The People's God: Sacrificing Trillions to Ascend-Chapter 400 - Auction

After defeating Wei En, Han Wu released his transformation and felt the weight of exhaustion. Here, he could use his Divine Power only once per day, and each transformation drained a tremendous amount of his stamina.

Han Wu was about to return to rest when someone else came looking for him. It was Elina, the God King of Light’s daughter, flanked by two handsome elves.

Han Wu grumbled inwardly, She really picked the perfect time to come looking for me, right when I’m exhausted.

“Han Wu, I am here to—” Elina began, but Han Wu cut her off before she could finish.

“I’m tired today and want to rest. Talk to me tomorrow,” he said.

Elina refused to let him walk away just like that. “I have something important to discuss, and you must listen to me.”

Han Wu ignored her and turned to return to his room, but Elina chased after him.

Qin Shuang stopped her vehemently. “Han Wu said he’s going back to rest.”

Elina’s distress showed. “But this is crucial for Han Wu. It’s about him joining the Light faction.”

Qin Shuang rolled her eyes at Elina’s persistence. Han Wu had rejected her numerous times, yet she still kept pestering him to join the Light faction.

“This is the last time I’ll say this. Han Wu is tired and needs rest. He will never join the Light faction because he’s already the Holy Son of Death!” Qin Shuang stated.

Elina stood her ground. “If he joins the Light faction, he can become a Holy Son as well.”

Qin Shuang didn’t want to waste time bickering with her and drew her sword. “Han Wu wants to rest. Stop bothering him and leave.”

Elina had never experienced anything like this before, yet she prepared to strike. She gathered light particles in her hands and formed an orb of light. In response, Qin Shuang’s body turned into pure lightning, and the crackle of electricity echoed from a distance.

The two elves at Elina’s side aimed their arrows at Qin Shuang, ready to fire the moment Elina attacked. Just as they were about to clash, Jing Jing appeared beside Qin Shuang, accompanied by hundreds of Skeleton Knights.

Elina felt no fear at the sight of skeletons, but the two handsome elves did. They repeatedly urged her not to act rashly.

After a moment of thought, Elina recognized the impulsiveness of her actions. At present, she was in her clone and couldn’t hope to defeat hundreds of Skeleton Knights. Retreat was her only option, but she stubbornly declared, “I will come back tomorrow to find Han Wu.”

With that, she left with the two elves. Jing Jing despised the Light faction but didn’t try to stop Elina. She understood the importance of seeing the bigger picture.

Qin Shuang sighed and put her weapon away. “The situation is getting out of hand. I hope Han Wu can handle it.”

Jing Jing’s confidence in Han Wu never wavered. “My god will guide me in the right direction.”

Han Wu had slept well and felt rejuvenated when he awoke the next day. Today he would sell the lesser golems.

The other factions’ representatives were already gathered outside his mine, so Han Wu ordered Akanzor to lead the slaves in ushering them into the stone palace built by Jing Jing’s skeletons.

Han Wu took some time to scan the crowd and spotted many familiar faces: Wei En, whom he had defeated the previous day; Elina, who kept pestering him to join the Light faction; Huang Shengjun, the current goblin king; and Xiang Meng and his companions.

Soon, the auction commenced. Han Wu didn’t show himself, leaving Akanzor in charge of the auction. Excitement rippled through the representatives when Akanzor displayed the lesser golems. Owning even one meant they would gain a powerful fighter in their ranks, and no one intended to let that chance slip away.

This time, Han Wu had no intention of selling them for money. Instead, he chose a barter system, trading the lesser golems for whatever treasures the bidders offered. One by one, the factions presented their offers.

“Dwarf Kingdom, we offer ten pieces of 2-Star God equipment.”

“Demihumans, we will trade 300 War Kobolds for a single lesser golem.”

“We are from Ravendell, the land of the elves. We are willing to exchange 50 Elemental Stones.”

“Human Kingdom here. We present a full set of 3-Star God equipment...”

The students from Imperial College joined in as well.

“Six Rank 4 Sacred Objects and one 4-Star God equipment.”

“Rank 4 Skill: Black Flash.”

“300 Warfront Essence.”

Han Wu waited in the dark, listening as each faction named its price before making his decision. He decided to trade one lesser golem for the Human Kingdom’s 3-Star God equipment set. Although it wasn’t as powerful as the set Han Wu wore, it was still a full set capable of protecting one’s life. It was a fair exchange for a lesser golem.

The Human Kingdom’s representative was elated once the trade went through. His king had ordered him to return with at least one lesser golem, even if it meant trading every treasure he carried. Thankfully, he had fulfilled that command, and Han Wu had completed his first sale.

With that, the various factions grasped just how expensive a lesser golem was and began bidding increasingly higher amounts. Han Wu watched eagerly, curious how high the prices would climb as more and more lesser golems were sold.

Those who secured a lesser golem were exhilarated to the point they were planning celebrations for when they returned. Those who failed to obtain one grew restless. What if they became the only faction without a lesser golem while the others possessed at least one? The other factions would suppress them once they returned! Driven by that fear, they kept increasing their bids, even far beyond a lesser golem’s standard value.

To meet their demand, Han Wu chose to manufacture five additional lesser golems instead of ending the auction as he had planned. In the end, he sold fifteen lesser golems and obtained many treasures.

Han Wu was signaling Akanzor to stop the auction when Wei En suddenly stood up and exposed him. “Junior Han Wu, stop hiding in the shadows while counting the treasures that everyone worked so hard to obtain. Show us the real Transmutation Golem instead. Let us, your seniors, take a proper look.”

All the students from Imperial College turned toward Akanzor on stage. They didn’t have an information network as extensive as Elina’s, so they had assumed that Akanzor was the mastermind. None would have suspected that the real mastermind was Han Wu, the first-year valedictorian.

Exposed, Han Wu had no choice but to step forward with a smile. He glared at Wei En and spoke for all to hear. “Senior Wei, I must admit that you have an incredible regenerative ability. To think you could reconstruct your body in just a single day, even after I destroyed it, including the clothes.”

The remark bordered on harassment. As expected, Wei En’s face burned red. She had never imagined that he would voice it publicly. It was a reckless act that hurt them both!

“Han Wu, do you have a death wish?” Wei En hissed through gritted teeth, her eyes blazing with terrifying bloodlust.
