Summary
Highlights
Gu Fan, a transmigrator, activates the 'God-Eater's Body' and an 'Auction 10,000 times return system' just as he faces danger. The system allows him to gain 10-50 times, eventually up to 10,000 times, the value of auctioned items, which also aids his cultivation. He learns that his body can devour anything for unlimited strength and growth. He decides to use his newly acquired system to awaken his divine body and avenge his parents.
Gu Fan, despite being dismissed as a loser, demands an immediate auction, defying Butler Zhu. He personally offers a third-grade elixir for sale. The auction is a success, returning him a seventh-rank elixir and immediately advancing his cultivation through multiple realms up to Crystallization. This causes a mysterious thunder, hinting at his awakened power.
Despite selling seemingly low-quality items, Gu Fan continues to gain powerful returns from the system, rapidly increasing his cultivation levels. This challenges the expectations of the local powers and creates unrest among the other auctioneers. He cleverly uses a 'rusty gun' as a trap to filter out those who lack faith, before unveiling a fourth-ranked artifact: the Fire Dragon Gun, proving his strength and strategic mind.
Gu Fan’s first successful auction leads to system upgrades, increasing his daily return capacity and multiplier. He takes control of the auction house by eliminating Butler Zhu, revealing his true strength as a Crystallization Realm practitioner. He then implements a drastic strategy: reducing commission to 1% to monopolize the market and aggressively expand, attracting more high-value items.
Gu Fan's strategy causes other auction houses to struggle, and he uses the opportunity to loot them for treasures. His successful auctions and rapid growth lead him to the inner city, where he takes over the Gu family's auction house, defying his family's elders. He announces a special auction with a rumored sixth-ranked treasure, attracting powerful figures, and confronts a Gu family elder, establishing his dominance.
Gu Fan breaks through to the YuanYing realm after accumulating immense treasures. His success in the inner city earns him a special reward from the system: a 'Highest Multiplier Card' and additional 'Second Return Privilege'. This rapid rise to power catches the attention of the Yan family and other factions, who attempt to steal his treasures, leading to confrontations where Gu Fan demonstrates his superior strength and acquires YuanYing-level slaves.
Having reached the peak of YuanYing, Gu Fan decides to return to the Gu family to settle old scores and save his grandfather. He easily dispatches the guards and confronts the elders and Gu Changge, demanding they all face him. He defeats Gu Changge and the elders, revealing his immense power and the unfair treatment he received from the family, ultimately wiping them out and finding his grandfather near death.
Gu Fan's victory brings him face-to-face with Prince Wei Wushuang, who reveals the Gu family's plot for rebellion and the Wei Dynasty's long-standing interest in Gu Fan's God Devouring Body. Wei Wushuang attempts to recruit Gu Fan to assassinate his own father, the Emperor, but Gu Fan refuses, vowing to kill the Emperor himself. Princess Wuyue, Gu Fan's former fiancee, intervenes to protect him.
Gu Fan uses Princess Wuyue's name to organize a massive auction in King City, defying Wei Wushuang’s attempts to sabotage it. He puts up multiple seventh-grade treasures, attracting massive bids and showcasing the immense power of his auction system. Wei Wushuang's forces attempt to intervene, but Gu Fan, utilizing his 'Invincible Golden Body' special reward, deflects their attacks and defeats powerful figures, including those from the Shengtian Sect, cementing his status and preparing to confront the Emperor.
