Chapter 1648 The Derangs World
These forces might look like a colossal beast, yet it got old and weak over time. Not to mention many had their own battles against each other, with deadly wars being ragged all over the universe.
In addition to that, there were tons of forces sent every now and then towards the outside battlefield. Hye wanted to go there, but he didn't have the time nor the power to secure a good spot in such a hectic place.
The outer battlefield was like a massive universe lying between this one and the hostile one. That middle universe was like a flat land, spanning for billions upon billions of miles, stretching without showing an end.
In one part, it got attached to the universe here, and in another part, it ended with the hostile universe. The whole idea of war was to see which universe's forces would span and control most of this universe, securing paths towards the other one, and invade it.
So far, and after endless years, such a process didn't succeed. And Hye knew a small fry like himself wouldn't do anything out there.
The only advantage he might be proud of was the cultivation level of his people and forces. He made sure to teach all the people living inside his kingdom about cultivation, teaching them how to open their cultivation bases and even encouraged them to train and level up their ranks.
Hye got over a general rank and now was at the middle of the third big stage of his cultivation. As for his entrusted people, they already were close to jump over the second big stage and enter the third grade like him.
Out there in that battlefield, cultivation was all that mattered. Yet inside the universe here, cultivation wasn't that important compared with stat points and levels.
So Hye decided to first start levelling his people's stats, and then he'd go out to try the outer battlefield.
"Trying to do so will end up with disastrous defeat. We will lose many good soldiers, and won't secure any world in return," Legend paused, turned around before adding, "we shall focus over the newly opened apocalyptic trials. Every month, around a hundred new trials are opened. We can take part in a couple and see…"
"No, we won't," Hye was already aware of what his entrusted circle was thinking about, "we will assault the world first. I have a target in mind and will lead the entire army myself."
"This…"
His sudden announcement of war against that world he had in mind wasn't that shocking like declaring him leading such force.
"I know what you are worrying about," Hye rolled his eyes, slowly waiting for all the hums and whispers to die down before adding, "I'm the king, and it's risky for me to go out there and get killed. But… If you forgot about this fact, let me remind you all with it again… Without me, our kingdom, all of this, wouldn't have happened. And I'm able to defend my life no matter what."
His words landed and left everyone speechless of what he said. Yet it was all true, he wasn't weak. And if there was someone who became stronger during the past twenty years, then it'd be him.
"Which world do you want to attack then?" Sara was already feeling bored of such a peaceful life. If not for having two kids from Hye, she'd have been bored to death.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm
"Are they strong? The forces behind them?" Legend asked, as he was considering the general challenge the military forces of the kingdom would face.
"Is this world nearby? How will we go there? What if things went south? Is there a way out?" Lily asked the more logical and in-depth questions regarding such expeditions.
"How about the predetermined visit to the Toranks capital, won't we go there? You promised us and the kids of such a visit!" Karoline was more concerned about going out and seeing new places and people.
She wasn't wrong, none of them were. Hye looked calmly at them, before an evil smile appeared on his face.
"We are going to rock the universe first, then we'll go to visit the Toranks."
"Hahahaha, you are aiming at pulling them into the middle of the mess, I like that!" It was Toramos, and his words highlighted what Hye was really thinking of doing.
"I just promised to go and visit them," Hye laughed, pushing over the blame Toramos hinted at, "let's just focus on arranging our armies. As for the way to do it, I'm going to visit that world first, establish many portals there, and then you'll come over."
"This…"
"Won't there be a world shield protecting it?"
"Can you get there alone? Won't this be dangerous?"
"Don't worry," Hye reassured the anxious generals, "I know what I'm doing. This world… It doesn't yet have any protective shield around and didn't belong to a strong force. So, we shall act fast."
Hye didn't explain much about this world, but it was just like their Grand Earth. It was a world formed after the end of an apocalyptic trial, one that was controlled by a weak race, without much backing or a strong ally.
According to the intel he gained from the Toranks race, the race controlling this world was called the Derangs. They were just blessed with having weak races inside their trial, without any big name.
So, when they controlled their apocalypse, it came as a big surprise to all. Like usual, many forces sent their delegations to negotiate with that race to pull them over to their camp. And like any inexperienced folks, these race members were intoxicated with such an amazing feeling, getting more arrogant and full of themselves, and didn't yet take any decision about joining any force.
Hye knew they were just enjoying their moment, didn't know that a predator like himself was setting his gaze upon them. As they didn't belong to any force, they were like a hot cake in his eyes. And he wanted to start up by absorbing this world.
Chapter 1649 Enjoying Himself A Little
As for the aftermath of this, he planned to drag the Toranks over and help in establishing a grand shield around the world.
This shield was a famous item that would protect any world from any situation like what Hye planned to enforce over that race. With it, no one could establish a portal there. And if any force tried to fight their way into the world, they got to crush the shield first.
Hye and others learnt that the star weapons they struggled before were some sort of such shields. And to make such a grand thing, one had to be extremely wealthy and had lots of resources and experienced manpower.
Hye's kingdom lacked all this, and so he needed the help of the Toranks to do so. In addition to that, he had a subtle goal from doing this, to let his people learn the way to build up such a shield, a must to have knowledge for invading other worlds in the future.
Hye wasn't that worried about the lack of resources or wealth, but the experienced manpower was a grand headache for him. Any high-end force and race in the universe were having their own secrets and high-end tech, not sharing these with anyone no matter how riches were offered.
Hye tried to acquire such knowledge using Silverlining and his bones, and yet failed. It was quite expected, as such knowledge was considered part of the strategic pillars of any powerful race.

ραndαsΝοvεl.cοm Just like the knowledge to build spaceships, a thing that Hye had to keep asking for and had to pay a hefty price to acquire after fifteen years.
During the next hours, long discussions underwent between Hye and his generals and officials. He made sure to arrange things over, as there was a chance to gain more than one world if things grew intense and other forces stepped in or something.
So he made sure to arrange everything before setting the date of departure. He needed to take one week to travel, before heading towards that world. During that week, his generals would prepare enough armies, war supplies, and even deadly weapons and gadgets to be used in that assault.
After the meeting was over, Hye stayed in the main throne hall with Lily, Isac, Sara, and Karoline.
"You are going to move at last!" Sara said, not in the same excited tone, but in one that held tons of worry and concern.
She might be fiery and explosive, but the passage of time with Hye left an impression over her soul. She became softer when she was with him, and that wasn't an exception for her.
Right now, Hye was sitting over a large couch, one that he took out the moment everyone left. It looked more like a soft bed than a sofa, and it was wide enough to accommodate ten girls together with him.
He leant his back over a couple of soft pillows, not just normal pillows but two bugling at the chest of Karoline. She stretched her leg and Hye's back was perfectly lying in the gap between them.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm
On both sides, Lily and Isac were there, leaning their heads over his lap. As for Sara, she sat in front of him, cross legged, while she and others loosened their clothes, showing lots of their delicacies.
Hye's hands were enjoying themselves like how he used to in the past years. After experiencing the pleasure of being with Hye, and after giving birth to his kids, every girl grew up to be more refined and sexier.
"I need to go and expand the foundation of our home," Hye spoke in a tone that was totally different than when he spoke with his generals and officials. These girls were the closest to his heart, and so he dropped the strong and confident look, returned to show his normal and human weak side.
Hye wasn't the same giant one with wings like he used to look at the end of the apocalyptic trial. He trained on his cultivation and managed to control his wings and body. Right now, his wings were merging perfectly with his back, able to be released the moment he wanted to.
As for his gigantic body, he managed to shrink its size to return almost half of normal human size. He used the help of the god race in that aspect, as they were the ones who used to show such miraculous changes with each upgrade of their level and powers.
"You can leave all this life and continue to live in peace," Lily touched his face, while the other girls touched different parts of his body, stirring up a little thing in particular in response to all these soft touches.
"I can't," he tried to resist the urge to flip them on their backs, strip them from all the clothes they wore, and threw himself into the middle of such heaven, "I need to make sure the legacy I'll leave to our kids and grandkids isn't just a small and weak piece of land. Besides, this isn't me…"
"We know," Sara started to approach him, slowly walking on four, while her two lumps were swinging right and left, until they filled his entire vision, "so… Can we see how you are going to deal with your enemies?"
