Realm Lord 'Harfa'

Chapter 40 Realm Lord 'Harfa'

"Hey kid, interested in joining the universe's number one bank?"

"Senior, I'm sorry." Gu Ce shook his head slightly. "I still want to participate in the Peak Genius Battle a few years from now."

"Virtual Universe Company? Well, you really should give it a try."

Sitting in front of Gu Ce was the bald domain lord who was just one step away from being recognized by the fundamental law of metal.

His name is Edra, and he is considered a core genius of the universe's number one bank.

It's roughly equivalent to the Doomsday Secret Realm/Heaven and Earth Secret Realm level of the Virtual Universe Company, but because the number of geniuses in the Universe First Bank is even smaller, its status is even higher.

"I've watched your battle videos. Your understanding of the laws of space is very profound. You have a good chance of entering the top ten of the Genius Battle," Edla said with a hearty laugh.

"Senior Edra, you flatter me," Gu Ce replied with a smile.

"By the way, senior, what happened in the secret realm?"

Edra waved her hand and continued, "I checked, and you bought the ticket with a four-star customer account, so you're qualified to know what's happening in the secret realm. I'll just tell you directly."

"The Dry Sea Secret Realm did not originally belong to the human race."

"The Dry Sea Realm was discovered approximately 1.1 million epochs ago. At that time, it was occupied by an immortal from another race who called himself the Lord of the Dry Sea."

"We once tried to recruit him, but he refused to join the human race. So, our First Bank of the Universe sent an immortal being to kill him and bring this place under human control."

"Initially, the resources produced here were useful even to some realm lords. But as time went on, it seems that due to the death of the Dry Sea God, the energy concentration here gradually decreased, and it gradually evolved into the current level-level trial ground."

"Until four months ago, something strange happened in the secret realm. Some trial participants went missing. Lord Hafa came by once, but he couldn't find the problem, so he asked me to keep an eye on things here," Edra said with emotion.

"It's all thanks to you that I discovered the truth. Lord Hafa is on his way and should be arriving soon."

After saying that, Edra shut her mouth and did not continue to explain what the truth was.

Although Gu Ce was very curious, he didn't dare to ask and could only guess in his heart.

Was this a contingency plan left behind by the Lord of the Withered Sea?

The Lord of the Dry Sea is probably not too strong. I estimate that he is at most at the level of a Marquis, and may even be inferior to Huyan Bo.

What kind of backup plan could be used to target the trial participants of the secret realm after more than a million epochs of death?

Just then, Edra suddenly stood up.

"Lord Halfa!"

"Edra said respectfully."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ce turned his head and saw a man who looked ordinary, like a middle-aged man with a beer belly on Earth, standing there laughing happily.

Lord of the Realm, "Hafa"!

Gu Ce noticed with his sharp eyes that there was a large tree mark between the eyebrows of Lord Hafa.

That is a sign that it has been recognized by the fundamental law of wood.

Gu Ce thought it made sense. Although this secret realm had gradually degenerated into a training ground for the Hengxing level, it was still once the territory of an immortal being. It was reasonable to send such a powerful realm lord to oversee it.

"And who is this?" Hafa asked Edra with a smile.

Edra quickly stepped forward and quietly introduced Gu Ce's background to Hafa.

Four-star customer account?

Hafa was slightly surprised.

The standard for a four-star rating is a deposit of more than 10,000 Mixed Yuan Units, which almost implies that there is an immortal being behind Gu Ce!

No wonder Edla treats this kid well.

Hafa nodded in sudden realization, and then his smile widened.

"Gu Ce, is it? The problem with this secret realm is due to the negligence of my Universe's Number One Bank. How about this, I'll give you a Dry Sea Crystal Marrow and waive your entrance fee this time, what do you think?" Hafa laughed.

"Then thank you very much, Lord Hafa!" Gu Ce quickly expressed his gratitude.

"I just don't know what this Dry Sea Crystal Marrow is?" Gu Ce had never heard that the Dry Sea Secret Realm produced this stuff.

