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

So many Stellar Cores!

What to do?!

So tempting!

But to blatantly say she wanted them? That was far too embarrassing!

She had just declared that no trading would be allowed, and now she'd be slapping herself in the face with her own words. Lilith was mortified.

Never in her wildest dreams had she expected the other party to take out an entire mountain of Stellar Cores.

"…Since that's the case, I won't insist any further."

"Please return my spatial ring, Temple Master. I'll take my leave now. I'm sure other organizations would be willing to make this deal."

"For instance, the one right next door to Endless Sanctuary. I bet they'd be happy to offer me a spot."

What?!

You're seriously considering taking this to another faction?!

Lilith panicked instantly.

Doesn't he know how to negotiate at all?! Even if we don't sell, that doesn't mean you can just march off and hand it to the neighbors!

Without another word, Lilith grabbed the ring and turned to leave. "Please wait! I'll consult the eight Grand Elders immediately—we'll give you a satisfactory answer!"

"Sigh… Endless Sanctuary really is too poor. A single pile of Stellar Cores is all it takes to buy identity here. Even I can't bear to look."

Velen shook his head.

"Good thing I'm investigating under a hidden identity. I only have fifteen days left, but I must improve the financial state of Endless Sanctuary before my mentor arrives."

"If I don't, she'll be completely unprepared for the impoverished conditions of life in this place."

As Lilith hurried away, Velen felt a sudden thrill of purpose. These fifteen days… were going to be busy—and delightfully so.

If he wanted Anastasia to have an easier time when she entered the Upper Plane Universe, Velen felt it was his duty to lay some groundwork for her.

"System, now that my Luxury Points are zero and my strength is only temporarily boosted—what happens if I continue spending lavishly? Will I still get rewards?"

Velen asked out of curiosity, simply to pass the time.

Ding!

"Host's actions of extravagant spending and flaunting wealth will still generate Luxury Points and special rewards as normal!"

Ding!

"To avoid recursive systems, the method of breaking through has been changed."

"What? Then how do I break through now?!" Velen was stunned.

Ding!

"Host will no longer use Luxury Points to advance strength. Instead, breakthrough opportunities will now appear in the form of Stellar Potions, given as part of lavish spending rewards, mission rewards, and daily consumable item rewards."

"Each Stellar Potion consumed increases the host's level by one. Even at the highest level of the current plane, one Stellar Potion allows a breakthrough to Tier-1!"

Ding!

"Reminder: Stellar Potions are rewarded based on probability!"

Ooh!

As he listened to the explanation, Velen's eyes lit up!

He had to admit, this new breakthrough system was fresh and exciting.

Compared to saving up Luxury Points like some pitiful miser just to advance a single level, this was way more fun and dynamic!

"System, since Luxury Points are no longer needed to upgrade strength, what are they good for besides spinning those various roulettes?"

Velen continued to probe.

Ding!

"They are basically useless. However, to allow the host to enjoy even more amusement, future lavish spending gestures—including 'service fees,' 'bonus fees,' and 'greeting gifts'—will reward the host with items from the roulette wheel."

"Because these are personal items obtained through the host's own expenditure of Luxury Points, there is no upper limit to how much you can spend. As long as it meets the criteria for extravagant behavior, the system will grant rewards!"

Nice!

This rule—he liked it!

In the Lower Plane Universe, the system often limited whether something counted as "extravagant spending." It had to be either too little to count or far too much and wasteful.

The intention was good—protecting Velen from being taken advantage of. But over time, it made him feel… restricted. Especially when he wanted to be generous with his own people. Why not give more?

Now, with this added functionality, everything felt so much better.

If he wanted to recklessly spend, he'd use his own private items. If he wanted to be rational, he'd use system-issued ones.

Ding!

"Reminder: The system has also undergone multiple optimizations and has added several auxiliary functions. The host may explore them at leisure."

The system's voice sounded once again.

New auxiliary functions?

"System, I hereby name you the Strongest System!"

Velen gave the system the highest praise.

It really was too thoughtful!

Void Tower

"Temple Master, you've urgently summoned the eight Grand Elders—is Endless Sanctuary facing a crisis?"

Void Elder asked with a solemn expression.

"Have the surrounding factions perhaps allied and launched an attack on us?" Amethyst Elder also looked grim.

The eight Grand Elders all stared at Lilith anxiously, concern written all over their faces.

…Ugh.

Faced with the eight elders' eager expressions, Lilith found herself at a loss for words.

How was she supposed to tell them that someone wanted to buy a Grand Elder position with money?

She exhaled deeply and looked up. "Fellow elders, Endless Sanctuary may soon welcome a ninth Grand Elder."

"I believe this is a major decision, and I've come to discuss it with you all."

"What?!"

"A ninth Grand Elder?!"

"Did I hear that right?"

Their faces lit up with joy.

A new Grand Elder meant Endless Sanctuary's overall strength was about to climb to the next level!

"Temple Master," Void Elder asked eagerly, "what's this person's strength? Their character? Any special talents? Why do you think they're worthy of being the ninth Grand Elder?"

The others leaned in, equally curious.

For someone to be deemed worthy of Grand Elder status by Lilith herself—surely they possessed some unique trait.

What they didn't expect was that Velen's "talent" was… being rich.

"Strength: Stellar Rank, Level One."

"Character: Unknown for now."

"As for talents… does extravagant spending count?"

"As for why I believe in him—"

Lilith hadn't even finished when Amethyst Elder cut her off.

"Temple Master, this is nonsense!"

"Indeed! What qualifications does that guy have to become a Grand Elder? That would disgrace the Sanctuary!"

"Exactly! Only Stellar Rank One? That's garbage! I could sneeze and kill someone like that. How is he qualified?"

"Not to mention, you know nothing about his character. What if he's an irredeemable criminal? He could bring catastrophic damage to Endless Sanctuary!"

"And talent—how the hell does 'spending money' count as a—"

BOOM!

Before Amethyst Elder could finish, Lilith suddenly pulled out the terrifying mountain of Stellar Cores from her spatial ring!

…???

"HOLY SH*T!"

"By the gods above!"

"That's a Stellar Core Mountain!"

The eight Grand Elders nearly popped their eyeballs out of their sockets.

Where the hell did she pull out a mountain like that from?!

Had someone started a mining operation in their backyard and forgot to inform them?!

No exaggeration—it was safe to say that all eight elders, with nearly ten thousand years of combined accumulation, still didn't have as much wealth as this one mountain!

"That individual offered to buy the Saint position and Grand Elder status using this Stellar Core Mountain," Lilith said calmly. "I couldn't find a reason to refuse, so I came to consult you all."

"After all, even in the Upper Plane Universe, this is practically unheard of."

The elders stared at her, mouths agape.

"Sell it! Sell it! SELL IT!!"

"What's the question here?! That mountain alone could buy the entire Endless Sanctuary!"

"Lilith, this ring alone could purchase all our territory and assets twice over! And he only wants two titles in return? Why wouldn't we sell?!"

"Tell him it's a deal—make the exchange fast! Before something ruins this perfect transaction!"

Void Elder immediately voiced his enthusiastic approval.
