The auction for the Cold Yin Crystal Flower, which cost a billion, was a success, but Bexia did not leave. Maybe there is something he needs in the next items, or maybe he just wants to broaden his horizons.
The quality of the upcoming auction items quickly increased. Perhaps it was because the climax of the auction was approaching. Almost every treasure that appeared was worth at least a billion. There were hundreds of such treasures. Bexia marveled at the reputation of the Dimensional Universe Commercial Guild.
"The next item cannot be displayed here due to certain special reasons, so I can only show you a video!" The auctioneer waved his hand, and a virtual screen projected onto the auction stage, showing a huge black battleship over 20,000 meters long. However, the battleship was extremely dilapidated.
Although the battleship was in a poor state, no one questioned it, as the Dayan Chamber of Commerce would not joke or deceive people with trash. They wouldn't do anything to ruin their reputation. Therefore, everyone looked at the auctioneer with questioning eyes, waiting for his answer.
"Have any of you heard of the [Mechanical Spirit Empire]?" The auctioneer smiled and teased them.
"The Mechanical Spirit Empire? Is it the one that attempted to challenge the creator-level world [Spirit Realm] with the power of technology?"
"Yes! It's the so-called Grand Void Level Mechanical Spirit Empire that claims to have reached the pinnacle of technological power in the dimensional universe."
"Five hundred million years ago, the Mechanical Spirit Empire created the most powerful technological weapon, [Damocles], and used it to challenge the Spirit Realm. Although they failed, they caused severe damage to the Spirit Realm. In the past, the Spirit Realm was a mid-level creation world. Even after so many years of recuperation, it hasn't been able to return to its former glory."
The auctioneer provided a lot of information. Bexia didn't know what the [Mechanical Spirit Empire] was, so he opened the virtual network to search for related information and quickly learned some relevant details.
A mighty empire built purely on the power of technology. It can be said that the reason why technological weapons are so widely used in the dimensional universe today is because of this Mechanical Spirit Empire. They brought technology to a level that could rival divine power.
"This battleship is the light combat ship of the Mechanical Spirit Empire, the [Konezy]. It was originally a super battleship on par with Saints, but it was destroyed in a battle. The Mechanical Spirit Empire recovered and upgraded it, turning it into a super battleship comparable to semi-immortality..."
"But now, nearly 80% of the Konezy's exterior has been scrapped. Only the core remains intact, containing all the information of the original battleship. As long as enough materials are spent, this battleship can be repaired. At that time, a semi-immortal battleship will be enough for me to travel freely in the dimensional universe!"
The auctioneer's voice was tempting, but everyone present was no fool. No matter how he boasted, only a few people were truly deceived by his words, and these people were not wealthy.
"It's an ancient artifact from five hundred million years ago. I'm afraid the value of repairing this battleship is almost the same as buying a brand new one!" A voice came from the second floor.
"The distinguished guest is right. But the most valuable part is actually the core, which contains a lot of the Mechanical Spirit Empire's technology. That is the real value!" the auctioneer saying with a smile.
"Have you not checked it?"
"This core is specially protected, so we cannot access it. Otherwise, would a semi-immortal battleship show up in this auction? Even if it did, could all of you really afford the price?"
The auctioneer had a confident smile on his face as he waved his hand, signaling a waiter to bring out a tray. Floating on the tray was a dull black crystal the size of a fist, shaped like a cube, with a faint glow swirling around it.
"Hmm!" As soon as the crystal appeared, Bexia furrowed her brows. A sensation of turmoil came from her Chaos Divinity in her soul space. There was definitely something wrong with this crystal.
The only thing that could elicit a reaction from Chaos Divinity was one of the thirteen God Divinities. Although it didn't look like it on the surface, Bexia was certain that this crystal contained one of the God Divinities.
"Do you feel it?" Lady Cloud asked, grabbing a strand of Bexia's hair with her palm.
"Yes!" Bexia nodded.
Lady Cloud didn't say much. Bexia already knew enough about the God Divinities. This was something that concerned her, and she had to obtain it.
"You folks from the Dayan Trading Association couldn't crack it, but you want us to─" Before the auctioneer could finish his sentence, he stopped himself. It was obvious that they couldn't rely on the Dayan Trading Association to solve something that even they couldn't handle.
"It's not that the Dayan Trading Association couldn't crack it. It's just that there's no value in cracking it. You all need to understand that it's not only half-immortal level stuff inside. There might even be immortal-level technology..."
"Do you really think immortal-level technology is so easy to come by? Even if there is immortal-level technology, it's probably just some ordinary auxiliary technology. Its value may not be as great as you claim."
"We don't know what's inside, but just so you know, this is a battleship that was reconstructed from the final battle of the Xie Ling Empire. There might even be secret weapons inside!" The auctioneer spoke with a smile. What he said made sense. After all, during the final battle of the Xie Ling Empire, many battleships were reconstructed, and it was not uncommon for them to possess technology that surpassed their original level. Such a situation was highly possible.
As the auctioneer spoke, someone furrowed their brows and fell into deep thought. He knew that his words had an effect. The intrinsic value of a battleship itself was no longer significant, but when certain possibilities were added, its value would be different. This world was never lacking gamblers who believed in their luck.
"Starting bid, one hundred million, with increments no less than one million." The auctioneer announced the starting bid.
"Why not go rob it for a hundred million?"
"A hundred million for a broken battleship? Are they crazy about money?"
The audience below erupted in a cacophony of voices, while Bexia frowned as she looked at the battleship core. At this moment, a voice came from the second floor.
"One hundred million and one million!" The voice wavered slightly, as a hundred million was no small bet.
"One hundred and fifty million!"
The second voice quickly followed, and one bid after another rose and fell. Most of them came from the second floor, but the increments were not significant. However, with the accumulation of voices, the bidding steadily climbed to one hundred and fifty million.
Immortal-level technology was indeed tempting. Even half-immortal-level technology was not something that a few hundred million yuan could measure. If it was an attack-based immortal-level technology, it couldn't be acquired even with billions of yuan, let alone the methods for producing it.
If it was a gamble on luck, a bet of several hundred million was not something that ordinary people could afford. That's why fewer and fewer people were willing to take such high-stakes bets, especially before the finale had been presented.
