Swallowing the Stars: The Rise of Emperor Wei

Not long after Norlanshan died, the triennial Qianwu Primary Auction began.

Virtual universe, Jiuxingwan Community teleportation point.

Luo Feng and Gao Sheng both held an invitation to the Qianwu Auction.

"Let's go, hopefully we'll find something good." Gao Sheng smiled.

Teleport!

call!

The two instantly disappeared from Black Dragon Mountain Island and were teleported to a floating city above the "Qianwu Continent". The invitation emitted specks of light, causing the floating city's defenses to automatically open a passage.

Auction Hall! The triennial Qianwu Auction is always held in this auction hall!

A huge crowd of people of all kinds had formed two long queues at the entrance of the auction hall, all waiting to get in. And this was just one of the entrances.

"So many three-star clients?" Luo Feng was stunned. How many was that?

Babata on Luo Feng's shoulder said, "This is an auction held by the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. The three-star clients are basically all Realm Lords."

Xiao Ai said, "There aren't many World Lords in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region, less than a hundred. A few of them may not even be three-star clients. But the Qianwu Universe Kingdom has more than 13,000 star regions, and those star regions directly under the universe kingdom have far more World Lords than the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. The entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom should have three to five million World Lords."

A long line of people formed, and various voices of discussion could be heard.

Starfield secret realms, extraterrestrial battlefields, cosmic legions, divine kingdoms—not to mention Luo Feng, even Gao Sheng found these things fascinating.

The people in line also saw Luo Feng and Gao Sheng. Although they were both apprentices, their eyes and demeanor clearly indicated that they were two youngsters.

Although those people found it strange, they didn't underestimate him at all. Which royal family could this little guy come to this auction?

"Brothers, which family or organization do you belong to?" A man standing behind Luo Feng greeted him with a smile.

"The Wei Di family," Luo Feng said.

"Oh." The man nodded, indicating he hadn't heard of it.

……

"Hello sir, welcome to this year's Qianwu Auction. This is your seat number."

Finally, it was the turn of two people. Each person received a token, which were issued in order, so they were in adjacent positions.

"Wow, it's huge!" Gao Sheng and Luo Feng were both stunned when they entered the auction hall.

The auction hall, with its three million seats, was like a stadium magnified countless times. When you finally reached your seat, was it even six meters wide?

"Luo Feng, why don't you come over here?" Gao Sheng beckoned.

"Okay." Luo Feng smiled and went to sit down with Gao Sheng.

Gao Sheng looked left and right, wondering if the clan leader had also come, but he didn't know where he was.

Perot probably had no idea that Gao Sheng was also a three-star client, and he hadn't mentioned the auction to Gao Sheng at all.

……

Three hours later.

"Everyone!"

A bald old man carrying a black tortoise shell stood in the center of the auction hall, while a nearly 1,000-meter-tall "three-dimensional phantom" of the old man appeared in the sky above. A clear voice instantly spread out.

"Welcome everyone to this year's Qianwu Auction. Many thanks to Virtual Universe Company, Universe First Bank, Universe Galaxy Bank, Giant Axe Arena, Universe Mercenary Alliance, and the Qianwu Universe Kingdom for their generous support," the old man said with a smile. "I believe many of you recognize me; you can call me Old Barto. I'm here again to host this top-tier event!"

"The official start time for this auction is fast approaching. As usual, before the auction officially begins, let's have a pre-auction to warm things up."

"This is the Tana Star Region! The entire star region contains 668 star systems."

"...Starting price: 300 Mixed Yuan Units. Begin bidding!"

Immediately, a line of numbers appeared on the large screen next to them: "300 Mixed Yuan Units".

"400 Mixed Yuan Units".

Prices soared rapidly.

This scene puzzled Luo Feng, who was sitting in a distant seat: "Gao Sheng, the price of a star system is between hundreds of billions and trillions of cosmic coins. This star field has a total of 668 star systems, so two or three hundred Chaos Units should be enough."

"Luo Feng, you're quite wealthy now. You can try to see if your 1 trillion cosmic coins from the Milky Way can buy it." Gao Sheng smiled. "Don't even mention the entire galaxy. Even if you only buy planets, one, two, ten, or a hundred are easy to find, but they're scattered. You want to buy thousands at once, and all together? That's not so easy."

"Luo Feng, what you're talking about is selling individual star systems!" Babata added, "But now, entire star regions are being sold! This is different; the price for a single star region would be much higher."

The numbers on the big screen were still rising.

"Speaking of planetary trading, Luo Feng, is Nuolanshan dead?" Gao Sheng suddenly asked telepathically.

"...Yes." Luo Feng looked at Gao Sheng.

"Just a few days ago, the current patriarch of the Nolan Mountain family, Yu Ke, sold most of his planets to my Wei Di family in order to gain my family's forgiveness, and then joined my Wei Di family as a guest elder." Gao Sheng looked at Luo Feng with a strange smile. "So I guess you're the one who killed Nolan Mountain."

"What!" Luo Feng exclaimed in surprise.

"The Nuolanshan family no longer exists. Yu Ke will simply be called Yu Ke, and his family will be called the Yu Ke family," Gao Sheng said calmly.

"But isn't Nuolanshan part of Baihulou?" Luo Feng asked, puzzled.

"No, Nuolanshan and his disciples are from Baihulou, but Yu Ke is not. Yu Ke is just from the Nuolanshan family."

Gao Sheng explained, "That Nolan Mountain is also from the Carlo Empire, but in reality, a small portion of the planets under his control are within the star system dominated by the Wei Di family. This person is unruly and ruthless, and with the Hundred Tigers Tower as his backer, he is considered an opponent of my Wei Di family."

"However, with Yu Ke's strength, how could he possibly support such a large territory after his death? Even if he wanted to join the four major organizations, they might not be willing to take him."

Luo Feng was puzzled. They didn't even want a cosmic-level weapon?

"Because his territory is all within the sphere of influence of the Weidi family, and Norlan Mountain was able to support itself before, his joining forces would not benefit the four major organizations, but would instead draw their attention. Therefore, joining forces with the Weidi family is his only wise choice, after all, the Carlo Empire has long been in decline."

Luo Feng understood, but...?

"If you still want revenge on Yu Ke, you can leave the Wei Di family. I can let you leave freely, but it will be impossible for you to rejoin," Gao Sheng said with a smile.

Luo Feng thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "No need, I have no intention of revenge."

Gao Sheng nodded: "Okay."

Luo Feng understood perfectly well that Nuolanshan hadn't actually done anything wrong. In the universe, it's all about competition! He just happened to be competing on Earth.

Apart from the death of a few slaves in the universe, Earth suffered no losses; it only put Luo Feng and a few others under immense pressure.

Besides, Nuolanshan is dead, so there's no point in talking about hatred.

Even on another timeline, Luo Feng never took revenge on any other member of the Nuolanshan family, let alone the fact that Earth suffered no loss this time.

"1000 Chaotic Units, countdown three seconds, 3, 2, 1... Congratulations to guest number KBR38293, you have won the Tana Starfield and become its master!" The old man in the tortoise shell's voice boomed, "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! This auction officially begins!"
