350 Merit Hall

Opening the Merits Hall, two tabs greeted Maximus: the Direct Exchange tab and the Auction tab.

Upon opening the Direct Exchange tab, Maximus felt as if he were browsing treasures sold in the Myriad World Mall.

From tier 1 to tier 9, all treasures unique to the Etherium realm could be exchanged.

However, upon seeing the first few items, Maximus felt a little dismissive.

Aside from some rare innate treasures, there was nothing worthy in the exchange.

Opening the selection tab, he noticed a section that made his eyes shine.

"Growth Treasure..."

The Growth Treasure section is filled with treasure that could grow.

However, what he noticed was the expandable treasures.

[Earth Core (Mortal): An expandable treasure needed for a dimension to grow, capable of infinitely expanding with mana. Price: 1 quintillion]

[Steel Core (Mortal): An expandable treasure needed for a dimension to grow, capable of infinitely expanding with mana. Price: 1 quintillion]

[Gold Core (Mortal)...]

[Copper Core (Mortal)...]

[Coal Core (Mortal)...]

[Diamond Core (Mortal)...]

These treasures were expandable materials, like the Atomic God Metal.

With enough mana, they could expand infinitely, forming the foundation of a dimension.

Although the expandable treasures listed in the Merits Hall were only at the mortal level, they were already amazing.

Maximus had just put the expansion of the Curse Continent on the agenda.

These expandable treasures were just right for the job, accelerating his plan significantly.

However, upon seeing the price, he frowned.

A quintillion merit for one—if merit was equivalent to crystal merit, then buying it would be a scam.

With a quintillion crystal merit, he could ask someone to dredge enough land from the chaotic sea to expand the Curse Continent multiple times.

Furthermore, it would be at least tier 3 land, nurtured by mana.

However, just one of these expandable treasures costs the same.

As for buying expandable treasure in the Myriad World Mall, he could only wish.

Having an unlimited mana, he had been searching for expandable treasure everywhere.

Unfortunately, it seemed to be a precious type of treasure that he couldn't even find anything.

Thus, upon seeing that the Etherium World Origin had over a hundred expandable treasures, he couldn't help but be amazed.

He had read in a book that these expandable treasures were the building blocks of dimensions.

It should absorbed by the Etherium realm at its birth.

However, seeing them intact made him curious.

To make the Etherium Realm so large without any complications, just what did Valoros do?

Unfortunately, Valoros' memories about the merging of the Etherium Realm were vague.

It seemed as if they had been consciously erased.

Maximus even needed to buy countless relevant books to decipher some of the relevant memories.

Turning his gaze to over a hundred expandable treasures, Maximus gritted his teeth and decisively bought them.

Anyway, he had over 1 sextillion merit out of nowhere; spending it at once didn't make his heart ache much.

Furthermore, his ambition was not confined to the Etherium realm.

In the future, once he needed more land, he would spend money nonetheless.

It was better to prepare early and not worry later.

Seeing over ah hundred quintillions removed from his balance, Maximus continued to browse the merit hall.

The Apex Sovereign in the room also sat in silence, waiting for Maximus to digest the benefits of joining the Etherium Alliance.

In the past, after they joined the alliance, they were also stunned.

Browsing every item in the Merits Hall, if it were not for the lack of merits, they would have bought all the items in it.

Seeing Maximus's eager face, it seemed that he was reaping a lot of benefits.

Soon, Maximus came to the section of small worlds.

Small worlds were pockets of space caused by dimensional movement frictions.

Looking at billions of small worlds listed in the Merits hall, Maximus nearly cursed.

No wonder small worlds were so rare; this unscrupulous World Origin had collected them for itself.

After over hundred of years of traveling across the Chaotic Sea, the guild didn't even find one small world.

One could only buy them at those top guilds owned by some Apex Sovereigns.

Not only could the World Origin earn money, but even those Apex Sovereigns could profit by reselling these small worlds.

As for buying small worlds in the Myriad World Mall, it couldn't be done.

The dimensional laws prevented any small world that was not born from its laws.

Even if Maximus bought it, it would be treated as a virus to be destroyed by the dimensional laws.

Of course, if a small world had complete laws and was strong enough, it could withstand the dimensional laws.

Unfortunately, there was no such thing for sale; even if there were, Maximus doubted if he could afford it.

