...
Lin Suo didn’t know why he wasn’t killed by the two ferocious Demons and sohow got mixed up in all this.
When he safely returned from this mining expedition, he even ended up with 0.3 grams of Settled Glaze.
He was very puzzled.
Every day, the Gelos Demon, Big Fatty, would chatter beside the ears of the Water God Avatar, taking him to wander among various fleets, familiar with all of this.
anwhile.
The focus shifts to Thunder God Rhein.
His real body was by the side of the Boiling Oil Sea, creating Pollution Devourers and engaging in resource mining.
The information was provided by the Water God Avatar.
The Thunder God Avatar initially took on an exploration mission and, using a map, played a trick on the Storm’s Second Elder. Ti passed, and now it had successfully reached the 1032nd floor of the Abyss.
Lin Suo was very interested in the Worlds Exchange ntioned by the Heart-eating Gentleman.
Generally, thods to cross worlds were incredibly rare, with only a handful of individuals capable of traveling to other worlds.
Only the Abyss Demons were exceptional, as they could use the Abyss Gate to travel to any world and initiate extermination wars. Ordinary beings simply could not cross the barriers between worlds.
This was a hard requirent that could not be forcibly eradicated by strength. Only inherently special beings could do so, and Lin Suo had once doubted whether he possessed such a Talent.
After all, he was "transported" and ca to the Wizard World.
Moreover, he had not yet seen any other beings with such a Talent. The Talent to Synthesize Everything was definitely an innate potential he himself possessed, with absolute certainty!
The Mysterious Rubik’s Cube only provided a panel and awakened this Talent for him. There was no doubt about that.
Beings from different worlds were not supposed to et.
But in the Abyss.
The Land of Ruins at the end of the Worlds, the Land of Apocalypse, just happened to provide such a platform.
It could invade any world, and the strong from any world could co to the Abyss to exchange on this platform.
A very curious thing.
The Gliando Demon Family had been cultivating the Endless Abyss for who knows how many years.
Hence, when the Heart-eating Gentleman said he knew of a Worlds Exchange, Lin Suo did not doubt and believed him decisively.
He was ready to try his luck.
The current point in ti marked Lin Suo’s second full year in the Abyss.
Such places could be predicted to be nurous, and he wondered whether they were large in scale and whether there was any interesting knowledge to share or trade.
The 1032nd floor of the Abyss.
A place known as Thunder Ruins.
The location was shrouded in year-round gloom, with flashing lightning and booming thunder. The general topography and cultural landscape had a few records on the map, prompting Lin Suo to send the Thunder God Avatar, most attuned to electricity, over.
Should conflict arise, the locale provided an advantage.
The Thunder God Avatar looked most like a human, bearing no semblance to a Demon’s appearance, and so underwent ticulous disguise.
The so-called Worlds Exchange was not straightforwardly nad as such.
Instead, it was the largest Slave market within the Thunder Ruins.
The Abyss Dragon Trading Market.
The underground auction site.
Following the map and pursuing leads, Lin Suo made contact with a Shape-shifting Monster from the Wizard World.
This guy, nad Alex, was the only Legendary Level Shape-shifting Monster Lin Suo had ever t, an inherently Rare species.
Lin Suo thought that after Padolon’s destruction, he would never see such a Demon Monster again. Who knew there was still one in the Abyss.
Moreover, Alex was on good terms with the Gliando Family. He was surprised when he t Lin Suo but didn’t ask much, taking him directly to the underground auction event.
Bidding was out of the question, as auctions were a daily occurrence.
The main draw was a salon-like tea eting, an exceptional opportunity to expand one’s knowledge.
A variety of creatures, different Power systems, different languages, cultures, and customs.
All presented Lin Suo with novel experiences.
And Lin Suo found that humans seed to be a species that exists in every world, with considerable strength, occupying a dominant position. Of course, this might also be a "survivorship bias."
Those with weak strength simply couldn’t co to the Abyss.
