Sky Screen Zhao Gongming's Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Pearls transformed into twenty-four dazzling suns, traversing the starry Starry Sky and casting down countless divine rays that enveloped the entire Alien Race planet, countless people on Douluo Star were already dumbfounded.

What a magnificent sight it was!

The twenty-four pearls each occupy a star field, forming a mysterious array between them, like twenty-four divine mountains suppressing heaven and earth, or like twenty-four black holes that swallow and expel all things.

The brilliance of the stars paled in comparison to him, and the vast universe seemed to have become a chessboard for Zhao Gongming to employ his skills.

For a moment, the entire Douluo Star was plunged into an indescribable shock.

What exactly was Zhao Gongming trying to achieve with his actions?

"The Way of the Economy? Can the economy really have such power?"

"What do you know! This is Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth!"

Numerous discussions arose one after another.

Some were amazed, some were puzzled, and some gazed at the extraordinary figure in the Sky Screen with undisguised envy in their eyes.

After all, for the vast majority of people on Douluo Star, power has always meant Soul Power Level, Soul Ring and Soul Bone, and the lofty status of Titled Douluo.

But right now, Zhao Gongming is showing them through his actions that the definition of power goes far beyond that!

Even without wielding weapons or unleashing devastating divine skills, possessing sufficient wealth can still cause a planet to tremble.

Even the billions of living beings on the planet may unknowingly become pawns on the chessboard!

And that's the most terrifying part.

Just as the people of Douluo Star were discussing the matter, Zhao Gongming finally began his actions in the Sky Screen.

He sat upright in the void, wearing Black Daoist Robe, with golden light flowing around him, Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Pearls echoing each other from afar.

With a gentle wave of his hand, the endless divine light enveloping the Alien Race planet instantly changed.

Massive virtual trading platforms sprang up, and countless torrents of information flowed between heaven and earth.

Mineral veins, energy, land, factories, shipping routes...

All resources that can be valued are incorporated into the trading system at this moment.

Meanwhile, the Alien Race forces that were originally scattered across various regions gradually lost their ability to fight independently in the face of this vast Economic Network.

For Zhao Gongming, once his wealth reached a certain level, the Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Pearls became the best platform for trading!

[As money flows, resources converge like a vast ocean; everything can be valued, everything can be traded!]

With enough wealth, one can buy treasures that countless people dream of, and even shake the very lifeline of an entire civilization!

And this is precisely the power of Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth!

The sound of the Sky Screen crashed down.

In an instant, the entire Douluo Star fell silent.

Buy treasures, buy resources, buy industries...

They could understand these things.

However, if this power is amplified to the level of a planet, or even used to influence the rise and fall of a civilization, then it is completely beyond their comprehension!

Those Soul Master, especially those from noble families, had particularly complex expressions at this moment.

They accumulated wealth over generations, controlled land, and monopolized resources, believing that as long as they held enough gold and silver, they could maintain their family's wealth and prosperity for thousands of years.

However, compared to Zhao Gongming, their wealth, which they were so proud of, was like a firefly facing the bright moon!

This is hardly a normal transaction anymore.

It is clearly using economics as a blade, wealth as an army, and countless transactions to construct a vast network that covers the entire planet!

When the net is completely closed in, the prey may not even realize that it has lost the ability to resist.

"Terrible! Absolutely terrifying!"

"If someone could wield such power, wouldn't they be able to easily conquer a country?"

"It's not just a country! Didn't you hear Sky Screen said? Zhao Gongming is going to harvest an entire Alien Race planet!"

Amid gasps of surprise, everyone's gaze returned to the Sky Screen.

At this moment, Zhao Gongming's Economic Colonialism plan has entered its most crucial stage.

As one massive transaction after another was completed, mineral resources, energy facilities, and various industries that originally belonged to Alien Race powers changed hands one after another.

Those once high and mighty Alien Race rulers initially paid no attention to Zhao Gongming's actions.

In their view, wealth is nothing more than an external thing.

As long as one controls the army and the strong, even if one loses some resources, one can still maintain rule.

But by the time they realized something was wrong, it was already too late.

