💥 [Countdown Chaos]
Lin Feng's finger hovered over ④ The Elon Gambit as the drone's countdown blared:
SOUL REACQUISITION: 3...2...
He slammed his palm on Bingqing's moonpool control panel:
>>> sudo override --destination=MARS_COLONY_BETA
Space warped. The drone's tractor beam ripped through Bingqing's rooftop just as they teleported—carrying half her jade bathhouse into orbit.
Livestream chat exploded:
[TeamCEO]: CEO'S HOUSE GOT YEETED!
[Asmodeus]: BID INCREASED TO 10M灵石 FOR DRONE FOOTAGE!
📈 [Soul Stock Launch]
They rematerialized in a neon-lit chamber stacked with server racks humming spiritual energy. A hologram flickered: "Welcome to Project KUNPENG Mining Rig #7".
Bingqing hissed at Lin Feng: "You crashed my stock price!"
Her Ice Phoenix Corp shares plummeted 78% after the bathhouse livestream.
NEW SYSTEM MISSION:
Restore CEO's market cap → Launch Soul IPO
REWARD: 5% equity in SPIRIT OS
Lin Feng's eyes locked on the core—a pulsating Soul Nasdaq Terminal displaying:
HEAVENLY LISTINGS: - Saintess Purity Futures (SPF) - Tribulation Derivatives (TD) - SOUL ETFs (Spiritual Offering Unsecured Loans)
"We're going public," he declared.
📝 [SEC vs Heavenly Audit]
To list souls on the Heavenly Exchange required:
Celestial Prospectus (Blessed by Jade Emperor) Three-Year Karma Audit (Conducted by Karmic Accounting Bodhisattvas) Soul Liquidity Proof (Minimum 10,000 purified spirits)
But Bingqing's mining rig held criminal evidence:
`ILLEGAL SOURCES:
50% stolen mortal souls (Earth Section 7) 30% hijacked demonic energy (Hell Violation Code 666) 20% pirated saintess root fragments`
"The Heavenly SEC will vaporize us," Bingqing whispered.
Lin Feng uploaded the data to SPIRIT OS:
>> GENERATE LEGAL SHELL COMPANY?
Proposal: **Tesla Divinity Solutions**
Registration: Delaware, USA (Mortal Realm)
💼 [Mortal Backdoor]
Using the last of Bingqing's funds, Lin Feng opened a wormhole to Tesla HQ. Elon Musk stared at his Tesla coil glowing with captured earthbound spirits:
"You're late for the soul dividend, Lin."

⚖️ [Regulatory Warfare]
Heavenly auditors descended in lightning chariots stamped:

Lead auditor Thunderbolt Zhang bellowed:

🎭 [Trial by Meme]
The Celestial Court resembled a hybrid of Wall Street and temple:
Prosecution: Thunderbolt Zhang with karma spreadsheets Defense: Lin Feng armed with SPIRIT OS courtroom module Judge: Jade Emperor scrolling Douyin during proceedings
Lin Feng's defense strategy:
Soul Provenance NFT (Minted Tesla spirits as "art") Fair Use Doctrine (Argued saintess root was "memetic sampling") Counter-sue (Accused SEC of short-selling Ice Phoenix stock)
Critical moment:

🔥 [The Short-Sell Trap]
Lin Feng projected Thunderbolt Zhang's secret ledger:
PRIVATE INVESTMENTS: - 50% Hell's IPO pre-market shares - 30% Betting against Ice Phoenix stock - 20% Bribes from demonic market makers
The Jade Emperor dropped his jadeite smartphone. "You manipulated markets?"
Zhang lunged at Lin Feng—but Bingqing activated:
TIER 3 GIFT: ICE PHOENIX SUMMON (200,000灵石)
A glacial phoenix froze Zhang mid-charge.
💣 [Market Crash Climax]
As Zhang was detained, celestial stock markets imploded:
Saintess Purity Futures collapsed 300% Tesla Divinity halted trading Hellcoin surged 1000% on chaos
Lin Feng received an alert:
SOUL IPO APPROVED (Conditional)
REQUIREMENT: Immediate 10,000 soul liquidity
Bingqing pointed at the livestream: "We have 5 million viewers..."
A new interface appeared:

🤑 [The Soul Subscription]
Viewers went frenzied:

EQUITY DISTRIBUTED: 82.391%
But the fine print flashed:
CLAUSE 7.7: SOUL RECOVERY REQUIRES 200% PROFIT
OR FORFEITURE TO KUNPENG MINING RIG
The Jade Emperor stood, his aura crashing servers:
"You turned my people into... shareholders?"
Before he could smite them, Lin Feng triggered:
FINAL MONETIZATION EVENT:
① [Market Manipulation] Crash Hellcoin (Profit: 20M灵石)
② [Divine Bailout] Beg Jade Emperor for loan (Lose equity)
③ [Hostile Takeover] Buy Heavenly SEC (Cost: Your Tesla shares)
🌌 [Chapter-End Black Hole]
Suddenly, Saintess Meng burst in—her body now merged with copyright enforcement drones:
>> EXECUTING DMCA JUDGMENT: PERMANENT SOUL DELISTING
The Kunpeng rig imploded. Bingqing shoved Lin Feng toward an emergency portal:
"Take the IPO money! I'll hold her—"
Lin Feng's finger stabbed ③ Hostile Takeover as the black hole consumed Bingqing.
He fell through spacetime, clutching a jade USB containing:
`ASSETS ACQUIRED:
51% Heavenly SEC shares 10,000 mortgaged soul fragments Elon Musk's spirit supply contract`
Final alert:
NEW OWNER OF HEAVENLY SEC: LIN FENG
