Reborn with Infinite System Points, I Gathered All SSS Classes!

Chapter 347: Chapter347-Another Buyout

As far as John was concerned, any treasure compatible with his cultivation path had to become his.

He then checked the item’s price.

[Space-Time Origin Scroll]

[Starting Bid]: 1 billion cubic units of Originstone

[Minimum Bid Increment]: 1 billion cubic units of Originstone

...

At the same time, the eyes of every High God lit up after they finished reading the treasure’s information.

Even those who had never touched upon the Origin Laws of Time and Space could recognize how valuable its effects were.

This treasure was exceptionally effective against enemies who cultivated the Space-Time Law and could also break through the formations and restrictions they created.

Possessing the scroll would effectively negate advantages that an opponent had spent centuries cultivating.

Aldric’s face immediately lit up with delight.

He turned toward Edmund and Kaine.

"This treasure would be extremely useful to all three of us."

"What do you think? Would either of you like to compete with me for it?"

Edmund nodded and answered calmly,

"With effects this powerful, I naturally want it."

"Cedric’s abilities have always countered mine."

"If I obtain this scroll, I will no longer have to fear the restrictions created by his Spatial Origin Law."

"Perhaps my ranking could even rise by another place."

Kaine merely smiled.

His expression was filled with absolute confidence in his own strength as he waved dismissively.

"I have no interest in this treasure."

"You two may compete for it yourselves."

Aldric nodded immediately.

"In that case, we will submit our own bids."

"May the highest bidder win."

The moment he finished speaking, Aldric decisively placed the first bid.

He raised the price directly to twenty billion cubic units of Originstone!

Edmund did not immediately follow.

He intended to wait and see whether another powerhouse would raise the price first.

Morado of Evernight Palace submitted a bid almost immediately—and when he acted, he offered an enormous amount.

"Fifty billion cubic units of Originstone!"

Rather than slowly competing with Aldric, he more than doubled the previous offer in a single move.

Within the Shadow Divine Court, Gudek looked solemnly toward Cedric.

"We cannot allow anyone else to obtain this treasure."

"It must belong to us."

"If someone else acquires it, the Spatial Origin Law you cultivate will become ineffective against them."

"You would naturally lose nearly half your combat strength and have almost no chance of defeating that person."

Cedric naturally understood this.

However, he wore a bitter expression.

"The problem is that I do not have enough Originstone left."

"If this becomes a prolonged bidding war, I will definitely lose to them."

His true intention was to wait until the three required bidding rounds had ended.

If the Buyout price was not too high, he would purchase the scroll outright.

Gudek smiled faintly.

"That does not matter. I can lend you enough Originstone."

"We both belong to the Shadow Divine Court. During this Myriad Worlds Tournament, we must secure a high ranking for our faction."

"Otherwise, once the Apocalypse Tribulation descends, cultivators like us will be no different from ants."

"Only by strengthening ourselves will we have any chance of surviving that terrifying calamity."

Cedric immediately nodded without standing on ceremony.

"Very well. I will remember this favor."

Among powerhouses of the same faction, owing such a favor was far more significant than borrowing Originstone from an outsider.

It represented a karmic debt.

Cedric’s immediate acceptance also demonstrated the depth of his trust in Gudek.

Just as he finished speaking, another bid notification rang beside his ears.

[Bidder No. 7 has offered 60 billion cubic units of Originstone!]

The bidder was Kelvin.

He felt no reluctance whatsoever about placing a bid of sixty billion.

Regardless of who ultimately obtained the treasure, he intended to force the winner to pay a higher price.

Morris of the Demon King Council immediately raised the bid.

"Eighty billion cubic units of Originstone!"

His reasoning was the same.

The higher the ordinary bidding price rose, the more Originstone the eventual Buyout price would require.

Edmund also acted without hesitation.

"Ninety billion cubic units of Originstone!"

Then Duran of the Tower of Myriad Treasures joined the competition.

"One hundred billion cubic units of Originstone!"

The price had now reached an astonishing one hundred billion Originstone.

As the various factions continued raising the price, the required three rounds of bidding were completed almost immediately.

The Buyout option was unlocked.

[The Buyout price for this treasure has been unlocked. Participants may now inspect it!]

Everyone’s spirits rose as they hurriedly checked the amount.

Cedric focused his gaze upon it, and his pupils abruptly contracted.

[Buyout Price: 300 billion cubic units of Originstone]

The newly revealed price was a staggering three hundred billion!

It was two hundred billion higher than the current bid.

Even if Cedric combined all his remaining wealth with Gudek’s, the two of them still could not afford it.

A bitter smile appeared on his face.

Forget it.

For the treasures that appeared later, it would be better to participate in ordinary bidding wars.

Relying on the Buyout option was simply beyond his means.

However, if even their combined wealth was insufficient, there should not be anyone present capable of producing three hundred billion Originstone at once and purchasing the scroll outright.

Just as that thought crossed his mind, another bidder raised the price first.

"One hundred and fifty billion cubic units of Originstone!"

The price had suddenly risen by another fifty billion.

Such an astonishing offer immediately shocked everyone present.

Many participants already found the amount intimidating.

Who had such enormous wealth?

How could someone casually raise the price to such a terrifying level?

High Gods like Kelvin, who had joined merely to disrupt the auction and inflate the price, immediately stopped bidding.

Satisfied smiles appeared on their faces.

They had already accomplished their objective.

The cost of acquiring the treasure had been driven up to one hundred and fifty billion Originstone.

Most High Gods would have to empty their entire fortunes to produce such a sum.

Now that their goal had been achieved, they naturally withdrew while they were still ahead.

As for those who genuinely wished to continue competing for the Space-Time Origin Scroll, they were equally horrified by the offer.

One hundred and fifty billion cubic units of Originstone was wealth that many of them could not accumulate over an entire lifetime.

It was no insignificant amount.

The price was already approaching the Buyout cost of the previous treasure.

Anyone wishing to continue would probably have to offer more than two hundred billion Originstone.

Continuing to raise the price was no longer worth it.
