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

Su Mo accidentally bound himself to the “Merit Deficit System,” a golden finger so absurd it defied belief:

Losing money made him stronger!

Making a profit brought down heavenly punishment!

His ultimate goal was to lose a trillion spirit stones and earn the right to ascend. But there was a problem:

The more he tried to go bankrupt, the more the Myriad Worlds pushed him to get rich!

He had also been mistakenly dragged into a cross-dimensional chat group, where the lunatics took him for the ancient supreme expert Dao Venerable Guixu. They wildly interpreted every “I want to lose money” as the supreme Dao.

· He bought up poisonous herbs, and a tech fanatic from the apocalypse cried out, “A new energy source! It can purify wasteland!”

· He invested in spirit beast funeral services, and a weapon refiner from the Primordial World cheered, “We can resurrect ancient ferocious beasts! One hundred thousand spirit crystals each!”

The harder he worked to go bankrupt, the more he was pushed toward the throne of the richest man in the heavens.

The more he struggled to take a loss, the more heavenly merit and golden light the Heavenly Dao rewarded him with.

But behind this absurd comedy, the world was hurtling toward destruction.

Because his “debts” were actually emergency funds for saving civilization, advanced by the Heavenly Dao from the future.

Every time he “struck it rich,” he was spending the world’s lifespan.

So

He had to lose everything.

Otherwise, the Myriad Worlds would have no future.

This was a crazy gamble.

His only allies were a bunch of nutcases with overactive imaginations, a crowd of lunatics hoping to get rich off him, and a pack of useless teammates who… couldn’t understand what “a sure loss” meant.

Here, the richest man’s ultimate dream was to go bankrupt! And the only way to save the world was to go into debt!

(The world is vast, but Su Mo’s ledger is even bigger, because he owes the Myriad Worlds a future.)
