Chapter 873 - Shameless . . . [Day 321] [Kireina] gained Divine Skill Points due to the prayers of your believers!] (Added!) [Kireina] gained Divine Dungeon Points due to the combined energy gathered by your Dungeons!] (Added!) [Divine Skill Points and Divine Dungeon Points have been converted into their corresponding Ranks!] Preparations continued today as well, while I was raising allies into Living Deities on the side. I was gathering many Spatial Attribute Divine Materials to reinforce the Teleportation Formation. Spending these resources was worth it if I was going to get such a Divine Material as the Yggdrasil Sprout. The Yggdrasil Sprout is a Nature and Life Attribute Divine Material of immense properties, capabilities, and power. With it, if I manage to connect it to my Divine Realm, not only I would get a ton of Attribute Particles, but also an immense amount of power. I believe I could even connect it to my Soul and gain power from it directly, through some means I could figure, later on, even Divine Techniques or Path Jewels around it could be made. It could become the core for amazing types of abilities that I could develop. Due to its importance to the Realm, most Gods protect it and any that has tried to steal it has failed and has been crushed miserably. But due to the changing times, the Central Continent has lost a lot of their attention to the Border Continent, and their guard had been left pretty lacking, which was mostly made of Zeus' Gods. We'll crush them, and take away their precious tree alongside the elves as a side dish. Talking about this and Zeus, the damn Goddess that sees the future was tried to see the future around me again. However, through my manipulation of fate threads, I can see the threads of fate everywhere. Apollo can use this Skill partially too, and so, I've been using it through him to manipulate the threads of all the Gods alongside Zeus, to make it seem as if her future, the future that she can see, never changes, despite having changed long ago. This, obviously, spends a crapload of Divine Energy to do, but it is worth it, and I am mostly using the saved Divine Energy that Apollo and his family had, so there's no problem there. The Super Knockoff Teleportation Crystals will be a great addition to this Teleportation Formation, but to make it faster and better, I will need to use actual Space Attribute Divine Materials as well, at least a few hundreds. I am using the ones I have here alongside some that I am planning to purchase right now. As of now we finished having lunch and everyone is now doing sparing matches, they need to get used to their new Godly powers, so fighting to get used to them is necessary. Meanwhile, I am sitting here watching over them, as I delve my mind into the Interdimensional Merchant Shop. The Interdimensional Merchant Shop… Alright, time to explain this thing properly, as I am about to use it a lot. This place is easy to understand, it is a place where Gods sell stuff. Anything they can find and produce which they value can be sold here, items, artifacts, divine materials, anything. Even large quantities of Divine Beast or eve Mortals, yes, a lot of human trafficking is done here, and not just humans, a lot of races. If you have a fire divine realm, you want mortals that can survive the fire. If you have a thunder divine realm, you want mortals that can survive the thunder, and so on… Gods who have not created offspring often buy packs of mortals to worship them, so they can gain divine energy, this is why actually selling mortals in large packs is quite a good way to make money. And even those that already had a ton can get even more. As I said, you never have enough mortals, they are a great source of power. Without their worship, I wouldn't have grown as strong, the Divine Energy I get from them alongside the Divine Skill Points and Divine Dungeon Points is vital. Always, aside from this, this is the place you have to go whenever you want Divine Materials and don't want to risk your life going outside, you could go to the Higher Realms where you can find Divine Materials growing naturally, but those places are very dangerous, and often owned by large Pantheons already, so it is better to simply stockpile Divine Energy Crystals or sell your own stuff to buy the stuff you need. And here I go, I got a large quantity of Divine Energy Crystals packed from what I have made through my own Divine Energy. The Gods also wanted to help me, but I refused, they need their own things, I don't want to take away what they got as it would be vital for them to grow stronger. I believe I can handle things with what I have acc.u.mulated. Divine Materials and their prices vary a lot depending on their Rank and demand. Living Deity Rank Materials are usually 1-100 Divine Energy Crystals… depending on their rank and demand, but they never go too high because no one would buy them then. God Rank Materials are usually 10.000-100.000 Divine Energy Crystals, but can go even higher… And then there are Great God Rank materials… those are even more ridiculous price-wise. From Supreme God and above… I have no idea, there are only a handful of Supreme Gods to maintain a stable market of such materials. My plan is actually just to buy Living Deity Rank, the formation I am doing is not God Rank, just Living Deity Rank is more than enough to teleport a giant tree, no need to get so fancy over it. I currently have 6.634 Divine Energy