Reborn with Infinity Money System, I was Worshipped by All Universes!-Chapter 321: Divine Capitalism: Velen, God of Wealth
In the seventy-third year of the Mythic Era, the universe no longer ran on time, gravity, or thermodynamic constants.
It ran on faith credit.
Temples were no longer places of quiet reverence. They had evolved into dazzling hubs of commerce, ringing with prayers denominated in currency and tracked via cosmic blockchain. Incense burned not for devotion but to clear bandwidth for metaphysical transaction routers. Offerings were algorithmically optimized. Even miracles were backed by ledgers and interest rates.
All of it flowed—ultimately, inevitably—toward one name.
Velen.
The God of Wealth.
He was not just worshipped—he was invested in.
He didn't answer prayers. He audited them.
He didn't perform miracles. He licensed them.
Velen's personal net worth was not calculated in gold, relics, or worshipers—but in divine influence liquidity. And that number had long ago exceeded what any god, primeval being, or quantum oracle could compute without overheating.
His residence? The Godforge Citadel—an independent megastructure orbiting the blue hypergiant star Selvarion-IX. Three chained quasars powered it. Its exterior was layered with the glittering bones of failed market prophets. Inside, it was a museum, a trading floor, and a throne of ledgers.
Each hallway of the Citadel resonated with hymns written in fiscal notation. Celestial servers floated beside prayer routers. Antique belief systems were stored in glass reliquaries marked with barcodes and depreciation tables.
At the heart of it all sat Velen himself, sipping dreamwine from a chalice made of distilled time.
On the outer fringe of the Galactic Compact, in a neutral metaphysical zone known as the Unshaped Tribunal, an emergency session of the 999 Registered Deities was underway.
Gods and higher entities shimmered into existence around a vast, circular amphitheater carved from a single orbiting comet. The walls were lined with mythos-reactive stone, pulsing with divine bias. Some deities arrived as galaxies. Others arrived in silence, embodying abstract concepts like Silence, Debt, or Copyright.
The topic of the day?
Proposal 44X:
The Wealth Limitation Act — a divine legislation aimed at curbing one god's overwhelming accumulation of capital, faith, and metaphysical assets.
Vorta, Goddess of Equilibrium and eternal bureaucrat, slammed her justice gavel onto the invocation platform.
"This is not just a danger to our pantheons," she declared, her voice fracturing light. "This is a threat to divine diversity. Velen now owns 72.4% of all multiversal belief liquidity!"
"He bought the Abyss last week!" hissed Demos, God of Justice. "With coupons! And not just any coupons—expired ones!"
The chamber roared in disbelief.
"He owns the concept of scarcity!" barked Yzarek, Bronze Star Tyrant of the Eastern Collapse. "Scarcity! I have to rent it from him just to limit my own miracles!"
"I already do," muttered a minor god of Memory and Regret.
The gods turned to Vorta.
"We must pass the act. Redistribute his power. Confiscate the Divine Ledger," she said grimly.
A nervous silence followed.
Then, without fanfare, the obsidian gates of the Tribunal creaked open.
A singular pressure swept through the amphitheater.
And in walked Velen.
He did not float. He did not manifest with cosmic choirs or apocalyptic thunder. He just walked, calmly, like a man attending a business brunch.
Ten floating golden ledgers orbited him like gentle moons, each radiating with divine clauses. One bore the fiery sigil of the extinct Fire Pantheon. Another pulsed in anti-language, encrypted in Voidscript, banned by the Precursor Accord.
His robes shimmered with starlight and fine-threaded causality. Each thread had a backstory. His boots clicked with the bone of extinct time dragons. And on his shoulder perched Dividendo, his sapient cigar-smoking coin advisor, who was busy balancing five interdimensional hedge funds in real time.
Velen stepped forward. He smiled with the quiet confidence of someone who owned 86% of the Tribunal's real estate.
"Morning," he said, voice calm. "Heard there was a vote?"
Vorta's halo glitched.
"You have no right—!"
"I read the proposal. 44X, right?" Velen gestured. A golden hologram formed beside him with a perfect replication of the bill's text. "Wealth cap. Redistribution. Sounds noble."
Murmurs rose.
"I support it," he said.
Everyone froze.
"I support the bill," Velen repeated, smiling wider. "In fact, I've already implemented it—privately."
A ripple of confusion spread across the chamber. Dividendo snorted a tiny puff of golden smoke.
