The brand is very useful. It informs them of specific missions that mother high heaven wants to be completed. It will also keep track of the efforts of everyone towards the completion of the missions and report the data to Mother Heaven for the calculation of their contributions. They will able to see their contribution points through it without having to ask the realm lord or mother heaven.
"Let me have a look at what we sold our souls for," Aeternus said as he went through the reward list.
Then he chuckled to himself. "Maybe it isn't so bad."
There is information within the brand about the rewards that they can get and the number of contributions needed to exchange for it. The sight of the good things there startled even Aeternus and he has seen a lot of powerful items.
Life essence and origin essence are average items on this list. There is Celestial Godhood and the Authority of the Celestial Supreme. There are top-grade artifacts like his claymore and world fragments.
It is a mind-boggling sight. There are even world sparks, world engines, and world fragments but they are currently unavailable. They will become available once the era of conquest starts. The amount of contribution points needed to acquire them is also very large.
The requirement of contribution for these three items makes it almost impossible to acquire without luck and highly significant effort but the most important thing is that is possible. It may be difficult, but it is now possible through the coalition.
It is almost impossible to acquire them in a normal situation but the coalition has made the opportunity available to them. So Aeternus changed his opinion of the coalition when he saw the list. He is allowed to. He is a demon with no integrity.
He looked at the clouds of energy and thought to himself.
"No wonder WRATH and the others called for an abyssal conclave and no wonder they swore the Oath to stop hunting demon kings. They know what they are doing."
It will be difficult for a single individual to achieve enough contribution points for the most valuable items but it is possible for demon gods. Demon gods are not a single individual. They are sins. Sins are arbitrary. They lack definite form and most importantly, sins don't adhere to rules. Those who sin are rule breakers. Demon gods are sins themselves. They exist to break rules.
All in all, it is a good sight. It relieved some of the Ill feelings that all the demon kings felt when the will of Mother High Heaven entered the abyss. Demons don't like outsiders in the abyss. They respect Mother High Heaven because she is powerful but she doesn't have jurisdiction in the abyss.
The coalition of the abyss brings a good opportunity for advancement but it also subjects them to the scrutiny of mother high heaven. She will be able to know whatever they do now and if she catches any of them betraying the realm tree, they will be done for.
It is an unpleasant feeling for them. Again, it is not that they intend to betray the realm of high heaven right from the start. But they just want and like the freedom to be able to betray the realm tree. It is called freedom. They are demons, not some docile race.
Aeternus shrugged. "It is bound to happen anyway. The era of conquest is coming."
The era of conquest will change a lot of things. No matter how it ends, the abyss will be no more so this is a worthy trade for the abyss. The deal doesn't only impact demon lords, demon kings, and demon gods. It also affects the whole abyss. If the realm tree wins the era of conquest, the entire abyss won't disappear anymore.
The first layer of the abyss will be kept and the other planes of demon kings. They will be under the supervision of Mother high heaven then so this situation is just expediting the inevitable. It is either that or they lose the abyss completely. As they say, half-bread is better than none. Even if the bread is bitter, you will eat it because you are starving and have no other choice. Demons are without any other option.
WRATH began to address them, "That went well. I am sure that those of you that have joined the coalition know the full details of the deal that the realm lord offered us. As you can see, it is as I said. You can choose to not participate and watch as the others take in contribution points and benefits. You can be sure that you won't be cheated by the realm lord since this is enforced by both the will of the abyss and mother high heaven."
The God of wrath spoke with a smug tone. It is obvious that it is very pleased with itself. It is smug because the demon kings were reluctant at first but they must have all had a change of attitude after seeing the benefits that the realm lord is offering them. As for WRATH, it is after the world spark.
The world engine is too expensive and it won't lead to evolution. There will be two World Sparks available if the realm tree wins. The realm lord will also be able to acquire more. World Sparks are mostly useless to other beings but it is a boon to demon gods. So the realm lord is buying their power cheaply.
Then it bid them farewell. "It was nice doing business with you. You're free to go now. As for those that didn't join the coalition, I will come to pay you a visit very soon."
WRATH sent out a weak wave after speaking. The wave struck everyone. The wave passed through those that didn't join the coalition. But the members of the coalition rebuffed the wave. They are protected by the Oath of non-violence from the demon gods so the wave avoided them. This privilege is for only those who joined the coalition. WRATH used this method to sift them and mark its targets of retribution.
