From the Start, I Draw a Shattered Divine Kingdom: Who Could Afford to Maintain This?

[Mastermind + Fourth Calamity + Capitalist Simulator]

Shang Lu draws the world’s only Supreme UR card: [The Shattered Supreme Divine Kingdom].

He thinks he’s reached the pinnacle of life, only to discover that this card is a life-threatening burden. The Divine Kingdom consumes an enormous amount of energy every day, and if its supply runs short, it drains his lifespan!

With only three days left on his life timer, Shang Lu gazes at the Divine Kingdom’s sacred spring, angelic guards, and ancient dragon veins, falling into deep thought...

“If I can’t afford to support you, then the whole world can do it for me!”

And so, a “Main God’s Space” spanning reality and the mental network quietly arrives.

A tycoon’s daughter becomes the Divine Kingdom’s chief cash machine, a ruthless underdog becomes the most overworked free-to-play grinder, and a haughty demigod’s skeleton tearfully signs a ten-thousand-year labor contract, then has to keep dangling enticing promises in front of the players.

Shen Xingruo: “The Main God must have seen my talent, which is why I got nothing but pity rewards on all ten pulls!”

Chu Ye: “If I sleep just one hour a day, the Main God can repair the divine throne sooner!”

Watching his lifespan balance skyrocket, Shang Lu quietly lowers the drop rates. “These players are working way too hard. I need to launch another pay-to-win event to ease their grind.”

As the Divine Kingdom’s projection blots out the sky and its hundred-thousand-square-kilometer domain descends into reality, players around the world kneel and pray.

Meanwhile, Shang Lu scrimps over his ledger, fretting: “For this Abyssal invasion, whose guild bonus should I deduct the repair costs for the players’ damaged weapons from?”
