Two hundred divine stones?
Upon hearing this price, even Elise felt a bit incredulous.
This was because Daniel Headmaster had already outlined his demands clearly before. Yet, the person in front of them, named Crane, seemed to have completely ignored them—or perhaps…
Two hundred divine stones are actually incredibly rare in the God Realm?
Elise recalled the divine stones Daniel Headmaster had given her before… those could be counted in the tens of thousands.

But two hundred…
Crane noticed the hesitant look on the others’ faces. But this was unavoidable. After all, he was now a Tier-god. Two hundred divine stones was the number he had roughly calculated.
In ten years…
If fortune was on their side, some superpower from the Void Realm might ascend, and they might acquire a good number of mana crystals. How could these superpowers all endure so much? They had reached Tier-sage level, yet they could resist the temptation of ascending…
At that moment, Daniel threw a storage crystal to Crane.
Crane didn’t even react in time. It was purely out of instinct that he caught the storage crystal.
Once he came to his senses and examined the contents of the crystal, he was immediately stunned by the vast amount of mana crystals inside!
Wait! This…
Ten billion mana crystals?
He had only asked for two hundred divine stones! Why was there so much—ten billion mana crystals?
If you calculate, two hundred divine stones should only be worth about two billion mana crystals.
“Don’t doubt me. I didn’t make a mistake. All the remaining mana crystals inside are yours, because in the next ten years, not only will you act as our guide, but all daily purchases and related matters will also be entrusted to you.”
“Yes…” Crane hesitated.
He never imagined he would meet such a wealthy person from his own world who had ascended here.
Thinking about the ten billion mana crystals inside the storage crystal, Crane felt like howling at the sky.
He had been in the God Realm for two hundred years, and never once had he felt this happy, this excited, and it was as if he wanted to slap himself to make sure he wasn’t dreaming.
At the same time, he began to wonder if this so-called Riverside City was actually a previously undiscovered superpower. How could they suddenly come up with so many mana crystals? It was terrifying.
“What? Is it still not enough?”
Daniel asked again when he saw Crane staring blankly at him without any movement.
“No, no, no, it’s… it’s more than enough,” Crane stammered.
A thousand divine stones…
Crane never imagined he would live a day so rich.
Beside him, the friend who had come along with Crane stared with wide eyes, as if he had stepped into a dream. How did Crane get so lucky?
“Please, follow me.”
Crane said, leading Daniel and Elise away.
The rules in the God Realm are somewhat different from those in the Mortal Realm. Elise was still adjusting, so she wasn’t flying very quickly. Daniel, in turn, slowed his pace to wait for her.
Soon, they arrived at their destination.
“My lord, this is the outer district of Ascension City.”
Essentially, it could be considered an area where individual merchants or small households reside, much like a cluster of small towns.
The further out you go, the more scattered it becomes. The closer you get, the more organized it gets.
“These areas were built by the different worlds, like small towns. Although no one has ascended from the Void Realm to the God Realm in recent years, the situation was different before, so we could secure a relatively closer spot to Ascension City.”
It was a prime location, but…
With the decline of those superpowers and the lingering influence of the gods and demons, fewer people had the ability to ascend to the God Realm. The small towns formed by the Void Realm had also become a target for many.
However, Void Town wasn’t just for the people who first ascended. Over the years, many had left or perished. It had evolved into a regular residential area, a temporary stop for newly ascended individuals.
At some point, those who had first ascended and remained were few, and according to Crane, only the town mayor remained. He was at the rank of Supreme God.
Most of the ordinary people in the God Realm were below the level of Divine Mage.
Divine Mage, Human God, Earth God, Heavenly God, High God, Supreme God, God Lord, God Sovereign, God King.
The Supreme God was considered a mid-to-high-tier existence.
In this small town, even the mayor was only a Supreme God.
It seemed Daniel was a bit surprised, so Crane awkwardly added, “That’s because Ascension City has a unique situation. In some smaller towns, the mayor is actually a God Lord or even a God Sovereign…”
By this time, they had arrived at Void Town.
Most people here were associated with the Void Realm in one way or another.
Of course, after so many years without anyone ascending to the God Realm, many had probably forgotten why this town was named Void Town in the first place.
Once they entered the town, the streets were not too different from the Mortal Realm.
Shops were selling pills, plants, and alchemical items, but none of them were of very high quality. Some didn’t even reach the level of half-divine artifacts.
Daniel was naturally uninterested in such things.
After all, he had come to the God Realm to find items that carried the power of rules for Big White, so it could progress in its level.
Crane, having just received his reward, also bought a few items—nothing too expensive, probably only a dozen or so divine stones.
Even so, the shopkeeper was quite surprised, thinking that a big spender had arrived.
Daniel directly asked, “I need something a bit more advanced. Where can I find them?”
Still basking in his shopping joy, Crane quickly replied, “For something more advanced, you’ll need to go into Ascension City. There are many items there. However, the prices aren’t exactly cheap.”
Crane knew better than to slack off when responding to Daniel’s inquiry.
Ascension City indeed had many valuable items.
When Crane first arrived here and was naïve, he had gone in to take a look. After that, he never returned.
Because… it’s important to know one’s limits.
Items that were beyond his reach only caused frustration—there was no point in looking at them.
Daniel nodded.
It was indeed a good idea to head into Ascension City soon.
He couldn’t just keep letting Big White drink forge tears produced by the Will of World.
“By the way, take us to find a place to settle first.”
Daniel told Crane.
“Understood, please follow me.”
Crane said, leading them to another store.
“Crane? Long time no see, planning to buy a new house?” The pub keeper greeted him with a smile, clearly familiar with him.
“This time, I’m bringing two distinguished guests. They’re not just ordinary guests.”
“Ah, I see. I understand. These must be newly ascended from the Void Realm, right? No problem, the houses here are top quality, absolutely no issues!”
The pub keeper said, pulling out a memory stone.
“You can take a look at these houses, they’ve just been built recently…”
“I’m the guide for these two, and also their housekeeper. I’ll take a look,” Crane said, reaching for the memory stone from the pub keeper.
At that moment, the pub keeper smiled, tucking the stone away.
“Since it’s you, I won’t let the good water flow outside. These are the latest private homes for sale, take a look at which ones you like.”
The pub keeper then brought out a new memory stone.
Crane handed it over to Daniel.
Daniel glanced through it briefly.
The memory stone had details of various houses, their prices, and general designs.
They could be rented long-term or bought outright.
After browsing through some areas, Daniel had a rough understanding of the price range in Void Town.