The owner of the Abyss Dragon Trading Market was also the ruler of the Thunder Ruins, overtly a Flash Thunder Demon but secretly a Holy Spirit Level strongman from a world called Strange World.
The Holy Spirit was a term used by Wizards, who had other nas for different Ranks for ease of understanding. Lin Suo categorized him as one of the top strongn within the Holy Spirit Level.
Known as the Black Emperor, he was also a top strongman, ruling over a territory in his own world.
It was said that not even the Demon Gods of the 1032nd floor of the Abyss could outmatch the Black Emperor, and that the entire Worlds Exchange was established under his leadership.
This information was no secret, and most regulars knew it. Lin Suo mingled amongst them and obtained a lot of useful information.
Several days later.
He beca familiar with the place and learned a new Universal Language said to be the language of all worlds, but in reality, it was a form of ntal language.
Before learning this language, Lin Suo could confirm their intended ssage through ntal waves. This universal language simply translated his ntal waves into a ssage understandable by any being.
It was straightforward and could almost be considered a language-proficient type of witchcraft.
And it worked on beasts, too.
After several days, Lin Suo beca acquainted with several strongn from other worlds, mostly of Legendary status, leading groups of juniors to train and broaden their horizons in the Abyss.
Lin Suo proactively made friends, mainly interested in the Power systems they possessed. One of them, an elder dressed in a golden silk robe, mastered a qi-based Power system called Qi Power.
It resembled Inner Strength, and the practice of the thods endowed one with a super robust physique and energy moves, perfectly suitable for integration into the Knight Breathing thod.
Another was a strongman from a Superpower system.
According to him, his Superpower was Lv.5, equivalent to a Legendary Strongman, and possessed stable thods to awaken Superpowers. Lin Suo was tempted to the point of almost taking a blood sample.
The Wizard abilities Lin Suo displayed also garnered their favor, and today they gathered to exchange knowledge of their Power systems.
The auction house’s box was a semi-enclosed area. The three assembled, all humans, and therefore had a basis for trust.
No need to worry about being hard in such a place.
Downstairs in the hall, while an auction of goods is taking place, the three people upstairs are discussing their own affairs.
"Mr. Synthesis, Mr. Carter, I wonder if you’ve made up your minds? What level of system knowledge are you willing to offer? I have knowledge of the sa rank to present in return for a fair exchange."
Mr. Synthesis is an old man with short whiskers, sporting the typical face of an Eastern person, while Mr. Carter is a Caucasian middle-aged man.
The two exchanged glances and each took out different things.
Mr. Synthesis spoke first.
"Mr. Rhein, this is the Qi Power Training thod that you wanted, from a very famous force in our world, called the ’Three Suns Training thod.’ Its limit can reach the level you ntioned, Legendary Level."
The material was good, Lin Suo looked through a few pages and, after confirming its authenticity, was very satisfied. This training thod was innately compatible with Breathing Skills and suited him well.
What Mr. Carter brought out was completely different, as his cultivation system was based on superpowers, which Lin Suo completely misunderstood, treating it purely as a genetic mutation.
"Mr. Rhein, this is an Awakening Injection, Superpower Blood, along with the related awakening record data. You can study it yourself. Superpower users don’t have a fixed way of cultivation; it’s usually self-directed training."
"But there are three common thods, representing physique, energy, and spirit. The basic versions are all here."
"Very good."
After verifying there were no issues, Lin Suo wouldn’t consider injecting himself; his abilities were sufficient and comprehensive, with nothing needing supplentation.
Moreover, due to the different human genetic structures in different worlds, carelessly exchanging could be lethal. Acquiring knowledge from different worlds was rely to broaden his perspectives.
To add bricks and mortar to his Wizard Path.
Therefore, the targets he looked for were those that significantly complented the Wizard Path, and he didn’t actively seek to exchange for many completely unrelated power systems.
A brief understanding would suffice.
The items the others brought out pretty much t Lin Suo’s requirents, so he too presented two items.
