CHAPTER 162 OF 188

Chapter 162: 162: The Auction’s Aftermath

The auction owner had stated it clearly before it started.

If a problem occurred in the fragmented world, Toji Hisami would be held responsible.

In full view of everyone, Toji Hisami had turned into a stream of light and vanished after he approached. It looked like he had been taken away.

This was an auction, and as the owner, he undoubtedly possessed many means.

All the distinguished guests in the venue became nervous and stood up one after another.

The big druid was even angrier, stamping his feet in frustration.

He had been stunned by Toji Hisami’s series of operations before.

Especially later on, when the speed in the fragmented world was so fast that it was impossible to see clearly.

He had already accepted that his seed was hacked by Toji Hisami, and then he discovered that Toji Hisami was so capable.

Thinking of the topic of previous cooperation, his mind was full of thoughts.

He had just wanted to wait for Toji Hisami to come back from the end and have a good chat with him.

Such a key figure had simply vanished!

If he hadn’t retained the last bit of sanity, he would have almost slammed the table and rushed toward the stranger at the auction.

At this moment on the stage, the auction owner looked confused. If it weren’t for the fact that he was an energy clone, everyone would have seen his bewildered expression.

It wasn’t until Caesar spoke out that the auction owner came back to his senses and remembered the special place where Toji Hisami was located.

He sighed helplessly and looked at Caesar and the distinguished guests in the audience who were on guard.

"This little friend had to return to the main world because his soul energy was exhausted."

"The place he is in is quite special. It took a lot of effort to invite him to the auction, so I couldn’t react just now."

"I swear on the reputation of my auction house, this little friend is absolutely fine and suffered no harm."

The auction owner explained aloud.

However, his explanation immediately shocked everyone present.

Toji Hisami could come to the auction because the owner of the auction spent all his energy to invite him?

Thinking back to the fact that the owner of the auction just now was willing to give Toji Hisami a chance to try.

Hiss.

Many people immediately began to wonder about Toji Hisami’s identity and background, raising their previous speculations to several levels.

And Caesar’s expression softened.

He believed that the auction owner was so powerful that he would not lie about this kind of thing.

Of course, there was nothing more to say about what happened next. The auction concluded right here.

The mysterious man directly took out a treasure box and handed it to Caesar as a reward for Caesar’s successful demonstration for ten seconds.

He was also one of the only two reward recipients in this puzzle-solving segment.

As for the other one, of course it was Toji Hisami!

After announcing the end of the auction and sending everyone away, the entire venue slowly shrank and turned into a small sculpture.

The mysterious man and the owner of the auction stood in the void, looking at the fragmented world controlled within their palms.

"It’s amazing, it’s amazing. He was almost successful just now."

"I think now that I have realized this, I wish I could go back and retreat immediately..."

The mysterious man was filled with emotion. He and the auction owner took the opportunity of this auction just to see if there were any surprises.

Now the surprise was simply beyond their imagination.

They had almost witnessed a world repeat its evolution.

The mysterious man looked at the auction owner:

"Where did you recruit such a genius?"

"Haha, I’m afraid you won’t believe me if I tell you."

"Hm?"

The owner of the auction stopped talking, waved his hand, and led the mysterious man to the western wing of a palace floating in the void.

The gate of the palace opened, all the lights were turned on, and it was suddenly brilliant.

In this hall, there was a circular stone platform, and the owner of the auction led the mysterious man straight to it.

"An extradimensional altar?"

The mysterious man recognized the altar at a glance and looked at the auction owner strangely.

As a friend of the auction owner for many years, he knew that this castle was actually the auction owner’s personal territory!

The owner of the auction had completely integrated his territory with the lord’s palace, remaining free from the standard constraints and living at ease.

The hall on this floor was the original affairs hall.

This ultra-dimensional altar was also one of the territorial buildings.

Its function was to facilitate the lord in transferring power to multi-dimensional spaces.

Generally speaking, they were used for ultra-long-distance transmission or to penetrate deep into some extremely solid spatial dimensions.

For such an altar, Toji Hisami and other people who participated in the lord trial could not get it even by selling their territories.

