“Give it to him?”

Wanqu Dominator wore a calm smile on his face, but inside, waves of shock surged.

Give it to him?

That ‘Fragment World’ worth 1.2 million Chaos Stones—just give it directly to Lin Yuan?

But the one transmitting the voice was his master, Ancient Ming Venerable, the ruler of this Chaos Continent. If Ancient Ming Venerable said to give it to Lin Yuan, then it must be given.

“Master, how should I give it?”

Wanqu Dominator quickly transmitted his voice to inquire.

As a disciple of Ancient Ming Venerable, Wanqu Dominator had the means to directly contact his master.

“Find a random reason to give it away, and remember, don’t make it too obvious.” The voice continued to ring in Wanqu Dominator’s ears.

This made Wanqu Dominator’s thoughts run wild.

He discreetly sized up Lin Yuan.

From his master’s tone, Wanqu Dominator could sense an intention to curry favor, perhaps even to please Lin Yuan.

To give away a ‘Fragment World’ worth 1.2 million Chaos Stones just like that and still find a suitable reason to avoid raising Lin Yuan’s suspicions or alertness?

If that wasn’t an attempt to curry favor, then what was?

Wanqu Dominator was quite familiar with such tones; as a disciple of a Venerable, he was often the subject of flattery from other powerful beings.

But now, Ancient Ming Venerable himself was proactively seeking to please Lin Yuan.

Ancient Ming Venerable was a Chaos Venerable, and not just any — he was among the stronger Chaos Venerables. Who could possibly be important enough for even Ancient Ming Venerable to want to win their favor?

Wanqu Dominator’s heart trembled, and he dared not delve deeper into his thoughts.

“Could Galaxy have some unfathomable background?”

Wanqu Dominator’s understanding led him to speculate whether Lin Yuan had some significant background.

…

“These ‘Fragment Worlds’?”

Lin Yuan meticulously examined the other dozens of ‘Fragment Worlds.’

Judging by the quality, they all met Lin Yuan’s requirements. While none matched the ‘Fragment World’ with Star Tear Stone in terms of magnificence, the prices were reasonable and remained within Lin Yuan’s budget.

“I’ll choose this one.”

After comparing thoroughly, Lin Yuan finally selected one particular ‘Fragment World.’

This particular ‘Fragment World’ was approximately only one-ten-thousandth the size of a normal universe. The advantage was that it had minimal radiation and wouldn’t negatively impact weaker, frail human citizens.

“Galaxy.”

Wanqu Dominator waved his hand, causing the virtual projections of all the micro ‘Fragment Worlds’ in front of them to disappear, leaving only the ‘Fragment World’ with Star Tear Stone.

“Wanqu?”

Lin Yuan looked at Wanqu Dominator, his expression puzzled.

“I feel an instant connection with Galaxy. If you want this Star Tear ‘Fragment World,’ I can take the liberty of trading it to you right now.”

“As for the Chaos Stones? You can pay them later, whenever you have them.”

Wanqu Dominator spoke.

“Trade it to me first?”

Lin Yuan was a bit stunned upon hearing this.

Chaos Stones to be paid later, and the ‘Fragment World’ traded to him first?

Anywhere else, pay-and-deliver is the most basic principle of trade; some places even require advance ‘deposits.’

As for taking the goods first and paying later, how was that different from outright gifting?

“There’s no choice. This Star Tear ‘Fragment World’ is too expensive and likely won’t find a buyer. Rather than leaving it empty, I’d rather give it to Galaxy.”

Wanqu Dominator smiled and said, “Rest assured, Galaxy, this is a normal trade. You won’t be burdened by any causal obligations or pressures.”

“Normal trade?”

Lin Yuan looked at the other party.

Feeling somewhat strange inside.

He also understood the meaning behind Wanqu Dominator’s statement.

The stronger one is, the more they care about causal relationships, and the less likely they are to owe favors.

Wanqu Dominator gifting this ‘Fragment World’ so generously, without the affirmation of causal obligation, left Lin Yuan wondering about his true intentions.

First gifting a ‘Fragment World.’

Then promising that no causal debts were involved.

Lin Yuan momentarily couldn’t discern Wanqu Dominator’s motives.

“Is it Ancient Ming Venerable?”

Lin Yuan’s heart pondered.

As a disciple of Ancient Ming Venerable, Wanqu Dominator held immense authority.

But no matter how vast his authority, it still had limits; gifting a ‘Fragment World’ worth 1.2 million Chaos Stones outright? Without Ancient Ming Venerable’s explicit consent?

It would be impossible.

“What do you think? If Galaxy agrees, we can finalize this matter, and ownership of the Star Tear ‘Fragment World’ can be transferred immediately.”

Wanqu Dominator said.

“Thank you.”

Lin Yuan didn’t hesitate at all.

Even if there were causal obligations tied to a ‘Fragment World’ worth 1.2 million Chaos Stones, Lin Yuan would still consider it. Let alone when there weren’t any?

It was practically free, so why not take it?

After all, human civilization had just left their original universe. The better the environment of their new home, the more beneficial it would be for humanity’s future development. Lin Yuan saw no reason to hold back.

“Alright.”

“This is the formation control core for the Star Tear ‘Fragment World.'”

Wanqu Dominator turned his hand and produced a Crystal Stone. Long ago, when Chaos Dragon Beasts roared and shattered countless massive asteroids, forming numerous ‘Fragment Worlds,’ he had deliberately sorted things out, integrating them into the grand formation of Ancient Ming’s Chaos Continent.

This Crystal Stone represented control over the Star Tear ‘Fragment World.’

Lin Yuan accepted the Crystal Stone and probed it slightly, feeling reassured.

Afterward, Wanqu Dominator spent some time chatting with Lin Yuan, primarily introducing various uses for the ‘Fragment World.’

Separating from Wanqu Dominator, Lin Yuan rose and left the grand hall.

“Why would Ancient Ming Venerable gift such a ‘Fragment World’ to me?” Lin Yuan thought as he walked through the trading area.

First of all, Ancient Ming Venerable definitely bore him no ill will.

With Ancient Ming Chaos Venerable’s status, if there were even a hint of killing intent, Lin Yuan’s current form would have long since been obliterated without leaving any chance for survival.

Lin Yuan and Ancient Ming Venerable shared no grudges, nor any conflicts, making it even less likely that there were unresolved issues between them.

Lin Yuan could sense the benevolence that Ancient Ming Venerable extended to him. If there were even the slightest alternative motives, he would not waive causal obligations for Lin Yuan entirely.
