The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

Chapter 254 Shadow Hunter Pavillion

Half a year later, with the annual exchange event beginning, beings from all over Purgatory poured into Purgatory City.

Upon arriving in the city, the veterans suddenly spotted a new shop.

"Shadow Hunter Pavilion?"

"What kind of is this?"

"Maybe it's an individual shop?"

"Impossible. Look at the shop's exterior; it's comparable to the top guilds."

The crowd discussed as they approached the shop.

"It should be a low-level shop. Look, it doesn't even have a steward," a man said, noticing that no one was greeting them.

"Maybe the shop is still closed."

"No, look, there is a person in front," a man said, seeing Maximus.

"Then let's go. What's this shop selling?"

Inside, it didn't look like much.

Besides a grand interior, there wasn't even anything for sale.

They wondered if this was a service shop or something.

"Hello, are you the shopkeeper here?"

"Yes, I'm the owner and the shopkeeper of the Shadow Hunter Pavilion," Maximus casually nodded.

After attaining a vanquisher status, he immediately took Skye back to Purgatory City and built this shop.

Unfortunately, there wasn't much traffic as the annual exchange event was still a few months away.

Maximus and Skye could only return to the Eternal Ruin Outpost to collect more Origin Abyss sources.

However, Maximus grew somewhat lazy after earning a massive harvest in one battle.

After all, the effort of one battle was more profitable than a decade of relentless searching.

Maximus could just wait for a big battle and have another harvest.

Of course, such a disaster could barely happen each century, so Maximus still needed to hunt from time to time.

Fortunately, there is a shop where he can have another major source of Abyss sources.

"Shopkeeper, what service does your shop provide?" a man asked.

"This is a commissioning shop."

"You can buy everything from us using Shadow coins."

"Shadow coins?"

"Shadow coins are the currency of the shop that you will get when you have something that the shop wants," Maximus explained.

The crowd listening to Maximus's explanation was shocked.

"So arrogant?"

"Who in their right mind would implement a new currency just for a shop?"

"Can this shop really have anything I want?"

"Are there other ways you can earn Shadow coins?"

"Shopkeeper, how can you guarantee that you will be able to have what we want?"

The crowd grew into a commotion as they jeered and asked Maximus questions one after another.

"First, Shadow coins can only be used in the shop, so just imagine that it was guild contribution points."

"Second, yes, this shop sells everything you want."

"From the Etherium realm to the Abyss, as long as you know it, we have it."

"As for the other way to earn Shadow coins, there should be in the future," Maximus said after thinking.

Now, he only wanted Abyss sources, so he couldn't think of anything for their people to do.

After his guild came here and set up an outpost, there should be many ways for them to earn Shadow coins.

"And lastly, about how can I guarantee that I have everything you wanted."

"You can look at the product first before initiating the transaction."

After his explanation, some grew excited, and some grew doubtful.

However, most of them thought that Maximus was bragging.

If it's true, how could the shopkeeper still talk to them casually?

The Apex Sovereigns should have already robbed him if anything he said was real.

The Abyss realm is a chaotic place.

Without the supervision of the Etherium World's Origin and those ancient Apex Sovereigns who want to better the world.

Those Apex Sovereigns can act wantonly whatever they want.

As long as they do it discreetly, they can still return to the Etherium Realm like nothing happened.

This is also why Maximus was careful in everything.

Fortunately, he already had the strength to fight back, so he didn't worry much.

After hearing the explanation of the Shadow Hunters Pavilion, most of the crowd left, with their curiosity satisfied.

Although they didn't know what Maximus wanted, looking at the luxurious interior, they were definitely not simple.

For a poor bloke like them, just stepping inside was already enough.

For the remaining crowd, they still looked at Maximus to ask what he wanted.

"For now, we only accept Abyss source."

"For Tier 4 Abyss source, it's worth 10,000 Shadow coins."

"For Tier 5 Abyss source, it's worth 100,000 Shadow coins."

"For Tier 6 Abyss source, it's worth 1 million Shadow coins."

"For Tier 7 normal Abyss source, it's worth 1 billion Shadow coins."

"For Tier 7 elite Abyss source, it's worth 100 billion Shadow coins."

"For Tier 7 lord Abyss source, it's worth 1 trillion Shadow coins."

