Chapter 2412 - 2379: The Impending Financial Fortune Dao Emperor Realm Cultivator Will Certainly Trigger an Immortal Dynasty Financial Crisis

In the blink of an eye, two million years have passed.

In the Supreme Great Sun Celestial Pivot, the emperor still sits poised on the Crystal Divine Throne, sealing himself within that palace, with no one able to enter and pay homage to the Human Emperor.

In these two million years, Immortal Technology has advanced tremendously and evolves each day, causing many changes in society every several hundred thousand years. If a Supreme closes off for too long, they might feel out of place, unable to adapt to society, finding the latest Immortal Dao Journals obscure and difficult to understand.

In such circumstances, the Dao path of a Supreme often stagnates or even regresses!

For a Supreme is the academic authority in a certain subset of Immortal Science within the Endless Starry Sky. Although there are numerous subsets of Immortal Science, conflicts may arise with others in the same subset. If someone forcefully advances to Supreme in the same subset, the original Supreme will undoubtedly suffer severely.

Even to the point where the Supreme’s life energy is halved!

It’s incredibly terrifying, and elderly Supremes perishing from life energy exhaustion is highly possible.

There will also be an indescribable sensation between the old Supreme and the new Elite, not knowing the exact location, but they’ll certainly sense a great threat forming.

If this were ancient times, it would definitely be a life-and-death struggle of the Dao. The old Supreme would attempt to eliminate the unformed Elite and extinguish their lineage, while the newly risen Elite would frantically flee, planning for their advancement. The tales within are full of intrigue and bloodshed, plunging a Medium Thousand World community into bloody and terrifying wars, where countless cultivators die as if mountains and seas fall.

Even in the present Supreme Great Sun Immortal Dynasty, it’s still a life-and-death Dao struggle!

However, the means of struggle have changed.

No longer direct and bloody warfare, but rather competition within the framework of the Immortal Dynasty. This includes smearing the opponent’s laboratory in the media, cutting off research funding, poaching talent with heavy investments, deliberately publishing some valuable but trap-laden reviews in second-rate journals, using legitimate administrative measures to suppress, and so on...

One could say, except for not killing directly, the Supremes are fighting to the death in the competition.

Because it really is life-threatening!

Therefore, in the Supreme Great Sun Immortal Dynasty, no Supreme ever secludes themselves for several hundred thousand years without managing affairs. Every Supreme must regularly read journals, participate in Immortal Dao research and development, and enhance their Immortal foundation, or else they might be forced to give way to new rising Elites.

This situation exists in the Immortal Dynasty, but not widely.

More young Elites focus on new technological breakthroughs, in new branches of Immortal Science, as technological advancements have been so numerous in recent years that there’s no need to compete with old Supremes, which is more challenging.

The Immortal Dynasty’s system is one that compels and encourages Immortal Tao Scientists to constantly strive upward, with those lagging behind destined to be eliminated.

Within the Supreme Great Sun Celestial Pivot.

Jiang Ding remained completely motionless, like a statue entwined with grass and human likeness, not moving for two million years, seemingly dead.

Only the continuously flickering black and white light in his eye sockets indicated that his Divine Soul was calculating frantically.

"... The super engineering experimental model of the Nine Character Immortal Scripture has been further streamlined; it’s estimated the Immortal Dynasty will need only three billion years to accumulate resources for one experiment."

"... Significant progress has been made in decrypting the Grass Character Immortal Sword Scripture, expected to succeed within at most five hundred thousand years, or if unexpected occurrences arise, burn the Great Sun Immortal Mortal Sword Soul to forcibly Enlighten the Dao as a last resort... This is the foundation of this sovereign as the reigning emperor."

Jiang Ding had numerous thoughts emerging in his heart.

His Divine Soul computational power linked to the Great Dream Sword Realm, thereby directly communicating with innumerable Emperor Realm, Quasi-Emperor, and Supreme laboratories of the Immortal Dynasty, constantly exchanging ideas with countless Immortal Dynasty scientists, collaboratively exploring one Immortal Dao direction after another.

Hundreds of thousands of conjectures surged in his mind every moment, thousands getting verified or disproven by those labs, keeping him extremely busy.

"The Financial Fortune Dao, further thriving..."

Jiang Ding glanced at a report handed in by the Empress, where certain items were particularly marked in red pen.

Jiang Ding’s gaze moved towards the realm of Cause and Effect, immediately observing in the capital of Vega Grand Thousand World within the Vega Star Domain a gigantic laboratory constructed by the Xianmen Sect’s Financial Division Elites, True Dragon Immortal Clan, Tianji, and other Immortal Sects. The golden Destiny light soared, reflecting numerous Medium and Minor Thousand Worlds.

Notably, the specifications of this gigantic laboratory were exceedingly high!

There were as many as three hundred twenty-eight Quasi-Emperor Cultivators, even with the avatars of three Emperor Realm Cultivators permanently stationed, with countless Supreme-level teams under them. Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure experimental materials were at their disposal, such extravagance almost rivaling the subprojects of an Immortal Dynasty-level project heavily focused on by the Human Emperor.

"Whose influence is that vast?"

"Able to organize so many people for a civilian project, quite significant ability."

Jiang Ding slightly furrowed his brows.

He casually simulated outcomes, gazing into the past Time River, as scenes from this laboratory’s history unfolded before his eyes, passing one after another.

The result emerged immediately.

"Money."

"It’s the influence of money, the ability of money."

Jiang Ding muttered, "In a country of Immortal Industry, the ability of Financial Fortune Dao to create wealth is extraordinarily strong. These Financial Fortune Cultivators acquire money through investments in stocks, futures, angel investments, and other methods, subsequently obtaining more money through storytelling and dreams... Thus gathering so many strong individuals to work for them."

"The momentum is extremely fierce, the quantity and influence of Financial Fortune Dao papers published in the last hundred thousand years exceed those of the past millions."

"The Financial Fortune Dao is at the brink of an imminent explosion!"

"If the first Financial Fortune Dao Emperor Cultivator emerges... This Emperor Cultivator possesses the capability to disrupt the financial order of the Immortal Dynasty, triggering a depression across trades, causing a financial crisis where numerous cultivators go bankrupt and become homeless!"

"Damn!"

Jiang Ding simulated for a moment, then outrageously cursed.

These Financial Fortune Dao Cultivators truly have the potential to instigate chaos, capable of causing major destruction within the Immortal Dynasty even in the era of the Human Emperor. With such capability, it’s akin to a super bacteria in the hospital, targeting the mega Immortal Industry system of the Supreme Great Sun Immortal Dynasty, wielding nuclear-level destructive power in internal conflicts.

And yet, their capabilities in external battles are like that of a stray dog.

The Human Emperor’s historical dislike for the Financial Fortune Dao was not without reason, having foreseen the dangers and uncontrollability of finance, and taking some measures, but still couldn’t prevent it.

"Should I...?"

Jiang Ding had some inexplicable thoughts arise in his heart.

Such abrupt interruption, he really did not favor, as it could cause permanent damage to the efficiency of the Immortal Dynasty’s organization.