One was the Starry Sky ditation thod, which could break through the Legendary Wizard level and was the most widely known ditation thod in the Starry Sky, with no pronounced strengths but also no weaknesses.
It t their requirents.
The second was his own developed Electromagnetic Witchcraft, the Legendary level of which he had already achieved. Since he had created the entire series himself, he had full authority over it and it was very suitable for trade.
One set for each person.
"Pleasure doing business with you two."
"Pleasure doing business."
Without any tricks, it was just a transaction, very smooth. But at that mont.
The crystal lamp in the private room suddenly flickered.
A figure wrapped in a black and gold outfit, wearing a pitch-black mask that concealed his face, appeared abruptly in the view of the three, without any detectable aura.
"Gentlen, avoiding purchases at the auction and engaging in private deals is indeed peculiar—quite a hobby."
"Who are you?"
Lin Suo was slightly puzzled but saw Mr. Synthesis give him a look and bowed respectfully.
The Black Emperor?!
The reaction of the two, and the venue itself, suggested the identity of the person who could appear here.
He wasn’t too afraid, though; it was just one of his avatars. Once the trade was accomplished, the details had already been logged into the Eye of Truth, and his main body could review it at any ti, so he wasn’t worried.
It was just a sha about the Awakening Injection and Extraordinary Blood he got from Mr. Carter...
"No need to worry, this is my territory, I’m not going to harm you juniors just yet. Young man, your na is Rhein, right? Would you be interested in a private chat with ?"
"Okay."
Lin Suo agreed decisively. The other two silently exited, not uttering a word throughout the process, showing the Black Emperor’s high credibility among these people.
A silence fell over the room for a mont.
The Black Emperor removed his mask, revealing an extrely handso and youthful face, looking at him with interest.
"Nice clone ability, and you seem to have great potential. I’ve been searching for soone like you—would you be interested in joining the Absurd Travel Group?"
Lin Suo raised an eyebrow.
"Why?"
"Because you are a Shuttler, and moreover, your Talent has been awakened, eting the criteria for new mbers of the Absurd Travel Group. This is an opportunity, not available to everyone~"
Lin Suo’s pupils shrank; things that he himself wasn’t sure of seed to be confird by the Black Emperor.
He had also investigated about those with Talent and had never encountered any; he always thought he was the only one.
Now it appeared that those qualified to traverse worlds would possess extraordinary Talents, such as the ability to [Synthesize Everything].
"Why should I trust you? And what exactly is this Absurd Travel Group?"
"Umm... not exactly a force to be reckoned with, just more of a loose organization for individuals of the sa kind to band together..."
The Black Emperor walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows with his hands behind his back, speaking to Lin Suo from the side.
"The mbers of the Absurd Travel Group are few, without many requirents or benefits. However, the one benefit worthy of ntion is that every five years, there will be a trade eting."
"One can reach the eting venue regardless of their location."
The Black Emperor took out a number seven ring and showed it to Lin Suo.
"At the internal trade etings, sotis extrely rare resources will appear, which you probably don’t need at the mont, but it might be useful in the future. mbers of the Absurd Travel Group will offer help to each other as much as they can."
"Of course, there’s a price for everything; in any case, it’s a mutual benefit."
Lin Suo was silent.
He didn’t believe in pie-in-the-sky fortunes, but the Black Emperor was much stronger than him and had no reason to lie...
It’s just that the situation had arisen so unexpectedly; he hadn’t had ti to grasp it yet.
"The number seven represents that I would be the seventh mber? What about you? And what’s the strength of the other mbers like?"
It seed like the Black Emperor anticipated Lin Suo’s question.
The Black Emperor threw the ring directly to Lin Suo.
"I am the sixth mber. As for the strength... Immortal to start with~"
Lin Suo got goosebumps. Just as he wanted to speak again, the Black Emperor had already vanished, leaving only an echoing voice.
"The next gathering is in two years. You might want to prepare yourself, you could swap for so good stuff..."
