All this was happening during the time Krune and the rest were working on condensing the Realm Ability. Once Heavin sent the Soul Trading Hub away, he collected all the keys it had ejected and began distributing them to the various Gods of the Kun Realm Cluster.

Once all the realms obtained at least one Key, Soulura would be able to give them more keys through that channel whenever more Gods were birthed in their world. Moreover, if a God were to die, she was also capable of rendering the respective key useless in an instant.

This ensured the Soul Trading Hub would never be abused.

And as the identities of everyone in the Soul Trading Hub were protected, this layer of anonymity would make anyone wishing to invade other realms hesitate.

After all, the number of anonymous entities in the Soul Trading Hub was a direct indicator of the number of Gods present in the Greater Universe. Upon seeing their sheer numbers, even the Mong Realm might not be so daring anymore.

After all, there was now the means to allow even weaker realms to grow strong at a faster pace. As long as they played their cards right, even weaker realms would quickly become strong.

"What is this?" A God that was traveling through the void muttered in suspicion upon seeing a key floating towards him.

He used his Divine Sense to probe it, frowning upon seeing that his Divine Sense couldn't even sense it. He then thought for a moment, using his Mental Energy to see that he was able to make contact with the key.

Immediately after, the key shone with a mild radiance, splitting a part of his soul, resulting in the split soul arriving in a mysterious space.

"Where is this place?" The God grunted in pain upon his soul getting split like this. But, when he wished to exit, the split soul re-joined with the rest, leaving behind no traces or side effects.

After some thought, he entered the mysterious space once again, looking around to see a vast stretch of emptiness. He also noticed that he wasn't able to use any abilities here, only remaining in his soul form.

After a couple of seconds, he suddenly noticed a stream of information gushing into him through the split soul, allowing him to understand the nature of the place. "The Soul Trading Hub?"

As he pondered about the information, another split soul arrived.

He noticed how he was unable to determine the gender, size, character, voice, or anything else regarding the other party. It resembled a hazy mist that was somewhat condensed into a humanoid.

Thanks to this, the identities of everyone remained anonymous.

He approached the other party, asking, "Do you have a God Stone?"

"I do." As this was the first time for the other party, they were just cautious and unaware of everything, thinking of taking out a God Stone when a God Stone disappeared from their spatial ring in reality and hovered before them in the Soul Trading Hub.

It was a Rank 1 God Stone, and the moment it appeared, it glimmered with weak light.

Similarly, he also brought out a Rank 1 God Stone, noticing that the glimmering light between the both was more or less the same. And with that, he brought out a hundred Rank 1 God Stones, exchanging with the hundred Rank 1 God Stones of the other party, signaling the end of the Soul Trading Hub's first transaction.

When he arrived at reality, he only had 99 Rank 1 God Stones with him, realizing that this was the tax imposed upon the goods transacted here.

However, he could feel that the power structure of these God Stones was different from his own, understanding that he had indeed transacted with a foreign Realm that who knows where it was situated.

After all, he was unable to recognize this power system.

Gradually, the number of figures in the Soul Trading Hub began to increase one after another as discussions gradually sparked.

One of the figures began to peddle some goods immediately, and eventually, the market bustled. After all, it was a whole new place that had a legitimate advantage in transmitting resources through insane distance in an instant.

And best of all, the tax of one percent was nothing compared to the travel costs that were incurred by the realms to transport the resources they had pillaged.

Typically, it was called a successful invasion if they had a profit margin of forty percent. Anything more, and it was known as a lucrative effort.

And only invading the Tilk Realm guaranteed such high returns. This was why it was invaded throughout history by multiple realms.

The Gods traveling through the Greater Universe for a variety of factors were the first to appear in the Soul Trading Hub. And through them, keys were transmitted to the Gods from their home realm.

Of course, it was all perfectly managed by Soulura.

Gradually, the keys made their way to multiple realms, continuing to spread across the Greater Universe like wildfire.

Eventually, the Garg Realm Champion also obtained it when one of his Gods traveling through the Greater Universe as a scout obtained the key.

And with that, he too arrived at the Soul Trading Hub, looking around as he thought, 'This changes things a lot. Did the Greater Universe conceive this to keep up with the times?'

'After all, this might probably be the first time four Greater Realms have made an appearance. In the era before this, there only existed three Greater Realms after all,' he thought, looking around curiously as he probed through the place, surprised to see that his split soul didn't experience any changes even though his figure in reality had activated his Champion state.

'So, this is indeed a safe haven for the transaction of goods.' He nodded, feeling mildly worried. 'This might bridge the gap between us and the weaker realms a little.'

But immediately after that, he smiled, 'But, we have the greatest resources at the moment. So, we can use that to transact with exotic resources available in realms that are too far away to invade while keeping profit into account.'

'This means' He smiled. 'My realm would become even stronger as long as we take advantage of this place.'
