Chapter 739 10 Billion to Mending the Sky (Bonus Chapter 1140+, guaranteed monthly votes available on the last day of this month)

After receiving investment from the Ten Schools of Nascent Soul, Zhang Yu did not stop there, but instead set his sights on the Righteous Alliance.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "The ten schools have already contributed money and effort; the Righteous Alliance can't just sit back and reap the benefits."

A map of the entire fifth level of Kunxu, along with various coordinate points, appeared in Zhang Yu's eyes.

Zhang Pianpian's voice followed: "I checked the video records of all the divine power networks over the past year and tried my best to find the approximate locations where the various Nascent Soul cultivators of the Righteous Alliance stored their immortal resources."

Zhang Yu shared the map and coordinates with Bai Zhenzhen beside him, and then said, "Zhenzhen, let's go raid their house together."

Bai Zhenzhen: "What kind of house are you raiding?"

Zhang Yu: "The home of those Nascent Soul cultivators in the Righteous Alliance."

Upon hearing Zhang Yu's answer, Bai Zhenzhen was first startled, then overjoyed, thinking to herself, "Our family is going to be rich again! We can finally make up for the money we spent last time."

She laughed heartily and exclaimed, "Dad! I love you so much!"

The two walked hand in hand, leaving a long white line in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at a stronghold of the Righteous Alliance.

The surging, intense sword energy swept down, completely dismantling the building's defenses.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yu activated the power of the immortal's descendant, breaking through the restrictions all the way, and in the blink of an eye arrived at the location where a certain Nascent Soul cultivator of the Righteous Alliance stored supplies.

After their frenzied advance, no one on the road could withstand them; they either knelt down in surrender or scattered and fled.

After all, with Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen's current combined combat power, apart from the Nascent Soul Divine Lords within the Zhou Tian Galaxy Array, no one can stop them. This is why Zhang Yu chose to act with Bai Zhenzhen.

Potions, magical artifacts, magical artifacts, medicinal herbs, and various raw materials... Looking at the dazzling array of supplies in the warehouse, Bai Zhenzhen gasped: "These Nascent Soul cultivators from the Righteous Alliance have stockpiled so much stuff?"

She casually picked up a bottle of potion and said, "Isn't this for Qi Refining stage cultivators? Even Nascent Soul stage cultivators store this? They'd rather keep it here than let Qi Refining cultivators outside use it?"

Zhang Yu then released a flying sword to scan and record all the supplies on site, and then called for people from the company to come and receive the supplies.

Upon hearing that Zhang Yu planned to sell these supplies to pay the workers' wages, Bai Zhenzhen, who had been overjoyed by the raid, exclaimed in surprise, "This...this...all of it will be paid out as wages?!"

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Sell if you can, otherwise just use these supplies as wages."

"According to the calculations of the teachers and senior students, in order to stop the collapse of the sky, the outer array would have to be expanded to at least the entire fifth floor."

"To complete such a large-scale project in a short period of time, it is necessary to mobilize as many people as possible."

"You can never have too much money."

Upon hearing Zhang Yu's answer, Bai Zhenzhen couldn't help but ask, "How much will it cost?"

Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "After we put all the money into our company's funds, plus the investment from the Ten Schools of Nascent Soul, plus the property that the Righteous Alliance can confiscate, it should be about enough."

Bang!

Upon hearing Zhang Yu's words, Bai Zhenzhen felt a tightness in her chest, as if she had been hit hard with a hammer, and her head was filled with a series of booming sounds.

"Fill it all in?!" Bai Zhenzhen said in disbelief, "Then all this trouble we went through to confiscate property... isn't that the same as giving away all the money of a Nascent Soul cultivator to others?"

Seeing Zhang Yu nod, Bai Zhenzhen said bitterly, "Yu Zi, at least leave some for ourselves, right?"

Zhang Yu took a deep breath and said, "Ah Zhen, I feel the pain too, but if I take some for myself and you take some for yourself, the people below will follow suit, and in the end everyone will have something in their hands. How much spirit currency will be left?"

"Now is a matter of life and death. Money can be earned back later, but at least everyone should survive first."

