round which is pretty obvious.

He said it will be a mass weeding of participants. So that makes the situation pretty obvious. It will not be a fight against a random beast or anything of sorts, he mentioned that millions of participants might take the trial so doing something like that would be moot since they can easily overpower whatever is thrown at them by the sheer number of the people.

It will be an endurance test.

I don\'t know which kind, but since he said that access to the pagoda is forbidden, it means that it would be something that the pagoda can easily overcome.

The pagoda itself isn\'t an offensive treasure, it is defensive. And it can hide between spatial folds and has a gigantic space inside it. So, it will probably be a test that is easy to pass with these condition.

"A test where cover is needed… perhaps we\'ll get thrown in an active volcano or the depth of an icy field. Maybe even both… also he mentioned that it might take a lot of time… perhaps we\'ll even need to cross distance…"

With all that info I already have an idea in mind on what I need to make that will allow me to bypass all of those trials. And it isn\'t even that hard.

I began jotting down a primary idea of what I wanted to make and the finalized sketch looked pretty decent.

A four-thruster boat that can act as a submarine and has wheels on the side and jet thrusters from the back. Basically, a space ship…

"I guess I\'m getting a bit out of theme with this thing, but that\'s the only thing that can allow me to survive any biome. The boat part to travel across seas. Or even dive through them as a submarine. The jet thrusters if I need it to fly. And the wheels for a worst-case scenario where the possibility of flight is prohibited."

With the sketch done. I began working on the core and reactor part of the ship. This is basically an upgraded version of the hovering cube I made in the Dark Garden, and hopefully I won\'t need to use all of its functionalities. Especially since I\'m prepared to load it up with a shit tone of weapons.

After all the best way to get through random troubles and problems is to simply shoot them into nothingness...

I love the smell of freedom
