Chapter 483 – Half a Year Later, One Billion Origin Energy Deposited!
by spirapiraChapter 483 – Half a Year Later, One Billion Origin Energy Deposited!
A complete first-tier deity corpse!?
Upon hearing this bid, Su Xing was stunned.
The crowd of first-tier deities below were also stunned…
All the deities, without prior agreement, turned their gazes toward a certain direction.
There, they saw a newly appeared figure.
Standing roughly one zhang (3.33 m) tall, with an unusually large head the size of a bushel, the entire skull taking up half the body’s proportions.
“Tu’nah Chief God!”
“It’s Lord Greed…”
In an instant, the several hundred deities present all bowed in that direction.
Su Xing was momentarily stunned as well. He hadn’t expected that the auction he organized would actually attract two chief gods of the Void Realm!
Yes, Talong Chief God had also come!
Beside Tu’nah Chief God, that mountain-like Amalgamated Beast was none other than Talong Chief God in transformed form.
Tu’nah Chief God’s figure hovered in the air, slowly drifting above the auction venue as he spoke:
“This first-tier deity corpse, in exchange for one of your lesser demon deities — how about it?”
After hearing this, Su Xing swallowed hard. With one of the Seven Deadly Sins, the Chief God of Greed, personally making an offer, how could Su Xing dare refuse?
He hurriedly replied:
“Naturally, I’m willing… It is my honor to contribute to our race!”
With that, Su Xing issued a command to the lesser demon deity, and the creature obediently followed alongside Tu’nah Chief God.
Tu’nah Chief God gave a slight nod upon hearing this, then added:
“Gluttony also wishes to purchase one of your lesser demon deities… at the same price as mine. What do you say?”
“Of course, this lesser demon deity can be delivered within a hundred years.”
Su Xing’s eyes lit up at this, and he quickly nodded in agreement.
Two lesser demon deities — that price amounted to one hundred million origin energy!
Clearly, a single lesser demon deity was not worth as much as a first-tier deity.
But after all, this first-tier deity was merely a corpse, whereas a lesser demon deity could truly play a major role on the battlefield!
Not far away, Talong Chief God felt slightly displeased upon hearing Tu’nah Chief God’s words.
After all, in his mind, the concept of “trade” did not exist.
If you wanted something, you simply took it by force!
But since Tu’nah Chief God had personally made the promise, Talong Chief God couldn’t very well object.
So he opened his massive jaws, and a black sphere the size of a water vat dropped down beside Su Xing.
Su Xing was startled for a moment. After carefully sensing it, his expression shifted subtly.
He then deployed spatial laws to store the black pearl into a pocket dimension.
Two chief gods had personally appeared and purchased two lesser demon deities from Su Xing’s hands.
Now, Su Xing only had one remaining lesser demon deity slot left.
As a result, the competition at the auction grew even fiercer!
In the end, two Peak first-tier deity foreign race members joined forces and purchased the final slot at a price of 56,000 jin (28,000 kg) of True God blood essence!
With that, Su Xing’s first auction came to a perfect conclusion!
After the auction ended, Su Xing began collecting full deposits and symbolically issued promises and contracts.
These contracts held little binding power — they were more of a gesture by Su Xing, the Lord of the Lesser Demons, indicating he wouldn’t renege on his word.
…
Several days later, within Su Xing’s small world.
By now, the number of lesser demons in the small world had already surpassed five hundred thousand.
In no more than another half year, the count would reach one million, completing the first-year quota assigned by the foreign races.
Meanwhile, Su Xing was gleefully tallying the spoils from his first auction.
“All grades of blood essence combined… over a million jin (500,000 kg)!”
“Total value: seven hundred and thirty million origin energy!”
Su Xing took a deep breath, calming his excitement.
Five hundred million lesser demon cannon fodder slots, plus two lesser demon deity slots, had sold for over seven hundred million origin energy!
This money was simply too easy to earn!
In fact, Su Xing had no intention whatsoever of actually releasing these lesser demon cannon fodder later.
After all, in just a few years at most, Su Xing planned to make his escape!
“Tsk tsk… If I’d known origin energy was this easy to earn, I would’ve sold a hundred billion lesser demon cannon fodder slots!”
The corner of Su Xing’s mouth curved upward as he quipped half-jokingly.
