Swallowing the Stars: Reboot, The Eternal Serpent!

Chapter 60 The Hand of the Beast God! [Seeking first subscriptions!!!]

"The next item in this auction is renowned, and I'm sure everyone here already recognizes what it is."

"That's right, this is the egg of the Hill and Valley Beast, one of the twelve peak bloodlines of the Starry Sky Beasts, a darling of the earth and sky dual elemental laws!"

The auction hall erupted in uproar, with the realm lords' eyes burning with fervor.

The cubs of the Starry Sky Beasts are very attractive. Whether you let your offspring possess them or enslave them to train as henchmen, it's a win-win situation.

As his excitement subsided, Jiang Zhe frowned slightly, beginning to doubt his own financial resources.

"However, I regret to inform you that this is a dead egg!"

The goatee pointed to the giant egg on the screen, and the camera panned to a chip on the side, a spot that no one had noticed before.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a dead egg from a failed possession attempt. The soul of the colossal beast has perished, but fortunately, a Soul Master intervened and extracted the beast's inherited memories, storing them all in this chip. We're consigning both items for auction!"

Despite the goatee-bearded old man's explanation, the auction hall remained in chaos.

"call!"

"What a disappointment! It turned out to be a secondhand piece of junk!"

"Are you kidding me?"

"What use is its inherited memories? We humans can't cultivate ourselves, so while it might have some value for enlightenment, it's not much."

"Can't it also be used as material for creating clones?"

"Are you stupid? You have no ambition at all. You've already created clones, and you're still considering conventional races like star behemoths? Why don't you go find some special life forms?"

"Actually, after being treated with preservatives, it can also be a nice collectible when placed at home as an ornament."

……

The goatee-wearing old man said a few more words, trying to raise the value of the dead egg, before the auction officially began.

The starting price is "0". Begin submitting your bid.

The bid amount will appear on the auction tokens of everyone present.

1.5 Mixed Units!

1.8 Mixed Units!

……

3.7 Mixed Units!

……

Jiang Zhe stared wide-eyed as the numbers jumped rapidly, reaching 5 Mixed Yuan Units in just a few breaths, somewhat bewildered.

This is more expensive than the tattered skin of the Demon Slayer Clan.

Their race possesses an extremely high innate spatial talent, which can not only be used to create clones, but even the tattered skin can be used to comprehend spatial runes...

"Is it really necessary to use a dead egg?" Jiang Zhe wondered.

"Perhaps it's because of inherited memories?" Orianna guessed.

"Good grief! They say they look down on us, but once the auction starts, they're all bidding higher and higher, aren't they?"

Jiang Zhe cursed under his breath as he plunged into the crowd of bidders.

Ultimately, the price settled at "56.7 mixed units", from CNB95270, which is what Jiang Zhe got.

"Sigh, luckily I sold a top-of-the-line mechanical race spaceship on the way here, otherwise I would have had a great opportunity but could only watch helplessly."

Jiang Zhe leaned back in the ill-fitting chair and breathed a sigh of relief.

The silver-clad primordial spirit's "teaching materials" have been obtained.

The auction continued, but Jiang Zhe was already losing interest.

Occasionally, he would make a tentative offer, hoping to acquire a few naturally formed treasures to provide Orianna with some food.

But the price quickly soared to thousands of units, making him hesitate.

Until, two dark purple-gold gloves, one large and one small, appeared.

"Damn! The Infinity Gauntlet?"

"Is the Purple Sweet Potato Spirit going to become the Director of the Family Planning Office in the Primal Universe?"

The two unusually styled weapons amused Jiang Zhe, who chuckled to himself.

The goatee-wearing old man pointed to two metal gloves on the screen and began to introduce them.

"There's one thing I need to clarify beforehand."

"One copy of this set exists at auctions in every cosmic kingdom, totaling 1008 sets. This will be the last unique copy; that master will never create such a telekinetic weapon again!"

The realm lords looked at each other in bewilderment.

Scarcity marketing?

But they couldn't see anything special about these telekinetic weapons.

Are you stronger than the nine divine weapons of the Controller?

Or is this a weapon meant for immortal beings?