A moment later, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen had already breached three strongholds.

As supply depots were breached one after another, Bai Zhenzhen watched as large quantities of supplies were transported out, while she herself couldn't get a single drop. Tears welled up in her eyes without her realizing it.

Bai Zhenzhen cried as she asked, "Yu Zi, how much money will we have to spend?"

Zhang Yu said calmly, "Probably over 10 billion spirit coins."

Bai Zhenzhen's hand holding the sword trembled uncontrollably. Finally, she took a deep breath and said with difficulty, "Son, I can feel your determination. Go for it. If we end up penniless... we can always earn it back together later."

As the amount of property confiscated increased, Bai Zhenzhen gradually went from feeling resentful, heartbroken, and sad to becoming numb.

At first, the spirit of the Love Heaven Sword in her hand was somewhat skeptical of Zhang Yu's words, thinking to herself, "Can there really be such a person in this era? Could this kid Zhang Yu be saying this on purpose, pretending to throw money around, just to swallow Bai Zhenzhen's share?"

In Qing Tian Jian Ling's view, the Kunxu people of this era are far more likely to devise various tricks to embezzle their companions' money than to "spend money to give everyone in the world three times their salary".

But as she observed along the way, she gradually realized that Zhang Yu was really going to spend all his money, and she became increasingly shocked.

"That's insane."

Even in ancient times, the Sword Spirit of Love had never seen anyone squander their entire fortune like this.

"How is this any different from a sect distributing all its treasures to ordinary people down the mountain?"

The Spirit of the Heavenly Sword couldn't help but say to Bai Zhenzhen, "Has this guy always been this crazy?"

Bai Zhenzhen recalled Zhang Yu's appearance in high school and college, and slowly sighed, "Sometimes I feel that Yu Zi is like a long and thick sword that never changes shape and is not worn down by the environment. For him, if it can't be inserted, it's the scabbard's problem. He always makes the scabbard conform to his shape, forcing the people around him to adapt to him."

Seeing Zhang Yu wave his hand and order another large amount of supplies to be moved away, Bai Zhenzhen's eyes flickered slightly, and she had already captured this scene with her eyes.

Although they didn't earn a single spirit coin today, for some reason... Bai Zhenzhen felt that Zhang Yu's spending spree today was more memorable than any money-making activity in the past, as if it were a deep scar etched into her heart.

Even long afterward, she will never forget it.

As Zhang Yu continued his raids, the Righteous Alliance gradually began to react.

However, the Nascent Soul assets of the Righteous Alliance are all shrouded in various restrictions, making them difficult to transfer. So, when some cultivators of the Righteous Alliance met Zhang Yu, they proposed to cooperate in opening up the Nascent Soul assets and then splitting the profits among themselves... Naturally, Zhang Yu rejected them all.

They couldn't win if they resisted, and they were rejected if they cooperated. So, in the ensuing raid, the cultivators of the Righteous Alliance could only watch helplessly as Zhang Yu brutally broke through the layers of restrictions and transported out a massive amount of Nascent Soul assets.

After escaping from the battlefield, Dazhuan Zhenjun had been silently observing the situation.

At this moment, his eyes were red as he watched Zhang Yu break open another storage point for Nascent Soul assets. He was like a helpless husband standing outside the wall, watching Zhang Yu come and go, taking away everything he loved.

Whenever he saw the priceless, massive amount of supplies gushing out, he even felt excited.

The Great Master cursed himself: "Li Qiuxian! You're useless, Li Qiuxian! You just watched your own things get stolen, and you didn't even dare to step forward."

Just then, the eyes of the Great Master Zhenjun twitched slightly as he realized that someone had spoken in the Nascent Soul group of the Righteous Alliance.

Golden Lord: I've thought of a way to steal back the money Zhang Yu stole!

Devouring Heaven True Lord: What method?

Liangyan Zhenjun: I knew we hadn't lost yet, hurry up and tell me!

Upon seeing this sentence, the college student's eyes lit up, and he immediately began to look forward to the other party's solution.

