In a perfect world, you start by relying on your own strength.

"That wretched brat, I wonder which family raised such a good-for-nothing."

In the initial land of the Void God Realm, a group of cultivators gritted their teeth as Shi Geng continued to hawk his so-called brilliant strategies as if nothing had happened.

This behavior infuriated everyone, but no one dared to point out the shady dealings behind it.

No one wanted to suffer this injustice alone, so they tacitly chose to remain silent, each harboring a desire to watch the spectacle, gleefully observing the new cultivators who were arriving one after another out of curiosity, quietly waiting to see them repeat the same mistake.

"Look! That's Fairy Qingyun, and also Young Master Chiyu, Fairy Bailu, and the Dragon and Tiger Brothers..."

These once renowned and adored young prodigies in the Void God Realm are now being tossed into the wilderness like useless trash.

Their clothes and belongings were completely stripped away, all their treasures were handed over to others, and their former glory was gone. They lay on the ground, bruised and swollen, utterly humiliated.

The cultivators who had been thrown into the wilderness were stunned at first, but then their eyes flashed with mockery and pleasure.

Even a group of geniuses were defeated by this brat, which greatly reduced their sense of imbalance. They all crossed their arms and waited to see what would happen next.

Shi Geng dusted off his sleeves and was about to turn back to his stall to continue hawking his wares when suddenly a burst of spiritual light appeared in mid-air, and an ancient stone tablet materialized out of thin air. The tablet shone brightly, and a line of gilded characters gleamed so brightly that everyone could hardly open their eyes.

The entire place was initially deathly silent, with everyone's eyes fixed on the inscription, before it suddenly exploded.

"This...this can actually break a record?"

"The biggest scam ever? When did the Realm of the Gods have such a bizarre record?!"

A cacophony of voices rose and fell, filled with astonishment and uproar. The inscription on the stone tablet clearly recorded: Shi Gen, located in the initial territory, swindled hundreds of cultivators in a very short time, instantly earning the title of the most notorious swindler in the area.

The fallen cultivators' faces alternated between pale and flushed, filled with anger and embarrassment. The onlookers were even more bewildered, none of them having imagined that this brat could pull off such an outrageous feat in the Void God Realm.

Shi Geng stared at the name on the monument, raised an eyebrow, and muttered in dissatisfaction, "What fraud? This is a genuine strategy guide. It's clearly because their foundation is too weak. They couldn't even reach the extreme level of the Blood Transformation Realm. Who can they blame?"

Upon hearing this, the faces of the defeated group in the wilderness turned as black as the bottom of a pot. However, they could not find a reason to refute it, so they could only suppress their anger and grit their teeth in silence.

The surrounding cultivators found it both funny and exasperating; this brat was not only ruthless in his actions, but also incredibly sharp-tongued.

The stone tablet still glows with spiritual light, and the four large characters "The Greatest Fraud" hang prominently, leaving behind an unprecedented bizarre record in the original land of the virtual god realm.

Ignoring the various gazes from others, Shi Geng turned around and returned to his stall, continuing to shout his wares at the top of his lungs.

However, as the reputation of being the "greatest fraudster" spread rapidly throughout the Void God Realm, the cultivators who arrived later were all on guard.

No matter how eloquently Shi Geng spoke, everyone just watched from afar, and no one dared to approach him. After most of the day, he had only caught a few naive fish, with meager earnings.

Shi Geng's face turned ashen, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "What bad luck! Not only did breaking this record bring me no reward, but it also cut off my source of income, causing me to lose a lot of precious stones for nothing."

He looked at the deserted stall, then glanced at the still gleaming stone tablet, and felt a surge of displeasure.

This is cutting off his source of income. Once the reputation gets out, I'm afraid no one will come to patronize him anymore.

Seeing his appearance, the surrounding cultivators suppressed their laughter, but no one dared to step forward and provoke him. After all, although this brat was hated, his strength was not to be underestimated. In this initial land, no one of the same realm could match him. He had already beaten dozens of the geniuses of those great clans.

Many powerful clans' prodigies even brought their treasures to help, but none of them could do anything to this brat. Right now, in this primordial land, it seems that no one can restrain him anymore.

Many people shook their heads upon seeing this, saying that Shi Geng was already invincible in this initial land.

"This child has an extraordinary foundation and is destined to achieve amazing things in the future. It's just unknown which top clan he comes from."

Some people are very optimistic about him. Shi Geng is only at the Blood Transformation Realm now, but he has already shown an invincible aura that looks down on his peers. Given time to grow steadily, he will surely become a giant in his own right.

"I don't think the situation is very optimistic." Others hold a different view: "He has offended many powerful families and has already accumulated a lot of grudges. If he doesn't have a top-tier power backing him up, he will inevitably face retribution sooner or later."

Throughout history, countless geniuses with exceptional talent have perished along the way. For ordinary prodigies to grow up safely, they mostly need the protection of their sects and clans. Only a very few independent cultivators can truly rise to prominence and become powerful figures in their own right.

Hearing the whispers of others, Shi Geng paid them no heed.

Seeing that no one was buying anything from his stall, he simply packed up and started wandering among the crowd, promoting his walkthrough to everyone he met.

He currently has a lot of debt, and if he doesn't hurry up and earn more money, how will he pay it off? He doesn't want to work to pay off his debts.

"Sir, would you like a walkthrough?"

Shi Geng quickly stepped forward, grabbed an old man, and handed him a secret plan in a brocade pouch with a smile.

The old man waved his hand and coughed twice. "I have no use for this. But what about that talisman bone you have? Are you interested in selling it?"

He had just witnessed this little guy tricking quite a few people, so naturally he wouldn't buy this so-called strategy guide. His gaze remained fixed on that rare talisman bone from beginning to end.

"You mean this?"

Shi Geng raised an eyebrow and reached into his robes to take out the talisman bone he had obtained from breaking through the initial passage. Many people had come to buy it before, but he had refused them all.

The old man stared at the talisman bone, his eyes suddenly lighting up. He grinned, "What a find! Such a primitive talisman bone is extremely rare and valuable. If you're willing to part with it, I'm happy to exchange it for a large quantity of fine jade!"

Shi Geng twirled the talisman bone between his fingers, his expression indifferent: "Thank you for your high regard, sir, but I have no intention of selling this item for the time being."

The old man, unwilling to give up, stepped forward and spoke with even greater sincerity: "Young friend, why not reconsider? This treasure is indeed precious, but it's useless to you in the short term. How about I give you ten thousand fine jade coins in exchange for selling it to me?"

Upon hearing that the other party had offered ten thousand fine jades, Shi Geng was slightly taken aback, not expecting the old man to be so generous.

But after a moment's thought, he slowly shook his head. This was no ordinary object; it was a primordial treasure bone left behind by an ancient species.

On the surface of the bone, intricate and mysterious runes flowed endlessly, their shapes constantly changing, vaguely revealing the ancient marks unique to the ancient species.

These runes are the original imprints passed down through generations of ancient races, containing immense divinity and serving as the natural carriers of top-tier magical techniques.

His purpose in entering the world for this experience was not only to hone himself, but also to search for talisman bones and seek out precious techniques. He would never easily part with such a fortuitous opportunity.
