Chapter 80: Generous Gifts, Bestowing Favors to All
Above the mountain range at the plane's boundary, the massive ball of energy—formed from the fall of countless Abyss Creatures and preliminarily purified by the Golden Ancient Tree—continued to rotate slowly within a cocoon of seven-colored light. Its color gradually shifted from an eerie dark red to a pure milky white, emitting a refreshing breath of life.
The sheer magnitude of this energy was enough to tempt any god-level powerhouse. However, when Lei Chen's gaze swept over it, he remained calm and indifferent, as if he were looking at an ordinary pool of water, with no intention of keeping it for his own absorption.
As the Plane Master of the Douluo Plane, he and the plane were essentially one and the same.
No matter who absorbed this external energy or how it was converted, it would ultimately settle within this plane, strengthening its overall foundation and volume. Therefore, he did not need to absorb it personally; he could distribute the energy entirely, and the effect on him would be the same.
Upholding this philosophy, Lei Chen moved slightly. In the next instant, he had crossed through space and appeared below, where several demi-god level powerhouses had gathered.
Xue Di, Di Tian, Du Busi, and Kong Deming—these four had stepped forward during this plane war to fight bloodily against the Abyssal Kings, serving as the heroes who stabilized the core battle lines. Upon seeing Lei Chen's descent, they immediately restrained their auras and bowed in salute.
"No need for such formalities," Lei Chen spoke indifferently. His voice was calm yet carried an inherent majesty as he cut straight to the point. "To have repelled the powerful enemy in this battle, your contributions are paramount. Of the energy obtained from this battle, the Necromancer Saint God shall receive forty percent alone. Of the remaining sixty percent, you four shall each receive ten percent." As soon as these words were spoken, even with Xue Di's coldness, Di Tian's majesty, Du Busi's wildness, and Kong Deming's steadiness, looks of astonishment and uncontrollable joy involuntarily surfaced on their faces.
Ten percent of the energy might not sound like much, but one had to realize that the total sum of this energy was comparable to the entire foundation of a complete Second-Rank Deity. Even just ten percent was so vast and pure that it far exceeded the total accumulation they could achieve through many years of bitter cultivation.
This meant that as long as they could thoroughly absorb and refine this energy, not only would breaking through to the level 100 god rank be a certainty, but they might even leap to level 103, 104, or even higher, truly establishing a firm foothold in the god-level domain!
This was undoubtedly a heavenly blessing, a grand reward capable of changing the trajectory of their destinies!
"We thank the Plane Master for his generous gift!" The four thanked him in unison, their voices filled with excitement and gratitude.
Lei Chen nodded slightly and turned his gaze toward Kong Deming, continuing, "Furthermore, Kong Deming."
"This junior is here," Kong Deming hurriedly took a step forward, his posture becoming even more respectful.
"On the demi-god battlefield, you were the first to kill the Scythe Emperor, breaking the deadlock and drawing out the Holy Sovereign. Your merit is great. That pair of divine scythes from the Scythe Emperor shall be bestowed upon you. You may study their properties or use them for other purposes; the decision is yours."
As Lei Chen spoke, he raised his hand and gestured. The pair of dark scythes, covered in cracks yet still emitting a sharp aura, slowly flew toward Kong Deming.
Kong Deming took the heavy divine artifacts with both hands. Feeling the sharp laws and abyssal aura contained within, his heart surged even more.
This was not just a powerful trophy of war, but also the Plane Master's recognition and encouragement of his abilities.
He bowed deeply once more: "Kong Deming will certainly not fail the expectations of the Plane Master. I will do my utmost to study this weapon and strengthen myself to better protect the plane!"
At this time, under the continuous refinement of the Golden Ancient Tree, a large portion of the massive energy sphere high in the sky had been converted into pure Life Origin.
Lei Chen tapped his fingertip lightly, and the newly converted forty percent of energy was evenly divided into four parts. They turned into four smaller but still dazzlingly bright milky-white spheres, floating respectively toward Xue Di, Di Tian, Du Busi, and Kong Deming.
"This is what you deserve. Refine it well and increase your strength as soon as possible," Lei Chen instructed.
The four accepted the spheres with great care and responded in unison, "We obey the divine decree!"
After distributing the rewards for the demi-god level, Lei Chen cast his gaze toward the battlefield below that stretched for ten thousand miles, still permeated with faint smoke and the scent of blood. He looked at the countless soldiers of the allied forces who were waiting expectantly, their eyes filled with the joy of survival and hope for the future.
He hovered in the air, his voice calm yet clearly spreading across the entire boundary, entering the ears and hearts of every survivor: "In this battle, every warrior of my plane is a hero of merit. All who died in battle are the heroic spirits of my world, deserving of veneration, and also deserving... to return!"
As his words fell, the seven-colored divine light around Lei Chen flared brilliantly, creating a strong resonance with the Golden Ancient Tree below. A vast and gentle fluctuation of the Law of Life spread out like ripples, sweeping through every corner of the battlefield.
A miraculous scene occurred.
The incomplete remains scattered across the scorched earth—whether they were humans or Soul Beasts—as long as their true spirits had not been completely polluted and annihilated by the abyssal aura, they now began to slowly coalesce under the pull of the Life Origin.
Flesh was reshaped, and souls returned to their places. Figures that had originally lost their vitality stood up once more within the soft halo. Their eyes held confusion, which then transformed into unbelievable ecstasy!
"Resurrected! They've really been resurrected!"
"The Plane Master did not lie to us!"
"Brother, you've come back to life!"
...
Earth-shaking cheers rang out again, even more enthusiastic than when the enemy was repelled, filled with the joy of life and awe and worship for the supreme power of the Plane Master.
This miracle of resurrection witnessed with their own eyes was more effective at uniting hearts than any promise or reward, bringing the loyalty and faith of all living beings toward the Plane Master to an unprecedented height.
Looking at the scene of life returning below, Lei Chen nodded slightly. Then, he turned his gaze toward the final remaining twenty percent of the energy sphere in the air.
This final energy belonged to all the participants of the war.
With a gentle wave of his sleeve, that last twenty percent of the energy sphere suddenly burst apart. However, it produced no destructive force; instead, it turned into a sky full of soft and warm milky-white light rain, drizzling down and covering the entire area where the Douluo Allied Forces were located.
The light rain fell upon every soldier. Regardless of whether they were previously injured or what their cultivation level was, they all felt a surge of pure and gentle life energy flowing into their bodies.
Injuries healed rapidly, consumed Soul Power was quickly restored, and even many Soul Masters who were stuck at a bottleneck felt signs of it loosening under the nourishment of this life energy!
"The victory of this battle is the merit of all soldiers; I share it with you all." Lei Chen's voice was like a spring breeze brushing across the earth.
Bathing in the light rain of life, feeling their strength being restored and enhanced, and watching their comrades return to life, all members of the Douluo Allied Forces—both humans and Soul Beasts—now offered their highest respect and cheers from the bottom of their hearts toward that towering figure in the sky.