The goatee-bearded old man continued, "The two psychic weapons are called the Beast God's Hand. They are both forged by fusing the two fundamental laws of thunder and time. The two are of different levels and come with matching usage techniques and advancement techniques."

Beast God?

This unusual title attracted the attention of Jiang Zhe and some insightful immortals and realm lords.

"A beast god? Really? Brother!"

Jiang Zhe's eyes lit up as he recalled Luo Feng's future Beast God Weapon Shield, and his interest was piqued.

It should be noted that human cultivators of the Beast God Path are extremely weak; the only high-level inheritance they can offer is the "Seven Kills of the Beast God" by Hirodo of the Golden Horn Clan.

Those who aspire to the path of the Beast God will purchase and learn from it, and then obtain a Beast God weapon to study, but none of them have made any significant progress.

Jiang Zhe suspected that these two telekinetic weapons were practice tools made by a certain immortal king.

The goatee-bearded old man continued his explanation.

"The Lesser Beast God's Hand is weaker in power than the nine divine weapons wielded by its user, but its difficulty in mastering it is no less. Moreover, it can only be considered a basic introduction; the key lies in its advanced version—the true Beast God's Hand!"

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"Only by mastering the Lesser Beast God's Hand can one learn advanced secret techniques and attempt to use the Beast God's Hand."

"The latter's power surpasses that of the nine divine weapons wielded by its user. If its final stage can be unleashed, it will be able to contend with even the most powerful and noble beings among the immortals!"

"Of course, it is also extremely difficult to master. It requires not only an understanding of the laws, but also another special understanding."

"In short, gentlemen, the artistry of this telekinetic weapon outweighs its practicality. Those of you who wish to bid should think twice before proceeding!"

For the first time ever, the goatee-bearded old man didn't raise prices; instead, he advised his customers to consume rationally.

The realm lords were somewhat unaccustomed to it, but they also realized that this set of telekinetic weapons was far too complex.

Only a small number of knowledgeable realm lords and immortals still retain interest in the [Hand of the Beast God].

Of course, Jiang Zhe was one of them.

"Needs a special insight? Then this is confirmed!"

"I have long yearned for the way of the Beast God."

"Lei Shi... I haven't found a Controller Divine Weapon that matches my attributes yet, so I definitely can't miss this one."

"Never mind whether you can understand it or not, just take a picture and try it out."

Jiang Zhe made up his mind, straightened his posture, and was eager to try.

"A pair of telekinetic weapons, the Hands of the Beast God!" the goatee-wearing old man shouted at that moment, "Start the auction, starting price 0!"

10 Mixed Units!

40 Mixed Units!

100 Mixed Units!

……

The numbers on the token screen are moving very slowly, indicating that there are few participants in the bidding, but the price increase is quite significant.

In a moment of distraction, Jiang Zhe was suddenly presented with "300 Mixed Units," leaving him speechless.

Guys, it can't be that serious!

Do immortals and realm lords who live in the universe deserve to play the way of the beast god?

He was confident he could enter the core of the Virtual Universe Company, but he wouldn't dare guarantee he could manipulate the Beast God's Hand.

I think there's a good chance it will rot in my hands.

What about the other realm lords and immortals? Are they so rich that they're just planning to buy a decorative item to put at home?

Cursing under his breath, Jiang Zhe gritted his teeth and kept up with the bidding, mentally prepared to throw all two thousand-plus Hunyuan units he had brought into the fray.

Fortunately, after 500 units of mixed energy were sold, only a handful of people submitted bids.

"Everyone, 890 mixed units, are there any higher?"

The goatee-wearing old man looked around.

"Countdown: 10, 9, 8... 3, 2, 1! Congratulations to customer CNB95270 for winning this Beast God's Hand set!"

"Phew~"

With the dust settled, Jiang Zhe closed his eyes, rubbed his temples, and breathed a sigh of relief.

……

The final auction item, a familiar one, was a spot for comprehending the primordial universe, which sold for nearly 4 Chaos Units.

This auction has now officially concluded.

Fifteen days later, Jiang Zhe and Oriana traveled to White Orchid Star in a spaceship and successfully received the treasure they had photographed.

There will be more tonight!

At that same time every day!