With the change of ownership of industries, resources were redistributed, and trading networks gradually covered various regions.

The economic lifeline that they once firmly held in their hands has now become a bargaining chip in the hands of others.

When a power needs to rely on external supplies to even maintain its own operations, how much of its so-called strength remains?

Moreover, the wealth that Zhao Gongming possessed was beyond their comprehension!

The Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Pearls shone even brighter, and an endless torrent of wealth surged along the trading network, eventually converging in front of Zhao Gongming.

That astonishing aura even seemed to make the entire Starry Sky tremble.

[ The Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Pearls represent both Zhao Gongming's power and an extension of the Huaxia Star's economic system!]

When wealth transforms into an omnipresent network, and when transactions permeate every corner of a civilization, resources and power find a new owner!

In this economic war, Zhao Gongming was the ultimate winner!

With the Sky Screen announcement, the situation on the Alien Race planet became completely clear.

The once invincible Alien Race force has ultimately become part of the vast economic system of Huaxia Star.

Their resources were integrated, their industries were taken over, and the Economic Network on which they depended for survival was gradually brought under the control of Huaxia Star under Zhao Gongming's arrangement.

This war, devoid of traditional swordplay, ended in a near-crushing victory for Huaxia Star.

And Zhao Gongming's name, along with this scene, was deeply imprinted in the hearts of countless people.

Huaxia Star.

Outside the Federal Council Hall.

Looking at the scene in the Sky Screen, Xuan Yuan Tian couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh.

"Excellent! As expected of Zhao Gongming!"

"When it comes to direct combat, our Huaxia Star boasts an invincible fleet and powerful figures who traverse the starry seas; but when it comes to economic warfare, Zhao Gongming's methods are equally capable of driving the enemy to despair!"

The many Councilor standing nearby nodded in agreement, their faces full of admiration.

For them, Zhao Gongming was more than just a God of Wealth.

He was also one of the founders of the Huaxia Star economic system and a key figure in transforming wealth into the power of civilization.

Without such an existence, even with its powerful military, Huaxia Star might not have been able to integrate resources so quickly and propel the entire civilization forward.

Meanwhile, in the virtual world, countless Huaxia Star citizens were completely in an uproar.

"This is the style of our Huaxia Star God of Wealth!"

"Hahaha! Those Alien Race probably still don't understand how they lost!"

"Money is power! This saying couldn't be more fitting for the God of God of Wealth!"

"Without Lord Zhao Gongming, where would our Huaxia Star's prosperity be today? Where would our powerful foundation come from?"

"May the God of Wealth be mighty! Long live Huaxia Star!"

Praise flooded the virtual world.

Some regard Zhao Gongming as the founder of economics, some see him as a symbol of the prosperity of Huaxia Star, and some even create various virtual souvenirs based on his image, which have attracted countless people in a short period of time.

Zhao Gongming's reputation soared once again.

Outside the Federal Council Hall, the real Zhao Gongming looked at himself in the Sky Screen, stroked his beard and smiled, his expression full of satisfaction.

"Excellent, excellent!"

Hearing the praise coming from all around, a smile couldn't help but appear on his dignified face.

The ability to leverage wealth without firing a single shot to disrupt the resource system of a civilization is the result of his years of continuous study of economic principles.

However, Zhao Gongming also knew that this power never came from nowhere.

Without Huaxia Star's strong industrial base, its extensive transportation network spanning the star system, and the vast market and technological support provided by the Federation, even with his extraordinary economic resources, he would have found it difficult to achieve what he has today.

That's why he approves even more of Huaxia Star's path.

Individual strength is important, but only by integrating individual abilities into the entire civilization can unleash unimaginable power!

Just then, in the distant Ten-Thousand-Li Void...

Chen Tian tall in the vast Starry Sky, with the boundless cosmos behind him.

He also took in everything in the Sky Screen, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face as he watched Zhao Gongming's effortless handling of the situation.

"Good."

"This is the God of Wealth of my Huaxia Star!"

"It also extends the principles of economics to the entire universe, making wealth the driving force of civilization!"
