Once he made up his mind, many things fell into place. Logo stayed for a few more hours, planning with the Dream Demon Suoerqi how to betray Ya Er Dun, before taking his leave amidst the latter's satisfied gaze.

Turning around, a mocking glint flashed deep in Logo's eyes; the grand show was about to begin.

A few days later, in order to lull Ya Er Dun into a false sense of security, Logo pretended to be under Suoerqi's control and staged a play with the latter, fabricating a new lie.

Stoic School.

A renowned alchemical school, long since vanished into the past, stirred Ya Er Dun's excitement, leaving him completely unaware that Suoerqi was already sharpening his knife.

Actually, you can't really blame Ya Er Dun for being careless.

A leaf can block out the view.

From beginning to end, Ya Er Dun believed that the opportunity Maidisenna had obtained belonged to the realm of alchemy, so when he learned the name of the Stoic School from Logo, he immediately believed it.

Because this perfectly matches his long-held suspicions!!

Ya Er Dun also took the opportunity to berate Maidisenna, believing he had completely disgraced the Stoic School tradition, and that he himself might have become a Grandmaster Alchemist... This made Suoerqi roll his eyes. "Do you think becoming a Grandmaster Alchemist is so easy? Are you kidding me?!"

As the saying goes, people only believe what they want to believe.

This is especially true for intelligent people.

As for the succubus Suoerqi, he was overconfident in his ability to enslave minds and didn't doubt Logo's words at all, but can Suoerqi be blamed for that?

Just as Gustavo was full of confidence in his Parasitic Spider Eggs, so was Suoerqi. He was a powerful being at the level of High-Rank Demigod, and it would have been absolutely impossible for him to have reached this level without confidence in his abilities.

If we had to find a reason for these two people, perhaps it would be arrogance. They thought they were in control of everything, but in reality, they quietly became fish in Logo's net.

Back at my accommodation.

Logo began to review everything.

First, there was his explanation to Suoerqi: Logo had set the opening time for the ruins of the Kordo School four months later.

According to their Maidisenna, there are no time restrictions on visiting the ruins of the God-Hunting Society; you can go anytime.

Logo did not plan to go to the ruins left by the God-Hunting Society in advance. He was not in a hurry. Logo had no shortage of resources or inheritance. He planned to wait until his third clone was born to keep an insurance policy before going to the ruins of the God-Hunting Society. This was to prevent any accidents. As long as there was a clone outside, Logo would be invincible.

"Everything is arranged. The key now is to create a fake ruin, one that is dilapidated yet retains the characteristics of both Keluoduo and Stoicism. But... where can we find a master forger?..."

Logo thought about it for a long time, but because he was unfamiliar with the place and the people, he couldn't find a good candidate. After all, counterfeiting not only requires excellent skills, but also a trustworthy person. Otherwise, if the person sells it to you, you'll have nowhere to complain.

Since there's still plenty of time, Logo will put this matter aside for now and focus on handling it after attending the Star Sea Auction.

Of course, during this time, Logo also concealed his identity within the Mercenary and Adventurer Alliance, posting some of his requirements in hopes of relying on this large organization to help him find suitable candidates.

The Mercenary and Adventurer Alliance has an extremely large membership, encompassing all sorts of people from Three Sects, and is spread across every tiny corner of the Astral Realm. As a result, they have numerous intelligence channels and are well-informed, making them one of the largest intelligence brokers in the Astral Realm.

And so, while Logo was frantically grinding through the Alchemist Association missions, the date for the Star Sea Auction arrived.

As one of the largest banks in the Cosmic Sea, Star Sea Bank's logistics warehouses can be said to be spread throughout the entire Astral Realm.

Furthermore, its largest shareholder is the Devils of Hell Clan, who, relying on the Miracle Creation [Gate of Myriad Worlds], can transport supplies to their destination in the shortest possible time.

The Devil Clan's logistics system is unparalleled in the Astral Realm.

For these reasons, the Star Sea Bank Auction is always a grand event, attracting powerful figures from the entire Prado Universe System. This allows Crassus and his companions, who are visiting the Astral Realm for the first time, to broaden their horizons and gain a great deal of knowledge.

"This is just a regular auction. If it were a higher-level auction, could it be that a real god would descend?" Crassus craned his neck, looking at the Epic and Demigod powerhouses passing by, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Logo smiled faintly upon hearing this and said, "Higher-level auctions are generally not held on Hexagon Island; the prosperous areas of the universe cluster are the stage for such grand events."

Generally speaking, active civilizations within a universe are below the low-level Astral Realm; on a scale of a cosmic cluster, they wouldn't even be considered significant.

Cosmic clusters are battlegrounds for intermediate-level Astral Realm civilizations or forces vying for power.

Above that are forces that can dominate a region in the universe, generally at the high-level Astral Realm level.

As for peak Astral Realm civilizations, their influence is no longer limited to a single universe, but has spread to vast territories of the Astral Realm.

Larger, relatively loosely organized groups like the Spellcaster Association and the Alchemist Association have extended their reach throughout the entire Astral Realm.

However, despite their power, these forces still have to bow their heads obediently when facing the true overlord of the Astral Realm, the super-civilization.

Super-civilizations are the true masters of the Astral Realm.

At the entrance of the auction, Logo and his group ran into Ya Er Dun. However, unlike his arrogant demeanor when they met at the dock last time, Ya Er Dun was now respectfully following behind a young Reno People, step by step, with a humble attitude.

The thirteenth prince ignored Logo and the others, presumably because Ya Er Dun hadn't mentioned it to him, and walked straight past them.

Ya Er Dun didn't cause any more trouble for Madison, and he didn't even glance at Logo, for fear that Madison would discover something was wrong.

Therefore, the Nightmare Suoerqi didn't follow Ya Er Dun today, lest his frequent appearances reveal his identity as a mind sorcerer to Madison and lead to much speculation.

At the level of Demigod, there are no fools anymore.

Most of the time, falling into a pit is due to personality reasons.

Or perhaps it was arrogance, or perhaps greed...

Different personalities have different weaknesses, and once an opponent exploits these weaknesses, the opponent will likely find themselves in an extremely unfavorable situation.

The current situation is...

Madison knew nothing about it and was on the first level.

Ya Er Dun was misled by Logo and Suoerqi into believing that the opportunity Madison had obtained was a remnant of the Stoic School, located on the second level.

Suoerqi, however, completely trusted Logo, believing that the opportunity was left behind by the Kordo School and was located on the third level.

Logo, on the other hand, was in control of the situation, situated on the fourth level, overlooking everyone.

He's a cunning and scheming man; he's never been afraid of anyone in his life.
