340: I will definitely show him what strength is

Catastrophes, ubiquitous catastrophes were the culprits behind all of this.

Whenever the Mang Clan civilization showed signs of evolution, the ever-present catastrophes would mercilessly destroy everything the Mang Clan had, forcing them to start over.

Only the ubiquitous temples, so different from this era, could provide shelter for the Mang Clan during these catastrophes.

This was also the origin of the Mang Clan's faith, the reason they had no choice but to believe in the Mang God.

The poor Mang Clan was manipulated by the Mang God, controlled as he pleased.

Yet, they were unaware, believing the Mang God to be the most benevolent god, and madly contributed their Power of Faith to the Mang God.

The special idols in the temples were the Mang Clan's faith collectors.

As long as one obtained ownership of these idols, one also gained the authority to harvest the Mang Clan's Power of Faith.

This was why this Faith Planet could be traded.

Normally, once faith was bound to a target, it required very complex procedures to change.

The appearance of special idols, however, simplified this method to the extreme.

Lin Tianwei sighed deeply, looking at the Mang Clan living in a daze on Life Planet No. 1026589.

If Blue Star hadn't been packed up and taken away by him, a Blue Star owned by other Cosmic Beasts might have faced a similar fate.

In a sense, Cosmic Beasts with immense power were true gods to Blue Star.

They possessed the ability to control everything!

As for the Power of Faith?

Although Lin Tianwei didn't know exactly what the Power of Faith was, it was clearly a special energy similar to Origin Power.

A special energy that could make Cosmic Beasts even stronger.

This special energy was something most Cosmic Beasts coveted.

It was only natural that Life Planet No. 1026589 became the first auction item.

It possessed sufficient value!

Sure enough, the moment Life Planet No. 1026589 was observed, a Cosmic Beast couldn't hold back and immediately made a bid.

Three hundred and fifty thousand yuan crystal!

A prominent number appeared on the large screen behind Pan Di.

This was a display screen specifically built for bidding, capable of instantly relaying the auction price.

However, the price of three hundred and fifty thousand yuan crystal was just the beginning of the bidding for Life Planet No. 1026589.

The price flickered wildly, reaching ten million yuan crystal in less than ten minutes.

Perhaps because it was approaching the true value of Life Planet No. 1026589, the number of bidding Cosmic Beasts gradually decreased once the auction price reached ten million yuan crystal.

The bidding speed also slowed down.

In a palace shaped like a forest, Udo looked at the platform in front of him with great satisfaction.

He would gain ownership of Life Planet No. 1026589 in just three more seconds.

That's right, he was the final bidder for Life Planet No. 1026589.

At this moment, Udo was full of confidence, secretly thinking that these poor Cosmic Beasts could not possibly be his opponents.

Just as Lin Tianwei expected, the Power of Faith was also a powerful energy.

Although not as excellent as Origin Power, it was far, far superior to yuan crystal.

However, using the Power of Faith to reinforce oneself had two extremely serious drawbacks.

Made by faith, destroyed by faith.

This was the first drawback of the Power of Faith.

Once the entity providing the Power of Faith no longer believed in oneself, that Power of Faith would vanish.

This was also why the former Mang God deliberately suppressed the Mang Clan's strength.

Only when these Mang Clan members, who provided him with the Power of Faith, died, did that Power of Faith truly belong to him.

Making the Mang Clan long-lived?

Not only was it detrimental to obtaining the Power of Faith, but it would also lay a hidden danger for the collapse of his own strength.

Only deceased believers were truly eternal believers.

The acquisition of the Power of Faith was simply too slow.

This was the second drawback of the Power of Faith.

The stronger the creature, the stronger the Power of Faith it could provide.

But the stronger the creature, the less likely it was to generate faith.

Coupled with the potential collapse of faith, under these extremely contradictory circumstances, compressing the strength of believers became the safest choice.

This led to the extremely slow generation of the Power of Faith, to the point of being excruciatingly slow.

It required a very long time to acquire enough Power of Faith.

Compared to its drawbacks, the benefits of the Power of Faith were numerous, making it the preferred target for some Cosmic Beasts who wanted to become stronger.