With a snap of Velen's fingers, a massive auction platform descended from the Tribunal's ceiling, unfolding like a lotus crafted from interest-bearing platinum. Hovering above the platform were dozens of divine relics, each one radiating overwhelming pressure and history.
The Spear of Dawn, forged at the death of the first sun.
The Clockwork Chalice, which once healed time itself.
The Orb of Neverdeath, still beating with borrowed souls.
Each relic bore a luminous tag:
FOR SALESTARTING BID: 1 FAITH CREDITEligibility: MORTALS ONLY
Gasps echoed across the Tribunal.
"Is this a joke?" Vorta barked.
"No," Velen said. "This is redistribution."
A screen blinked into existence, showing a live auction feed across thousands of realms.
In the volcanic caves of Malathuun, a one-armed miner named Jorah whispered a prayer and accidentally won the Hammer of Persistence.
On the frostbitten moons of Cirrel, a blind girl named Kessa bid her only flame of faith and received the Lantern of Unseen Paths.
In a collapsing fishing village, a drunken old man mistook the bidding interface for a gambling kiosk and bought Poseidon's Trident.
Meanwhile, divine faces in the Tribunal turned various shades of disbelief, panic, and rage.
"He's bankrupting us!" hissed a god of Sky Law.
"Worse," whispered a Muse of Memory, "he's… making us obsolete."
Mortals were bidding.
Mortals were winning.
Mortals were ascending.
"Faith," Velen declared to the chamber, lifting a glass of comet-distilled champagne, "was never meant to be hoarded. It is the only infinite commodity—because belief is self-replicating."
He gestured again.
Behind him, graphs bloomed in the air, showing metrics: realm awakenings, miracle surges, first-time worshiper spikes.
"For every relic I give away," he continued, "I gain thirty new faith streams."
The gods stared in horror as his Divine Ledger updated mid-session.
[Faith Accumulation: +93,482,112,980][Net Worship Velocity: +245%][Pantheon Disruption Index: Crashed]
Back in the mortal world, the auction ignited cultural revolutions.
A wandering bard sang into a relic and became a god of Resonance.
A sentient houseplant wielding the Drip of Dew built a cult around hydration.
Even an elderly librarian won a fragment of the Scripture of Continuity and wrote the first faith-based encyclopedia that contained self-editing truths.
The gods of the old order could only watch as their curated monopolies crumbled.
Velen raised his glass again.
"To the free market of belief," he said. "May the divine be democratized."
Later that evening, in the silence of space and the warm pulse of the Godforge Citadel, Velen walked alone.
Beneath his feet, the Vault Garden shimmered—a biosphere of wealth, legacy, and memory. The trees bore fruit sculpted from crystallized trade routes. Planets orbited lazily inside glass globes, each labeled with the name of a failed economic adversary. Statues of former gods stood in postures of stunned disbelief, eternally preserved beneath plaques that read:
"Bet Against Velen.""Failed to Compound.""Miscalculated Faith Flow."
He passed a bubbling brook made of liquid prophecy futures. Fireflies buzzed with encrypted sermon fragments.
Then came a voice.
"Quite the show today."
Anastasia, once Warlord of the Void Reefs, now the Goddess of Administration, emerged from a hallway of floating filing scrolls. Her suit bore invisible numbers scrolling along the hems. She walked beside Velen like an old investor reviewing a long-term portfolio.
"You redistributed hundreds of relics," she said, raising an eyebrow. "Collapsed four dominant faith monopolies. Dismantled an entire era of divine rent-seeking. And in return… gained more than any of them ever dreamed."
"It's the basics," Velen replied. "You have to spend belief to grow it."
Dividendo floated behind them, puffing away. "And let's not forget we now hold 91% of the prayer licensing market."
"Oh, and twelve new patents," Anastasia added. "Including empathy derivatives and the worship utility token standard."
They stopped at a tree bearing translucent coins as leaves.
"Still," she said, "you know they'll come back swinging."
"I hope they do," Velen replied. "Stagnation kills faster than entropy."
He touched a branch and it unraveled into a glowing map.
"I'm planting new seeds. Everywhere. Not just auctions. This time… I'm opening the Gate of Trials."
Anastasia looked up. "You mean…"
"Yes," Velen nodded. "A challenge. Mortal-only. No divine sponsorships. No shortcuts. Just raw will, ingenuity, and faith."
Across the stars, signals pulsed quietly into unsuspecting dreamscapes.
On a backwater moon, a girl named Lyra awoke clutching a glowing coin.
Begin with nothing.Reach one billion Faith Credits.Inherit the Divine Ledger.
