With My Lifespan Running Out, I Short the Eternal Sacred Land

Returned to the past, with his Dao foundation shattered and his lifespan nearly exhausted, Lu Yuan is driven into a corner by his enemies when he activates the Great Dao Options Exchange, which lets him trade in the “future.” Here, the fate of all things can be priced, and anything can be bought or shorted! [Tradable asset: One year from now, the Heaven-Sword Saint’s Child will fail his tribulation.] [Put option: If you buy this and the event occurs, you will receive 30 percent of his Dao foundation insights as your settlement profit.] [Call option: If you buy this and the Saint’s Child succeeds, you will lose your entire principal.] By shorting his enemies’ lives with the last of his lifespan, Lu Yuan embarks on a completely different path to immortality. He never fights anyone. He trades only in “outcomes.” He never believes in destiny. He believes only in “probability” and “risk hedging.” While the Saint’s Children and prodigies fight tooth and nail over a rare opportunity, Lu Yuan is already thousands of miles away, holding a “call contract” and waiting for the final settlement. While an immortal sacred land enjoys its heyday and dominates the ages, Lu Yuan quietly buys put options on its “mountain gates collapsing in three hundred years,” then begins laying his plans in secret, becoming the unseen hand behind every major event. Years later, when his former enemies, supreme powers, and ancient sacred lands have all become cold figures on his trading board, the world finally realizes in horror This mysterious “house” that never loses has long since added the fate of the entire world to his investment portfolio.
