Purchasing a Godhead

On the journey from Soth Valley, the metal lifeform did not encounter many bandits or robbers.

During this period, they occasionally ran into a few waves of short-sighted bandits, all of whom were driven off by the two Highgod subordinates under the tribe leader's command.

Those two Highgods were too lazy to lower themselves to deal with such bandits, merely showing their faces to intimidate them.

On the morning of the twentieth day after leaving Soth Tribe, almost everyone inside the metal lifeform felt a jolt of excitement. Through the transparent metal, they saw a massive, spectacular city built from emerald-green ore.

The emerald-green city radiated an air of luxury and antiquity.

House City! One of the ten great cities within a billion miles of Liang'an Prefecture!

"So this is a city in Hell?" Luo Ya and his two companions looked at the large city with a sense of novelty.

The entire city covered an area of about a thousand miles. Having weathered the winds and rains of countless years, a vast and ancient aura washed over them.

"Finally here!" Luo Ya felt a sense of anticipation in his heart.

Soon, a large number of people from the metal lifeform flew out one after another.

"Luo Ya, we shall part ways here." Before leaving, the two Highgod leaders specifically came over to bid them farewell. They already knew from the steward Kele that the three of them would separate from the group upon reaching the city to challenge their own Fiend careers.

The residents of Hell held great respect for those who dared to challenge the path of becoming a Fiend.

"Goodbye." Luo Ya nodded in response, then took Milia and Morti with him, flying toward the gates of House City first.

Seeing a large city in Hell for the first time, all three felt very fresh. As they followed the flow of people toward the gates, they gazed at the majestic, emerald-green ancient city.

"Those three who entered without paying the fee must be Fiends, right?" At this moment, Milia noticed three figures in gold robes walking directly into House City, and the garrison soldiers at the gate did not stop them at all.

"Most Fiends have decent strength, so it is only right that they have some privileges." Luo Ya felt this was normal; as long as one was powerful, they could enjoy privileges wherever they went.

In Bifu Continent, the Bifu Army, the garrison soldiers, and the Fiends all had strict screening systems for their professions. Anyone who could pass the screening was considered an "elite" of Hell, so they naturally did not need to pay an entry fee to enter the city.

Soon, it was the turn of Luo Ya and his companions.

After each paying one Moshi, they entered House City.

Inside House City.

Stepping into House City, Luo Ya and Milia walked in front, with Morti following behind. The three walked along the spacious streets, looking at the large buildings around them. An ancient, magnificent aura rushed toward them. Every building was so well-constructed that it could be called a "sculpture."

Following the flow of people, Luo Ya and his companions witnessed the various prosperous scenes within this Hell city.

Soon, they followed the crowd to the most bustling and noisy part of House City.

"Fiend Castle!" Luo Ya's gaze locked onto the castle directly ahead.

Milia also cast her gaze toward that eerie castle structure.

It was an ancient purple castle a hundred meters tall, though the purple had darkened to the point of being black! There was a giant carving on the castle—a face! The features were blurry, but the bewitching red single eye on the face was extremely striking.

For some reason, that bewitching red eye on the blurry face of the giant carving made one feel a sense of trepidation, even though it was just a carving.

"Fiend Castle, it certainly looks extraordinary." The architecture of the Fiend Castle left a deep impression on Luo Ya.

However, they were not in a hurry to go inside at the moment; instead, they walked toward a green castle in the distance to the right.

This ancient castle, built entirely from emerald-green ore, had a green lotus leaf on its roof. They were very familiar with this green lotus leaf mark; it was the emblem of the Bifu Army.

"I heard that everything is for sale inside Bifu Castle. Let's go in and take a look." Luo Ya led Milia and Morti toward Bifu Castle.

During the previous battle, he had killed more than ten bandits, and in particular, a Highgod bandit had also died by his hand. The wealth of a Highgod was quite considerable, so they naturally had the capital to shop in Bifu Castle.

Inside Bifu Castle, it was packed with people.

The main entrance of the entire castle was a hundred meters wide, with bustling crowds pouring in. One could easily imagine how good the business at Bifu Castle was.

The first floor of Bifu Castle.

After entering, Luo Ya and his companions discovered that the first-floor hall was one or two thousand meters long and wide. One or two thousand meters—that was an exaggerated figure. Even if ten thousand people poured in, it wouldn't feel crowded at all.

"There are really quite a lot of gods buying things here." It was Milia's first time seeing so many gods; the endless stream of people was overwhelming.

"In this Bifu Castle, the higher the floor, the better the items sold. Let's go straight to the third floor." The three of them walked up the stairs to the third-floor hall.

The third-floor hall of Bifu Castle was significantly smaller in space, yet it was still hundreds of meters long and wide. However, there were clearly far fewer people in the hall.

Throughout the hall, there were counters displaying a large number of goods, as well as some special independent rooms. Groups of various gods walked in front of the counters, carefully examining the items.

"Offensive Artifacts, defensive Artifacts, medicines, materials, cultivation aids, Godheads..." Clearly, the numerous counters along the third-floor hall handled a very complete range of business.

There was nothing you couldn't buy, only things you couldn't imagine.

"Highgod Godheads?" Soon, Luo Ya found the counter he was looking for. There were more than ten people in charge of this counter, and it was the place specifically responsible for selling Godheads to the public.

"Luo Ya?" Milia looked over with surprise. Didn't Luo Ya already know the downsides of refining Godheads? Why buy them?

"Don't worry, I have my own use for them." Luo Ya explained casually via soul transmission, and Milia did not ask any further.

"Give me one Highgod Godhead each for the Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire elements." After approaching the counter, Luo Ya discovered that all the Godheads were clearly priced.

Moreover, Godheads were different from Artifacts; even a Godhead left behind by a powerful person after death was no different from an ordinary Highgod Godhead.

What truly caused the price difference in Godheads was the rarity of each type.

Godheads of the seven elemental laws were clearly more common than those of the four major rules, so their prices were lower.

Among the seven elemental laws, the Light, Darkness, and Lightning elements were more scarce. By comparison, the Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire Godheads were the cheapest of all.

"These four Highgod Godheads will be twenty million Moshi, thank you." The rabbit-kin clerk responsible for receiving Luo Ya and his group was very enthusiastic, showing no sign of coldness despite Luo Ya being a Midgod.

"Here are twenty thousand Zhan Stones." Luo Ya took two hundred Zhan Stone slabs directly from his spatial ring.

Each Zhan Stone slab was ten centimeters long and wide, with a thickness of one centimeter, equivalent to one hundred units of Zhan Stone.

Two hundred such slabs amounted to twenty thousand Zhan Stones, which was equal to twenty million Moshi.

"Thank you for your patronage, here are the Godheads you purchased." The rabbit-kin clerk provided excellent service, smiling as she brought out four exquisite metal boxes containing black crystals that emitted cyan-green, fiery red, earthy yellow, and pale cyan light, respectively.

Among these Highgod Godheads, the most expensive were those of the Laws of Fate, with a single one selling for as much as thirteen million, followed by the Life and Death systems, which were also worth around ten million Moshi each. The Laws of Destruction, however, were only worth about eight million Moshi because there were so many gods in Hell who cultivated the Laws of Destruction.

As for the Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind systems, they had the lowest selling prices, hovering around five million Moshi each.

"Combining these four elemental Highgod Godheads should bring about some new changes..." Luo Ya felt quite good as he put away the four Godheads, not in any hurry to begin his experiment.
