Chapter 1293: A New Customer(11)
Laney couldn't help but stand there frozen when she saw five thousand higher Sacred stones. The wealth she had brought with her was around a few hundred higher stones, which was way far from the amount she needed to pay.
It was a high amount for her father as well, let alone her. The Ince Kingdom was a mid-tier Kingdom on the planet.
She then left the room and went to the corner. Two members of her race were waiting there for her. They were the Divine Lord level guards sent by her father to protect her.

Tap! Tap! Tap!
Aakesh had only closed his eyes for a few seconds when he heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside the store. He opened his eyes and turned in that direction. An unfamiliar face approaching the store greeted his sight.
It was a female customer and she stepped inside the store.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Hello, store owner!"
The woman didn't look around the store and immediately approached Aakesh.
Aakesh silently nodded in response to the woman's greeting and waited for her to ask the main question.
The woman belonged to the Heristic race, a mid-tier race in the Sacred Dimension, with their leader being a peak Lesser God.
It was an almost impossible task for someone of Heristic race to be here since their planet was numerous lightyears away from the Universe in which the store was located.
Despite that, Elia was here, and it all had to do with her fortune.
Elia's face showed the struggle she had gone through to come to the store. What would have been a beautiful face and body turned into a scarred face and a thin body. Elia was the last living member of the Heristic race.
Heristics lived in peace, but there was an event several centuries ago.
The Heristics lived on a low-level planet as the overlords, but things began to change when a second Lesser God was born on the planet, giving birth to someone who could stand against the ruler of the Heristics for the overlord position.
To solve the challenge, the ruler of the Heristics proposed a marriage alliance between the second Lesser God and his daughter. That daughter was none other than Elia.
Elia's opinion didn't matter, but as luck would have it, the man agreed to accept the marriage alliance and also treated her favorably.
Elia's life reached its peak since her husband was a Lesser God and loved her deeply, as was her father. Being related directly to the only two Lesser Gods made her authority on the planet only second to those two people.
Life was going well for the planet as the marriage alliance brought forth a more stable power system for the planet, but good times have to come to an end, or how else would the people know what good and bad times were?
The planet on which the Heristics were based was Gossal. Only a few figures in the dimension knew that the planets were also living things. It was just that it was extremely rare for a planet to become sentient and have its own will.
Gossal became one of those rare planets, and once its will awakened, it was a blessing for every being living there. But with an awakened planet came greedy beings who wanted to retrieve its core.
The world core of a living planet was highly stable and durable, allowing it to be one of the best materials to create a pocket space. Even the lowest level of the living world core would sell for a few thousand supreme Sacred stones.
That kind of amount was enough to push even the Supreme Gods to work, and the same thing happened with the Gossal.
A powerful Supreme God level cultivator attacked. The planet was newly awakened at that time, so it wasn't strong enough to keep a Supreme God out of its barrier.
Despite being newly awakened, its will was powerful enough to override the thinking of the two Lesser Gods. There was a brutal war for its survival, but a Supreme God was a Supreme God, and the battle was over not long after it began.
The battle resulted in the deaths of a vast number of the planet's inhabitants. Seeing no hope of its survival, the world's will overruled every citizen's will and forced them to self-destruct.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe planet wanted the intruder to be severely injured for what the man did, and it had already accepted its loss.
At that time, one man succeeded in restoring his will, and that person was none other than Elia's husband. It was the love he had for Elia that forced him to overpower the world.
It wasn't easy, and he could only be there for several seconds, and to save his wife, he pleaded with the world's will to let go of Elia.
The world's will had already grown insane, so it didn't understand what the husband was saying, but instead, it grew angrier at the man for resisting.
When the husband saw there was no hope of his wife being freed from the world's control, he decided to self-destruct, not toward the enemy but toward the world.
***
Whenever Elia remembered the scene of her husband exploding, her mind would go crazy. Even Elia didn't know how she survived.
When she woke up after the explosion, she found herself in a different place and deeply injured all over her body. It took decades for her to return to health, and then she began the journey to return to Gossal.
Her mind told her that her family was dead, but her heart had faint hopes and she wanted to see her son's face. When she reached the location, the planet was nowhere to be found, and when she went to the nearby planet and searched for information, she found that there were no survivors from the event.
***
Elia's face had no smile, and she had no respect for Aakesh as she greeted him.
Her emotions died out the day she found out that her family had died, and from that day on, she had been wandering across the dimension. There was only one thought keeping her alive, and that was vengeance for her husband, her son, and other family members.
