Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

#392 - Chapter 391 The Finale

To be precise, the competition between the four major consortiums had reached a feverish pitch. The Li and Ying consortiums of the Northern Federation didn't seem to have a strong desire to compete.

Especially the Ying Consortium, which only raised the price twice before falling silent and quietly retreating to the rear.

After the 'Divine Name' was raised to sixteen, the Ito Consortium and the Takahashi Consortium of the Southern Federation joined forces and acquired the 'Writing Brush' for twenty 'Divine Names'.

Although the Zhou Consortium was unwilling and wanted to unite with one of its own consortiums, the Li and Ying consortiums didn't have the intention to do so.

The second item for auction was the 'Seal God Scroll'. The competition for this item wasn't as intense as the 'Finishing Touch'. When the Zhou Consortium raised the price to fifteen 'Divine Names', no one competed with them.

"Congratulations to Box Number One for successfully bidding for this magical A4 paper," Yanluo Wang congratulated from the stage.

A voice came from the Zhou Consortium's box: "Yanluo Wang, what is the next item for auction?"

"Since the guest in Box Number One is so impatient, I won't waste time with pleasantries. The next item for auction is also the final item of this auction—Li Chenqiu."

As soon as these words were spoken, most people's faces showed expressions of confusion. Although Li Chenqiu was famous, some influential people had heard his name, but only heard of him, and didn't understand him.

"Li Chenqiu, isn't that the triple-forbidden destined one from City 11?"

"Why is he here?"

"A finale item, valued so much by the Underworld, this kid is not ordinary!"

Hearing this name, Duan Xian, who was in Box Number Nine, felt a slight chill in his heart.

"He was beheaded, but he is still alive, and he also told the Underworld about the key. He must be a Resurrector."

Thinking of this, Duan Xian frowned slightly and secretly glanced at Wenren Qing, his mouth slightly open, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't seem to make a sound.

Back on the stage, Yanluo Wang seemed to see the doubts in everyone's hearts and explained with a smile: "I know everyone is very confused as to why an unremarkable destined one would become the finale item.

It's okay, I'll explain. This destined one is not special in himself. If it were two months ago, he would definitely not be qualified to be the finale item of this auction.

But today, two months later, it's different, because he has dug up a very, very, very shocking piece of news, which is also the truth that the three major consortiums of the Southern Federation have been hiding—a truth concerning the survival of the Tianyuan Federation!"

"What!"

The people who were originally just curious showed shocked expressions when they heard this.

"Concerning the survival of the Federation?"

"That's too exaggerated. What kind of news could concern the survival of the Federation?"

"The Underworld values him so much, and all six major consortiums are here. I feel like this is not an exaggeration!"

Regarding the reactions of the crowd, Yanluo Wang's eyebrows curved like crescent moons, seeming very satisfied. He didn't speak to maintain order, allowing the discussions to intensify.

Listening to the undisguised discussions outside the boxes, the faces of the people from the three major consortiums of the Southern Federation were extremely ugly.

"This is truly an eye-opener. You keep news concerning the entire Federation tightly under wraps, and now you've let outsiders take advantage of it. Are you worthy of your conscience?!"

The people from the Zhou Consortium loudly accused.

"Hmph, don't pretend to be so righteous. It's hypocritical and sickening. If it were you, you'd probably do even worse!"

"It's laughable. You issued the Tianyuan Sea Air Ban under the guise of maintaining stability. Your ambition is obvious. When it comes to hypocrisy, you're even better!"

"You've already extended your hands into the Southern Federation. Are you not allowing others to resist?"

"You're..."

Bang!

Yanluo Wang's left foot landed heavily, and visible ripples spread out, forcibly suppressing the clamor in the arena.

"Everyone, the auction house does not allow loud noises. This is a rule set by the Emperor. Don't make things difficult for me."

As soon as these words were spoken, the arena gradually quieted down, but the restless atmosphere did not dissipate.

Yanluo Wang cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "The auction for Li Chenqiu is quite special. First of all, this auction is not a simple bidding competition, but rather a form of voting.

We will provide two options. Whichever option you support, use 'Divine Names' to vote for that option. The voting will end in ten minutes, and the option with the higher number of votes will be executed immediately.

Option A: Li Chenqiu will tell everyone everything that the Southern Federation has been hiding, right here and now. Option B is more direct: the Underworld will execute Li Chenqiu. Does everyone understand?"

"I want to ask, if Option A leads, what will happen to Li Chenqiu?" Wenren Qing, who was in Box Number Nine, inquired.

"Whoever spends the most 'Divine Names' on Option A will get Li Chenqiu."

"Understood, thank you."

"Yanluo Wang, I also have a question. Since you have already controlled Li Chenqiu, you should already know what we are hiding."

Yanluo Wang nodded towards Box Number Three, where the Takahashi Consortium was located: "Yes, is there a problem?"

A gleam flashed in Takahashi Mei's eyes: "How can you guarantee that after we vote to kill Li Chenqiu, the Underworld will not sell this information again?"

Yanluo Wang grinned and said in a confident tone: "Absolutely no secondary sales. I guarantee to everyone present in the name of the Emperor. Is that okay?"

"Okay."

"Since there are no objections, let the finale item make its debut!"

Everyone looked up in unison.

Under the silver moonlight, a figure slowly solidified in the air, like an almost weightless feather, gently falling towards the ground.

Everyone's gaze followed.

The young man's eyes were closed, his eyelashes trembled slightly, his face showed a morbid pallor, his head and feet were slightly upwards, as if he were unconscious from drowning.

This person was Li Chenqiu's brother—Li Fuqiu.

Yanluo Wang stepped forward a few steps, stretched out his arms to steadily catch Li Fuqiu, placed him on the ground, stood up, and said, "Everyone, begin!"

"Five 'Divine Names', Option B!" The Takahashi Consortium was the first to shout.

"Six 'Divine Names', Option B!"

"Four 'Divine Names', Option B!"

The Jin Consortium and the Ito Consortium followed closely.

"Five 'Divine Names', Option A, the two of you, stop lurking! If you don't offer 'Divine Names', I don't care anymore!" Zhou Hong of the Zhou Consortium shouted unhappily.

Li Bai said with a smile: "How can the Li family sit idly by when it comes to matters concerning the survival of the Federation? Seven 'Divine Names'."

Zhou Hong asked in a deep voice: "Ying family, are you going to continue to remain silent?"

After a few seconds, a slightly hoarse voice came from Box Number Six: "Don't worry, it won't end until ten minutes later. We'll vote last."

"It's good that you'll vote, four 'Divine Names', Option A."

"Five 'Divine Names', Option B, everyone, don't hold back anymore!"
