Today's first update: Chapter 2196! 1/3!
The bidder was not another royal race, but the S-Tier Race, the Eight-Armed Clan. Unlike the previous races, whose bids had been made openly, the Eight-Armed Clan's bid was confidential, and only Blood Luo had received it.
After personally evaluating it, Blood Luo said, "Wait a moment. I need to report this to the Council of Elders."
Well, this...
This proved that, from Blood Luo's personal perspective alone, the Eight-Armed Clan's confidential bid was worth more than Little Turtle's undeveloped demigod ruin containing an inheritance.

Tian was rendered speechless and stammered without managing to say anything.
That naturally made him a laughingstock.
As the saying went: once hierarchy was established, rank and status