In the binary sands of Kal-Rezzik, a sentient algorithm blinked awake and found its first prayer routed to its codebase.
In the remains of a collapsed church, a forgotten monk whispered an affirmation—and saw his name etched in divine escrow.
Thousands of mortals across a thousand worlds stirred as the Second Era of Divine Capitalism began.
And far away, in a floating citadel forged from the bones of old gods and ambition, Velen simply smiled.
The Second Era of Divine Capitalism did not begin with thunder or prophecy.
It began with questions.
"Why did that mortal girl get a relic for free?""Why does that dog run a church now?""Can I invest my worship in someone else's legend?"
Across every corner of the cosmos, the rules had changed.
Old priests tore their vestments as young children channeled divine algorithms with consumer-grade relics. Formerly unknown tribes rose to prominence by organizing Faith Cooperatives. On the ruined world of Drevvak, an eight-year-old orphan launched the first Miracle Crowdfunding Platform—it reached its divine threshold in 47 seconds.
Lyra, the girl from the backwater mining moon, made headlines when she converted her relic—the Scale of Intention—into a multidimensional scoring system that helped communities self-assess spiritual ROI. Her model was simple, scalable, and open-source. Within a week, she had 14,000 faithful. Within a month, she launched FaithFund, the first public divine investment index.
Meanwhile, in the Realm of Discarded Gods, a fallen deity named Bevalax watched mortals rise.
"This... wasn't supposed to happen," he muttered.
"It was inevitable," replied a shadowy figure beside him. "He didn't kill the hierarchy. He made it liquid."
Back in the citadel, Velen monitored it all in silence.
Anastasia hovered beside him. "You've created a monster."
"No," Velen said. "I've created a market."
He turned to a glowing screen where names scrolled endlessly—mortals with rising credit lines of belief. freewёbnoνel.com
Dividendo floated nearby, deeply amused. "There's a twelve-year-old on sector J5 who just shorted a local god by releasing a competing miracle app."
"They're adapting fast," Anastasia noted.
"They're supposed to," Velen said. "The Gate of Trials isn't just a competition. It's a filter."
Across the astral net, new "godstartups" began to appear.
PraisePay: monetize your prayer life.
Deify.Me: build your public god-profile and gain worshipers from niche belief pools.
Blessr: miracle-as-a-service with weekly subscription boxes.
PantheonDAO: decentralized autonomous pantheon, where mortals voted on which divine avatars to create.
Traditional gods scrambled to respond. Some tried to lower their "miracle fees." Others resorted to panic evangelism. One tried to release a Divine Token IPO, only to be instantly outbid by a mortal teenager from a desert wasteland.
And Lyra?
She was only just getting started.
Within the towering center of the Godforge Citadel sat a chamber few had ever seen:The Room of Compound Intent.
Its walls were composed of unresolved prayers.Its floor—stacked ledgers from forgotten universes.Its ceiling reflected a future not yet calculated.
Here, Velen sat alone, legs crossed on a cushion of expired prophecy.
Before him floated the Divine Ledger, now so vast it required seventeen dimensions just to summarize daily activity. The pages shimmered with names—mortals, demigods, gods-in-the-making. Some had grown empires of faith. Others had flared and vanished. But all of them had entered the system.
Anastasia stood at the edge of the room. For once, her clipboard was blank.
"There's no ceiling left," she said quietly. "You've turned even divinity into a growth model."
"That's because growth was never about upward," Velen replied. "It's about outward."
He tapped the Ledger. Instantly, dozens of new Gates activated.
In the Veins of the Old Star, a tribe of telepathic frogs blinked as their oracle saw gold light bloom across their swamp.
In a void-locked prison realm, a poet chained in silence awoke to find his thoughts becoming sermons.
In Earth's reflection plane, a burnt-out teacher picked up a coin on the sidewalk—and heard a whisper:
"Start again."
Outside, the universe trembled—not in fear, but in motion.
The gods would never again monopolize faith.
Belief belonged to the bold.
Power belonged to the curious.
Wealth... belonged to those who knew where to invest.
Velen stood, gently closing the Divine Ledger.
He didn't smile.
He didn't boast.
He simply turned to Anastasia and said, "Now we wait."
"For what?" she asked.
Velen looked out through the golden lattice of his citadel.
"For someone," he said, "to break my record."
And across the stars, across the hearts of mortals and forgotten beings, something stirred.
A whisper. A pulse.
A market of meaning.An ecosystem of belief.A future where anyone—absolutely anyone—could become divine.
If they were clever enough.
