Chapter 740 The poorest man in history, he is a god (6210+ views today)

Upon hearing what Fu Xiantian said, Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback. Countless thoughts surged through his mind as he quickly pondered the basis and intention behind Fu Xiantian's words.

Fu Xiantian then said, "The reason I know these things is simple: the Book of Evil Gods can reveal traces of evil gods."

"According to the records in the Book of Evil Gods, and judging from the people who appeared at the scene one after another, it was you who took Xi Shen to the battlefield, while Bai Zhenzhen took Fu Shen to the battlefield."

"Shortly after you reunited, the God of Fortune still existed, but the God of Happiness had completely disappeared."

Fu Xiantian stared into Zhang Yu's eyes and said, "God of Fortune... has eaten God of Happiness?"

"The only reason you would be willing to hand over the God of Happiness is if you are a believer in the God of Fortune."

Zhang Yu looked calmly at Fu Xiantian, seemingly not flustered at all by the fact that the other party had seen through the truth, or rather, he knew that whether he was flustered or not would be of no use at this moment.

Secondly, his relationship with the God of Fortune is not like that of some other evil gods and their followers. He and the Goddess of Fortune did not have any agreement or vow that they would be silenced if their identities were exposed. Therefore, Fu Xiantian's simple insight into the truth could not pose a direct threat to Zhang Yu's life.

Fu Xiantian continued, "If your identity as a follower of this evil god is exposed, do you think they will still trust you?"

Meeting Fu Xiantian's gaze, Zhang Yu said calmly, "Who would believe what you're saying?"

"Should we believe you, the leader of the Righteous Alliance, a madman who wants to kill billions of living beings, or should we believe me, the person who gave them a job worth billions of spirit coins?"

Zhang Yu sighed, "Most people on floors 2 to 5 just want to make more money, live a better life, and go further on the path of immortality."

"So whoever can make money for them is a god to them. If an evil god can give them a good job, then the evil god can also be a god."

Fu Xiantian nodded, seemingly already anticipating how many people would disbelieve the revelation and even defend Zhang Yu after the news broke.

But the next moment, Fu Xiantian pointed out the flaw in Zhang Yu's words: "It's nothing but profit-seeking. You're using profit to coerce them now, but what about after the Heavenly Court descends? Will you still be able to keep so many people under your control?"

"Even if they continue to trust you, what about Heaven? You can't escape Heaven's reckoning."

Everything you have will eventually be taken away.

"Levels 2 to 5 of Kunxu will also be restored to their original state..."

"And you can't stop me now."

Fu Xiantian looked at Zhang Yu seriously and finally said, "But Zhang Yu, you have potential, so I'm willing to give you a chance. Until the moment this world is destroyed, I'm willing to give you a chance."

As Zhang Yu watched Fu Xiantian's disappearing projection, he felt an increasing heaviness in his heart.

He originally thought that Fu Xiantian had come to negotiate with him and was threatening him by using his identity as a follower of an evil god.

But after the conversation, he realized he was wrong.

"It was more like an interview than a negotiation."

“Just like our last conversation…” Zhang Yu looked up at the sky, watching the sky gradually descend, and thought to himself, “This guy wants to use this conversation to confirm my character and thoughts, to confirm whether I am qualified to join his plan.”

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu's heart sank: "Does this mean that Fu Xiantian is full of confidence and doesn't think he will lose even now?"

Various thoughts flashed through Zhang Yu's mind. He had already shaken off these distractions and refocused his attention on the construction site in front of him.

No matter how much confidence Fu Xiantian had, it could not change Zhang Yu's determination at this moment.

Suddenly, the earth's Fiendish gravitational forces erupted from his body, causing the earth to surge, mountains and rivers to shatter, and the entire construction site to undergo a complete transformation.

At this moment, in order to speed up the transformation of the Starry Sky Array, Zhang Yu himself joined the project. He, along with 15 demon beast clones and the Heavenly Sun God, took action together, and every move they made was a world-shaking action.

As for the demon beast clone that inherited the memories of the Immortal Slayer True Monarch, it was naturally still imprisoned.

Meanwhile, not far from Zhang Yu's cultivation session, at a construction site, Jin Jun, wielding the Heavenly Sun God, was also carrying out civil engineering tasks.

