To Jiang Chen, he has just merged the chakras of **Indra and Ashura**, awakening the long-lost **Power of the Six Paths.** The fallout is immediate. His fiancée, a "Heaven’s Chosen" who recently contracted with the Fifth Mizukage, **Mei Terumi**, delivers her cold ultimatum in front of the world’s cameras: > "The Jiang family needs a titan of the Kage-rank to survive the Otsutsuki, not a fool who plays with children. I am now a Kage-level Contractor; my path leads to the stars, while yours ends in the dirt. The engagement is over. From now on you aren't even worthy to stand in my shadow. **Get lost.**" Jiang Chen only smiles. They see two Genin; he sees the super experts who ended the War.

Li Tang was reborn on the eve of the new millennium. He knew the trajectory of the mining market over the next twenty years, had the coordinates of every newly discovered supermine, and understood the intricate details of century-defining mergers between mining giants. While experts lamented that all the rich mines were in the hands of major players and that the giants were troubled by aging and depleting resources, turning from exploration to ruthless corporate takeovers... A group from the East kept working miracles—discovering deeply buried, shockingly rich mineral deposits again and again. From scorching deserts, frozen Arctic lands, and uninhabited primeval forests, they extracted tons of ore. Fully loaded cargo ships, the industrial lifeline, thundered across the seas toward the East.

When he speaks, the world listens. One foreign mining analyst exclaimed: “He is already the sole mining oligarch on Earth!” Thank you for the support, friends.

[A/N: no harem, no ecchi, no NTR, no yuri, no damn short lived fulfillment. If you're here for these, then you probably don't want to add this to your collection] Main Synopsis ↓ Let me be honest with you. I'm Ren Mora. Weakest student in Silvic High. No ability, no rank, no business being here. For almost three years, I've been everyone's favourite punching bag. Which, honestly, takes more skill than people give me credit for. Then I died. Briefly. And apparently, that was enough to qualify me for a system. Not the generous kind that hands you godlike powers and a harem. The inconvenient kind, that throws me into life-threatening tournaments, assigns me a holographic guide with zero sympathy, and calls becoming stronger a process. I've beaten bullies. Survived gang ambushes. Walked into a rival school and started a fight I probably shouldn't have. And somewhere between all of that, I ended up with an S-rank ability nobody can explain and a best friend I refuse to admit I had until it was too late. Now there's a government academy, a conspiracy that runs deeper than I want to know, and a system that's been lying to me since day one. Graduation can't come fast enough.

I just show this beauty to the audience. Reporter: It seems that something strange has mixed in?
