With the auctioneer's encouragement, the price of this immortal artifact kept rising. In the end, it was bought by a bronze reincarnator for a high price of 13 survival points. Yi Shuihan was stunned. He originally thought he had a lot of survival points, but he was wrong.
"Are they all bidding using survival points?"
Since Yi Shuihan himself lacked funds, he began to research ways to increase his purchasing power and started working on the table in front of him.
Then Yi Shuihan tried putting the method for cultivating soul beasts that he had summarized on the Soul Beast Continent into the auction sequence, and it actually succeeded. Moreover, it was valued at 15 by the auction house and could be sold directly to the auction house.
"This is another way to earn survival points. So for future missions, I'll just focus on merit points. Survival points can be obtained in the same way. I'll just absorb more knowledge and conduct more research in the mission world."
A broad and promising road was laid out so easily in front of Yi Shuihan. If the other reincarnators knew that Yi Shuihan would arrive at the survival point so quickly, they would probably unite to protest against the God Space.
In fact, this method is also suitable for monsters like Yi Shuihan, whose strength far exceeds their level. You should know that Yi Shuihan only took shape with the help of his own knowledge and understanding. How many reincarnators are like Yi Shuihan, with a main body with saint-level strength?
"How should I choose? Auction, or give it directly to the auction house? Forget it, I'll give it directly to the auction house. It's safer to keep the survival points for now. Of course, I might get more survival points at the auction, but it would be troublesome if something I want came along during that time. It would be so embarrassing if I could have bought it but couldn't."
After thinking it over, Yi Shuihan made a decision: a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush!
Chapter 1137, An Acquaintance Who Lost His Reincarnation Qualification
The moment Yi Shuihan made the decision, 150,000 survival points were instantly credited to his account, and then his survival points jumped from 106,000 to 256,000, more than doubling.
"The next item up for auction may be unfamiliar to you, but that's alright. Let me introduce it to you. This item is the very first substance that constitutes the world, the origin of the world."
"The origin of the world? How could it be like this? It's clearly just a notebook. A notebook is the origin of the world? Then I can mass-produce the origin of the world."
“Auction houses do not auction counterfeit or substandard products. Since the auctioneer said so, he must be right.”
"Let's hear what he has to say next!"
Those who were truly making a ruckus and discussing it were the Black Iron and Bronze level cultivators. Even those who had reached Silver level weren't that excited, because the item in front of them was on the Silver exchange list, and it was ranked high. One World Origin was worth 200,000 Survival Points.
The origin of the world can exist in any form, and the form of this notebook is not its true form at all.
"This notebook belongs to a world called Death Note. This is the Death Note. Anyone who possesses this notebook can write the name of a person from that world in it and cause that person to die in various ways. Only those above the Silver rank can withstand it. This is the power of the primordial force."
"Of course, the true application of primal power is not like this. By gathering enough primal power, one can create a world..."
As the auctioneer explained, the black iron and bronze figures below understood the importance of the world's origin. They all stared at the notebook with bloodshot eyes, as if they wanted to devour it whole.
"The auction is now starting, with a starting price of 15. Please begin bidding."
"I'll offer 105,000."
"11."
"Poor bastard, you think you can buy the origin of this world for 11? You're dreaming. I'll offer 12."
"Don't compete with me, I'll offer 125,000."
"Give me some face, 13."
"..."
A fierce bidding war ensued, and in a short time, the price exceeded its intrinsic value, reaching 15 and continuing to rise. It was incredibly popular. Of course, those bidding were all Iron and Bronze level reincarnators; Silver and above reincarnators would not be fooled into paying such a high price.
"Unfortunately, it is only the origin of a lower world."
Looking regretfully at the auction stage, Yi Shuihan sighed.
"That makes sense. If it's a high-level world origin, it's not something I can acquire right now. It would cost at least a million survival points! And more likely, it wouldn't be traded for survival points."
After calming down, I realized that the world's origin, which existed in the form of a notebook, had been bought by a bronze reincarnator for 25 survival points, a full quarter higher than its original value.
Regarding the fact that a mere Bronze player has 25 survival points, Yi Shuihan could only say that such people do exist.
"It's a pity that items exchanged from the Exchange Hall cannot be traded between reincarnators; they can only be given away. Otherwise, Silver-level experts would make a fortune just by reselling the world's origin."
