"Everyone doesn’t have to worry. We’ve already done a preliminary scan of the place; there shouldn’t be any loose Tier 9 dark beasts. If things turn out unexpectedly, we will use the Altier Arcane Cannon." Primos said, easing the atmosphere.
"So that’s the case. We are willing to venture out, Lord Primos."
"We also want to join you."
"Count us in, Lord Primos."
Hearing that the major teams were willing to use the Altier Arcane Cannon, every top-level team stepped forward without hesitation. This was the ultimate weapon of the Altier Arcane Tower, capable of blasting a tier 9 dark beast possessing a planetary domain. Against an ordinary tier 9 dark beast, it was even a little overkill.
"Altier Arcane Cannon..." Watching the scene, Nash was also tempted to join.
The Altier Arcane Cannon was a weapon that could only be accessed after passing the 1000th floor. It was the ultimate weapon that Major Teams used to occupy a forbidden domain.
Of course, using the Altier Arcane Cannon was not cheap either. Besides the first shot, which was free, subsequent shots could cost an arm and a leg. The energy needed to load it up was no longer common energy stones like void source crystals, but chaos stones. This was something that even a tier 9 Planetary Seedling coveted.
Just when Nash was about to step forward and join the campaign, he held back the urge in his heart. "It’s still too dangerous."
Unlike the other top-level teams, the foundation of the Neon Star Alliance was too shallow. Once a few core talents died, their strength would regress. Whereas for the others, with their massive foundations, they could completely bear the cost.
While Nash stopped in his tracks, almost all top-level teams stepped forward to join. Even high-level teams wanted to gamble and attached themselves to others for the chance to join.
An unexplored wild void area was truly a treasure trove that could change one’s fate. While there were many special and legendary resources that could be found in the currently explored wild void area, those were only common ones that could be regularly nurtured by the universe. For those truly precious resources, once they were gone, they were gone forever.
Soon, after everyone decided whether to join or not, Primos began to discuss various follow-up matters. From when and where they’ll gather, the contribution system, the various phases of the plan, etc. Listening with interest, Nash thought of joining the campaign once the Neon Star Alliance accumulated more foundation.
After the discussion concluded, Primos announced that everyone could begin to trade freely. This was what most cosmic elites came here for: to trade.
Browsing through various products for sale, Nash quickly lost interest. It’s not that there weren’t any good items, but simply because they were no longer useful to him. As for the items that could help strengthen the territory, Julius and the other leaders had already been scouring them.
Suddenly, while Nash, Camilla, and Elizabeth were shopping leisurely, a mechanical being approached them.
"Supreme Leader Nash, are you free right now? The Altier Auction would begin shortly."
"Oh? An Altier Auction? There’s even this kind of benefit?"
Before, probably because the Neon Star Alliance’s status was too low, he hadn’t been invited. Following the mechanical being, they quickly arrived at the second floor.

Altier Arcane Tower, Grand Auction Hall:
Taking a seat, he saw that there were no more than 25,000 individuals in the auction. It seemed that besides being from the top-level teams, one also had to have passed the 100th floor trial.
After waiting for a while, the organizer of the auction, Primos, arrived.
"Pleasure to meet you again. Please bear with my appearance; I hope I don’t bore you." Primos joked.
In terms of ranking, he might be the lowest among the seven. However, when it comes to influence and military force, Primos came out on top.
As a top mechanical being, the number of tier 8 battleships under his command was uncountable. He could even mobilize every weapon within the mechanical race as though it were his own body. If an all-out war happened, they could even take on all the major teams without losing. Fortunately, they were an absolutely neutral force.
"First of all, welcome to the Altier Auction. For newcomers who aren’t aware of the rules, this auction only accepts chaos stones or barter. I will estimate the value of the item you present and tell you its worth in chaos stones. It’s up to you whether to proceed with the transaction or not."
"Now, to warm up the auction, let me present a special item, the Mechanical Origin Heart."
"As expected, it’s this item again! This time I’m guaranteed to win it!"
"Hmph! It depends on who has more money."
"No, it’s mine!"
Mechanical Origin Heart, a special resource among the mechanical race that could increase potential and directly push a mechanical being’s ascension to the tier 8 realm!
Known as a neutral race with absolute loyalty, every cosmic team had a mechanical being as a subordinate. Whether it’s the pilot of their battleship, a virtual manager, or even a planetary guardian, a mechanical being is infinitely valuable.
Nash perked up as well, staring at the Mechanical Origin Heart with keen interest. Atom was not only his pilot, a part-time manager of the Neon Star Virtual Server, but also the backbone of the universal module system.
Lately, due to the overwhelming amount of data, various mechanical beings had even joined in to help process the data flowing into the virtual world and the universal runic system. With the passing of time, he estimated they would soon be overwhelmed again.
If he had this Mechanical Heart, Atom could advance to a tier 8 mechanical being, evolving into a fully intelligent life form with infinite calculation power.
"Now, let the bidding start! The starting price is 10,000 chaos stones!" Not wasting any time, Primos opened the bidding.
To bid for the treasure, they only needed to place the item they wished to exchange into the space chamber embedded in the chair, while the mechanical detector would assess its value, which they could then use to bid.
"15,000 chaos stones!"
"17,000 chaos stones!"
"22,000 chaos stones!"
"30,000 chaos stones! Hmph, this is mine!"
While everyone was bidding fiercely, Nash examined the space chamber to see how it worked. Putting in an ordinary void source crystal, it didn’t even prompt a value.
[Insufficient Value]
"What about soul crystals?"
