Chapter 1206: The Omen Core
December 1, 2023
The "Omen Core" is a sacred prophetic artifact that can only be crafted by a Star-Constant Prophetic Master.
In the Fig Hub, there are only two individuals capable of creating it: Andrew Soren and Ashley.
To forge an Omen Core, a Star-Constant Prophetic Master must spend ten Fig days in meditation, channeling all their spiritual insights into a specially crafted crystal orb. This process yields a high-quality Omen Core.
The Omen Core is a treasure trove of Star-Constant-level spiritual insights, making it an invaluable resource for lower-tier prophetic practitioners. Using this artifact allows them to assimilate these insights, significantly benefiting their cultivation and reducing the number of detours they might take on their path to mastery.
It's akin to having a renowned master as a personal tutor or spending years learning directly from a Star-Constant-level expert, with transformative effects on one's abilities.
Therefore, many lower-tier prophetic practitioners dream of obtaining an Omen Core.
However, the Omen Core is exceedingly difficult to acquire.
In the past, when the super AI Sange was still active, Star-Constant Prophetic Masters would periodically create Omen Cores to trade for resources with Sange.
Due to the scarcity of Star-Constant Prophetic Masters, Sange often set extremely high thresholds for obtaining an Omen Core, such as through battlefield achievements, top-tier tournament rewards from elite academies, or extremely dangerous missions.
In short, it was impossible to purchase one on the market, and there were no easy ways to obtain it.
No one expected it to appear at this auction.
If Sange were still around, the Omen Core would be a strictly prohibited item, never up for auction.
...
Raitodoz had anticipated the audience's surprise.
To be honest, he was also taken aback when he first received the Omen Core a few days ago.
Since it had never been auctioned before, no one knew its exact value.
However, as the first item in the auction, the Omen Core was certainly a weighty offering!
Raitodoz smiled and explained calmly, "Ladies and gentlemen, there's no need to be surprised. This is an Omen Core, a treasure that can only be crafted by a Star-Constant Prophetic Master! If any of you watching the live stream are unfamiliar with the Omen Core or want more detailed information, you can search the public network for relevant entries."
As he spoke, a detailed information link about the Omen Core appeared in the blank area at the bottom right of the live stream.
On the left side of the live stream, the contact information for bidding had already been posted, though the bidding had not yet begun.
Many viewers who were unfamiliar with the Omen Core clicked the link to learn more.
Even Su Yu and Morning Star didn't know about it.
Morning Star proactively extended her paw to click the link and read through the content with Su Yu.
However, some viewers were already aware of the Omen Core and were urging in the public chat:
"Tell us where the Omen Core came from first!"
"You can't just leave it at that; we need to know the source!"
"Without a clear source, we won't dare to buy it."
"Was it made by Banker Andrew or Master Ashley?"
...
The chat area was filled with continuous urging.
The value of the Omen Core and its creator are closely linked.
Whether it was crafted by Ashley or Andrew Soren makes a significant difference. An Omen Core made by Ashley might be worth twice as much as one made by Andrew, and it can also influence the user's cultivation direction.
Leitedoz, of course, knew this.
He waited a moment, allowing everyone to read the detailed introduction, before responding, "This 'Omen Core' comes from Banker Andrew Soren. He entrusted me to auction it five days ago.
Banker Andrew claims that this is a 'Omen Core' he crafted himself. All the diviners watching the live stream, don't miss this opportunity!"
Five days ago, Andrew Soren had personally approached Leitedoz, asking him to auction the 'Omen Core' on his behalf.
Following the customary practice in the auction world, 5% of the final selling price would be paid to Leitedoz as a commission.
When Banker Andrew showed up, Leitedoz was quite surprised! He had already made it clear that he was aligned with the Feg Guard, and almost everyone in the Hub knew this. Yet, Banker Andrew suddenly contacted him, which was quite puzzling!
Of course, Leitedoz didn't dare to offend Andrew Soren.
Facing the banker, he immediately agreed to handle the auction and even stated that he wouldn't charge any commission.
Andrew Soren didn't say much.
After handing over the 'Omen Core,' he said he would pay the full commission and then vanished immediately.
Thus, this item found its way into the auction.
Leitedoz still didn't understand why Banker Andrew wanted to auction the 'Omen Core.'
However, since a stellar-level entity had entrusted him with the task, he didn't dare to be negligent and placed it as the first item to be auctioned.
...
After Leitedoz clarified the origin of the 'Omen Core,' the public chat area erupted with even more discussions:
"It's Banker Andrew's 'Omen Core'!"
"Can the diviners in the bank's prediction department resist this?"
"Damn, I want it so much! But I don't have the money!"
"Wow, Banker Andrew's 'Omen Core' is worth at least six million military credits! Maybe even more."
"Wait, isn't Leitedoz and Su Yu part of the Guard faction? How did they get involved with Banker Andrew?"
...
The public chat area was filled with a flurry of discussions, the refresh rate so fast it was hard to keep up.
Everyone was stunned by the appearance of the 'Omen Core.'
Initially, they thought the main event of the auction would come later, and the earlier items were insignificant, even considering skipping to the last item.
But who knew the first item would be so explosive!
While the 'Omen Core' wasn't as valuable as the corpse of a Dark Thunder Dragon, it was still highly prized! And why Banker Andrew got involved in this was a mystery that left everyone speculating.
In Su Yu's spacecraft, Su Yu and Chenxing, who were watching the auction live, were equally baffled.
Over the past few days, they hadn't paid much attention to the auction's preparations. Apart from indulging in a shopping spree in the Hub, they had been busy transporting their purchases back to Earth.
Su Yu's [Golden Gorse Plane Chain] had a large internal space, but with all the recent purchases, it was starting to get full.
So, they had made an early return to Earth to "unload" their goods. They had made one trip back to Earth during the week and had just returned yesterday.
They hadn't asked Leitedoz about the auction's progress, and they certainly didn't expect the first item to be such a surprise, with Banker Andrew getting involved!
But why?
