Ancestral Wealth Inheritance System
Chapter 541 - 541 The Transcender Descends

"Xiao Yi, what do you think is inside this original stone?"

"I have no idea. Even your 'Cataract' and Er Gouzi couldn't identify it, so it must be something unusual!"

That last original stone was also the one Fang Jueyu chose at the last moment!

When Fang Jueyu realized that the last original stone Robb had was a sixth-tier Cosmic Crystal, he was a bit surprised. Sixth-tier Cosmic Crystals are hard to come by, and within the limited time, he couldn't find a second one.

However, just as time was about to run out, he found this extraordinary original stone. It was only about the size of a fist, yet it emitted an extremely strange aura.

Even though he couldn't determine if there was a Cosmic Crystal inside, Fang Jueyu's Pupil Skill still sensed some energy flow, allowing him to make a judgment.

But as for this original stone, the purple-eyed phantom behind him only saw a cloud of black fog!

Because time was running out, Fang Jueyu had no choice but to bring up this special original stone.

Planning to win this match based on his own strength, Fang Jueyu only communicated with Er Gouzi through a soul contract after the stone selection ended. Yet even Er Gouzi couldn't determine what was inside.

To be honest, Fang Jueyu didn't have any certainty at that moment. It was very likely that this original stone was just a worthless piece of rock.

"Brother Fang was still careless!" In the lounge, Natu sighed. What seemed like a sure victory had turned unexpected when Robb managed a great comeback by acquiring a sixth-tier Cosmic Crystal.

"What a pity, such a pity. I thought I'd witness a miracle happen once more," Reyno shook his head regretfully. But regardless of how the events unfolded, Fang Jueyu was already the biggest winner of today's game, only a few details remained.

"Let's keep watching. If Brother Zhou's final stone also turns out to be a sixth-tier Cosmic Crystal, losing gracefully is also worthwhile."

"Right, right, maybe its color and quality might actually surpass it?"

Soon, everyone's attention returned once more to that original stone.

"Shhhh..." Layers of the outer shell were gradually ground away, yet nothing appeared.

"Could it be a worthless stone?"

"It seems likely to be the case."

"Ah, the Gambling God's undefeated record is going to be broken after all."

The gamblers felt as pained as if they had lost themselves.

Yet strangely, when they looked at Fang Jueyu's face to gauge his expression, he remained calm. Instead of disappointment, there was a look of curiosity and seriousness.

"There's something!" Just as much of the original stone was being polished off, a trace of black light suddenly emerged, accompanied by a rising black smoke.

"What is this? Could there really be a black Cosmic Crystal?"

"Impossible, I've never heard of black Cosmic Crystals, this isn't a Cosmic Crystal—it seems like a metal fragment."

"How can there be a metal fragment? How strange."

A truly astonishing scene unfolded. The moment that black piece touched the air, the surrounding Cosmic Source Power was drawn toward the black metal in the stone as if devoured by a black hole.

Then, an ancient and desolate aura began to spread throughout this area.

"Crack!" As if becoming incredibly heavy at that moment, the original stone forcibly crushed the machine used to dissociate it, creating a small pit on the ground.

"What is this?" Countless pieces of equipment aimed at the original stone.

As more and more Cosmic Source Power poured in, the surface of the black fragment cracked, as if rust was flaking off, revealing a silver-white metallic gleam.

"This...this is..."

"It can't be wrong, it's that thing!"

"We must obtain it! Whatever it takes, it must be ours!"

In every corner of the Cosmic Empire, some ancient and mysterious beings stepped into the void the moment they saw the white metal, using means beyond normal comprehension to head for this planet Ganna.

"Host, it's a Divine Weapon Fragment! It seems to be a Divine Weapon Fragment!"

"Divine Weapon Fragment? What is that?" Fang Jueyu looked puzzled. "Is it valuable?"

"Pfft, this thing is beyond monetary value. Remember when I mentioned that the origin of this universe might stem from a cataclysmic battle?"

"You're suggesting this metal is a fragment from the weapons used in that battle?" Fang Jueyu recalled that Xiao Yi had mentioned that within these original stones, the intelligent beings of cosmic civilizations had also discovered some special entities, ones that predated the universe itself. The materials were incredibly unique and highly valuable.

"Wow, isn't that a goldmine?" Fang Jueyu had no concept of the item's significance, only caring about its monetary value and if it could outshine Robb's sixth-tier Cosmic Crystal.

"Compared to this Divine Weapon Fragment, a Cosmic Crystal is nothing but dirt!" Xiao Yi shouted. "Even Transcenders would go mad upon seeing this, and if I'm not mistaken, countless Transcenders are on their way here!"

Just as the words left Xiao Yi's mouth, a black fissure suddenly appeared beside Fang Jueyu, and a middle-aged man, dressed in a blue robe and exuding a formidable aura, stepped out.

At that moment, it was as if a deity descended, causing even those peak Controllers to feel suffocated by the pressure. This was a Transcender, an existence that would be formidable among Transcenders!

Yet aside from Fang Jueyu, everyone else could only see a blurry shadow, as if they weren't even qualified to see this entity with their naked eyes!

That piece of original stone floated up from the ground and landed in the Transcender's hand. With a flash of light, the impurities on the stone's surface peeled away, revealing a silver fragment resembling a spearhead.

"Indeed, it's a fragment of a Divine Weapon!" The Transcender's face beamed with joy.

"Did you find this?" The Transcender approached Fang Jueyu.

Fang Jueyu nodded.

"What do you want in exchange for this?" The Transcender said nonchalantly. "Even this fourth-tier civilization, I can hand it over to you, making you the ruler of this Morlar civilization!"

"Whoa, that's quite a boast! Who are you, old dude?" Fang Jueyu thought mockingly to himself. Is it that easy to become the ruler of a fourth-tier civilization?

"Host, he seems to be the ruler of this Shadow Realm cosmic nation."

"Such a big deal?" Fang Jueyu was taken aback. A cosmic nation comprises hundreds and thousands of civilizations above the fourth tier, including some top-tier civilizations. Such an influential figure was drawn here by a piece of junk metal?

"Host, you should give it to him. You can't protect it with your current strength. Even if you called for family support, they wouldn't arrive quickly. You might as well exchange it for some benefits."

"Alright," Fang Jueyu pondered. Feeling the need for a strong bodyguard, he said, "Heh heh heh..."

"Old man, if you be my bodyguard for ten years, I'll give you this thing. How about it?"

"A bodyguard for ten years? Ha ha ha!" The Transcender actually laughed. Someone dared to ask him, a ruler of a cosmic nation, to be their bodyguard?

"Choose something else."

"I don't need money," Fang Jueyu shrugged.

"I see. You must be worried you'll face trouble and not be able to protect yourself?" The middle-aged man touched Fang Jueyu's forehead with his finger gently.

"This thing will save your life three times. We're even now." The Transcender pocketed the original stone and disappeared back into the void.

"Hey? What kind of trick is this?" Fang Jueyu snapped out of it, but the middle-aged man was already gone.

Then, shortly after, three more space fissures opened in the void, and three more unfathomable beings emerged.

"The Divine Weapon's aura has disappeared?"

"Did someone beat us to it?"

"This aura...is it Helian?"

...
