Chapter 274: Guild Rank 1 Rewards
[The first world-event has been concluded.
Congratulations to those who reached the Top 100.
Rewards have been delivered to your account.]
Max had finished all his matters for the day just in time to hear the conclusion of the first world-event.
Although he had not participated in the demon war for the past week, his contributions were still far higher than the second-place player, even when Spencer had been given an entire week to chase after his contribution points.
It was inevitable.
Max accumulated more than three million contribution points, while Spencer had just barely touched one million contribution points when the event concluded.
The result was similar to the Guild ranking, cementing Max and his Guild’s position in first place.
Hence, for the past week, Max had been busy managing his Guild for its further advancement, fervent in his desire to pursue his goal—exploring the Ashen Expanse.
He was deeply curious about what lay ahead there and whether it was really possible for humans to wage war against demons not just to protect their territory, but to devour a piece of theirs.
He also had to balance his responsibilities in real life, having been constantly nagged by Kylie.
Max could not simply ignore her either. He had to sustain his luxurious life.
Once the system concluded the first world-event and congratulated those who had won, another series of announcements echoed throughout the Empire.
[World Event Completed!
Guild Ranking: #1
The Demon Hunters Guild has achieved First Place in the First World-Event.
*Rewards:
Guild Title — First War Champion
Guild Skill — Warfront Command
Guild Artifact — Banner of Conquest
Legendary Guild Chest ×5...]
The system continued to show the Top 10 Guilds and their rewards, but the first-ranked Guild, the Demon Hunters Guild, received rewards that remained more eye-catching compared to the others, especially those ranked second and below.
Even more so was the First War Champion title that only the Demon Hunters Guild received.
A permanent Guild Title displayed beside the Guild’s name.
Only the Demon Hunters Guild received it.
Meanwhile, the other Top 2 and Top 3 Guilds received a Guild Skill and Guild Artifact similar to the Top 1, but they only received two Legendary Guild Chests.
A single Legendary Guild Chest could definitely become the foundation of a Guild, but the fact that the Demon Hunters Guild received five...
Max was fully aware of the significance of the Legendary Guild Chests, aside from the other three significant rewards.
In his past life, the Lewis Guild, which had reached first place, received three Legendary Guild Chests that became the foundation of their Guild and attracted NPCs and players alike to join their Guild.
It was why Max was honestly surprised by the five Legendary Guild Chests.
This is probably because I reached three million contribution points as the first-ranked player, compared to the half a million contribution points that the Lewis Guild accumulated in my past life.
Max could still remember the contribution points of Spencer and his Guild during the first world-event in his past life.
After all, Spencer and his Guild had won by a large margin.
While they had accumulated six digits, the others could not even reach that amount.
Now, there were five players and five Guilds that had accumulated six digits and above.
Max had truly affected the new timeline.
But Max, unlike before, did not care much anymore.
Just his idea of exploring the Ashen Expanse before the apocalypse descended had thoroughly changed the narrative of the new timeline that was supposed to follow his past life.
Max then asked the system to show the status of his Guild and quickly proceeded to the rewards received option to read the description and effects of the rewards.

[Legendary Guild Chest ×5

Max was honestly surprised by the Guild Title, Guild Skill, and Guild Artifact’s effects.
Especially the Banner of Conquest.
It was just perfect for him in his campaign to conquer the Ashen Expanse.
Enhanced by the Guild Active Skill, Max did not need to worry about designating Support classes for his Guild members.
Just Warfront Command and Banner of Conquest alone were more than enough, and adding the Supports at the back to strengthen the Warriors, Mages, and Rangers would definitely transform his Demon Hunters into terrifying figures that could fight toe-to-toe with the demons.
However, as always, just his Demon Hunters were not enough.
He glanced at the Legendary Guild Chests and clicked the Open 5x option in his system panel without hesitation.
The Legendary Guild Chests shone with a brilliant light that could blind anyone.
But Max kept his eyes wide open.
He was eager to see what rewards awaited his Guild.
Suddenly, the brilliant light faded, and the golden chests from earlier were replaced by an icon.
An intimidating ballista.