And this excellent Faith Planet naturally became their target of contention.

However, in the face of a price as high as ten million yuan crystal, most Cosmic Beasts still retreated.

However, just as Udo thought he was triumphant and about to win this Life Planet, a new price appeared on the large screen.

Two hundred units of Origin Power!

Converted to yuan crystal, that was a full twenty million yuan crystal.

Not only that, due to the special nature of Origin Power, in cases of equal prices, Cosmic Beasts trading with yuan crystal would definitely be prioritized.

Even when the price was slightly lower, the same applied.

The price of two hundred units of Origin Power burst forth, immediately suppressing Udo's ridiculous price of ten million yuan crystal.

Suppressed to the point of having no temper whatsoever.

It made Udo grit his teeth, yet he couldn't muster any thought of resistance.

He could only say resentfully, "Damn rich beast."

"Buying a Faith Planet for two hundred units of Origin Power? That's utterly idiotic."

"I would never do such a foolish thing."

"You just keep bidding, let's see who can outbid you."

However, his impotent rage seemed utterly ridiculous in Filiche's eyes.

If he truly had the financial resources, wouldn't it be better to just top the bid directly?

Slightly overpaying for an item one liked was not at all difficult to understand.

Of course.

Filiche only thought such things in his mind; he dared not say them directly.

He even opened his mouth to comfort Udo, saying, "Mr. Udo, please don't be anxious."

"For this Lotus Auction, we are cooperating with the Dawn Merchant Guild, and we have plenty of planetary resources."

"This auction has just begun, and the good stuff is still to come."

"If a Cosmic Beast wants to be a sucker, let him be."

Upon receiving Filiche's comfort, Udo finally felt much better and once again looked towards the platform.

Anticipating the appearance of the next auction item.

The Cosmic Beast capable of such extravagance, bidding two hundred units of Origin Power for Life Planet No. 1026589, was naturally Lin Tianwei.

In fact, he didn't need the Power of Faith, nor was he interested in saving the so-called Ze Clan.

What truly caught his eye on this Life Planet were the special idols standing in the temples.

Special tools serving as Power of Faith receivers.

Lin Tianwei was very interested in these special little things.

After learning from Luo Ji that these faith receivers were not common items, Lin Tianwei decisively chose to make a move.

If he remembered correctly, Barioss seemed to possess a similar ability.

However, Barioss's ability was more advanced, capable of converting his faith in Lin Tianwei into Origin Power, which was a level higher than the Power of Faith.

Of course.

Although Barioss's faith was firm, due to the extreme weakness of his Mental Power attribute, the Origin Power he could provide to Lin Tianwei was very, very little.

But it didn't matter.

If he could grasp the underlying principle, allowing all Blue Star creatures to provide him with Origin Power, then the Origin Power acquired every moment would become immense.

At the very least, Lin Tianwei could also collect the Power of Faith scattered on Blue Star through the special idols, making good use of everything.

As for how to deal with Life Planet No. 1026589 at that time?

Lin Tianwei had no clue yet.

However, a Life Planet could never be without value.

Whether to keep it as an experimental planet to test some of his ideas.

Or to directly use his Talent: Star Devourer (Mythical) for Devouring, both were excellent choices.

Before Lin Tianwei could decide how to deal with Life Planet No. 1026589, Pan Di began to display the second auction item.

Coincidentally, it was the time-type Slave named Melvold.

Talent: Time Reversal (Elementary)!

This Talent's effect was mediocre, and it even required a large amount of resources for cultivation.

Despite bearing the name of a time-type Talent, it was a very unpopular auction item.

No wonder Luo Ji strongly recommended this item to Lin Tianwei; it indeed had a very high-cost performance.

Of course.

This was mainly because other Cosmic Beasts didn't have Lin Tianwei's buggy ability—to extract Talent by killing targets.

At the same time, Lin Tianwei could also rapidly upgrade the Talents he acquired through Talent Fragments, perfectly avoiding the difficulty of scarce and expensive resources required for cultivating time-type Talents.

To them, Melvold was nothing more than a useless Slave.

