Heaven's Mandate Chart

A Jiu has only three days left to live, and the Underworld's debt-collection notice is nailed to his door. Then he digs the black Fate Chart card out of his wine cellar. This thing is sinister: every swipe costs him some of his life, but it lets him directly rewrite the world's underlying data. And so things take a wildly unexpected turn. When the Jiuxiao Consortium monopolizes ascension with immortal cards, A Jiu counters by issuing Fate Bonds. Using rights to the returns on one's lifespan as collateral, he drains the immortal world's stock market in an instant, sending powerful figures lining up to jump off buildings. When Youmin Chain starts offering VIP reincarnation, making even the dead wait their turn, A Jiu launches Lifespan Pinduoduo: group purchases for a hundred people, and nobody dies. The Underworld can't raise interest rates fast enough to keep up with how quickly he reaps profits. When the throne of the Dayin Dynasty requires Fate Points to renew its lease, A Jiu uses the chart in front of everyone and deletes Dayin from the river of history with a single click. The emperor goes bankrupt on the spot, and his dragon robe ends up on Xianyu. Immortal cards are suspended, hell money inflates, the dynasty delists, and everyone is seeing red. They want his life, but they want the card in his hand that can withdraw money from the entire world even more. Then the Heavenly Dao itself steps in and gives him an ultimatum: Your existence is disrupting the order. Within 24 hours, either prove your worth or be completely formatted, card and all.
