In the twenty-first year of the Jingyou era of Great Qian, a snowstorm buried the Lin family's once most dazzling genius. Branded as someone who would "devour his family's fortune," Lin Chu had the tendons in his hands severed by his own father, was force-fed a drug that stole his voice, and was thrown away like garbage in a mass grave.
At the brink of despair, he unexpectedly awakened the **Myriad Things Value System**.
These all-seeing eyes could not only reveal the true price of anything in the world, but also discern the rise and fall of a nation's fortunes and see through the greed in people's hearts.
A broken bowl no one wanted became, in his hands, a divine treasure worth ten thousand gold pieces, offered in sacrifice to Heaven. A bitter, abandoned well became the source of wealth that let him monopolize Great Qian's lifeline.
In this chaotic age, where imperial power reigns supreme and human lives are treated like grass, Lin Chu knows that to keep from being trampled, he must buy the entire world.
Starting out in a remote border town, he plans every step carefully and builds the Myriad Things Trade Alliance, whose reach spans five continents. He uses paper money to hollow out the imperial treasury and financial leverage to short century-old aristocratic houses. When he reaches the pinnacle of the mortal realm, he discovers that the lofty Immortal Alliance is the true hand behind the reaping of all living beings. Lin Chu resolutely stakes a trillion in assets on launching a financial strike against divine authority from an entirely higher dimension.
"If everything in this world has a price, then what is imperial power worth? And what is an immortal's life worth?"
See how Lin Chu, a discarded son from a humble family, wields wealth as a blade and contracts as a formation, overturning imperial power and toppling the divine throne step by step, until he becomes the sole power broker behind the scenes in the Myriad Worlds!
