Chapter 498: Celestial Bank
Chapter 498: Celestial Bank
At a boundary zone, the universe seemed to tear open, revealing semi-transparent wounds.
These wounds glowed with a hazy white light, and within them, dark shadows could be vaguely seen.
Upon closer inspection, one would discover various demonic servants of the evil gods, wailing and howling as they rushed out of the boundary zone.
And then... they vanished into nothingness.
Whoosh!
At the edge of the boundary zone, the void flickered, and two Sea Clan members appeared.
One of them had gills on his face, a handsome appearance, and thirteen colorful scales on his forehead, emitting a rainbow glow.
The other was a mermaid with golden, curly hair that was smooth and lustrous.
"The boundary zone has appeared again... It seems another Lawmaster Realm powerhouse has fallen, and their divine kingdom has collapsed, merging with this region of the universe..."
The male Sea Clan member sighed.
The inner world, inner universe, and divine kingdom of Lawmaster Realm powerhouses were essentially the same - they were all internal worlds.
However, these worlds had a flaw; they couldn't form an independent universe and had to rely on the real universe.
Once a powerful being died, their inner kingdom would also collapse, merging with the real universe to create a boundary zone. Some lucky creatures would escape, causing terrible disasters.
For example, the catastrophe that once befell the Daxia Planet originated from the inner universe of the Nightmare Palace Master.
Of course, these disasters were also opportunities.
Perhaps... the inheritance of a Lawmaster Realm powerhouse was hidden within!
As a result, some powerful beings would also be attracted.
Most of the inner universe of the Creator had collapsed, and the boundary zone appeared in the region controlled by the Sea Clan. Naturally, members of the Sea Clan arrived.
"It's just that..."
The mermaid raised her hand, and a colorful bubble appeared, enclosing a fleshy sphere covered in countless human limbs.
Suddenly, numerous eyes opened on the sphere, and an evil and insane mental shock emerged.
However, the mermaid was unaffected and watched as the colorful bubble flew out of the boundary zone. The demonic servant vanished into nothingness, and she spoke, "Illusory Law... These creations are illusory, so they turn into nothingness as soon as they enter the real universe... This is a good thing, indicating they won't cause a major disaster to the nearby star regions, and we can finally relax."
"Not many Lawmaster Realm powerhouses have achieved the Illusory Law... We can try to investigate and might be able to find out the identity of the other party, and thus gain some benefits."
The male Sea Clan member spoke thoughtfully.
"Haha... This Lawmaster Realm powerhouse has countless disciples, so it's unlikely they left behind any inheritance or treasures."
The mermaid flicked her tail, and the universe's void seemed like a water surface, allowing her to dive in and disappear in an instant, using teleportation.
The male Sea Clan member also sighed and turned to leave.
Before leaving, he glanced back and saw a space fortress rushing out of the boundary zone.
On the fortress, the words 'Seventh Fleet of Space' were engraved, and it was silver-white with a sense of sci-fi and mechanical beauty. Several guardian mechas surrounded it.
However, upon entering the universe, it also turned into nothingness, leaving no trace behind...
"The technological creations are also mediocre, probably only reaching the level of a mid-level civilization?"
The male Sea Clan member shook his head, and his figure transformed into a blue streak of light, disappearing without a trace...
At the same time.
Celestial Bank.
This bank was not owned by the Sea Clan but was established by the Celestial Civilization, the peak civilization in the universe, with branches in most star regions.
There was one on Green Water Planet, which was a pleasant surprise.
It didn't take long for Fang Xing to finish the procedures and walk out of the Celestial Bank.
"The service at this Celestial Bank is too slow. I just wanted to pawn a few items, but they said the local stock of Force Crystals is insufficient and they need to transfer them from another planet, which will take a month..."
Fang Xing was speechless but understood that this was a normal situation.
He needed a considerable number of Force Crystals, and even if he sold the entire Green Water Planet, it wouldn't be enough to compensate.
These weren't just numbers on a screen but actual Force Crystals that needed to be extracted.
When the time came, even twelfth-rank Neutron Star Rank bodyguards and Lawmaster Realm powerhouses might take notice.
'Speaking of which, I haven't broken through yet, but with the power of a complete law, I'm at least a Black Hole-level existence...'
'Some vows were made by Li Ying, but since I've received the benefits, I should also start preparing.'
After all, the path of causality was profoundly mysterious. Even though Fang Xing had used his Golden Finger to deceive the Law of Causality, he couldn't deceive himself!
No one knew if these 'causal lines' would appear when he transcended.
'Fortunately, it's not complicated; it's just a few matters... The first is the causality of the Primordial Heavy Temple, which requires me to kill the enemy of Gray Robe Marquis - the Blood Essence Mountain Lord! The second is the causality of the Nightmare Palace, which is even simpler; I just need to help a Nightmare Beast once...'
As for resurrecting Gray Robe Marquis?
With his insufficient strength, he wouldn't even consider it, nor would it cause any psychological barriers for him.
'Hmm... If I help Gray Robe Marquis take revenge, the Primordial Heavy Temple should naturally belong to me. There's nothing more to say; I should start inquiring about the news from Daxia Planet...'
