"As we all know, the Death Realm is filled with death energy, which affects most living beings. The reason you have come here from your respective worlds must be that you have more or less comprehended the laws of death, right?"

The auctioneer smiled and produced a parchment scroll covered in inscriptions in his hand.

"I won't keep you in suspense any longer. The opening item of this auction is this treasure map, which is related to the whereabouts of a 'Book of the Dead'!"

"What?! The opening scene is the Book of the Dead?"

"Don't get excited. It's just a clue to the Book of the Dead, not an auction of the Book of the Dead directly."

"You don't know anything! This is something important that concerns the next Death Lord, I'm taking it!"

"Hahaha, I didn't expect the Dead Zone Bank to give me such a surprise. It's like finding a needle in a haystack."

"Heh, you want clues? Do you have enough money?"

"Let's start filming already! My bank card is itching to be swiped!"

……

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, Su Mubai heard a murmur of discussion around him.

These voices all come with built-in translation, and players participating in the auction can also choose to mute other people's voices.

Even Youlan's eyes flashed with a hint of longing, clearly indicating that she had some interest in the clues to the [Book of Death].

As for why no one questions what Dead Zone Bank provides, it's entirely due to its long-standing reputation.

Moreover, the Dead Bank wouldn't stoop to fabricating a mere clue about the Book of the Dead.

Of course, the buyers knew that while the scroll certainly contained clues, the Dead Bank had never guaranteed that they could find the Book of the Dead through it.

If the Book of the Dead can truly be found, then it couldn't possibly be the first item up for auction.

They weren't even qualified to participate in the annual Divine Kingdom Auction.

Nevertheless, many players are still determined to obtain this parchment!

"Ahem, let's not waste any more time. The starting bid for this sheepskin scroll is 10 million soul crystals, and each bid must be at least 1000 soul crystals higher. The auction is now officially open!"

The auctioneer placed the parchment on the platform in front of him, and its information was immediately displayed to all the buyers.

Real-time prices also started to fluctuate rapidly.

1050 million, 1100 million, 1200 million...

The price of the parchment scrolls soared, breaking through 15 million soul crystals in the blink of an eye.

The first item offered by Dead Zone Bank instantly ignited the emotions of all the buyers.

Each buyer's seat in the venue has a bidding console. By entering their bid, the bid will be updated in real time on the virtual screen.

Of course, if the price has already been driven up when you place your bid, then it's considered an invalid bid.

Lingyu glanced at Youlan as the price continued to soar.

She knew Youlan definitely wanted this clue, because only by becoming the ruler of death could she hope to escape their fate.

Unfortunately, all their belongings barely covered the starting price, so there was no chance of them winning the bid.

Youlan and Lingyu exchanged a glance, then suddenly seemed to realize something. They looked at Su Mubai at the same time and whispered:

"My lord, are you not interested in the Book of the Dead?"

"Not interested in."

Su Mubai shook his head, looked at You Lan with interest, and smiled, "What, you seem quite interested?"

"without……"

Youlan shook her head regretfully. Actually, she wanted to borrow money from Su Mubai to buy the parchment scroll.

But the words stuck in my throat and I couldn't bring myself to say them.

They were just saved by adults yesterday, and they haven't created any value yet, so how can they even ask for help?

Seeing this, Su Mubai simply nodded and said meaningfully, "It's best if you're not interested, so as not to waste money."

Wasting money?

Youlan and Lingyu were somewhat confused upon hearing this.

However, they didn't ask any further questions, simply assuming that Lord Baiye was genuinely uninterested in the Book of Death.

Brian, standing to the side, almost couldn't help but laugh.

Just imagine how angry they'd be if those idiots spent so much money bidding on this thing, only to find the Book of the Dead missing after they finally unlocked its secrets.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Su Mubai.

To this day, he still doesn't understand how his master managed to collect all the Books of the Dead.

It's one thing for unclaimed "Books of the Dead" to be unclaimed, but what about those that do have owners?

As far as he knew, some of them were in the hands of higher gods.

Moreover, he was a high-ranking god whose fame was renowned throughout the entire universe!

Su Mubai unconsciously touched the web of his left hand, smiling as he watched players from all over the Frost Prison Kingdom bid on the parchment scroll.

The price soared, quickly surpassing 20 million soul crystals, and the pace showed no signs of slowing down.

This is just one clue related to the "Book of the Dead".

It's easy to imagine just how attractive this thing is in the realm of death!

Ten minutes later, the rate of price increase finally slowed down.

No matter how much a buyer wants it, it's just a clue after all, and if the price is too high, it's not worth it.

"The highest bid so far is 3100 million Soul Crystals. If this lead really leads to the [Book of the Dead], then I must congratulate this esteemed bidder in advance!"

The auctioneer raised his small golden gavel, adding fuel to the fire at just the right moment.

Under his influence, the final transaction price of this parchment scroll was set at 3800 million soul crystals.

boom!

"Let's congratulate this distinguished guest on successfully bidding for the first treasure at a price of 3800 million soul crystals!"

The golden gavel fell for the third time, and the auctioneer's voice was full of passion.

"The thought that the future ruler of death might be born at this auction makes me incredibly excited!"

"Haha, please excuse my poor appearance, distinguished guests. Now let's take a look at the second treasure!"

……

"There are quite a few wealthy people in the myriad worlds."

Upon hearing the price of 3800 million soul crystals, Su Mubai narrowed his eyes slightly and touched his chin.

He had initially doubted whether the entire Netherworld had enough Soul Crystals to sublimate the [Grimoire of Death].

Looking back now, I realize I was being a bit too conservative.

The next few treasures did not catch Su Mubai's eye.

While these things are indeed much stronger than those in the Forbidden Land, they are only of a higher rank and have stronger effects.

There were no particularly rare treasures.

Of course, this is the kind of thinking only someone like Su Mubai, who has cheat codes, would have.

In fact, the items that made it into this auction were all very rare items in the Frost Prison Divine Kingdom.

The reason Su Mubai wasn't interested was because he had [Catastrophe] which could mass-produce these kinds of things.

There were some items that were useful to Su Mubai, but they weren't the kind of items he urgently needed, so he only made a few symbolic bids and didn't make any more.

After all, there are plenty of treasures; it's not too late to buy them after the cataclysm.

The Frost Prison Kingdom holds an annual auction, as do other kingdoms. As long as you have money, you can easily buy these kinds of items.
