Omnipotent Overlord

There was a saying passed on through eons in the universe. One’d rather believe the snow people could cultivate a God Emperor than trust a Devil’s lies. 

The past Li Mo had been at it with the Devils for centuries. He saw them for the materialistic beings they were, capable of any low and selling out anyone to get their interests fulfilled.

Ye Xiaolu said, “What now? With that Soul Scent, won’t changing looks be for nothing?”

“Not quite. Only Lan Ying has our Soul Scent. And she isn’t one to share it with the Nine-headed race and Celestial Fire race.”

“Who the hell cares. If one comes, he dies. If all come, they’ll all die.” The cub was as stubborn as ever.

“The war has yet to come.”

Li Mo put Lan Feng’s corpse in God Prison. Once the natural fire refined it into essence, the God Prison absorbed it.

On the morrow, Li Mo and Ye Xiaolu traded their looks for something else, humans. But the tiber cub turned into a polar bear cub.

It was a funny sight for sure. If not for Ye Xiaolu petting its wittle head, he’d had flipped out.

Li Mo’s aim was the Gu Auction.

Ancient Planet was filled with neat stuff. Besides lost civilizations, there were the drugs Gu Yiming’s science team developed. And Li Mo had to have them. Not just samples, but tons!

The Gu Auction was Gu Yiming’s business, open every day. But only once every ten years would the Rare Auction be held. The name alone spoke volumes of its items.

But regardless of which auction, no one could enter for free. Each person had to spend a million god crystal coins for the average one, while ten million for the rare one.

Ten million would buy one two rank 1 living planets, yet on Ancient Planet, it only got you entry.

The Gu Auction’s invitation was very expensive, yet the queue to get in never dwindled. In this world there were many priceless items so even if the invitation was more expensive, everyone would still come. 

Li Mo’s trio spent three million coins for three invitations.

Yep, even a pet had to buy one.

“Please make way, please make way.”

Li Mo saw a pretty male from snow people clearing a path for a humanoid three-meter thick behind him. 

That thing had a toad head and smoking from a large cigar. The smoke was so thick it choked the others around him.

They were Tama from the Sky Planet. Because Sky Planet made blue ore (not eternal blue ore, since that only came from the essence of blue ore), the Tamas were filthy rich, called moneybags in the universe. 

“Lats Snow, how many times have I told you? You are my servant, Lan Qianyi. You don’t need to be kind to anybody. You’ll make me look bad.”

The man from snow people cleared a path for the Tama merchant Lan Qianyi. But Lan Qianyi didn’t find his attitude pleasing at all. He believed snow people’s humility was a stain on his reputation. 

“Master, I…”

“Get lost!”

Lan Qianyi kicked Lats Snow, making him spin around for a long time before smacking into the ground.

“Master, forgive me…”

Lats Snow crawled to his knees and hanged his head.

Lan Qianyi only snorted.

“One Gu coin. Who wants him can have him!”

“I want him.”

Li Mo flicked the coin to Lan Qianyi.

Gu coin was the currency on Ancient Planet. They were worth a thousand god crystal coins.

A single Gu coin was worth quite the pretty penny on Earth.

Lan Qianyi didn’t lack money and since he didn’t want Lats Snow, he threw him away.

“Take him.”

Lan Qianyi threw the man over.

“Come.”

Li Mo had Lats Snow follow him.

“Master, take care of yourself…”

Lats Snow kowtowed before the Tama.

There were under ten thousand people here and were all watching Lats Snow’s action with scorn.

“How vile, their cowardice is ingrained in their genes.”

“Even Gnolls are better than snow people.”

“At least Gnolls have Gu Yiming. But who do snow people have?”

“Snow people have fools.”

“Ha-ha-ha…”

Under their mockery, Lats Snow kowtowed to Li Mo.

“There’s no need for that.”

Li Mo waved his hand.

A snake head alien passed Li Mo and hissed, “Males haven o value. At least females are worth a hundred thousand god crystal coins.”

The alien sniffed, “As far as I know, human flesh is the best delicacy. I can’t bear it. I need to buy some and have my fill.”

The snake head alien strutted along.

Ye Xiaolu asked, “What, they even sell humans here?”

“With enough money you can buy anything.”

“Humans have a precarious status among the other races.”

“Why precarious?”

“Humans range from weak to strong. Their levels are so mismatched that the weakest humans are like snow people while the strongest are more powerful than the ten strong races. This had the rest of the universe’s races confused.”

“Ha-ha-ha, that means we aren’t bad.”

“Of course not.” Li Mo chuckled.

The three meter large Tama merchant sat in front while Li Mo’s trio in the back.

Even at the average auction there were different kinds of invitation. The one Lan Qianyi bought was worth ten million god crystal coins.

“Is blue ore valuable? Are Tama strong?”

Ye Xiaolu was curious.

“Tamas are average in strength, but their trait allows them to shirk of the poison from extracting blue ore. This is why every planet’s blue ore deposits are monopolized by Tamas. “

“No wonder the toad is so cocky.” Ye Xiaolu exclaimed.
