Starting with SSS-rank talent, I contracted the Forbidden Ferocity.

[The Second Life Lamp.]

When the lamp of fate, sealed with layers of copper coins, was raised, the entire market for buying and selling fates fell silent.

There is no name on the lamp.

There was only one blank seat stamp.

That seat seal had a deeper and colder pattern than the third seat coin.

Even with only a corner of it showing, Shen Ye's black-gold life lamp swayed slightly.

It's not fear.

It was momentarily suppressed by a higher-level rule.

A system warning popped up.

[The afterimage of the second Life Lamp has been detected.]

[Status: Dormant and Sealed.]

[Warning: If the seal is broken, the second seat may awaken ahead of schedule.]

[Warning: The second seat is more desirable than the third seat.]

Qian Wuming looked at Shen Ye.

"Aren't you trying to kill me?"

"Come."

"Slay me."

"I die, the Second Seat awakens."

"When it wakes up, the first person it looks for is you."

Gui Xu's three Guimen seals on his forehead were glowing, and his voice was cold:

"Terrifying."

Longyuan clenched his fist.

"What kind of skill is it to scare people by using others?"

Qian Wuming said calmly:

"It takes skill to scare you away."

Shen Ye looked at the second life lamp but did not draw his sword.

he asks:

"Is this lamp yours?"

Qian Wuming said:

"no."

"Is that a bet?"

"no."

"Is that your lucky light?"

Qian Wuming remained silent for a moment.

Shen Ye smiled.

"It's neither your life nor a gamble."

"Why are you taking this out?"

Qian Wuming's voice turned cold:

"It is the consequence."

"If you kill me, you'll face the consequences."

Shen Ye raised his hand and opened the Night King's Book.

The "Same Betting, Same Light" message is activated.

[Betting on life requires understanding destiny] Lights up.

[The real lampstand must not be used as a substitute for a lamp] Lights up.

Subsequently, the new certificates were issued one by one.

External lights cannot guarantee your lifespan.

[His destiny is like a lamp, not something to be gambled on.]

[The threat of consequences does not constitute a condition for victory or defeat.]

boom!

The copper coin seal on the outer layer of the second life lamp suddenly trembled.

The dim light on Qian Wuming's chest also flickered.

Shen Ye looked up.

"You want to put the second seat in the real light fixture."

"Have you asked it?"

Qian Wuming said coldly:

"It remains asleep; how should we respond?"

Shen Ye said:

"Then we absolutely cannot get involved in it."

The Night King's Classics are revisited.

[No Signing Without Authorization] is highlighted.

[No guarantee without a signature] is highlighted.

[Certificate not guarantee] lights up.

The black and gold light pressed down on the second life lamp.

[Those who are asleep cannot vouch for them.]

An unawakened lamp cannot bear the price of a third seat.

The death of the third seat holder cannot be used as a reason for the second seat holder's entry into the league.

boom!

The blank seat mark on the second seat lamp was pressed back into the copper coin seal.

But Qian Wuming didn't panic.

Instead, it laughed.

"You think I let it protect me?"

"No."

"I only bought it once to wake up."

Shen Ye's eyes narrowed slightly.

Qian Wuming raised his hand.

Below the second life lamp, an extremely thin ticket for buying life appeared.

The ticket reads:

[Price already paid.]

[Condition: The third seat holder is killed.]

[Execution: Second Seat Awakens.]

[Target: Night King Shen Ye.]

The system warning suddenly turned red.

[A discounted ticket has been detected.]

This ticket is not a life-saving ticket.

[Type: Triggered awakening transaction.]

If the third life lamp goes out, the sealed life lamp of the second life lamp will be activated.

Qian Wuming's voice was low and deep:

"I did not let it die in my place."

"I simply bought it in advance to wake it up."

"Shen Ye."

"If you kill me."

"The second seat will surely awaken."

Shen Ye looked at the price-sensitive ticket.

"Buy a wake-up call?"

Qian Wuming said:

"good."

"Life can be bought."

