The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

Chapter 237 End Town

Soon, Kade began to explain the division of the Abyss.

The Abyss is divided into four layers: Boundary Layer, Central Layer, Purgatory Layer, and Core Layer.

Maximus and Skye were in the Purgatory Layer, the first line of defense against the Abyss Core layer.

Here, there are over three thousand outposts like the End Town.

Furthermore, Ten Apex sovereigns from each continent were in charge of the Purgatory layer.

Making Sovereign Axel one of the thirty apex sovereign leaders of the purgatory layer.

While they were talking, he had his system scan Kade and copied his domain and special physique.

[Kade: Tier 8

Abyssal Blood Law: 30%

Domain: Abyss Blood 

Physique: Blood of the Abyss (Unawakened)]

The Blood of the Abyss is a heaven-level physique that makes one highly adaptable to the Abyss.

The thick, devouring aura of the abyss for this physique is like highly concentrated mana.

It also grants the owner of the physique devouring capabilities like the abyss monsters.

Looking at Kade's path and physique, Maximus concluded that he was born in the Abyss Realm.

Most people without hope of returning to the Etherium Realm chose to settle here and thrive.

However, looking at Kade's strength, he should have been willing to stay here.

"How about it? Do you have any questions?" Kade asked.

"Hmm, where do we stay here?" Maximus asked.

"The place to stay? We have different properties here for you to choose from."

"However, most of them cost Crystal Merits."

"As a newcomer, you should have none of them. But you should be able to stay in the outpost dormitory," Kade explained.

In End Town or any other outpost, the currency used is Crystal Merits.

Merits are the crystallized, purified abyssal energy converted by the world's origin.

This crystal merit is acquired after killing an abyss monster or making a significant contribution.

"I see, thank you," Maximus said politely.

...

After Kade left, Maximus and Skye began to discuss their next move.

"Should we first earn Crystal Merits or stay here first?" Skye asked.

"We earn Crystal Merits first," Maximus decided.

"So we kill Abyss monsters?" Skye said as a fighting intent burned in her eyes.

"Are you stupid? Of course, we exchange resources," Maximus knocked her head.

"Oh~" Skye also forgot that the man before her was super rich.

Fighting and killing were only for barbarians like her who only knew how to fight.

...

Soon, Maximus and Skye circled the town until they found a branch of the Etherium Gold Chamber of Commerce.

Although End Town is less than a thousand kilometers in size, almost all top tier 9 guilds still had a branch here.

Coming inside, they were greeted by the steward.

"Hello, how may I help you?"

"We would like to exchange Crystal Merits," Maximus said.

"This way, sir, ma'am. I'll call our manager after a while." The steward nodded and led them to a private booth.

...

After a few minutes, a man came up to them.

"Hello, I'm Fijin, the manager of this branch."

"Maximus," he introduced.

Skye was too lazy to communicate and ate leisurely.

Fijin didn't mind the lack of words from the two.

In this abyss, you would be in tether tocks all the time.

Still being able to speak and communicate properly is already good.

"I heard that you are here to exchange crystal merits?"

"That's right. Is it possible to exchange Magic crystals for them?"

"Are you newcomers?" Fijin was a little shocked and questioned.

Usually, people who were sent to the boundary layer would go to the central layer after a while.

The people in the center layer who want more challenges can go to the purgatory layer.

Thus, Fijin thought the two were from the central layer who had just moved here.

However, hearing them ask such a clueless question.

Fijin instantly concluded that they were new to the abyss.

"Yes," Maximus said frankly.

Their identity would be revealed sooner or later, so he didn't hide anything.

"Then, I'm sorry to tell you that we can't exchange Crystal Merits for magic crystals here," Fijin apologized.

Although the Etherium Gold Chamber Commerce is said to sell everything, it depends on the type of currency you use.

Magic crystals are just the lowest form of currency for them to circulate low-end goods.

Although they would gladly accept top magic crystals as they possess a trace of law.

They are so rare that Fijin didn't consider whether Maximus would trade with them.

Maximus certainly couldn't just trade top magic crystals.

Even Apex Sovereigns were eager for such a thing.

How could he show that he possessed a large amount of it?

