Despite their willingness to cooperate, Green Fire and Immobile Mountain still failed to outbid Martial Will. This made them realize that someone must be helping Martial Will.
After he sold his last item and received the divine crystals for it, Loki smiled and said, "I hope everyone was satisfied."
Even though she didn’t get to buy anything, Green Fire said, "I am very satisfied. I didn’t get anything, but it was entertaining."
Immobile Mountain, with a sneer on his face, said, "I just hope that the people who bought your goods won’t run out of divine crystals soon. Because if they do, there is nowhere else to get divine crystals from except you."
"At that time, without divine crystals to maintain their stars, they would cease to be Dao Lords and would die. At the very least, they will fall in status back to your level."
"In that case, it will be their lives against yours. I wonder what they would be willing to do to recover their divine crystals."
Green Fire nodded in agreement and said, "And if, for some reason, they can’t get it from you, they will have to open up the Sea of Worlds so that the domain can stop dying. I wonder if they will allow super worlds to ascend when they are forced to open up the domain to external influence and enemies."
"Fortunately, we raised the price of those last two avatars on purpose so that you will be forced to pay more for them. I am just wondering how much the loss of so many divine crystals will have on you, especially since we might be fighting soon."
For those keen on hearing, these were all threats. They were warning Loki to watch out for them while threatening to kill him to force Tepid Scholar and the others.
Their threats were also for Tepid Scholar to hear, and they kept rambling on, insinuating what they would do if they weren’t allowed to help their worlds ascend.
Tepid Scholar ignored them and asked Loki, "What about the Formation Pathway? I want to buy it?"
Heavenly Eye also joined in, saying, "Where are my Supreme Metacs too? When will you sell them?"
Upon hearing these questions, Loki shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, someone else claimed ownership of them. They are no longer for sale."
Now that she had lost the Truth Pathway, she could no longer tell when someone was lying to her. His thoughts also didn’t give anything away, so she believed his claim.
Because of this, she asked him, "Who is it? I am sure that I can top their offer."
But Loki still shook his head as he said, "You of all people should know that I am a man of my word. If someone pays me for my services, I always deliver. It isn’t always about money, and in this case, it isn’t about money."
He thought he was reasonable enough, but Tepid Scholar and Heavenly Eye refused to accept his explanation. Tepid Scholar, in particular, was livid.
The usually calm scholar raised his voice in anger as he said, "You will pay for this."
Loki, having had enough, also said in anger, "What’s all the fuss about? Aren’t you one of the greatest beneficiaries of what I did?"
"Just a while ago, you had three pathways. Now you have four pathways, with one of them being a Cosmic Dao. So what are you complaining about?"
Then he said to Heavenly Eye, "You too, you’re one of the least people who has the right to complain right now. If anyone should complain, it should be Lord Black Chain."
Without waiting for a response from them, he said, "Anyway, I am satisfied with how the auction turned out. And that’s what’s important."
The auction was another small goal used to set up the floor for his main goal, with his main goal being advancing to rank 10 and becoming a Dao Lord.
Despite not having done it before, he is confident in his chances of becoming a Dao Lord. In fact, he doesn’t think that there is anyone more qualified than him to become a Dao Lord.
Be that as it may, he has some qualms about the process. His main concern is how much external influence during the process can affect him.
Of course, he is also worried about being ambushed as soon as he finishes advancing and enters the third heaven. But if someone can interfere and make him fail the process of advancing, then what will happen to him in the third heaven after his advancement will not be a problem at the end of the day.
In order to curb the problem of the interference before it becomes a problem, he set up the auction and made one of the currencies needed to purchase his goods years of protection.
The auction’s job is twofold. It is to stop some Dao Lords from interfering in his advancement by recruiting them. And it is to stop the Dao Lords he can’t recruit from interfering by using the ones he recruited to stop them.
In light of these goals, he managed to recruit five Dao Lords. These five also happen to be the strongest Dao Lords in the Sea of Worlds. Because of the auction, these five won’t interfere with his advancement, but will instead stop the other three Dao Lords, whom he failed to recruit, from interfering with his advancement.
So yes, he was satisfied with the result of the auction. Like a farmer, instead of eating his seeds, which are the avatars and Supreme Metacs of some Dao Lords, he planted them.
As it turned out, those seeds can bear fruit the instant they were planted and will continue doing so for the next 20 years. So, even though he just planted the seeds, it was already time to reap the rewards.
As he thought of this, he smiled and said to the sky, "I will be advancing in a moment. I hope you will do your best to assist me."
