On the throne of the gods.
A voice echoed softly:
"In this world, who is not born a slave to destiny?"
"They rely shift from a wild fate to becoming slaves of our artificial fate."
In the palace, the newly ascended Emperor Lingyuan held a golden scepter, smiling slightly, looking at the dukes, noble families, and powerful clans below.
It was with the support of these people that he could ascend to the top.
His gaze fell upon these court ministers, then upon the Pri Minister Masked Emperor, feeling that this pri minister certainly understood the tis and knew to submit to him.
Suddenly, Emperor Lingyuan said: "Pri Minister, speak of the current world."
The Masked Emperor sighed inwardly, unsure of what the Night Emperor was playing at, not even knowing the Night Emperor’s disappearance.
But he knew that fellow surely had so calculation.
So he submitted to this new emperor, silently waiting for the Night Emperor’s move, and said leisurely:
"Emperor, the essence of Qi Fortune is a ga of money."
"Now we madly collect taxes to cultivate, to condense Life Charts, for our descendants to use!"
"This Destiny has beco a truly circulating currency, actual cultivation material! Exploiting from the lowest people upward, layer by layer."
"For the low-class family, it is harder for distinguished individuals to erge."
"Children of the Life Chart Divine Race are gods...children of commoners remain as commoners."
"As for causality, Karmic Force?"
The Pri Minister showed a cold smile and mocked, "Bound by it, so what? Can they defeat us?"
"We exploit them, each heavily indebted, forming great causality with us, and finally, after squeezing them dry, sink them into the river. This removes the causality—isn’t it the best solution?"
"They are exploited from birth till death, no matter how great the causality, they are utterly incapable of resistance."
Hearing this, the gods showed gentle smiles.
Indeed.
This is the true mythical dynasty!
The Night Emperor was too rciful, hence fearing causality.
"The essence of Destiny is the wealthy capitalist ga, yet the Night Emperor...aims to be that philanthropist, which from the start, contradicts the essence of Destiny!"
"Now, we harvest, perfect the money-making system, to truly cultivate Destiny."
"Throughout history, it has been like this, the founding emperor is, of course, powerful, but with many flaws, most often overthrown by successors. The Night Emperor’s persistence is laughable."
"But we still must guard against and be vigilant of the seriously wounded and missing Night Emperor, who may co before the Divine Artifact is completed, to reclaim his position."
"This is a battle for the Divine Artifact; obtaining the soon-to-be-forged Life and Death Legacy ans thoroughly gaining the world."
After everyone left, the emperor upon the throne slightly changed his face, writhing like clay.
This Emperor Lingyuan revealed the face of Emperor Changjin.
"Night Emperor, oh Night Emperor, you did not foresee this, did you? You once overthrew my rule, now I’ve changed my identity, replacing the high-status ministers, and organized ambitious ones to reclaim my position."
Year 3621 of the Celestial Destiny World.
A completely new currency began to circulate in the world.
Life Coins.
A special material made of copper coins transford from Stone-to-Gold.
Ushering Qi Fortune as the currency, comncing formal circulation.
This era is incredibly magical, as people quantify fate into numbers, becoming a general equivalent for market circulation.
Those with high Destiny are landlords and wealthy farrs, owning millions, immune to diseases.
Those with low Destiny are impoverished commoners, with poor families, plagued by diseases.
So landlords employ household servants, farrs, to cultivate land, work, collect taxes, continuously gathering Qi Fortune Value.
The more diligently the farrs work, the poorer they beco.
While landlords beco richer and richer.
As Life Coins are quantified and circulate, the gap between rich and poor in the world is rapidly widening.
From this day forward.
Not only the gods above, even the social classes in the mortal realm began to solidify.
Children of wealthy farrs remain wealthy farrs.
Children of slaves remain as slaves.
This is the true capitalist ga, an extraordinary world operating around capitalism as its core system.
Destiny has thoroughly beco circulating currency.
Ordinary people wanting to break through classes and enter the landlord class need money, but it’s nearly impossible!
The era explodes rapidly again, and this terrifying civilization enters the next class.
The following year.
Life Coins, updated to the second version.
Copper coins beca sheets of paper currency, capable of carrying an individual’s Qi Fortune Value, with the currency depicting a majestic, crowned emperor, none other than Emperor Lingyuan.
Paper currency releases, offering more convenience and lower costs, bringing the monetary system fully onto the right track.
