I only want to win over the fairy.

You offered Bai Yi a crimson snake scale, but he refused.

You invited Bai Yi to a discussion, but were turned away.

You invited Bai Yi to spar, but he ignored you...

This guy!

At this moment, Shen Tu felt an unprecedented challenge. The other party's unwillingness to have any contact with her only fueled her fighting spirit and made her more and more interested in Bai Yi.

That's what makes it interesting!

The more unattainable something is, the more one desires it. The more unwilling Bai Yi is to interact with or spar with him, the more joy he will feel when he fully displays his domineering nature and forces Bai Yi to submit to him.

That joy was far more exciting than defeating those so-called prodigies in the past.

Supreme bliss!

Well, since you're so unresponsive, I'll have to try a different approach.

Unable to have your way, you become increasingly interested in Bai Yi. You desperately want to have a thrilling battle with him to vent your inner desires. However, since he doesn't like you, you decide to target his junior sister, master, and other members of his sect.

As the strongest member of the Bashe clan, Shen Tu controlled the clan's assets. In addition, she had challenged countless geniuses and powerful races in that era, and many powerful races had died at her hands. All the assets of those dead demon races fell into her hands, so her assets could be described as very substantial.

She decided to use her own wealth to give Bai Yi a little shock from the ancient demon race.

[With your attention, life on Tianxuan Peak has changed dramatically in a short period. To allow yourself more freedom, you first set your sights on Xiao Jinxuan. Although she dislikes interacting with strangers, her attitude towards you has changed drastically after you invested a huge amount of resources to expand Tianxuan Peak's Reincarnation Hot Spring, building a luxurious leisure area around it and introducing rare, mutated fish species that can absorb impurities in the water and purify it.]

Xiao Jinxuan is a rather troublesome person.

In terms of combat strength, the opponent is by no means inferior to himself, and may even be superior. If he encounters a great opportunity, he may even break through to the Great Emperor realm directly, which is extremely dangerous. Therefore, this guy needs to be dealt with first.

Let her continue to immerse herself in fun and entertainment, slowing down her breakthrough progress so that she can't break through to the Great Emperor level before him and will eventually have to submit to him.

Hehehe, once I break through to the Great Emperor level, if you want to break through, you'll have to advance under my pressure. That's like carrying a hundred thousand mountains on your back, making it difficult to move forward. Every step could be dragged down, and you'll also have to face the extremely terrifying Tribulation of Becoming an Emperor, or even the Tribulation of Slaughtering Immortals.

You can break through the restrictions that prevent you from becoming an emperor before the path to becoming an emperor has even begun, but can you break through the even stronger restrictions that Heaven and Earth do not allow for the appearance of a second emperor?

Having gained Xiao Jinxuan's approval, you suddenly found yourself free on Tianxuan Peak. You then summoned a group of spirit puppets to act as your eyes, ears, and limbs.

This cultivation simulator has significant limitations on gift-giving. Once a gift is given to someone, it cannot be given to anyone else for a short period of time. But how could Shen Tu be affected by such a thing?

When you see someone's profile picture showing what gift they want, you can store the gift on the spirit puppet and let the spirit puppet deliver it. It's incredibly convenient and easy to use, and it's fully automatic.

[The spiritual energy of Tianxuan Peak is abundant and contains ample reincarnation power, which is very helpful for your cultivation. After your cultivation, you always take the time to maintain good relations with Tianxuan Peak and the Xuantian Sect. Whenever you discover that Xiao Jinxuan and the others need something, you will have your spirit puppet deliver the required items, showing exceptional thoughtfulness.]

Xiao Jinxuan's feelings for you have increased.

Su Qingyu's affection for you has increased.

The favor shown to you by many elders of the Xuantian Sect has increased...

Gradually, you became a highly respected guest of the Xuantian Sect. From the sect leader to the inner disciples, everyone knew you, and many even secretly called you the "God of Wealth."

Thanks to your efforts, Tianxuan Peak has been completely transformed. Simple residences have been replaced by luxurious mansions, and the hundreds of miles of land centered around the Reincarnation Hot Spring have been turned into a resort with complete entertainment facilities. The spirit beast garden, medicine garden, library, and alchemy room have been moved to a special cave space by your great supernatural powers, saving a lot of land. In order to make it look grand, you have also built a magnificent palace as a facade...

Bai Yi naturally noticed that Shen Tu was constantly being the top spender on rewards.

This snake is really persistent.

I tortured her, and she kept giving me gold coins in return. She really is a masochist. Sure enough, the worse I treat her, the more obedient and compliant she becomes.

Most importantly, this snake is no longer a minor, so even if you want a refund, it's not possible.

So you, the number one on the leaderboard, hurry up and give me a lot of gold coins!

