My Longevity Simulation

Chapter 575

“Zhou Qingang” explained his reasoning methodically. Upon hearing this, Gao Yuan couldn’t help but slap the table in admiration, exclaiming, “If this plan succeeds, nearly all the cultivators of the Congyun Sea will owe a debt of gratitude to the esteemed Lord Envoy.”

“Even if the two Soul Transformation Immortal Monarchs, Hongxi and Ziyun, return, they will have to carefully consider the consequences of opposing the Lord Envoy.”

“Our lord’s foresight is truly unparalleled, strategizing not just one step ahead, but a hundred steps. It’s beyond the comprehension of ordinary minds.”

The seemingly simple wealth accumulation plan turned out to have so many intricate layers that He Zhenghao couldn’t help but marvel at its brilliance.

Both men were deeply impressed.

However, they failed to notice a critical flaw in the seemingly flawless plan.

The key issue was whether Li Fan could genuinely achieve the promised “200% returns within five years” after absorbing an astronomical amount of contributions.

Perhaps it was because of Li Fan’s prior demonstrations of incredible, seemingly impossible abilities, which had subtly brainwashed them.

Or perhaps they had filled in the gaps of their imagination, believing Li Fan to be a fallen Longevity Immortal Heavenly Sovereign. Their trust in his abilities had reached a point where they no longer doubted him.

Ultimately, they harbored no skepticism about Li Fan’s ability to achieve the goals of this fundraising plan.

After all, what’s a mere threefold return in five years?

How could such a thing stump the revered Lord Secret Envoy?

But in reality...

Even if Li Fan had reincarnated countless times in the Congyun Sea, possessing unparalleled foresight, this time, it was truly beyond his capabilities.

It wasn’t a question of his ability but a practical limitation. Once an asset base grows to a certain scale, doubling it becomes exponentially harder.

To put it bluntly, Li Fan was merely a speculator, profiting from buying low and selling high.

He was not a creator of wealth.

Unlike the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, he couldn’t generate contribution points infinitely and without restriction.

While he might manage to double a few million contribution points through skillful maneuvering, if the amount reached several billion or more...

Unless another unprecedented war broke out between the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Association—one he could anticipate in advance—it would be impossible. ɽ�

But it didn’t matter that he couldn’t deliver.

After all, from the beginning, he had never intended to fulfill the promised returns.

That’s why the fundraising plan was set to be closed for five years.

By the time five years passed, the Crimson Flame would engulf the Congyun Sea, reducing it to a wasteland.

With everyone dead, there would be no need to repay the debts.

“Present!” He Zhenghao quickly responded.

“Select some representatives from the cultivators who participated in the previous fundraising plan. Arrange a meeting in ten days so I can personally explain the details of the five-year plan and reassure everyone.” Li Fan’s voice was steady and commanding.

Receiving this order, He Zhenghao felt a glimmer of relief and promptly agreed.

“Gao Yuan!”

“Present!” Gao Yuan’s voice trembled.

“Compile a list of the Congyun Sea cultivators who perished in the recent war in Tianling Prefecture. Submit it to me in ten days.”

Gao Yuan quickly agreed as well.

The light from the Divine Spirit Jade Slip grew dim, eventually fading away entirely.

The jade slip fell to the ground with a soft thud, accompanied by Li Fan’s final words:

“Remember, in my absence, Zhou Qingang has full authority to act on my behalf.”

“His words are my orders!”

Zhou Qingang bowed slightly, expressing gratitude to the Lord Envoy, a faint smirk betraying his sense of triumph.

He Zhenghao and Gao Yuan felt a pang of regret and jealousy.

“The trust of the Lord Envoy was supposed to belong to us!”

Yet they dared not complain, obediently carrying out their orders.

With Li Fan personally confirming the plan, He Zhenghao and Gao Yuan diligently executed his will, terrified of failure.

Years of careful management had given the two better control over Congyun Sea City than Li Fan himself.

Under their direction, news of the imminent conclusion of the great war and the new fundraising plan spread throughout the cultivators of the Congyun Sea within a single day.

The revelations caused a great stir, leaving many unsettled.

Countless messages were sent to He Zhenghao, inquiring about the truth of the situation.

He Zhenghao naturally embellished the story further.

Thus, ten days later, a gathering of cultivators eagerly awaited Li Fan’s arrival.