"So what kind of resources or materials do you collect for Crystal Merits?" Maximus nodded in understanding and asked.

"Certainly, we are in the abyss and commission abyss resources and materials."

"However, the lowest material or resources we take is at least 7th tier," Fijin explained.

There are a lot of resources in the purgatory layer of the abyss.

Even the dirt and rocks are at least tier 3.

Furthermore, their main customers are tier 7 students, believers, and beasts from three continents.

Thus, they would be at a loss if they bought low-tier materials.

"Seeing that you are a newcomer, you can exchange Crystal Merits for rare resources in Etherium Realm," Fijin added.

"Is that so..." Maximus fell into thought.

Browsing the myriad world mall, he saw various shops selling abyss materials and resources.

Just taking out these high-tier resources, he could quickly earn crystal merits and be financially free in this world.

Of course, Maximus wouldn't dare to sell it now.

As Fijin said, the two were just newcomers.

Thus, Maximus could only sell rare-tier materials from the Etherium Realm.

Fortunately, whatever he sold was just a matter of tapping his fingers.

"What about these?" Maximus said, taking out a rare-tier 7 material from his storage ring.

"Taaffeite Gemstone? Good stuff!" Fijin muttered excitedly as he carefully inspected the material.

Taaffeite Gemstone is a rare material used for alchemy clothing and accessories.

It can store a vast amount of mana while still being beautiful.

"How much is it?"

"This? About 630,000 crystal merits," Fijin said after a bit of calculation.

"That's fine," Maximus nodded, satisfied with the price.

Although Maximus didn't have much knowledge about crystal merits.

After circling the town earlier, he estimated crystal merits was worth about the same as a dimensional coin.

The price offered by Fijin is about twice what he bought, so he didn't bargain anymore.

Etherium Gold Chamber of Commerce is famous for their fair prices, so he was not worried about being cheated.

After all, being the largest business commerce in the world can't be done without a sufficient reputation.

Soon, Fijin eagerly paid the money, still obsessed with the material he sold.

"Is there another rare material that Lord wants to sell?" Fijin asked excitedly, using a more respectful term for Maximus.

"Of course,"

Maximus was not satisfied with just a mere few hundred thousand.

Isn't that equivalent to a beggar?

Maximus's sense of money had long been destroyed, treating trillions as pocket money.

So, for him, without hearing abbreviations like billions or trillions, he felt that it was too low.

Soon, under the shock of Fijin.

Maximus took out rare resources one after another until this branch of the Etherium Gold Chamber of Commerce ran out of money.

"Lord, we are sorry, we ran out of money," Fijin said with a bit of sadness.

End Town is only a small outpost, housing tens of thousands of people.

The money in their branch was only a few billion crystal merits.

As for wireless banking, it could not work in this kind of environment.

The Abyss is an unpredictable place, full of dangers and chaos.

What a bank needs to thrive is a stable and peaceful place.

They don't even have public long-distance outpost-to-outpost communication.

How could they even set up a bank?

Fijin was just too sad that he couldn't get all the rare materials from Maximus.

This was the first instance of such an occurrence in his career, so he was a little out of touch.

Looking at Maximus, who could seemingly produce unlimited rare materials.

He felt he was merely a beggar before such an existence.

As for entertaining the thought of robbing Maximus, it didn't even cross his mind.

Besides the strict contracts and vows.

Each Etherium Gold Chamber of Commerce manager was trained to withstand any temptation.

Even if a fountain of immortality were in front of them, they would merely salivate at such an amazing treasure.

Meanwhile, Maximus was satisfied with the transaction.

This time, he managed to rack up over seven billion crystal merits.

This is only worth about seven quadrillion in magic crystals.

So he didn't worry that he was too high-profile.

It's just that he was disappointed that there was so little money in the shop.

"By the way, when would you replenish your treasury so I know when to come back?"

"This-" Fijin's lips couldn't help but twitch hearing such a question.

On the side, Skye just rolled her eyes at Maximus's willfulness.

"Ahem, the annual exchange is in three months; the Etherium Gold Chamber of Commerce Abyss headquarters should replenish our supply by then," Fijin explained.

"Annual exchange?" Maximus asked, unfamiliar with the event.