"Oh, you are playing a dangerous game," Hye couldn't resist the fire in his heart anymore, extended his hands, grabbed Sara with one, and with the other he pulled Isac to his side, "let me show you all how fierce I am…"
And then all the clothes were torn apart like usual, while moans and cries kept ranging from this hole for hours without a single moment of pause.
Hye enjoyed himself during the next few days with his girls. The news of his departure was enough to let his girls feel the longing for him even before he'd left.
As he played and had his fun, he didn't neglect thinking about the adventure he intended to make. He knew where that new world was. But to go there, things weren't that quite simple.
Chapter 1650 Using The Help Of Bringold Impact
It'd be quite easy if he asked for the Toranks to help. Yet if he did so, then they'd butt in, ask for a piece of the entire cake even before he'd move a finger against this world.
He didn't want to do this, didn't want to do the dirty work while others would reap benefits from him. Hye grew mature during the apocalypse and learnt lots of lessons. And one of the most important ones was that if he could take something with his own might, then why'd he try to share it with others?
So to do it, he had to ask for help from an old friend, the Bringold impact. He stopped dealing with them the moment he realised they were scamming him. But he needed help outside the Toranks, and so he started negotiating with them.
In return for many bones, the thing that everyone wanted, he gained access to a long course to a place nearby that world. Hye didn't clearly state his intentions, and just asked for a chance to go out and sightseeing lots of places in the universe.
For the Bringold folks, reasons didn't matter. And even if they suspected he was lying, no one ever asked him anything at all.
A contract was signed, and he paid the price in advance. Now all it remained was for him to inform the middleman about the time of his departure, and they'd arrange things over in a day or two.
Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video]Cardiologist: How to Quickly Lose a Hanging Bellynomorfat.com
The journey would take roughly one week to arrive at his destination. During which, Hye was going to visit five different planets, all belonging to forces other than the big three.
He got an alliance with the Toranks, a deep enmity running with the Hescos. As for Hectors, they were also his enemies. He didn't want anyone to learn about his real goal until he'd land in that world and move his forces there.
He knew the moment he'd start his attack, and even without the consent and agreement of the race controlling that world, the Hescos were expected to move out.
Luckily for him, the area that world was didn't have any planets or races under the umbrella of the Hescos. Yet they were under the control of the Hectors. And he didn't know how they'd react to his sudden intrusion and invasion.
Hye wanted to see their stance, as that would determine the future of that world. If the worst happened and that race held deep grudges against him, then they'd move their armies and come at him.
He didn't actually see this as a bad outcome. In his eyes, he wanted such a result. He wanted the Hectors to start fighting him, so he'd find an excuse later on and expand his territory starting from that world.
In his eyes, this world was like a Trojan horse. He studied everything he could find about how things were done in the universe. And he knew even if areas were under the protection of any scary force or race, that didn't mean they had lots of forces stationed everywhere to protect everything.
Even with the portal network, any force would find it hard to mobilise large armies to aid. And that was true thanks to the insane price needed for these forces to use the portals and send armies over.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm
If the region was under the control of the Hescos, then Hye would have suspected their readiness to spend a fortune to get his head and foil his plans. But his enmity with Hectors wasn't that deep, and there was a little chance for them to send tons of forces over to crush his plans.
Given time, any force could move their forces and come to threaten that world. So Hye had to go to the Toranks and strike a deal with them, preferably after the Hectors would attack him.
And even if they didn't, he'd try his best to taunt them. If he failed, then he'd lean towards accepting this little mishap, and look for another target to repeat the same thing.
Time passed fast, and Hye just arrived at the time of his departure. He already informed the Bringold impact about this date two days ago. He was now standing in the middle of his palace, inside a huge garden that was filled with beautiful looking roses and trees.
The palace was situated in the heart of the main grand city in the world. The world had hundreds of continents, and Isac selected the central one to act as the main governing place for the entire kingdom.
The main city was named after Hye, called the Hye City. it spanned to cover a huge stretch of land, almost one third of the size of this continent. The people living here were mainly the high officials and generals, the high-level army leaders and even wealthy families.
Like any place with peace, prosperity was present. It wasn't weird for many merchants to appear, big trade groups, and from all this, rich folks started to appear.
The main trade in the kingdom was focused over things to train one's cultivation or train one's fighting skills and such stuff. The other aspects like trading delicacies, food, herbs, cloths, and others weren't that common in the kingdom.
That was mainly thanks to Hye himself. He directed the general efforts of his kingdom towards preparing for the upcoming great wars.
"Is it time?" Hye was surrounded by many people right now. All of them were the closest and most authoritative figures in his kingdom. Besides his family members as well.
He never expected to feel such love and attachment to his kids. He was born and raised in a harsh environment, never felt the warmth to be loved by a father and mother.
But when his first kid was born, a girl, he felt like something in his heart got softened. And the more kids he got, the more love he felt towards them.
In his eyes, they were the most precious gems he had in his entire life, the shining stars that made him firmly decide to take such a step and start such an ambitious adventure.
Chapter 1651 Meeting An Old Friend
For them, he was prepared to suffer to let them enjoy a better life, much better and peaceful than what his family gave to him.
"I believe so," Hye raised his head to see a portal appearing out of nowhere. The first step to reach his goal was by going back to the same place he went to many years ago.
Hye never stepped a single foot outside his apocalypse except for two times. At one time, he went to visit a god, and at another he went to visit the Bringold impact.
And right now, that portal appeared to link his world to the world of the Bringold impact.
Hye wasn't the same newbie he was when he went there. He learnt a lot of things already about impacts. Each impact took at least one world as a base for their operations. And the more worlds the impact got, the higher that impact grade and stance in the universe became.
ραΠdαsΝοvεl ƈοm The Bringold impact was indeed a mediocre one as Hye previously expected. It controlled just ten worlds, a little figure compared to the big shots. Comparing it with the impact Silverlining was working for, it was clear how weak and powerless they were.
Silverlining's impact controlled a staggering two hundred worlds or even more. That was mainly thanks to the huge support it got from the Toranks race and empire, a thing that all the big empires and races did in the universe.
Hye knew in the past years that Silverlining's impact was just a front of the Toranks race. And that meant whatever deals he made with him, were in fact deals with the race and empire.

"Make sure you are going to be safe," the farewell was indeed quite bitter and surprising to all. Hye never expected to grow such strong ties with his girls, with his family, with his trusted men, with his kingdom.
Yet when he saw how tearful they were by his departure, he became more affirmative at his earlier decision.
"I'm going to make our home flourish and grow to become the strongest force in the entire universe," he took such a vow to himself while stepping slowly and firmly towards the portal.
He engraved their faces, this entire picture to his mind while the world around vanished and was replaced with pure silver fog.
He was going out after twenty years, and he intended to make such a first trip worthy to shock the entire universe.
The blinding brightness vanished after a few minutes. It was the same when he went before to visit this impact. And when he arrived there, he found himself standing in the middle of a big hall, with no one else there except one.
"Long time no see," Hye recognised his old friend from the first glance, "you still look as fabulous as ever."
She was the green nymph lady, the one who he met and interacted with before. "I see you are still as naughty as ever, hahahaha!" she laughed, while pointing towards a small, rounded table on one side with four seats there, "let's sit and speak. It sounds like ages have passed since we last talked."
"Is there anyone else coming?" Hye followed her there and asked while motioning towards the other two empty seats.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm
"Well, many wanted to meet the celebrity, the young prodigy who shook the entire universe twenty years ago. But the impact leaders saw it better for you to deal with someone you are already familiar with."
"They are correct indeed," Hye nodded, looking around, "nice place. I don't recall being here before."
"Your only visit here was limited to the auction hall and my room," she softly chuckled, placing a playful expression on her face, "do you want to go and check that room again?"
"Perhaps at another time," Hye knew she wanted to deepen her ties with him using her bed. But he already got enough joy from his girls to not need to touch any random woman like her, "tell me, how is the impact doing?"
"As if you don't know this," she bitterly smiled, "you are the main reason behind our current situation."
"I did nothing," he shrugged, but he knew what she was referring to. In fact, the impact was always weak and had a low stance, but it controlled double the worlds it got now.
Twenty years ago, and when they dealt with Hye, they made lots of future deals to secure more income. At that time, they got the courage to buy more worlds and add them to their belongings, doubling even their world count.