Watching Jin Jun digging around in the soil, Zhang Yu couldn't help but say, "Jin, if you're not good at civil engineering, you should just go back to the lab."

Jin Jun quickly said, "Mr. Zhang, actually I've loved construction sites since I was a child. I wanted to study civil engineering in my senior year of high school, but my dad wouldn't let me, so he made me study weapon crafting instead."

"Now that I finally have this opportunity, I'd like to learn more from you on the construction site. Every time I see you, I feel myself improving."

Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "Go ahead and dig if you want, but remember to follow the task requirements. If it's not up to standard, you'll have to redo it."

With the influx of hundreds of billions of spirit coins, the entire fifth level of Kunxu was instantly transformed into a large factory under Zhang Yu's guidance.

Billions of people surged into the fifth floor like a torrent, and guided by countless soul cultivators, spirit world projections, and construction site missions, they rushed to various parts of the fifth floor, propelling the formation modification project to completion at an unprecedented speed.

When the first phase of the renovation project was completed, beams of earthly energies rose from the star array and shot straight into the sky, like black pillars reaching towards the ever-falling heavens.

As more and more tasks were completed, more and more black pillars of light rose toward the sky, trying their best to stop the collapse of the heavens.

At the same time, the modification of the outer formation also led to changes in the inner formation. The ten Nascent Soul cultivators within the Zhou Tian Milky Way Formation felt streams of spiritual energy flowing towards them, and strands of formation power began to empower them, restoring their condition and strengthening their power.

Yu Xinghan looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with various data about the impending collapse.

"The speed at which the sky is falling... is decreasing." Yu Xinghan thought to himself, "A hundred billion repairs to the sky are worth it!"

But soon, Yu Xinghan realized that although the speed of falling had slowed down, it had never really stopped.

Looking at the data, Yu Xinghan secretly estimated, "At most 3 or 4 days, the falling sky will still smash through the entire fifth floor."

"Damn it, after expending so much manpower and resources, we still can't stop Fu Xiantian?"

On the other side of the battlefield, in the realm of Nascent Souls.

Looking at the still descending sky, the Magnetic God sighed, "If even a five-layered arrangement can only temporarily stop the sky from falling, then after it breaks through the five layers, the fourth, third, and second layers will probably be even more unable to withstand it. At that time, the collapse of the sky will be even faster."

Qingmu Shenjun said helplessly, "The civil engineering was very strong in the past. After all, the construction of the entire Kunxu was inseparable from various civil engineering techniques. But just like the craftsmen who built the imperial tombs in ancient times, after Kunxu was completed, all kinds of powerful civil engineering techniques were sealed off."

"With the civil engineering technology we currently possess, even if we invest a tremendous amount of manpower and resources, we will ultimately find it difficult to stop the Fuxiantian, the sect's most treasured artifact."

On the construction site.

The figure of True Lord Xinghuo flashed at high speed, constantly breaking through the rubble and completing one civil engineering task after another, laying the foundation for the transformation of the formation.

Meanwhile, he glanced at the sky from time to time, sighing in his heart, "Is it still no use? Then the only hope is that in these four or five days that we can delay, a heavenly court can be summoned."

Outside the buildings.

Then they saw Bai Zhenzhen wielding streaks of incandescent sword energy, cutting down building after building and continuously completing the demolition task, laying the groundwork for the subsequent expansion of the formation.

Looking at the sky still falling, Bai Zhenzhen's face was full of worry: "Why is it still falling? Damn it, we've spent so much money, and this is still not enough? Isn't all that money wasted? Then Yu Zi and I will be penniless for nothing? We'll die penniless?"

Chang Buxiu was still pushing a cart, transporting materials around the construction site.

He would look up at the sky from time to time, and his eyes would occasionally flash with various messages from the spirit world. Posts calculating the speed of the collapse of the sky could be seen everywhere.

Looking at all this, Chang Buxiu thought to himself, "I finally got triple pay, I finally made so much money, how can I let you ruin everything?"

"Keep going!"

Thinking of this, Chang Buxiu sped up again and even took an extra dose of potent medicine from the supply point, swallowing it in one gulp.

As Le Mulan distributed the medicine, she gazed at the increasingly gloomy sky as it descended, feeling as if the sky were a giant, all-encompassing hand about to fall and crush everyone to death.