With this thought, he looked at the female Sea Clan member following him and asked, "Is there any place nearby where I can gather information?"
"A female member of the Sea Clan received his favor and was now wholeheartedly considering, 'In our city, it's the Treasure Shop. They are said to have a powerful background and special connections to every part of Deep Sea Civilization, with extremely fast communication speeds... They also deal in various intelligence and item trading industries, which sometimes involve gray areas.'"
This was a black market trader, and it was easy for such dealings to turn sour.
"No problem, take me there."
Fang Xing waved his hand dismissively and gestured for the Sea Clan woman to drive the colorful bubble, bringing him to a pristine shell-shaped building.
As usual, he asked her to wait outside while he went in.
"Honored guest, how may I be of service to you?"
As soon as Fang Xing entered, a female Sea Clan member greeted him.
Although each of her scales seemed lifelike, he knew that this was a puppet machine.
'A puppet with the strength of the Tenth Realm?'
He glanced at it, his heart stirring: 'As expected, Deep Sea Civilization is far more advanced than the Blue Planet Federation. They can even easily manufacture puppets of this level and use them to greet guests...'
"I want to sell a piece of junk and also acquire some information."
Fang Xing spoke calmly.
"Please follow me."
The female Sea Clan member immediately led Fang Xing into a giant pearl.
Once the pearl closed, no more sounds could be heard from the outside.
"This is a specially designed confidential room. Now, only you and I are conducting this transaction... Everything I say is under the highest intelligence surveillance of the Treasure Shop..."
The female Sea Clan member's expression suddenly turned rigid, "May I ask what the guest is planning to sell?"
"This..."
Fang Xing raised his hand and released a grayish fruit.
In fact, he had sold more of his junk at the Celestial Bank, and here he only intended to sell some small items for pocket money.
A faint blue light flashed in the eyes of the female Sea Clan member as she scanned the grayish fruit, and a large amount of data flowed, seemingly making a comparison:
"The item you wish to sell is a 'Gray Source Fruit', mature and well-preserved... Estimated value is around 700 million Force Credits, or 70 billion Deep Sea Credits."
The female Sea Clan puppet paused as she spoke, "Due to the large transaction amount, the access level has been elevated. Guest, you can become a 'Nine Scales' level client for our Treasure Shop."
Meanwhile, in the background, information was being transmitted to the true owner of the Treasure Shop.
Fang Xing even felt that a higher-level intelligence had temporarily taken over the access of the female Sea Clan puppet and was negotiating with him.
"Honored Nine Scales VIP, according to our shop's rules, there is a 10% handling fee for selling items. The final offer is 63 billion Deep Sea Credits. What do you think?"
The female Sea Clan puppet spoke with a solemn tone.
"That's fine, but I don't want Deep Sea Credits. Convert it all into Force Credits for me... I know you don't have that much reserve here, so forget the cash. Just transfer it to my account."
Fang Xing replied casually.
His account was naturally set up at the Celestial Bank, and the vast real universe had many interstellar wanderers, making identity checks less stringent.
"Force Credits?"
The female Sea Clan puppet hesitated.
...
Deep within the Treasure Shop.
A young Sea Clan member with ten scales on his forehead was staring intently at the figure on the screen, "Force Credits? He wants Force Credits... Isn't he from the Sea Clan? Why not Deep Sea Credits? Moreover, the official exchange rate between Force Credits and Deep Sea Credits has already changed in the black market..."
He was inclined to reject the transaction but felt a bit reluctant, "The Gray Source Fruit is also very important... It's related to my potential advancement. Fortunately, I can accept the transfer, and I can still borrow some in time. If it were cash, there wouldn't be many people on the entire Green Water Planet who could come up with that amount..."
"This Sea Clan member is very unfamiliar..."
The young Sea Clan member stared at Fang Xing's image, his hands moving swiftly over the controls, but his eyes revealed a glint of determination.
...
[Ding, Your account has received 630 million Force Credits.]
Fang Xing glanced at his Celestial Bank card, nodded, and handed over the Gray Source Fruit to the female Sea Clan puppet across from him, "Pleasant transaction... By the way, I also want to purchase some intelligence."
"Please, VIP."
The female Sea Clan member smiled gracefully, appearing more respectful than before.
"I want to buy information about the Nightmare Beast clan... and any recent data on obtainable Nightmare Beasts."
Fang Xing spoke with his fingers intertwined.
He didn't want to draw unnecessary attention by inquiring about the Xia Planet, which was only a quasi-elementary civilization in the universe.
However, there was no such concern with the Nightmare Beasts.
"The Nightmare Beast is a lineage of cosmic beasts with exceptional innate talent, making them suitable to be cultivated as pets or avatars..."
The female Sea Clan member immediately sent over some intelligence.
After a simple query, she directly stated, "In 297 cosmic days, there will be a slave auction for a Nightmare Beast on the Azure Planet at the Multi-Racial Auction. It's still a youngling and has just been promoted to the Guardian Star Rank, making it extremely suitable for any cultivation method..."
