All Heavens: Originating from Swallowing the Stars

"Guess if the Lord of Time participated in the bidding for this beast egg?" The Lord of Yousha sat lazily on his throne, one hand supporting his chin, looking at the giant egg with a playful gaze and a slight smile.

"Probably. This thing, when consumed and refined, increases the affinity with the laws of time, but also increases the difficulty of breaking through to immortality. I wonder if Brother Luo has the courage to do so," Li Tuo said softly.

Another problem is that he doesn't know if Luo has the funds.

The egg of this Destroyer Beast is likely just a source of combat power for an Immortal for a period of time. It is very valuable, with past transaction prices around four million Chaos Units. Luo Zhen might not be able to come up with that amount of money.

.........

"Congratulations to customer VY145236 for successfully purchasing this Destroyer Beast egg!"

As Li Tuo had expected, the egg of the Destroyer Beast was eventually bought by a client for 414 million Chaos Units, which was equivalent to the entire net worth of a mid-level military lord immortal. In the eyes of many, this was a very reasonable price.

If we could actually cultivate an immortal-level cosmic behemoth, that would be a huge win.

These are top-tier, immortal-level star beasts with ten times the genetic level; becoming a marquis would be no challenge for them at all.

"I wonder what fate awaits this beast egg!" Li Tuo leaned back on his throne, watching the enormous beast egg phantom disappear below, and uttered a few words.

The Starry Sky Beast Egg can help certain Eternal and Cosmic level beings defy fate and change their destiny. It can give a Realm Lord like the Time Realm Lord a chance to strive, a chance to transcend the ordinary and leap to the heavens.

In the original story, Luo had no experience of possessing a star beast. Li Tuo didn't know whether the world lord couldn't afford it or was unwilling to buy it, but since it was the other party's choice, Li Tuo wouldn't say anything more.

"It's highly likely it'll be used for possession. The immortal gods are very shrewd. If the Destruction Beast inside can help a human genius rise to prominence, or even become an immortal god, then it's definitely a win."

The Lord of Yousha's gaze towards the Destroyer Beast's egg showed little emotion. Upon hearing this, he said...

"Within our human community, 'body-snatching resources' are extremely precious, and even among human geniuses, cosmic behemoths are highly sought after."

"I understand," Li Tuo said, feigning surprise.

If the primordial seed deep within his true spirit had not awakened, Li Tuo would likely have sought to possess a special life form at the realm lord stage. However, his genetic level has already undergone a transformation, so he no longer needs to possess a special life form. He only needs to find a sufficiently excellent cell tissue to conceive an avatar.

"Congratulations to this customer on purchasing this colossal star beast of peak lineage! We wish this beast egg will provide you with ample value!"

The laughter of the Lord of the Wind Chaser Army echoed throughout the auction hall. This immortal god's gaze swept over the many powerful figures seated on their thrones, and his voice rose, becoming like the roar of a hurricane.

"Therefore, the auction for the Qianwu Middle School of this realm shall officially begin!"

"The first batch of auction items are E9-class spaceships, from the K12 star sector of the Machine Race, which is recognized throughout the universe as the most technologically advanced. Whether it's the propulsion system, detection and counter-detection system, burst and endurance capabilities, or weapon and defense modules, they are the best E-class spaceships known in the universe!"

As the Lord of the Wind Army waved his hand, a dark silver metal spaceship appeared on the large screen beside him. The spaceship had a flawless streamlined shape, and its whole body was seamless, with no trace of assembly on the metal surface.

Its style is cold, concise, and angular, with every inch of the body exuding a strong sense of technology. Every detail has been polished to perfection, and every bit of energy consumption has been calculated with unparalleled precision.

"E9-class Mech Race spaceships, 138 in total, starting bid 850 Chaos Units, each bid must be a multiple of 1 Chaos Unit, the 138 highest bidders will win them!"

"860 Mixed Units!"

"880 Mixed Units!"

"885 Mixed Units!"

……

The price kept rising, and even Li Tuo was amazed. This E9-class spaceship of the Mechanical Race was much stronger than the E9-class spaceship he usually used. In this respect, the Mechanical Race always had a clear advantage over other top races.

"Truly a work of art in the name of war!"

He offered a price arbitrarily. The mechanical race had a high overall level of technology, and even ordinary immortals could use this E9-class spaceship.

"Why would you buy this? It's just a temporary item. I could smash this kind of mechanical toy with one punch. Its collectible value far outweighs its practical value. It's fine to collect it to show off, but forget about using it in actual combat." The Lord of Yousha glanced at Li Tuo, not caring about the small amount of money, and just shook his head.

"906 Mixed Units!"

"922 Mixed Units!"

"996 Mixed Units!"

"I'm just a first-level Realm Lord, using an F-class spaceship would be too conspicuous."

Li Tuo kept raising the price. In his eyes, this thing was indeed nothing more than a war toy, but the mechanical race's spaceship had high technological value. He was still a minor first-level world lord, and such a spaceship could help him avoid a lot of trouble.

