Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 2060 - 1144: Consigned Auction Lots
Previously on Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf...
Nevertheless, the young man soon shook his head.
He had only arrived as an avatar, so perhaps his senses were mistaken.
And then,
as the auction items displayed on the Heavenly Derivation Star Plate began to appear one after another, time flowed onward.
Four thousand years vanished in the blink of an eye.
During these four millennia, the auction reached its halfway point, having sold over a hundred million items.
By this juncture, numerous species participating in the auction had already depleted a significant portion of their resources.
Among these early and mid-stage auction lots, minor climaxes began to emerge.
Besides offerings from Peak Heavenly Venerates, there were soul bones at the half-step taboo level, mind-refining heavy weapons, and more than thirty thousand integrated Star Sky Mother Ship Groups, auctioned off in batches of one hundred.
Over thirty thousand integrated Star Sky Mother Ship Groups!
Within the entirety of the Blazing Nebula, perhaps only the Black Sun Clan and the Heavenly Destiny Clan, who had controlled the Mechanical Church for countless eras, possessed such assets.
What's more, these Star Sky Mother Ship Groups were manufactured by the Mechanical Church, rendering them more advanced and formidable than standard models.
Their warships, patrol vessels, and other craft boasted defenses capable of withstanding strikes from powerful Heavenly Venerates.
The main ship alone could endure a thousand heavy blows from late-stage half-step taboo powerhouses, indicating that few in the entire Blazing Nebula could single-handedly sink such a vessel.
In prior times, the Heavenly Destiny Clan had utilized their overwhelming star energy weaponry to deliver a dimension-shattering blow to numerous factions coveting the Central Star Core.
Consequently, upon their appearance, even prominent figures from the eight pavilions placed bids.
Su Lin, naturally, also made several acquisitions.
Given that many factions were preparing for the opportunities of this era, the bidding prices for the Star Sky Mother Ship Groups this time far surpassed those of standard offerings!
Each individual Star Sky Mother Ship Group commanded a price exceeding tens of billions!
This escalated pricing was due to the higher-tier items demanding significantly greater sums, multiplying ordinary prices by several, or even dozens, of times.
Nevertheless, Su Lin still managed to procure a grand total of eight hundred integrated Star Sky Mother Ship Groups.
After all, the Wolf Pack Civilization required a truly elite, star-energy armed force!
Having assimilated the vast resources and armaments that the Heavenly Destiny Clan had amassed over countless eras, Su Lin could faintly perceive a future for the Blazing Nebula characterized by even more ferocious and brutal conflict.
Furthermore, throughout these four thousand years, the Sand Fox, Charm Fox, Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly, and the Black Gold Demon Race Saintess, among others, also made several bids.
For the most part, they utilized resources they had personally accumulated.
This was because the Wolf Pack Civilization operated not on a communal system but fostered private ownership!
Only through such a structure could every Exotic Beast possess a more ardent drive for advancement.
Regarding the personal coffers of the Sand Fox, Charm Fox, Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly, and the Black Gold Demon Race Saintess, Su Lin held no particular reservations.
However, on occasion, Su Lin acquired items for them.
Among these were the tenth Heavenly Boundary Mark crucial for the Charm Fox, the ninth Heavenly Boundary Mark needed by the Shadow of Plague, and a rare half-step taboo Dimension Heart desired by the Black Gold Demon Race Saintess, among other things.
These acquisitions could be considered acts of consideration from Su Lin towards them.
After all, the Charm Fox and the Shadow of Plague had matured under his guidance,
and the Black Gold Demon Race Saintess and the Shadow of Plague also shared a compatible relationship, making Su Lin feel it was only right to look after the younger generation.
Next,
upon transitioning into the mid-stage of the auction, many of the items presented astonished even Su Lin.
For instance, there was a mobile Dragon Chariot meticulously crafted entirely from soul stones, possessing the capability to shroud all Divine Soul probes, effectively serving as a mobile sanctuary.
Moreover, this Dragon Chariot, constructed from soul stones, could also nurture soul spirits and foster awakened consciousness, among other functions.
This particular Dragon Chariot went up for auction at over six hundred billion, ultimately causing Su Lin to withdraw his interest.
After all, expending an amount equivalent to more than sixty Star Sky Mother Ship Groups for what was essentially a mobile sanctuary was still too extravagant for Su Lin's current budget.
Then, there was the Splendid Heavenly Star Map!
This artifact meticulously detailed the planets within all small constant stars of the Blazing Nebula, including their approximate military strength, vital statistics, and combat power analyses. It even possessed the ability to temporarily influence the Will of Heaven and Earth across various celestial bodies!
This treasure had been unearthed by the Heavenly Destiny Clan from the imperial vaults of the Blazing Flame Clan in ages past.
Naturally, it did not encompass newly formed planets that had emerged over the course of these numerous eras.
Yet, it remained an exceptionally valuable strategic asset.
Not only did it provide comprehensive intelligence spanning the entire Blazing Nebula, but it also offered the capacity to temporarily suppress the Will of Heaven and Earth on diverse planets.
Deploying it during a conquest would effectively neutralize a significant source of support for the enemy.
The Splendid Heavenly Star Map was put up for auction by one of the eight grand pavilions, fetching a price surpassing seventy trillion in resources! Over seventy trillion! Such a sum is equivalent to a staggering half of all resources within a fourth-level Peak Stellar System. So far, within just the early and mid-stage auction items, the Heavenly Destiny Clan has already amassed over seven trillion in resources! Exceeding seven trillion! This figure surpasses even the total resources that "Unspeakable" can provide. This disparity arises because the Heavenly Destiny Clan's wealth is the result of accumulations and plunders spanning dozens of epochs, whereas the resources "Unspeakable" gathers are subject to regular requisitions. It's a ruthless business conglomerate, unwilling to permit its subsidiaries any unrestrained growth. This starkly illustrates the almost insurmountable divide separating premier star nebula great clans, such as the Heavenly Destiny Clan and the Black Sun Clan, from others. Following this, numerous consigned auction items were progressively unveiled in the subsequent stages of the auction.