At the same time, he also thought of the information about True Lord Liujin. This man had once studied the "Burning Dao Loan Life Scripture" in the Finance Department of Netherworld University, but was defeated by Zhang Yu three times. It is said that after his last resurrection, he was already full of debts and his cultivation had greatly declined, so he did not even have the qualifications to participate in the final battle.

However, it is precisely because of this that he has survived.

True Lord Liujin: Zhang Yu stole the money from the gods and used it to pay the construction site wages. So, if we just go work on the construction site, can't we just steal the money back? With our strength, can ordinary people outmaneuver us? This way, it's like we're directly robbing the gods' money without having to worry about conflict with them.

Devouring Heaven True Lord: You fucking... this is called working?

Liangyan Zhenjun: Besides, our identities are all in the dark, so how are we supposed to find work?

True Monarch Liujin: I've seen Zhang Yu's job posting. There are no restrictions on education, age, or cultivation level. They even accept members of the Righteous Alliance and pay them the same, as long as they're willing to be monitored.

Devouring Heaven True Monarch: You brat, you want to betray the Righteous Alliance?!

True Monarch Liujin: Betrayal what? The Alliance Leader has caused the sky to fall; he wants to kill us all. Even the Divine Lords have ascended to the heavens. What right do we have to betray him?

Liangyan Zhenjun: If we really help the Ten Schools win, won't the Heavenly Court be able to return?

The Golden True Lord declared proudly: "The current situation clearly leaves only two outcomes. Either the sky falls and we all die together, or the sky doesn't fall and the Heavenly Court arrives in the end."

The Golden Immortal analyzed: "We either wait to die, or we work while waiting to die. If the Heavenly Court descends in the end, at least we can pay more fines and suffer less."

Liu Jin Zhenjun has been banned from speaking.

Looking at the silent group, the Great Master True Monarch could sense that... with the words of the Golden True Monarch, the Nascent Soul True Monarchs in the group were probably also experiencing ups and downs.

The College Student True Lord thought to himself, "Should I go work for Zhang Yu?"

On the other hand, as Zhang Yu broke through most of the Nascent Soul assets on the fifth floor of Kunxu, he also began to ask Zhang Pianpian to help check whether there were any assets belonging to the Righteous Alliance on the second to fourth floors.

As for the first floor, the passage between it and the second floor was completely sealed off by the Heavenly Court when the world underwent a great change, so there's no need to consider it anymore.

Just then, an unfamiliar account started communicating with Zhang Yu; it was none other than the Chain Pivot Divine Lord of the Righteous Alliance.

All that could be heard was the cold voice of Lord Chain Pivot: "Zhang Yu, have you taken enough? If you keep ransacking our homes like this, aren't you afraid we'll stop cooperating?"

At this moment, within the Zhou Tian Milky Way Formation, in addition to the Nascent Soul cultivators from the ten schools, there are also many Nascent Soul cultivators from the Righteous Alliance working together to prevent the collapse of the heavens.

Without the support of the Righteous Alliance and other Nascent Soul cultivators, the collapse of the heavens would likely proceed at an alarming rate.

Zhang Yu said, "Chain Pivot God, you now only have two choices."

"Either sit idly by and watch Fuxiantian successfully destroy the world, and you die before you've even spent all your money."

"Either join me in stopping the collapse, or at least we'll survive, no matter how much money we have left."

After an argument, the two sides parted on bad terms.

But Zhang Yu knew that these Nascent Soul cultivators from the Righteous Alliance, especially those with financial backgrounds, would never stop trying to stop the collapse of the heavens, simply because they were rational enough and absolutely driven by self-interest.

The idea of ​​mutual destruction is simply not going to happen to them.

Zhang Yu hadn't particularly liked the style of the finance department before, but at this moment, he suddenly felt that this style wasn't bad at all.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "The various personalities, styles, and customs of the Kunxu people are not entirely without merit."

While Zhang Yu was frantically raiding the Righteous Alliance's territory, a large amount of their resources were being sold off.

Because Zhang Yu was in a hurry to cash out, these supplies from the Righteous Alliance were dumped at low prices to the top ten universities and many Nascent Soul cultivators in those universities, frantically extracting spirit coins from them.