Uncultivated, he was useless; cultivated, it might result in a huge loss.

Although Melvold hadn't been fully implanted with a control chip to become an emotionless Slave, he still had cultivation value.

However, not all cultivation yielded returns.

No matter how many resources were invested in Cosmic Beasts with insufficient Talent, the end result might still be nothing.

If it was simply for the purpose of researching the Time Reversal Talent, Melvold's price was a bit too high.

Ten million yuan crystal? Just to research an elementary Time Reversal Talent?

Not all Cosmic Beasts possessed such financial power.

The starting bid was ten million yuan crystal, with each increment not less than one million yuan crystal.

After a few minutes of rustling, Melvold's price barely reached twenty-five million yuan crystal.

This price was even slightly lower than Luo Ji's expected Sold Price.

Three hundred units of Origin Power.

Lin Tianwei unhesitatingly announced his price.

Pan Di looked at the bid with some surprise, his eyes full of shock.

Which Cosmic Beast was so rich, not only madly bidding with Origin Power, but each bid was an absolute crush, leaving other Cosmic Beasts with no thought of resistance.

Sure enough, as soon as Lin Tianwei's bid was made, no Cosmic Beast in the entire auction continued to bid.

Such an exorbitant price directly deterred those Cosmic Beasts who still wanted to contend.

They could only silently watch as Lin Tianwei took Melvold into his possession.

In the jungle.

Udo raised his right fist and smashed it heavily onto the ground.

The immense force instantly made the palace shake.

At this moment, Udo's eyes had turned crimson; clearly, he was enraged.

He let out an angry roar, shouting, "Damn fellow, you've snatched my favorite auction item again!"

"A tiger doesn't show its might, and you think I'm a sick cat?"

"I'm giving you one last chance. If you do something so foolish again, don't blame me for being merciless."

Facing Udo's renewed impotent rage, Filiche was ecstatic.

An auction was a place where one's blood was easily stirred.

Here, competition and hatred would be infinitely amplified, causing some foolish Cosmic Beasts to lose their minds and do extremely unwise things.

Just like this white ape in front of him, this white ape named Udo.

Having his favorite auction items snatched away twice in a row by Lin Tianwei, his mentality was already a bit unstable, and he was very likely to do something extremely irrational.

However, Filiche had no intention of warning the other party.

He even intended to fan the flames.

After all, he only cared about the performance Udo might bring him, and he didn't care about Udo's life or death at all.

This fellow, who frequently bossed him around, if he was foolish enough to dig his own grave, that would truly be something Filiche would be delighted to see.

Thinking of this, Filiche fanned the flames, saying, "Mr. Udo, please calm down."

"The other party just doesn't know he's competing with Mr. Udo, otherwise, he would never do such a foolish thing."

"Mr. Udo, please rest assured, he would never dare to make a sound for the next item you fancy."

"Even if he is truly so irrational and intends to compete with Mr. Udo again."

"Then he would absolutely not be able to compete with the wise and mighty Mr. Udo."

"It's not that Mr. Udo can't win against him, but he just doesn't want to haggle with such a foolish idiot."

Udo, praised by Filiche, instantly became smug and said righteously, "Of course."

"If this guy dares to be so ignorant and snatches my things again, I will definitely show him what true strength is!"

Watching Udo, who was gradually losing his reason, Filiche nodded with great satisfaction.

Although doing so was tantamount to draining the pond to catch all the fish, Filiche didn't care.

He possessed more than just Udo as his only high-quality customer.

As long as it could help him achieve enough performance for promotion, he wouldn't hesitate to squeeze every last drop out of all of them.

While Udo was treating him like an idiot, wasn't he also treating Udo like an idiot?

Excellent hunters always appear in public as prey, counter-hunting those idiots who try to treat them as prey... The Lotus Auction had numerous auction items, each one praised to the skies by Pan Di, as if not buying them would be a huge loss.

This was the charm of live streaming combined with language.

Highly suggestive language, coupled with a bit of special technique, would make even these powerful Cosmic Beasts have the urge to buy, buy, buy. (End of this chapter)
