Money Moves the Gods

Once the innate God of Currency, who governed the flow of wealth across the heavens, he was betrayed and hunted by the acquired God of Wealth. His divine body was destroyed, leaving only a fragment of his soul, which plunged into chaos with a broken divine core. To resist the source of an unfamiliar blue planet, Earth, from erasing him, he burned everything he had to unleash the unfinished divine art [Communion with the Gods]. This threw time and space into disarray, and he was reborn as an ordinary Chinese boy named Lin Yuan.

When Lin Yuan awoke, the God of Currency's divine core slumbered within him, while his soul bore the imprint of a law: "Everything has a price, and all things can commune with the gods." But at that moment, he had nothing: no followers, no divine power, and the world's will itself rejected him. The flames of vengeance for the betrayal and assassination in his past life burned in his chest. He knew he had to reclaim his godhood in this mortal world as quickly as possible, or his soul would eventually fade away. But time was running short. The difference in the flow of time between Earth and the divine realm, along with the world's source continuously consuming him, hung over him like a sword.

At the start of his rebirth, Lin Yuan's family was struggling. His father was saddled with enormous debts after a failed business venture, and his mother had fallen ill from overwork. This was his **stake in fate**: unless he could quickly change his family's fortunes, he would lose his loved ones again and repeat the fate of his previous life, alone and ultimately betrayed. Drawing on his divine core's innate sense of "value" and fragments of memories from his past life, he started from nothing: finding overlooked antiques, predicting minor stock-market fluctuations, and building his initial capital by exploiting information gaps. Every step required painstaking calculation, because each time he used the power of "Communion with the Gods" to glimpse or influence the flow of value, he consumed some of his precious divine soul essence. That was the price of **bitter victory**.
