Chapter 436 Setting Sail for the New Continent!
As for handing their items over to the divine envoy of the God of Trade for sale? That was a thought that only someone with a screw loose would entertain.
If they were dealing with ordinary items, it might be worth a try. But what they had in their hands were resources that could lead to ascension to godhood! To put it bluntly, the God of Trade wouldn\'t hesitate to sacrifice a divine envoy to obtain divine authority amber!
In this era, with calamity looming, the difficulty of becoming a deity was at an all-time high. One god was worth countless divine envoys. Consequently, the value of resources that could assist in godhood had reached its peak.
Selling them? Absolutely impossible!
The fifteen players quietly formed a private chat group to exchange opinions.
"We must stand together and not reveal anything about the items in the shop."
"Exactly! Otherwise, it would lead to our deaths. Those Supremes, driven mad by their desire to become gods, would kill us in a heartbeat, no matter how slim the odds, just to see if they could obtain the items."
"Killing us would be the better outcome! Those people would capture us alive, constantly interrogating us, using special items to prevent us from logging off, until they extract the fragments of divine authority amber."
They discussed and reached a conclusion!
The potential rewards were too massive—so big that even though they couldn\'t use them, they didn\'t dare to reveal them! The only solution was…
The fifteen players fell silent for a moment, and suddenly, they shared a common thought.
"Let\'s seek refuge with Lord David!"
"How about joining the Twilight Guild?"
Instantly, the atmosphere in the private chat group became much livelier.
"Aligning ourselves with Lord David is the best choice right now. His strength is the greatest in the Hall of Valor, and he can protect us."
"Right! Even if David wants to take all the resources from us, we\'d accept it. After all, it was with his help that we managed to obtain the divine authority amber!"
"Lord David wouldn\'t take everything for himself; he would leave us some, and that would still be a tremendous bargain for us."
The group discussed and managed to come up with a compromise that everyone could accept.
The main issue was that they couldn\'t hide the fact that they had ranked in the Valor Combatants conference. Everyone in the Hall of Valor was watching; there was no way to escape. Seeking a protective umbrella, they realized that an unexpected windfall could very well cost them their lives.
The fifteen players were quite clear-headed, understanding that what they needed to do now was not to figure out how to claim all the rewards from the Valor Combatants conference, but rather to ensure their own safety first.
So, in response to the enthusiastic calls from countless Supremes, the fifteen players quickly said,
"Thank you, esteemed ones, for your attention."

"However, our ability to receive these rewards is entirely due to the assistance of Lord David."
"These rewards, we intend to dedicate to Lord David, and we dare not overstep our bounds."
They didn\'t just say it; they immediately contacted the two vice presidents of the Twilight Guild. At the same time, they shared their screen.
The many Supremes were surprised to see that the fifteen players were indeed following through on their words, applying to join Twilight and promising to hand over their gains from the Valor Combatants conference, leaving it entirely to President David to decide how to handle it.
At that moment, even the expressions of the attending Supremes darkened significantly, yet they could not voice any objections. The logic of the fifteen players was sound. They had only achieved these rewards thanks to David; now they wanted to return the rewards to him—who could argue against that?
Moreover, the Supremes also understood that the rewards the fifteen players obtained from the conference were an extremely valuable resource for David. Would that ruthless fellow give up such a significant gain? Absolutely not! To try to forcefully purchase from them now would be tantamount to courting death.
Thus, the Supremes all showed friendly smiles.
"Yes, yes, yes! We didn\'t consider that at first!"
"You young friends truly understand the greater good."
"You\'ve thought this through; these rewards rightfully belong to President David. How could we dare to interfere?"
In an instant, the atmosphere became harmonious and cheerful.
Meanwhile, Sterl was initially unaware that the fifteen players who had managed to make it to the finals because of him intended to contribute their resources to him.
"This is going well, quite smoothly," he mused. At this moment, Sterl was busy increasing his contribution points to the Twilight Guild. The method was still the same old trick: dismantling the core of other guilds.
To his surprise, as David became renowned in the Valor Combatants conference, many guild leaders approached him without Sterl needing to seek them out. These leaders expressed their desire to contribute their guild cores and join Twilight.
Not all guilds were focused on raising their level to seven to compete for authority within the Hall of Valor. Most guild leaders established their guilds with the primary goal of gaining a few buffs. However, after running their guilds for decades or even centuries, their levels had naturally increased over time.