The auction continued, and the next few items were all bronze-level: three skill scrolls, two bottles of potions that could improve spirit and constitution respectively, and a map that recorded the treasure of a certain silver-level expert.
All the items auctioned were exquisite and had various uses for the reincarnators, but unfortunately, Yi Shuihan had no particular need for any of them.
"Since we're already here, it wouldn't be right not to buy anything. So, in that case..."
Yi Shuihan was thinking of buying something for A Wu as a gift, but the next item to appear at the auction made his pupils shrink.
"What's going on? What are they doing there?"
Looking at the familiar figures on the auction stage, Yi Shuihan felt that he might be hallucinating, but he also knew that this was impossible, which meant that what he was seeing was real.
"The items in this auction are special. They were originally reincarnators like you, but for some reason, they lost their reincarnation status. If you buy them, you can turn them into your followers. These special followers are great helpers in completing missions."
"Without further ado, we have two Bronze 5-stars, one Bronze 1-star, two Black 4-stars, and one Black Iron 5-star, for a total of six. We will auction them together, with a starting bid of 50,000 Survival Points. Please submit your bids now."
"10 million!"
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, Yi Shuihan immediately quoted a price of 10, doubling the price in one go. Even the auctioneer was a little stunned, let alone the others.
Yi Shuihan's plan was to seize the initiative, demonstrate his determination to win, and deter others from taking action.
When Yi Shuihan made his offer, he didn't try to hide it, making it easy for people to know that the person making the offer was from the Silver tier. For a few Bronze players, he would be at odds with Silver players, and who knows how much he would have to pay. Anyone with a modicum of sense would know which option to choose.
Therefore, it became clear that Yi Shuihan successfully spent 10 survival points to bid for them.
Yi Shuihan only knew a few people in the Main God Space, and their identities were easy to guess. They were the two elf sisters, Wu Qingxuan and Yaduoer, as well as Tong Yan and Xia Xinran. The only ones missing were the two men of the knight squad, Polick, the captain, and Count Wanbao, the vampire.
They've only been separated for a few days, so what happened during this time that caused Wu Qingxuan and the others to lose their Reincarnator qualifications and be sent to the auction house?
It was one thing for Wu Qingxuan and the others, but even Ya Duo'er, the son of the main god, suffered such a fate, which Yi Shuihan truly couldn't understand.
Because of Wu Qingxuan and the others, Yi Shuihan had no desire to stay at the auction house any longer. He left the auction house directly and chose to return to his private villa space. He had already paid survival points when he bid, and the auction house would automatically deliver the items to his door after the auction ended.
"What's wrong, boss? Did someone upset you? Should I go teach them a lesson?"
"Do you think you can teach someone who dares to mess with me a lesson?"
"If you can't fight, then fight; if you can't fight, then fight." If I can't beat someone, I can use words. After all, you can't fight in the God Realm, right?
"..."
Yi Shuihan: When did A Wu become so shameless?
Chapter 1138, Bloodbath Mission
After A-Wu's "comfort", Yi Shuihan's mood, which had been somewhat bad because of Ya-duo'er and the others, improved a lot. A-Wu noticed that Yi Shuihan had something on her mind, but did not disturb her. Instead, she played her Little Tyrant game console in the room by herself.
Yi Shuihan casually redeemed this Little Tyrant game console for less than 200 survival points. It was a high-end version of the Little Tyrant made in another world. It looked the same as the Little Tyrant game console, but its internal technology was tens of thousands of years ahead of the Little Tyrant in Yi Shuihan's memory.
After waiting for about an hour, a notification sounded, saying that the goods had arrived and asking Yi Shuihan if he wanted to receive them.
Having confirmed their acceptance, the six women, including Ador, materialized from the void and appeared in a row before Yi Shuihan.
"Were they teleported directly here? And their consciousness was controlled in some way?"
Along with Ador and the others, a parchment-like contract was brought into the room. Once they signed it, Ador and the others would become the property of the person who signed it, and would be recognized by the Main God Space.
"Interesting. Do they only regain consciousness when they sign this contract or when the contract is torn up?"
Knowing this, the next step is simple: pick up the contract, and under A-Wu's questioning gaze, tear it in two with both hands, making a tearing sound like cloth being ripped.
