Beyond the Timescape

Military credits were the main ways cultivators could be promoted in the army. And they were the main currency that could be used to acquire ringsource.

Although it wasn’t hard to earn military credits on the battlefield, it would definitely be difficult to get 1,000,000 of them. Normally speaking, getting that many would involve killing ten Altar Gods, or perhaps one peak Altar God. As for 10,000,000... it would be impossible to get that many without killing a True God.

But now, even just evidence leading to the capture of the goddess could bring in 1,000,000, while capturing hēr was worth 10,000,000. The vast majority of cultivators would find such a reward extremely enticing.

That wasn’t even to mention the fact that, in addition to military credits, the reward included ringsource. Ringsource was usually categorized into ‘portions.’ When Xu Qing and the ascendees were in the Department of Acquisitions, their mission requirements usually involved getting 100 portions of ringsource!

Considering that, a reward of 10 portions of ringsource for evidence of the goddess was equivalent to ten percent of their previous mission quota. Meanwhile, capturing the goddess would bring in 100 portions, which was obviously an astonishing amount.

As these orders filtered through the front lines, it caused a big surge of excitement among the army cultivators. Given the ringsource reward, even the most outstanding figures among the cultivators were interested.

But what was most enticing to the high-level cultivators, particularly those in the great circle of Quasi-Immortal, was... the daoist title of true monarch! True monarch was a title reserved for apprentices of Immortal Lords. It was a representation of status, resources, and a bright future. In other words, anyone who captured the goddess would gain an Immortal Lord as a Master!

Add all of those factors together, and it resulted in ninety-nine percent of cultivators being worked up into a frenzy.

The one percent who weren’t very excited by those things were the leadership cultivators who were already Lower Immortals, or army vassals with extremely high cultivation base and status. Yet, even their eyes were currently glittering, and their hearts pounding. That was because of the final item mentioned in the reward for capturing the goddess.

A dao weapon forged by an Immortal Lord! It would be a precious treasure that contained the might of an Immortal Lord! It would be easier to find a phoenix feather or a qilin horn than a treasure as rare as that. Even Lower Immortals would find something like that exciting.

The end result was that the new orders caused a huge sensation on the front lines of the eastern theater. In the blink of an eye, a massive search effort began. All army units and all cultivators, even the Corpsedrainers, took action!

Lower Immortals personally joined in the search, but also sent orders to their subordinates to do the same, while also offering their own rewards for those who reported clues.
