Chapter 1504: Appearance of a Rare Item!

As the tradition continued, the first group of people eligible to enter Panagea were shrouded in transparent, golden light. Those who were fortunate to be a part of that smiled with joy, while the remaining ones had disappointed expressions.

The group that got shrouded in red light had a heartbreaking expression since they were short of the queue and couldn\'t enter the Panagea for the day.

Those who owned any of the three store cards immediately walked to the portal room, while those without one formed a queue to pay for their stay.

Maria was the first in line, so she respectfully greeted Aakesh, as she had been doing so for years. She then left the line and rushed to the portal room, hoping to clear the quest she had been doing for several Panagea years.

A few minutes later, the queue of customers in the first group had completely entered the portal room, so other customers began to join the line, hoping to get their answers or whatever purpose they had behind joining the queue.

It was only early in the morning, but tens of new customers had already entered the store, and they were also part of the queue.

"Hello, store owner," Breeza respectfully greeted Aakesh.

Breeza was a member of the Thorron race and was native to Thorr City. Despite living in Thorr City, many could only dream of entering the store due to its expensive products, and Breeza was one such member of that group.

Fortunately for her, her fortunes changed a day before the present. She lived on the destitute side of Twenty-Third Street, and misfortune struck her. The residence became a casualty of the battle between two sets of organizations.

Every inch of Thorr City was worth gold, and its price was only increasing day by day as the store\'s popularity kept growing. Even though the city was stable from the outside due to the store\'s presence, there were still many gangs that controlled large swathes of land.

Alfred had a powerful status, so every organization used to treat him respectfully and fear him, but as the cost of the land grew, that respect and fear disappeared. One organization became wealthy overnight by selling its land holdings. That was the dream of other small gangs as well, so fighting would erupt from time to time. Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn

As Breeze\'s luck would have it, the area around her residence became a spot of struggle, which turned her house into ruin. It was like the sky crashing on her, but after her residence was destroyed, a white ray of light suddenly emerged from the ground and flew up to the sky.

The sudden emergence of the white ray of light had taken everyone\'s attention and even alerted the city guards, forcing the gang to run away.

The white ray of light kept floating in the sky for some time, and then it descended directly upon Breeze. It automatically flew into her hands, and when she looked at it, she found it was a stone the size of an almond.

It was milky in color, and as Breeze was in direct contact with it, she felt a warm current flowing through her body. She had lived in poverty since the death of her parents, so her inner body condition was immensely terrible.

For the last seven hundred years, she had been stuck at late Divine Transformation with not even a slight change in her cultivation. But with only a short contact with the milky stone, the impurities she had accumulated over the years from her surroundings and other things flowed out.

In a few moments, a small pool had formed around her, causing the area to turn smelly. It wasn\'t the end, as a warm torrent of energy formed around her body, and her cultivation began to grow.

In only a moment, she had gained ten percent of the required energy to step into the peak Divine Transformation level.

The milky stone she received a day before gave her the hope to enter the store since a well-intentioned guard who was also a customer of the store told her to use it to borrow money from the store.

The man had no idea what the stone was or how much it would cost, but looking at its effect, he thought it would be worth enough money for a Divine Transformation user.

Aakesh silently responded to the woman\'s greetings and waited for her to ask the question.

Breeze didn\'t waste any time and hesitantly took out the milky stone from her space ring. Autumn and Katrina, who were minding their own business, suddenly sat up straight and looked at the milky stone with a shocked expression.

Aakesh didn\'t have that kind of intense reaction, but even he was surprised after seeing the stone. The milky stone wasn\'t something someone like the woman in front of him should have.

The milky stone was the Mother Stone, and it was naturally formed on the planets. It was extremely rare, so much so that even the lowest quality of Mother Stone was worth millions of ultimate Sacred stones.

There was a reason behind the stone being expensive and that had to do with the energy stored in the stone. Even though the stone in the woman\'s hands was only the size of an almond, it contained so much energy that if someone were to unleash it at once, several universes would return to their end in an instant.

It didn\'t mean that the stone was a weapon, but it had another use. It got the title of \'Mother\' because of the nurturing capability of the energy. It was a type of energy that altered the physique of a being to make it more attuned to the supreme element of creation.

If someone were to get the best quality of the Mother Stone, they would be able to achieve [Creation Embryo]. It was one of the top physiques in the Multiverse.

If a Supreme God were to have that physique, they would be able to create a fully perfect world with just a snap of their fingers; that much overpowered the physique was.

Even though the one in the woman\'s hands was only the lowest quality, if she were to absorb it fully, she would at least reach the nascent stage of the physique. She might not be able to create a world of her own with a snap of her fingers, but she could enhance her inner world, which would directly affect her cultivation.

"Are you certain you want to use the Mother Stone to borrow from the store?" Aakesh asked Breeze after informing her of the details of the Mother Stone.

"Why don\'t you sell it to me?" At that moment, Katrina suddenly chimed in and asked.

Breeze was taken aback by a sudden intrusion from Katrina. But since Katrina was someone who had a chair in the store, she was still respectful and looked at her.

Breeze knew she had gotten a heavenly item after learning about the stone, but despite that, she had no hesitation in using it to borrow from the store. She was a weak creature, who wouldn\'t even be able to know how she died if others found out about the stone being in her possession.

"Do you have money to pay her? I won\'t lend you this time," Before Breeze could respond, Aakesh suddenly stated.

Katrina, who could see the stone falling in her hands, couldn\'t help but frown when she heard Aakesh. As Aakesh said, she didn\'t have money to purchase the Mother Stone. She hoped for Aakesh to lend him, but hearing his refusal even before she asked, she removed any hopes of that.

Aakesh would usually lend her money, but since he was a store owner, he couldn\'t let his money help in taking a business away from the store.

Katrina then looked at Autumn and saw her immediately shake her head in refusal. She was about to give up on the stone when she suddenly had an idea.

"What about me paying you in installments since you wouldn\'t be able to handle that kind of money at all?"

Breeze didn\'t immediately respond but began to think. Thorr City was safe, but there were dangerous situations from time to time. It was a world where the strong ate the weak. If the strong were to find the possessions of the weak, they would try to snatch them for themselves.

Katrina smiled upon seeing the pondering expression on Breeze\'s face. She then immediately turned around to look at Aakesh. If he refused, she wouldn\'t do the trade, even if she knew the value of the stone. Aakesh was someone who meant the most to her in this world. (A/N: No romantic feelings, just appreciation.)