Emperor Lingyuan said calmly: "The essence of Destiny is a capitalist ga, while the core of a wealth ga...is the circulation of money!"
"Our currency update is an update of the system."
In the fifth year.
Life Coins, now updated to the third version.
The gods introduced empty paper notes, allowing commoners to worship these notes using a principle similar to Ning Zheng’s previous tribute.
Upon worship, they had a similar effect of -2 Qi Fortune Value; the currency showed monetary figures, with denominations of 1, 5, 10, 100, etc., providing commoners resources to purchase living necessities.
And beautifully said:
"The emperor is benevolent, granting the assembly of life coins to all people."
But the commoners were full of complaints, with resentnt soaring into the skies, and causality intensifying further.
Soone shouted: "Is this Life Coin? This is Netherworld Coin!"
This person was captured and faced severe punishnt.
Another roared: "Is this Life Money? This is buying life money!"
This person was exterminated, along with their clan.
Soone else, while burning incense, worshiped the white paper, watching it turn into currency, furiously exclaid, "Night Emperor, oh Night Emperor, the world has beco unjust, Heaven...has turned corrupt, rotten, decayed."
"When will you return?"
As ti passed.
The wails of the people did not grow louder but were washed away by ti.
Thirty years later.
A generation passed and died in despair.
Yes, nowadays life expectancy significantly decreased; it has beco thirty years per generation.
The entire world began to exhibit nurous Taoist Temples, providing tributes to commoners, these Temples learned from the model of the Twelve Golden n to mold Golden Bodies, such as the Emperor Lingyuan the Demon-Suppressor, Holy Protector True Profound Great Emperor, Emperor Lingyuan.
For instance, below Emperor Lingyuan, there are the Four Directions Taoist Monarch, Heaven-Emulating Tao Venerate, Taoist Venerate Pingqian Duanyun...all sides recorded the revered nas of Tao Venerates’ Golden Bodies which began to appear in the world, with Taoist Temples spreading everywhere.
Gradually, Daoists beca the mainstream first profession between Heaven and Earth.
Additionally, Daoists encompassed the seven original systems, Blessing, Divination, Feng Shui...
Daoists could practice all systems.
This is a thorough systematic era of Immortal Cultivation.
Even Ning Zheng’s Twelve Golden n from various continents were appropriated by them, used as turnover warehouses for currency in various Taoist Temples.
However, their every -2 is rough, far from Ning Zheng’s painless operation and damages the limit of their source.
This leads to the entire world having denser causality, with visible Karmic Force.
"This wants our lives, oh, Netherworld Coins, every incense-burning, worship, is mysteriously diminishing our Destiny."
Soone shouted, exclaiming with misery.
As Destiny lowered, like the unfortunate blacksmiths of the old days who stumbled, had crow droppings land on them, even fell ill, weakened, succumbed to fire and demonic, ultimately dying.
"This is not the emperor on the Netherworld Coin’s image but the Netherworld Emperor."
Gradually, the people began to call paper notes like this.
Eventually, the people even referred to the Netherworld Coins-based monetary system as: Heaven and Earth Bank.
..
...
Sword Casting Manor.
"Life Coins? Netherworld Coins?"
Ning Zheng showed a strange expression, "What a magical yet sad world, there truly exists a world where such a Taoist system, such Netherworld Coins, and causality..."
Occupying my Twelve Golden n, these people are truly ruthless.
In the space vortex.
The Night Emperor on the opposite side said leisurely:
"However, this is clearly a small test. Given that the essence of Destiny is a capitalist ga, what happens if we let the developnt of capitalists loose, letting ambitious capital push the era, and create a cyber-Immortal Cultivation world?"
"Seeing it now, it turns out to be the Netherworld."
The Night Emperor chuckled, "Speaking of which, there was a movie in my previous life, wherein ti was the currency, the wealthy could live for thousands of years and forever live...while commoners were very poor, even selling children’s ti for a living, how similar to here?"
"And we use Destiny as currency, which seems even more mysterious."
Ning Zheng paused for a mont, suddenly feeling powerless to retort.
The Night Emperor said: "Not only do we need to clear out a wave of court pests, we can also test endless Karmic Force accumulation with those lab mice, with no one to balance the accounts, how will those bound by Karmic Force reach extres."
Ning Zheng said coldly: "Accelerate the process."
The Night Emperor said: "Alright."
