The Reality Chip lets Sensei's Divining Top be cast off the top of the library after its second ability returns it there; Birds of Paradise pays the 1 mana cost each cycle, and Valley Floodcaller triggers on every cast to untap Birds and any Birds, Otters, Frogs, or Rats in play. The loop runs as many times as there are cards in the library, generating infinite draw triggers and near-infinite power boosts to the relevant creature types along the way.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Any mana creature that taps for 1 or more and shares a type Valley Floodcaller cares about — Birds of Paradise is the cleanest fit since it's already a Bird. The combo draws the library but needs a payoff to close: Thassa's Oracle is the canonical finisher in blue-green, and the infinite draw lines it up immediately.
