Chapter215-Divine Crystal
Not long after, a large auction was going to be held within the Trading Guild.
Daniel was quite interested.
It was his first time hearing about an auction in the God Realm.
He wondered what kind of interesting items might appear in an auction in the God Realm.
Daniel began to browse through the textual descriptions of the auction items.
One item, in particular, caught his attention.
According to the description, it was an item left behind by a divine dynasty at its peak in the God Realm.
And the description was quite long.
Daniel could sense that this divine dynasty was likely very famous.
Moreover, many of its items and traces still existed in the God Realm to this day.
This made Daniel very curious and excited about this item.
What could it be, something left behind by a divine dynasty?
Soon after, Daniel left his room.
Although the auction was about to start soon, there was no need for him to sit in the room all the time.
According to the reception staff’s introduction,
the token he held was of quite a high rank and provided him with many services.
While the Trading Guild was primarily a trading organization, in reality, it was more like a large service center.
There were various entertainment and recreational facilities.
So Daniel decided to experience them.
He wasn’t in a hurry, just looking to relax.
But in the room, the three God Sovereigns were getting anxious.
“What is this guy Daniel doing?”
“He seemed to be heading for the auction earlier, but now he’s just eating, drinking, and even took a dip in the hot spring…”
This behavior puzzled the three.
Wasn’t he supposed to be the representative of the 5 Elements God King?
Isn’t he worried about missing a deal?
Won’t the 5 Elements God King be angry with him?
“Maybe we should just grab Daniel now and force him to hand over the 5 Elements God King!”
“Otherwise, who knows how long this guy will keep messing around here.”
One of them suggested.
“Yes! I agree! We’ve been waiting here for so long, and this guy is just acting like it’s no big deal! As expected, he’s the representative of the 5 Elements God King!”
“The calamity could happen at any moment. We don’t have much time to waste with this guy!”
“If we don’t get to the relics soon and acquire that item, our chances of becoming a God King will be indefinitely delayed…”
“Be careful with your words! If some other God Kings hear this, it could cause trouble! That item might even be beyond the reach of a God King!”
“Alright, I can’t wait any longer! I want to seize Daniel right now!”
“Then let’s wait until the auction ends! After it’s over, we’ll grab him immediately and force him to reveal the 5 Elements God King’s whereabouts! Or force the 5 Elements God King to show himself!”
“…”
The three were scheming in the room, completely unaware that their every word and action had already fallen into Daniel’s ears.
Daniel just smiled at these plans.
However, was there something in the relics that could allow someone to break through to the God King level?
That sounded like a pretty good place to explore.
Although it wouldn’t be of much use to Daniel, since the other party had already set the time for after the auction ended, he decided he would talk to those three afterward.
With that thought, Daniel settled on his plan.
He then returned to his room.
The auction wasn’t held in a large conference hall, nor was there any host.
The Tairo Trading Guild’s auction used an approach that greatly protected personal privacy.
In each person’s room, there was a special device.
When the auction began, each item would be presented in projection form with a text description.
Those wishing to bid could do so directly from their rooms.
The current bid price would be displayed in real-time.
The final winner would have the item transferred to their room via a magic array.
This entire process was designed with one purpose: safety and privacy.
It ensured that every participant in the auction would be completely secure.
Daniel sat in his room, waiting for the auction to start.
Soon after, the first item appeared.
Just by looking at the projection, Daniel could tell that this was likely a Supreme Artifact, though somewhat damaged.
But it could still be used for certain purposes.
There was no aura of rules emanating from it, so Daniel had no intention of bidding.
Instead, he watched the bidding process.
During the bidding, Daniel also experienced the thrill of an auction.
It was just so-so.
After all, this wasn’t the item he was looking for.
It lacked a bit of excitement.
Items like this, broken Supreme Artifacts, were in the minority.
Next came a variety of items, such as spirit fruits and pills.
There were even some unreliable secret information.
It seemed like there was everything for sale.
And astonishingly, everything was bought.
Not a single item went unsold.
In the middle of this, Daniel also bought a few small things.
At this moment, something caught Daniel’s attention.
It was a crystal with a powerful aura.
The energy contained within it was far greater than that of a divine stone.
“This is… a divine crystal?”
Daniel thought to himself.
He still had many divine crystals in his personal space.
He had been referring to them as mana stones or mana crystals.
The crystals in front of him must be divine crystals!
He had many of them stored in his personal space—so many that he had lost count. Find more to read at empire
He had initially thought they were just high-level currency, like divine stones.
But now, seeing them at this auction…
It seemed divine crystals weren’t being used as currency at all?
Instead, they were some kind of high-end item?
Daniel flipped through his manual and found the page on divine crystals.
The description said that divine crystals were items that had formed at the beginning of the world’s creation. They were a very advanced material with countless uses.
The adjectives used in the description were so broad that Daniel was somewhat confused.
Because if divine crystals couldn’t be spent as currency, what could they be used for?
He glanced at the starting bid for the divine crystals.
This time, there were only ten divine crystals up for auction, and the starting price was a staggering one million divine stones.
Of course, this was just the starting bid and didn’t reflect the true value of the divine crystals.
As the auction continued, the price rose to three million.
In the end, someone bid five million divine stones.
This was an extremely high price.
After the five million bid, no one else placed another offer.
They were waiting for the next item to come up.
This left Daniel curious.
Why would someone spend so many divine stones on these divine crystals?
It must be for something important, right?
Should he go and ask?
As this thought crossed his mind, Daniel used his mind power to locate the person who had purchased the divine crystals.
He finally locked onto a particular room.
There was a slight spatial fluctuation in the room.
It was likely due to the magic array for the transfer.
“Elise, keep an eye on the auction. If any relics from that divine dynasty show up, no matter how many divine stones are required, we must acquire them.”
“Understood, headmaster.”
After saying this, Daniel disappeared.
Inside a room, an elderly man was putting away the divine stones, planning to leave in a hurry.
But the next moment, he found a stranger in his room.
“Who are you? What do you want?”
As he spoke, an aura belonging to a God King began to emanate from his body.
“Don’t worry, I’m here just to ask you something.”
“I have nothing to discuss with an uninvited guest! Get out!”
With a loud command, the God King suddenly collapsed onto the ground, blood staining the corner of his mouth.
He had never imagined…
That the person who had suddenly appeared in his room could possess such strength!
Even just releasing a bit of his aura was enough to injure him!
Such a powerful being could easily kill him without any effort, surely!
“W-What do you want from me?”
