The sudden appearance of a new type of reward caught everyone off guard. Even the Saints found it hard to see the value in such a thing. Saints are generally confident about matters within their grasp, but when faced with something unfamiliar or beyond their control, they naturally tend to adopt a conservative approach.
Having cultivated to this level, there was no need to take unnecessary risks. Besides, there was hardly anything left in the Primordial World worth gambling on.
This "Challenge Card" was completely unexpected. It revealed that the myriad worlds were not limited to just the Primordial World. The Saints were now aware of the existence of countless other worlds beyond. However, they had no idea about the strength of these external worlds, and thus, they had to tread carefully. So, when Ye Tian received the Challenge Card as his reward, they decided to advise him.
In their hearts, Ye Tian was considered a hidden powerhouse of the Primordial World. If, by any chance, he encountered a mishap while fighting against powerhouses from other worlds, the Primordial World would lose a critical combatant.
This was not a risk they could afford to take. The Challenge Card signified that there were countless other worlds, and this revelation meant that even the previously hostile Saints needed to unite. Clearly, the myriad worlds outside were their collective opponents.
Although they still believed that the Primordial World was the strongest, they had no way of knowing the exact strength of these external worlds.
[Hongjun]: "Ye Tian, this Challenge Card seems quite dangerous. It could be a trap. We don't know the true strength of those from the external worlds. If you rashly choose the Challenge Card, it might lead to trouble. A safer approach would be to check the second reward option first."
Hongjun's suggestion was clear: abandon the Challenge Card and opt for the next reward. Even though the second reward hadn't been revealed yet, in his opinion, it would still be better than the Challenge Card. After all, it was unlikely for two Challenge Cards to appear simultaneously.
Minimizing risk was the logical choice. Powerhouses like Ye Tian were exceedingly rare in the Primordial World.
[Nuwa]: "That's right. While the rewards for winning with the Challenge Card are undoubtedly rich, failure yields nothing. It's better to see what the second reward is. If it's acceptable, go for it. At least you'll have a guaranteed reward, rather than risking everything."
[Zhunti]: "I agree. The external powerhouses might be overwhelmingly strong, and since we don't know much about them, they could have tricks up their sleeves. It's better to be cautious."
The Saints' sudden shift in attitude puzzled the weaker cultivators. They had assumed that Ye Tian's hidden strength would naturally make him a target for hostility from other Primordial beings. However, the appearance of the Challenge Card had prompted these Saints to persuade Ye Tian instead.
[Ancestor Minghe]: "Ye Tian is incredibly powerful. Why wouldn't he choose the Challenge Card? The rewards for winning are bound to be far greater. There's no reason to give up!"
[Sun Wukong]: "I agree! A powerhouse of Ye Tian's caliber shouldn't cower in fear. He should push his limits, challenge the strong from other worlds, and claim greater rewards!"
[Guanyin Bodhisattva]: "There's no need to rush. This is just the first reward, the Challenge Card. Let's wait and see what the second reward is before making a decision. Then we can pick the better of the two."
No matter the debate, the weaker cultivators could not comprehend the Saints' concern for someone as strong as Ye Tian. They failed to understand that, for the Saints, Ye Tian represented a crucial force for the Primordial World.
With the revelation of the myriad worlds, it was clear that Ye Tian's strength, combined with the Saints' unity, could secure a foothold for the Primordial World among the external worlds. Although the Saints didn't yet know the strength of these other realms, Ye Tian's power was indispensable.
If the external worlds harbored ill intentions toward the Primordial World, a stronger Primordial World would be harder to invade. Ye Tian's power served as a key deterrent.
Losing the Challenge Card might mean missing out on rewards, but if Ye Tian were severely injured or even perished during a challenge, the consequences would be disastrous for the Primordial World.
When Hongjun received this information, he pondered that they should first investigate the external worlds before making any rash moves. Acting without sufficient information seemed far too risky for Ye Tian. Fınd the newest release on novｅlfire.net
However, their advice held little sway over Ye Tian. He already had his own plans, and no amount of persuasion could alter his decisions.
Ye Tian knew far more about the myriad worlds than anyone else. He had traveled extensively and understood that the Primordial World ranked among the very top in terms of power.
Not only was the Primordial World's overall strength formidable, but Ye Tian himself was unmatched within it. This also meant that his strength ranked among the best in all the myriad worlds.
Even if the Challenge Card summoned a top-tier powerhouse, Ye Tian believed he still had a fighting chance.
After all, this was just the second reward. There had to be limits to its difficulty—it couldn't summon an opponent too overwhelming.
[Ye Tian]: "You don't need to worry. I know what I'm doing. The Challenge Card has its clear advantages. The powerhouses of the external worlds aren't as terrifying as you imagine."
Ye Tian's words in the livestream room left everyone astonished, but they also instilled great confidence in his audience.
If any other powerhouse had said this, few would have believed them. But Ye Tian's overwhelming strength lent credibility to his claims.
Even Hongjun felt reassured upon hearing this. He trusted Ye Tian's strength and knew Ye Tian wouldn't joke about such matters.
Given Ye Tian's dominance in the Primordial World, it was unlikely he would face insurmountable challenges in the external realms.
