update icon Updated at 2025/10/8 14:10:12

"Two billion!"

The sound of a voice falling made the atmosphere strangely quiet. It came from the second floor, while the first floor had long been silent.

The eerie silence suggested that the price had reached a height where no one dared to bid anymore. However, just as the auctioneer was about to speak, Bexia leisurely announced a new price.

"Two billion one million!"

"Two billion ten million!" The last bid was heard once again.

"Two billion ten million one hundred thousand!" Bexia unhesitatingly raised the bid again. The Divinity, belonging to the god-like Divinity, was something he must acquire.

"Hmph!" The voice snorted and increased the price once more.

"Three billion!"

"Three billion one million!" Bexia continued to raise the bid.

"Damn it, is this a game to mock me?" In a private room on the second floor, a young man with blue hair showed an angry expression. The surrounding maids were frightened and stepped back, as if the young man was a ferocious beast.

"Master, do not act rashly. We should focus on that item." The old man in a black robe standing beside him spoke.

"That guy was sent by that family. They clearly want to embarrass me. I can't swallow this!" the young man said angrily.

"Master, the bigger picture is what matters. If we could get there…”

The young man seemed to snap out of it and sat back down. His anger on his face subsided as he spoke, "I was impulsive. Thank you for reminding me, teacher."

"No need to worry. Let's first investigate their identities. A champion with just a servant who is also a champion. It should be simple to make them disappear, right?" The black-robed man revealed a cold smile.

"Someone seems to be watching me?" Bexia turned around warily. He felt as if he was being targeted by a venomous snake.

"It's not just a feeling, Betty. You have been marked by someone's power. As long as they don't exceed a certain distance, they can sense your location. Do you want sister to erase the mark?"

"Is that possible?" If it hadn't been for Lady Cloud, Bexia wouldn't have noticed anything.

"But I don't recommend erasing the mark."

"Why?" Bexia asked curiously.

"Naturally, it is to teach you what survival means. This world has always been a world where the strong prey on the weak. If you don't kill others, they might kill you for no reason." Lady Cloud sighed.

"You are too naive! I will teach you how to survive better in this world."

"I understand. I will listen to you, sister." Bexia nodded, though he understood these principles, hearing them from Lady Cloud didn't feel good.

After the bid of three billion one million, there was no more sound. To be honest, this price was not considered high, but it was also not low. If it had been in a more high-class place, the price might have increased significantly. However, in such places, this kind of item might not even make it to the stage.

This was a limitation brought by the region.

"Three billion one million, for the third time!"

"Deal! This semi-immortal battleship now belongs to this esteemed guest!"

"I believe all the esteemed guests have been waiting anxiously. We will now proceed to the final stage of our auction, where ten of the most precious items will be showcased!"

"Stop the nonsense and start already!"

"Yes! Let us witness what treasures we have this time!"

"Since everyone is so enthusiastic, let's begin the auction with the tenth item, the skeletal remains of the Saint-level interstellar behemoth, as most of you are aware."

This is the only item among the last ten that had information released. It is still an image, as storing the enormous beast's remains, even in compressed space, would increase costs unnecessarily. So, only the image of the beast's skeletal remains is projected.

"This is the skeletal remains of an intermediate-level Saint-level interstellar behemoth. It is almost undamaged and retains at least half of its former power. Whether it is used for forging equipment or for comprehending the remaining Saint-level mysteries, it is an extremely rare treasure!"

"Did you not say everything? Isn't the mystery also incomplete?" A voice from the second floor came from an elderly person.

"This esteemed guest is correct. Although the Saint-level behemoth's skeletal remains do not have the complete mysteries, they possess over seventy percent. The significance for monarchs goes without saying."

"Furthermore, these remains also contain a rich star energy. It can not only be used for comprehension but also for cultivating the younger generation in one's family. Bathing in the star energy of a Saint-level being would be immensely beneficial for the younger generation!"

The auctioneer promoted the benefits of the interstellar beast's skeletal remains from various angles, only briefly mentioning any drawbacks. This was a technique that auctioneers liked to use to increase the bidding for their items.

"The starting bid for this Saint-level interstellar beast's skeletal remains is one billion dimensional coins. However, according to the seller's request, if anyone can produce a Saint-level cultivation method, they will have priority to purchase!"

"What a joke! This thing is worth a Saint-level cultivation method? Even if it's a complete one, it wouldn't be worth this price!" Someone coldly sneered and mocked. To exchange it for a Saint-level cultivation method was simply wishful thinking.

"Even an incomplete one will do!" the auctioneer continued, not showing any expression on his face. He naturally anticipated this kind of situation.

"I bid eleven billion! Although it's incomplete, it wouldn't be bad to take it back for the younger ones." The owner of the voice was clearly trying to lower the price of the skeletal remains.

"Twelve billion!" Another cold voice spoke up, this time from a woman.

"Fourteen billion!"

"Fifteen billion..."

The bidding was becoming crazy, and everyone on the first floor became mere spectators. All the bidders were high-profile guests on the second floor, and the prices truly astonished Bexia. It seemed that he was just a poor beggar, unable to even make a splash with his five billion, especially since he had spent most of his dimensional coins on the battleship and his pockets were nowhere near enough for the small change of these big shots.

Soon, the interstellar beast's skeletal remains were auctioned off to someone for a price of twenty-three billion. Subsequently, the value of the items that followed was no lower than the skeletal remains, with all the prices reaching nearly twenty billion. Even the second-to-last item, a pill that could reduce the power of the first calamity for a Saint-level and increase the chances of a successful breakthrough, was sold for an astronomical price of sixty billion.

"The next item is the grand finale of our auction today. Although it may not be a treasure and cannot directly enhance one's strength, it is indeed the supreme path to becoming stronger!"

As the auctioneer spoke, he gestured for the attendant to come forward. On a precious red cloth was placed an ancient-looking jade tablet, intricately carved with the images of the dragon, phoenix, white tiger, and the armored tortoise carrying a large snake on its back.

These four divine beings, renowned throughout the entire dimensional universe, were born as divine species. They are immortal upon reaching adulthood and possess immense power. They are the top existence among all races. It was already apparent that something carved based on these living beings was not ordinary.

"This is a token of the Four Divine Beings. With this item, one can enter the 'Four Divine Academy' upon reaching the Pang Gu Supercontinent!"
