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

"You… how did you do that?"

"That was a rare artifact from the upper plane universe—in our galaxy, it’s supposed to be indestructible!"

Clinton was shocked beyond words, staring at Velen in utter disbelief as he questioned him.

Before Velen could even respond, the excitement on Clinton’s face suddenly vanished, replaced by bloodshot eyes glaring at Velen.

"Velen, you knew all along that you could break the seal, didn’t you?"

"If you were so confident that you could do it, then why didn’t you say so earlier? My Soul Crystals—!"

The moment Clinton realized that, under Velen’s manipulation, he had squandered hundreds of years’ worth of painstakingly condensed Soul Crystals, his good mood instantly soured.

"You never asked me before!"

Velen shrugged indifferently, completely unbothered.

"Besides, what’s done is done—dwelling on the past is meaningless. Just be happy—that’s what really matters!"

Hearing this, Clinton was so furious that he was practically grinding his teeth, but he had no way to argue against it.

After all, those Soul Crystals—he had given them away willingly.

…

Meanwhile, as the seal was broken—

Inside the Solar Temple of the upper plane universe, the temple lord, Sunlord, rubbed the sun-shaped sigil on his forehead, narrowing his eyes in mild surprise.

"Interesting… In the barren lower plane universe, someone actually managed to break the seal I left behind."

"A genius… finally, something entertaining has appeared again!"

Sunlord burst into laughter, his amusement echoing through the grand temple.

…

At the same time, in an isolated cosmic region of Titan Galaxy—

Max was seated cross-legged atop a planet radiating immense stellar energy.

Though it was called a planet, in reality, it was merely the size of a house—a celestial body that had been compressed through countless refinements, making it unbelievably dense!

The planet contained mana condensed to its absolute limits, offering tremendous benefits for leveling up and purifying mana.

At that moment, Max sensed something, his gaze shifting toward the now-destroyed seal.

"To think that after hundreds of years, you’d actually break free… Looks like I underestimated you after all…"

"But it’s too late."

Max smirked.

"I am no longer the same Max from back then."

"With this compressed planet, my mana has been refined to the point of being as dense as liquid—no awakener at the same level could ever compare to me now!"

As he spoke, Max realized—Clinton breaking free might not be a bad thing.

"Our grudge… is finally coming to an end!"

Max snorted coldly, his killing intent surging.

Back then, he had been young and weak, unable to defeat Clinton.

But now, the situation had reversed.

It was time for revenge!

…

Meanwhile, after hearing Clinton’s story about his deadly feud with Max, Velen was surprised.

"So… the whole reason you and Max had such a massive conflict was because you discovered a Mana Planet first, and Max wanted to steal it?"

"But since he couldn’t defeat you, he ended up humiliated and empty-handed—so he got Sunlord’s representative to intervene?"

After listening to the full account of Clinton and Max’s feud, Velen nodded, feeling a strong sense of familiarity.

"Beat the weaker one, then the stronger boss shows up—classic!"

Clinton had expected Velen to be intimidated upon hearing Max’s name.

Instead, he got this…?

’Classic’?

So what, being sealed for three hundred years was just a normal event now?

That hurts, man.

If he hadn’t been a soul master, if he didn’t have Soul Crystals to pass the time, he probably would’ve gone completely insane.

Speaking of Soul Crystals—Clinton suddenly felt like coughing up blood again.

If he still had all the Soul Crystals he had painstakingly condensed over the centuries, he would be filthy rich!

He could’ve lived like a king!

But now?

Without them, he was just a wandering beggar, completely broke!

"This Velen… what kind of scam artist is he?! Too cruel!"

The more he thought about it, the more pissed off he became.

Finally, he couldn’t hold back and asked—

"Velen, which faction do you belong to?"

Velen had actually been considering how to recruit this top-tier powerhouse into Fortress—but to his surprise, Clinton asked first!

With a grin, he replied:

"I come from Fortress on Uranus Star. It’s not a huge power right now, but the people are great!"

Since he didn’t know if Clinton was willing to join, he kept his introduction brief.

Hearing that Fortress wasn’t a major force, Clinton simply nodded.

"This time, I only managed to escape the seal thanks to you.

With my level as a top-tier awakener, I assume I can become a Guest Elder Senator at Fortress?"

Clinton’s words startled Velen.

"Old Headmaster, now that you’re free, don’t you want revenge against Max?"

"Besides, with your level, you could enter the upper plane universe at any time, right?"

Hearing Velen’s direct questions, Clinton’s eyes widened in shock.

"We really are kindred spirits—you guessed exactly what I was thinking!"

Back when he was still sealed, he had definitely wanted revenge against Max.

After all, it was because of Max that he had been imprisoned for so long.

But now that he was actually free…

Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.

That hatred had begun to fade.

He had spent so long trapped, there were so many things he still wanted to experience—why waste time on revenge?

Sure, he was strong—but he had no background.

He was no match for Sunlord.

Going after Max was asking for death.

If it weren’t for Velen, he would’ve been imprisoned until he died!

"Forget revenge—I’m too old for that kind of hot-blooded nonsense."

"As for entering the upper plane universe?" Clinton shook his head.

"Sunlord is already watching me. If I go up, I’ll just die faster."

"Besides, here in the lower planes, I’m one of the strongest. If I enter the upper plane universe, I’ll be at the bottom. I have zero interest in that."

His answer was frank and honest.

Velen respected that logic.

At that moment, he contacted the system—

"System, Clinton is a big deal. Shouldn’t we welcome him properly? How about a million Advanced Mana Crystals as a gift?"

Clinton was someone who could enter the upper plane universe anytime.

Fortress needed powerhouses like him.

Velen was already planning for when Anastasia ascended, to take Fortress with him—the more strong allies, the better!

After a brief pause, the system responded—

"Approved—this falls within reasonable wealth-flaunting limits."

Velen expected that answer.

After all, when he had gifted the Senate ten million Advanced Mana Crystals, they had immediately given him a Guest Elder Senator position.

Now, gifting Clinton one million Advanced Mana Crystals seemed just right!

Taking out a storage bag, he handed it to Clinton.

"Since you’re joining Fortress, as the Vice Captain, I welcome you! This is just a little gift—consider it a signing bonus!"

Clinton curiously examined the bag—he had always felt that Velen was an enigma.

But when he peeked inside…

His entire body froze.

"Velen… is this real?! A million Advanced Mana Crystals?!"

Even with his powerful soul, he almost couldn’t believe it.

This was beyond extravagant!

"You bet it’s real. And don’t worry—once you join Fortress, I have an even bigger surprise for you!"

Velen grinned.

He had already planned it out—since Clinton loved Mana Planets, he would rig the system lottery and get tons of Mana Planets to decorate his estate!
