Chapter 693: Reckless Brute
The hundred thousand worlds were created by extracting different periods from the same Earth and treating each as a separate plane. Heaven’s plan was to turn these hundred thousand Earth planes into an endless source of military recruits.
Through various methods of stimulation and cultivation, countless heroes from Earth could grow stronger and join the cosmic battlefield. Their participation was meant to support the already devastated future and reverse the fate of Earth, which was on the brink of destruction by the Reapers.
However, something had gone wrong when the plan had been executed. The Reapers had struck back, and an Eden appeared within Chongque City. Now, the human situation on the cosmic battlefield was dire. The rear had also been infiltrated by the enemy.

Huang Dinggou replied, "Some use it for cultivation, others for alchemy or forging."
Li Xiaofei felt a chill run down his spine. The next auction items all came from different planes of Earth. They were all living people. There were also royal artifacts from various kings and dynasties. All of them were contraband.
Li Xiaofei did not place any more bids. Instead, he committed each bidder’s identity and face to memory. In the end, the auction concluded smoothly.

Li Xiaofei asked, “What kind of appreciation are you expecting?”