The role of E9-class top-tier mechanical race spaceships is ambiguous. Impoverished immortal gods buy them to actually pilot them to extraterrestrial battlefields, but for immortal military lords with some assets, these things are often bought for collection or given to confidants and descendants.

It can only be said that the asset gap between the immortal military leaders is truly exaggerated.

"Alright, E9-class Mech Race spaceship, highest price 1593 Mixed Yuan Units. Congratulations to the next 138 guests who have acquired such a top-tier Mech Race spaceship!"

Amidst the shouts of the Wind Chaser, Li Tuo received a smart key. He was one of the 138 guests who had just successfully purchased the Mechanical Race spaceship, spending 1499 Mixed Yuan Units.

"The second item up for auction is a sapling of the Divine Tree of Nature, originating from a special cosmic secret realm. As you might expect, this is the kind of tree that can bear the fruit of life. If properly cultivated, this sapling of the Divine Tree of Nature will become a renewable resource that continuously produces the fruit of life!"

As the Lord of the Wind Chaser shouted, a sapling with the energy of the primordial law of wood flowing through its entire body appeared before everyone's eyes. This sapling was very weak, but it was visibly absorbing the omnipresent cosmic energy around it, with mysterious patterns flickering on the bud.

"Two saplings of the Natural Sacred Tree, starting bid 4000 Mixed Yuan Units!"

"I must remind all distinguished guests present to carefully understand the cultivation cycle of the Natural Sacred Tree before making a purchase!"

"Auction begins!"

"4090 Mixed Units!"

"4120 Mixed Units!"

"4220 Hunyuan..."

……

Clearly, this sapling of the divine tree was also in high demand, and the auction price rose rapidly at a visible speed, soon exceeding 5000 Chaos Units, and showed no signs of stopping.

Curious, Li Tuo searched for the cultivation cycle of the Natural Divine Tree on his own and was shocked by its exaggerated cultivation cycle.

The seedlings of the Natural Divine Tree require more than 5000 epochs to grow into adults before they can gradually begin to produce Life Fruits, starting from a few and gradually increasing until they are fully mature and can produce Life Fruits stably.

"Teacher, how long does it take to break even after buying these seedlings?" Li Tuo couldn't help but ask.

"Including the cultivation cost, it takes an average of more than 15,000 epochs to fully recoup the investment. I have a few friends who have cultivated this thing. As long as they get through the payback period, the subsequent Life Fruits produced are free money. Moreover, having one or two natural divine trees in the Immortal Holy Land is a very prestigious thing," said the Lord of Yousha Army.

No wonder.

Li Tuo stared at the screen next to the Lord of Su Feng Army. The price of the Natural Divine Tree seedling had reached 6000 Mixed Yuan Units, and the growth rate had gradually slowed down.

He shook his head slightly. This kind of long-term investment is most suitable for immortal gods with limited qualifications, long lifespans, and plenty of free time. It's really unnecessary for him.

"The auction is over. The highest bidder for the Natural Divine Tree sapling, 7492 Chaos Units, has won ownership. Congratulations to both of you!"

The shouts of the Lord of the Wind Resisting Army resounded, drawing Li Tuo's attention back once again.

"The third item up for auction is a specialty of the Soul Refining Secret Realm: the right to participate in the Trial of the Child of Souls. The Soul Refining Secret Realm is one of the top three universe secret realms in our Qianwu Universe, producing a large number of unique items with soul characteristics. The right to participate in the Trial of the Child of Souls is one of the unique trials within this secret realm. It is designed for world lords. If they can complete the trial, their souls will be greatly strengthened."

"Trial of the Soul Child, 140 slots available, starting bid 2000 Chaos Units per slot, ten slots per batch. The auction for the first batch begins now, and the ten highest bidders will receive them!"

On the giant screen, a strange silver-white crystal appeared. The crystal had unusual properties; it looked like a semi-solidified, illusory substance, with swirling soul patterns reflected on it.

"2100 Mixed Units!"

"2150..."

"2190 Hunyuan..."

This trial access, which can enhance one's soul, was clearly very popular, and the price rose steadily and rapidly once the auction began.

"The Trial of the Child of Souls... this thing is still so popular." Li Tuo stroked his chin, watching the price on the big screen rise again and again, and nodded slightly.

The Soul Refining Secret Realm's Soul Trials are considered one of the specialties of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. The state of that Soul Refining Secret Realm is similar to the Blood Luo Continent of the Primordial Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company. It has its own unique and powerful indigenous civilization, which has nurtured many immortal gods and is extremely skilled in the Way of the Soul.

Unfortunately, the Soul Refining Secret Realm is now entirely owned by the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom. It has undergone a massive transformation, and its unique soul trial resources have been fully developed to strengthen the human race.

The Trial of the Child of Souls is one of the special soul training methods in the Soul Refining Secret Realm. Although it is only suitable for powerhouses below the Realm Lord level, the improvement in soul strength and resilience it brings is quite remarkable.

