Transmigrated as Investment Banker in Cultivation world

"I have bad news, Manager," Sebastian's face was grim.

Beside him, the usually lively Borrito was also quiet; something seemed to be weighing on his mind.

"The Blackthorn Empire is gone."

Sebastian carefully looked at David's face to watch his expression.

However, David just nodded his head casually, as if the destruction of the Empire had nothing to do with him.

This made Sebastian curious. Blackthorn Empire was David's home; shouldn't he feel sad?

David only felt regretful in his heart; if only he had enough money, he could have made a killing.

This was just his initial reaction, but quickly a sense of urgency started to take root in his heart.

After the Blackthorn Empire, it was the Rising Sun Empire and the Nether Empire's turn; they were not safe either.

But this danger also represented a huge opportunity for David.

His eyes suddenly flashed with calculating light, and a plan started to take shape in his head.

Border of Blackthorn Empire.

The Black Curtain slowly moved like a harvester in a fully ripe field; as soon as any living being came in contact with it, they would instantly vaporize.

Animals, monsters, humans, or any other races. The curtain didn't discriminate, treating everyone equally.

At this time, hundreds of thousands of people were running for their lives, doing their best to escape as far away as possible.

If you were to look from the sky, the living beings would appear similar to ants.

Mindless scrambling.

There were even Sithians and Heraths mixed in the group.

Some people seemed to have accepted their fate and willingly jumped into the black curtain.

They were the people who had lost everything.

The Black Curtain was unbothered by the ants' escape and continued to move at its pace.

Hell! The curtain didn't even spare the soil on the ground or the air in the atmosphere. Whether living or nonliving, everyone was treated with the same ruthlessness.

At this time, four figures appeared in mid-air.

The four people were the rulers of the respective Empires.

Queen Lamia Sithian had a dark expression on her face as she looked at the crowd below.

Arknos said while sighing, "Don't think about it too much; they were going to die anyway."

"If with their help we can escape this godforsaken place, then it's their honor."

No one other than Arknos knew the reality of their world better than him.

The world treated them like crops, letting them develop for a thousand years....

"Sigh! Just guide them towards the Rising Sun Empire." Ultimate Heaven Emperor also sighed and started moving downward.

Although Lamia understood their logic, she didn't agree with it.

"If only I could..." Lamia blamed herself. If only she could break through?

Alas! She had given up. The curtain wasn't going to wait for her.

"What a hypocrite," the Nether Empress sneered in her heart.

Why was she acting like a saint now?

If she truly cares about her people, why doesn't she fight alongside them?

While thinking, she descended downwards.

"Everyone move towards the Rising Sun Empire." Ultimate Heaven Emperor's words echoed in the surroundings.

"OMG! Ultimate Heaven Emperor," someone from the crowd recognized Ultimate Heaven Emperor and shouted in a loud voice.

"Look, Nether Empress," someone pointed in the air and said.

The big shots followed Ultimate Heaven Emperor's example and repeated the same words.

The people on the ground were quickly convinced.

Sithians and humans who were going toward the Nether Empire changed their direction.

Hundreds of thousands of people started to move toward the Rising Sun Empire with hope in their hearts.

However, there was no one left in the Rising Sun Empire to welcome them except a few young unawakened children.

The past year had been absolutely horrifying for the residents of the Rising Sun Empire, with thousands of people dying every day until no one was left.

Meanwhile, in the Rising Sun Empire, the sky was filled with dark clouds, with thunder occasionally striking the ground from time to time.

It was a scene straight out of the apocalypse.

Emperor Damien Rising Sun was floating in the air.

Suddenly, he opened his tightly closed eyes.

"If only there were more people in the Empire," he lightly muttered.

However, his muttering seemed to have angered the world as in the next moment, a lightning bolt as thick as a person's waist struck his head.

Damien looked at this scene and only coldly sneered.

"Rage all you want! As if it was going to change anything."

Boom!

Another lightning bolt, even bigger than the previous one, fell on his head again.

"Hahaha," Damien laughed wildly, not at all bothered by the lightning bolt.

With every passing moment, his aura skyrocketed; it wouldn't be long before he could finally break through.

"Hey, we seem to have some affinity with each other for us to meet here."

"Here, take this money," David said, acting like a magnanimous senior.

A young man blankly looked at David, not understanding what was going on.

This black-haired man, along with three people, suddenly stopped him and handed him a bag full of spirit stones.

Although momentarily confused, the young man wasn't going to say no to extra spirit stones.

In the next moment, he calmly accepted the spirit stones.

David watched the young man walking away with a plain expression on his face.

He silently prayed for the young man's death in his heart.

These days, David was moving towards the Ultimate Heaven Empire with his companions.

Occasionally, he would scan the passing crowd to look for talented individuals. When he found one, he would give them a decent amount of spirit stones.

In reality, David wanted to give spirit stones to everyone, but sadly he didn't have enough spirit or even time for that matter.

His companions were looking at him weirdly, wondering why he was being so overly generous.

Only Borrito had a pained expression on his face whenever he watched David giving spirit stones for free without a care in the world.

However, as time passed, Burrito became numb and didn't react.

"Hey, you guys over there, stop!" A loud voice filled with authority reverberated in the surroundings.
