Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

King Xuzhen directly exposed Huyan Bo's true intentions.

Hu Yanbo, on the other side, felt a sense of relief, and then realized that he could not hide from such an existence after all.

"Senior, you are wise! I came to you in a hurry because I have another matter I would like to ask for your help with."

He got straight to the point, his tone direct: "I want to enter the initial universe!" Hu Yanbo didn't beat around the bush at all.

"The laws governing that place are clearly visible, greatly aiding in comprehension! More importantly, the Chaos Stele is said to be a guiding light left behind by a great human being, saving me from countless detours!"

"I've tried the normal route."

Hu Yanbo showed a hint of helplessness on his face and continued.

"I've searched through all the available records of mid-level auctions for the next few hundred years, and there isn't a single spot for a titled 'Marquis'!"

"As for the higher-level high-end auctions, we don't even know when they will be held, and there is absolutely no hope."

King Xuzhen listened quietly, his face showing no surprise. As a Marquis-level Immortal, it was perfectly normal for Huyan Bo to know the value of the Primordial Universe and the Chaos Stele.

He raised an eyebrow slightly and asked calmly, "So you want to get an internal spot through me? That's certainly a feasible idea. Given my status and position in the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, it wouldn't be too difficult for me to apply for a spot for you within the rules."

As a mid-to-high-level member of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, in charge of the elite training program in a certain area of ​​the human territory, he has the authority to apply for a quota of immortality-level enlightenment within a certain period of time!

but....

"But—what about the money?" King Xuzhen suddenly changed the subject.

Applying for a spot isn't free either. To enjoy the resources of Chaos City, unless specially approved by higher-ups, everyone needs to pay a price to get in.

He, the True King, was only in the middle to upper ranks, not the upper ranks, and there was a price to pay for applying for others' applications.

"I can help you apply for a spot, but you'll have to pay the price yourself!"

"If any spots become available at the auction, and the competition is fierce, you should have a good idea of ​​the final price – hundreds of millions are common!"

"The internal price might be discounted, but it won't be much cheaper!"

King Xuzhen quietly watched Huyan Bo, his mind racing with calculations.

He achieved the title of Marquis after 60 million years and had immortal servants under his command, which shows he has accumulated some wealth, but his foundation is definitely not deep!

Based on intelligence estimates, the maximum asset value is at most tens of millions of Hunyuan.

This also includes fixed assets.

Even if you could get a loan from the First Bank of the Universe or the Galaxy Bank of the Universe, their loan approval process is extremely rigorous!

How high can the credit limit be for someone who has just broken through to the initial stage of the title of Marquis without a powerful background?

Even if the loan is approved, the maximum amount borrowed will be tens of millions of Hunyuan, which is far from enough to cover the quota fee.

Upon hearing this, Hu Yanbo smiled, his tone carrying a hint of relief at surviving a close call: "Thanks to your blessing, senior, after my soul breakthrough some time ago, I unexpectedly obtained some opportunities while adventuring in the universe. Converting these opportunities into Primordial Chaos Units should be enough to cover the cost of the registration!"

"Oh? A small stroke of luck?" King Xuzhen paused slightly, then asked with interest, "Worth a few hundred million Chaos Units?"

"It's enough," Hu Yanbo replied succinctly.

Hearing Hu Yanbo's reply, King Xuzhen was truly shocked once again!

What kind of "trivial opportunity" could cause a newly appointed Marquis to see their assets increase by hundreds of millions or even more within just a few days?!

Even a peak-level King-rank expert like him couldn't help but exclaim, "What incredible luck!"

The universe is so vast that luck is truly irrational!

However, the True King of the Void did not have any other thoughts about this. For a powerhouse of his level, what truly moved him were special genetic treasures, powerful inheritances, or rare encounters in the universe.

Mixed unit?

Even billions couldn't buy him any treasures that could significantly boost his strength.

Moreover, King Xuzhen truly had high hopes for Huyan Bo's talent and potential.

As his thoughts raced, the admiration in his eyes deepened when he looked at Huyan Bo.

This lone wolf, lacking a powerful mentor, possesses astonishing courage, talent, and luck; his future achievements will certainly not stop at the level of a marquis.

Without further hesitation, King Xuzhen said directly, "Alright! Since you have sufficient funds, then everything is negotiable. I will immediately arrange for you to apply for a spot for initial universe comprehension. I'll give you a discounted internal price—2 million Chaos Units! Prepare your funds and wait for my notification."

This price sounds exorbitant, but Hu Yanbo knows in his heart that this is the biggest discount that the King of Emptiness can offer.

Because the slots for comprehending the initial universe are never sold to the person who truly needs to enter and comprehend it.

The real buyers of these spots are mostly the families or forces behind powerful entities.

Think about it, no matter how powerful a genius at the realm lord level is, how much wealth can he have?

Even top-tier realm lords like Luo, the Time Realm Lord, who managed to escape from the hands of immortals, only possessed a maximum of a few thousand Chaos Units in their entire fortune.

However, a single Realm Lord-level spot can easily fetch tens of thousands of Mixed Yuan Units at an auction!

This price is so high that even an ordinary Immortal Lord might not be able to afford it.

As for why it's so expensive?

The fundamental reason is that after a realm lord enters the initial universe, the probability of breaking through to become an immortal god will increase dramatically under the guidance of the Chaos Stele and the blessing of a clear law environment!

Spending tens of thousands of Hunyuan to buy the opportunity to "become a god" is an extremely worthwhile deal for those marquis-level forces who yearn for their families to continuously produce immortal gods!

In comparison, while the price of a Marquis-level position is also high, it has not skyrocketed to thousands of times the user's worth as much as the price of a Realm Lord position.

The reason is that the cost-effectiveness is much worse. The reason why the immortals who are enfeoffed enter the initial universe is mainly to comprehend the laws more efficiently, consolidate their realm, or find a suitable path of the Chaos Monument.

There will certainly be an effect; the speed of comprehending the laws will be accelerated, but it is impossible to produce a revolutionary qualitative change like a realm lord breaking through to immortality.

Many immortals who go in to comprehend the secrets do make progress after they come out, but they don't achieve a qualitative change. Their strength will be a little stronger, but not by much.

The effect is far less obvious and "valuable" than that of a Realm Lord breaking through to Immortality, so the price of a Marquis-level spot is not as exaggerated as that of a Realm Lord spot.

"Alright, since you've thought it through and have enough funds, I'll go and apply for this spot for you right away," King Xuzhen nodded.

"Thank you, senior!" Hu Yanbo bowed respectfully, a surge of excitement welling up inside him.

He hadn't expected things to go so smoothly; the True King had agreed to help so readily.

"Go, and prepare well." King Xuzhen watched Huyan Bo's respectful retreat, a meaningful look flashing in his eyes.

He thought to himself, "This kid is quite interesting. He rose from a military lord to a marquis in just sixty million years and even mastered the seventh level of the Void Tower... Maybe he really will become a king one day!"
