System Auction Shop, I'll sell out across all realms!

"No, shouldn't we at least clarify the price first?"

[Does the host agree?]

"System, there are rules to follow in doing business."

[Does the host agree?]

Lin Tian's face gradually darkened.

"Could you answer my question first?"

The system remained unchanged, simply repeating the same sentence over and over.

[Does the host agree?]

Lin Tian took a deep breath.

"I agree!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the system panel flickered.

A very bad premonition suddenly rose in Lin Tian's heart.

His body gradually stiffened, and his fingers began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Could it be...?"

He dared not think any further and quickly opened the system panel to check his remaining Creation Power.

The next moment, Lin Tian was completely stunned.

[Power of Creation: 99,990,000 points]

Ninety-nine million nine hundred and ninety thousand points.

The original power of creation, which was worth several hundred million, has now been reduced to less than one hundred million.

Lin Tian stared intently at the numbers on the panel, his eyes widening little by little.

He even doubted that he had seen it wrong.

So he raised his hand to rub his eyes and looked at it again.

The numbers remain unchanged.

There are indeed only 99.99 million points left.

"..."

The courtyard was deathly silent.

Lin Tian's lips twitched slightly, and his expression gradually became distorted.

He had saved up these magical powers for a whole year through frugality and hard work.

Even when Wang Teng and Wang Wei needed to replenish their physical essence, he carefully calculated the consumption, afraid of wasting even a tiny bit.

As a result, the system deducted most of his savings accumulated over the past year with a single sentence.

Moreover, this was done without him being told in advance.

"system."

Lin Tian's voice began to tremble.

"Shouldn't you explain this to me?"

The system did not respond.

"Where has my power of creation gone?"

There has still been no response.

"That's something I saved up for a whole year!"

Lin Tian suddenly stood up and grabbed the light screen in front of him, as if he could pull the system out of it.

"Why didn't you tell me beforehand that it would require so much energy?"

"Is a 100,000-fold return really that impressive?"

"Even if it's a 100,000-fold return, you can't just deduct resources like this without any explanation!"

The system calmly responded:

The opportunity for a 100,000-fold return has been successfully secured.

"success?"

Lin Tian almost choked on his breath when he heard those words.

"Aaaaaah!"

Lin Tian let out a miserable scream as he looked up at the sky.

The voice was even more piercing than before, instantly resounding throughout the entire Zhutian Auction House.

The clouds above the courtyard were dispersed by the sound.

Several cranes flew away in a panic in the distance, one of them even crashing into the nearby spirit tree.

Inside the auction house, countless employees were jolted awake from their sleep.

Some employees, who had just entered a meditative state, almost went mad because of this sound.

Inside the staff quarters, three employees were sitting around a table drinking.

Several jugs of fine wine were placed on the table, and the three people were arm in arm, creating a lively atmosphere.

After Lin Tian's scream, the wine glasses in the hands of the three people stopped in mid-air.

One of them swallowed.

"No way?"

"Could it be that one of our cranes was slaughtered?"

The other person listened with a frown for a while.

"Why does that sound like our young master's voice?"

"Have you gone mad from drinking too much?"

The people next to him immediately retorted.

"Our young master is such a composed and civilized person, how could he possibly make such a sound?"

"And it seemed like there was a word mixed in with that voice just now."

"What character?"

"A very vulgar word."

As soon as the man finished speaking, the other two immediately glared at him.

"Don't talk nonsense."

"The young master has always treated us very well. If you slander him like this, I'll sue you."

"Indeed, young master, your status is noble and your strength unfathomable. How could you possibly lose your composure over such a trivial matter?"

The three of them quickly reached an agreement.

The sound just now could not possibly have come from Lin Tian.

They must have had too much to drink and misheard.

"Come on, let's keep drinking."

"It's a rare day off, don't let the noise outside spoil your mood."

"Yes, let's keep drinking."

The three raised their glasses again.

However, what they didn't know was that Lin Tian was in no mood for drinking at the moment.

He was standing in his small courtyard, his hands tightly clutching his chest, his face contorted in pain as if he had lost something extremely precious.

Lin Tian felt so heartbroken he could barely breathe.

"If I can't create something this time that can truly rival an Immortal Emperor..."

Lin Tian gritted his teeth, a fierce glint in his eyes.

"I'll have you introduce everything in the system's shop!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a system notification sounded in the courtyard.

"Ding!"

"System task being issued..."

Upon hearing this voice, Lin Tian's previously extremely fierce gaze vanished instantly!

"Hehehe..."

System task!

Since the system was upgraded to offer a 10,000x return, no new tasks have been released for a long time.

Therefore, the system's sudden issuance of the task immediately caught Lin Tian's attention.

A moment later, lines of golden text slowly appeared.

[System Mission: To uncover the truth of all realms and break free from the cycle of reincarnation!]

[Task Reward: System upgraded to Level 4!]

These two simple sentences caused Lin Tian's pupils to contract almost imperceptibly.

"Know the truth of all heavens?"

Lin Tian murmured softly.

This time, the system's task description was unusually vague.

To know the truth of all the heavens.

What is meant by the truth of all heavens?

Who can truly say what secrets are hidden in the heavens?

"The truth about the heavens is probably hidden in the hands of that Primordial Immortal Emperor."

Lin Tian's gaze gradually deepened.

The Primordial Immortal Emperor is absolutely the person known to be closest to the truth.

"And to get in touch with him, one must first possess sufficient strength."

Some secrets can only be discovered from a sufficiently high vantage point.

Thinking of this, Lin Tian looked down at his palm.

This return will likely involve reaching a realm beyond the Immortal Emperor.

Although Lin Tian didn't know what level was above the Immortal Emperor, since the system had already increased the return multiplier to 100,000 times, it meant that the ordinary 10,000 times return multiplier was no longer sufficient to meet his current needs.

At the same time, this also means that the power of the mastermind behind the scenes far exceeds his expectations.

The opponent is probably an extremely powerful being even among the Immortal Emperors.

He might even be a peak figure in the Immortal Emperor realm.

In a real battle, anything can happen.

The more cards you have up your sleeve, the greater your chances of survival.

"We absolutely cannot let our guard down this time."

Lin Tian's expression became extremely serious.

"At the very least, we need to prepare a few things that can punish an Immortal Emperor."
