The First Store System

Chapter 1415: Star Tortoise!

After catching the card, Grosal began to read the content. The Star Tortoise was a rare species in the Tortoise group, but not for Grosal. He had a group of Star Tortoises in his inner world, but since the store had surprised him to some extent, he wasn't as indifferent as earlier.

When his eyes reached the characteristics section, he suddenly stopped with a shocked expression.

For a being of his level, only immensely rare things could make him take a second glance, but what Gloras saw at that moment was worthy enough to make him feel shocked, a feeling he had rarely felt in billions of years.

[Astral's Reflection] was a known skill to the cultivators who tread the path of divination. Even Grosal had the skill, but what made him feel shocked was the risk.

As its details showed, it could predict fortune and tragedy. What made the skill special was that there was no level to the predicted outcome. Even an early Divine Transformation being with that skill could predict events that might benefit Sacred Creators.

The skill was immensely overpowered, and so was the cost required to use it. Even Grosal would have to think several times before activating [Astral's reflection]. But the Star Tortoise could use the skill and only needed to pay with its life essence.

A deep sleep of three thousand years was no cause for concern, considering the infinite lifespan of the beast. Grosal immediately made his decision since having the beast allowed him to find events every three thousand years. There was no certainty of the level of the predicted event, but if even one prediction turned out to be beneficial for him, it was worth it.

His ascension took several thousand years, so he would be able to try the ability at least a few times.

The upper half of the card contained an illustration of the Star Tortoise. It was a magnificent creature adorned with celestial markings and a shell that seemed to mirror the vast expanse of the night sky. 

Its shell had a mesmerizing tapestry of celestial patterns resembling constellations, galaxies, and ethereal nebulae. Its dark brown eyes, with no sclera, were deep pools of cosmic radiance, gleaming with an otherworldly luminescence.

Its limbs and head were adorned with intricate markings that glowed with divine energy. These markings changed and shifted in response to the movement of the stars, emphasizing the beast's connection to the stars and divination. The beast had two delicate, antennae-like projections on its head. It was of the same color as the engravings on the beast's shell. They acted as conduits for celestial energy.

If the characteristics were to be taken out of the situation, the Star Tortoise wasn't anything extraordinary. In his inner world, he would find one or two Star Tortoises with better abilities.

But the characteristic's value was such that it made the entire difference. After looking at it, Grosal had already made his decision, so reading the lower sections was just a formality.

Since he had decided to buy the beast, he didn't need to stay there any longer. 

Time flew by, and several minutes passed in a flash.

After getting his desired beast from the first device, he was standing in the queue of the second pillar, not far from his turn.

After several seconds, it was his turn, and similar to the first instance, he immediately pressed the button.

The next moment, the square sections began to rotate and kept at it for five seconds.

Following the rotation's halt, a beast familiar to Grosal appeared on the screen. The next moment, the card formed out of thin air and flew into his hands.

It was a beast that followed divination, but since Grosal didn't find anything extraordinary in the details, he placed the card in the return compartment and returned to the device.

Without wasting a second, he immediately pressed the button. Five seconds later, another familiar beast appeared on the screen.

Grosal didn't like the beast after reading its details, so he pressed the button again, initiating the third round of summoning.

'2' appeared on top of the screen as the rotation began. Five seconds later, a peak Supreme God Star Tortoise appeared on the screen.

Grosal suddenly raised his eyes in surprise. At that time, the card formed and flew into his hands. He caught it and immediately focused on the details.
