"Heavenly Will... it is the Heavenly Will."

A chill gripped every expert present, from those well-versed in Void Return to the novices of Void Transformation.

Heavenly Will!

In the vast expanse of the domain, it’s a force that transcended all others, one that shaped destinies and guided the flow of others. It embodied the heavens, representing a collective consciousness that infused life into the realm.

"Impossible! The Heavenly Will hasn’t manifested in millions of years!"

"What could this mean? Why appears now, here, of all places?"

All eyes turned toward the Pavilion Head, whose calm demeanor seemed out of place amidst the chaos.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are witnessing a pivotal moment in our history."

He paused, allowing gravity to settle before proceeding. "This gem contains a fragment of the Heavenly Will."

Chaos erupted, a symphony of gasps and loud murmurs filling the space.

To encounter such a fragment of divine power was a rare privilege, often indicating favor—or heralding disaster.

"Merely a fragment?" Kai mused, his gaze contemplative. "A fragment implies the existence of a greater whole, something that was shattered... but why?"

This chapter is updated by freēwēbnovel.com.

A fragment suggested the original was damaged, a notion inconceivable. Why would anyone shatter the Heavenly Will?

In ancient times, the Heavenly Will manifested every million years; the one who wielded it was destined to become the Domain Lord.

The concept of a Domain Lord instilled fear, a being already poised on the Mystical step, far beyond the capabilities of those in the Void Return Realm.

While many in the Void Return could not progress further in the lower domains, a Domain Lord could. These exceptional beings harnessed power from the upper domain, directly connecting with the very fabric of law itself.

In the depths of the Martial Rising Realm, within a forgotten dimension, a dormant entity stirred.

A colossal skeletal figure, clad in tarnished armor, slowly rose from its slumber. Its bones creaked and groaned, each movement echoing through the desolate void.

As the entity opened its eyes, a faint glow illuminated the darkness. Its gaze was empty yet piercing, as if it could see through the fabric of reality itself.

The colossal figure suddenly shook its head before before disappearing into the darkness again.

***

Common Road Realm....

In the depths of the dimly lit chamber, the skeletal hand slowly withdrew into the coffin’s depths, a faint sigh echoed through the chamber, carrying with it a sense of regret and longing.

"Just a fragment? And it doesn’t even belong to this epoch."

The voice that uttered these words was ancient and ethereal, its tone tinged with disappointment. It was the voice of the coffin’s occupant, a being who had slumbered for countless eons.

The coffin lid creaked slowly shut, sealing away the skeletal hand and the secrets it held. The chamber fell into an eerie silence, the only sound the faint rustling of dust as it settled on the ancient coffin.

***

True Spirit Realm..

In the desolate expanse of the abandoned graveyard, the faint glow of green orbs gradually faded, dimming until they vanished into the earth. A fissure in the ground sealed itself with an unsettling finality, as if it had never been opened. The graveyard reverted to its desolate silence, the only sound the whispering wind as it sighed through the withered grass.

Back to the auction hall...

"A fragment indeed," the Pavilion Head nodded sagely. "It is a rare and wondrous occurrence, one that has not been seen in the Lower Domain for eons."

He turned towards the gem, his eyes gleaming, "The presence of Heavenly Will suggests that the domain is about to undergo a profound transformation. This fragment holds the potential to propel our domain to unprecedented heights or plunge it into an age of darkness."

"Ladies and gentlemen, this gem represents both an unparalleled opportunity and a profound responsibility," the Pavilion Head declared, his voice echoing through the hall. "The destiny of our domain rests upon the shoulders of whoever claims this treasure."

He paused dramatically, his gaze sweeping over the assembled crowd, "The bidding for this extraordinary gem shall commence now."

"Change the fate of the domain?" Martial Lord mused, shaking his head slowly, "Perhaps an entire heavenly will could achieve that, but just a mere fragment? It’s practically worthless."

In one of the dimly lit chambers on the third floor, the Chess Paragon sank into deep contemplation, his brow furrowed in thought," Old man what are you scheming?"

Unlike anyone else in the room, Chess Paragon had spent years studying Pavilion Head’s intricacies. He understood the depth of his character, selling a heavenly will so publicly was out of character for him. The Pavilion Head was known for his cunning and subtlety, never prone to sharing anything of significant value lightly. It raised a red flag in his mind, especially given that Pavilion Head had uttered many seemingly trivial words.

"Is he attempting to draw someone out?" Chess Paragon’s sharp gaze narrowed at the implications, realizing the stakes had escalated beyond his initial thoughts. The situation was far more critical than he’d imagined.

"A hot potato, I want no part of it," Alchemist Song muttered under his breath. Like the Chess Paragon, he seemed to have his own suspicions. His eyes flickered with contemplation as they met those of the Heaven Smelting Lord.

For a fleeting moment, their gazes intertwined, and both nodded in unison, a silent understanding exchanging between them.

"Not bad for the old alchemist. It seems he has grasped the situation at hand," Divine Blacksmith his lips curved upward.

Unlike the others present, he was aware of the hidden machinations unfolding. In fact, he had been summoned here at the request of the Pavilion Head to intervene if necessary.

"Whether or not any conflict arises, I will have fulfilled my promise."

As the fervor surrounding the Heavenly Will fragment reached its peak, the Pavilion Head ascended the auction stage once more, his presence commanding the hall’s attention.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as you know, all previous treasures have been acquired through the exchange of elemental crystals. However, this exceptional gem demands a different approach."

Silence descended upon the hall as all eyes turned towards the Pavilion Head, anticipation hanging in the air.

"The Heavenly Will fragment cannot be purchased with mere crystals. Instead, we will adopt a system of equivalent exchange," he declared.

A ripple of surprise spread through the crowd. Equivalent exchange meant that the highest bidder would not necessarily be the one with the most crystals, but rather, the one who offered an item of equal or greater value to the fragment itself or at least that what everyone thought.

"Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to clarify the conditions for exchanging an item for the Heavenly Will fragment," the Pavilion Head addressed the assembled experts. "While the value of the item you offer is certainly a factor, it is not the sole criterion."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the crowd. "The Pavilion holds certain items in high regard, items that possess historical significance or embody unique power, These items may not necessarily be the most valuable in terms of market price, but their worth to the Pavilion is immeasurable."

"Therefore, even if you present an item of greater monetary value than the fragment, we may not accept it if it lacks the significance or resonance that we seek,"

This announcement further complicated the situation for the potential bidders. Not only did they need to offer an item of equal or greater value, but it also had to align with the Pavilion’s own interests and criteria.

The acquisition of the Heavenly Will fragment had suddenly become a battle of wits.

"Bidding will commence shortly, May the most worthy claim this extraordinary treasure."
