Chapter 743 The Master of the Hundred Billion Talismans

Looking at the unfamiliar names in his contacts, Zhang Yu did not reject them as he would any other strangers.

Because Yun Zhiguang had already become his friend without his application being approved.

Zhang Yu knew that this was not just a simple spirit coin, but also a manifestation of high-ranking power.

Anyone can become friends with whomever they want, without needing to apply or agree.

The next moment, as a projection descended, a woman named Yun Zhiguang, with the appearance of a young girl, appeared in front of Zhang Yu.

She glared fiercely at Zhang Yu and said, "My name is Yun Zhiguang, a disciple of the Wanfa Sect."

Looking at the other person's appearance, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "A disciple of a sect? His aesthetic sense is quite classical."

Yun Zhiguang continued, "Zhang Yu, your shared cloud storage is quite good. I have high hopes for it. In the future, it should be able to become a leading enterprise in the second to fifth tiers."

"But how could you have imagined... paying billions of people three times their normal salary? And creating bonds worth tens of billions of spirit coins? Giving them three times the interest?"

"Give that bunch of poor bastards a good job and they'll work themselves to the bone."

"Don't you think this is a huge waste, spending too much unnecessary money?"

"Besides, if you do this, they'll get all the benefits of a raise. How will the company be managed in the future? Isn't this just a ridiculous mess?"

Seeing Yun Zhiguang's inquiring gaze, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Have they arrived?"

With the Heavenly Court descending and the sects once again connecting with the top ten universities, they will inevitably reach out for various school properties and companies, something Zhang Yu had anticipated.

However, looking at Yun Zhiguang in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh that the other party was too impatient. He hadn't even left the side of the God of the Righteousness yet, and the other party already regarded the company as his private property and was even eager to question him?

A flurry of thoughts flashed through Zhang Yu's mind as he carefully considered his words, pondering how to respond.

But then Yun Zhiguang continued, "That's what I originally thought."

"But seeing how you were able to borrow hundreds of billions of spirit coins from these poor people later on, I gradually understood."

"You have to give before you can take. Are you playing the persona marketing game?"

Yun Zhiguang's gaze shifted, and she looked at Zhang Yu with admiration, saying, "Moreover, with this 10 billion debt, it will be less convenient for those guys from above to seize your company."

"By raising salaries and creating a persona of leading everyone to make money, you have already gained the trust of those billions of poor people and achieved unparalleled influence. From now on, you can squeeze even more spirit coins out of them."

"Your persona is good, and your marketing strategy is excellent. It's about giving them a taste of success first, and then reaping the benefits back in double the amount later."

Zhang Yu was stunned for a moment, then sighed helplessly, "I didn't think that much about it. I just wanted to do my best to fight against Fu Xiantian and help everyone survive..."

“Yes, yes, that’s it.” Yun Zhiguang laughed and said, “You have to keep it up. I plan to give you a boost and take advantage of this momentum to promote it further.”

"From this moment on, you are the number one conscience of Kunxu and the leader of the ten schools' charity. What do you think?"

Yun Zhiguang looked at Zhang Yu with satisfaction, seemingly already envisioning herself using his influence to wield power and manipulate everyone on floors 2 to 5. One business plan after another popped into her mind.

"No..." Yun Zhiguang thought to himself, "Perhaps it's not just the second to fifth level; the influence can be spread further. After all, it involves a major event worth hundreds of billions of spirit coins, so the publicity effect will definitely be excellent."

Seeing Zhang Yu's stunned expression, Yun Zhiguang felt that he was worried that this stigma would spread and harm his future prospects, so she immediately comforted him, "Don't worry, anyone with a bit of sense will understand that you're not really stupid enough to give out money and raise salaries indiscriminately, and they won't hold a grudge against you."

"Besides, even if you have a little bit of a bad reputation, it will just be a source of amusement when you make a lot of money in the future."

As she spoke, Yun Zhiguang patted Zhang Yu on the shoulder again and said, "Do a good job. I will recommend you to the sect for training in the future. You may even be able to take the position of Principal of Wanfa in the future. Also, the promotion of the 'Dharma Realm Divine Creation Chapter' can all be entrusted to you to take the lead."

