Chapter 1 The Allure of the Undying

At the extravagant auction, the appearance of the Book of the Undying caused the eyes of everyone present to light up.

Although it wasn't possible to read data like in God's Domain, the powers behind everyone present were at least comparable to first-rate guilds. Their insight and experience were not something free players in God's Domain could match.

"As expected of Tianji Pavilion, the first auctioned item is so amazing!"

The major powers discussed the Book of the Undying that Tianji Pavilion had brought out. Yuan Tiexin was very satisfied with the eager anticipation of the major powers. This was the kind of impact he wanted.

"I think everyone has seen the special nature of this Book of the Undying. For the benefit of the buyer, I won't go into the detailed attributes, but I will briefly describe the general attributes of this ancient book. The book itself is a Dark-Gold ranked item. Although it's only Dark-Gold, it is a super rare item that can revive the dead. This revival can greatly reduce death penalties for players and can also be used on NPCs. I think you should understand the true value of this ancient book," Yuan Tiexin slowly introduced.

Upon hearing this, the crowd's gaze became even more fervent, especially the super forces, whose blood pressure rose considerably.

The effect of reviving players was only so-so, as there were some items and skills in God's Domain that could reduce the death penalty for players.

But the revival of NPCs was a different matter entirely.

Especially for forces with powerful NPC direct guards, although there were other means to revive dead direct guards, these methods were not so easy to accomplish and came at a great cost. They usually didn't dare to let these NPC direct guards take risks.

But the Book of the Undying, as a Dark-Gold ranked item, was not a one-time use item, but could be used countless times. In other words, with this item, those NPC direct guards could be revived at will, without worrying about the problem of death. This effect was stronger than even an Epic ranked item.

"I won't waste any more words. The starting price is 1,000 gold! Each bid must be no less than 50 gold. In addition, this item cannot be bid on using Credits!" Yuan Tiexin shouted.

The moment Yuan Tiexin finished speaking, astonishing prices were heard from the hall.

"1,500 gold!"

"2,000 gold!"

"2,500 gold!"

…

The price quickly climbed to 5,000 gold. The speed of the price increase completely exceeded the expectations of the major powers present. So many gold coins were already causing some first-rate guilds to feel a pang of pain.

Although guilds earned a lot of wealth every day, operating such a large guild also required a lot of gold coins and resources. The major powers had gathered a lot of funds for this auction. Currently, it was impressive for a first-rate guild to have 30,000 to 40,000 gold coins on hand. It was impossible to risk everything to buy one item.

Moreover, the major powers had their own purposes for coming to this auction, which was to buy the items that the guild needed most right now.

"8,000 gold!"

Sitting high in a small box on the second floor, Nine Dragon Emperor directly increased the price by 3,000 gold, causing the major powers in the hall on the first floor to fall silent.

It wasn't that the major powers in the hall on the first floor couldn't afford this amount of gold coins, but if they bought it, they would be in trouble if they didn't have enough gold coins when bidding on the items they really needed later.

"10,000 gold!"

Before the price of 8,000 gold had been announced for even two seconds, Shi Feng in box number eight shouted out an even higher price.

"Who bid that price? So fierce! You could buy an Epic ranked equipment with that."

"It seems like Zero Wing Guild made the bid!"

"They're really crazy. This is just the first auctioned item!"

The major powers on the first floor couldn't help but look at the small box where Shi Feng was on the second floor, and they were slightly astonished by Shi Feng's generosity.

However, what everyone didn't know was that Shi Feng's understanding of the Book of the Undying exceeded that of the holder himself, and he understood the value of the Book of the Undying very well.

If you really want to talk about the price, the specific value is only around 10,000 gold, which is comparable to an Epic ranked weapon, which is undoubtedly a sky-high price for a Dark-Gold ranked item.

The reason why it was only this price was because the Book of the Undying was only a Dark-Gold ranked item.

It's true that it can revive NPCs, but the definition of this revival is very vague, which is also the key information hidden by Tianji Pavilion, which is what level of NPCs can be revived.

After all, it's just a Dark-Gold ranked item. Although the skill is heaven-defying, the effect is limited. The maximum limit that can be revived is Tier 2 NPCs. Tier 3 NPCs cannot be revived at all, and this also includes players; otherwise, it would only be a Dark-Gold ranked item.

Because of this, Tianji Pavilion was willing to take it out. Otherwise, only a fool would take it out for auction.

Perhaps the major powers present had only just realized this, so the super forces were not very active in the bidding. If the Book of the Undying was an Epic ranked item, it would probably have been snapped up by the super forces now, and the price would have increased three or five times. It's not impossible.

However, even so, it was still a pleasant surprise for Shi Feng.

Although it couldn't revive Tier 3 or higher NPCs, it was enough for Shi Feng right now. At least he could let Anna and Kite take action with peace of mind in the future without worrying about their deaths.

