Chapter 646: Chapter 506: Sale and Relaxation

For a moment, the winds rise and clouds surge between heaven and earth.

In Western Iraq, Marona and Malonas, these two Ninth Tier and Tenth Layer powerhouses, unexpectedly became targets of many hunts.

Even powerful deities like Magaras, Xibo, Ying Qing, and Xu Changsheng personally took action to capture them.

The era was thoroughly ignited.

In just two or three days, Marona and Malonas were disheveled and thrown in front of the Merchant Guild’s headquarters.

The ones who caught them were Magaras and Xibo.

Their powers were abolished, and delivered to the headquarters, these two knelt and kowtowed repeatedly, pleading for mercy,

"We were momentarily bewitched, we were wrong, we truly were wrong!"

How could the God of Merchants tolerate them, instructing the guards beside him, "Kill them, hang them outside as a warning to those harboring ill intentions."

"Yes!"

Soon, the two bodies were hung on the streets outside the headquarters.

This caused many to fall into silence, silently acknowledging that the God of Merchants was truly not to be trifled with.

Previously, the Longevity God, God, owed favors to the other side.

Now, even these newly rising strong deities like the God of Faith and the God of Time were willing to forge friendships with the God of Merchants.

Who could provoke this?

If you provoke this one merchant, countless others will use you as leverage.

Many mortals, upon witnessing this scene, became secretly vigilant, instantly listing the God of Merchants as one of the deities not to be provoked.

These two robbers were merely a minor episode.

But it ultimately deterred the simmering undercurrents on the eve of the auction.

Soon, the sales event began.

The God of Merchants did not appear in person, instead, a beautiful and enchanting host presided over everything.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome!"

"Today, we are not selling other products, only nine Divine Objects."

Then, nine Divine Objects were placed before everyone’s eyes.

Amid the crowd’s puzzlement, the host smiled, "These nine are numeral series Divine Objects, each controlling one of the Cosmos’s parameters from 1 to 9."

"Moreover, they complement each other, capable of forming nine unique numeral divine civilizations."

Upon hearing these words, many powerful families were incredibly tempted.

Especially the hidden third generation Emperor of the Crystal Country, who was extremely excited.

If they acquired a Divine Object, which could lead to a new race civilization, then their Crystal Country’s power would surely increase significantly!

After reading the description, the host even personally opened the display case and took out a Divine Object for demonstration.

"She’s taken it out!"

Gazing at the Divine Object out of its case, many eyes instantly became fervently eager, and seizing it now could surely land it in one’s hand.

But it was just heated gazes nothing more.

No one dared to make a move, anyone who acted now would surely be attacked by the crowd and be blacklisted by the God of Merchants.

Under the crowd’s watchful eyes.

This host demonstrated the Divine Object, only to see a surrounding area form a law transformation... various parameters were forcibly twisted.

"Is this some kind of domain-like area?"

"Twisting the cosmic numbers?"

"Hmm, it seems very discordant, not in line with the laws of nature."

"Yes, if he ceases supplying Divine Power, the numbers will surely collapse and revert to their original state."

Just a few glances and everyone understood the strength of this Divine Object.

It was indeed a domain-type Divine Object, capable of modifying nearby parameters.

If it spreads, this Divine Object’s domain could significantly expand, possibly even to the extent of encompassing a universe’s area!

Either way, its potential is not small!

The host smiled and revealed a shocking point, "Ladies and gentlemen, as you have seen, in today’s era, longevity is a problem for all beings."

"Even the God of Faith cannot extend life significantly!"

As these words fell, everyone looked towards the personally descended God of Faith.

Xibo did not mind, "Indeed, a hundred years is the limit for mortals, I cannot intervene for longer lifespans."

He is the Death God, yet his Death Divine Object is incomplete.

From 100 seconds extending to 90 years was already quite exaggerated.

Moreover, the longer the lifespan adjustment, the more the consumption, Xibo would not spend a great deal maintaining it for the sake of extending others’ lives slightly.

So, an average lifespan of 90 years is just right.

Xibo displayed a hint of surprise, "Your Excellency mentioned this, could it possibly be that..."

"Indeed!"

The host beamed, "The God of Merchants, feeling the imperfection of heaven and earth, hence presented this Divine Object!"

"Lifespan is also a kind of number, theoretically modifiable, making it a potential means to extend life!"

The crowd’s gaze instantly became even more fervent.

Among the Divine Spirits, there are quite a few Divine Objects that can extend lifespan.