But when Hye cut all ties with them, they ended up in a very tough situation. Many came asking for compensation, and they ended up with just the ten worlds they got right now.
Hye didn't feel any guilt at all in what happened to them. They wanted to scam him and ended up getting screwed by their wrongdoings. He got nothing to do with any of that. If they dealt with him honestly and with dignity, then he'd never sought any other impact but them.
In return for that, they'd have ended up having a hundred worlds, or even better.
"You could have negotiated with us," her face was getting darker the more she spoke, the more she recalled the tight times she and the impact had to live through thanks to him, "we could have fulfilled any desire of yours, no matter what!"
"If you betrayed me once, you'll betray me forever," Hye didn't show any courtesy and said what he truly felt, "but as you can see, I didn't blacklist you."
"Lucky for us," she showed a smile that wasn't one, "but this is just a onetime deal. We want more, if possible, of course."
"Hmm… You do know whom I've dealt with after breaking ties with you, right?"
"The Toranks race got a huge empire and a very wealthy impact, they don't need anyone like you by their side," she indeed knew what Hye did after leaving her impact.
Chapter 1652 I Want Something From You
"That doesn't matter," Hye shrugged, "I only want things and they provide them with insane amounts and quality. Not to mention they didn't screw me like you did."
"Come on, don't hold your grudges this deep," she rolled her eyes, leant forward a little bit to expose more of her fluffy chest gems, "tell me, can't you spare a little of what you need and let us do it for you? We are ready to satisfy any desire of yours, no matter what."
The last part she said in a very soft tone, while even touching her neck in a lewd way. Hye cleared his throat and didn't get really affected by such temptation.
ραndαsΝοvεl.cοm "I got something that the Toranks impact won't suffice or heal me with," he suddenly said after long moments of awkward silence.
"For real? If they can't do it, how can we?" She felt like what Hye wanted was something impossible. If the number two race in the universe couldn't help him with it, how could her meagre impact do it?
But she mistook everything. The reason behind the Toranks inability to do it was for their fear that Hye would grow outside their control. They were the type that wanted to gather lots of talents, refusing to let any of these to flourish and leave their side one day.
In fact, Hye didn't directly ask and just hinted his desire to Silverlling. The latter responded after a few days with subtle rejection, clarifying the real stance of the Toranks race.

That was why Hye didn't inform them about his current adventure. And that was also why he sought the help of the Bringold impact.
He knew he brought them lots of trouble thanks to the conflict of interest between the two sides. It was better in his eyes to deal with someone who already tasted the beauty of his bones, rather than looking for another impact who didn't know the true value and power of the bones.
"It's not that hard to do," Hye calmly said, "what I want is something you can easily provide to me, something you proved to be able to do."
"For real? Then tell me, what is it?" she got instantly hyped up on the surface, but she still had her own reservations.
When she thought again towards the current bad situation of the impact, she couldn't help but change her mindset. No matter what Hye would ask for, as long as he was ready to pay the services using bones then she was sure the impact higher ups would accept.
"I want worlds," but what Hye said was totally out of what she initially thought about, "I already know you purchased more worlds before. So you can do it again, right?"
"This…" she was indeed quite taken aback, "it's indeed true we can do it, but the price tag for any world isn't that simple…"
"What do you mean?" Hye grinned evilly, "with bones, anything can be solved."
"..."I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm
She knew he was right, and the way he said it made her realise something. 'He changed…' she realised how mature and confident Hye was. He wasn't the same hesitant and unsure human, but someone who truly knew what his true value was, what the true value of his bones was.
"So, how much will this cost me? And when can you do it?" Hye didn't even wait for her to say yes or no. As she knew about the bad situation of the impact, he also was aware of this.
The impact was burdened with tons of debts, not to mention lots of their customers left them after losing the promised bone deals from long ago. Hye's offer right now was least described as the saving straw of the entire impact. Not to mention what he asked for was something that he was willing to pay a real fortune to get.
Hye knew there were two formal ways to gain worlds in the universe, but there was also another one that was limited only to impacts and merchants.
This method wasn't mentioned directly in any record Hye read about this issue, he just deduced it from the information and history of many impacts.
"I don't know if you know it or what, but the worlds offered for sale are always barren worlds, without any sign of life on them. They need lots of work and wealth, tons of wealth actually. Not to mention you need the help of experts to change the general atmosphere of the planet to make it inhabitable. It's not as easy and cheap as you may think…"
"Just tell me how much that will cost me in bones," even with all her words, Hye never showed a single change on his face.
He already knew about all of what she just said. And he knew the worlds purchased weren't inhabitable to begin with. In fact, the process of making these worlds was still a mystery.
They just appeared out of nowhere, black and dead colossal rocky balls, with no oxygen or water, without anything that could support life there.
But with the help of special impacts, these words could be transformed from being deadly into something similar to any normal world in the universe. Yet the process was known to be time consuming and required tons of wealth.
In the eyes of the big races, doing this was pointless. Why would they pay an astronomical amount of wealth in return for worlds they could get for free from the apocalyptic trials?
As for the weaker races, they were poor to begin with. So even if they wanted to do it, they didn't have the capital or ability to do it.
That was indeed different for Hye. he got his bones and could use them to purchase anything he wanted.
After the apocalypse ended, Hye kept touring the new world and gathered endless bones. In addition to that, he repeatedly visited the training camps of his armies, either in Grand or the Second Earth worlds.
Chapter 1653 The Collosal Ironclad Star System Formation
Hye kept gaining bones steadily. Of course, it wasn't like the times of the apocalypse and great wars, but it was at least better than nothing.
"Well… That depends on the type of bones you plan to use," she paused, while showing a greedy expression on her face, "last time I checked, the universe was speaking about three different general types of bones, each had many grades within. So which bones do you plan to use?"
ραndαsΝοvεl.cοm Hye laughed when she said these words. It was expected though, as the Toranks race didn't act low profile when they boasted about having his bones.
It was expected for her to learn about his bone types, and even grades. "I'm going to use two types of bones," he took out one normal bone and one dark realm bone, "but this one won't be sold in high quantities."
He pointed towards the dark realm bones. Even if he got tons over tons of these bones, he didn't have any means to get his hands on more of them.
The bones he got from the training camps were all normal bones. If not for his utmost desire to solve this problem of lacking worlds, and solve other related issues as well, he'd never have taken out any dark realm bones.
"You have to give me samples, and time to check with others. I'll return with the price tag for these worlds, and how long it'd take to transform them. You want us to handle this part as well, right?"
"Sure," he shrugged as if this didn't matter much to him, "but beware, if you tried to act smart again, I will close this page and won't speak with you about it ever again."
"I know, I know," she bitterly smiled, "no need to remind me of this. You can stay here for now and give me a day or two before returning with the good news."
"By the way," before she'd take a few steps away, Hye casually stopped her, "I also want these worlds to be moved to a certain place in the universe. In addition to that, I want one of the Sealing impacts to lay down the foundations of the Collosal Ironclad Star System Formation."
"The most invincible defensive formation in the entire universe? Damn! Do you even know how much a single formation costs?!!!" she was taken aback when she heard this.
This formation was indeed quite scary. It didn't just defend one world, but it enveloped a zone in space, protecting anything lying in the middle of it.
It got another nickname in the universe, the Singularity Formation, referring to its ability to turn any spot in the universe into a place similar to Hye's second Earth world.
"You can't be serious!" she was still shocked and didn't believe what he just said, "the single price of this formation is enough to purchase a hundred, no, hundreds of these rocky worlds and transform them!"
"I want this," Hye didn't flinch even when she said, "just make the arrangements."I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm
"What a crazy human you are," she looked at him with softened eyes, "tell me, can I give myself to you? A man like you is worthy to spend a lifetime with."
She didn't just use her eyes, but even got closer and used her soft tentacles, even touching the sensitive part of his.
"Stop it," he gently pushed her away, "it's not that you are bad, it's just I'm here for business."
"Then next time I'm coming over for fun, deal?" She didn't wait for his permission, went ahead and placed a soft kiss over his lips, "I'll make sure you will regret not getting me to your private room much earlier."
"Let's see about it," Hye just smiled, didn't give her any answer at all. She was indeed sexy and hot, and she totally fell for him. He knew she didn't like him, but liked the idea of being so wealthy and daring in spending such wealth.
