This is the 107th year after the end of the civilization of cultivating immortals.
The spiritual veins are exhausted and the Taoism withers. The strong become bandits, and the Immortal Gate turns into a bandit's lair. In this desperate wasteland, everyone is struggling, fighting for their lives for a piece of gravel that contains a trace of spiritual energy.
Chen Jin, an ant digging for food in the ruins, discovered the biggest secret of the world: when everyone regarded gold as dirt, only he could hear the echo of these "waste" in the void.
One gram of gold can last one day of cultivation.
A pound of antiques can be exchanged for a lost magical power.
And when he piled the wealth of the entire city at his feet, the void opened and a whisper came: "Wealth is the scale of civilization. Congratulations, you are qualified to rebuild it."
From then on, he no longer competed with the ascetics for scraps. He bought the entire wasteland, and sweet springs gushed out of the land, and spring blossomed out of dead trees. He founded a trading company, settled with spiritual stones, and wrote the rules.
The former genius and the elder of the ancient sect bowed their knees outside the city-state he built with wealth, just asking for a place to stay.
They called him a devil, a merchant, and an upstart.
Until the great catastrophe of the end of the Dharma has completely arrived, the heaven and the earth have collapsed, and all things have returned to silence. Chen Jin stood up in the desperate situation of all living beings and turned the wealth accumulated throughout his life into a ray of light that opened up the world.
At that moment, the world understood that the path he had walked was called - "Sanctification of Ash Ruins".