When these leaders learned that David was desperately trying to elevate the guild level of Twilight, they quickly realized—
It\'s good to have a strong ally!
With calamity approaching, what good was their small, shabby guild? Being under David\'s wing would offer them far better protection!
Moreover, the buffs received from joining the Twilight guild would be stronger than those from their original guild!
As a result, after collecting two cores that were willingly offered, Sterl decided to halt his own actions and delegate the tasks to Sosia and Sonis.
"From now on, you two are responsible for increasing the guild\'s contribution."
Sterl reclined in a wicker chair in the manor.
"Once we have enough contributions, I will promote the guild as quickly as possible."
Previously, he had obtained four tier-3 materials from a materials box and acquired ten more tier-3 materials through the champion shop. All the costs for upgrading from level six to level seven would be covered by the Blessing.
In reality, Sterl only needed thirteen materials for the upgrades from level four to five and from five to six. He even had an extra SSS-grade material.
Thus, he casually directed them.
Additionally, the thirteen guild materials would require thirteen upgrades.
Sterl planned to wait in the Hall of Valor while he arranged for his legendary promotion ceremony, using any spare points to evolve one or two of the guild materials.
If he could elevate the guild to level seven within a month, it should be enough to keep up with the tasks related to the Hall of Valor\'s authority competition.
As the guild leader, even if he was in another continent, Sterl could raise the guild level anytime and anywhere.
After giving instructions to the two sisters, Sterl approached and pulled Sosia and Sonis into his embrace, settling them on his lap.
He could log off to comfort the other women at home, but this pair of sisters could only remain in the Hall of Valor.
Sterl decisively decided to help them feel good before leaving.
"Master."
Sosia and Sonis looked at him with misty eyes.
Without hesitation, Sterl chose one and kissed her, his hand moving to loosen her clothing.
At this moment, the loyalty requests from the fifteen fortunate players arrived in the private chat pages of Sosia and Sonis. However, the two vice presidents, who were usually extremely dedicated, were completely oblivious to these trivial matters.
Sosia was the first to straddle Sterl, suddenly sitting down hard, feeling the overwhelming sensation as she let out a soft cry, reminiscent of a cat\'s mewl. Sonis, equally eager, leaped forward as well. This time, it seemed they were both aware of the impending separation, and Sterl along with the sister duo went all out.
Sterl continued to thrust, eliciting low, dizzying cries from Sosia until, after a final flurry of movements, the girl was nearly unconscious. Then it was Sonis\'s turn, as she was pinned down on the carpet, her legs raised high as she responded to Sterl\'s advances.
Once Sosia regained some stamina, she wrapped herself around Sterl again. He quickly brought her down once more before turning to Sonis. For a time, the entire manor was filled with muffled cries of pleasure.
The three of them engaged in their passionate encounter for a full day and night. Eventually, the sisters\' stamina was exhausted, and they fell into a deep slumber. Sterl placed the two beautiful girls back on the bed and then left the manor.
…
While Sosia and Sonis were still sleeping soundly, Sterl had already stepped aboard a rainbow ship. He was heading to the far north of the Vastor continent, where there was an ultra-long-distance teleportation array that crossed over to the southern continent of Loviath. This continent was under the influence of Ashen and was also the location marked by the Starry Clan in the Mark of the Heavens.
Sterl planned to rank up to legendary status there, etching his story into the annals of history.
By the way, Sterl was not only going to another continent to search for the traces of the Starry Clan. In reality, many legends would choose to ascend in an unfamiliar place. If one was already famous, the impact of their deeds would not be as profound. In contrast, rising from obscurity and causing a stir could lead to a more dramatic story with a stronger resonance, garnering higher acclaim.
Sterl had read in the tomes that the more significant the events undertaken during one\'s legendary ascension, the greater the impact and fame they would evoke, leading to better results! The legendary abilities consolidated in the future would also be more potent.
Although Sterl rarely used legendary abilities, it did not hinder him from exhausting every possible avenue to become stronger…
After spending a full three days on the rainbow ship, Sterl finally arrived at the far northern region. During this time, he successfully allocated points to max out his treasure compass.
Its name was—The Compass of Desire.
At that moment, Sterl completed the final point allocation. In his hand was a very worn-looking pocket watch, its surface marred and battered, with a twisted dial. The four cardinal directions were etched with various patterns: one resembling a cabinet, another depicting a human figure, along with a swirling mass of air and a balance scale design.
