Starry Sky Auction House

Biodata

Background / History

Jiang Li established the Starry Sky Auction House in an open area of Shrek City, intending for its location in a major population center to draw the attention of the continent’s powerful factions. The building appeared through the system after Jiang Li selected the site. 3

Its first auction was organized to establish its prestige. Invitations were delivered to Shrek Academy, the Star Luo Empire, Mingde Hall, and other major powers; Lei Yao’s displays of Ultimate Lightning power made the organization’s strength immediately apparent. 4 8

The auction house rapidly became a recurring gathering point for human Soul Master factions and the Soul Beast Clan. Its unprecedented merchandise, protected venue, and unknown origins led many attendees to believe it possessed God-tier backing or connections beyond the Douluo Continent. 79 101 284

After initially focusing on periodic auctions, Jiang Li expanded its operations by creating the Starry Sky Treasure Vault within the Boundless Mustard Seed Space. The vault allowed visitors to obtain treasures directly with Gold Soul Coins. 128 132

At the conclusion of its final auction, Jiang Li announced the auction house’s indefinite closure and bestowed an unspecified opportunity on every attendee. 439

Starry Sky Treasure Vault

The Starry Sky Treasure Vault was created using the Boundless Mustard Seed Space, an infinite independent space separate from the Douluo Continent. 128

• Jiang Li sorted lottery-derived items into tiers based on rarity and value. 129
• Visitors could enter its small world and take desired treasures after paying the corresponding amount in Gold Soul Coins. 132
• Its opening drew Soul Masters and major factions from across the continent. 132

Operations and Rules

• Auctions were initially held monthly, with the next event announced after each completed sale. 22 53
• The stated core rule was highest bidder wins, with no forced buying or selling. Violators were warned that they would bear the consequences. 109
• Valuable goods could be converted into Gold Soul Coins through the auction house’s equivalent-exchange service. 22
• Converted funds were stored on specialized Auction Cards and could only be used in auctions; they could not be withdrawn. 22
• The house did not exclusively favor humans or Soul Beasts, selling items useful to both sides while maintaining a neutral posture. 212
• Certain auctions imposed special restrictions. The God-tier Summoning Card, for example, could only summon human God-tier experts connected to the Douluo Continent’s past or future. 392
• The Gate of Time and Space Descent used an open-value bidding system, accepting offers such as wealth, resources, promises, souls, and fortune rather than a fixed starting price. 434

Notable Merchandise and Services

Influence

The auction house’s goods repeatedly altered the balance of power on the Douluo Continent by granting access to Martial Souls, Soul Rings, Soul Spirits, cultivation resources, divine inheritances, and other extraordinary assets. 60 156 233

Its Soul Spirit system offered an alternative to traditional Soul Ring acquisition, creating both hope for Soul Masters and concern among Soul Beasts over the source and consequences of mass distribution. 156 161

The house also gained a reputation for helping human forces resist Soul Beasts through its resources, though its neutrality and deeper motives remained uncertain to both sides. 212 307

• It reportedly never auctioned the same item twice during its early operations. 77 102
