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

"What?!"

"Is this a recruitment drive or a robbery?!"

"Titan Elder, your evaluation standards are way too outrageous! If you go through with this, no one's going to join!"

"One million advanced mana crystals?! That's not something any of those folks down there can afford!"

Lilith could hardly believe her ears.

Was this even a recruitment exam anymore? What kind of lunatic would come up with something like that?

"I'll pay extra."

"And what's more, if anyone manages to get in through this method, even if they're a complete loser—I'll still accept them into Titan Tower!"

Seeing Lilith's strong reaction, Velen decided to go all in and revealed his trump card.

"Titan Elder, this isn't about the money. If we go through with this, then—"

Before she could finish, Velen interrupted her calmly:

"One Stellar Core mine."

"…One Stellar Core mine?"

Lilith's resolve began to waver.

Coming from Velen, a "mine" wasn't just some tiny operation—it meant an astronomical fortune.

"And a barrel of Star Essence."

Seeing her hesitate, Velen added more chips to the table.

"…The barrel you speak of—is it a standard-sized one?" Lilith asked, eyes narrowing with suspicion.

"Er… not exactly standard," Velen replied, caught off guard by the question.

"In that case—Titan Elder, your recruitment method is absolutely worth trying!"

"As for the other seven elders, I'll explain it to them myself."

Upon confirming that the barrel wasn't a full standard, Lilith didn't hesitate anymore and agreed on the spot.

"Great. If there's nothing else, I'll return to Titan Tower. Anyone who qualifies—just send them over."

With that, Velen turned and left. He had no interest in personally managing the affair.

If he had time to waste here, he'd rather spend it studying today's special item and figuring out new ways to splurge and flaunt his wealth.

After all, he'd only managed to stockpile three bottles of Stellar Potion so far. With just fourteen days left before his full transition to the upper plane universe, he needed to hoard as much as possible so he could show off like a proper tycoon when the time came.

"System, have Redhair, Etenny, and Boulderfoot bring those three Star Emperors to Titan Tower."

On the way back to the tower, Velen suddenly remembered the three lunatics still playing around outside and immediately issued a command.

Meanwhile, Lilith took out her transmission crystal and informed the other eight elders of the situation.

Elsewhere…

"Absurd! Completely absurd!"

"Using the offering of one million advanced mana crystals as a recruitment benchmark? That's outright robbery!"

"Forget the average mages—even rich nobles would never burn money like this!"

Upon hearing the news, the Void Elder erupted in fury and immediately flew toward Titan Tower.

He had to stop Velen. This was no longer a mere issue of recruitment—it was about the centuries-long reputation of Endless Sanctuary!

Six of the seven remaining elders, excluding the Amethyst Elder, also rushed over with seething anger.

As guardians of the Sanctuary, they held its reputation dearer than life itself.

Inside Amethyst Tower

"Those seven old geezers must've gone rushing off to Titan Tower by now…"

The Amethyst Elder sighed softly.

It wasn't that he didn't want to go—it's just that he knew it was pointless.

After all, how do you reason with someone extravagant enough to weave a stairway out of a million stalks of Phantom Moon Orchid?

No one could stop him once he set his mind on something.

Top of Titan Tower

"Have them release their Star Emperor aura," Velen ordered coldly, "and then… treat them with your own special methods."

"Anyone who dares disrupt the Endless Sanctuary's ceremony—just killing them is too merciful."

As he spoke, the three Star Emperors were dragged forward in chains.

If not for his presence, the sanctuary would've stood no chance against these six-star monsters.

To Velen, there was no such thing as mercy when it came to enemies.

Soon, blood-curdling screams echoed from within his residence.

"Stop!"

"That's Star Emperor level 9 aura—and three of them!"

The Void Elder immediately motioned for the others to halt in midair.

"Three Star Emperors?! What are they doing inside Titan Elder's residence?" asked the Jade Ghost Elder, face grim.

"I don't know… but those screams are definitely… not normal."

"All of us—suppress our presence and move in quietly. We need to investigate first."