A small world with complete laws was already equivalent to a small dimension.

Of course, Maximus had another alternative.

If Maximus isolated the small world in his storage dimension, the small world wouldn't be destroyed, no matter which dimension he was in.

Looking at the billions of small worlds, Maximus applied a filter, showing only tier 7 to tier 9 small worlds.

For tier 9 small worlds, there were only three available:

[Latis World: A small world with complete lunar law and a hint of space law. Price: 100 quintillion]

[Insect Beast World: A mutated insect small world. Price: 300 quintillion]

[White World: An absolute still world; all matters and laws that didn't surpass the world would be at paused. Price: 700 quintillion]

"So expensive."

Small worlds are divided into three categories: comprehension-

type worlds, resource-type worlds, and special-type worlds.

Comprehension-type worlds are filled with law energy, making it easier for individuals to comprehend an specific law.

Resource-type worlds, on the other hand, are filled with resources, such as minerals, plants, biological, etc.

Special-type worlds have specific functions, like his timeless world, which can accelerate and slow down time.

What caught Maximus's eye was the White World.

Absolute stillness, meaning everything is at a standstill.

No matter what you put in it, it would behave as if stuck in time.

This may be useless for others, but for him, it's a game-

changer.

His timeless world could only slow down time to a huge degree.

Studying matter that exceeds the speed of light is of no use, even if it is slowed down a few billion times.

Furthermore, some substances behave differently as time passes.

However, if it were still or in a paused state, it would be constant without change in its properties, making it convenient for observation.

However, looking at the price, Maximus's heart started to ache.

700 quintillion? This was the most expensive single item he had ever seen.

Although he could spend sextillions of dimensional coins, it's not for individual items.

Shelving the idea of buying the White World, he browsed the lower-tier small worlds.

There were hundreds of tier 8 small worlds.

From comprehension-type worlds to special-type worlds, unfortunately, they were not too rare.

The laws, resources, and function of these small worlds were too common.

Other Apex Sovereigns must have bought the other rare small worlds.

As for tier 7 small worlds, there were tens of thousands of them.

Furthermore, unlike tier 8 small worlds, the selection was complete.

From a complete selection of comprehension-type worlds to some rare special-type worlds.

Although he didn't necessarily need them, it would be a great addition to the empire.

After all, the Curse Continent is too barren.

Without his resource infusion, the Curse Continent would have nothing but its land.

After buying these tier 8 and tier 7 small worlds, the Moonlight Empire would ascend to new heights.

These small worlds would be pockets of resources that would provide continuous output for the empire.

After a little calculation, if he bought all these tier 8 and tier 7 small worlds, he would need over 3 sextillion merits.

Seeing his remaining balance, he quietly closed the small world tab.

He still needed to work hard and earn money, before entertaining his ideas.

Opening the magic crystal vein section, Maximus couldn't help but be moved again.

The Curse Continent is really deficient in mana.

Even Moonshadow City, the center of the empire, only had tier 9 magic crystal veins.

Furthermore, it was used to power the empire's array, so it didn't have enough energy to feed back into the empire.

Maximus had to invest trillions of dimensional coins every year just to infuse some mana in the empire.

To solve this problem, Maximus even planned to buy magic crystal veins from these apex sovereigns.

Now, seeing that the World Origin directly sold them, made it much easier.

Furthermore, it's all you can buy magic crystal veins without limit.

It seemed that the World Origin could artificially generate them, which is good news.

However, looking at the price, Maximus's face went grim.

A tier 9 magic crystal vein costs 100 quadrillion merits.

To power the millions of cities in the empire with at least one crystal vein, he needed hundreds of sextillion merits.

Of course, a few tens of thousands of tier 9 magic crystal veins were enough to raise the empire's concentration of mana to the same level as the Arcane Continent.

Even so, it would still cost him a few sextillion merits.

Seeing treasures that he liked but couldn't buy, Maximus smiled wryly.

Originally, he was proud of his wealth.

But seeing that it couldn't even feed his empire brought him back to reality.

There are still many things he couldn't achieve with his strength and wealth.

Things were far from over; he was just getting started.

Thinking about this, Maximus felt better.

"Just wait, I'll make this Merits Hall as bare as it can be," Maximus vowed internally.
