Primordial Era: I, Yuan Hong, am solely focused on stability; humanity remains clear-headed

Reborn into the perilous Primordial Era, a modern youth finds himself inhabiting the body of Yuan Hong—the legendary Long-Armed Ape Monkey and one of the Four Chaotic Monkeys. In original destiny, Yuan Hong was manipulated by the Chan Sect's Immortal Jade Cauldron to become a tragic scapegoat, ultimately perishing and being posthumously reduced to one of the Four Wasted Stars. Knowing the grim fate that awaits during the impending Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, Yuan Hong adopts a strict philosophy of absolute caution and unwavering stability. However, caught in the crosshairs of powerful immortals and seemingly rejected by heaven and earth from birth, survival demands more than just hiding. Fortunately, he awakens the God-Level Investment Return System, gaining the power to reap up to ten-thousand-fold returns on every investment he makes. In a world dictated by gods, demons, and ruthless heavenly dao, Yuan Hong focuses entirely on cultivating his own strength through relentless self-investment. While the rest of the world descends into chaos and schemes, he remains steadfast, plotting quietly in the shadows until the day he holds the power to rewrite destiny itself.
