The Richest Person in the Primordial Universe (Seeking Reads)

Seeing Zhang Dong swear the oath, Qu Yu said with satisfaction, "Kid, if you come across any other weapons with novel designs, you can come find me."

Zhang Dong thought to himself, Then wait until I get my hands on some high-end Mechanical Race weapons.

Weapons like planet-destroying cannons and laser guns didn't differ much in design—just energy storage issues. Even if he brought a planet-destroying cannon to show Qu Yu, the other party wouldn't pay such a high price again.

But many of the Mechanical Race's modular weapons, or even black hole weapons, while lacking in raw power, did have unique design principles and weren't too picky about the user's strength.

What Qu Yu valued was precisely that anyone could use them.

Pure energy accumulation was easy to solve, and maybe he could even add some profundities into the mix.

"Let's not rush the weapons. If I find any, I'll come to you." Zhang Dong inquired, "Do you have any special lifeform corpses in your shop? Any type is fine. As for rank, preferably Deities, or even Gods would do."

Those Special Lifeforms born as True Gods were out of the question—there was absolutely no way to make a clone out of them.

His current Bitter Snow Vine was merely a Realm Lord.

Those born at the God level or Deity level, though, were worth a try.

The Source World had different rules. Over on the Boundary Heart Continent, lower ranks didn't emphasize gene multiples, so Zhang Dong measured things by strength to determine if transplantation was feasible.

"Pick for yourself. Dead or alive, both available. Prices are marked, no haggling." Qu Yu replied indifferently.

Though the shop appeared small, it concealed profound spatial mysteries. Within layers upon layers of folded space, all kinds of goods were arranged in categories.

As Zhang Dong's needs shifted, the shelves that had displayed Deity and True God artifacts rippled like water, transforming to reveal a large number of lifeform remains, along with some imprisoned living creatures.

Humanoid, beast, plant, metal, rock-type lifeforms... a vast variety, like a miniature graveyard of ten thousand races.

When Yuan created the Boundary Heart Continent, he named it that because he intended it to be the center of many Source Worlds.

Countless world clusters sent many cultivators reincarnating here, so lifeforms of all shapes and forms were abundant. What this shop housed was merely a drop in the ocean.

"Try using a plant lifeform." Zhang Dong thought briefly. After crossing Source Worlds, his innate secret technique might not succeed one hundred percent. Finding another plant lifeform for a clone should greatly increase the success rate.

Among the imprisoned living creatures, there were even True God Sovereigns at that level.

Just one glance through the spatial prison made Zhang Dong's heart skip a beat. Without the protection of the formation, with his mere Fourth Heaven Realm Deity cultivation, one more look and he'd explode.

After browsing for a while, he finally chose a tree and a flower.

The tree was called the Sun Tree. Born at the God level, it could naturally grow to the True Deity Heaven and Earth Realm, but breaking through to the Creation Realm afterward was extremely difficult.

A God-level Sun Tree on the Boundary Heart Continent stood thirteen zhang tall, each leaf like a sun, its trunk a faint red. Zhang Dong only needed it for a clone transplant, so buying a God-level one was enough.

The flower was called Falling Star. Born at the Demigod level, it could grow to the Fourth Heaven Realm Deity at its peak.

On the Boundary Heart Continent, that wasn't ordinary either. Most residents here could become Deities, but the Fourth Heaven was a major hurdle.

Almost all living beings naturally peaked at the Second or Third Heaven Realm Deity.

Those who could cultivate to the Fourth Heaven had hope of becoming True Gods. After all, the Boundary Heart Continent had more than nine types of First-Class Divine Hearts, and with natural combinations possible, grasping the laws of heaven and earth was much easier.

Two God-level plant lifeform corpses were very cheap. Qu Yu just glanced at them and said he'd give them to Zhang Dong for free.

"I thought you'd pick Deity or True God-level plants. Getting God-level ones, and corpses at that—I don't know what use they are." Qu Yu muttered, "That venom of yours, sell me more in the future."

Zhang Dong nodded repeatedly, storing the Sun Tree and Falling Star into his world ring.

If they were Deity or True God-level Sun Trees, his world ring wouldn't be able to withstand them—it would shatter.

As for the Cosmic Crystal in his pocket, Zhang Dong hadn't decided how to use it yet. Opportunities to gain such massive wealth were rare, and he had to make the most of it to maximize returns.

It was fortunate he was in the Xiafeng Capital; otherwise, he wouldn't dare flaunt such a fortune out in the open.

Leaving Qu Yu's shop, Zhang Dong found a secluded corner, sank his consciousness deep into his soul, and with a shwoosh, returned to the Primordial Realm.

The rules changed, and he was once again a super powerhouse, no longer an ant that couldn't even fly—and the richest person in the entire Primordial Universe at that.

Woom!!!

But the moment he returned to the Primordial Realm, a supreme authority descended.

He seemed to have touched upon the Supreme Rules, but just as that faint ripple swept over him, the Jade Green Bubble suddenly rippled.

Then, the Supreme Rules fell completely silent.

"Was that the Supreme Rules warning me?" Zhang Dong's heart jolted. He wasn't sure if it was because of the Sun Tree and Falling Star, or a warning about the Cosmic Crystal.

Logically, the Supreme Rules wouldn't warn about corpses. This didn't involve information beyond True Gods either. And regarding foreign species, Flame Wind Ancestor and Thunder Ancestor had been researching hybrid lifeforms from the Chaos in their own homes without any issues.

It was most likely because of the Cosmic Crystal, as it was indeed a product above the True God level.

Crack!

While Zhang Dong was still thinking, an unusual sound came from his world ring. He quickly took it out to check the interior.

The Sun Tree, originally thirteen zhang tall, had now expanded to a hundred thousand kilometers, occupying a small part of the world ring's space.

Falling Star was smaller, but still over sixty thousand kilometers in diameter—far larger than a life planet like Earth.

However, these two plant lifeform remains were beginning to collapse.

Arriving in the Primordial Universe, with different laws and no protection from the Jade Green Bubble, many parts that relied on the underlying rules of their origin began to disintegrate.

Fortunately, the Source World was a relatively gentle world, unlike when a God King went to the Holy Realm and their entire body collapsed.

Moreover, at the lower levels of life, the Dao content composing their divine bodies wasn't that much.

Once one reaches the Chaos Realm or the level of a Universe God, most of their divine body exists because of the [Dao], so upon entering the Holy Realm, it begins to collapse violently.

The leaves, which had been as dazzling as stars, instantly turned ashen white before dissolving into nothingness.

"Hm?!" Zhang Dong silently cursed his own foolishness—relying on the protection of the Jade Green Bubble, he had overlooked the issue of the underlying rules.

After all, the Xiafeng Capital wasn't that private; he had only returned to the Primordial Universe to prepare for transplantation, afraid of being noticed by powerful beings.

But before long, this collapse came to a halt, and the deterioration did not worsen.

The main structure of the Sun Tree still remained, and the same was true for Falling Red—both retained their core frameworks, but the leaves, branches, and petals had all shattered and vanished completely.