Many folks were rich, but not as many were courageous enough to spend such wealth and enjoy themselves. Hye watched her leave, with a reluctant look on her face as if she didn't want to get separated from such a treasure trove.
Before leaving, she asked him about the place he had in mind. She thought he'd point towards the location of his hidden home, and that meant she could go and visit him there.
Least to her knowledge that a bigger scheme was in play. "Just let them tell you the price, and I'll provide the location at the right time," he simply evaded answering this question. And that made her more confirmed in her misunderstanding.
"I hope she can do this," Hye started to examine the place he was in. It was a huge hall, one that looked more to be a meeting room than a residence for outsiders.
The place had many rounded tables, lots of seats, and few statues that were made out of bronze and back coloured ores. These statues depicted lots of creatures, supposedly legendary and mythical.
Aside from this, the hall opened to three other rooms. One got a large bed, filled with curtains and soft pillows. The second got another smaller version of the meeting hall outside. And the third was something that attracted his attention.
"A library of records? Interesting…" Hye might have changed in many aspects, but his hunger for knowledge never dried up or withered. The moment he saw such a huge library with recording beads aligned in shelves, he didn't hesitate and started surfing through them.
As he expected, they were speaking about lots of knowledge of the history of the universe, the current situation of different powers and forces, even a few secrets and lots of rumours circulating in the universe.
He knew lots of information mentioned in these beads, but he still found lots more that were new to his ears. He started to lose himself in getting to know more of this information, and lost track of time.
Chapter 1654 They Are Coming
The two days the nymph lady said before turned into an entire week. During which, Hye kept resting, eating the delicacies brought by the servants of the impact to his place, and spent all of his time listening to the recording beads.
He wasn't in a hurry to leave. After all, he wanted to secure this deal to secure another way to gain more worlds. Not to mention the formation he wanted to establish was the cornerstone for many of his future plans.
So even if she took a month, he wouldn't complain. Luckily for him he got tons of the beads that got information and history he wasn't aware of. And that made him quite amused and not getting bored or anxious by his stay here.
During this time, he also made sure to contact his family, girls and kids, from time to time. They were quite anxious for his departure, always showing a worried and sad look over their faces.
Hye reassured them that things were going ok, but he'd take a little longer than the one-week period he initially thought of. At the same time, he asked them to keep preparing the armies and make them ready to mobilise at any notice.
Hye stayed inside that room for a week, then the lady nymph returned. From the look on his face, she knew he didn't get enough sleep. And from the look on her face, he knew she got good and bad news.
Her face wasn't gloomy, but she was clearly carrying bad news. "You didn't sleep that much, if you want you can keep these beads. We have more copies of them everywhere."
"Thanks," Hye didn't act polite and took all the recording beads from the shelves, a move that got an elevated eyebrow from her.
"Anyway, tell me what happened," Hye said while collecting the beads shamelessly, "I can tell you have bad news."
"And good news as well."
"But start with the bad, I hate to end the talk with bad news rather than good ones," Hye shrugged, "just throw it in my face."
"Them," she sighed, "there is a bunch of bad news, not just one."
"For real?" Hye paused for a moment before laughing, "don't tell me the Hescos are coming here."
"Well… That happened," when she said it, she expected Hye to freeze, have his body trembling, or show any sign of fear or worry. Yet he didn't do any of that. In fact, he kept collecting the beads without any worry or pause.
"Aren't you afraid?!!" seeing him like this made her unable to control her surprise.
"I already knew they would come," he shrugged, "and I'm sure they have lots of eyes over me and my kingdom. So it's expected for them to find me soon."
"But… They are sending an army here," her face didn't look that good, "and the higher ups are panicking."
"Good for them," Hye didn't even show a single sign of care or worry.
"Come on! You do know we can't fight them!"
"Then flee," Hye shrugged, "I'm sure they aren't here for you, but for me. So when I'm gone, spread the word and they'll chase after me like bees after honey."I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm
"..."
His calm and coolness made her unable to say a single word. "Just tell me the rest, what else?" she kept her silence, only glaring at Hye until the latter finished what he was doing.
"Tsk! I don't know if you are acting cool or if you are fearless… Anyway, their army is five days away from here. If we move out now, we can outrun them."
"We? Are you coming with me?!"
"As you said, it's better for us to run away, hahahaha," she finally broke free from the fear spell she was under, "we are going to move away from here. I'll come to guide you around."
"Don't tell me you are going to shut down your business," Hye joked, and she rolled her eyes in return.
"They are here for you, not us. Once we evacuate the world, we'll seal and shut it down. After a few months, we'll return back and continue operating from here."
"Good," Hye paused, "tell me what else you have in here?" he pointed to his head, and she bitterly smiled.
"I know you said any price will do, but the negotiations with the impacts responsible for remodelling these worlds didn't go that well."
"Because?"
ραndαsΝοvεl.cοm "They interfered," she sighed, "in fact, they learnt about your presence here from this."
"For real?" Hye didn't know this, but when the Bringold impact started asking around, few eyes got attracted over this issue. After all, it wasn't common for a low-grade impact to ask for such service, and in such a grand number.
Soon the Hescos started to link the dots. They dug up everything Hye did in the past, and knew he had ties with the Bringold impact.
Even without proof, they sent out an army to investigate the impact. And that was how things went seriously in the past few days.
The nymph lady explained what happened, and Hye couldn't help but lament his bad luck. It was indeed hard to fight against the number one race. And they weren't the type to take their grudges lightly.
"At least you reached a deal with one impact, right?" Hye threw all this behind his back. If things went like he planned, then no one would be able to stop him.
"The grand formation impact agreed but asked for a scary figure in return for doing this," she sighed, "we tested the bones you gave to us. If we used the gold grade bones, then we'll need a staggering number of one hundred million of them. If we used any lower grade bone, we'll need much higher than that, billions even…"
"No problem," Hye knew she was feeling like this thanks to the old experience of them doing business before. He always traded in a low number of bones, never showed her the true and scary financial might of his.
Chapter 1655 Let's Run Away Then
A hundred million bones? That was nothing! And she was speaking about the normal bones. If he used the dark realm bones, this number would be much lower.
To him, this was nothing! "Are you sure?! The price of just a single world is enough to be in tens of millions of gold grade bones…"
ραndαsΝοvεl.cοm "I want a hundred," the first thing he said was something quite scary, ending up for her to glare in silence towards him for a few minutes.
"Don't give me this look, I told you already, I can pay," he shrugged, "but as you can tell, I have a few anxious dogs barking at me anywhere I go. So it'll be nice if everything is done fast, very fast."
"Hmm… The process of modifying the dead rocks into planets needs time," she paused, "but… If we added fifty percent extra, we could have it done in just one month."
"And the formation?" Hye knew that the most important pillar of his plan was this formation.
"It won't take longer than a couple of weeks," she brought the good news over at last, "once the payment is done, things will start rolling and they'll begin working…"
"I won't pay until we leave here," Hye knew what she wanted, and he made it clear about his conditions.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go," she still didn't believe he'd pay all of this wealth. She knew he was supplying the Toranks impact by bones back at the time of his apocalypse. Yet she and many others in the universe thought wrongly that he ran out of his stock of bones.
That was mainly thanks to the few dealings he had with the Toranks impact since then. Hye didn't need much from the Toranks, only cared about getting to know the history and secrets of the universe, acquiring any strong weapons, and getting essential things like the spaceships and such.
She didn't even hesitate and moved fast, taking him outside the place, heading through many corridors, ending up at a giant hall.
There he found a ready portal, lots of people going through it. He didn't need to ask to know what was going on. The entire impact was evacuating, and they were going to board this portal to go out.
"We are going to a nearby planet," she said as they approached the portal, "it's a place that's filled with portals leading to many places. We can start from there and head towards another planet, where we'll hire a spaceship and fly towards the planet you want."
"Oh, how come you know the planet I'm heading towards, and I didn't tell you before about it?" Hye raised an eyebrow when he heard such words. He told her about a region where he wanted to reach but didn't tell her about his real destination.
"Come on! I don't need to say its name clearly," she laughed, seemingly enjoying such a reaction from him, "don't worry, I kept such knowledge to myself… After all, I want to get rewarded from you."
