Choose one of the two.
Chen Feng sank into contemplation. No matter which one he chose or gave up, he would feel a dull ache in his chest. Erwin's talent wasn't high. Part of the credit for Erwin's advancement to the Gold rank was due to Erwin. And now, after helping Rose devour a god, Chen Feng would take advantage of this opportunity to make Erwin a true Legend.
An auction overseen by a Legend and an auction overseen by a peak Gold rank were two completely different concepts. Powerful strength meant that it would attract prying eyes. Those peddlers might not have put Erwin in their eyes before, after all, he was too weak. But now, it was different. Once Erwin succeeded in his advancement, his status as a Legend would become a stepping stone for her advancement.
And for Order, this would only be beneficial and not detrimental.
As for the other option, it would be for Rose to personally guide him. There was no need to care about what methods Rose would use. However, one thing was for sure: after receiving all this, Chen Feng's strength would undergo a true transformation. It would be impossible for him to enter the epic stage. However, this was similar to the difference between 50% and 60%. Even an increase of 10 points would be an unimaginable improvement for the future.
Chen Feng didn't have much time left.
Because the one standing in front of him wasn't a peddler, but a true god. The other party wouldn't have enough patience to let him think for too long. Chen Feng had to make a decision as soon as possible.
Ten seconds passed.
Chen Feng stared into Rose's eyes and said, "I choose to let Erwin advance!"
After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Feng finally chose to let his last subordinate who hadn't entered the Legend rank complete that crucial transformation.
This wasn't a world that glorified individual heroism. Although it was important to increase one's strength, there was always a higher mountain. Chen Feng also understood this principle. Just look at that dark elf not far away. Even if she was a true Legend rank, she was still as weak as paper in front of a mummy. In an instant, she was torn to pieces.
As for his own strength, Chen Feng had some plans, but Erwin was different. Once he successfully advanced, he would be a great help to the auction.
Not only that, but the Dark Elves also had a strict hierarchy. The stronger they were, the more power Erwin would have. Chen Feng already had the ability to open up the Abyss. When the time came, the number of powerhouses under Erwin's command would increase. For Chen Feng and Order, it would be a win-win situation.
It was precisely because of this that Chen Feng ultimately chose to promote Erwin and not himself. This was not some laughable choice of self-sacrifice, but Chen Feng's true plan for the future.
"Alright!"
Rose nodded. Next, her body transformed into a thick black fog. As Chen Feng focused his gaze, a human silhouette appeared within the black fog. Shortly after, a majestic city appeared before him.
The people in the city weren't ordinary humans, but hideous demons and monsters. On the left and right were dark elf guards. Without a doubt, this was the auction venue Erwin was in.
The scene changed. In a bedroom, a dark elf was taking a nap. At that moment, she seemed to have sensed something. Her body tensed up, and she lay on the ground, mumbling to herself with an unusually devout expression.
Erwin muttered to herself. All of a sudden, her body was enveloped in a layer of black radiance. Then, a silent spider emerged behind her!
The spider was two meters tall. Its eight eyes were tightly shut. But even so, it still emanated an irresistible, terrifying aura. Even though Chen Feng was only looking at the scene in the Abyss, he still couldn't utter a single word as though his throat was being choked!
At the last moment before the black fog dispersed, Erwin's body trembled all of a sudden. She seemed to have been injected with new energy. Without a doubt, Rose had fulfilled her promise and helped Erwin complete the promotion.
The surroundings fell into silence once again.
Only the corpse of the Dark Elf remained in place.
"An epic corpse?" Chen Feng's eyes glowed. Even though the dark elf's flesh and soul had been sucked dry, the corpse left behind was still a true treasure!
But …
This was Rose's guard. Who knew how many battle achievements he had made for her when he was alive? If he rashly ruined the corpse, wouldn't she feel disgusted?
As soon as this thought surfaced, Chen Feng rejected it.
If Rose really cared about the dark elf, she wouldn't have left his corpse in this place. Rose's teachings were full of darkness and malice. When she was bored, she would even take the initiative to incite the hatred of the dark elves and make them kill each other. In her world view, true powerhouses were born in such a way.
If the epic dark elf was still useful before, then after she died, she became a piece of trash that could be abandoned at any time.
The bold would die from overeating, and the cowardly would starve to death.
After devouring a half-dead god, who knew how much divinity was left in the dark elf's body? But this time, Rose's harvest must have been bountiful. The corpse of an epic powerhouse was just an extra reward.
Chen Feng had a choice, which was to give the corpse to Saruman. Saruman was a Lich and was proficient in transforming corpses. An epic corpse could shine in his hands.
However, the life of this corpse had already been taken away. Even if he succeeded in refining it, it would only be at the peak of Legend rank, perhaps half-step epic, and unable to become an epic undead!
Not to mention Order, even Chen Feng had many half-step epic summoned beasts in his hands. He didn't have as much desire for an undead of the same rank as he imagined. It would be better to leave the corpse here and observe the changes, to see if there was anything else he could use.
After thinking through all this, Chen Feng stepped forward and extended his hand. Shortly after, a damaged plane appeared and absorbed the corpse.
Chen Feng looked around. Everywhere was a scene of desolation. After the corpse disappeared, the surroundings became even more desolate. It was still like a ghost town, and people didn't dare to rashly enter.
The energy of the corpse was too powerful, and the vitality in the surroundings had long been devoured. It would take at least a few hundred years for this place to recover to its previous state. Moreover, because the death aura here was too dense, the number of undead creatures like specters would increase greatly.
At that time, perhaps he could summon Saruman and see if he could excavate some of the remains left behind by the corpse. The foundation of a god? Even if it was only a ten-thousandth of it, once he obtained it, it would be a great help to Chen Feng!
Rose had only given him a one-way ticket. If he wanted to return to Order, Chen Feng could only rely on himself. However, Order was now on the right track, and it wouldn't hurt for him to leave for a period of time. On the other hand, those people from the Sea God's Residence had been developing here for quite some time. Chen Feng wanted to see how far this place had developed after a period of rest and recuperation!