Last time, we simulated Bai Ze being number one on the leaderboard and amassed a lot of her gold coins. This time, we're simulating someone else taking advantage of us, so we'll skin you alive and plunder all your gold coins!

Chapter 179 Those who praise my true name will see eternal life in the cycle of reincarnation.

With the help of the top-ranking woman, Bai Yi's life improved dramatically.

Whenever Bai Yi saw the wealth of these people, he couldn't help but feel envious. Bai Ze inherited the assets of the once-prosperous Innate Holy Spirit Clan, so he was richer than a country. Shen Tu, on the other hand, had an entire clan as his support, and his clan's industries were quite abundant. Not to mention how much material he had stockpiled when he sealed himself in the Wilderness Domain.

Compared to them, Tianxuan Peak is like a backward mountain valley.

Tianxuan Peak's wealth mainly comes from the monthly offerings from Xuantian Sect. It does not own any of its own industries, so its monthly income is ultimately limited.

With Shen Tu, the top-ranked player, providing abundant resources and funding, Bai Yi can obtain a better environment for growth, thus achieving faster progress.

[After receiving rare resources from Shen Tu, resources only available to the ancient demon race, your strength has increased by leaps and bounds. In just a few months, you broke through to the Fallen Moon Realm. You can also revive more things, and the price you need to pay to pull your soul back from the cycle of reincarnation has been reduced.]

It seems my luck is very good today.

The super-powered cards that Qiu Yuelian gave her made Gui Ming, who was originally incredibly powerful and required a lot of effort, and might even require sacrificing one's life to defeat, no longer a threat. This undoubtedly gave her a lot of time to develop.

The resources Shen Tu possessed meant he no longer needed to worry about resources and money, nor did he need to go to great lengths to win over any immortal sects in order to prepare for the final battle.

However, Bai Yi soon realized that something was wrong.

[Having roughly grasped the power of the "Lord of Reincarnation" and wishing to delve deeper into its study, and seeing through the power of past lives, you discover that the resources that were always delivered on time daily have been missing for many days in a row.]

[After your investigation, you discovered that since Shen Tu generously provided resources to Tianxuan Peak and Xuantian Sect, she gained a superior position within both sects. Furthermore, she used this position to establish numerous businesses under Tianxuan Peak, causing its total assets to increase rapidly. Because Tianxuan Peak now possesses its own rapidly developing businesses, Xiao Jinxuan, believing Tianxuan Peak to be wealthy, felt she no longer needed the Xuantian Sect's resources and therefore stopped accepting the fixed monthly tribute.]

Oh no, I feel like I've been sidelined.

Bai Yi immediately saw the problem. Currently, most of Tianxuan Peak's industries are under Shen Tu's management, so all the income is in her hands, and the distribution is naturally managed by her.

Without the offerings from the Xuantian Sect, Tianxuan Peak's funding relies entirely on Shen Tu, which undoubtedly puts it in the hands of an outsider.

Moreover, why would their own master suddenly stop the Xuantian Sect's offerings?

Why not take the money I get for free every month!

Spend one action point to investigate.

[Through your subtle inquiries, I've discovered that Xiao Jinxuan has been in frequent contact with Shen Tu lately, and their relationship has grown increasingly close. Shen Tu has been playing a significant role behind the scenes in making Tianxuan Peak independent.]

You snake!

Instead of being the top female supporter, you're trying to use your resources to strangle me, aren't you?

Oh no, I have no resources or funds. Now Shen Tu has really got my fate firmly in his grasp.

The importance of money is self-evident. The main reason why Bai Yi was able to take off in the previous simulations was that he had enough resources.

When the ancient demon race invaded and I became the Human Emperor, I succeeded only because Qiu Yuelian prepared logistics for me.

The time he merged with the Heavenly Dao and transcended to become an immortal was also thanks to the Grand Elder giving him his wife's dowry, which allowed him to quickly pass through the early stages and become a powerful being.

The last time he slew the extraterrestrial demons and fought the final battle with Guiming, it was only because Bai Ze handed over all the treasures of the Innate Holy Spirit Clan to him that he was able to succeed so smoothly.

Without money and resources, one has to spend a lot more time earning money and acquiring resources, which greatly prolongs one's development time.

[After a brief period of distress due to limited resources, you did not choose to succumb to Shen Tu's overt schemes, but instead decided to achieve economic independence through your own efforts.]

Now that you are the Lord of Reincarnation, you have countless ways to make money. You no longer need to painstakingly instigate conflicts between other sects, or profit from using the world's number one fist technique or developing real estate, as you did before. You plan to accumulate wealth by seeing through your past lives and using your resurrection abilities.

If you have irreplaceable abilities, then making money is naturally a piece of cake.

In the world, the fastest way to amass wealth is through religion. Not only do people empty their pockets to donate to religion, but they also wholeheartedly love and respect it, thus expressing their support for the church.

