Reborn with Infinity Money System, I was Worshipped by All Universes!

Hearing Alec's words, Velen fell into a brief silence before speaking.

"Lord Alec, since you've overheard this much, I suppose there's no harm in telling you the rest."

"My mentor was ambushed many years ago. In the end, she preserved her soul with the help of a rare artifact and managed to survive on the Alpha Continent. If everything goes as expected, she'll arrive in the Upper Plane Universe within fifteen days."

Hmm?

Just as he said that, Velen noticed Alec walking straight toward the door. Confused, he asked, "Lord Alec, where are you going?"

"To escort you back to the Endless Sanctuary, of course!"

"I need to report this great news to the Sanctuary Lord immediately!"

"With a background like yours, you don't need to take the entrance examination at all. You can join the Endless Sanctuary directly!"

Alec explained excitedly, nearly bursting with emotion.

"No!"

"I don't want to rely on my mentor's connections. I want to join the Endless Sanctuary with my own strength!"

As he spoke, Velen pulled out ten fist-sized Stellar Cores from his spatial ring and laid them on the table.

???

This is your strength?

Come on, we're all on the same side—was this display really necessary?

Looking at the neat row of Stellar Cores on the table, Alec felt his mind go numb. Even as a candidate for sainthood, he couldn't take out a single one of these, let alone ten!

What was worse was that Velen's mentor was the disciple of the Sanctuary Lord herself—making the Sanctuary Lord his grandmaster! With ties this strong, and still refusing to use them… just for fun?

"…Forget it. Just take me to meet the Sanctuary Lord," Velen finally said with a sigh. "But my identity must remain confidential for now. I want to see whether I can earn the title of 'Saint' in Endless Sanctuary based solely on my abilities."

???

You want to become a Saint?

The three current Saint Candidates were still working their tails off to be promoted—and this guy just walks in and asks for the title directly?

Does he know what being a Saint in Endless Sanctuary entails?

It's the face of the organization! The highest public title beneath the Elders!

You want to become a Saint? Then show your unparalleled magical talent, peerless insight, flawless character, and overwhelming strength!

It's not something money can buy!

Even if you're ridiculously wealthy, just how much can you really have?

Don't tell me you can bring out… ten thousand pieces of Stellar Core?

If the outside world knew Endless Sanctuary was selling its Saint positions, wouldn't that be a complete joke?

Alec couldn't help shaking his head. He wanted to tell Velen that this was nothing but a delusional fantasy.

Three Hours Later

When Alec brought Velen to the Endless Sanctuary, he was immediately greeted by a breathtaking scene—nine towering magic towers shrouded in arcane mist pierced the clouds above, surrounded by countless smaller wizard towers.

Above their heads, magical creatures of all shapes and sizes soared through the skies. The ground beneath them glittered with crystalline Stellites, as if they had stepped into a celestial realm.

"The Upper Plane Universe really is in another league. This is on a whole different level from the Lower Plane," Velen muttered, eyes sparkling with excitement.

Even though he was already awestruck by the spectacle of the Endless Sanctuary, he could tell that this was only the surface—there was still much room for development.

That was perfect.

He, after all, had the spirit of a tycoon.

This place? He was going to remodel it!

"Your Highness Velen," Alec said with a smile, "That tower on the far left is called Void Tower. It's led by one of the Elders and oversees the magical herb gardens. Students who show potential as potion-makers are usually assigned there."

"To its right is the Amethyst Tower, also led by an Elder. It supervises the alchemical workshops, so prospective alchemists are usually sent there."

…

After Alec finished introducing the eight towering structures, Velen asked curiously, "What about the ninth one, on the far right?"

"That one's Nameless Tower."

"Because there isn't a ninth Elder yet. Only Elders have the authority to claim and name a tower."

Alec grinned as he explained.

"One person, one tower…"

Velen's eyes lit up.

"I wonder if the Stellar Cores I have are enough to… buy myself the status of Elder."

As soon as he said that, Velen's interest in the Elder role deepened dramatically.

To own a tower? That would be perfect for housing the members of Fortress.

That nameless tower… it felt like it had been left vacant just for him!

Insane!

Alec, who stood nearby, nearly had a heart attack.

This guy's insane!

It's one thing to think about buying a Saint title, but now he wanted to buy Elder status?!

Does he even know what an Elder is?!

An Elder is a symbol of the pinnacle of strength in Endless Sanctuary.

In fact, even the Sanctuary Lord's decisions could be overturned if more than half of the Elders voted against them.

Every Elder was a pillar of power—the foundational keystones of the entire Sanctuary.

Endless Sanctuary – Main Tower Council Hall

"Who is this?"

A graceful and regal woman gazed down at Alec and Velen from the elevated seat of authority.

"He is…"

Alec began, but before he could finish, Velen interrupted.

"Lord Alec, please leave us. I wish to speak with the Sanctuary Lord privately."

"This…"

Alec hesitated for a moment, but after a brief struggle, he gritted his teeth and turned to leave the council chamber.

Hmm?

The elegant woman, Lilith, was slightly surprised.

A mere Stellar Rank cultivator had just ordered Alec to leave in front of the Sanctuary Lord—and Alec obeyed?

That alone piqued her interest.

It had been far too long since she'd met a young person with such audacity.

"Sanctuary Lord, I wish to become a Saint of the Endless Sanctuary."

As he spoke, Velen tossed her a spatial ring.

"Take whatever amount you deem necessary."

"Oh, and—I'd also like to buy the title of Elder, if possible. Let me know if it's enough."

WHAT?!

Lilith's face darkened instantly.

"Outrageous!"

"What do you take Endless Sanctuary for?"

"Saints and Elders are not for sale!"

"You insult the dignity of this Sanctuary!"

"If you don't give me a satisfactory explanation today… you'll never leave this place alive!"

Lilith thundered, her tone icy and dangerous.

But her curiosity got the better of her. She opened the spatial ring.

And then—

Holy…?!

The next moment, her mind went blank.

Inside the ring was an entire mountain of Stellar Core, towering a thousand meters high, with a radius of five hundred meters.

This was… absurd.

With that much Stellar Core, one could buy the entire Endless Sanctuary ten times over.

What do I do now?

This is just too much. How could anyone possibly refuse such an offer?

Lilith was shaken.

Never in her life had she imagined that an unknown youth could casually hand over this much Stellar Core.

Just how filthy rich was this guy?!

It was terrifying.

"With this much Stellar Core," she thought, "he could probably buy my position as Sanctuary Lord if he wanted to…"

Looking at that radiant mountain of wealth, Lilith felt herself being crushed under the oppressive aura of a genuine profligate tycoon.

This is what it means to be born rich…

Who else but a spendthrift of legendary proportions would do something so utterly deranged?

As for killing him and stealing the goods?

She wouldn't dare even think of it.

Anyone who could casually bring out so much Stellar Core was definitely backed by a force of unimaginable power.

And the way Alec obeyed him—ignoring her authority as Sanctuary Lord—spoke volumes about the young man's mysterious origins.

"Still…"

"With these Stellar Cores, Endless Sanctuary could massively expand its resources and soar in strength."

"But if word got out, people would laugh at us for selling titles."

"But if I refuse... who could reject this much Stellar Core?!"

After wrestling with the decision for a long time, Lilith found no valid reason to say no.

"With this much Stellar Core… I can grant you the title of Saint."

"But I must also tell you—Elder status isn't something I can approve on my own."

"Even if I agree, without the votes of the other eight Elders, it's meaningless."