The crack in the contract began to spontaneously combust, and in the blink of an eye, the contract was completely burned to ashes. These ashes then abruptly disappeared into the air, as if they had never existed. The entire process was completely odorless.
As the contract disappeared, the pupils in Ador's and the others' eyes began to focus and become lively.
"Brother Taiyi, oh! I'm so scared."
When Yaduoer saw Yi Shuihan in front of her, she shouted and rushed over crying, hugging Yi Shuihan's waist. Her tears instantly soaked a large area of Yi Shuihan's clothes.
"Don't be afraid, with me here, no one can hurt you."
Yi Shuihan gently stroked her head, exuding a tranquil aura.
Yaduo'er's crying gradually subsided, and her breathing became even. She fell asleep in just a few seconds. Yi Shuihan wiped away the tears on her face, then placed her on the soft sofa and covered her with a blanket.
"Tell me! How did you get into the auction house? What happened while I was gone?"
Compared to the young Ador, the other girls were noticeably stronger, at least they didn't pounce on her. Of course, this was partly because their relationship with Yi Shuihan couldn't be anything less than that.
The two college girls held hands, keeping each other warm. Wu Qingxuan remained silent. The two elf sisters exchanged glances, and then the older sister took several deep breaths before speaking to Yi Shuihan and explaining the situation.
It turned out that three days after Yi Shuihan completed his advancement mission, a mandatory blood battle mission was launched in the God Space, and their knight squad was selected. Ador and the others temporarily joined the knight squad and were naturally among the selected members.
The so-called Bloodbath Mission is when the Main God Space periodically sends teams or individuals into the same world to engage in a battle where they kill each other. The winner will gain everything from the loser, including ownership of the loser himself. This is why they appear at the auction house, because they were defeated in the Bloodbath.
As for Polick and Earl Wanbao, they fared even worse, being killed in the bloody battle. Their corpses were even devoured by the opponent's pet. If it weren't for the fact that the other participants were all girls and not very strong, and probably didn't have anything good, they probably wouldn't have even had the chance to enter the auction house.
Normally, such bloody battle missions wouldn't be assigned to the Knights Squad. Only teams that have achieved an S-rank rating in mission worlds are regulars. So, they actually suffered this undeserved disaster because of Yi Shuihan's influence.
"In the end, it turns out it was my fault. A bloody battle, perhaps?"
After learning the reason, Yi Shuihan was embarrassed. It was one thing for Polik and the others, but Ador and the others were newcomers who had only experienced the world once, and they were dragged into a bloody battle. It was simply inhumane. Fortunately, they were lucky and were not killed directly. Moreover, they were auctioned off by Yi Shuihan.
"This is also our first time experiencing a bloodbath mission. I never expected it to be so terrifying. The enemy came knocking on our door right at the beginning. Even Captain Polick and Earl Wanbao, who are so strong, couldn't fight back. The enemy is too scary."
As if recalling the scene, a clear look of fear appeared in Leah's eyes, and she trembled as a result. Riko, who was next to her, also involuntarily tightened her body.
"Actually, it's all my fault. I got an S-rank rating on that mission with you guys, which is probably why the Knight Squad was chosen."
After thinking it over, Yi Shuihan decided to tell the truth.
Yi Shuihan's words startled the two elf sisters, and anger flashed in their eyes. If it weren't for Yi Shuihan, they wouldn't have participated in the Bloodbath mission, Polik and the others wouldn't have been involved, and they wouldn't have been auctioned off.
"elder sister."
Rico shook her head at Lia, and the anger in Lia's eyes gradually subsided. When she looked at Yi Shuihan, there was only sorrow in her eyes, and no longer any anger.
Lia wasn't an unreasonable person. Yi Shuihan wasn't trying to harm them. From Yi Shuihan's perspective, he hadn't done anything wrong. If they were in Yi Shuihan's shoes, they wouldn't refuse a high evaluation when they clearly had the ability to do so.
Besides, Yi Shuihan rescued them from the auction house, and the auction fee was quite high. He was kind and righteous, so what right did they have to blame Yi Shuihan?
The only one to blame is probably the God Realm itself, its cruelty. They can also blame themselves; they were too weak to have ended up in this situation.
“It’s none of your business. Even without you, we would have encountered something similar sooner or later. Thank you for saving us from the auction.”
