The First Store System

Chapter 921: A Burning Hope!

Elasha was stroking the bow left by his dead husband when a sudden blinding light emerged in the room.

Elasha ignored it since nothing could matter to her now. The light continued to expand while its intensity grew.

Elasha continued to be herself, gazing at and petting the bow in her hands with a pair of dead eyes.

'The First Store is on the other side of the gate. You can reach the store if you enter through it!'

Elasha suddenly had a violent movement in her eyes as she heard the message in her head.

The revival wasn't an impossible task in the Sacred Dimension, but the cost paid for it was so high that even the peak cultivator wouldn't dare to do it unless necessary.

Every life in the Sacred Dimension was Immortal, so reviving an Immortal life didn't come at a low cost.

There were only two peak cultivators in the Moon Elf race, while the highest cultivator in the Sacred Dimension was only an early Supreme God.

(A/N: The peak cultivators in the Sacred Dimension would be few in number, not like the Primal Dimension, where even one top organization had millions of Immortals.)

The head of the Moon Elf or the second peak cultivator would never revive Elasha's husband. Even though he died after fulfilling a significant deed for the race, it was still nothing compared to the price the peak cultivators would have to pay if they wanted to revive him.

Only if Elasha's husband had saved the Moon Elves from extinction would his contribution be valuable enough for the two peak cultivators to pay the price.

Elasha turned around after hearing the message to see the storefront projected there in all its splendor.

'The store owner would surely be able to revive him!' As she recalled the store owner, Elasha had a thought in her heart. A hint of light appeared in those dead eyes after the thought.

However, as soon as she remembered the indifferent nature of the store owner, the fleeting hope that had briefly appeared in those eyes faded once more. The store owner would never help her revive her husband, even if she paid him, let alone in the present case, where she couldn't afford to pay the price.

'Even if the store owner doesn't help you, the store can help you become strong enough to revive him,' Elasha had another thought as many faces of cultivators who weren't even eligible to reach Void Forging level, but had reached Immortality, flashed past her eyes.

'Yes, only you can help yourself!' Confidence rose in her heart.

She had personally experienced the benefits of Panagea and the training area in the store. They could help her reach a level where she would either be strong enough to resurrect her husband or would be able to pay the price to other cultivators to revive him.

Elasha, who had been living like a dead person for the past several days, woke up for the first time as she thought of the store and its products.

It wasn't easy for her to stand back up after the shock in only a few moments, but such was the effect the store played on its customers. Since the store arrived in the Primal Dimension, it had changed many destinies. Elasha was also one of them.

Elasha was already a peak Immortal when Lenna found out about the store and told her. But at that time, she was one of the many Immortals in the Primal Dimension.

But when Elasha ascended, her strength was second to none in the Primal Dimension. Some could stand with her at that level, but none could defeat her.

Only several centuries in the store took her to the one from many of the Immortals. It was behind Elasha having enough confidence in the store.

Elasha's back straightened up as she took one last look at the bow in her hands. She stroked it one last time and then put it in her space ring.

"I will see you the day he holds it!" Elasha muttered with a determined voice. Her voice was rough and hoarse since she hadn't spoken for several days and had only cried.

Elasha then looked around the room, only to see items left by her husband spread across the room. She placed them one by one in his space ring while muttering the same sentence after every item.

The projection stayed intact in the room as there was no time limit to its existence.

Since Elasha was going to the store, she needed to have enough wealth to sustain herself. The resources sent by the Moonlight Elves were enough for her to use for years, so money wasn't an issue.

Due to the tragic news, she had shut herself in the room and hadn't talked with any other members, so she didn't have a good relationship with anyone.

Since there was nothing else left for her to do, Elasha decided to step through the projection.

As if the projection was waiting for Elasha to make up her mind, a new message flashed in her head.

'The distance between you and the store is beyond the teleportation limit. You will appear at the edge of the limit, and you will have to travel on your own from that point.'

Elasha's raised foot hadn't even fallen to the ground when she froze. The next moment, a wry smile appeared on her face since things had gone entirely different than she had hoped for a moment earlier.

Time flew by, and the projection in the room began to disintegrate.

Elasha decided against going through the projection and then traveling from that point on her own.

It was extremely dangerous since she was only an early Divine Transformation level cultivator.

Soon after the projection disintegrated, two new messages appeared in her head.

'Planet Curiel, The Fawkes Kingdom, Thorr City, Seventeenth Street!'

'42,871,017,128,973,982,827 light years from your current location!'

Elasha thanked her for her judgment in deciding against traveling on her own after learning the distance between her and the store.

Elasha needed other ways to reach the store; if she took off on her own, she didn't even dare imagine how much wealth it would cost and how much time it would take to gather that wealth.

A plan began to form in Elasha's head as she thought about how to travel to the store.