She said the last piece while winking in a tempting way. Hye couldn't help but smile and said nothing.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm
"I know you the best out of all the people you met before, don't forget I met you when you were just nobody, fearing that anyone will lean on you and die," she laughed, reminding him of the time the two met before when he was just starting the apocalypse.
"Let's talk after leaving here then," Hye didn't want to continue such talk. If she guessed what he was after, and he still couldn't believe it, then it was better to talk away from all this crowd first.
As for her goal, Hye already guessed she was going to have it done. And he got the feeling that she planned to stick to his side much longer than he expected.
The portal was gigantic in size, enough to remind Hye of the old portals that hovered on top of the cities and big towns before the apocalypse. Endless stream of people kept moving in one direction towards the portal, before they passed through and vanished.
There was no pause, no time for the portal to reset or something. The portal kept eating up people like it was a beast with a bottomless belly.
And soon it was their turn. Hye passed through many portals before. Yet this time it felt a bit different.
The portal took him into a world of darkness, a place that he never saw before. All around him was fog, and he felt the force pulling him getting stronger and fiercer with each passing minute.
Out of reflex, he released his wings, prepared mentally for a fight. He didn't know why he felt so, but soon enough the world brightened up and the darkness vanished.
"Oh, nice wings you have there," the moment his feet landed on the ground, he heard the cheerful voice of the nymph lady, "at least you survived the Wrathful Black portal without vomiting…"
She didn't continue her words before she leant to the ground and started to vomit. She wasn't the only one doing this, but many people around did the same.
"Are you alright?" he didn't feel weak or bad, yet she seemed to grow weak. She leant on the ground, with a shaky body, unable to even stand up.
"G… Give me a minute…" She couldn't continue her words before vomiting again. Hye ignored all this and started to inspect the place he arrived at.
He now knew why he felt weird about that portal. It seemed like some sort of emergency portal, one that could take them away, take any number and teleport them far from the place of danger.
Yet it came with side effects as it seemed. Aside from the people suffering from the weird portal, the world around was indeed quite special.
There was no sky, or perhaps there was but it was replaced with tons of floating islands made entirely out of metal. The islands weren't just bulks of metal floating up there, but they were arranged in circular discs, one on top of another, with pillars that held these discs in place.
Chapter 1656 Gathering Intel About The World
Hye stood in his place watching the discs that spanned for hundreds of metres off the ground, stretched for thousands of metres with their unique formation and line up.
The ground wasn't empty or flat but filled with grand buildings that stretched towards the horizon. The discs were linked to the ground by flashes of light, forming something like flexible tunnels.
ραΠdαsΝοvεl.cοm From the flashing dots, Hye could tell how active and bustling the traffic was. This was the first time for Hye to see something grand like this, something that gave him an awe and deep admiration.
Hye was checking the entire world around, wanting to spread out his wings and start to fly. The place here was indeed special, and he was sure it must be part of a very large force.
Yet after the lady nymph and others got healed from the backlash of getting teleported here, she explained that this place was actually neutral.
That came as a true surprise for Hye. "Then… How come they built such a grand place without worrying over defending it? Don't tell me the big forces and races don't want this place! Even I want it!!"
"Hahahaha, quite funny, hahahaha!" she laughed, in a sweet way while leaning slightly over him, as she whispered, in a way to tempt him more than trying to hide what she was going to say, "this place is protected by the same type of grand formation you want to buy."
"This… But we came here, how come…" Hye felt like a cold bucket of water fell on his head. He thought that formation was impregnable and wouldn't allow anyone to jump over the area of space it protected.
Seeing his face made her laugh, "We already gained access from the owners of this world. Or do you think such a scarily expensive formation is weak or something?"
"Phew," Hye heaved a sigh of relief, "you gave me a scare just now. Ok, where shall we go? Are we safe here?"
"Luckily for you, this place doesn't have any good ties with the Hescos. It happened a long time ago, some sort of a big war erupted over this place. Then the owners had to establish the grand formation, ending up suffering tons of losses and they didn't forget their grudge even till now."
"Interesting," Hye's eyes shone brightly when he heard that, "I want to buy a place here then."
"You… Hahahaha! Fine, but you need to be ready for the crazy prices you'll hear. Besides… they may not accept your bones."
"No one can refuse my bones," Hye said as if it was something granted or something.
"Fine big boy, let's go around and take a tour then," she winked, "perhaps we can find a good place and live there for a period of time, wait until the heat over you get lowered."
"We won't stay here for long," Hye rolled his eyes, "I have a job to do."
"I'm in, if you forgot about that," she laughed again, and this time Hye remained silent.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm
She wasn't the only leader who came here with the folks from the impact. Yet she had to take care of many things. Hye stood by the side, leaving them to do what they needed to do, and started to gather intel about this place.
Hye wasn't delusional, knew that he had no real power. Since the apocalypse ended, he had no way to get his hands on the U stat crystals. And that made him currently lying at the rock bottom of the power scale in the entire world.
Yet he didn't feel any fear or worry. He knew without getting into a real fight, no one would know how truly weak he was. And all he had to do was to avoid any tough situation.
But he knew he was in front of a golden chance here. This place was like a gigantic market, one where tons of races and forces gathered. And so it was safe to expect seeing lots of hard to get stuff from the normal means.
So he started to listen to the side talks from the passersby. When Hye thought the sudden appearance of the Bringold impact folks here would attract attention, he was surprised to know that none even cared about them.
It seemed such a sight wasn't rare, and that didn't bring any attention from anyone walking around except for momentary gazes.
Aside from that, Hye started to listen to lots of useful intel about this place. As he guessed, this world was like a colossal marketplace. And to his surprise, he heard a shocking discussion about how this sight he was seeing expanded and covered up the entire world, as if it was made out of a single colossal city or something.
Hye then learnt about the presence of lots of big merchant groups, acting on a much bigger scale than any normal high-grade impact.
He didn't hear any detail about the goods sold there, but he could easily guess the type of these items. By the time the Bringold impact started to organise stuff here, he also knew lots of useful intel about this world.
It was called the Galnar world, one that was controlled by the descendants of five ancient races. These races weren't at any other place in the universe but here. And Hye realised that these five races were different from the ones he rescued twenty years ago.
The families of the five races were united, controlling most of the business running inside the world. Almost eighty percent of the big merchant groups and impacts working here belonged to them. And the rest had to share thirty percent of their stocks with them.
"I see you enjoyed your time while I was working," the green nymph lady gave him a blaming look, and Hye didn't feel any bad about what she said.
"Are you free now?"
"Planning to have fun with me or what?"
"We don't have that much time, at least I don't," Hye faintly smiled, "I want to go and visit the Bravity auction house."
Chapter 1657 Going To One Of The Discs
"Oh, you did collect lots of intel in such a short time," she said in admiration, "you get to know the name of the richest and biggest merchant group in mere minutes, bravo."
"I want to restock before our adventure," Hye didn't say what he truly wanted, "do you know the way?"
"Follow me," she said in an amused tone, "and while walking, can you let me know what you plan to buy? And don't give me any bullshit, you know I belong to an impact. So, if you can't find what you want at my place, I have the right to know."
"Be patient and you'll know in time. You are always acting like this!"
"Who said merchants have patience? Hahahaha!" she laughed, but he didn't say anything as they walked inside the huge buildings around.
This world was ancient, and the people living here proved that peaceful times weren't supposedly bad in the end. The people leading this world took advantage of the peaceful long time they got and built such a marvel.
ραΠdαsΝοvεl.cοm Hye was sure this was mainly because of the crazy gains entering their pockets with each passing day. And yet it was still admirable that they kept developing and flourishing themselves in such a way, not leaning towards acting lazy and doing nothing worthy.
Hye didn't just watch to admire everything around, he walked and tried to learn. It was his first time to go out, and he was lucky enough to meet such a successful model of business and administration.
This visit that came out of the initial plan was going to leave a grand touch over Hye's future.
The path towards the place of the Bravity auction house was long and their walk was blocked lots of time with a dense crowd. They had to wait in a long queue to board an elevator, one of the many tubes that Hye saw before taking lots of people up and down from the floating discs.
"Are you telling me an entire group of these discs belong to that group?!!!" Hye was shocked when he heard such words from the nymph lady.