The ten Nascent Soul cultivators, who had already been fighting for a long time and had also provided support to Zhang Yu, were now facing an unprecedented low in cash flow.

However, since the Righteous Alliance's supplies were sold at low prices, there was still a profit to be made, and the ten Nascent Soul cultivators were quite cooperative in this regard.

More and more funds poured into Zhang Yu's company account, and a massive number of job postings were approved one by one. Among them, the first to be recruited were all kinds of soul cultivators.

Zhang Yu understood that to manage and direct a project that unites the entire world, the support of a massive number of soul cultivators was indispensable, especially in this situation without righteous gods, where a large number of soul cultivators were needed to complete tasks such as monitoring, guiding, recording, and operating equipment.

Therefore, under Zhang Yu's orders, the company's top priority for recruitment is now soul cultivators.

A massive number of soul cultivators traversed the spirit realm and, according to the construction plan, were placed in various corners of the fifth level of Kunxu.

Having completed all these preparations, Zhang Yu understood that it was time to further intensify recruitment and promotion efforts.

Next... he wants all the cultivators in the world to work for him.

The next moment, countless screens on floors 2 to 5 of Kunxu flashed simultaneously, all of them forcibly inserting an advertisement.

On the screen, Zhang Yu stood on the fifth floor of Kunxu and said, "Those of you watching on the screen may already know, or may not know yet... the sky is about to collapse."

As Zhang Yu pointed to the sky, a scene of the sky collapsing appeared before countless people.

"So I decided to mend the sky."

"And in order to mend the sky, I decided to dedicate myself..."

A series of numbers appeared above Zhang Yu's head, with zeros appearing rapidly and increasing in the astonished gazes of the crowd.

10000!

100,000!

1,000,000!

...

On the construction site, Zhou Chechen and Lan Ling watched the numbers on the screen continue to grow. They felt that each increase of 0 carried an earth-shattering pressure, making them feel suffocated.

Zhou Chechen asked blankly, "Zhang Yu... has become this rich?"

In the eyes of this former student council president of Songyang High School, Zhang Yu could practically buy the entire Songyang High School now—no, he could buy an entire floor!

On the other side, Lanling trembled and said, "It's still rising! It's still rising! How can there be so much money? Is this even human? Is this even human?"

100000000!

Ye Lingxiao, who was on the 1.5th floor, exclaimed inwardly, "One hundred million spirit coins?!"

Looking at those terrifying numbers, he felt that Zhang Yu on the screen was like a god, even more divine than a Nascent Soul cultivator, even more divine than a True God, and was the true god of the 5th level at this moment!

1000000000!

"1 billion spirit coins!" Wang Yin looked at the number on the screen and felt as if there was a magic power in it, making the surrounding air heavy and making him want to kneel down and worship.

He wasn't worshipping Zhang Yu, but rather the 1 billion spirit coins, because in Kunxu, that much money was heaven, earth, a miracle, and the very essence of the Dao.

At this moment, Wang Yin felt that whatever Zhang Yu said next would be right, because how could someone who was rich to this extent be wrong?

10000000000!

Looking at those numbers, even Kuang Tianqing's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but accelerate the circulation of his magic power, causing his magical body to show signs of overload.

"10 billion spirit coins? 10 billion spirit coins? Zhang Yu is going to spend 10 billion spirit coins?"

Even this cultivator with memories of his sect was stunned when he saw the 10 billion spirit coins, and was deeply shocked.

He couldn't help but think: "If the true gods were still alive, if the spirit world could still communicate with them, what would Zhang Yu be like now? The earth would probably change shape according to his will, the heavens would sing praises to him, all the gods would prostrate themselves before him, and the world would revolve around his will..."

At the same time, Zhang Yu on the screen said firmly, word by word, "In order to stop the collapse of the heavens, I have decided to invest 10 billion spirit coins."

"If 10 billion isn't enough, I'll sell my company shares, my magical artifacts, my magical remains, my physical body, my seed... Even if it means going bankrupt, I will stop the collapse of the heavens this time."

