THE GOD EATER

Without waiting for them to answer, he said, ”So no. You will have to wait until you give me the divine crystals and the years of protection. You must also swear not to tamper with the divine crystals and to do your best to protect me.”

Then he asked them, saying, ”Any more questions?”

What he received was silence and many glares. No one said anything. They just looked at him with fierce eyes.

Some of the ferocity in their eyes was directed at him, but some was also directed at their fellow Dao Lords. After all, they had now become competitors.

Even the three newcomers who didn’t know how everything had become like this looked ready to engage in battle. When he saw this, he decided not to delay anymore.

”Since there are no more questions, I will begin,” he said with a smile.

Then he produced two glowing items in front of him. One of them was a black wind, and the other was a golden string.

After the two items appeared, he said, ”The first on the auction are my best goods. I have two Cosmic Dao here. They are the Death Supreme Metac and the Luck Supreme Metac.”

”Let’s start with the Death Supreme Metac. I think it is the most powerful one, so it should go first. Do I have any bidders for the Death Supreme Metac?”

Unlike what Loki expected, Black Chains wasn’t the first to make a bid. Tepid Scholar was the first.

Tepid Scholar said, ”100 years of divine crystal and 1 year of protection.”

”What kind of stinky offer is that?” asked Heavenly Eye. ”Show some sincerity, will you?”

Then she said to Loki with a grand voice, ”101 years of divine crystals and 13 months of protection for you.”

When Martial Will heard this offer, he sneered and said, ”What a joke! All of that posturing and you only added one more unit to the offer?”

Heavenly Eye, without shame and even with some pride, said, ”At least it is better than what Tepid Scholar offered.”

Tepid Scholar, unwilling to back down, said, ”I offer 200 years of divine crystals and 2 years of protection for you.”

Sword Will also said, ”250 years of divine crystals and 2 years of protection for you.”

At this point, Black Chains couldn’t hold back anymore. He said with a gruff voice full of latent anger, ”300 years of divine crystals and 2 years of protection.”

Martial Will, as if his tail had been stepped on, jumped out to say, ”300 years of divine crystals and 3 years of protection for you.”

When they heard this, Black Chain and everyone turned to him in surprise. It was Sword Will who said what they were thinking.

He said, ”Why are you doing this? The Death Dao doesn’t match you in any way. You can’t use it if you get it.”

With a smug expression on his face, Martial Will said, ”The fact that it is not valuable to me doesn’t mean it is not valuable to others. In this case, this Death Supreme Metac is clearly valuable to all of you. I don’t need it, but I can make it difficult for any of you to get it.”

Black Chains couldn’t hold back and said, ”You bastard.”

In response, Martial Will grinned and said, ”You’re welcome.”

”Fine,” Black Chains said through gritted teeth. ”1,000 years of divine crystals and 10 years of protection.”

Then he glared at Martial Will in anger as if daring him to make a move.

Despite the look that could kill, Martial Will didn’t seem to mind. The Dao Lord of the Martial Body Sect said, ”1,000 years of divine crystals and 11 years of protection.”

Tepid Scholar spoke up at this point, saying, ”1,000 years of divine crystals and 15 years of protection.”

Heavenly Eye also said, ”1,000 years of divine crystals and 20 years of protection.”

When Black Chains heard Tepid Scholar and Heavenly Eye’s offer, his anger seemed to leak out of him. If it had only been Martial Will bidding against him, he could be angry because he was sure that Martial Will was bidding to spite him.

But Tepid Scholar and Heavenly Eye are different. These two really want the Death Supreme Metac and will go the extra mile to not only make it difficult for him to acquire it, but also try to acquire it themselves.

In this case, his anger wouldn’t be of any use. Not that it was of any use before. But it was even more useless now.

To fight back, he could only say, ”1,000 years of divine crystals and 25 years of protection.”

But Heavenly Eye immediately said, ”2,000 years of divine crystals and 25 years of protection.”

Like so, the price continued to climb. As one of the only two Cosmic Daos available and the one of the two with the strongest offensive potential, the demand for it was very high.

If every Dao Lord could use whatever pathway they wanted, then everyone would be bidding for the Death Supreme Metac. Since not everyone was bidding for it, this gave the ones bidding for the Death Supreme Metac an opportunity to consolidate power.

Heavenly Eye, ever the quick-witted schemer, sent a message to Carefree Immortal, saying, ”Lend me some divine crystals.”

”No,” came the swift reply.

Not willing to take no for an answer, she urged him, saying, ”Oh come on. You are not bidding for anything right now, so you don’t need the money. On the other hand, I need the divine crystals urgently.”

”If you help me now, I will help you later. When you need divine crystals, I’ll help you get some. And I’ll also pay interest on the divine crystal you lend from me. I swear.”

But Carefree Immortal insisted, saying, ”No. I need all I can get for the upcoming items. I don’t want to be caught unprepared because of you.”