Seeing the puzzled expression under the mysterious man’s hood, the energy clone of the auction owner directly merged into the altar mechanism.

Then the door at the back opened with a creak, and a chubby man walked out cheerfully.

He looked exactly like the face depicted on the auction card.

"Don’t you want to know where that young man is?"

"Huh? Isn’t it in the main world? In which realm? You don’t need a super-dimensional altar just to go between realms."

"Oh, he is in the trial world."

"Oh, that’s no wonder. The trial world is generated by the power of the highest dimension. It requires the use of a super-dimensional altar... What!???"

The mysterious man originally responded in a matter-of-fact manner, but when he came to his senses later, he was so shocked that he almost dropped his hat.

He rushed to the chubby auction owner and grabbed his clothes excitedly.

"The trial world!?"

"That kid is not even an official lord yet!?"

"I... what in the world!?"

Later on, the mysterious man was so excited that he started talking in various languages.

In fact, this news gave him too much stimulation, so much that he couldn’t adapt to it immediately.

He had lived for hundreds of years, met countless geniuses, and known supernovas for several generations...

He had extremely rich experience and had seen countless amazing acts by geniuses.

????? what they were trying before was called simulated world evolution in a grand fashion!

Even to put it mildly, it was a transformation of dimensional fragments that only semi-Divine level experts were qualified to participate in.

Caesar was the only non-demigod who had touched the evolution of the dimension fragment world.

But who was Caesar? He had been famous for a long time, a human supernova, and was almost recognized as the future leader of the kingdom!

A person who could not be found among 100 million people was a super genius that no number of ordinary geniuses could match.

But even for Caesar, compared with the result of Toji Hisami’s final trigger, the gap was simply ridiculously wide.

Later, he had casually thrown a treasure to Caesar as a reward, without the other party even looking at it closely.

He had also thought that Caesar knew his achievements were completely incomparable to Toji Hisami’s.

Then what was the point of taking pride in a reward? There was no shame in knowing the truth!

????? if Caesar knew that the one who could defeat him was a young man who had not yet completed the lord trial...

He feared the shock would not be any better than that of the mysterious man.

The mysterious man had been mentally prepared early in the morning.

Even if the auction owner had said that Toji Hisami was an heir secretly cultivated by some royal realm, or a descendant of a realm’s royal family, he wouldn’t have been surprised.

Shocked, the mysterious man drew a circle with his hand and took out a scroll.

After opening it, he saw it was the list of participants for this lord trial, including all 4,000 trainee lords.

As a semi-Divine level boss, a copy of the roster for each Lord Trial was sent directly to them.

It also specifically marked who came from which family and which territory they hailed from.

Who was related to whom.

When the mysterious man looked through it, he first scanned the list of these people. The scroll contained very rich records, allowing one to see their resumes simultaneously.

But looking around, he couldn’t tell which entry was Toji Hisami.

At the auction, Toji Hisami had left a deep impression on him.

Not only because of Toji Hisami’s final move to evolve the world, but also because Toji Hisami had remained calm from beginning to end.

His attitude throughout revealed a single meaning: equality!

Equal to the Transcendent lords, and also equal to these demigod lords.

He never felt that his level was weak or that his strength was inferior to theirs.

Both the mysterious person and the owner of the auction could see that Toji Hisami was not just pretending.

Being able to remain calm and composed in such a situation surrounded by strong men was already remarkable.

Not to mention his final feat.

To this day, they still didn’t know how Toji Hisami had managed to do it.

The chubby auction owner pulled the mysterious man’s hand down and rubbed his fat face.

"Honestly, I’m no less shocked than you are."

"Let’s go and meet this guy first, lest people think we’re deadbeats."

"This kid can’t even be described as a genius, he is a monster..."

The auction owner stepped up to the altar, and the mysterious man sighed again before following closely behind.

The power of the altar was activated, and a mysterious aura filled the hall.

The owner of the auction stretched out his hand to activate the energy and slowly locked onto a set of coordinates.

Then a whirlpool slowly unfolded in front of them.

The owner of the auction increased the infusion of energy, and finally fixed the vortex at a diameter of more than one meter, connecting it directly to the other world.