"From now on, I, Zhang Yu, will be the sole recruiter of all people under heaven, and I will provide all the jobs in the world."

"I hire the people they don't want, and I raise the wages they're afraid to raise."

"Triple wages, unlimited job openings—this is the billion-dollar sky-repairing project!"

"I'll make the heavens stand up for me!"

At this moment, an immense pressure enveloped the heavens and earth, and Zhang Yu's figure was deeply imprinted in everyone's eyes.

With his own power, he recruited the entire world! At this moment, Zhang Yu, who held billions in his hands, was a god in everyone's eyes! And his words were the laws of heaven, and the direction he pointed to was the future.

As Zhang Yu's words resounded throughout Kunxu from the 2nd to the 5th floor, countless people followed the direction of Zhang Yu's finger and began to converge on the 5th floor like a torrent.

Zhang Yu on the screen didn't stop. He pointed his finger at the ground on the fifth floor of Kunxu and said, "Go to work."

"I've put all 10 billion spirit coins on the fifth floor."

Suddenly, the billions in his hand split into countless tiny numbers, which were then thrown across the entire fifth level of the earth, connecting them to one engineering task after another.

In an instant, countless question mark projections appeared on the entire fifth level of the earth. Under the monitoring of the soul cultivators, each question mark projection represented a different task. As long as the task was completed, they could obtain the spirit coins invested by Zhang Yu.

"If you want spirit coins, go to work!"

In the sky, waves of people surged up like a flood, breaking through the barriers between heaven and earth, rushing towards the fifth floor, towards the construction site, and towards their work.

From this moment on, regardless of whether they were human or demon, male or female, or from ten schools or junior colleges, all the people of Kunxu on floors 2 to 5 poured out.

The fear of the sky collapsing? The threat of death? No... At this moment, all they could see was the desire for money, the desire for wealth, and the desire for the billions of spirit coins in Zhang Yu's hands.

For the sake of spirit coins, they would shatter the earth and even repair a collapsing sky.

As the crowd surged, Yingxin was shocked to discover that the company's performance was skyrocketing. Whether it was the loan platform or Taixu Yunzang, the number of users had experienced another surge.

Ying Xin exclaimed in shock, "In order to fly to the fifth floor for work, many people have rented the Taixu Cloud Treasury, and in order to rent the Taixu Cloud Treasury, many people have borrowed money from lending platforms."

At this moment, there are not many people working on the fifth floor, and most people are just starting their journey. Therefore, in Yingxin's eyes, the money in the company's account has not only not decreased, but has also begun to increase as the number of users of Shared Cloud Storage and the deposits have surged.

The astonishing number and terrifying speed of the surge made Yingxin's heart pound, as if she were watching a myth.

Ying Xin thought to herself, "President Zhang, was this all part of your plan? I'm truly impressed..."

On the other side, the construction site on the fifth floor was bustling with activity.

Having arrived earlier, Chang Buxiu watched Zhang Yu's video and felt his fighting spirit soar to the sky, his eyes constantly issuing warnings of his rapidly increasing magical power.

His feet left a trail of afterimages as he pushed the cart in front of him at breakneck speed.

"Ten billion spirit coins to pay triple wages? No wonder he's True Lord Zhuyi!" he roared inwardly. "He's giving us all his money as wages!"

"Let's give it our all!"

At this moment, Chang Buxiu had only one thought in his mind: working 24 hours a day was only the limit of this world, and refining Qi and exerting power was only the limit of this realm. Neither of them was the limit of his loyalty to True Lord Zhuyi.

Zhao Tianxing, Mo Tianyi, and other soul cultivators were also busy on the ground of the fifth level of Kunxu.

Watching countless Nascent Soul, Golden Core, Foundation Establishment, and Qi Refining cultivators pour out, transforming the world with Zhang Yu's single finger gesture, and seeing the 3x Spirit Coin quests covering the entire fifth level of the land, Zhao Tianxing felt nothing but excitement.

"Maximize the spirit world's data usage!" Zhao Tianxing: "Turn the projection screen to the lowest setting, and overload the performance mode! We're going to do ten times the work today!"

