The people watching Arran were the same ones who had been present when he arrived. After a few minutes, the people they had sent off had returned, and they were whispering something into the ears of their various employers.Arran didn't know what they were saying, but he could venture a guess. It was most likely that he and his group had been investigated and the guests in the lounge were being informed of the results of the investigation.When you thought about it, it made a lot of sense. Typically, it was impossible for anybody to be able to investigate the identities of others in the auction house unless one possessed a special identity. For people with powerful backgrounds, it was easy to examine the information of others. This was the advantage of backing. In that case, it wasn't surprising that Arran's identity was exposed... not that he intended to hide it in the first place.Of the group, only Arran was worth these people's attention. That was why, while receiving the report o
"This is so good! It burns like a ball of fire eating away at your nerves but also leaves a warmth in your body as if you had just finished an intense cardio exercise. What the hell is in it?" Arran exclaimed.There was a bright gleam in Arran's eyes as he looked at the glass of green liquid in his hand. The look in his eyes was like he had seen a whole new world. There was a shock, surprise, astonishment, and finally, wonder.Since leaving earth and coming to the upper realm, not many things had managed to surprise Arran. even the fact that there were alien races and whole realms and civilizations in the universe did not shock Arran or the fact that he was actually not human.The most feeling Arran could be said to have shown to all the new things that had happened to him since leaving Earth was intrigue and exhilaration. Awakening his bloodline and wielding wondrous powers had excited Arran nothing more, and fighting against opponents with various amazing abilities gave him a rush.
Justifiably, Arran was correct. The whole point of stepping into the vital realm was to fundamentally evolve from a mortal being into a higher order of life to become a demi being. Having already broken past the vital realm, Arran was no longer fundamentally mortal.Now, hearing that he was still mortal in some aspects, Arran was rightfully confused. At the end of the day, this confusion stemmed from the fact that he did not understand the realms of advancement in the higher universe.Knowing this, Trapp started to slowly explain to Arran while the bartender cleaned the mess he had made."You're right, fundamentally, you are no longer a mortal. You should know that mortals are one of the lowest orders of life and most species in the universe started as mortals. The goal of training is to abandon our original life orders and transcend to become stronger. That is where the different realms of advancement and strength stem from.""Because various species have different ways of advancing
"What the hell!" "How do immortal beings have limits on their lifespans? Doesn't the whole point of being immortal mean that you are not bound by your lifespan and can exist forever? In that case, being limited by your lifespan defeats the whole purpose of being immortal. I don't understand what you're trying to get at here." Arran said in confusion. Hehe! Chuckling, Trapp answered, "As you said, true immortals can exist forever and as such, they do not possess or have any need for lifespan. But you should also know that there are some beings that are considered immortals even though they actually aren't. An example simply being long-lived beings." "Most individuals that have very long lifespans, that number in the tens of thousands or millions, are usually referred to as immortals. But they are not true immortals because after reaching the limits of their lifespan, they will eventually die." "Unlike these long-lived beings, this race of immortals is true immortals that can exist
Arran marveled at all he had learned from Trapp regarding this race of immortals. To him, it was unimaginable that there would be such a powerful race existing in this universe.Apart from the limitation in their lifespan, which when he thought about it was not much of a limitation compared to some other races out there, Arran felt that they were a little too powerful to be real. Right now, he really wanted to meet one of them to see just what they looked like.Would they be like the image of immortals that were popular on earth? Beings that stood more than a hundred feet tall with clouds obscuring their forms and light shrouding them from the eyes of mortals as they stood loftily in the sky, lording over all living beings.Granted, Arran felt his imagination of these immortals was too far-fetched to be true and highly dependent on how the humans on earth perceived them. But it just went a long way to show how interested Arran was in this race of immortals."Wow, for such a race to ex
Among mortal races, there were naturally those that had more potential than others. Humans were among the more average mortal races in the entire universe. But they possessed a frightening amount of potential that could be said to be one of the highest in the whole universe.Not many races could compare in potential to the potential of humans to develop. But there were still a few, among which is naturally the Aeth.Apart from having a longer lifespan than humans, the Aeth race also possessed a higher growth limit than them. Using the previous analogy, if human strength was capped at 10, the Aeth were at least 20. That is to say, if the Aeth were to train using their own body's vital energy without supplementing it with any form of external energy, an adult Aeth could theoretically grow to 25 before being unable to grow again.Of course, although it is theoretically possible for one's strength to reach 25, it didn't mean that they would actually do that. That is, because the closer it
"Hehe!" Trapp chuckled humorously as he saw Arran's incredulous look. Then he said to Arran."Listen, I will be quick. I never said there would only be one kind of limiter placed on each species in the universe. In fact, there could be different kinds of limiters. For mortals, the gene lock on the body is just one of the most common kinds of limiters.""But there is another very common kind of limiter that mortals have. In a sense, this kind of limiter and the gene lock are usually both present on mortals at the same time. This limiter is known as the mind block limiter.""From its name, it is easy to guess that it is a limiter placed in the mind of mortals. The function of this limiter is to block out the amount of information that mortals can perceive, thus preventing them from prying into the secrets of the universe and understanding its laws.""Are you keeping up with me thus far?" Trapp asked Arran.Arran nodded. he was listening attentively."Good...""We don't have much time le
The lounge was clearing up more and more and only a few groups of people were left, including Arran and his group."It looks like the auction is about to start," Trapp noted all of a sudden.Arran was pulled away from his thoughts by this statement. Looking around, he too noticed what was going on. With everybody leaving, it was highly likely that the auction was really about to start.Arran turned to Elena, who had been quiet all this like, and gave her a pointed look.Elena quickly said, "That is correct. The auction is about to start. Unlike other auctions in the various other floors, the time for this secret auction is always fixed and when an auction is held, it is usually held around this time."Hearing Elena's confirmation, Arran nodded. then he sighed.Sigh!"Well then, I guess we should be on our way. It's just too bad I didn't get to ask for any information about the auction and its various participants."Arran was feeling very regretful. Because of him unexpectedly breaking
