The Primordial Record novel Chapter 972

Chapter 972 Seven Centuries (3)

Old Man Seed had gathered thousands of Aechon Stones in his time in the Great Abyss and for the last few Eras, he had spent just twenty of these stones on various transactions.

At his level, he could not use Origin Shards, which was the primary method of transaction in most of reality.

To him, this currency could be considered useless, he could effortlessly create trillions of Origin Shards using his Essence, their complexity which was a form of protection against counterfeit was simple for him to forge and reproduce, and when trading with equal powers or greater, they would not accept anything but rare treasures.

Generally, Will Holders of the sixth dimensional level and higher could effortlessly create Origin Shards and therefore they were discouraged from using this currency to trade among their peers. Of course, this did not stop them from using their shards to purchase lower-tier goods in bulk and enrich their various domains.

Origin Shard was still useful for those beneath Will, able to bolster the Essence of those in the Supreme Circle with non-attributeless energy. Rowan was unique in the sense that he had an entire sea of Primordial energy in his body and could regenerate these energy stores, faster than he could even spend them. Everyone else had a much smaller Mental Space and had to refill their energy stores constantly with energy that did not clash with their attributes, and this was where Origin Shards became important.

The greatest dividing point for wealth was when a being reached the Sixth-dimensional level and gained the capability to create Origin Shards, except for the rarest and most precious of resources, these beings automatically became infinitely wealthy by conventional standards.

No single treasure in the lower dimensions was out of their reach, and they could flood an entire world with Origin Shard to acquire whatever they wanted, yet, for truly high-level treasures that could impact them, except using Labyrinth Coins, the only form of exchange was via trade by barter.

An Aechon Stone could not be procured using Origin Shards but by exchange, among them a high-level resource.

In less than thirty years, Old Man Seed watched in both fascination and shock as the consumption of the Aechon Stones reached two thousand pieces and was still climbing. He had long realized that it was not the fault of the Tenebris armor that such a large amount of resources was being drawn, but it was because of the occupant of the armor.

"Your son," Old Man Seed growled in surprise and exasperation, "Is a freak!"

Elura rolled her eyes, "I don't believe you can not take care of the upkeep for a single mortal, no matter how special he is, or is your talk of being as rich as a Prime nothing but the ramblings of a being who knows he is over his head. It's been barely three decades and you are already complaining, don't forget your training program was planned for a few million years."

The old man looked away from the judging eyes of his daughter, "I never said I was as rich as a prime, I only said that I am as rich as the shade of a Prime. You are putting words in my mouth child, I also never said I could not support him, but you have to admit, in three short decades I have used enough wealth that most in reality would never fathom, and I suspect this is just the beginning, admit it daughter, this boy is a freak." _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}
