Under the fierce bidding of the three major teams, the price of the Origin Mother Grass settled at 150 million Chaos Stones, with Aetherion winning the bid.
"I didn’t expect a major cosmic team alliance to be this rich." Elizabeth sighed. For just a piece of grass, they were willing to spend over a hundred million Chaos Stones.
"Haha, it’s because of their need. Even if there is a more valuable treasure in here, the Elemental King would pick the Origin Mother Grass." Nash explained.
Among the various races, the Elemental Race was the most sensitive to energy. In this place filled with dark energy, it could be said their power was severely impaired. Thus, no matter the price, Aetherion was willing to pay.
With the last item being sold, Primos stepped onto the stage and announced the end of the auction. Thanking everyone, he called all the others to meet and further discuss the coming expedition to the unexplored wild void area.
"Let’s go back..." Not included in the meeting, Nash took Camilla and Elizabeth back to the first floor.
Going back to the first floor, they continued their shopping spree. Knowing that Void Source Crystals didn’t have much value at a higher level, Nash was more generous and bought everything they fancied.
While they were shopping, the others were advertising their team alliances, hoping to recruit others. As the cosmic competition went on, they had already realized that they couldn’t thrive on their own. Be it a high-level team or a top-level team, they needed people to catch up.
Naturally, the Neon Star Alliance was also doing its best to recruit. They were just planning to open a dozen dark gates, and without enough people to stabilize the whole place, it would turn chaotic.
Joining the hustle and bustle, time began to pass in a blur.

Half a month later, everyone began to leave in droves, having completed what they came for.
Taking everyone back to the Neon Star Alliance, each returned to their duties like nothing had happened. Although the Altier Convention was over, it didn’t affect their daily life.
Returning to his territory, the first thing Nash did was take out the Mechanical Origin Heart and give it to Atom.
"Master... This..." Atom hesitated, knowing how precious the item was.
"Just take it. In this way, you could help me better."
"I see. Thank you, master. However, what about the universal runic system?" Taking the mechanical heart would interrupt his connection to the outside world. This means the virtual server and the universal runic system would be affected.
"Don’t worry, the other mechanical lifeforms should be able to take care of it temporarily. It’s okay even if it’s slow, as long as it works." It was more important for Atom to advance than the temporary disruption of the system.
"Then I shall do my best to absorb it quickly." Taking the Mechanical Origin Heart, Atom went into seclusion.

After dealing with Atom, Nash went to the back garden where Tsuka was situated.
"How have you been, Tsuka? Are you hungry?" Nash asked, stroking its head.
"I’m fine, master."
"Oh? Are you sure?" Nash teased, taking out the light origin ore he bought at the Altier Auction.
Attracted by the scent, Tsuka couldn’t help but thump its foot and wrap its trunk around his hands. "No, master. Tsuka is very hungry~."
"Alright, here you go."
Tossing the light origin ore, Tsuka wrapped it with its trunk, then popped it into its mouth. Feeling the massive energy explode in its body, Tsuka wobbled as if drunk and slowly collapsed on the ground.
"Sleep tight, I’ll give you more food later on." The light origin ore was a natural mineral food for light-type mysterious beasts like Tsuka. Besides the massive energy, it also contained special essence that could assist growth and evolution.
Settling Tsuka into a comfortable position, Nash went inside the dimensional space on its back.

Arriving inside, he saw the World Tree Origin already planted at the back of the castle. Although it was a sapling, it still stretched hundreds of meters tall.
"What do you think, Nash? Should we move it to another place?" Elizabeth asked.
"No, this is fine. The place is perfect."
No matter where it was planted, as long as it’s in the dimensional space, it’s all the same. Feeling the space was more stable, the energy more abundant, and the atmosphere more serene, he felt it was worth it.
"We really are lacking this kind of wonder," Camilla added.
The Eternal Castle Residence was good and all, but without any defining feature, it was like all their other residences. Now with the World Tree Origin, it felt more unique and homely.
"In the next auction, we can buy more of such things." Nash agreed. Turning toward the river, he noticed a few colors flashing by. "Is it the Rainbow Origin Fish?"
"Yes, it’s quite beautiful. Unfortunately, there are only a few of them." Elizabeth bent down, teasing the fish.
"Don’t worry, in a while they should multiply."
"Oh? How? Are you going to use Merit Source to accelerate their reproduction?"
The Rainbow Origin Fish was expensive for a reason. Besides its deliciousness, there were also many benefits from eating them. The more concerning issue is that it takes too long for them to reproduce.
It takes hundreds of years just for the second generation of them to be born, so filling the river with them was nothing more than a fantasy.
"You’ll see." Nash smiled mysteriously.
With his runic ability, he could tinker with these little fish’s reproductive ability. While shortening the cycle of reproduction, he could even shorten their growth. Of course, all of it would be for later, once he mastered more runic patterns. For now, these fish could only be ornamental.
After playing beside the river for a while, the three returned toward the castle to do some business. Having reached 100% of the bloodline transfusion, it was Nash’s turn to fulfill his promise.
Unfortunately, after working for days and nights, there was still no result. Nonetheless, if once wasn’t enough, he’d do it a hundred, a thousand, or even a million times. Anyway, it was not as if he wasn’t enjoying the process.
"Nash, you have to work a little harder~."
"Hiss~ Don’t be so naughty!"
"Please pay attention to this sister.~"
"I..."