But he also knew that one billion lesser demon cannon fodder slots was roughly the upper limit.
Any more than that, and with Su Xing’s identity as the Lord of the Lesser Demons, he probably wouldn’t be able to justify commanding that many.
“Over seven hundred million origin energy! That’s probably enough for all my simulation needs for the coming year!”
Su Xing was deeply satisfied as he gazed at the numbers on his simulation panel.
Remaining origin energy: 867,504,396 points!
A full eight hundred million-plus origin energy, once again shattering Su Xing’s personal record!
Looking at the origin energy on his panel, Su Xing suddenly remembered something and pulled out that enormous black pearl.
“The aura of this thing… feels somewhat familiar!”
Su Xing narrowed his eyes. From this black pearl, he sensed an energy that was nearly at the level of origin!
One had to understand — even the blood essence of a first-tier deity only approached origin-level, which was precisely why it was so valuable.
But from this black pearl, Su Xing directly sensed the aura of origin itself.
A conjecture formed in Su Xing’s mind.
Unable to confirm it for the moment, Su Xing tried using the simulator to absorb the black pearl.
A Chime notification appeared before Su Xing’s eyes.
【Ding — detected “Aberrant World Origin.” Value: 51,350,000 origin energy… Absorb?】
“World origin!”
Su Xing’s heart stirred as he finally understood what this thing was.
On the notification panel, beneath “Aberrant World Origin,” there was an additional line of description.
【Aberrant World Origin】: Originally the embodiment of a small world’s “world will,” serving as the world origin… After processing by the Talong Clan and blending with a portion of blood essence, it became the primary food source of the Talong Clan, containing vast amounts of origin energy.
Reading the text before him, Su Xing’s face showed a deeply moved expression.
“World origin… combined with blood essence? This…”
Upon further reflection, Su Xing quickly grasped the intention behind Tu’nah Chief God’s gesture!
This black pearl contained massive amounts of Origin Force. For any foreign race deity, it was a priceless treasure capable of rapidly boosting one’s strength!
And Tu’nah Chief God, by offering another’s treasure as a gift, was clearly recognizing Su Xing’s potential and extending goodwill.
By the same logic, the first-tier deity corpse that Tu’nah Chief God had traded was also part of this strategy!
Was a lesser demon deity truly worth fifty million origin energy?
Su Xing suspected it probably wasn’t…
The reason Tu’nah Chief God had inflated the price was that he valued the person behind it — Su Xing, the “Lord of the Lesser Demons”!
With this gesture of goodwill established, in future matters of “choosing sides,” Su Xing would naturally be aligned with Greed and Gluttony!
“Tsk tsk… truly worthy of being the Clan Leader of the Tuna Tribe… well-versed in the laws of destiny divination, with wisdom that is indeed exceptional among the foreign races!”
Su Xing sighed with admiration.
Tu’nah Chief God’s open stratagem was indeed impossible to avoid.
However, what he could never have anticipated was that Su Xing didn’t stand with the foreign races at all, and would never fulfill any of these promises.
In the end, all these first-tier deity transactions would amount to nothing more than money thrown into the water!
“Tsk tsk… regardless, the origin energy in hand is the real deal!”
“With this massive sum of origin energy… there’s no urgency for the next year or two!”
Su Xing nodded with satisfaction and casually converted the black pearl into origin energy.
With this, the total origin energy in Su Xing’s possession finally surpassed nine hundred million!
“Phew… with enough origin energy, it’s time for another explosive growth period in strength!”
“The next auction will be in three months…”
Su Xing nodded slightly. There were still five hundred million lesser demons left to auction.
Within the coming year, Su Xing would continue to have a quite stable stream of energy income.
…
While Su Xing was executing his plans in full swing, half a year passed in the blink of an eye!
Time quickly arrived at July of the year 2028, New Era, on the Earth calendar.
A few days after Su Xing had just finished holding his third auction, he received a divine domain transmission from Red Moon.
The content of the transmission was that He was about to resurrect, and the time had come for Earth and the nearby small worlds to change ownership.
Upon receiving the message, Su Xing immediately left the Void Realm and headed in the direction of Earth.
After traveling through the void for a week, once Su Xing confirmed there was no danger in the surrounding area, he transformed back into his true form, then traveled for another three days before temporarily stopping.
