Golden light filled the room.
It felt as if the auction owner had pulled out a sun!
When the light faded, what appeared in front of Toji Hisami was a drop of golden liquid.
This drop of liquid gave off a flawless feeling. Once anyone looked at it, they couldn’t take their eyes away.
The auction owner’s other hand churned with rolling magic power, conducting an intricate sealing technique upon the water droplet.
An invisible membrane wrapped the water droplet, whereupon the radiant light and aura completely vanished.
Then he took out a necklace and set the water drop onto it.
"This drop is the Dew of Origin."
"Even for Transcendents, this drop of Origin Dew can bring them great benefits."
"You gave us an almost perfect demonstration of the evolution of the world and brought us immeasurable insights."
"I give this drop of Origin Dew to you as a reward."
The owner of the auction stretched out his hand, and the Dew of Origin fell into Toji Hisami’s hand.
[Original Dew Necklace]
[The Dew of Origin inlaid with super divine gold, sealed by the power of demigods. Day and night, it allows the wearer to gain the power of origin.]
[By comprehending the Dew of Origin, you can obtain super-level knowledge of origin and comprehend super-level abilities.]
[Basic ability: Designates and strengthens a specific skill of the wearer, causing it to be permanently improved.]
When Toji Hisami received the necklace, he immediately felt its heavy weight.
It was as if he were not holding a mere necklace, but an entire world, and his hands shook so much that he could barely keep his grip steady.
However, he directly bound his ownership to the Dew of Origin Necklace.
A faint light flickered, and the connection between his soul and the necklace suddenly established itself.
The unbearable weight from before vanished, replaced by a feeling of being as light as nothingness.
He put the necklace on directly.
He was filled with deep emotion in his heart; as expected of semi-Divine level powerhouses, the necklace casually used to hold the Dew of Origin was actually forged from super divine gold.
That was one of the most precious substances in the world, a mandatory material used by gods to craft divine weapons.
This piece of super divine gold was conservatively estimated to be worth more than one million coupons at an auction.
And the Dew of Origin itself was worth countless times more than super divine gold!
Its very name was linked to the fundamental origin.
After putting it on, Toji Hisami could feel a steady stream of energy penetrating deeply into his body and flowing directly into his soul sea.
"When using the Dew of Origin directly, even a Transcendent must proceed with caution."
"Until you reach the Transcendent level, the seal above will not be undone."
"However, merely relying on this energy that slowly seeps through the seal, you can gradually digest the Dew of Origin."
The auction owner explained to Toji Hisami why the seal was necessary.
His attitude seemed very relaxed, but Lyra next to him was completely shocked.
In her memory, the Dew of Origin was a substance that could only be born deep within the core of a world.
Its preciousness was no less than an enlightenment granted directly by the gods.
If Toji Hisami were to fully digest such a drop of Origin Dew, he might not even finish absorbing it by the time he ascended to the Transcendent realm.
From this moment on, Toji Hisami would continuously receive the nourishment of the Dew of Origin.
Starting from the very root, it began to strengthen Toji Hisami’s comprehensive attributes.
This completely addressed a common vulnerability among lords: the gap in their personal cultivation.
Consider the descendants of those at the peak of the pyramid, such as kings and dukes.
Which of them had not grown up consuming all kinds of natural and earthly treasures since childhood, accumulating countless essences within their bodies?
Once they reached a certain stage, such as becoming an official lord, that accumulated potential would be fully unleashed.
At that point, they would open a massive gap between themselves and commoner lords.
That gap was a chasm that many commoner lords could not cross even if they spent their entire lives trying.
Yet no matter how many heavenly treasures one had enjoyed since childhood, could any of them match the high tier of the Dew of Origin?
Lyra could guarantee that among all the young geniuses in the main world, only a tiny handful could ever receive the kind of treatment Toji Hisami was enjoying right now.
Although Toji Hisami started behind in terms of upbringing, a complete drop of the Dew of Origin was more than enough to bridge the gap created by time.
The two gifts presented by the auction owner and the mysterious man directly targeted Toji Hisami’s two biggest current bottlenecks.
Toji Hisami himself deeply felt the profound goodwill of the two demigods.
