Cultivating Immortality in the Modern Era: Saving the World Starts with Bankruptcy

Su Mo accidentally binds himself to the “Merit Deficit System,” a golden finger so absurd it defies belief: Lose money, and you grow stronger! Make a profit, and Heaven punishes you! His ultimate goal is to lose a trillion spirit stones and earn the right to ascend. But the problem is... The more he tries to go bankrupt, the harder the Myriad Worlds push him to get rich! He has also been mistakenly dragged into a cross-dimensional chat group, where a bunch of lunatics have mistaken him for the ancient mighty figure Dao Venerable Guixu. They interpret every “I want to lose money” as a supreme Daoist principle. · He buys up poisonous weeds, and a tech fanatic from the apocalypse cries out: “New energy! It can purify waste!” · He invests in funerary services for spirit beasts, and a Primordial World artifact refiner exclaims with delight: “Resurrect ancient ferocious beasts, one for a hundred thousand spirit crystals!” The harder he tries to go bankrupt, the more he's pushed onto the throne of the richest man in the Myriad Worlds. The harder he struggles to lose money, the more Heaven's Dao rewards him with golden merit light. But behind this absurd comedy, the world is hurtling toward destruction. Because his “debt” is actually civilization's emergency rescue fund, advanced by Heaven's Dao from the future. Every time he gets “rich,” he eats away at the world's remaining lifespan. So... He has to lose everything. Otherwise, the Myriad Worlds will have no future. This is a crazy gamble. His only allies are a group of lunatics who read far too much into everything, a bunch of crazies hoping to get rich off him, and a crowd of... hopeless teammates who can't understand what it means to “guarantee a loss.” Here, the richest man's ultimate dream is to go bankrupt, and the only way to save the world is to go into debt! (The world is vast, but Su Mo's ledger is even bigger, because he owes the Myriad Worlds a future.)