At this point, Su Xing was only about a week’s journey from Earth.
“It’s finally time! The moment to take back Earth…”
Su Xing’s heart surged with emotion. As long as he could take Earth back from Red Moon’s hands, he would have no more worries.
At the very least, his family and friends, and even the entire human race on Earth, would no longer have to worry about the disaster of foreign races.
When that time came, the world would be vast enough for Su Xing, and he would have a place to call home no matter where he went.
“However, before officially taking over Earth, some preparations are still needed!”
Su Xing turned his gaze to his attribute panel.
Half a year of accumulation and over ten simulations had once again brought significant improvements to Su Xing’s strength.

【Remaining Origin Energy: 1,087,690,000…】
【Remaining Simulation Attempts: 5】
Over the past half year, Su Xing had gone out roughly once every month and a half.
He would transform into his true form in a safe location, then exhaust his stored simulation attempts.
Over the half year, he had simulated a total of nineteen times, and his improvement in strength was nothing short of enormous.
His Qi Refinement cultivation had risen from the late second layer of Supreme Unity to the peak of the third layer of Supreme Unity.
In the Supreme Unity realm, the further one progressed, the greater the difficulty. Su Xing had been stuck at the peak of the third layer for two simulations already.
He estimated that by the next simulation, he should be able to break through to mid-stage Supreme Unity Golden Immortal!
When that happened, Su Xing’s strength would see yet another significant boost.
As for his Body Tempering cultivation, Su Xing’s Great Shaman Body Forging Art had broken through to Minor Mastery early on, and the Celestial Primordial Tree within his body had finally risen to three hundred zhang (999 m).
Beyond that, over the half year, Su Xing’s supernatural arts and techniques had also seen considerable improvement.
By combining the Yin-Yang and Five Elements Great Daos, the supernatural arts Su Xing had derived—Yin-Yang Reversal and Yin-Yang Five Elements Immortal Burst—had both advanced from the beginner stage to Minor Mastery.
In alchemy and Formation Dao, Su Xing had improved in both areas.
But the greatest progress of all was in Su Xing’s mastery of the Spirit Domain!
Through the accumulation of over ten simulations, Su Xing’s Spirit Domain range had expanded to an astonishing 420,000 li (210,000 km)!
Furthermore, as early as three months ago, Su Xing’s comprehension of the Great Dao of Space had already entered sixth realm Minor Mastery.
Now, he was steadily advancing toward sixth realm Major Mastery of the Great Dao of Space.
As for talents, Su Xing had gained three new red-grade talents.
Three Thousand Dao Physique, Annihilation Holy Physique… and Heaven and Earth Devourer!
【Three Thousand Dao Physique】: Red mythical-grade talent. You possess astonishing affinity and comprehension for the Dao. Your unique physique allows you to simultaneously accommodate numerous Great Daos.
【Annihilation Holy Physique】: Red mythical-grade talent. Where yin and yang divide, life and death are revealed. In annihilation, your comprehension of the Great Dao of Life and Death is greatly enhanced.
【Heaven and Earth Devourer】: Red mythical-grade talent. You possess an astonishing digestive ability, capable of devouring all matter containing energy to enhance your own strength.
These three red talents were what Su Xing had drawn over the past half year.
Among them, Three Thousand Dao Physique and Su Xing’s previously obtained Innate Dao Physique complemented each other to a certain degree.
Under the enhancement of both Dao physiques, Su Xing’s comprehension of the Great Dao had improved significantly once more.
At the same time, Three Thousand Dao Physique gave Su Xing the aptitude to accommodate even more Great Daos simultaneously.
Originally, Su Xing was already struggling somewhat with simultaneously mastering ten Great Dao laws.
To comprehend additional Great Daos, the time required would have grown exponentially.
But with this talent, the difficulty of comprehending multiple Great Daos simultaneously had been reduced by more than just a single tier.
The second red talent Su Xing had drawn, Annihilation Holy Physique, was also extraordinarily remarkable.
The Great Daos of Death and Life were supreme Daos—truly pinnacle Great Daos.
With this talent, Su Xing’s chances of comprehending these two pinnacle Great Daos in the future were greatly increased.
As for the last red talent, Heaven and Earth Devourer—
It was the superior version of Su Xing’s previous gold talent, Heaven Devourer.
