Apocalypse: I've Monopolized the Supernatural Path

[Resource monopoly]+ [Building the strongest commercial empire]+ [Setting the rules] Xiao Han was reborn before the apocalypse arrived. He sold off his enormous fortune and bought barren wastelands all over the world, places everyone else dismissed as worthless. Everyone laughed and called him crazy. Until the day the source-energy catastrophe struck! Energy crystals known as source stones erupted across the world, becoming the only path to transcendent evolution! All living things evolved wildly! Humanity, caught off guard, was steadily driven into ever-smaller pockets of safety! Only when rivers of blood flowed over a single shattered source stone did the world discover, in horror, that every superdeposit where source stones erupted across the globe... was in Xiao Han’s hands! While future powerhouses were still struggling to awaken, he already sat atop mountains of source stones and had established the central bank of the new world. “Want to evolve into a transcendent? Sure. Take out a loan from my Source Stone Bank. I set the interest rate.” “Want to build a survivor base? Sure. Buy an energy core from me. I set the price.” “Are you a future Martial God or a future Archmage? Sorry, without my source stones, you’re not even qualified to begin.” “I, Xiao Han, will monopolize the path to transcendence in this world and become the... one and only deity looming over all living things.”