Typically, these are purchased by immortal gods for use by their realm lords. For example, if a realm lord-level mentalist's soul is enhanced, it will not only benefit their combat power but may also effectively increase their probability of becoming immortal to a certain extent.

"After all, the soul is a very important thing. Whether it's a martial artist or a mentalist, no one would complain that their soul is too strong." The Lord of Yousha sat lazily to the side, looking completely unconcerned.

She was an extremely senior immortal deity, and apart from Li Tuo, she didn't have any other realm lords worth investing in. These appetizers didn't interest her at all. She just watched the numbers below fluctuate, her slender eyebrows slightly narrowed.

"Unfortunately, this piece of junk will need at least ten thousand years to undergo trials."

Li Tuo sighed softly. He had been to the Soul Refining Secret Realm during his time as a Domain Lord. The unique laws and characteristics of that secret realm were indeed very suitable for cultivating the soul. The Trial of the Child of Souls would definitely have some effect on Li Tuo.

Unfortunately, that kind of trial would take 10,000 years to even begin, and Li Tuo felt that he couldn't waste his precious 10,000 years like that.

The master and apprentice watched silently as the first batch of Soul Child Trial privileges were acquired by someone at the highest price of 3260 Mixed Yuan Units per item.

Then came the second batch, the third batch, the fourth batch...

As Li Tuo idly fiddled with the armrest of his throne, the auction for the fourteenth batch of Soul Child Trial privileges was completed. This unique trial might be enough to change the fate of many Realm Lords.

"The fourth item up for auction is a contract for the mining and usage rights of a cosmic secret realm spanning 4 epochs. This is a fragment of a secret realm discovered 300 years ago, certified by the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance. It is a large fragment of a cosmic secret realm that was destroyed by a great being of our human race billions of epochs ago. The fragment is 14.29 light-years in diameter, and over 97% of its terrain consists of ice fields, icebergs, and icy seas. It remains unexploited and is a virgin territory of considerable value!"

"Kubaqu Realm Fragment Management Contract, valid for 10 Eras, starting bid 7600 Chaos Units!"

The fourth item displayed by the Lord of the Wind Chaser Army surprised Li Tuo. It was a long-term contract spanning 100,000 epochs. Although the contract target was only a fragment of a secret realm, it was a virgin land of considerable size and therefore of great value.

"Mining contract? There are actually people selling this kind of thing?" Li Tuo looked at the vast secret realm in the image. Against the backdrop of the polar ice field, a large group of ice deer-like creatures were running. They were a unique kind of half-energy, half-flesh life form. There was no trace of mining in the entire secret realm.

"Cash out, this kind of business that offers one-time cash out of the mining rights for secret realm fragments can usually allow the buyer to earn more than 40%. However, in return, for such a large secret realm, the buyer also needs to spend a lot of time to fully explore and mine it." The Lord of Yousha Army was obviously very familiar with this kind of business and said.

"7860 Mixed Units!"

"7940 Mixed Units!"

"7990..."

As the Lord of Yousha had predicted, the mining rights for the Kubaqu Secret Realm fragments were quite sought after. Within twenty minutes, the price exceeded 1 Hunyuan Units and continued to rise at a slow but steady pace.

Unfortunately, Li Tuo had no intention of buying it. He was too young and did not have the power to mine such a fragment of a secret realm that was more than ten light-years away. The Lord of Yousha, on the other hand, seemed very interested and kept raising the price to compete for the right to acquire the fragment.

"Congratulations to customer number DI586917 for successfully purchasing the mining rights to the Kubaqu Secret Realm Fragment. May this secret realm bring you ample profits!"

Ultimately, the purchase rights for the Kubaqu Secret Realm Fragment were sold for 11440 Mixed Yuan Units. According to the Lord of Yousha Army, the surveying, planning, and mining of such a large independent space with a diameter of more than 10 light-years would take a considerable amount of time.

"Teacher, you..."

Li Tuo was surprised. The number mentioned by the Lord of Su Feng Army just happened to belong to the Lord of You Sha Army. He looked at his teacher and did not expect her to act so decisively.

"After all, it's a fragment of a large secret realm. My holy lands also need to support a lot of people, so I need to find them some work to do and expand the foundation of the holy lands," said the Lord of Yousha casually.

She is a veteran immortal who has been rooted in the Liulan Empire for over ten thousand epochs, and is fully capable of taking on the task of mining such a secret realm. Such a vast secret realm can bring considerable wealth.

"The fifth item up for auction is a sixth-tier Force weapon, the Star Giant Blade, forged from ultra-high-strength metal and biological materials. Its laws are inscribed by a professional team of immortal gods. It is covered by a 100-epoch warranty against minor damage. Usage requires recognition by the laws of the origin of fire. Starting bid: 3300 Chaos Units!"

……

As Li Tuo watched the auction items being displayed one by one, he showed no impatience. The treasures at a mid-level auction were definitely good things, and even if he didn't need them, he was happy to appreciate them at his leisure.