Le Mulan's heart seemed to sink along with the falling sky: "Even 10 billion spirit coins can't stop it?"

More and more people noticed the ongoing collapse, especially those working on the fifth floor of the construction site, who watched as the sky continued to fall at a visible speed.

The feeling of watching the heavens and earth be destroyed, the world be destroyed, is an immense psychological pressure for anyone.

Especially after discovering that even the Divine Lords who had transformed into gods were supporting the heavens and earth, and that billions of spirit coins were used to mend the sky, they still could not completely stop the collapse of the heavens. This was an even greater blow to the people of Kunxu.

"Even billions of dollars to mend the sky won't work? What else can stop the sky from collapsing?"

As time went by, despair gradually spread in the hearts of countless people.

In particular, many people, after receiving triple pay and seeing their accounts filled with ever-growing spirit coins, felt increasingly resentful and desperate about the impending world destruction and their impending death.

As this despair persisted until the final day of the collapse, as people gazed at the ever-approaching sky and felt the increasingly terrifying oppression, even some Kunxu residents stopped working, wanting to escape the fifth level...

Zhao Tianxing sent a message to Zhang Yu: "Manager Zhang, more and more people are leaving their posts. What should we do?"

Yu Xinghan: The collapse of heavens is accelerating again!

Feng Tingting: True Lord Zhuyi, even a Nascent Soul cultivator can't hold on any longer.

Yingxin: My Lord! We're running out of funds!

Looking at the urgent messages, Zhang Yu seemed to see countless panicked faces.

"sister."

Zhang Yu's figure gradually flew towards the sky. He looked towards the heavens and slowly said, "The method you mentioned before, is it true?"

Zhang Pianpian said, "Of course it's true, but you've already used up all your money, so this method won't work anymore."

"But you don't need to regret it. Since even 10 billion spirit coins couldn't completely stop the collapse of the sky, even if you spend 10 billion spirit coins on my method, it probably still won't stop the collapse of the sky."

"I just hope that the Heavenly Court will descend before the sky completely breaks through the second to fifth layers."

Zhang Pianpian sighed and reminded him, "Zhang Yu, perhaps we should start preparing to evacuate people from the 5th floor."

Looking at the sky so close at hand, Zhang Yu's gaze gradually hardened: "No, there's still money."

Zhang Pianpian asked doubtfully, "There's still money?"

As far as Zhang Pianpian knew, all of Zhang Yu's assets, all the money he could borrow, and all the investments he had secured should have been invested in the 10 billion yuan Sky-Mending Project.

Zhang Yu did not answer, but took a deep breath, having already made up his mind.

The next moment, Zhang Yu had once again projected his image to all directions.

"As you all probably know, the sky is about to smash through the fifth layer."

"Once the sky falls to the ground, it will quickly penetrate five layers, break the formation, kill all the Nascent Soul Gods, and smash through the remaining four to two layers at an even faster speed."

"To stop all this, I need to use spirit coins to activate the divine power system and unleash the power of the righteous god's talisman. I need a lot of spirit coins."

"Therefore, I decided to issue corporate bonds to raise funds from the public."

"I have set the interest rate on the bonds at three times the market average."

Just as Zhang Yu was speaking, bonds called "Yu Bonds" began to be sold.

"Everyone should already know about my credit. I will definitely repay this bond. Even if I can't repay it myself, the whole company will repay it."

"Even if I have to sacrifice the future of cloud sharing, lending platforms, construction companies... even if I have to sacrifice all the profits of all these companies, I will definitely pay it back."

Zhang Yu shouted to the entire area from the 2nd to the 5th floor: "Everyone... please lend me your money! Let's stop the sky from collapsing! Let's survive together! Let's make a fortune together!"

At this moment, Zhang Yu sent the sales link for "Feather Debt" to everyone he could contact through the spirit world, from the second to the fifth floor of Kunxu.

The college graduate Zhenjun, who was working on a construction site to earn money, exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this scene: "Borrowing money from the whole world? Is this guy planning to run away?"

The Devouring Heaven True Monarch roared, "Damn it, you're trying to scam me out of money? No way! Not a single penny!"