For instance, the God of Time, who constantly saves and reloads, can modify their lifespan limit.

For example, the Longevity God, who directly attains immortality.

But only these two Divine Objects possess the power to escape death.

Now, a third Divine Object has appeared before us, how could they not be excited?

The future is an era of fighting for lifespan!

Even Xibo’s eyes burned with enthusiasm:

"These Divine Objects are of great use to me! My Three Thousand Mortal Cosmos suffers from population loss because I cannot solve the lifespan problem, leading many to flee to the Immortal Realm!"

"If I obtain this Divine Object, the Human World will also have Longevity Seekers, immortal with the heavens and earth, and I could attract talent to pledge allegiance to me."

Not only Xibo realized the potential of this Divine Object to create a brand new massive force, but others did as well.

"Enough talking! The rest, we’ll take back and slowly unearth!"

"Exactly! Any Divine Spirit, their characteristics must be kept secret to fully exert their might, and your introduction damages customer interests, decreasing the value of your product!"

"Yes, by introducing the effects of this Divine Object, you’ve laid it bare, reducing its value!"

The audience below was in an uproar, clearly intending to interrupt the introduction.

Seeing the heated atmosphere, the host didn’t delay further, "Since everyone doesn’t want more introduction, I’ll get to the point, auction!"

"Firstly, to auction a Divine Object, you naturally need to present sufficient assets!"

"But I believe no one here lacks money, so we’re adding an extra criterion, mathematics!"

The audience hesitated for a few seconds.

Mathematics?

"Ladies and gentlemen, here’s a problem below, which will eliminate the first batch of those who don’t meet the criteria."

The host smiled slightly, "Of course, you all have the urgency to seek immediate assistance, calling in genius mathematicians!"

Thus began a week-long trial of assessment.

In the shadows.

The God of Merchants silently watched the meeting, opting not to personally host it.

After all, there was no need to take the spotlight; for him, selling the Divine Object was sufficient.

No matter which of the nine forces it ended up with, they would start researching this series of mathematical Divine Objects, creating all sorts of innovations.

And so, time passed. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Liu Jun didn’t even bother with those mathematical problems, but had a good night’s sleep.

When he awoke, the entire sale was over, with countless guards clearing the scene.

Beyond the auction, chaos reigned, hinting at a great battle having taken place.

The God of Merchants awoke from his dream with a sense of relaxation and called in the host, "What’s the situation?"

"The final holders are Xibo, Ma, the Crystal Country, Ying Qing... and five other forces."

"We stipulated only one entry per force, but the other five forces might be alias forces under these few Divines, disguised to participate."

"We do not know which force acquired how many Divine Objects."

The God of Merchants was not surprised, having intended to let things unfold, "We’ll find out over time who obtained what and how many."

The host also marveled at the God of Merchants’ calmness, "After the sale, they fought among themselves, ambushing each other, but they restrained themselves, retreating while fighting, battling all the way out."

"As for who ultimately obtained them, we don’t have the means to find out."

The current mortals are quite formidable too.

With Ninth Tier, Ninth Layer beings taking hold of things, each covering a 10% domain, ten joining forces to dominate a cosmos and fiercely defend it.

Xibo might not be able to do much to them in a short time.

Because Xibo’s attack method requires a charged strike!

Though it no longer requires the collection of the power of all beings to slowly charge an attack.

But it still needs to accumulate head fees through bankbooks, layer by layer, before launching an offensive.

Thus, despite possessing Death Divine Power, Xibo’s offensive power hasn’t remarkably increased.

"Let them fight it out."

Liu Jun chuckled softly.

The current era was very comfortable for Liu Jun.

Because he had already passed the twelve trials, having eliminated all external foes.

Now.

No matter how they fought, it was considered an internal conflict.

With no external enemies, Liu Jun himself finally relaxed, feeling that the years were peaceful.

Having painstakingly fought through the cosmos’ twelve trials and this batch of old men, it’s finally over, isn’t it time I enjoyed myself a bit?

At this moment, Liu Jun sat in a rocking chair in the garden, enjoying the sunlight and breeze,

"Of course, I mustn’t get complacent; Ninth Tier, Ninth Layer is already a bit monstrous, who knows what Ninth Tier, Tenth Layer is?"

Moreover, is there a realm beyond the Ninth Tier?

Also, the Immortal Realm is quite peculiar, its rules annihilated, and this blank cosmos actually displays strong plasticity?

Liu Jun rocked in his chair, "It’d be fine; just let them slowly fight it out, and as they do, my Mushroom Garden will also flourish better."
