Chapter 1278 Only a few traitors

With all said and done, Lex prepared to return to the Inn. He could no longer visit the site of the battle with Sekhmet, as the cloth assistant of the Dao Lord explained to him. Apparently, the governor was not exaggerating when he said that he was 'unkempt'. He was genuinely angry and disappointed at himself for wiping a piece of the Origin realm from existence.

There were many things to do, but the first thing he did was check his rewards. No, actually, first, he had to go through his tribulations. He did that before returning to the Inn. Suffice to say, they were completely inconsequential to Lex. Sure, the seventh tribulation was genuinely dangerous, and actually charred a lot of Lex's body. But he was then provided with a bowl of water he used to wash his body, which rapidly absorbed all the water, instantly healing him.

With that done, he bid his farewell, and returned to the Inn, ready to check the rewards the governor had given him.

His rush to check his rewards was not because in the past he delayed checking his rewards until he forgot about them - not at all. Instead, he could not believe that he got two hearts of a Jorlam!

That was a being so massive that a single one of its pupils was equivalent to a star. Its body defied Lex's capacity for comprehension. He could only imagine that a single one of its hearts was probably bigger than the continents in the Midnight realm, and he was right.

For the foreseeable future, they would remain within the ring the Dao Lord had given him. But they represented something extremely exciting.

Jorlam blood was perhaps one of the highest quality ingredients one could get below the Dao realm. If anyone tried to absorb it they would die via explosion, but since when had that been an issue for Lex? He'd found a way to use Cosmic Erosion Elixir to give his workers spatial abilities. He could only imagine what he could do with this.

First, he would use it to elevate himself, and then the others.

Then he looked at the other rewards he'd gotten. One was a small note, letting him know that he could keep entire planets inside this ring - not that he was surprised. This was larger than anything he'd ever seen before. It was larger than entire Minor realms!

Lex almost burst into laughter. The system was petty. But he had to admit, it sounded quite appealing to visit another immortal level hotel and see how they do things. He put it on his agenda.

"Mary, do we have any information about the HOA yet?"

"Not beyond the basics. The HOA is an organization of rogue cultivators, and they don't really have too stellar a reputation. The Henali share your suspicions about them being responsible for the evacuation for other high level members of Sanguis Pluvia. They'll update us when they learn more.

"By the way, your meeting with Jotun is set in a few hours. Apparently, he will be joined by William, and they're bringing something that'll help Moon's situation. They also said they have news about Liz, and will share it when they arrive."

Everything was coming together, which was honestly much better than he expected when he started preparations for this massive war.

"How is everyone faring? Was the cooperation alright? No unexpected issues?"

Considering that Lex had allied with devils, angels, A.I., demons, pirates, bunnies, peacocks, beasts and countless other races, empires and organizations, he did not expect everything to go smoothly. But then again, everyone knew what they were getting into.

"Actually, everyone other than the A.I. seem quite pleased with the end result. Only three groups tried to backstab us, and as per our deal with Lilith, we are handing over all captured traitorous souls to her as a reward for her help."

"Alright, sounds good enough. Let me know when Charles recovers from his tribulation, I have a letter for him. I'm assuming he passed his tribulation."

"Yes he did, though I expect he'll take a few weeks to adapt to his new realm. Not everyone is as quick about it as you."

Lex nodded, and then teleported to the Innkeeper's office, and slipped into his Host Attire. He sat down on the table, then mentally prepared himself to pull out the governor's letter. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