He sat up with difficulty on the recliner and bowed solemnly to the two demigods.
"This junior thanks both powerhouses for their generous gifts!"
"Hahaha, you deserve this!"
"Besides, we also hope that you will come back to demonstrate for us once you become stronger."
Speaking of this, both the auction owner and the mysterious man couldn’t help but show expressions of longing.
At his current strength, Toji Hisami was already able to evolve the fragmented world to such a degree.
If they waited until Toji Hisami entered the Transcendent realm, he would probably be able to drive the evolution to complete fruition!
Being able to observe the full evolution of a world would grant them explosive growth in their own cultivation!
It was not impossible that they might catch a glimpse of the true realm of gods from it!
"I am the owner of the Dimensional Trading Auction, Saros."
"I am the master of the Mirror Maze, Embil."
"When we return this time, we will both enter seclusion to digest our insights, and we look forward to our next meeting."
The two demigods revealed their real names to Toji Hisami at the same time.
Then, their smiles dissolved into points of light, vanishing from the entrance hall.
The surface of the admission ticket twisted for a moment, finally transforming into a gold-patterned design on a black background.
The large words reading "Transcendent Level VIP" upon it exuded a sacred atmosphere, filling anyone who looked at it with involuntary awe.
Before leaving, the auction owner had converted Toji Hisami’s admission ticket into a Transcendent Level VIP card for the auction.
From now on, there were no limits on usage, agency fees were completely waived, and he even possessed priority purchasing qualifications.
However, Toji Hisami was in no mood to pay attention to a mere VIP card at the moment.
He looked at the necklace around his neck with joy and held the Miniature Territory crystal statue in his hand, grinning from ear to ear.
Even Lyra looked visibly delighted at this sight.
After obtaining these two items, Toji Hisami could be considered invincible throughout the entire Lord Trial.
Upgrading the territory directly to a primary territory meant acquiring an official formal domain, the scale of which was completely incomparable to its current state.
Normally, after passing the Lord Trial, a trainee lord would return to the main world with their existing territory.
That territory would then be integrated into the main world continent according to their birthplace and preference.
Only at that point would the territory continue its upgrade path.
After reaching level nine, one needed to complete territory quests and obtain a special territory core to advance further.
After promotion, the domain was termed an original territory, with the next tier being the primary territory.
This process would take an average person decades, while even top geniuses or those with powerful backgrounds required at least several days.
Yet the moment Toji Hisami used the crystal statue, he would skip that entire process outright.
When he returned to the main world with his formal territory, it was bound to trigger a massive earthquake among the factions!
From this moment onward, Toji Hisami’s sights were set firmly on the main world.
The mere trial world was no longer enough to hold him back.
The remainder of the trial was about to enter complete triviality.
"Now I can’t wait to get back to our territory," Toji Hisami said, holding his treasures and looking at Lyra with regret.
Lyra naturally understood Toji Hisami’s eagerness.
However, Toji Hisami possessed almost no mobility due to the severe overdraft of his soul.
In this state, Lyra would never allow Toji Hisami to venture into the fog.
Without Toji Hisami’s divination ability, their chances of encountering hidden dangers were greatly increased, and disaster could strike at any moment.
Lyra was unwilling to let Toji Hisami risk such a trap.
At any rate, an overdrawn soul simply required a period of rest to recover.
This recovery window varied depending on an individual’s constitution, ranging anywhere from a month to a year.
From Lyra’s perspective, Toji Hisami was already invincible within the trial world, so spending some time recovering posed no real drawback.
Toji Hisami had no leverage to argue with his heroic soul in his current condition, so he could only accept the decision reluctantly.
Although he could force Lyra to carry him back despite the risks, why bother?
She was acting strictly for his own good.
Under these circumstances, Toji Hisami decided to rest in the Blood Spirit Territory for a while, taking advantage of the downtime to study origin magic.
He had already mastered four of his nine subjects of knowledge, and his progress on the remainder was quite advanced.
Now that he possessed the Dew of Origin, his progress in Origin Studies was bound to skyrocket.
He had reaped a monumental harvest at this auction, an opportunity that might prove difficult to replicate in the future.