Adela stepped forward to explain for Hafa: "It is a substance that is even more precious than the Dry Sea Crystal Source. It can only be found in the depths of the sea every hundred years when the tide recedes in the Dry Sea Secret Realm, which is when the seawater dries up."

"This thing will definitely enable people to master the realm of water, and will be of great help in helping users cross the threshold of the fundamental laws of water."

There's such a thing?

Gu Ce asked, slightly surprised.

No wonder the Dry Sea Secret Realm was closed to the public when it dried up!

Treasures of this caliber are estimated to be worth hundreds of times more than the Dry Sea Crystal Source.

Mastering this secret realm can bring a continuous stream of wealth, so it seems that Halifax's background is not simple either.

Halfa's ability to guard such a lucrative place suggests that he must have an immortal being supporting him.

Pity.

Gu Ce sighed inwardly.

This dried-up sea crystal marrow is useless to me.

"Lord Hafa..." Edra leaned close to Hafa and whispered something.

Afterwards, Hafa looked at Gu Ce with even more surprise and a hint of admiration.

"I was being stingy; I didn't expect you to have already crossed the threshold of the Water Origin Law," Hafa exclaimed. "In that case, I'll give you a different form of compensation."

"I have a general idea of ​​why this Dry Sea Secret Realm has changed. It is because after the death of the Dry Sea God, his divine kingdom had not completely collapsed. It seems to be bound to the Dry Sea Secret Realm, or perhaps it was supported by some treasure. As time passed, it has finally broken through now."

Hafa directly revealed the truth behind the anomaly behind the Dry Sea Secret Realm, startling the two of them.

"Is this something you can tell me?" Gu Ce couldn't help but ask.

Didn't you see how anxious Edla is?

This must be an internal secret of the world's number one bank!

"It's alright," Hafa waved his hand.

"My teacher will also be coming this time. He will open the entrance to the divine kingdom of the Lord of the Dry Sea and allow the people from the bank to enter and explore it."

"Your teacher?" Edla clearly knew something and breathed a sigh of relief.

Halfa's teacher is a Marquis-level Immortal at the Qianwu Universe Kingdom branch of the Universe First Bank!

It was a genuine conferment of a title, not the kind of self-proclaimed title bestowed by the Qianwu Universe Kingdom!

With such an existence appearing, even if the Lord of the Dry Sea were to be resurrected, he wouldn't be able to cause much of a stir.

"As far as I know, even after the immortals fall, there are still countless dangers within their divine kingdoms, as well as opportunities."

"After the Lord of the Dry Sea perished, we found no trace of his legacy!"

Hafa gave Gu Ce a meaningful look.

"I reckon there aren't many people who can enter the God Kingdom of the Dry Sea God, and their strength can't be too great. Even a Domain Lord might not be able to get in. The weaker the better, and it would be best if they had a low cultivation level but strong strength."

"In this way, even if any problems arise, my teacher, Cangyuan Hou, can rescue people in time."

"So, are you satisfied with this compensation?" Hafa laughed.

"Thank you, Lord Hafa!" Gu Ce said.

"But..." Gu Ce hesitated, a hint of wariness in his eyes. "Why does Your Excellency want me to come in?"

"Haha, just think of it as an investment," Hafa laughed. "You'll definitely be able to enter the core of the Virtual Universe Company through the Genius Battle. As long as you don't perish in the future, you'll at least have my current strength. And letting you enter the God Kingdom of the Dry Sea God doesn't require me to pay anything, so why wouldn't I be willing?"

"Don't worry, with my teacher here, a fallen immortal can't turn things around. If you're scared, you can choose not to go in. I can still give you a Dry Sea Crystal Marrow. This thing is worth over a hundred billion universe coins at auctions outside."

"I am willing to enter the Kingdom of Gods!" Gu Ce said without hesitation.

Thank you to "魔炎2333" and "爱恨别离" for the monthly tickets.