Crystals I have been acc.u.mulating over all this time since I became a Goddess. I want to buy around a hundred Spatial Attribute Divine Materials, so let's see what we can find. I don't have my hopes up as Spatial Attribute Gods are rare. I create a Will, which I use to delve into the different space that is the Interdimensional Merchant Shop. There, I begin to look for what's in store. Some have large signs saying what they're selling. These are Wills. A Will is easy to create, it was easy to me even when I was a mortal thanks to Parallel Mind. But they are in fact just that, a mass of consciousness that you make by copying your own mind, you give it a bit of power, usually a tiny bit of your soul, and you put it in your shop to attend any buyer. Each glowing light is the Will of a different God… and there are hundreds. But it is easy to filter these shops through the System. I filter it to Living Deity Rank and then to Spatial Attribute. After a few seconds, only two shops appear… Indeed, Spatial Attribute is very rare. Usually, to not reveal their identities, Gods give themselves nicknames, which their Wills use inside their shops to be referred as. I have given myself the nickname "Hungry Caterpillar". Meanwhile, the two I found that were selling what I wanted were named Spatial Cage King and Dimensional Princess… Quite the flashy names, I bet they are young. They were mere Wills, of course, the Gods that sold the products were probably not present as of now, and their Wills represented them, the Wills often had the same mind as the God, so it was like talking to it anyways. I checked both Shops in detail, as the Wills glanced at my Will with eagerness, they seem to have realized that I was comparing prices. Any Spatial Attribute Divine Material was good for me, I didn't need anything specific, so what I was seeking is large amounts for small prices. Spatial Cage King was selling a bunch of different Spatial Attribute Materials, but they were all around 30-50 every ten batches, some that were of higher quality were sold up to 80… he had around 70 items, which would cost me almost everything I have to buy. Dimensional Princess seemed to be more organized, and sold a special grass named Dimensional Grass that grows within the spatial layers of her Divine Realm, she sold them in large batches of 50, which cost 450 Divine Energy Crystals each… Indeed, Dimensional Princess seems way better for what I want. But I am not someone that simply buys without wanting a discount… Although I cannot use the discount Technique against Wills nor Gods Shops, I can use other techniques such as the Fortune Digging Technique from my Merchant Goddess Skill, which gives me greater fortune and chances for someone to give me a discount if I ask for it. "Good day, Dimensional Princess, I have taken an interest in your products… Are they sold in larger batches?" I asked. "Welcome esteemed guest, Hungry Caterpillar. Although my main body has not given me any order, it could be possible to sell them in larger batches if you so d.e.s.i.r.e to buy them like that," said Dimensional Princess rather politely, she knew that my Will was a God Rank, and before a Living Deity Rank like her, she needed to be very polite. "I see. How about 200 Dimensional Grass for 1000 Divine Energy Crystals then?" I asked. The Dimensional Princess Will suddenly became still… the money I offered was too big of a discount that it made her paralyzed for a bit. I bet she thinks I am quite shameless. The original price would be 1800, as every 50 batches cost 450 Divine Energy Crystals. But it's not that I intend to buy it cheap, this is just how you do business around here. "E-Excuse me, respected Elder, but… That would be too much of a discount, you have to know that my main body requires these crystals to hasten her cultivation, it is a vital thing. Selling them at such a price would… the only detriment of her growth. How about 1750? Instead of 1800, a fair discount for someone so honorable as you," said the Dimensional Princess. "1750? Hmm… I don't know about that, it won't do…" I said. "W-Well… 1720?" asked Dimensional Princess. "1100," I said. "1100?! N-No, ah… S-Sorry for my rudeness… But that's… how about 1600? That's as far as I can go… according to the main body," said Dimensional Princess. "1600 is way too much, girl. Your materials are not even God Rank. 1200," I said. "B-But that is way… too much of a discount…" she said. "Hm? Well, I might consider buying your good friend at your side then…" I said. "Ah?! No, please…! How about… 1500?" she asked. "1500… Hmm… 1300," I said. "N-No, with that I wouldn't earn anything… Honorable Elder, have some mercy on this humble cultivator…" she sighed. "What a troublesome woman you are… 1350 and that's all I offer," I said. "…That's… How about 1400?" sighed Dimensional Princess. "Hmph… Do you take me for a clown?" I asked her. "Ah! No, I am sorry!" she cried. "1370 is all I will give you, take it or leave it," I said. "…Okay," sighed Dimensional Princess. The transaction was done in an instant, as I managed to get my materials at a pretty good price. I could kind of see that she got a bit tired and sad, but she seemed desperate to make some money, so in the end she sold anyways. Finally grabbing the materials I needed, I moved them inside my Divine Realm, this should be more than enough. . . . Please make sure to check out my other novels, I am sure that you will like them!
