Chapter 511: Void Balance

"Purchase me?"

Wujian was extremely puzzled upon hearing this statement from Li Heng.

"Do you think you are very free right now, not subordinate to anyone?" Li Heng asked with a smile. With his Sacred vision, he could clearly see the faint Causal Lines on Wujian.

Wujian believed himself to be very free and independent.

But in reality, the causal essence of that experimental subject had not changed. From a higher level and an extremely deep essence, Wujian belonged to the organization that created it.

Therefore, it could be said exactly like this.

His affairs could not be entirely decided by himself.

Upon hearing this, Wujian was silent for a moment, then sighed.

"Alright then, you may trade to purchase me. I will not resist, but since you have thought of this point, you should be clear that as an experimental subject, my price is definitely not low."

"I hope you can afford to pay it."

After Li Heng pointed this out, Wujian could also roughly guess why. Although he had always considered himself independent and free, he could not stop others from thinking otherwise.

"Rest assured, I can afford it."

Li Heng smiled slightly. Back when he became the so-called Wujian Shopkeeper, he had thought that if there were an opportunity, he must buy this Wujian; perhaps there could be different gains.

And now, the time had come.

Although Wujian, as that experimental subject Jiuhao, might have an extremely high hidden price, he could completely achieve a feat of moving a thousand pounds with four ounces by using the Trading Balance and utilizing Source Power to downgrade and exchange for Trading Weights!

He tossed the Trading Balance into the Void; the Trading Balance grew against the wind, becoming incomparably huge, filling the Void, and placed Wujian on the other end of the balance, about to begin the trade.

However, at this moment, Li Heng discovered that the sturdiness of the Trading Balance needed improvement; just by placing one Wujian on it, it was already teetering.

If he were to add the Trading Chips, it would definitely shatter.

He could not help but shake his head.

A clone projection was indeed fragile and limited in ability.

Since that was the case, then let the true body come!

Although Li Heng did not know whether the Trading Balance was condensed purely from the Trading Law or if there was a Strange entity rooted in the origin of the Trading Law behind it.

But he was about to find out.

With a movement of his mind, he erupted with Divine Power, the authority of Infinite power piercing through time and space, and through the Trading Balance before him, began to trace back to its true body.

His consciousness pierced through the dark Void, arriving at an unfathomable place.

A huge balance, which seemed to be an upgraded version of the Trading Balance, radiating an eternal and unchanging Dao rhyme, trading across the heavens, appeared before Li Heng's eyes; it seemed to be the true body of the Trading Balance.

Li Heng saw it.

On one end was a World of the heavens, a Multiverse, while on the other end was a Terror figure standing above the heavens. But the next moment, it changed again; one end became a Chaos Sea, and the other end became an incomparably brilliant civilization.

On this balance, trades were being conducted at every moment!

Every trade from the Great Void!

At this time, a piece of information also appeared in his mind.

"Greetings, guest. The Void Balance serves you wholeheartedly..."

After reading the information within, Li Heng was somewhat surprised.

According to the information, the origin of this Void Balance could not be examined; it seemed to have no beginning and no end, and could connect to the Void Balance from anywhere, past, present, or future.

It was the embodiment of the concept of trade. Every trade in the Great Void could be conducted using the Void Balance; the Void Balance would notarize it, and no one could go back on their word after the trade.

Interesting, Li Heng smiled lightly.

Although the information said so, and his surface perception indeed felt that this was the embodiment of the Trading Law, he sensed through his Source Power vision that this Void Balance had the aura of Calamity, but more of it was that kind of Strange, the aura of Rule Weird.

It was very clear that this Void Balance was not simple.

And the most critical point was that through the information left behind by the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court, he discovered that during the era of the Immortal Gods of the Heavenly Court, there was no such thing as this so-called Void Balance at all.

At that time, the Heavenly Court suppressed the world and quelled all defiance.

Although in the end, it was still taught a lesson by Calamities and monsters.

This meant to say.

The Void Balance only appeared after the destruction of the Heavenly Court?

It might even have appeared only after the Heavenly Emperor left the Great Void?

Pondering slightly in his heart, Li Heng spoke.

"I want to trade for a Strange."

The information came again.

"Understood, it has been registered for the guest. It is detected that the guest possesses a sub-body of this balance; the guest can conduct the trade through the sub-body, and the true body will provide power support."

"Are you not conducting it on your true body?"

Li Heng asked.

"There is no need." The information replied again.

Li Heng was dumbfounded and laughed.

It turned out that this Void Balance did not even look down upon this trade.

But it was indeed true; after all, the trades on the true body of the Void Balance were either a Multiverse or a vast Chaos Sea; how could it look down upon a mere Strange?

He did not dwell on this point, took a deep look at this Void Balance, memorized the space-time coordinates of this dark place, and his consciousness returned directly to his true body.

At this time, dark power surged, blessing the Trading Balance.

The Trading Balance, which had been teetering and about to shatter, instantly became stable and shone brightly, just waiting for Li Heng to cast the weights on the other end to conduct the trade.

Li Heng did not dawdle, letting the Source Power he possessed downgrade and transform into the chips required by this Trading Balance, continuously placing them on the other end of the balance.

It was very clear that Wujian was indeed very expensive.

Even though he had placed enough chips to fill a universe, the balance still did not level out; Wujian's side still weighed it down.

Although Wujian was also very bewildered.

He did not know that he was worth so much either.

Li Heng's expression did not change as he continued to add more Chips.

This kind of consumption was entirely within his expectations.

If he had truly traded for Wujian so easily, he would have instead doubted Wujian's value. Now it was very clear: the more valuable Wujian was, the happier he was.

However, very quickly, because too many Chips had been added, the balance began to totter again, and cracks appeared. Li Heng could not help but shake his head; this Void balance was no good, it was not attentive enough.

He once again split off his Divine Sense and headed toward the dark, mysterious place.

"What is going on? Was it not said that your true body's power would be added?" Looking at the Void balance before him, which was so huge it seemed capable of filling the Great Void, Li Heng spoke slowly, questioning it.

The Void balance was also somewhat puzzled.

Why had this new customer come again?

But when it sensed the situation on Li Heng's end, it became directly embarrassed. What was going on? How could a mere Strange be worth so much? And how could this person bring out so much wealth? It had almost burst the projection that had been reinforced by its true body's power!

"Apologies, customer, it was my lack of consideration. I have now strengthened the power. I have now upgraded the customer's rank to Heaven-Rank Customer, enjoying various trading privileges of my Void balance."

The Void balance's attitude in admitting its mistake was very straightforward.

It realized that this was no lucky person; he was clearly a hidden powerhouse, at the very least a wealthy person, a big customer!

One does not strike a person who is smiling.

With the Void balance having this attitude, Li Heng found it difficult to lose his temper, so he nodded and said, "Pay attention next time," before returning.

Seeing Li Heng's consciousness depart.

The Void balance, having noticed Li Heng, felt puzzled in its heart.

Strange, the projections it distributed should have a set number, and it should have registered every customer who possessed its projections; why did this living being have no record?

If this living being had not actively connected to its true body, it would not have even known this projection existed, and it always felt that this projection was not very much under its control, as if it did not belong to it...

What was the origin of this living being? Where did he come from?

Thinking this, it wanted to investigate further, and then it noticed that the place Li Heng came from was somewhat wrong. These spatial coordinates, these temporal coordinates...

It fell silent; could it actually be that place?
