The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 1071

Chapter 1071: Decennial Gate Auction (II) Chapter 1071: Decennial Gate Auction (II) “My current power should allow me to handle threats, even from weak Stellar Abyss Legends, and I doubt there are too many of those willing to spend their time as thieves.” Cain knew his analysis was not overly optimistic and had considered several factors, so he was able to relax.

For the next few days, Cain did nothing but rest.

While he paid close attention to his training and constantly strived to improve his cultivation and every aspect of his existence, he had just spent several months between a war and a journey through a dangerous land.

It was important to rest from time to time, as those small moments of relief would allow his mind and body to work even better in the future.

Finally, after six days of leisure and relaxation, it was time for the Decennial Gate Auction, which took place in the main hall of the Millennium Auction House.

The auction hall of the Millennium Auction House was a marvel of architectural grandeur and meticulous design, reflecting the prestige and opulence of the Commerce Association.

The space was vast and elegantly appointed, able to accommodate bidders of varying importance, from the ordinary to the extraordinary.

It was laid out in a semi-circular fashion, with tiered seating that descended towards a central stage where the auctioneer stood.

The stage was illuminated by enchanted chandeliers that cast a warm, golden glow over the proceedings, highlighting the treasures that would be showcased.

Hundreds of plush, velvet-covered seats filled the lower tiers of the hall.

These seats were arranged in neat rows, each offering a clear view of the stage.

The atmosphere here was lively, with the hum of anticipation and conversation buzzing among the bidders, many of whom were wealthy merchants, influential traders, and affluent individuals hoping to secure valuable artifacts.

While most had barely reached Level 18, they were core members of the families and powers of the South Coast Alliance, so their background granted them immense authority.

Rising above the main seating area were the special pods designed for Legends.

These pods were enclosed, each formed by a shimmering barrier that distorted light, rendering the occupant nearly invisible to the naked eye.

Within these pods, Legends could observe the auction in privacy, their presence masked to protect their identity and strategic interests.

Each pod was equipped with advanced communication arrays, allowing Legends to bid discreetly without revealing themselves.

Cain was in one of these special pods, and a small smile arose on his face as he sat on the comfortable seat that seemed to adjust perfectly to his body.

He noticed the gentle hum of arcane energy within, creating a serene environment that isolated him from the noise of the main hall.

His eyes soon wandered around the room and focused on the control panels that would allow him to interact with the auctioneer directly.

After a moment, Cain’s eyes wandered around the normal seats, and it was clear that he was above them.

However, he did not dare to get cocky, since while his pod was improved, thrones were floating at the center of the auction hall that unleashed a truly transcendent aura.

‘Those places must be reserved for the strongest powerhouses of the South Coast Alliance.

Of course, the ones there might not be the master of their forces but maybe some proxy, but still, it will be for the best to be careful around them.’ The Crimson World was a realm full of opportunity but also dangers, and he did not dare to forget that for even a second.

Cain played with the auction golden card in his hand for a moment before suddenly his eyes narrowed as he focused on the main stage.

The lights in the Millennium Auction House dimmed gradually, drawing the attention of all present toward the central stage.

A hush fell over the audience as anticipation built for the commencement of the Decennial Gate Auction.

The grandeur of the hall amplified the significance of the event, casting a sense of excitement throughout the room.

Ten years was a lot of time, especially for Sky Masters and Sky Lords whose life spans were measured in centuries, so attending an event like the Commerce Association’s Decennial Gate Auction filled their hearts with thrill, all of them hoping they could secure one of the unique treasures that would arrive.

It would be a lie to say that Cain was not somewhat excited, but after going through a world war, an auction could not overwhelm him.

He sat comfortably in his private pod, watching as a figure emerged onto the stage, illuminated by a golden spotlight.

The auctioneer, an old man with a commanding presence, appeared the next second.

His silver hair and stately demeanor bespoke wisdom and experience, and the energy emanating from his robes made it clear they were special.

However, the truly impressive feat was his aura, which carried the power of soul force, making it clear he was a Legend!

Even if Legends were more common in the Helix Continent than in the myriad of islands inside the Sea of Wonder, they were still very rare, so it was clear that the Millennium Auction House paid great heed to this event.

“Welcome, esteemed guests, to the Decennial Gate Auction!” The Legend’s voice boomed, filling the hall with its resonance.

His words were clear and authoritative, demanding attention and respect.

“My name is Richard, and I am honored to stand before you today as we embark on this journey of wonder and opportunity.” The audience in the normal seats erupted into applause, the sound echoing off the marble walls.

Even if the background of those Sky Masters and Sky Lords was high, none of them would dare to show the slightest disrespect to the Millennium Auction House.

As for the Legends seated in their concealed pods, they only nodded in acknowledgment, their eyes full of intrigue and curiosity.

The treasures that appeared in the Decennial Gate Auction were something that even they would be drawn to.