Zhang Yu's heart stirred slightly, and he asked, "Is the higher-ups still going to start pushing forward with the 'Dharma Realm Divine Creation Chapter'?"

Yun Zhiguang laughed and said, "Of course! Shouldn't such a good thing be promoted to the entire Kunxu? Look at us now, we have to bring an eye fragment to communicate, isn't that troublesome? Once the Dharma Realm is completed, there will be no need for the eye fragment at all. Seeing is believing."

"Moreover, floors 2 to 5 have been through a major battle, and a major reconstruction is about to begin, requiring the rebuilding of infrastructure everywhere."

"In addition to your current influence in the top ten, this is a great opportunity to promote 'The Divine Creation of the Dharma Realm'."

"This is also one of the three things I came down to earth to do."

Zhang Yu's eyes flickered: "Senior Yun..."

Yun Zhiguang said, "Why call me senior? Wanfa University and Wanfa Sect are both from the same lineage, just with different roles. You can just call me senior sister."

"Senior Sister..." Zhang Yu asked, "Your next task is to promote 'The Divine Creation of the Dharma Realm,' what are the other two tasks?"

Yun Zhiguang thought for a moment and said, "Well... the higher-ups haven't started yet, so I can't tell you in advance. But don't worry, it's all good news."

She laughed with immense joy, "These are all great things that benefit both the school and the clan."

While Zhang Yu and Yun Zhiguang were talking on the phone, Xin Chou Gui was also talking to Deng Bingding on the other side.

Within the spirit realm, the thoughts of both sides collided, constantly exchanging information at high speed.

Xin Chou Gui said, "Zhang Yu is indeed amazing. His investment of over 10 billion spirit coins is earth-shattering. He actually managed to reverse a situation where there was no chance of survival and the heavens would punish him."

"But there are still many doubts surrounding him."

Deng Bingding said, "The doubts are just doubts. I think the higher-ups mean we shouldn't pursue this further."

Xin Chougui said, "How can that be? If we don't clarify these doubts, it would be irresponsible to the lives and property safety of the teachers and students of Kunxu schools."

Deng Bingding thought to himself, "You're just afraid of taking the blame yourself if something goes wrong later."

Deng Bingding understood that whether the 2nd to 5th floors made a profit or a loss was of little concern to this righteous god from the 9th floor. On the contrary, whether Zhang Yu would suffer a major setback in the future was related to him at this moment.

Just as the two righteous gods were exchanging words, another thought intervened, and that was Gengchen Yi.

For Geng Chenyi, a fifth-rank righteous god who once governed the Wanfa Campus, the same wish as Deng Bingding was to finalize the matter of earning billions of spirit coins and avoid any further complications.

The deity then said, "Zhang Yu's matter can be settled."

Xin Chou Gui was slightly startled and said, "He may have infringed on someone's rights."

Geng Chenyi said calmly, "He handed over 10 billion spirit coins."

Xin Chou Gui said, "He might also be involved in tax evasion..."

Geng Chenyi casually said, "The spirit realm has been disconnected for more than ten months, so it's normal for there to be oversights, especially since he paid over 10 billion spirit coins."

Xin Chou Gui said, "After all, he was captured by the evil god, and he is also suspected of colluding with the Righteous Alliance..."

Geng Chenyi glared at the other party and said, "Zhang Yu spent hundreds of billions of spirit coins on talismans. What problems could he possibly have? Now that the Ten Schools have been rescued, the Righteous Alliance members have been captured, and the 2nd to 5th floors are safe, the money collected has not only covered the deficit but has also exceeded it. What more do you want?"

"Xin Chou Gui, let me tell you, don't use this as an excuse to ruin the overall situation."

"I have already reported this matter to the Great God of All Beings, and this matter ends here."

At the same time, a private voice message entered Xin Chou Gui's mind. It was a warning from Geng Chen Yi: If something is really found out, can you bear the responsibility?

Xin Chou Gui's expression hardened, and suddenly a series of words flashed through his mind: Righteous Alliance, Evil God, Evil God King, Reincarnation Immortal Emperor, Reflecting the New Heaven...

At this moment, he realized that he had unknowingly been pulled into a huge vortex.