Nine Dragon Emperor gave up directly on this, as the Book of the Undying was just a small collection for him, and it wouldn't be worth it to pay more.

"10,000 gold for the first time!"

"10,000 gold for the second time!"

Just as Yuan Tiexin was about to shout for the third time to determine the final ownership, a new price was announced at the venue.

"12,000 gold!"

Immediately, many people present looked at the bidder in surprise, and it was Lu Xingluo from the Starlight Conglomerate who announced this price.

"13,000 gold!" Shi Feng announced a new price again.

This surprised everyone present slightly. They didn't expect Shi Feng to be so desperate. This was 13,000 gold, which could buy a very good piece of land in a royal city or capital city.

"13,500 gold!"

"14,000 gold!"

"14,500 gold!"

However, as soon as Shi Feng said the new price, Lu Xingluo quickly surpassed Shi Feng with a price that exceeded 500 gold, as if he was deliberately raising the price too high.

By the time the price climbed to 20,000 gold, the major powers present were stunned.

It was crazy to spend 20,000 gold for just a Dark-Gold ranked item. With this money, you could build a small town.

"24,000 gold!" For the constant bidding, Shi Feng didn't want to waste any more time, so he increased the price by 4,000 gold.

This price made Yuan Tiexin's breathing a little heavy. This price had already exceeded his expectations by more than double.

"Forget it, I won't play with him. I don't want this item anymore." Lu Xingluo smiled faintly and stopped bidding.

As Lu Xingluo stopped bidding, the Book of the Undying ultimately belonged to Shi Feng under Yuan Tiexin's hammer, which surprised many people present at Zero Wing Guild's financial resources, and at the same time ridiculed Zero Wing Guild for spending 24,000 gold for a Dark-Gold ranked item.

In fact, not to mention the major powers, even Aqua Rose and Gentle Snow felt that it was not worth spending so many gold coins to buy the Book of the Undying, after all, it was just a Dark-Gold ranked item with limited skill effects.

However, after Shi Feng connected to the God's Domain main god system through the quantum computer watch and paid 24,000 gold, and Tianji Pavilion transferred the Book of the Undying to his account backpack, a sly smile appeared on the corner of Shi Feng's mouth.

It was true that the Book of the Undying was a Dark-Gold ranked item, but he also knew a secret that even Tianji Pavilion didn't know.

That is, there is more than one Book of the Undying, but thirteen, and each one is a Dark-Gold ranked item, written by the Undying, Danathius.

The Undying is an existence that even a Tier 6 god cannot kill, so they are called the Undying, and were eventually permanently sealed by the ancient gods. The Book of the Undying contains all the power of the Undying, and it is rumored that the Book of the Undying is also a means left by the Undying to revive themselves.

How could such a powerful Undying only create Dark-Gold ranked items?

The power of the Book of the Undying lies in the fusion of power. Every time a Book of the Undying is fused, the Book of the Undying will be upgraded. Only by fusing thirteen Books of the Undying can the true power of the Book of the Undying be displayed. As for the specific level of the Book of the Undying, even in the God's Domain ten years later, no one knows, but it is speculated to be a Legendary item.

Because in the God's Domain ten years later, only ten copies have been discovered in total, and at most one has only fused three copies to become an Epic item, with the ability to revive Tier 3 NPCs.

Now that the Book of the Undying has appeared, it's not bad to collect it in advance. If one day he can collect three copies, he can be promoted to an Epic item, which will be of great help.

Then Yuan Tiexin continued to introduce the other auction items, but they were far worse than the Book of the Undying, and they could also be paid for with credits.

However, it must be said that Tianji Pavilion sold a wide variety of items, even more than 20 pieces of Tier 50 Fine-Gold ranked equipment that increased Fire Resistance were sold, and more than 50 pieces of Tier 50 Mithril equipment that increased Fire Resistance. In the end, they were all bought by Shi Feng, spending a total of more than 7,300 gold. If Lu Xingluo hadn't raised the price from time to time, it would only have cost more than 4,000 gold to get it done.

Time passed quickly at the auction. It took more than a day until all the ordinary items were sold. After that, Tianji Pavilion's friendly match began to determine the number of trump card items that the major forces could buy, which allowed everyone to know the level of the new masters of the major super forces to some extent.

"Next, let's start the auction of our first trump card item today." Yuan Tiexin glanced at all the small boxes on the second floor and smiled, "I think this is something that many people present have already known about."

After Yuan Tiexin finished speaking, several pictures appeared on the high platform.

With the appearance of the pictures, it immediately caused a sensation among all the forces present, including the representatives of the large financial groups in the small boxes on the second floor, and their eyes were a little red.

Mu Lingsha, who was sitting next to Aqua Rose, also clenched her jade hands tightly, with a slightly excited expression, unable to calm down at all.
