Deep within the Ganyou Secret Realm, and within the realm lies Divine Temple.

The Ganyou World Lord sat alone on his supreme throne, his hands supporting his chin, lost in thought.

"Your Majesty." A figure walked lightly into the Divine Temple; it was his most trusted subordinate, Thirteen. "Has something serious happened within the tribe?"

Thirteen's voice echoed in the empty Divine Temple, but it did not awaken the Ganyou World Lord.

He remained seated, motionless, as the light slowly descended, landing on the virtual screen that appeared in his palm. This screen Ganyou World Lord, and on it, a line of glaring gold text stood out prominently: the enormous debt he owed.

The Supreme Treasure Point 4.1 points, of which 1.9 are private and 2.2 are from ethnic groups.

Below the light screen, a densely packed list of the Ganyou Universe Country's various revenues was displayed: territorial taxes, resource extraction profits,

The income includes the division of tasks among the tribes, his salary as the Ganyou World Lord, the Cosmic Venerable's stipend, annual performance bonus... but each item of income is marked with the words "whether it is used to offset debts".

The key issue is that those seemingly enormous sums, when accumulated, are still a long way from repaying even a single Supreme Treasure Point.

Three adventures wiped out his hundreds of millions of years of accumulation, leaving him with a seemingly endless debt. The Ganyou World Lord felt a tightness in his chest.

What he regrets most is that he missed the best opportunity to pay off the debt, an opportunity that he personally presented to the person with great enthusiasm!

Waaah~

Just then, Thirteen's husband exclaimed joyfully, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Good news! The Virtual Universe Company has sent people here, saying they've come to distribute rewards to you!"

The Ganyou World Lord raised his eyes, nodded slightly, and gestured for the thirteenth prince to let the person in.

A moment later, an envoy dressed in the standard robes of the Virtual Universe Company stepped into the Divine Temple, his expression respectful, holding a golden jade slip, and bowing deeply.

"Your Ganyou World Lord Majesty. By order of the Chaos City Lord and the Lord of Peace and Joy, I have come to bestow upon you this reward. For your past nurturing and protection of the Lord of Peace and Joy, you have made immense contributions to our Human Race. Therefore, I hereby bestow upon you 100 Heavy Treasure Points. The reward has been transferred to your account. Please check it, Your Majesty."

The Ganyou World Lord remained expressionless, simply uttering two words: "Understood."

Seeing this, the envoy dared not say anything more, bowed again, and then quietly withdrew.

As soon as the envoy left, Thirteen could no longer contain his elation. "Your Majesty! 100 Heavy Treasure Points! A full 100 points!"

That's an astronomical sum, enough to last billions of years! You've struck it rich!

The cheers of the Thirteenth Prince echoed within the Divine Temple, but the Ganyou World Lord clenched his fists tightly.

He opened the clan account again, and the reward of 100 Heavy Treasure Points was clearly visible on the screen, but the debt of 4.1 Supreme Treasure Points next to it was still glaringly obvious. Thinking of the Lord of Peace and Joy's current immense power and illustrious reputation, he realized he had originally had the opportunity to become his disciple!

"Pfft~"

A mouthful of bright red blood gushed from the mouth of the Ganyou World Lord, splattering onto the jade steps in front of the throne, a striking sight.

"Your Majesty!" Thirteen exclaimed in alarm, rushing forward to ask with concern, "How are you?"

The Ganyou World Lord slowly raised his head. His face was deathly pale, but his eyes burned with a fierce flame—a flame of resentment, anger, and a desperate, all-or-nothing resolve.

He pushed Thirteen's hand away, his voice hoarse but firm. "I'm fine."

100 Heavy Treasure Points weren't the end, but his chance to turn things around. He was going to gamble again, using those 100 Heavy Treasure Points to buy the most popular Resurrection Insurance under the Lord of Peace and Joy.

Go to the Primitive Star again!

No child cries Tiantian, and no gambler loses Tiantian!

The Ganyou World Lord opened the virtual light screen and found the purchase entrance for the Resurrection Insurance, but when he saw the purchase price, his face instantly froze.

The price of the Resurrection Insurance is more than 100 Heavy Treasure Points!

On the screen, a line of small print clearly stated the reason for the price increase: The pricing of the Resurrection Insurance will take into account the security situation in the insured's area, with a particular focus on areas on Earth where fraud is frequent: Due to the existence of individuals from the Ganyou Universe Country who lead untrustworthy and malicious fraud, the insurance risk in that area and related groups has increased significantly, and the insurance amount has increased accordingly.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and immediately ordered, "Thirteen, pass the order to launch an anti-fraud campaign Ganyou Universe Country and related territories, and to rigorously investigate all kinds of fraudulent activities."

A year later, in a secret hideout in the Ganyou Universe Country, several fraudsters sat together, looking smug and chatting. One of them, Old Hou, was none other than a well-known local charity ambassador.

"Hahaha, we're so clever!" Old Hou picked up a glass of crystal-clear Star Marrow Wine and drank it all in one gulp. "In just ten thousand years, we've swindled so many resources! Those fools are just lucky, born into good clans and got good opportunities, that's why they have so much money."

Unlike us, we earned it with our own hands and wisdom, through our own hard work and skills!

