Chapter 1013: Selecting People



Vaan glanced at the flushed faces that surrounded him within a short time. He scratched his sideburns, thinking he might not be able to get used to their excessive fervor and worship.

He knew all too well just how distant the realm of a True God actually was.

Despite that, he was revered as the Battle God by the Great Ratholos Empire's Body Refiners, the Dragon God by the Red Dragon Clan, the Sun God by the Holy Knight Empire's people, and the Sea God by the marine clans and sea monsters.

After shaking his head, Vaan scanned the excited and eager Body Refiners.

"I'll be picking out a small group of loyal warriors to follow me back to the Celestial Kingdom and help me out with a dangerous experiment. If something goes wrong with the experiment, you will likely die gruesome deaths. That said, are there any volunteers?"

Shortly after Vaan asked this question, the entire group of Body Refiners eagerly voiced their willingness to participate.

Many of them had undergone extreme training, facing the dangerous power of nature to surpass their physical limits. Which one of them hasn't faced death before?

As such, they weren't afraid of the so-called risk.

More importantly, they looked forward to the potential reward. After all, everyone knew Vaan treated his people well. Now that it was their turn to be of service, how could Vaan leave them empty-handed?

Although Vaan suspected everyone would volunteer, he couldn't bring everyone along.

"I only need thirty people, so I can't bring all of you with me. I will be picking out those who will follow me now," Vaan stated.

Shortly after, Vaan selected twenty-eight Body Refiners of varying age and strength.

The atmosphere quickly became tense over the last two spots as the Body Refiners who had been chosen clenched their fists with hopeful expressions. Each of them silently prayed that they would be chosen next.

Meanwhile, Berucha was disheartened when he hadn't been among Vaan's first choices. He was further disheartened once the available spots dropped to two. At this point, he practically lost all hope of being chosen.

He knew his talent was very poor.

"Berucha."

Shortly after Vaan called out the twenty-ninth name, Berucha froze in a daze. Just when he lost hope, he was suddenly picked. Happiness came so suddenly that he didn't know how to react.

More importantly, they were amazed by the city's advanced development and people.

"These people are... Lunarans? They're humans!"

Berucha and his group were surprised by the discovery. They thought Celestials were all fish

people.

Nevertheless, Vaan didn't heed the group; he focused on the captured nobles.

The nobles had frantically demanded their release during Vaan's absence. However, their cries had fallen on deaf ears. The Knights and soldiers had completely ignored their pleas and crocodile tears.

Now that Vaan paid them attention, they became energetic again.

"Unseal me at once, Land Dweller! Do you know who I am? A Noble! I demand a fair trial in Celestial City!" the Baron roared fearfully. He knew he was finished if he didn't make it to

Celestial City.

However, would Vaan give him such a chance?

Pak!

Vaan casually smacked the Baron's loudmouth, but the latter's lower ripped off and flew into the distance due to the excessive force. The Baron nearly died on the spot. The other nobles immediately shuddered at the sight and kept their mouths shut tight.

At the same time, Vaan was taken aback. The Baron's body was surprisingly fragile when his

high cultivation base was sealed. He was no different from a mortal.

Nevertheless, it mattered not whether the Baron was alive or dead for his upcoming

experiment.

Still, he had certainly shut up the noisy noble one way or another.

Baron lost the courage to raise his voice again. He could only stare at Vaan helplessly from the ground, filled with infinite fear. He didn't know what Vaan planned to do with him, but it

couldn't be good.
