The First Store System

Chapter 570: Changes with the Time(1)

"Where are you going?" A man smilingly asked the rushing figure in front of him.

"I made a lot of money today, so I decided to take my mother and grandfather to the store," The figure turned around and responded, flashing the space ring on his finger.

"Oh, your mother would be very happy today," The man replied. The envy wasn't hidden in his voice and was for everyone to hear.

Even the people who heard the figure had envy in their eyes.

Many even had greed in their eyes when they looked at the space ring on the figure's fingers, but none dared to.

The current Bisan Kingdom is too different from how it used to be in the past.

The entire change in the Bisan Kingdom could be attributed to a store that had appeared in the market overnight fifty years ago, and from that day on, the destiny of the Bisan Kingdom had completely changed.

Previously, the Bisan Kingdom was one of the weakest of the Kingdoms on the Anga continent and only had a Void Forging level King, but now the situation was different.

The current King, Brinda, was the granddaughter of the Bisan Kingdom's founder. Her life had changed when that mysterious store organized an event, and she won a valuable treasure, The Battle Tower. That item made the founder choose her as an heir to the throne.

After Brinda became the King, the Kingdom had only been growing from that day.

Previously, Punta was only a Void Forging level cultivator. But now, there were millions of Tao Seed and Tao Manifestation level cultivators and thousands of Tao Palace level cultivators, with Brinda being a late Tao Palace cultivator in the Kingdom. From being the weakest Kingdom, the Bisan Kingdom was now counted in the top ten Kingdoms on the Anga continent.

The tower wasn't the only reason behind the stable and powerful reign of Brinda. Brinda had a badge that she wore even in her sleep that was the most valuable item according to known people.

Approximately thirty years ago, an Immortal who had just arrived in the Kingdom for the first time had laid his eyes on the tower and wanted it after learning about its function, so he had attacked the royal palace. After that, the royal palace remained as it was before, but the Immortal was never seen again.

From that day, the badge became even more popular than the tower. No one knows from where it came, but the most popular rumor was that it was given by the store owner of that mysterious store to the King at her coronation.

Neither the King nor the store owner ever came forward to share their opinion, so it became the most popular rumor related to the badge.

The Bisan Kingdom had not only grown in the cultivation level but also in the territory. Now the Bisan Kingdom controlled one-fifth of the total area the southern parts of the Anga continent had.

After Brinda, another member of the royal family was popular. Even more than Brinda's sons and daughters. Pento, one of the royal princes in Brinda's generation, was the third most popular figure in the Bisan Kingdom.

The most popular figure was none other than the mysterious store owner, whom none had seen if they hadn't been to the store. The store owner even refused to attend the wedding of King, despite the King personally going there to invite him.

Not only was the store owner the most popular figure, and the store the most popular destination across the Anga and other continents spread across Visteerna, but there was another thing that was related to the store and loved by all.

The store would organize an event every year, with its duration varying from three to five days, making it the most waited event across the Primal dimension.

Such was the popularity of the store that everything near the store had gotten moved away so that people could queue up in line every morning for their entry.

Except for one building, three thousand miles around the store, everything was devoid of any kind of structure.

That sole building belonged to the fourth most popular figure in the Bisan Kingdom; Maria the founder of the Skylord and also the third-ranked territory winner.

The reason behind Maria being so popular was that she was the first rumored customer of that mysterious store and also a native of the original territory. Not just that, she had Immortals working under her in the organization.

The figure only smiled, seeing the look of envy and jealousy in others' eyes.

If the figure were to say he didn't like it, it would be a lie.

Purchasing anything from the store had become a status symbol for the original inhabitants of the Kingdom. While those who had entered the mysterious world where there is no death were almost official-like figures in their groups.

Since the Kingdom was patrolled 24/7, and the punishment for killing someone in the city was death by burning, so the figure unrestrainedly told the man that he had earned a lot of money and was going to the store with his family.

The figure's entire journey passed as he faced the look of envy, jealousy, and greed.

"I am home," The figure shouted as he opened the door and entered.

Not long after, a figure rushed out from inside the house.

A gentle smile spread across the face of the lady as she looked at the figure entering the house.

If Aakesh and Lily were to be here, they would have recognized the lady. She was none other than the woman who carried his dead child and asked Oxen to resurrect him, and Aakesh had revived Turta, on the behest of Lily's request, replacing the boy with Turta's soul.

The figure that had just entered the house was none other than Turta, an Earthen Troll who had become a Human.

Even though Turta was around fifty years old, he still looked like a child around eleven-twelve. It was all due to Aakesh giving him the same amount of lifespan an Earthen Troll had.

Turta then told her mother about his experiences and how he would take her and grandfather to the store tomorrow morning to enjoy the mysterious world.
