In the year 276 of the Ming Dynasty, there were 16 emperors. There are countless richest men, but there is only one ending: their wealth is wiped out, their families disappear, and their names are erased from history books.
Shen Wansan, who was as rich as his country, was exiled thousands of miles away and died in a foreign land. Yan Song, who was greedy for money and two million taels of silver, begged on the street after his house was confiscated. Liu Jin, known as the "Emperor", whose family property was equivalent to twelve million taels of gold - equivalent to the fiscal revenue of the Ming Dynasty for six years - ended up with his head missing and not a penny taken with him.
Historian Shen Mo traveled through time and became the grandson of Shen Wansan. After witnessing his family being raided, he finally understood: This was not an accident, but a curse that has lasted for countless epochs - the "Return to Zero Tribulation". Every 276 years, the law of power in the world of immortality will launch a harvest, clearing away the wealth and cultivation of all top forces.
Everyone thinks that power comes from cultivation and wealth belongs to the owner. But Shen Mo saw the truth: money never belongs to you, and resources always belong to those who can mobilize them. What determines the mobilization of abilities is not cultivation, not wealth, but power.
He decided to break the situation.
Entering the Tao through business, using the abacus as a tool, and setting up a chess game that spans a hundred years in the cracks of power. When the zero calamity comes again, he wants to prove one thing: the real strong man is not the one who accumulates the most, but the one who makes everyone no longer need to accumulate.
This time, the 276-year curse ends here.
