"Reinforce the border areas adjacent to King Qi's territory, and deploy another 100,000 iron cavalry from Beiliang to be on high alert against King Wu!"
"I'm asking several generals to personally stand guard there!"
"I'll go and tell my father about this."
"If King Qi dares to attack Beiliang, kill them all!"
Li Luo stood up with an aura of authority befitting one of high status.
It was hard to imagine that at the mere age of nineteen, he could possess such prestige.
"Yes, sir!"
The five generals revealed a hint of excitement on their faces before leaving the royal residence.
"Ding!"
"System loading complete!"
"Welcome to the Summoning System of the Myriad Worlds..."
Hearing the voice in his mind, Li Luo was instantly filled with excitement.
His golden finger had finally finished loading!
Li Luo's consciousness quickly entered the system.
"Ding!"
"Host binding successful!"
"Ding! System assistance activated successfully!"
"Ding!"
System: [Congratulations, host! You've obtained the newcomer's gift pack, with 5 chances to summon from the Myriad Worlds!]
"Summon from the Myriad Worlds? What does that mean?" Li Luo asked, puzzled.
System: [With summoning chances, the host can use this system to summon powerful beings from various planes of existence to follow your commands.]
Li Luo was immediately overjoyed. This was perfect, as Beiliang was in need of talents right now.
He didn't expect the system to send him a pillow when he wanted to take a nap.
System: [Does the host wish to use a summoning chance?]
Li Luo pondered for a moment before responding.
"Use it!"
As his voice fell, a boundless starry sky suddenly appeared before his eyes, with countless dimensional planes flashing past him.
The shocking sight left Li Luo's heart pounding with awe.
Among the twinkling planes, there existed the Three Kingdoms Plane, the Great Qin Plane, the Cannon Fodder Plane, the Mythological Plane, and more...
Seeing these planes, Li Luo couldn't help but grow excited.
If he summoned deities from the Mythological Plane, wouldn't Beiliang take off instantly?!
Several massive planes flashed by rapidly, finally stopping on one.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, host! You have successfully summoned from the Cannon Fodder Plane!]
[Out of 5 summons, 2 have failed!]
[Successfully summoned: Li Ergou, Lu Renjia, Shan Pao]
As the system voice ended, three figures quietly appeared before Li Luo.
Li Ergou: Mid-stage of the Great Evolution Realm.
Note: From the Cannon Fodder Plane, possesses the penetrating eyes bloodline and can use penetrating vision!
Lu Renjia: Mid-stage of the Spirit Sea Realm.
Note: From the Cannon Fodder Plane, possesses the art of making drawings real!
Shan Pao: Early-stage of the Spirit Sea Realm.
Note: From the Cannon Fodder Plane, possesses control over strange bugs!
Loyalty: 100%
Seeing their information displayed in the system, Li Luo was overjoyed.
For his first summons, he had drawn three cannon fodder...
But upon seeing Li Ergou was at the Great Evolution Realm, his earlier worries vanished instantly.
With Li Ergou, in addition to his father, Beiliang now had two Great Evolution Realm experts guarding it.
"Greetings, master!"
The three knelt down before Li Luo in unison.
The system had just informed Li Luo that it had modified the three's memories.
Their memories were altered so that they believed Li Luo had revived them after their downfall.
"Please rise."
"From now on, just call me Young Master."
Li Luo helped the three to their feet.
They nodded slightly.
After successfully summoning the three, Li Luo studied the system for a while.
He discovered that after summoning them, the system had gained a Reputation value.
Aside from exchanging Reputation for summoning chances,
He could also use Reputation to level up.
However, Reputation would only start accumulating from now on.
Li Luo's current cultivation level was at the Ascending Spirit Realm.
The cultivation realms of the Holy Sky Continent were segmented as: Tempering Spirit Realm, Constructing Spirit Realm, Ascending Spirit Realm, Spirit Sea Realm, Great Evolution Realm, Return to Emptiness Realm...
For someone his age to cultivate to the Ascending Spirit Realm already marked extraordinary talent.
Now, with the system, Beiliang finally had sufficient confidence to vie for dominion.
Li Luo brought the three along as he left the pavilion, intending to go meet with that Crown Prince.
At this time, in the royal palace.
Li Beixiong was granting an audience to the current Crown Prince, Qin Yu.
