Chapter 6 Even with a loan, one must seek a master.
Virtual Universe, Chaos Temple
The Shadow Monarch, who had been summoned, said, "Aside from purchasing a large amount of refining materials and fine wine, there have been no other changes to the Starry Sky King's main account."
"Okay, go ahead."
"Your subordinate takes his leave."
The Lord of Chaos City looked puzzled; he truly didn't understand.
If he doesn't need money, why is Xingyu Wang so obsessed with it?
One hundred years later
Starry Sky Dimension Dojo
The thunderclouds in the sky rolled slowly, and arcs of purple-gold lightning, like sleeping dragons, appeared and disappeared in the gaps in the clouds.
"Lightning, both violent and gentle..." A pale purple bolt of lightning coiled around Gao Ya's fingertip, not a violent, destructive force, but rather carrying an almost gentle rhythm, flowing in a spiral.
As he spoke, wisps of lightning crackled from the bodies of many disciples sitting cross-legged below the stage.
Some sparks were more intense, crackling with arcs of electricity; others were faint, like tender green shoots just breaking through the ground, barely a pale white light, yet steadily pulsating.
Baker's fingers unconsciously dug into the fabric creases of his knee, a look of sudden realization crossing his face.
"That's excellent!" He compared the teachings of the clan's king-level powerhouses with those of the Star King, and found that the two were on completely different levels.
If we compare the laws of lightning to finding the exit of a maze, then for the powerful members of a clan to explain it clearly, they would need to guide them through the labyrinthine maze, and even then, they might not find the exit.
Star King, on the other hand, simply flew them up, stood in mid-air, pointed to the exit below, and said, "Hey, this is the exit." Compared to Star King, this was practically a game-changer.
Not far away, Demps, who had become a contracted disciple of Gao Ya for the second time, gradually relaxed his brow.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but the teacher's explanation this time was much simpler than the last, and he understood it much better.
A year passed, and Gao Ya dispelled the strange phenomena in the dojo.
"Everyone, step back."
"Yes"
In reality, Gao Ya sat in the pavilion for a long time, his soul sensing a leaf's birth, its fall from the branch, its transformation from emerald green to withered yellow, and finally to decay... He fell into deep contemplation.
Deep within his consciousness, his understanding of the laws of time, like a magnet, mimicked the trajectory of falling leaves, forming a rotating "hourglass."
The sand seems to flow away from the bottom as if it were free, leaving the place empty in the end.
"I see," he murmured, a silvery light carrying an aura of vicissitude emanating from his body.
Gao Ya raised his hand and gently pointed to the lush green leaves on the branch.
"Whoosh—" A silver glint flashed across the leaf.
The vibrant green leaf turned dry and yellow in the blink of an eye, its veins cracking.
Then the leaf turned grayish-black, its edges turned to ash, and finally the entire leaf scattered into powder in mid-air, leaving not a trace, thus ending its life.
The insights didn't end there; the increased understanding not only greatly reduced the difficulty of sudden enlightenment but also extended the time it took to achieve it.
..........
Three hundred years later, at the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company, near the entrance to the Initial Universe Channel.
Rumble~~~
More than ten oceans of fundamental laws of lightning converged, enveloping a large area of the void.
"My God, what day is it today? So many people breaking through to Immortality at the same time!" The voices of the Immortal Gods guarding outside the passage trembled, their throats bobbing a few times.
This was the first time they had ever seen such a sight during their long years of stationing here.
In a post-apocalyptic secret realm 20 billion light-years from headquarters, eight members sat in the living room of a building, watching videos and cultivator data leaked from headquarters.
"Even this useless prince of the Rock Mountain Universe Kingdom can break through to the Immortal Realm!"
"And this one, from the same universe as me, was once my defeated foe, yet he broke through before me. How outrageous!"
"I know this person. He's a disciple of a king-level family from the Ice Sea Universe Kingdom. His aptitude is average, much worse than mine. I didn't expect him to break through as well."
After listening to the others' stories, Hayden, sitting in the middle, took the opportunity to speak.
"So, King Xingyu really has some skills. Regardless of whether one has good or bad aptitude, everyone who listens to his sermons has a chance to break through to immortality."
"We can't hesitate any longer!" A resolute glint appeared in his eyes.
He had been at the Realm Lord level for over eight million years, making him an elder of the Apocalyptic Secret Realm. After ranking among the top one thousand in the entire universe in the Genius Battle, he arrived here with high hopes, diligently cultivating to seek a breakthrough.
Reality slapped him in the face.
Not every core member of a virtual universe company can break through to immortality!
Some people die during their trials, while others die of old age.
He, Hayden, will become the latter in a little over a million years!
Walter, standing nearby, opened his mouth, hesitated several times, and finally uttered a sentence that silenced everyone.
"Where can I get 10 Hunyuan?"
It's not difficult for a Realm Lord to gather 10 Chaos Yuan cultivators; they just need to live for hundreds of thousands of years in the Extraterrestrial Battlefield. However, they learned about its cruelty the first time they entered the Extraterrestrial Battlefield.
Every day, immortal powerhouses fall, and ordinary realm lords like them are merely slightly stronger cannon fodder. Therefore, after completing their first experience in the extraterrestrial battlefield, they rarely went there anymore.
Hayden gritted his teeth and said, "A mortgage loan!"
The others shuddered, their faces showing unspeakable emotions.
What they're mortgaging isn't their territory, of course—that's hardly worth anything—but rather...
They themselves!

Cosmic Galaxy Bank Qianwu Branch
Kabuven walked into the reception room, where his account manager, also a Realm Lord, asked, "Sir, how may I help you?"
"I want to entrust you with the auction of this," Cabvin said, taking out a disc-shaped weapon from his storage ring and handing it over.
The account manager's eyes lit up. He took the weapon with both hands, examined it from all sides, and said, "A mid-grade sixth-tier weapon. It's suitable for a mid-level auction."
"Are you sure you want to auction it off? Our bank can buy it directly."
Making money from customers is also one of his tasks.
The purchase price of these secondhand, mid-grade sixth-tier weapons ranges from 10 to 100 Hunyuan. If resold at an auction, they could potentially fetch 300 Hunyuan, resulting in a net profit of 200 Hunyuan.
This is a huge achievement!
Cabiven shook his head: "No need, let's just auction it off."
The account manager maintained his professional smile: "Okay, if it's an auction, our bank will charge you a 5% commission."
"The next medium-sized auction is in 300 years. After the auction, the proceeds, after deducting commissions, auction house fees, and taxes, will be directly deposited into your account."
"Please sign this consignment auction contract."
"it is good"

Virtual Universe, the First Bank of the Universe, Xuelong Universe Country Branch
Harry looked at the towering skyscraper, took a deep breath, and stepped inside.
"Sir, please read this service contract carefully. Once signed, regardless of whether you achieve immortality or not, you will be provided with our services unconditionally for three million years."
"No need to look anymore, I'll sign!"
.......
First Universe Bank, Divine Sword Universe Branch
"I'm sorry, sir, after evaluation, our bank can only offer you a loan of up to 60,000 yuan in exchange for your unconditional service to our bank for 283 million years."
"If you agree, you can sign the contract, and the loan will be disbursed instantly."
"Can't you have more? I'm a realm lord who has comprehended the dual laws of water and fire."
"Sir, this is the highest price our firm can offer."