...

Maximus told the prices one by one.

"So expensive..."

The pricing of Maximus made it seem that Shadow coins were a hundred times more valuable than crystal merits.

"How is it? Is there anyone of you who has Abyss source to trade?"

Unfortunately, to his disappointment, most of the crowd left.

What a joke!

If they had this kind of resource, why still stay in this desolate shop?

They would have probably already used it or cashed it through others.

Maximus didn't mind; anyway, he had nothing to do.

All the Abyss sources in the city were already scoured by him.

Just when he was about to get some snacks to pass the time, he noticed that one person was still remaining.

"Oh? What is the name of this gentleman?" Maximus asked curiously.

"I'm Regolius."

"Do you want to exchange anything?"

"Yes, do you have Scarlet Veil Root?" Regolius asked nervously.

Scarlet Veil Root is a Tier 8 plant originating from the Etherium realm.

It's a soul-healing herb but also the most effective in healing blood curses and the like.

"Yes, we have it. It's worth 10,000 Shadow coins."

"Great!" Regolius almost jumped in excitement.

The blood curse had tortured him for almost a century.

Seeing hope, he nearly cried.

"Here is a Tier 4 Abyss source," Regolius readily gave the Abyss source without seeing the actual product.

"Here is the Scarlet Veil Root," Maximus happily said.

Although it was nothing to him, it was his first transaction after all.

"It's Scarlet Veil Root!" Regolius muttered excitedly.

Swallowing the herb, he felt his blood curse begin to dissipate.

Feeling relaxed, he couldn't help but be grateful to Maximus.

"I will come back again!"

Although he didn't know if this shop really had everything.

Regolius still planned to come back and try in the future.

"You're welcome anytime..."

...

After the first transaction, more and more people came to the shop, hearing its reputation.

Whether it's rare Abyss Realm or Etherium Realm resources, the shop really had it all.

Maximus also smiled widely, seeing the business continue to pour in.

Even Skye, who was shopping around the city, was called by him to help.

Although most of the transactions were Tier 4 and 5 Abyss sources, seeing the blooming business was enough.

Maximus knew that these were just the warm-up for the main show.

Most of those who had Tier 7 and above Abyss sources were still watching.

...

Soon after a few days, someone finally took the bait.

In a shop's private room:

"Hello, shopkeeper, I'm Wynn."

"Hello."

"I have a Tier 7 normal abyss source here," Wynn said nervously.

He and his squad nearly died to get this abyss source.

He feared that Maximus would become greedy and directly rob him.

After all, you need at least a vanquisher status to set up a shop.

This is not only a status; it's also proof that the shopkeeper was a strong and ruthless killing machine.

"What do you want to exchange for it?" Maximus asked without changing his face.

"Do you really have everything here?" Wynn asked to confirm.

"Yes, just ask away."

"Then do you have an Abyssolite core?"

"Hmm? Do you plan to set up an outpost?"

An Abyssolite core is the main component of the teleportation array in the Abyss.

Without it, the Abyss aura can destabilize the array and cause problems.

"Do you have it?" Wynn didn't answer and asked nervously.

"Yes, we have it," Maximus nodded.

"Can I see it?"

"Of course, but first, you need to sign this," Maximus said, taking out a piece of paper.

"An Abyssal contract paper?" Wynn muttered.

Regular contracts here wouldn't work as they didn't have the supervision of the Etherium World's Origin.

Thus, a bunch of apex sovereigns formulated a new contract method based on the rules of the Abyss.

However, because it's troublesome to make, it's very expensive.

Maximus only used this for confidentiality.

He didn't care about low-level transactions, but a contract is needed for this one.

Although he had the strength to fight an apex sovereign, he still didn't want to reveal his wealth.

After Wynn read the contract, and saw it was only a confidentiality contract.

He heaved a sigh of relief and quickly signed it.

"Here is the Abyssolite core."

"You really have it!"

"How much is this?!" Wynn grew excited and quickly asked for the price.

"It's a billion Shadow coins."

"So cheap!" Wynn muttered, took out the Tier 7 abyss source in his possession, and traded it to Maximus.

"Nice doing business with you."

"It's my honor," Wynn said.

"Then you are welcome to come again..."
