Chapter 716: The Celestial Capital!
TL: Etude
After some discussion, the Supremes, including the Master of the Primordial Era, began to formally implement their plan.
Simultaneously, they informed certain Children of the Era and Supreme-level princes about parts of their plan, instructing them to collect ordinary Supreme Treasures. Thus, the mission to collect innate treasures began!
At first, the Master of the Primordial Era and others kept a low profile, targeting some of the common large clans of the universe and high-level races, offering higher prices to purchase the innate treasures these races possessed.
To these races, there wasn’t much difference between innate treasures and acquired treasures—they were all Supreme Treasures! In this era of the universe, there wasn’t a clear distinction between innate and acquired treasures; everything was classified into three levels: ordinary Supreme Treasures, top-tier Supreme Treasures, and strongest Supreme Treasures.
Therefore, in their eyes, all Supreme Treasures were weapons with similar effects.
So, when the Master of the Primordial Era and his associates offered higher prices for the innate treasures, these races were naturally happy to make the exchange, seeing it as a profitable deal.
Moreover, the Master of the Primordial Era even offered additional resources, which made these races even more eager to comply.
As time passed, the Master of the Primordial Era collected some innate treasures.
Unfortunately, the number of innate treasures in the entire universe was very limited. The Master of the Primordial Era and others needed to collect the innate treasures from this era of the universe; treasures from other eras were useless, equivalent to acquired treasures.Three hundred years later.
The Supremes held another meeting to discuss their progress.
“This won’t work, the speed is too slow. We have only been approaching some common large clans of the universe and high-level races. Too few of these races possess innate treasures, and some of the so-called innate treasures are rumored to be fake. The true innate treasures of this universe are mostly held by the powerful large clans of the universe, the Immortal Race, the Demon Race, and some scattered Supremes. It’s time to trade with some of the powerful large clans of the universe!” proposed the Master of the Primordial Era.
“If we do that, the Immortal and Demon Races will become aware and suspicious,” one of the Supremes questioned.
“Let them be suspicious. As long as they are willing to trade, it won’t be a problem. If the Immortal and Demon Races are unwilling to trade, other large clans of the universe will be happy to. As long as they are willing to trade innate treasures, no price is too high!” responded the Master of the Primordial Era.
“Very well, each of us will be responsible for negotiating with a large clan of the universe!” declared the Heavenly Venerable of Golden Light.
“Agreed!” the Supremes nodded in agreement.
In the territory of the Human Race, there was a giant city located at the edge, named the Celestial Capital.
The Celestial Capital was a very prosperous place, one of the few areas where the Human Race allowed other races to enter.
In this city, there were many different races present, including those that did not have good relations with the Human Race.
Although the Celestial Capital was built by the Human Race, it had its own set of rules. Once anyone entered the Celestial Capital, they were not allowed to fight each other.
In fact, even the high-ranking members of the Human Race could not violate the rules of the Celestial Capital.
Because of this, other races dared to enter, which contributed to the prosperity of the city.
The Human Race established the Celestial Capital to facilitate trade with other races. After all, no single race had all the resources they needed, and some resources the Human Race lacked had to be obtained from other races.
The Celestial Capital housed many businesses and trade companies from other races, allowing powerful individuals to purchase resources from these races, while other races could obtain Human Race resources and treasures in the city.
In summary, the Celestial Capital was a small-scale trading hub for all races.
Not only did the Human Race have such a place, but most other races had similar hubs.
On this particular day…
A masked Supreme arrived at the Celestial Capital, causing an immediate stir.
Upon entering, he went straight to the highest tier trading area and presented a top-tier Supreme Treasure, one of the highest grade within top-tier treasures, just below the strongest Supreme Treasures.
When this Supreme announced that he was willing to exchange this highest grade top-tier Supreme Treasure for any innate treasure of the top-tier level, even if its power was weaker, it shocked the entire Celestial Capital.
Soon, the high-ranking members of the Human Race became aware of this.
However, this Supreme hid his identity, emanating only a trace of supreme aura, making it impossible to determine his true identity.
Given the high status of a Supreme, naturally, no one dared to target him.
If it had been just one top-tier Supreme Treasure, it wouldn’t have caused such a stir among the Human Race. But this Supreme presented several top-tier Supreme Treasures, all with the same exchange requirement, making it a seemingly losing deal.
Thus, the high-ranking members of the Human Race had to take notice.
In the Holy City, five or six Supremes temporarily sent their avatars to discuss the matter. Kunwu Supreme was absent, but Curse Supreme was present.
“Everyone, you should all be aware of what’s happening in the Celestial Capital. We don’t know which race that Supreme belongs to, but he is using the highest grade top-tier Supreme Treasures to exchange for top-tier innate treasures, regardless of their quality. This is definitely a losing deal! Even within top-tier Supreme Treasures, there are varying levels of quality!”
“Could it be a trap?”
“It’s not a trap. The Celestial Capital is our Human Race’s territory. If an alien Supreme dared to cause trouble, they wouldn’t escape!”
“If it’s not a trap, why would someone conduct such a strange trade?”
“No matter what, we should go and take a look. Divine Blade Supreme, you go and check it out. After all, your Divine Blade Alliance is good at commerce. If there’s no issue, you can make the trade!”
Divine Blade Supreme pondered for a moment and said, “Alright, I will go and take a look. If there’s a problem, be ready to act!”
“No problem!” the other Supremes responded.
With a swish, Divine Blade Supreme’s avatar dissipated.
Shortly after, his avatar arrived at the Celestial Capital.
Without knowing the situation, Divine Blade Supreme naturally wouldn’t send his true body; an avatar was sufficient to handle the matter.
As soon as he entered the Celestial Capital, Divine Blade Supreme sensed the presence of that Supreme.
“This is….” Divine Blade Supreme was shocked.
Although the other’s aura was hidden, the trace he could sense was far beyond his imagination, definitely not an ordinary Supreme, possibly even stronger than Primordial Supreme!
“Could it be a member of the Immortal or Demon Races? No, the aura doesn’t belong to their Supremes….” In an instant, Divine Blade Supreme understood.
This was a Supreme from one of the Twelve Cosmic Eras! “May I know which Supreme from the Twelve Cosmic Eras you are?” Divine Blade Supreme asked from afar.
“The Second Cosmic Era, Tian’en Supreme!” Tian’en Supreme appeared before Divine Blade Supreme and said.
“So it’s Tian’en Supreme. May I know why you have come to the Human Race’s Celestial Capital?” Divine Blade Supreme asked cautiously.
Tian’en Supreme took out his top-tier Supreme Treasure and said, “To trade!”