Meanwhile, True Monarch Liu Jin silently calculated in his mind, thinking to himself, "It seems... I can buy it."

Soon, the Great Master and the Devouring Heaven Master discovered that the sales of Feather Bonds had begun to increase.

Zhao Tianxing silently invested all his spirit coins into the Feather Debt, and his entire being quickly frozen in place, ceasing all thought.

After selling all her potions and mortgaging her magic body, Le Mulan transferred the money to Zhang Yu.

Yu Xinghan checked various lending platforms and then transferred the money to Zhang Yu.

The Spirit of the Heavenly Sword looked at Bai Zhenzhen with a mixture of shock and anger and said, "You're going to pawn me?! Aren't you afraid he'll run off with the money? If he can't pay it back, I'm no longer yours."

Bai Zhenzhen said, "I want to help him."

The Spirit of the Heavenly Sword sighed, "How did my Extreme Emotion lineage become like this!"

With a heavy heart, Shi Huaiyu sold all his stocks and cryptocurrencies, and while buying Feather Bonds, he said with tears in his eyes, "Damn it... you have to break the ceiling for me. This is the biggest investment of my life. If I lose, I will not only lose myself, but also all my money."

Xiao Yunji, who had already reached the Golden Core realm, was currently transporting supplies in her high-speed train form, a top student in the Civil Engineering department. Seeing the Feather Debt link pop up, she silently chose to purchase it.

Chang Buxiu frantically tapped the Feather Debt icon that appeared in his eye sockets, throwing all his spirit coins into it in one go. He roared in his heart, "True Lord Zhuyi is going to lead everyone to make money and share all the company's future profits with everyone!"

In the spirit world network, Ji Yuanshu, who was operating the engineering equipment, also purchased Feather Debt.

Having once racked up multiple credit card debts and ultimately gone bankrupt due to a backlash of bad luck, he hasn't invested in anything for a very long time since becoming a soul cultivator.

But at this moment, he decided to take another important gamble in his life.

Having once been the master of the sixth floor, he thought to himself, "Zhang Yu, save the fifth floor. At least... don't let it be destroyed like the sixth floor."

Amidst the constant vibrations of the concrete, Ping Han, a soul cultivator, was controlling the vibrating magic weapon to continuously shake up and down.

In order to advance the Sky Repair Project, criminals like him were allowed to temporarily join the construction site.

The only difference is that he changed from manipulating the vibration of the genitals to manipulating the vibration of the vibrating magic weapon.

Upon seeing the pop-up Feather Debt link, Ping Han immediately chose to buy it, investing all the spirit coins he had earned from working over the past few days.

Knowing what he had done, Fu Xinyao exclaimed in surprise, "You lent money to Zhang Yu?"

“What do you mean by borrowing money? This is called investing.” Ping Han said calmly, “Although Zhang Yu and I have a grudge, it will not affect my investment philosophy.”

Ping Han analyzed carefully: "If Zhang Yu successfully blocked the collapse of the sky and we all survived, this debt of feathers will definitely benefit me."

"But if Zhang Yu fails, we will all die. What use is this money then?"

"Besides, I've researched the companies under Zhang Yu's name. The Shared Cloud Hidden Future alone contains countless profits, and with the backing of the major Nascent Soul cultivators and the Ten Schools, he'll definitely be able to pay back the money."

As he spoke, still trembling, he said, "My life has been full of ups and downs, countless storms and waves. I've soared to the clouds and plummeted to the bottom of the mud, and I've experienced bankruptcy ten times. But based on my investment experience, this time is a gamble, this time... I will definitely win!"

"As for the medicine for your heart, I advise you to buy it as soon as possible, for the sake of our years of working together."

“What you said makes some sense.” Fu Xinyao shook the vibrating magic weapon in her hand and nodded slowly.

At first, the sales figures for Feather Bonds only grew slowly, but soon they started to grow faster and faster, expanding at an astonishing rate.

According to the observation of the Evil Lotus God, the debt behind Zhang Yu continued to rise wildly, gradually swallowing everything around him like a black hole.

"1 billion...2 billion..."

Lord Nielian exclaimed in alarm, "How many spirit coins can this guy owe if he keeps going on like this?"

