Chapter 1072: The Starry Lynx!
"9. Star Map: The Starry Lynx can create a detailed map of the night sky, showing the location of planets, stars, and other celestial bodies."
Gagan focused on the skill with his mouth wide open in shock. A map of the stars was an essential necessity when it came to divining, so the skill was heavenly for any astrologer.
Even though the Astrolings were born to do astrology as their talent was, even they didn't have the skill. Catching the direction and location of each star was an extremely tough task due to the pressure of fate.
Gagan could even use the skill to create Star Maps and then sell them to other astrologers. The skill alone was enough to force Gagan to buy the beast.
The value of the skill could be seen from the jump in the price of the beast from divine to ultimate quality. It was almost a twenty-fold jump.
Gagan finally understood how the store would influence his fate. If he won the taming battle, the Starry Lynx would be like a golden goose to him.
The price for the beast was steep, and it would take a large chunk of Gagan's savings, but he didn't feel anything about the price, and it played no role in his decision.
With a wide smile, Gagan turned around and left the room.
After exiting the room, Gagan immediately proceeded in Aakesh's direction with the beast card tightly grabbed in his right hand.
Gagan had to wait since there was already a customer talking to Aakesh. The waiting was like torture to him, but he controlled himself and silently waited.
Around a few minutes later, his turn finally arrived.
"I want to initiate the taming battle," Gagan requested hurriedly and passed the card to Aakesh.
A hint of pain appeared on his face when Aakesh took the card, and his hand turned empty. Gagan couldn't help but smile at himself for acting such just because of a beast.
Not long after Aakesh did what he needed to do, the card returned to his hands. As soon as he touched the card, he found himself in an unfamiliar setting beneath a starry sky.
Time flew by, and Gagan returned to the store, only to feel shocked at the time flow. He looked at Aakesh with his mouth wide open and asked about the time to make sure it wasn't an illusion.
"Yes, the taming battle happens in a different space-time. No time change occurs in reality," Aakesh replied, making Gagan's jaw almost drop to the ground.

Gagan smiled like a child as his blood bonded with the Starry Lynx in the card. Now, only one more step remained, and the beast would be his.
"You need to pay seven hundred eighty thousand supreme, one higher, eleven hundred eleven ordinary, and one hundred ten lesser Sacred stones," Aakesh announced expressionlessly.
Comparing to the beast, the cost of summoning was nothing since he got the beast of his choice in the seventh round.
After announcing the price, Aakesh introduced the store cards to Gagan, further surprising him. If he had an item with such an ability to travel through space, he would have appeared in the store months ago.
Usually, Sacred Emperors were rich, but since he had not been doing divinity for others, he had lost his source of income, and whatever his savings were, they sustained his cultivation. So making a sale of one ultimate Sacred stone for a card wasn't a decision he could take at that moment.
Gagan was sure to make money from the Star Maps, so he vowed to buy the Ultimate Store Card shortly. It would be the first result of his changing destiny.

The mechanical alert rang inside Gagan's head after the binding with the store card was complete. Gagan didn't waste a single moment and immediately responded positively.
The next moment, there was another alert in his head, informing him of the successful deduction, while Aakesh got the notification of a successful payment.
Aakesh was the owner of the five percent commission; he would have made a large fortune from the sale. But since he had foregone his commission for the next few years due to the temporary space expansion device, he earned nothing.
"The beast is yours to summon," Aakesh informed Gagan after the alert.
The already wide smile on Gagan's face turned wider and he couldn't help but giggle like a child who was excited to see his most-liked toy.
The next moment, Gagan summoned the beast, and soon after, a stunning Starry Lynx appeared in the store.
Its eyes were closed at first. First, its nose moved, smelling the area. When it found the familiar smell of Gagan, it opened its eyes.
Its bright, piercing blue eyes innocently blinked at Gagan. Gagan couldn't control himself and pounced on the creature.
The Starry Lynx didn't dare to dodge; it let Gagan pick it up. It then surveyed the area around it. Its eyes fell on Aakesh.
It immediately moved his eyes away, not daring to look at those eyes. As the Starry Lynx was a creature proficient in reading stars, when it looked at Aakesh, it saw nothing of the sort, as if Aakesh were beyond fate's control.
The creature's reaction surprised Gagan, giving birth to curiosity about Aakesh's identity in his heart. He decided to see if he could divine anything about Aakesh after leaving.
Since there was nothing else left for him to check out in the store, Gagan decided to depart. He would have given Panagea a try, but unfortunately, all the portal spots were filled.
Gagan decided to return to the store in the future after earning enough to buy an ultimate Store Card. And if then, there were spots available; he would enter Panagea.
After Gagan left, Aakesh closed his eyes since there were no approaching customers in sight.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Only a few minutes had passed when Aakesh heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside the store. He opened his eyes and turned in that direction, only to find familiar faces.
It was none other than Judith, who had come earlier, and Aakesh had asked her to bring Ransh to the store because of the stories he was spreading about him.