The seven elders stealthily crept toward Velen's private chamber.

And then they saw it.

A seemingly innocent little girl, sweet and adorable, was shattering the bones of an elderly Star Emperor with her delicate fists.

The one-eyed redhead, gleeful as a butcher, was slicing a fat Star Emperor into thin meat sheets like a deli master.

The bald-headed hulk, using nothing but a cloth-wrapped foot, was stomping a female Star Emperor into bloody paste.

It was… hell.

A scene straight from a nightmare.

Within three seconds, all seven elders turned pale with fear and fled in terror.

To hell with persuading him!

To hell with the sanctuary's reputation!

They had all suspected Velen was no ordinary noble, but never in their worst nightmares did they expect his personal guards to be this terrifying.

Star Emperors—among the top of the power pyramid—were being reduced to pulp like common bugs.

What horrified them even more was Velen's reaction: not only was he not disturbed by the slaughter, he was cheering them on with excited shouts.

What kind of noble… did that?!

—

"Huff… huff…"

Down at the base of Titan Tower, the elders gasped for air, drenched in cold sweat.

One by one, they contacted Lilith, trembling as they made their stance clear:

They didn't want the Stellar Core mine.

They didn't want a single drop of Star Essence.

As long as Velen was happy… they would fully cooperate.

No pay required.

Just… let them live.

Top of Titan Tower

"Redhair! The seven elders ran off terrified. Why didn't you report it?"

"What? Didn't you see I was busy slicing meat here?"

"Don't look at me, I'm in the middle of stomping puddles!"

"Well I'm not saying anything either—this old guy's bones make the most satisfying crack!"

The three of them, fully synchronized, chose to completely ignore this "insignificant" side event.

"Rabbit!"

"What happened to you?! I was only gone a day—what the hell happened?!"

Velen finally noticed the mangy, bald rabbit that had once been so fluffy.

The rabbit's eyes brimmed with tears as he wailed:

"Master! That crazy one-eyed man chased me around with a blade all day! My beautiful fur is gone!"

"What?!"

"He chased you around for a day?"

"Why would he do that?"

Velen was baffled.

"He said time in the lower plane universe is running out—and that he had to turn me into the number one rabbit in the universe before we left!"

"Master, please judge for yourself! I'm the only one in the entire fortress who's comprehended the Power of Law—even if I don't train, I'm already number one! He was clearly just torturing me!"

The rabbit fumed with righteous indignation.

"…Did you grow stronger?"

Velen asked directly, piercing to the heart of the matter.

"…I think… I did?"

"Not just from the Invincible Upgrade Potion. I've gained a deeper understanding of Law too."

The rabbit tilted his head and confessed with a little honesty.

"???"

So now you're bald and stronger?

First the Bald Arcane Deity, and now the Mangy Rabbit Champion?

Velen blinked, then burst into laughter.

"Looks like handing you over to Redhair was the right call!"

He looked at the rabbit with anticipation.

"You'll be the #1 rabbit in the lower plane, and then the #1 rabbit in the upper plane! I want you to become the greatest rabbit in all existence!"

The rabbit's eyes went wide.

I'm doomed!

My entire rabbit life… just went dark!

He had thought that reaching the upper plane would mean he could finally enjoy a peaceful life.

But now he realized it was just the start of a new nightmare.

The thought of enduring more of the one-eyed maniac's "training" left him devastated.

"My fuuur!!!"

Velen, unmoved by the rabbit's heartbreak, turned his attention to today's special item:

Today's Special Item: 10,000 units of Magical Rainbow Gold

Magical Rainbow Gold – A rare upper plane mineral that blocks mental detection. Can be used as a core in constructing magic arrays.

"…That's it?"

Velen stared at the brief description, puzzled.

"Blocks mental detection… How am I supposed to waste this stuff properly?"

He fell into deep thought.

…

"Got it!"

"But I'll need help from the other elders to pull this off."

Finally, after much contemplation, Velen came up with a new wild plan.