As the Thousand Puppet God-Monarch of Immortal Soldier University watched the numbers flash before his eyes, he estimated, "5 billion? 10 billion? Damn it, how can these poor bastards trust him so much? Now look what's happened, Zhang Yu has borrowed back the spirit coins he just spent not long ago?"

Looking at the ever-expanding debt behind Zhang Yu, which resembled a black hole, the Yinquan Divine Lord's admiration grew even stronger: "In one round, he made 20 billion out of 10 billion, truly ingenious. If there is an opportunity in the future, I really want to have a good exchange with my young friend Zhang Yu and learn from his experience."

After saying that, Lord Yinquan also purchased a large amount of Feather Debt.

The wise and powerful deity of King Kong University, the university president who helped Zhang Yu develop his Nascent Soul, exclaimed, "It's not just that 10 billion has produced the effect of 20 billion; this 10 billion debt will become Zhang Yu's greatest talisman from now on."

As he spoke, Lord Zhipan had already silently begun purchasing Feather Bonds.

...

At the construction site, the Master of Miraculous Hands said, "Zhang Yu... owes hundreds of billions of spirit coins. Even if he successfully prevents the collapse of the heavens and saves the world, how long will it take him to repay his debts? The profits of his companies will probably all be used to pay off his debts."

The Heavenly Slaughter True Monarch shook his head and said, "Miracle Hand, didn't you understand? This is the most amazing part."

"If he didn't have any debts, do you think that after the higher-ups step down, the Shared Cloud Treasury would still belong to him?"

The Heavenly Killing True Monarch sighed, "The debt of over 10 billion spirit coins has instantly turned Zhang Yu and his company from a hot commodity into a hot potato, eliminating a large number of people who might have designs on him."

"But that's not all, the next step is even more amazing."

The Heavenly Slaughter True Monarch watched as the divine light in the sky gradually surged, and as the divine power network began to boil with the massive influx of funds.

"Because this money was invested in the Divine Power Network, it's equivalent to handing it over to the Heavenly Court. Who can renege on this debt?"

Heavenly Slaughter True Lord turned his head and looked at Wonderful Hands True Lord, saying, "If you were a true god, and after you descended to the 5th level, you found that your divine power network account suddenly had an extra 10 billion spirit coins, what would you think?"

The Master of Miraculous Hands was slightly taken aback. He looked at Zhang Yu, who was shrouded in layers of divine light in the sky, and exclaimed, "He is the true god."

After saying that, the two Nascent Soul True Monarchs also purchased Feather Bonds.

Meanwhile, the Great Master looked at the Golden Master and exclaimed in surprise, "You mean the Heavenly Court will definitely protect him?"

The Golden Lord said, "If even those who spent 10 billion can't be saved, then the righteous gods of Heaven should just give up. So the outcome of this round is very simple: either everyone dies and goes bankrupt together, or everyone lives and makes money together, and Zhang Yu... he will become the poorest person in history."

Seeing the Devouring Heaven True Lord and the College True Lord silently buying Feather Bonds, the Golden Flowing True Lord, a graduate of the Finance Department of the Netherworld University, had a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"A bunch of people with low education levels. If you hadn't joined the Righteous Alliance, and if construction work doesn't have educational requirements, how would you have run into me and gotten any guidance?"

Of course, when Master Liujin guides someone to invest, it's not for their own good.

He simply hoped that more people would buy Yu bonds, increasing Zhang Yu's success rate and reducing the risk of his investment this time.

At this moment, cultivators at the Nascent Soul, Golden Core, Foundation Establishment, and even Qi Refining stages all began frantically buying Feather Bonds.

Perhaps not everyone working on the fifth floor bought Feather Bonds, but many people who didn't work on the fifth floor also invested their funds in Feather Bonds at this moment.

At this moment, Zhang Yu, who had a huge amount of money at his disposal, had become the richest person on floors 2 to 5.

However, as he continuously invests this massive amount of spirit coins into the divine power network, his debt continues to balloon, and he is destined to become the poorest person.

After the original gods disappeared, cultivators on levels 2 to 5 were no longer able to activate the Heavenly Court system's talismans using spirit coins.

But at this moment, under the guidance of Zhang Pianpian, who had transformed into a demigod, and as Zhang Yu poured wave after wave of spirit coins into the divine power network, the long-dormant orthodox talismans began to awaken.