Surprisingly, none of the women blamed Yi Shuihan in the end; in fact, they were very grateful to him for rescuing them from the auction.
"By the way, are you still reincarnators? The auctioneer said you've lost your qualifications as reincarnators. How are things now?"
Suddenly realizing this, Yi Shuihan asked directly.
Chapter 1139, Refusing to Team Up
“We have all regained our status as reincarnators. It is thanks to you that you tore up the contract. Otherwise, our best fate would have been to exist as followers without freedom. If we had fallen into someone else’s hands instead of yours, we might have lived worse than slaves. At that time, we would not even have the right to die.”
Lia said to Yi Shuihan with a look of relief. She really couldn't imagine what would have happened if she hadn't been bought by Yi Shuihan. She had heard about what the reincarnators in the God Space were like. Most of them were perverts, and quite a few of them liked to torture women. In the God Space, where you could die at any time, there were very few people who could withstand the pressure and stick to their original intentions.
"So you've regained your status as a reincarnator? That's good."
Yi Shuihan nodded, feeling that his previous actions were correct; once he signed, there would be no way to undo the damage.
"Brother Taiyi, can we follow you from now on?"
The speaker was Xia Xinran, one of the two college student sisters. Yi Shuihan looked at Xia Xinran with some surprise, while Xia Xinran stared straight at him without backing down.
Beside Xia Xinran, Tong Yan also had expectations in her eyes. After this bloody battle and the first world, they understood that only by following someone like Yi Shuihan could their lives be guaranteed in the Main God Space.
While they did go on the Bloodbath mission because of Yi Shuihan's influence, it also proved Yi Shuihan's strength. If Yi Shuihan wasn't strong and hadn't received a high rating, they wouldn't even have been qualified to enter the Bloodbath.
In the first world as well, those who stayed by Yi Shuihan's side all survived; those who died did so because Yi Shuihan was not there.
Most importantly, they knew that Yi Shuihan had entered the advancement mission world before their bloody battle. The fact that he could appear now meant that Yi Shuihan had become a Silver-level expert, much stronger than Polik. Silver-level experts were already considered true elites in the God Space. With a Silver-level expert protecting them, their safety would increase many times over.
Not only Tong Yan and Xia Xinran, but even the two elf sisters and Wu Qingxuan looked at Yi Shuihan at this moment, as if they regarded Yi Shuihan as their support.
Having experienced what happened before, they have a great lack of security and desperately need a strong support.
"Should we agree or not?"
Yi Shuihan pondered for a moment. If he agreed, he would have to take care of people for every mission, which would be a burden for him. To be honest, these girls were only good-looking and could not help Yi Shuihan in any other way. The difference in strength between the two sides was too great.
If Polik were still alive, he could have agreed to take care of them. But now, if he agrees, he'll have too much to worry about.
If he doesn't agree, these girls might not survive in the God Realm without his protection. They are all too weak, and no one can take on the responsibility of being the captain.
Yi Shuihan was unwilling to watch them die, so he was conflicted.
Seeing that Yi Shuihan did not answer for a long time, Xia Xinran's heart sank, and the expectation in Tong Yan's eyes turned into disappointment.
The atmosphere in the room became somewhat somber, even making A-Wu, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, feel a little uncomfortable. However, it knew that this was Yi Shuihan's business and had no intention of getting involved. It would support whatever Yi Shuihan wanted.
Yi Shuihan also sensed the change in atmosphere, but he couldn't make a decision quickly. Suddenly, his gaze swept over Ya Duo'er on the sofa, and something vaguely surfaced in his mind.
"That's right, she's the son of the supreme god, Ador is the son of the supreme god!"
As the child of the main god, Ador is destined to receive the care of the main god space. Even without Yi Shuihan's care, her chances of growing up are still very high.
If Wu Qingxuan and the others team up with Yi Shuihan, they will face missions far more difficult than they can handle. In that case, they will really be nothing more than decorative figures, relying on Yi Shuihan to complete missions and survive. It will be very difficult for them to grow and develop.
Conversely, if they form a small team, they will receive less difficult tasks due to their strength. In addition, since Ador is taken care of by the Main God Space, their growth may be even easier than it was with Yi Shuihan, provided that they don't do anything reckless.
