Deep inside the three-hundred-story obsidian pyramid of Vault #1, the air was chilled to absolute zero.
The throne chamber was carved from abyssal dragon-stone, vast as a cavern and dark as an unlit grave.

Ancestor Tian Li.
[Ancestor Tian Li. Supreme Sovereign of Vault #1. Peak Rank 9 Dao-Ancestor. Goodness Score: -98 / 100.]
Fifty thousand years ago, Tian Li was the first immortal in the Milky Way to realize that spiritual swords and divine talismans were inefficient tools of conquest.
He realized that by lending spirit-stones at compound interest, an immortal could conquer entire civilizations without fighting a single war.
He had created the infamous Ten-Generation Dragon Mortgages that forced the ancient Golden Dragon Clan to surrender their dragon-pearls.