"Boss Hou is right!" a weasel-faced man beside him quickly chimed in, "Money gained by luck will eventually flow into the hands of those who deserve it, in another form, because of their own stupidity! That's only fair!"

"Of course! We have powerful backers. As long as we regularly pay tribute to those high-ranking officials, who can do anything to us?"

"Exactly! Those idiots, they got scammed thinking they got a bargain. By the time they realize it, we've already laundered the resources and converted them into legitimate profits, so they can live a carefree life!"

Their laughter was unrestrained and arrogant.

"Boom~"

The gate to the stronghold was smashed open, and countless powerful men in law enforcement uniforms poured in, instantly surrounding the fraudsters.

"Who are you? How dare you break into my home! Do you know who's behind us? I know the head of your Law Enforcement Department. Release us right now, or you'll be in big trouble!" Old Hou's face changed drastically, but he still tried to remain calm, shouting fiercely but inwardly weakly.

The law enforcement officer said coldly, "No need for further words. You are suspected of massive fraud and money laundering. The evidence is conclusive. Arrest you immediately."

Also, just a heads-up, the law enforcement official you know has been arrested along with you for accepting bribes and covering up your crimes.

"What?!"

The fraudsters were stunned, filled with fear and despair. They collapsed to the ground, easily subdued by law enforcement officers, and taken away.

Similar scenes were playing out simultaneously in every corner of the Ganyou Universe Country.

This anti-fraud operation was massive and decisive, not only arresting a large number of fraudsters like Old Hou and destroying millions of fraud dens, but also implicating several high-ranking officials who had shielded the criminals.

For a time, the Ganyou Universe Country in a state of panic, and many officials lived in constant fear.

What is most shocking is that this operation actually involved the Ninth Prince of the Ganyou Universe Country, a prince who was usually high and mighty and had immense power, and was regarded by the entire Ganyou Universe Country as the most likely successor to the Ganyou Imperial Clan royal family Prince.

When the law enforcement officers stormed into the Ninth Prince's residence, the Ninth Prince was holding a grand banquet, entertaining dignitaries from all walks of life. His cups were filled with the rarest and finest wines, and he was surrounded by beautiful maids, his expression arrogant.

Moments later, the once high and mighty Ninth Prince was dragged out of the banquet hall like a dead dog by the law enforcement officers. His clothes were disheveled, his hair was messy, and his face was covered in dust and grime. He kept crying out, "Father, save me!" Where was the dignity of Prince?

Ultimately, the Ninth Prince was arrested according to the law and imprisoned in the most heavily guarded Human Race First Prison, where he would spend the rest of his life in darkness.

Time passed slowly, and under the strict orders of the Ganyou World Lord, the anti-fraud work achieved remarkable results. Various fraud cases were greatly reduced, the public security environment was completely renewed, and those lurking criminals were either caught or fled to the ends of the earth, never daring to show their faces again.

At the same time, the other 1008 Ganyou Universe Country Universe Country within the Human Race Territory also followed suit, launching varying degrees of crackdowns on evil, and strictly investigating illegal activities such as fraud and illegal slave trading.

In an instant, all the evil practices and unhealthy tendencies within the entire Human Race Territory were severely suppressed.

Just as the atmosphere in the Human Race Territory was becoming increasingly clear, many so-called "experts" jumped out and publicly spoke out on the Virtual Universe platform, making a great deal of noise.

"The current atmosphere within the Human Race Territory is too comfortable; everyone follows the rules and lacks the wolf-like instinct, which is detrimental to the brutal competition of the Primal Universe! Only by retaining some wildness and greed can Human Race establish itself in the Primal Universe and obtain more opportunities and resources!"

These remarks surprisingly garnered considerable support, and the experts quickly became prominent figures in the Virtual Universe, enjoying immense popularity and spreading their "twisted theories" far and wide.

But just a few days later, these experts who were jumping around the most suddenly disappeared into thin air and never appeared in the Virtual Universe again.

She's probably asleep.

Time passed slowly.

A thousand years later, the Ganyou World Lord opened the Resurrection Insurance purchase portal again. When he saw the price on the screen, he finally showed a satisfied expression. The price of the Perfect Resurrection Insurance had finally returned to 100 Heavy Treasure Points.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately used 10 Heavy Treasure Points to purchase Standard Resurrection Insurance, setting the activation time to 40,000 years later.

The insurance terms are clearly displayed on the screen: After purchasing the insurance, there is a 10,000-year observation period. If the insured dies accidentally during the observation period, no compensation will be paid. Only after the observation period ends can the insured enjoy full resurrection protection.

The Ganyou World Lord withdrew the light curtain, and the flames in his eyes burned even more fiercely.

He wasn't stupid. After all, with Standard Resurrection Insurance, High Venerable would only need 10 Heavy Treasure Points for a batch resurrection once every million years, while the Primitive Star would have a ten million-year lifespan and 10 resurrection opportunities.

With 100 Heavy Treasure Points, even if the price increases by 20% each time he revives, he can revive six times.

Is it possible to die six times in a row?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Fifty thousand years from now, the day the Human Race marches into the Primitive Star will be the best opportunity for him to get rid of his debts and restore his divine power.

All in!

Fortune favors the bold!
