Chapter 1514: An Old Customer!
"Hello, store owner," Ziro emotionally greeted Aakesh after it was finally his turn to reach the store owner.
"How have you been, Ziro?" Aakesh responded, unlike his usual response to introductions. That had to do with the identity of the man in front of Aakesh.
Ziro was entering the store for the first time, but he and Aakesh had already met before, as Ziro was one of the many customers who were lucky enough to get summoned by the system.
Ziro belonged to the Kordo race, one of the mid-tier races of the Primal Dimension, and Ziro was the only member of the race to ascend to the Sacred Dimension.
Ziro stood at a height of six feet, which wasn't very much when considering the overall races, but Ziro was the tallest of his race. His body was covered in glowing blue fur, while his eyes followed the combination of light-blue sclera and black pupils.

"This is a Continuous Power-Up Pill. If you eat this pill, your cultivation will keep increasing by one sub-level every year until you have reached the peak Heavenly Monarch cultivation level."
"This is a Heavenly Compatibility Pill. If you eat this pill, your body constitution will change, and your compatibility with the five elements will each rise to perfection."
"This is the embryo of an Ice King. If you combine your soul with this embryo, you'll have a new body, and this body will have complete control over the endless concept of ice: Once something is frozen, it will be frozen for eternity."
Ziro still remembered the products Aakesh had shown him. At that time, he was at his lowest since he had lost every member of his family while he was on the verge of death.
The store and its products had given him new hope for life. Before entering the store, he was a nobody in the Kordo race who lost everything due to his weakness, but after leaving the store, he was never the same.
He rose to power in no time, using the help of the product purchased from the store, and soon became the first family of the Kordo race. When he ascended to the Sacred Dimension, his descendants fully controlled the race.
It had been around two centuries since Kordo had ascended to the Sacred Dimension. Since he was the only one in his race to ascend, he had no background there.
He had to start everything from scratch. He had purchased the Heavenly Compatibility Pill from the store, which allowed him to rise in no time in the Primal Dimension. Due to the pill's ability, his compatibility with the elements was similar, if not higher than the elementals.
When he ascended to the Sacred Dimension, the compatibility was reduced since the elements of the Sacred Dimension were stronger than the ones in the lower dimension. But still, his compatibility remained above average, allowing him to reach the peak True God cultivation level without the help of any powerful resource in only two centuries.
If compared with the other powerful customers from the first phase of the store, Ziro's growth was nothing worth even considering. It didn't mean Ziro was less talented. To be precise, Heavenly Compatibility Pill was one of the top ten most expensive products sold by the store in the first phase.
There was a rule that any cultivator in the Sacred Dimension could cultivate to peak Divine Being without the help of any cultivation art, but Ziro turned out to be an exception to that.
Ziro was alone with no background, so for him, purchasing a cultivation art that employed all five elements was an almost impossible task in that situation. Fortunately for Ziro, his body constitution had been changed after he ate the pill. It allowed him to grow his cultivation even without the cultivation art as long as he had the five elements at his disposal.
If Ziro were to be given a resource of the five elements, his cultivation would have at least been a few levels higher than what it was in the present.
For the past two centuries, Ziro had been wandering around the Sacred Dimension, searching for opportunities. He came across one such opportunity, a few years earlier.
During his travel, he became prey to a space storm and was forced to an unknown area by it. Fortunately for Ziro, his luck wasn't terrible, and he simply came across a ruin.
The ruin wasn't dangerous but perfectly compatible for him. During one of the challenges inside the ruin, Ziro met a group of people.
Since Ziro was alone, the group targeted him, but unfortunately for them, they became Ziro's prey in the end. Ziro was never one to leave his enemies alive, so he brutally killed them.
To survive, the last enemy tried to use a bargaining chip. It was a piece of information about a store that sold life-changing products. At first, Ziro was going to ignore that since he believed the First Store to still be working as it did when he went there.
But for some reason, his intuition wanted him to know more about the store, so he let the man live. When he heard about the familiar dreadful blue-skinned man and the terrible white monster, Ziro knew no bounds to his happiness.
To celebrate his moment of joy, Ziro tortured the last enemy since letting his enemy live was something that went against Ziro's tenet.
After surviving the dungeon, Ziro immediately left for the store, and after traveling for a few years, he was finally there.

"Life has been good for me since I met you, store owner," Ziro sincerely bowed and thanked Aakesh.
When he met Aakesh, he had no one. When he ascended, he had a new family and a long line of descendants due to his relations with every beautiful woman of the Kordo race. But there was only one person toward whom Zirowas sincere and respected, and that was Aakesh.
He felt countless emotions rising in his heart at that time. He seemed to have returned to his fragile state, which he once was years ago.