Xin Chou Gui's face fell, and he sighed deeply, saying, "I understand."

So, shortly after Zhang Yu finished his conversation with Yun Zhiguang, Deng Bingding reappeared in front of Zhang Yu.

Deng Bingding said politely, "True Lord Zhuyi, it's been a long time."

Looking at Zhang Yu in front of him, Deng Bingding felt extremely complicated.

She never imagined that the poor man who was struggling to obtain the Foundation Establishment Certificate on the first floor would, in less than 10 years, climb to the fifth floor of Kunxu, become a Nascent Soul True Monarch who spends billions, and become someone she could only look up to.

During the questioning just now, Deng Bingding did not have a chance to formally greet Zhang Yu. After some pleasantries, they finally got back to the main topic.

Deng Bingding said, "The investigation into you is complete, and we have confirmed that there are no problems."

Zhang Yu looked at the quiet room in front of him and said, "So I can leave anytime now?"

“Of course,” Deng Bingding continued, “but there are a few things we would like to invite you to attend…”

Through Deng Bingding's introduction, Zhang Yu learned that the Righteous Gods wanted to hold a commendation ceremony to reward those who had made outstanding contributions to fighting against the Righteous Alliance and protecting the Kunxu property over the past year and a half.

Zhang Yu was naturally a key figure among them.

Zhang Yu nodded slightly, listening to Deng Bingding's explanation of the process, and thought to himself, "This is the righteous god about to launch a propaganda offensive."

Zhang Yu was not surprised by the actions of the righteous god. After all, the second to fifth floors had experienced so many wars and needed a grand propaganda campaign to announce the return of the Heavenly Court and the righteous god, to announce that everything was back to normal, to completely end the previous chaos, and to eliminate the various influences brought about by the righteous alliance.

Deng Bingding said, "After you receive the award, you'll need to give a speech on stage. This awards ceremony will be broadcast live from floors 1 to 10, so it has a huge impact. I hope you'll prepare well..."

...

"With a single word, he shattered the heavens and saved the Ten Schools' Transformation Gods from peril."

"He, with billions spent on repairing the heavens and triple his salary, led hundreds of millions of cultivators to fight against evil."

"He borrowed money for eternity, willingly becoming the top debtor of billions, just to seek a glimmer of hope for hundreds of millions of lives."

"Let us welcome the True Lord Candlelight from Wanfa University."

Amidst the intense attention of the crowd, Zhang Yu slowly walked onto the stage and accepted the trophy presented by the God of All Beings.

Meanwhile, on the first floor of Kunxu, inside Songyang High School in Songyang City.

Like all the other high schools on the first floor, the entire faculty and students of Songyang High School are gathered together to watch the live broadcast of the awards ceremony.

On the huge screen, a video broadcast from the upper levels was playing, representing an unprecedented flow of information between the upper and lower levels.

This was also due to a special approval from the Heavenly Court, which required the full cooperation of the first and second floors, and mandated that all schools on the first floor organize the viewing of the live-streamed awards ceremony.

The moment Zhang Yu appeared, the scene stirred up.

Wang Hai, a former gold medal physical education teacher and now the vice principal of Songyang High School, looked at Zhang Yu standing next to the naturally gifted students on the screen and said with great excitement, "Take a good look, this is your senior."

"Zhang Yu from Zhang Yulou, that's him."

“When I first met him, I knew he was no ordinary person, so I gave him 60,000 yuan as soon as school was over to support his studies.”

One student muttered, "He owes 10 billion! Isn't he going to be starving?"

Wang Hai's ears twitched slightly, and he snorted coldly, saying, "Ten billion?"

Wang Hai walked to the blackboard and wrote down a long string of numbers. Looking at the number 1000000000000000000, the teachers and students present felt an overwhelming pressure emanating from it. There were so many zeros that they almost dazzled everyone's eyes.

"You think it's just the money you have? That's spirit currency. It's worth more than a billion trillion here. They've gathered more than a billion trillion in funds."

Hearing and seeing this astronomical amount of money, the students present all gasped in astonishment.

At the same time, after Zhang Yu received the trophy from the God of All Beings, he saw that the trophy had transformed into a talisman and was floating beside him.