"What? Do you think they are poor like us? Hahahaha!" she laughed, feeling amused by what he just said, "let's go, it's our turn."
Hye found himself in front of a gigantic capsule. It was perfectly placed inside a colossal tunnel, one that extended from the ground all the way towards the sky. The capsule was around one hundred metres in height, fifty in width, and it had levels inside, around fifteen, with each level having enough space for any giant race to stand perfectly fine there without any issue.
To board this capsule, people had to move according to the instructions of the workers around. Hye and the nymph lady went to a spot on the side, where they got ejected up by a gale of wind before stopping at the seventh stage and they boarded it.
Then the capsule started to close up, as if it was perfectly encapsulating itself upon those inside, before starting to move.
"It's a remarkable technology," Hye sighed, "I can't even feel the slightest vibration when moving."I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm
"It's an advanced tech produced by special engineers here," she paused before adding, "don't dream about purchasing this, as this is considered one of many top secrets of this world."
"My bones can open any locked door."
"Money can't buy everything," the nymph lady rolled her eyes, "you have to accept such a fact."
Hye rolled his eyes and kept his silence. He knew she got a point, but she didn't know he had special types of bones, ones that one would worth a fortune or a price of such a secret.
Hye didn't want to use his Holy Ones bones or high-grade dark realm bones to exchange with anyone. Even when he spoke with the Toranks about the spaceship's technology, he didn't even consider using these bones.
But if he could use his bones to get his hands over the blueprints of this entire world, and gain lots of technologies used here to build such a marvel, then he wouldn't hesitate to do it.
To do it, he knew just walking around and waving with his bones wouldn't do. He needed to build up a name for himself, and luckily, he got good help coming on the way.
As he was thinking about how to lure the five ancient families to take the initiative and contact him, how to build a fame in this place on his first visit, the capsule carrying them started to approach the disc layer in the sky.
The sight that appeared in front of his eyes, of everyone's eyes, was just breathtaking. The discs that he saw from the ground appeared more complex, not just formed out of single thick layers of metal or something.
In fact, each disc layer was like a structure in itself. Hye could see smaller and thinner layers that got connected to each other using small rods and balls like pieces that spanned all the way all over these discs. It was just a marvellous sight, one that told Hye this wasn't just simple layers of discs.
His desire to acquire such technology began to grow wild and out of control. They passed through many disc layers, before ending up at the top of one of these discs.
Each grand group of discs had an entire life over it. Hye saw lots of buildings, wide streets, and tons of people from different races walking through each grand layer.
The layer they stopped at was at the heart of the entire grand structure of discs. And this layer was a bit different. The number of grand buildings here wasn't that much, yet at the heart of this layer a very colossal and massive structure was there.
It was a unique building, one that took the shape of a twelve headed star, with an empty centre that had more buildings inside and a large garden.
Chapter 1658 Guessing His Intentions
Hye was standing so far away from that grand building, but it seemed the designers of this place intended to keep all the buildings around at a much lower level than this one, adding more prestige to this building and importance.
"That's the Bravity group main headquarter," the nymph lady noticed his eyes stuck to that building, "it's amazing, right?"
"Indeed," he nodded in agreement, "are we going there?"
"There? No way! That place is a fortress! No one is allowed to go there without the official invitation from the five families," she rolled her eyes, and Hye knew it was hard to get there. But that made him more interested in doing this.
"Then where are we going?" he looked around, seeing the lots of people walking in the streets and filling the entire disc layer.
"The place is arranged into different sectors," she paused as the capsule stopped, and its outer surface opened up, "let's go. We'll visit the outer sector first. If we manage to attract their attention, then we'll get access to the deeper levels."
"They limit access to their customers?!" Hye was surprised by such an arrangement. He thought everywhere here was open for them to visit, except for the central region. Yet it felt like this wasn't the case.
"They won't allow just anybody to come into the deeper sectors if they are poor," she laughed, while they were walking outside the grand area of capsules and tunnels.

The entire grand structure of these discs was something awe inspiring. Hye felt like he wasn't going to get satisfied with this place no matter how long he stayed here.
ραndαsΝοvεl.cοm And yet they walked outside of the teleportation area alongside a swarm of people of different races. The area was situated at the outer edge of the entire disc layer, and it led into wide streets and plazas.
Hye looked up and unlike what he expected, he saw a marvellous sight of clouds filling the sky. He expected to see the lower level of the upper disc layer, yet the ones designing the entire place took into consideration such little details.
"Living here feels like heaven, sigh," Hye couldn't help but express his admiration towards the beauty of this place. And his comment made the lady nymph chuckle.
"I never saw anyone coming here and didn't want to continue living in this place, however…" She paused, took a deep breath as if she recalled a long-forgotten dream of hers or something, "the prices in this world are quite scary! To hire a place here means you have to sell your soul, and that even may not be enough."
"I have my bones…"
"Screw your bones," she said in a distasteful tone, "do you think everything can be solved with your bones?"
"My bones can't solve anything," Hye paused for a moment, took a long gaze around before laughing, "but they can be sold for a scary amount of wealth. And with it, I can do anything."
"A big bully you are," she even tucked her tongue out, teasing him. Seeing her reaction made him laugh again.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm
He was indeed happy, and more excited than being happy. He didn't feel like these thanks for being in such a heavenly place, but because he dreamt about having all these for himself, for his kingdom, for the empire he was going to build. And that made him more excited than even the moment when he won the apocalypse before.
Recalling the apocalypse made him inwardly sigh. The universe was really big and boundless, filled with tons of wonders and places that no one would ever dream to exist.
He felt like the apocalypse was kindergarten, and the universe was college. The two ended up in front of a five story height building, one where many were standing around and inside.
The building had a big stoney plaza, filled with lots of statues. It was enough to accommodate thousands of people, and it was crowded beyond imagination.
"Is this the place we are going to enter?" Hye didn't know what the difference between the various buildings or sectors in each disc was. But he trusted the lady nymph to know what she was doing.
He wanted to come to the biggest auction house at the Bravity merchant group, to make a stir and attract the higher ups' attention to him.
But it seemed he had to start doing this from the lowest bottom. "We have to visit the outermost auction houses of the merchant group first. If the merchants there highly value our pockets, they'll invite us to visit deeper sectors."
"I see," Hye didn't like doing it the slow way, but he had no other option but to do it this way, "let's go then."
"First, tell me what you want to buy," the lady nymph stopped him. And when he looked in doubt towards her, she added, "as you can see, there are different groups of merchants here, each is specialised in dealing with a certain set of goods."
"How can you differentiate them?" Hye noticed the different groups of merchants already. But they all wore the same outfit and didn't have anything remarkable about their looks to begin with.
"We can ask," she said something that he didn't expect. And his expression made her laugh at him, "come on, tell me what you want."
"I want to purchase valuable goods."
"There isn't anything valuable in the outer sectors," she rolled her eyes, "just spill the beans and tell me exactly what you are looking after."
"Fine, I want to buy technologies, secrets of this world," Hye looked around, "I want to purchase everything they have."
"Quite crazy you are," she shook her head, "let me then guess it… You came from a world of an apocalypse, have no backing, and didn't seek the help of the Toranks impact… That means you are seeking items to increase the might of your people, things that can level up your stats and power up your armies, right? Close enough?"
Chapter 1659 Isn't This The Legendary Human Bone?
Hye didn't find it surprising for her to guess this far. After all, he came from a world of apocalypse without any backing or support. And it seemed to not be a secret how the strong races dealt with others, trying to limit their overall growth and such to keep them under leash.
And with his silence, she took that as an agreement. "So… You must be desperately looking for U. stat crystals, right? You have tons of forces and people, yet they are all weak and considered at the lowest level in the universe, correct?"
He kept his silence again, and she didn't seem like she was bothered by it.
"It's your lucky day then," she chuckled as if she scored something big, "in the outer sector, such crystals are commonly sold. Yet to purchase a huge amount of them needs real fortune. And I know, you have your bones, and you are mighty and all, but there is a law to prevent over-purchasing to enable lots of people to have what they need."
"I can't buy what I need from here?!" Hye was surprised by what she said. He thought the only problem in front of anyone was money, and now he realised there might be something else.
"Of course not! If they let anyone at the outer sector buy what they need, they won't suffice all of their needs and the prices will grow to a scary level. Not to mention this will greatly impact the balance in the universe and lots of forces won't be happy about this. In addition to that, the number of crystals the world has isn't even enough to let one percent of the people coming here to purchase freely."
