"Absurd!"
Primordial Heavenly Venerate suddenly snorted coldly.
"If that were the case, wouldn't everyone be able to avoid tribulations? Where would the majesty of Heavenly Dao be? Where would the cycle of karma be?"
"Majesty?"
Chen Changsheng looked at the newly appointed Emperor Fuxi.
"Commissioner Fuxi, please answer Uncle-Master Yuanshi's question from the perspective of asset valuation."
Emperor Fuxi straightened his robes, took out the gleaming badge, pinned it to his chest, and spoke with a solemn expression.
"According to the assessment."
"Violent purges, namely Killing Tribulations, may preserve authority, but they would cause a forty percent decline in Heavenly Dao's brand value, accompanied by an enormous user—living being—attrition rate."
"Meanwhile, the securitization plan, though sacrificing some authority, would greatly increase user retention and cash flow—Merit."
"In the long run, the latter's potential for appreciation in Heavenly Dao's total assets is... ten thousand times that of the former."
After Emperor Fuxi finished, he deliberately added one more sentence.
"This is a professional opinion."
Primordial Heavenly Venerate: "..."
Looking at the dead-serious Fuxi, he felt that the world had gone mad.
"Approved."
At that moment.
On the Cloud Platform, Dao Ancestor Hongjun finally spoke.
One word settled the matter.
Chen Changsheng's smile bloomed fully.
"Since the Dao Ancestor has approved it, let us now discuss..."
He pulled a document he had prepared long ago from his robes. His gaze swept across the Six Sages' faces as though he were looking at six fat sheep awaiting slaughter.
"The subscription ratios for the directors'... founding shares."
"Whoever contributes more—Merit, luck, disciples—gets more shares. And whoever has more shares will have a greater voice in the future Three Realms."
"Bidding begins now."
"My Western Sect is willing to offer water from the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, plus the luck of three thousand Buddhist lands!"