This can be seen by looking at Buddhism.

Besides, there's another advantage to the cultivation world: you don't have to worry about a top-ranked male gunner suddenly appearing and taking you down in two shots.

Of course, Bai Yi would never do anything that would harm heaven and reason. He just needs some resources to make himself stronger, and once he becomes stronger, he will overthrow the Supreme Being and make the world a better place. This is doing the work of eliminating evil for the people, so he is a partner of justice.

[Initially, you find a down-on-his-luck cultivator whose partner died at the hands of a demonic beast. In the name of the Lord of Reincarnation, you listen to his anguish and guide him, telling him that if he converts to the Lord of Reincarnation, his wish will be granted and his beloved will be resurrected.]

The down-on-his-luck cultivator didn't believe a word you said; he thought you were just a swindler trying to cheat people out of their money.

[Knowing that facts speak louder than words, you resurrected his beloved right before his eyes. Witnessing this, the down-on-his-luck cultivator immediately believed you to be a true immortal descended to earth and offered you all his possessions. However, you asked for nothing in return, quietly departing with a single sentence.]

"Those who praise my true name will see eternal life in the cycle of reincarnation."

In the early stages, one needs to make a name for oneself. Once one's name is spread far and wide, the rudiments of a religion will be complete.

Another benefit of religion is that its followers can be anyone, regardless of their background.

Believers can be from the demonic sect, the immortal sect, or even demons.

Once this religion has developed and its followers are spread throughout the land, all it takes is a wave of my arm to attract a vast ocean of believers. At that time, let alone needing resources to ensure my development, I could even change the world without any problem!

This is much more effective than fighting a war or using violence to force others to submit.

Moreover, this is almost an open and aboveboard scheme.

Even cultivators cannot escape birth, aging, sickness, and death, and it is inevitable that they will fear death. Therefore, this being who can control life and death and resurrect people is undoubtedly the savior of these beings.

They would go to great lengths to beg me to hand over their property, just in exchange for a chance to be resurrected after death.

As for killing oneself and seizing the secret of resurrection...

Ha, let alone whether they dare to gamble on the secret of resurrection by killing themselves, even if they dare to gamble, the rest of us might not. This is a rare treasure that only exists in the world. If you kill him, it's like cutting off everyone's path to immortality. It would be strange if they didn't fight you to the death.

and.....

The imperial weapons behind me, including the White Emperor's corpse, are not just for show.

[With your help, many couples from past lives have been able to reunite, and many who have lost their dearest loved ones have been reunited. Those who have received your help consider themselves believers of the Lord of Reincarnation, spontaneously following you and becoming your devotees.]

As time went by, the name of the Lord of Reincarnation became increasingly renowned, even reaching the ears of some first-rate immortal sects and the nine great immortal sects of the Central Continent.

Your reputation has increased significantly.

[It's a new day again. As usual, you come to the followers of the Reincarnation Cult, seeking out a few suitable and devout couples. You dispel the fog of their past lives, reconnecting these lovers who have never met but made vows of eternal love in their previous existence. Or you find destitute believers who have lost their loved ones and are almost losing hope in life, rekindling their hope for the future.]

Meanwhile, for those who join the Reincarnation Cult seeking immortality, you continuously collect their funds, offer them empty promises, and tell them that everything they are paying now is for the sake of achieving immortality in reincarnation after death, returning to continue exploiting their remaining value.

Is it possible that seeing through one's past life has this kind of use?

Bai Yi was slightly surprised. In his opinion, seeing through someone's past life and unlocking those sealed memories was of little use. It was not as useful as resurrecting someone from the cycle of reincarnation. After all, it did not provide any benefit to oneself, nor could it weaken the enemy in battle, so it was not very practical.

But judging from how I used it in this simulation, it seems I can still act as a matchmaker, allowing people to rekindle their past romances.

So the Lord of Reincarnation also has the duties of the Old Man of the Moon, right?

[Having resolved another batch of believers' problems, you slowly retreated, surrounded by a group of witches, finishing your work for the day. Afterwards, the confidant you entrusted with managing the internal affairs of the Reincarnation Cult, after reporting on the recent developments, excitedly congratulated you:]

"The Lord of Reincarnation is truly formidable. Even the Tu Shan Clan, once the leader of the demon race in the Nine Provinces, whose strength rivaled that of the nine great immortal sects of the Central Province, could only continue their past lives, but could not achieve resurrection."

"Currently, some of our followers who have joined the Reincarnation Cult have become disciples of the Nine Great Immortal Sects. At this rate, we believe that our Reincarnation Cult will soon join the ranks of the Nine Great Immortal Sects of Central Continent, and becoming the tenth great immortal sect in Central Continent is not far off."