With Heaven and Earth Devourer, Su Xing’s Body Tempering cultivation progressed far more smoothly, and the improvement speed of the Great Shaman Body Forging Art had increased by at least fifty percent!
After all, this talent allowed Su Xing to extract more vital energy from all manner of precious materials and blood essence to strengthen himself.
Of course, Su Xing had also tried devouring an entire mountain, or even a vast expanse of land.
It did have an effect, allowing his physical body to grow marginally stronger.
But devouring an entire mountain range stretching a thousand li (500 km) produced results inferior to even a hundred jin (50 kg) of blood essence from a second-tier deity.
After all, whether in terms of energy purity or quality, the two were simply incomparable.
“Before I even realized it, I’ve accumulated fifty-six talents!”
“With the enhancement of all these talents, I can truly be called a numerical monster now!”
Su Xing wore a confident expression.
Although his cultivation had not yet entered mid-stage Supreme Unity Golden Immortal, and his Great Shaman Body Forging Art was only at Minor Mastery—
Su Xing was confident that his current overall strength had absolutely reached the level of a Supreme Unity True Master!
This meant that among all the Supreme Unity Golden Immortals in the world, those who could defeat Su Xing numbered no more than fifty.
Even counting the Great Firmament Golden Immortals, Su Xing estimated that his combat power could easily place him in the top sixty to seventy among the human race.
The reason for such confidence was naturally the Spirit Domain!
Currently, the Spirit Domain’s enhancement of Su Xing could elevate his spatial Dao to sixth realm Major Mastery and sustain it for over one hour.
Under the Spirit Domain’s enhancement, it was no exaggeration to say that Su Xing could cross hundreds of millions of li in the blink of an eye.
“Half a year… my overall strength has climbed an entire major tier!”
“Such improvement naturally came at no small cost!”
Su Xing murmured, glancing at his remaining origin energy.
1,087,000,000 origin energy!
That was actually over 100 million more than half a year ago.
But over the past half year, Su Xing had conducted two auctions, selling 300 million lesser demon fodder, and on top of that, the second payment of blood essence from the foreign races had arrived—bringing in nearly 500 million origin energy in total.
Thus, over the half year, Su Xing had spent close to 400 million origin energy to achieve such improvements!
“Tsk tsk… once I’ve sold off all the lesser demon fodder, there won’t be nearly as much origin energy coming in!”
“The remaining origin energy probably won’t be enough for both my Body Tempering and Qi Refinement to break into Great Firmament Golden Immortal…”
“But fortunately, the Red Moon plan has already begun. If it succeeds, another huge sum of origin energy will be coming in!”
Half a year ago, Su Xing had begun secretly leaking information.
The newly risen Lord of the Lesser Demons—that is, Su Xing—and the first-generation Red Moon were the closest of friends, with extensive trade dealings between them.
And the Lord of the Lesser Demons would dispatch an army of fifty million lesser demons in support after Red Moon’s resurrection!
Now, half a year had passed, and Red Moon was about to fully resurrect.
Su Xing didn’t know whether the current Lord of Slaughter, the second-generation Red Moon, had learned of this information.
But what Su Xing wanted was naturally for the conflict between the two generations of the Lord of Slaughter to intensify.
When that happened, Su Xing could also find ways to extract benefits from the second-generation Red Moon.
Forget 3 billion origin energy—even 1 billion would leave Su Xing more than satisfied!
“Half a year of refinement… beyond the improvement in my true form’s strength, what’s equally critical is the lesser demon disguise’s comprehension of spatial laws!”
A smile tugged at the corner of Su Xing’s lips.
Over the half year, through more than twenty simulations and leveraging massive amounts of the power of faith, he had elevated his spatial laws to the peak of sixth realm Minor Mastery—just one step away from sixth realm Major Mastery!
“One more simulation, and my spatial laws will break into sixth realm Major Mastery!”
“When that happens, I’ll be able to store the entire Earth into a pocket dimension and deceive Red Moon!”
After a pause, Su Xing murmured:
“Of course, I also want to test… after half a year, how much of a gap remains between me and Red Moon.”
“I still have five simulation attempts left. Before meeting Red Moon, I’ll use them all!”
Su Xing silently chanted:
“Begin simulation!”