This was a prize specially made for Zhang Yu by the gods. In addition to having the most basic functions of drawing talismans and connecting to the internet, this talisman also had extremely high spiritual authority.

Holding this talisman, a line of spiritual projection naturally appeared above Zhang Yu's head: Hundred Billion Talisman Master

Kuang Tianqing, who was watching the live stream, sighed inwardly upon seeing this scene: "The Heavenly Court is really determined to promote Zhang Yu this time."

He had already read the introduction of the prizes before the live stream started, and now he thought to himself, "Immune to low- and mid-grade talismans, no authority over gods below the fifth rank, and he can worship gods below the third rank for free..."

"Furthermore, he is favored by Heaven and Earth; all natural disasters and calamities will be mitigated for him, while his influence on Heaven and Earth will be amplified..."

Kuang Tianqing thought to himself, "This guy really is a reincarnation of a wealthy person from above. Otherwise, how could he have the audacity to spend billions like this? How could he have such support from the Heavenly Court?"

At the awards ceremony, in addition to Zhang Yu, there were also Magnet God, Green Wood God, Evil Lotus God, Heavenly Killer True Lord, Miraculous Hand True Lord, and Bai Zhenzhen, who took turns to the stage to receive different awards.

Wang Hai, who was on the first floor, sighed as he watched this scene: "With two Nascent Soul cultivators in one school, Songyang will be the strongest school on the first floor from now on."

Zhang Yu then took the stage to speak.

A group of demons ran onto the stage to present flowers.

During the interview with the host, these demon descendants announced their names one by one, such as Pig Resisting Heaven, Pig Helping Feathers, Ox Borrowing Feathers, etc.

During the host's introduction, everyone learned that these were all descendants of demons born on the battlefield at that time.

These demon descendants would puff out their chests whenever they thought about how they were born for the sake of True Lord Zhuyi.

After receiving the flowers, Zhang Yu faced the camera and said, "First of all, I want to thank Wanfa University for nurturing me..."

Inside Tianhai University, Zhou Chechen said to the classmate next to him, "He is my junior from high school. We were very close in high school and practiced sparring together every day. He even made me throw up once."

Zhang Yu said, "Without the guidance of Master Magnetism and Master Green Wood, I wouldn't have made it this far..."

Qian Shen from Tianhai University watched this scene and murmured, "Scores... can no longer be used to calculate it. Has the score-based evaluation system ceased to exist above the university level?"

Wang Yin from Youming University clapped his hands repeatedly and exclaimed to his classmates, "Back then, I only narrowly lost to True Lord Zhuyi by one move."

Inside Wanfa University, Xinghuo Zhenjun, who was watching the live broadcast, sighed, "The glory is boundless, but I'm afraid the pressure ahead will also be boundless."

Just then, a message popped up in Starfire True Monarch's eyes: Starfire

Starfire True Monarch's eyelids twitched, and he replied: What do you want from me? I've already paid you back what I owed you when we separated the family; we're even.

The other party replied: "Spark, I had no choice back then. You've misunderstood me too much."

Starfire True Lord: Hehe, what exactly do you want?

The other party replied: Do you know how many Nascent Soul certificates are left undistributed among the ten schools?

...

In the free labor facility called the Overtime Courtyard, the former Devouring Heaven True Lord has now been renamed Monkey Shuntian.

At that moment, he was also working overtime under the unified arrangement, while watching the commendation ceremony through his computer.

Beside Hou Shuntian was the Great Master Zhenjun, who had reverted to the name Li Qiuxian.

Looking at Zhang Yu's smug face on the screen, Li Qiuxian sighed, "They're both in debt, but the difference is just too great."

The Golden Immortal said from the side, "How can that be the same? He owes the common people, but you owe the Heavenly Court."

Just after Zhang Yu finished speaking, Li Qiuxian's eyes flickered, and he saw his own video appear.

In the video, he wept bitterly, saying that because he lacked education and knowledge, he was deceived by an evil god and mistakenly joined the Righteous Alliance, where he did many wrong things.

In addition, there is Hou Shuntian, who, having grown up without a father and lacking education, ultimately went astray. There is also Liu Jin Zhenjun, who, despite his high level of education, was still deceived by an evil god.