"Does such a limitation only apply to the outer sectors?" Hye got what she meant, and he didn't find any of these reasons weird. Yet he also got that such limitations were only applied at the outer sectors.
"That's expected, after all those coming to the inner sectors are considered customers with deep pockets. And they aren't there just to purchase the low-grade goods like the crystals."
"I understand," Hye paused, looking around before adding, "let's find a way to get into the inner sectors then."
ραΠdαsΝοvεl ƈοm "Follow me," the lady nymph smiled in a charming way. Before Hye would move a muscle, she moved swiftly and landed by his side, grabbed his arm and surrounded it with hers, "let's go as a couple then. This will solve lots of problems later on."
"Problems like what?" Hye didn't believe what she said and rolled his eyes in response. And yet she was shameless enough to smile and say nothing.
Hye knew she was bluffing, but he didn't say anything to stop her. He knew it was futile to stop what she was adamant at doing. So, he decided to let it go and enjoy the moment.
The two walked towards one group of merchants who were surrounded by the fewest number of people. Hye didn't mind this, as he didn't want to stay for long inside the outer sector.
"There are just fewer people here than anywhere else," Hye stood at a shorter line than other places with merchants doing business there. I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm
"It's because these merchants deal with stolen goods only," what the lady nymph said made him freeze in his spot, not moving an inch. "What's wrong? Come on, they won't bite."
"Why are we going to meet them?" Hye looked around, didn't even take a single step forward even when the line started to move, "we can wait at any other line."
"No need, they deal with stolen goods but it's not that illegitimate," the lady nymph chuckled, placing her palm over her slightly opened mouth, "there isn't a problem in dealing with them."
"How so? These goods are all stolen!" Hye didn't find anything funny in what she was saying. At the same time, he didn't get how she could consider purchasing stolen goods to be ok, and in the middle of the day like this!
"As you can see, they are allowing it," she laughed again, "these goods are stolen, but the criminals are already captured and in prison. They are ownerless, and so the big merchant groups are taking their share and selling them."
"Ah, it's different this way," Hye was starting to change his viewpoint about this world if these goods were really stolen. This would better suit a dark place or a den of thieves, not something that would be part of such a great place.
"Let's go," she led the way. And they didn't need to wait for long. When Hye was puzzled by how swiftly the exchanges that went before with the last customers were, he realised the reason the moment he arrived in front of one of the merchants.
He was wearing the same attire as others in this place, with a logo over their chests. The moment he stood in front of that merchant, he was surprised to see the logo was in fact an exchange interface.
It was black before, yet now it appeared like a turned off screen. "Please touch the interface and everything we offer is there," the merchant said, "if you want to exchange anything, it will automatically happen without the need to do anything with me."
"Thanks," Hye realised that he had to touch that screen then an interface would pop up, "what if I want to use a different method of payment than the coins?"
"This…" the merchant was startled for a second there. Yet when Hye took out one bone, the face of that merchant froze for an entire minute.
"This… Isn't this the legendary bone of that human? How many do you have? We are open to purchase the entire amount you have."
"Well… If you are dealing with me, the human you just mentioned, then I doubt you can even buy a speck of what I have," Hye was satisfied by such a response. And that made it much easier for him to make a name for himself.
Chapter 1660 Securing Crystals At Last
After all, his name wasn't known but his identity was thanks to the bones. When he said these words, it felt like the merchant's mind froze again, and this time his face showed a really dumb and funny expression.
"He is the human who produced these bones and introduced them to the universe," the lady nymph was more amused while toying with this poor merchant. So, she didn't hesitate to show off and confirm Hye's identity, "will you exchange with him or not? We have little time and patience."
Hye gave her a side look but said nothing. He knew she was doing this to not appear as desperate to make this deal, a move that any merchant would see as a red flag for more gains and greed.
"You gotta be kidding me," the merchant finally broke free from the freezing spell, "let me see more bones then. I heard that human have different types of bones, with various strength and might."
"For what?" Hye wanted to take the bones out and further impress this merchant and confirm his identity. And yet he knew he had to gain at least the access to the inner sectors and get what he wanted from the U. stat crystals.
"If you are him, then this place isn't suited for you," the merchant paused, "I can't say much, but you'll gain access to much better sectors. Damn! I hate to see you leave without getting your bones for my goods."
"Then bring me all the U. stat crystals you can get," Hye shrugged, "this is your lucky day. I want as much as you can get me."

"First show me the bones and you can get anything you want," unlike what the lady nymph said, it seemed like the strict rules weren't that strict after all.
"Here," Hye didn't mind taking a sample of his bones. He took out one of each normal bone grade, and a few of the dark realm low grade bones, "are you satisfied now?"
"Damn me! It's really you! Hahahaha! Ok, don't move an inch. I'll go and bring all the crystals I can find, even from other places. Just wait here, ok?"
"Don't worry," Hye laughed, didn't know why this merchant looked this funny while shouting and running at the same time.
"Your bones are indeed magical," the lady nymph shook her head from the side, "he even is going to bend the rules for you."
"That's the power of being wealthy," Hye laughed, enjoying this moment that lasted for an hour. The merchant was really adamant at what he said, and he came back with tons of crystals that he gathered from other places.
"Now, how will we exchange this?" the merchant stopped in front of the bones that Hye still left on the ground, "do you have any idea about the exchange rate?"
"You assess the value of my bones and tell me how much each bone is worth," Hye shrugged, "I won't hustle with you. But if the deal doesn't appeal to me, I'll walk away and look for another place to make the deal."
ραΠdαsΝοvεl.cοm "No, I won't let you down," the merchant instantly got scared, "let me assess the bones then, give me a minute."I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm
Hye didn't know that the merchant was going to get a cut from this deal. And so, he was determined in seeing it happen, even if the deal wasn't that favourable for his bosses.
What he did was to look for news about the bones, and he found lots of them actually. Using the market interface of a merchant, he could find any news shared by other merchants anywhere in the universe.
The value of the bones varied from one report to another, and they all agreed on determining its value based on the ability to get more anytime later on.
For example, the reports that came from the Toranks empire merchants spoke about little prices compared to other reports from merchants coming from other empires and origins. This made the merchant recall how the Toranks scored it huge by their long-term relation with Hye.
When he recalled this, he couldn't help but wonder why Hye was here asking for these crystals from him, and why he didn't go and ask the Toranks to do it for him.
When he thought about this, he realised that Hye needed these crystals. His greed kicked in at this moment, and yet he hurriedly crushed such spontaneous feelings down.
He knew Hye was in need of these crystals, and it seemed the Toranks didn't want to help him. And yet this merchant needed these bones more than anyone else.
Having bones in the world of merchants was like a certificate of power and authority. He'd gain tons of benefits back to these bones. And he knew he wasn't going to be the only person here with such bones.
So the more he gained the better. He thought about many things in a short time, and finally he gave Hye a very good deal.
"I like that," Hye agreed on the spot over what the merchant said. In return for hundreds of thousands of crystals, he'd use just a few hundreds of normal bones, one figure only of his dark realm bones.
It was much better than having nothing. And knowing how the true value of these crystals laid in how hard it was to secure them, Hye knew this merchant did give him a very interesting deal.
"I got billions of crystals, let's do it! And if you need more, you can give me more time and I'll bring you ten folds of this!"
"Deal!" Hye didn't want to struggle again to get these crystals. Having such a huge number might look awesome, but comparing this with the endless number of his kingdom forces and people made this amount dwindle in value.
He needed not only billions of crystals, but also billions of billions if he could. The more he got, the stronger his people would be.
Chapter 1661 Going To The Inner Sector
And yet he didn't get a single crystal yet to try out levelling up his or his forces and people's power. So he didn't know exactly how much he needed.
He planned to instantly consume crystals once he got them, adding points to his stagnant stats for years and see how much he'd need to reach the top. He didn't even know what the top meant, what level was considered top.
"If you give me a day, I'll bring ten times this amount. If you give me more, I'll bring more," the merchant was about to jump and hold Hye's knees to make him agree. And the latter was already eager to wait.
He came here running from his enemies, and he didn't intend to hurriedly leave this safe spot anytime soon.
