Chapter 1: As Long as I’m Killed, Invincibility is Attained
In the grand capital of Great Zhou, Shengjing.
Within the magnificent palace, a man dressed in a green official robe widened his eyes.
“So, I’ve really crossed over like this?”
His name was Ye Ning, originally just a regular worker enjoying the benefits of the Earth’s 996 system. After a drunken stupor, he unexpectedly crossed over to another world.
Through reading the memories of the original owner, Ye Ning understood this world.
The structure of the world was somewhat similar to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. There was the Zhou Emperor at the top, titled as the Lord of All Under Heaven, but in reality, the Zhou Dynasty was gradually weakening, and its luck was fading.
The Nine Provinces of the world, of which six were divided and granted to appease the vassals, became the six kingdoms: Qi, Chu, Wei, Wu, Qin, and Yan.
These six kingdoms were ambitious and were all eyeing the supreme position of the emperor.
Behind these six kingdoms were also six huge immortal sects.
Among these six major immortal sects were powerful individuals who could ascend to the sky. It was said that there were even true immortals on the land, possessing terrifying powers to move mountains and seas, and control winds and rain.
In short, this was a world full of wonders and dangers with an extremely high risk factor.
Ordinary people like Ye Ning could be directly killed by encountering strong individuals with just a sneeze of bad luck.
But Ye Ning wasn’t worried at all.
Because he had a cheat.
As a transmigrator, it was not good manners to meet others without bringing a cheat along.
His cheat was exceptionally straightforward and crude, summed up in just a few words.
“Become invincible after death!”
Yes, the explanation given by the system was just that direct. As long as the host died, they could immediately inherit all the power stored in the system and become the Heavenly Emperor of the upper realm.
The Heavenly Emperor was the supreme strongman!
According to the system’s introduction, throughout the heavens, there had only been eight Heavenly Emperors from ancient times to the present, each one was an unparalleled existence.
In other words, as long as Ye Ning kicked the bucket, he could immediately become the strongest in the world!
Ye Ning wasn’t surprised at all.
The reason the six kingdoms could become the six kingdoms was not only because of the powerful forces of the royal families but also because they were supported by the immortal sects.
The immortal sects used the six kingdoms as pawns, making moves one after another, aiming to seize the throne.
Once successful, with the gathering of the world’s luck, it would also be a great opportunity for the immortal sects.
In the past, when the world was unified, the Zhou Emperor enjoyed the nine provinces alone. Now, the land was divided, with six of the nine provinces already taken by the six kingdoms. And today, another behemoth immortal sect, the “Feather Transformation Sect,” entered the stage, supporting the Li family of Jinyang, intending to seize the land of Bingzhou and establish a “Jin Kingdom.”
Once successful, the six kingdoms would become seven.
By then, the people of the world would certainly be more disappointed in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and with a significant decline in public support, the already thin luck of the dynasty would suffer a heavy blow.
When the luck completely dissipated, the national fortune shattered, it would be the time for the Great Zhou to perish, and the time for the kings to contend.
This, scholars knew, commoners knew, eunuchs in the palace knew, palace maids, noblewomen knew. Everyone knew.
Among them, there were those who felt righteous indignation, and those who sighed.
But it was all meaningless.
The overall situation was like this, the immortal sects were pressing. They were eating away at Great Zhou step by step, like a blunt knife cutting flesh.
The trend had already formed, what could be done?
The high and mighty Great Zhou Emperor could only step back step by step.
Today’s morning court would definitely be a brutal battlefield.
From a certain perspective, it was related to the life and death of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
Ye Ning arrived at the Golden Luang Palace and found that the civil and military officials were no longer sighing.
Everyone’s expression was solemn, their demeanor dull, like statues made of clay.
Obviously, they were mentally prepared.
The courtiers and ministers who were good at protecting themselves wisely, most likely wouldn’t dare to oppose the immortal sects and the six kingdoms.
Holding the imperial seal and standing in the shadow of the hall, Ye Ning’s eyes lit up.
“The chance to court death has come!”
