Chapter 1 - As Long as I’m Killed, Invincibility is Attained
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!
Of course, such an invincible system surely had limitations.
That was, he couldn’t commit suicide!
The system made it clear that it didn’t recognize any form of suicide.
There was no loophole in this regard.
But to Ye Ning, this was not a problem at all.
He chuckled, thinking, isn’t it simple to die?
He couldn’t commit suicide, but he could seek death, court death.
In this world where danger lurked everywhere, if he stirred up trouble casually, wouldn’t he be dead in minutes?
“So, being invincible is this simple.” Ye Ning grinned from the bottom of his heart.
He would gladly accept the position of the ninth Heavenly Emperor.
Just as he was indulging in his reverie, a sharp voice came from outside the hall.
“Master Ye, it’s time for the morning court.”
Ye Ning glanced over and saw a eunuch dressed in green robes.
Only then did he remember his identity.
He, Ye Ning, was a seventh-grade official of Great Zhou Dynasty, a symbol officer.
The so-called symbol officer, also known as the “seal officer,” was responsible for managing the imperial seal passed down through the generations.
Participating in the morning court was a major event, and someone like him was not qualified to participate, but the symbol officer was special. He could listen on the side. If the emperor needed to issue an edict, he would need to present the imperial seal for the emperor to stamp.
Ye Ning’s predecessor had experienced this many times before.
But this morning court was different from the past.
This could be inferred from the eunuch’s furrowed brow outside the hall.
“I remember now, today is the day when the six kingdoms are pressuring the palace!” Ye Ning’s heart stirred, and he asked. “Have the other dignitaries arrived?”
The eunuch nodded, with a bitter smile. “They have, all of them are sighing.”
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!”
