Chapter 10: ch 10: world sovereignty
If a bomb exploded in the modern world, it would undoubtedly be a serious incident requiring thorough investigation. However, in the ancient world, where gunpowder was unheard of, the situation was entirely different.
It was seen as "thunder from heaven",a divine punishment.
The aftermath of the incident was simpler than Rock had anticipated. The fear of this "thunder from heaven" and reverence for the "gods" prompted the authorities to suppress the matter of their own accord..
By now, Rock had lost interest in the matter. He walked alone across mountains and rivers, through dense forests, until he arrived at a gate.
With a command of "Open sesame," the door creaked open, revealing a dazzling golden light that illuminated the surroundings.
Rock stepped inside, surveyed the treasure, and nodded with satisfaction. "This must be close to a three-meter-tall hill of gold. I'd wager this isn't just the loot of the forty thieves."
He smirked. Robbery, after all, can be inherited.
But now, all of it belonged to him.
Picking up a gold ingot, Rock examined it thoughtfully. "The purity is mediocre, and the quality isn't the best. But the sheer quantity more than makes up for it. Such a massive stockpile of gold and silver treasures is worth at least hundreds of millions of U.S. dollars."
"Hundreds of millions of dollars are just enough for my next plan."
Throwing the gold back casually, Rock skillfully opened the light curtain.Now that the task was complete, the interface had undergone significant changes.
[Current world: Alibaba and the Forty Thieves
Alienation degree: None
World strategy degree: 100%]
[Do you want to activate world sovereignty?]
"Yes," Rock said, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. He had been curious about world sovereignty for a long time.
World sovereignty activated!
World scan complete!
Sovereignty rewards are being condensed...
Sovereignty rewards successfully condensed!
[Choose one of the following sovereignty options:
1. Wealth and Prosperity (White): Your assets will naturally grow by 1% daily.
2. Strength in Numbers (White): The more subordinates you have, the higher their morale becomes, increasing by 1 for every 10 subordinates.
3. Good Luck (Green): Moderately increases your luck.
4. Resurrection (Universal): After death, you can be resurrected once in this world.
(PS: Special sovereignty, obtainable once per conquered world).]
Looking at the so-called sovereignty in front of him, Rock couldn't help but raise his brows.
This so-called world sovereignty is actually completely different from what he had imagined before.
Looking at the annotations, it feels like it is a special reward that fits the characteristics of this world.
Needless to say,the first one clearly fit the mountain of treasure in front of him. The second aligned with the concept of the forty thieves. The third represented the 'protagonist' Alibaba.
Rock rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Judging by the characteristics of this world, Alibaba and the Forty Thieves is a very low-level world with minimal danger. The extraordinary elements here are almost nonexistent,the only exception is Elsa."
"So, if I conquer a powerful fairy tale world, such as the Snow White world, I think I should be able to gather sovereignty rewards related to the extraordinary. If I conquer those worlds where miracles appear or even gods appear,..."
Rock's breathing suddenly quickened.
Perhaps, it is not impossible to ascend to godhood in one step!!
After a moment, Rock took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart.
He raised his head and glanced at the four sovereignty rewards again. In just a moment, Rock made a decision.
"select 4!"
The first three rewards, while useful in their own ways, were ultimately irrelevant to him. Money? He already had plenty. Across multiple worlds, there was nothing he couldn't acquire. Morale? That was only useful in large-scale conquests, and he had other means of achieving it.
Luck is more important, but that's all. Rock knows most of the fairy tale worlds very well. He knows what treasures there are. Why do you need luck to find them?
On the contrary, the fourth one, an extra life, is very important.
Next, if there is no accident, it is time to conquer the world of Snow White. The danger level of that world is much higher than that of Alibaba.