As the war intensified and civil engineering projects decreased, Su Yanyang felt his urge to sleep was returning. However, after seeing Zhang Yu's 10 billion yuan investment in repairing the sky, he felt a fire ignite in his heart, burning away his urge to sleep completely.

"The instructors at the rehabilitation center are right. It is true that raising salaries is the best way to suppress the 'two-day weekend virus'."

Su Yanyang thought to himself, "True Lord Zhuyi's move today, which tripled the salary for everyone in the world, will probably cure everyone in the world who has been infected with the Double Weekend Virus in one fell swoop."

Mo Shangjin walked out of the laboratory, sighing to himself, "I never thought that after all the effort I put in to get into the weapon crafting department and devote myself to the laboratory, I would end up back on the construction site."

"When I was in civil engineering, you were in weapon crafting. When I came to weapon crafting, you started investing money in civil engineering again."

“True Lord Zhuyi…you are truly unfathomable.”

The next moment, with the full power of the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Force at its peak, he rushed towards the fifth floor of the construction site.

In the mountains, as Gongshu Jin struck out with his palm, the divine power of Kunlun Mountain Moving suddenly circulated, tearing apart and shattering large sections of the mountain before turning them into dust and carrying them into the distance.

Having reached the Golden Core stage, mastered military-grade martial arts, and received triple pay... Recalling all of this, Gongshu Jin felt as if it were all a dream, and even the pain of his hometown being completely destroyed seemed to have lessened considerably.

“True Lord Zhuyi…” Gongshu Jin looked up at the sky: “Let’s hold this sky back up. We must not let the other levels… be destroyed like the fourth level.”

Inside the research institute's laboratory, Jin Jun was the first to rush out of the lab after Zhang Yu's video was played.

He pulled Bei Wufeng aside and said, "Why are we still waiting for the lab? Zhenjun is already at the construction site, let's hurry up and go too."

Jin Jun made up his mind that even if he had to dig, he would do it in front of Zhang Yu.

Bei Wufeng sighed inwardly, looking at the swarming demon descendants along the way, and thinking about how many billions of spirit coins would be sent to the demon descendants' accounts, he felt uncomfortable all over.

"Why should the demon race get triple pay?" Bei Wufeng thought to himself. "Giving them work is already doing them a favor."

...

As hundreds of millions of people continue to flock to the fifth level of Kunxu, the entire fifth level is undergoing earth-shattering changes every minute and every second. The transformation of the entire star array is being completed at an unprecedented speed.

It was at this time that Zhang Yu received a message from Fu Xiantian.

Although he had burned his physical body and cultivation to become the spirit of the Great Annihilation Final Scenery Mystic Seal, Fu Xiantian still retained his last memories of wisdom.

His projection landed in front of Zhang Yu, and he slowly said, "Was it worth it?"

Zhang Yu asked, "What are you referring to?"

Fu Xiantian said, "Is it worth burning billions just to save them?"

Zhang Yu said, "There's no question of whether it's worth it or not. They want to work, they want to earn money, and they want to use the money they earn to survive. That's why they oppose you, that's why they chose to mend the sky. That's the choice of everyone on Kunxu Levels 2 to 5. What's the problem?"

“If you think they’re wrong, then I’ve said it before… I’m wrong along with them.”

Fu Xiantian sighed and slowly said, "Human desires are endless. Born to pursue profit, they will eventually be completely distorted by the environment of Kunxu and become an incurable existence."

"Besides, even if you can save the second to fifth floors now, how will you deal with it after the Heavenly Court descends?"

“Zhang Yu, you are indeed very different. It would be such a pity if you died here or faced the Heavenly Court’s reckoning.”

Looking at Zhang Yu in front of him, Fu Xiantian stretched out his hand and extended his invitation again: "Come with me to the new world."

Zhang Yu ignored Fu Xiantian's outstretched hand and said, "What if I don't agree?"

Fu Xiantian lowered his gaze and said calmly, "Zhang Yu, you... are you a follower of the evil god? A follower of the god of fortune?"