In fact he planned to mud the water, searching for any hole to instigate trouble between this world's owners and the Hescos.
Doing this would keep the Hescos forces in the region busy handling the unexpected enemy, while he'd slip away without getting noticed.
Hye finally got the U. stat crystals he tried to get for the past twenty years. To him, this was a grand victory, an achievement he was proud of. And he wanted to hurry and try them out.

But the merchant was already flying at sky seven. He didn't give Hye any chance at all as he hurriedly walked him towards the inner sectors.
"You will reach the next sector, and that's where my privilege can reach. I can't take you any deeper, but I'll introduce you to one of my friends. He will take you deeper, and perhaps you can make a deal with him but don't forget about me. I plan…"
The merchant kept speaking about his plans to use the bones, his fears and worries from others making a deal with Hye, his realisation that there wasn't anything in his power to stop such a thing.
His talk didn't stop until they arrived at the next sector. And thanks to that, Hye didn't get a chance to use his crystals and analyse what was going to happen after using them.
Hye expected to see a grand wall lining and separating the two sectors from each other. But when he arrived there, all he could find was just lakes that stretched out for a few miles, few paths walking in between these lakes.
"We are here," the merchant took them through one path, which was around a few hundred metres in width. It got two small towers at its beginning, where Hye found a group of guards waiting there, protecting the path.
"Oh, you can pass," one of the guards identified the merchant leading the two. And without saying anything, the guards moved aside, freeing a space for them to walk over the path.
Unlike the bustling sector they came from, starting from the path things were much calmer. Hye didn't see lots of people on the path, or found as many of them inside the sector they arrived at after walking for a few minutes.
"This is where my friend works," the merchant was acting like their guide, and he was still speaking about various things that didn't interest Hye at all.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm
ραΠdαsΝοvεl ƈοm "I'll go inside and bring him out, wait for me here," the merchant finally moved away, and Hye didn't argue with him. In fact he was eager to kick this merchant away to use his crystals.
"He is a bit funny," the lady nymph chuckled, seemingly amused by Hye's obvious struggle.
"A lot more annoying," he said before taking ten crystal outs. And under the watchful gazes of the nymph lady, he used them at the spot.
"You are eager to level up your stats," she smiled and watched as a white air appeared and surrounded him.
This was the first time he used crystals to level up. And from this point onward, he was officially part of the universe's current power scale.
Hye was indeed feeling a bit weird. When he used the crystals, he felt like every single cell of his body was transforming, changing and getting injected with lots of power.
It was an amazing feeling, one that told him a lot about how greatly he and his kingdom forces and people were lacking. This was just the initial entry stage to the universe's current scale of power. And after he was done, he knew he was like an ant before he went into a fight with anyone from the universe.
Even the weakest person in the universe was strong enough to crush him without any struggle, even if he used his artefacts and techniques.
"It's indeed amazing," he sighed, feeling how urgent he needed to gather tons of crystals and send them for his kingdom to use.
"That's why most of the forces in the universe won't give any uprising power these crystals easily," the lady nymph said something that he could truly agree with, "and don't celebrate yet. There is a system of ten levels in the entire universe's power scale. You just opened the first level, and with each level open, you'll get more power."
"For real?" this was the first time for him to know something like this, "how many crystals should I use to rise up from one level to another?"
"Hmm… Consider each level as an entire apocalyptic one hundred levels," she paused, before adding, "and with each higher level, the number of crystals needed is increased by folds. Buying these crystals will work at your current low level. But after level one, you'll need to secure crystal mines if you want to rise further."
"Damn!" Hye couldn't help but curse out loud, "yet all the mines are controlled by the great forces."
"The universe is insanely vast, almost limitless," she shrugged, "even a low-grade impact like ours has few mines under our control. You just need to look at places without any forces controlling them, at uninhabited places in the universe. There you can find lots of gems and unimaginable treasures."
Chapter 1662 Smugglers
"Thanks," Hye already got his Second Earth world to look around, and he also placed more importance over the plan he was going to execute and the worlds he was going to gain.
He knew the start was always the toughest thing in any plan. And luckily, he got his bones and this world to secure his needs for now.
But from her words, he got sudden interest about something, "if you have any intel about how to get these mines, I'm willing to make a deal with you."
"Me? Or the impact?" she looked at him in a way that was more tempting than questioning his words.
"I want these mines," Hye strictly said, "by any means possible. So will you help or not?"
"You do know the main problem isn't in finding, but in protecting them, right?" she rolled her eyes, and her words conveyed something to Hye.
"So you do know of places with mines, terrific," he rubbed his hands, and there he noticed some sparks that came out from such a casual move, "what the heck is that?!!"
"Hahahaha, this is just a normal side effect after levelling up," she laughed on his expression, "you'll get used to this. Anyway, I do know of places, but can't promise anything about how to protect them. And such knowledge can't wait for a long time, or else the risk of others knowing about these mines will rise."
"I got it," Hye nodded, thinking about everything he planned to do, "tell me, is there a place where lots of mines are gathered?"
"Hmm… Let me check the impact first… Ah, this is a secret between the two of us, ok?"
"Sure," Hye raised his thumb, and he knew he was going to pay less fees for such service this time.
As he waited on the side, she started to communicate with other members of her impact. Hye soon got an answer from her, and it was a very good one.
"There is a list of a few tens of mines recently discovered, however…"
"I don't plan to acquire them for now."
"This… Then why did you let me search for the list?!!!"
"To make sure you are able to get such intel in the first place," he laughed, and his words ended up with her showing an annoyed look on her face, "anyway, let's just finish our business here. When the time is right, I'll let you know about what we shall do."
"Can't you tell me now at least?" She was eager to get more bones from him. And just seeing such a big whale walk away without sharing his wealth with her made her quite frustrated.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm
Before he'd say anything, that merchant returned with another. Hye just shrugged, as if he was helpless about this.
"Here is the esteemed guest of our city, the one I told you about," the merchant introduced Hye to his friend, and the latter showed the same expression on his face as the merchant, one full of admiration and greed.
"Esteemed sir Hye, what can I help you with?" the new merchant said, after sending his friend away, "anything you need, I, Alons, can satisfy it in ways that no one else can."
"That's what I like to hear," Hye turned to the lady nymph, and the latter wanted to say this was just a sly merchant with a sweet tongue and nothing more, "tell me, how much crystals can you get me?"
"Sir wants universal crystals? Let me check the warehouse then," Alons was indeed quite excited about making this deal with Hye. he didn't waste any time and started to check his interface.
"I believe you made a deal with my friend, right?" as he did that, he turned to Hye as if he figured out something, "no need to say anything, sir. I just got this from the recent question my dear friend asked about the value of your precious bones. How about this, I'll give sir all the crystals present in my place, with a twenty percent discount."
"Hmm…" Hye knew this was going to be a trend from now on. If he got a discount from one merchant, others would hear about this sooner or later and start trading with him on such a basis. And yet he didn't want just what this merchant could provide now, he wanted him to work and gather more crystals like his friend.
Hye planned to recruit all the merchants in this sector, all the merchants he'd meet. He wanted them to start a fervent hunt for crystals. As for bones, he didn't care about them at all.
"Sir, if you want, I can give you a thirty percent discount…"
"I want more crystals, can you provide me with more later on?" Hye interrupted the scared merchant, "I'm going to stay here for a month. Can you collect more crystals by then?"
ραndαsΝοvεl.cοm "Sure, sure sir, leave this task to me," Alons patted his chest, almost on the verge of crying out of happiness, "I'm going to collect all the crystals I can get, even contact those smugglers and get more from them."
"Smugglers?!" Hye looked at him in doubt, and Alons seemed to realise he made a mistake by saying such a thing.
"Don't mind this, what truly matters is how many crystals I can get in the end, right?"
"Cool," Hye paused, "but I know nothing of your ways to get them, and won't be held responsible for anything, clear?" he had to stress over this point, make things clear so he wouldn't end up in a big trouble.
And yet he wanted to dig more about these smugglers. Such a world was supposedly secured, tightly shut on the faces of any invaders. Having smugglers meant there were loopholes in the system, and there were people who knew what to do and how to exploit this for their gains.
Hye didn't care about such holes in this world, but he wanted to make sure there was nothing wrong in the entire grand protective formation he was going to purchase.