"You can buy it even when you're awake."

Shen Ye said:

"It's still the same problem."

Who sold it?

Qian Wuming's eyes turned cold.

Shen Ye took a step forward.

"Did you sell the second seat yourself?"

Qian Wuming did not answer.

"It remains asleep."

"You just said it yourself."

"Something that is asleep and cannot be awakened."

"How do I sell myself?"

The Night King's Classics turned abruptly.

[The Sleeper Does Not Guarantee] lights up.

[No Signing Without Authorization] is highlighted.

The new certificate has been issued.

[One should not sell enlightenment to those who are not yet awake.]

[No one may sell the product on your behalf.]

[No buyers were found at the listed price; the transaction failed.]

The price of the tickets fluctuated violently.

The words "Price Paid" on the ticket have a crack.

Qian Wuming's expression changed for the first time.

"Shen Ye!"

Shen Ye ignored it.

"Dust of Calamity".

Jie Chen opened the Heavenly Punishment Eye.

A gray-white lightning bolt shone on the back of the ticket.

Sure enough, the fourth seat holder was found to have been robbed behind the ticket.

Shen Ye's eyes turned cold.

"Was the fourth seat sold?"

Qian Wuming remained silent.

Shen Ye smiled.

"A thief, selling the second seat, wakes up."

"Someone who's trying to sell their life is trying to scare me."

"You people, the higher you go, the more shameless you become."

Guixu took a step out.

The three Returning Gate Seals lit up simultaneously.

It bit into the theft mark on the back of the ticket.

Click!

The theft mark is broken.

The fourth seat's soft laughter came from a great distance:

"The Night King"

"You dare to dismantle this?"

Shen Ye looked up.

"You're next."

The Night King's nameplate was enveloped in a black and gold light.

[This product is not for sale.]

[Those who steal and awaken must not be awakened.]

The death of the third seat holder does not trigger an illegal wake-up call.

boom!

The ticket was blown to pieces on the spot.

The copper coin seal outside the second life lamp was closed again.

The blank seat mark sank deep into the lamp wick, never to be seen again.

A system notification sounded.

[Break the price gouging.]

[A new license has been established: those who are not awake may not sell what is awake.]

[New license established: Stolen items may not be sold.]

[The trigger for the second seat's life lamp awakening has been deactivated.]

[Captured: Gray ticket with a high price.]

[The resolution of the fourth seat's true name remnant has been improved.]

Current resolution: 52%.

The dim light on Qian Wuming's chest suddenly went out.

The last threat has been eliminated.

In the end, it only had its own life left.

Shen Ye raised his sword.

"Now."

"Continue with the real light game."

Qian Wuming stared intently at him.

"You really dare to kill me?"

Shen Ye said:

"You're only asking now?"

The black gold life lamp suddenly shone brightly.

The five beasts moved at the same time.

Night Feather Black Sun Netherfire pressed down on the coin patterns on the outer layer of the third seat's dark lamp.

The Netherworld locked away the lamp's shadow, preventing it from being moved or having its life changed.

Long Yuan stepped onto the real lamp stand and smashed the last ring of copper coin railings with his fists.

The Heavenly Punishment of Calamity and the Eye of Calamity pinned down Qian Wuming's life-bound lamp wick.

Guixu opened its mouth and bit the last coin for survival on the edge of the dim light.

Click!

The money meant to save my life was broken.

Qian Wuming's natal lamp was completely exposed.

The lights were pitifully dim.

Shen Ye brought his sword down.

Qian Wuming shrieked:

"I can buy your future life!"

Shen Ye's voice was calm:

"The future is yet to come, therefore it cannot be sold."

The sword's edge pressed down.

"I can buy your death!"

"Death has not yet arrived, so a price cannot be made."

"I can bet on your win or loss!"

"Victory or defeat is determined by battle, not by betting."

The pages of the Night King's Codex lit up one by one.

The future is yet to come; this product is not for sale.

[Illegal price tags lead to no debt.]