As Li Luo had guessed, Qin Yun had sent him to request Beiliang to dispatch troops to reinforce the imperial capital.
If that failed, then at least Beiliang should send troops to suppress the three rebelling kings.
"Your Highness, beyond Beiliang is the desolate wilderness. Once our Beiliang army leaves, the wilderness tribes will surely take advantage and invade en masse!"
"Therefore, for the sake of the dynasty's safety, I'm afraid I cannot obey His Majesty's order to mobilize."
"However, you may return and report to His Majesty that Li Beixiong of Beiliang remains utterly loyal to the dynasty!"
"I absolutely will not let the Liyang Dynasty fall into the hands of treacherous officials and rebels!"
Li Beixiong seated on the throne responded mildly.
Upon hearing Li Beixiong's words, Qin Yu's expression turned ugly.
Still unwilling to give up, he continued:
"Then I ask that King Beiliang swiftly dispatch troops, otherwise I'm afraid the imperial capital cannot withstand King Wu and King Jin!"
Li Beixiong's face darkened as a faint murderous aura emanated from his body.
This pup didn't understand words?!
They hadn't even rebelled yet, so remaining loyal to the Liyang clan could be considered decent of them.
Wanting them to reinforce? Dream on!
Seeing the terrifying aura around Li Beixiong, Qin Yu was also frightened.
A man beside Qin Yu immediately shielded him.
"King Beiliang, what are you trying to do?!"
"Don't tell me you want to defy your superiors?!"
Li Beixiong's eyes narrowed as killing intent flashed through them.
A mere Spirit Sea Realm dare yell arrogantly before him?!
Just as Li Beixiong was about to make a move,
Li Luo arrived with Li Ergou and the other two.
Seeing Li Luo's arrival, the murderous aura around Li Beixiong vanished entirely, his face beaming with smiles.
Compared to earlier, he seemed like a different person altogether.
"My son, you've arrived. Quick, come and sit. Don't exert yourself!"
Li Beixiong hurriedly stood up and gave his seat to Li Luo.
And Li Luo sat down unceremoniously in Li Beixiong's spot, crossing one leg over the other.
Li Ergou and the two others stood behind Li Luo.
Li Beixiong's gaze fell upon them, and his body shook as astonishment flashed through his eyes.
"My son, these three..."
As a Great Evolution Realm expert, Li Beixiong naturally could discern Li Ergou's level.
He didn't expect this young man to be at the Great Evolution Realm despite his youth.
His heart was filled with shock.
"These three are talented and eccentric people who've come to serve me. Don't ask any more, father!"
Li Luo waved his hand, too lazy to explain to his father.
"Oh, oh, of course, father won't pry..."
Li Beixiong suppressed his astonishment and nodded repeatedly.
Qin Yu beside them looked at Li Luo, a trace of surprise in his eyes.
It seemed the outside rumors were true. All of Beiliang belonged not to King Beiliang, but to his son, Li Luo.
"Prince..."
Qin Yu had just opened his mouth when Li Luo interjected:
"Your Highness, there's no need to say more!"
"I've heard the conversation between you and my father."
"My father is utterly loyal to the Liyang Dynasty and would never betray Liyang!"
"But Beiliang also cannot mobilize troops, otherwise the wilderness tribes may invade and harm the Liyang commoners."
"Therefore, for the greater good, I ask that Your Highness return and tell His Majesty to guard the capital well. When Beiliang can spare the forces, we will naturally support the capital."
"Yes, as my son says, I, Li Beixiong, am utterly loyal to the Liyang Dynasty and would never betray it."
"Tell His Majesty not to worry. When Beiliang can spare troops, I will personally lead them to reinforce the capital!"
Li Beixiong spoke passionately and patted his chest to reassure Qin Yu.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ... [The Eldest Princess's Diary] [When my soul was extracted, becoming the sole spectator outside my own shell] [At first, there was overwhelming fury, until I saw] [How he used my sword to effortlessly shatter my inescapable doom] [How he wielded my authority to eradicate fatal conspiracies I had never even detected] [Like a deity, he rescued me from the deep mire I was trapped in] [If not for those annoying vixens, he and I would be a match made in heaven] [I think I am ill, gravely ill] [My deity should belong to me alone] ... "Hypnosis? Oh, it succeeded, my dear Master." "Only this time, it's my turn to hypnotize you."
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