What we gain is through war, not through gifts.

No bets can be raised once the bet is placed.

[Once the lamp is installed, any subsequent purchases are invalid.]

All the price tags were completely destroyed.

The black and gold sword light pierced through the dim light.

puff.

The lamp on Qian Wuming's chest went out.

The entire market for life-saving drugs suddenly went dark.

On the lampstand, the ancient voice of judgment resounded.

[The real light game is over.]

[Winner: Night King Shen Ye.]

[The loser: Third seat, the life buyer, the life market lord, the redeemer of the dead, the lamplighter of a thousand prices, money without life.]

[The third section of the Guiming Road leads back to Guixu.]

The loser's life belongs to the winner.

Qian Wuming stood frozen in place.

It looked down at the extinguished light on its chest.

hoarse voice:

"My life..."

Shen Ye walked up to it.

"It's mine."

The Night King's Classic unfolds.

The death certificate, the real lamp certificate, and the gray ticket all lit up at the same time.

Qian Wuming's real name was gradually revealed.

[Third Seat: Buyer of Life, Market Master of Life, Merchant Who Redeems the Dead, Lighting the Lamp for a Fortune, Money Without Life]

The system is beeping wildly.

[Received: Third seat with incomplete full name.]

[Obtained: Core Fragment of the Life-Saving Market.]

[Obtain: The remaining seal of the true lampstand. 】

[Obtained: Dead Price Shell.]

[Received: Third Vacant Seat Seal.]

[Note: Gaining a name does not guarantee acceptance of a seat; revoking one's name does not grant citizenship.]

The seal for the third vacant seat has been sealed.

Deep within the Night King's Codex, the ninth, eighth, seventh, and sixth empty seals simultaneously lit up.

Then, the fifth empty space stamp was placed.

Third seat.

Five empty seals were sealed side by side.

Like five nails that have been pulled out.

The market for buying life is beginning to collapse.

One by one, the copper coin lamps went out.

The auction table cracked.

The pale streets turned to ashes.

Gui Xu stood beside Shen Ye, the three Gui Men seals on his forehead completely merged into one.

A system notification sounded.

[The three sections of the Guixu Guiming Road are complete.]

[The Return to Ruins stage is complete and the name has been assigned.]

[Gained Ability: Never Lose Your Way Home.]

[Conditions for opening the Path of Returning Beasts to Court have been met.]

[The fragment of the unknown beast's name card is resonating.]

The fragment of an unknown beast's name card automatically appeared in Shen Ye's palm.

crown.

door.

Hitomi.

claw.

Wedge ring.

Balance.

fire.

court.

road.

Return.

All ten characters light up simultaneously.

The next moment, the eleventh stroke slowly appeared.

It was a lamp.

[The eleventh stroke of the unidentified beast's name fragment reveals: Lamp.]

[The analysis level of the Beast Pact Fire Seed has been increased.]

Current resolution: 68%.

Shen Ye glanced down at it.

Just a few more strokes to go.

Just before the life-buying market completely collapsed, Qian Wuming's mutilated body suddenly raised his head.

Its voice was fading away, but it carried a strange laugh.

"The Night King..."

"You kill me."

"The second seat will not wake up."

"But the first seat will know."

Shen Ye's eyes turned cold.

Qian Wuming's mangled body turned to ashes.

A tiny copper coin floated out from the ashes.

The copper coin does not have the word "buy" on it.

There is no character for "fate".

There is only one black number.

【One】

A system warning suddenly sounded.

[The first focus of attention has been detected.]

[Note: Information regarding the death of the third seat has been received by the first seat.]

[Warning: The First Seat is locating the host.]

Above the Wuguiting warehouse, a very soft sound of coins falling suddenly rang out.

Ding.

It's like someone casually tossed a copper coin down from a great distance.

then.

All the roads in the Wuguiting Warehouse simultaneously curved towards Shen Ye's feet.

Gui Xu's forehead seal suddenly lit up.

It whispered:

"There's someone there."

"On the road to buying us."
