Mythological Summoning

"Gan Yue Kingdom... the banished Prince Qin Jun..."

Qin Jun, clad in a white prison uniform, slumped in the prison cart like a beggar. Two sturdy black horses pulled the cart ahead, making his body rise and fall with its motion.

At that moment, Qin Jun was on the verge of a breakdown.

Fuck!

I actually transmigrated!

His face smeared with dirt, Qin Jun swept his gaze over his surroundings. Fifteen soldiers escorted him as they traveled through a canyon. The sun was setting, and the bare cliffs on either side rose dozens of meters high. Rubble covered the ground, not a single plant was in sight, and the entire place looked incomparably desolate.

It had the atmosphere of an ancient road, a west wind, and a gaunt horse.

"I fucking don't want to transmigrate..."

Qin Jun wanted to cry but had no tears. Before opening his eyes, he had just gotten off work. He had not even taken five steps out of the company building when something suddenly struck his forehead. The next second, his consciousness spun and his vision whirled. When he regained awareness, he found himself in this prison cart, along with a flood of memories that did not belong to him.

He had now possessed the body of the Third Prince of Gan Yue Kingdom, who shared his name. According to this body's memories, this was a world where gods and demons stood side by side. No one knew how vast the world was, and Gan Yue Kingdom was merely a drop in the ocean.

Although he had been born a prince, this guy's talent for cultivating qi had been mediocre, completely incomparable to that of his brothers and sisters.

What was qi cultivation?

It was absorbing the spiritual qi of heaven and earth to strengthen one's body and soul. Those who reached great mastery could Move Mountains and Overturn Seas, or pluck stars and shift moons.

The former owner of this body was already sixteen years old. His qi cultivation talent was average, and even now, he was only at the Qi Cultivation Second Layer. He had no talent for politics either and had almost no chance of inheriting the throne. Yet his temper was stubborn, and he had offended Fifth Prince Qin Yu. Not long ago, Qin Yu had framed him for embezzling money from the national treasury. The emperor had flown into a rage and directly banished him to the border for hard labor.

Of course, in the end, it was because this guy was not favored by the emperor.

"Fuck, this world is so dangerous. I want to go back!"

Qin Jun thought with a mournful expression. Wasn't transmigration supposed to happen after getting struck by lightning or hit by a car?

This wasn't scientific!

His career had only just begun, and even that pretty female coworker had secretly fallen for him. The peak of his life was right before his eyes, yet he had transmigrated!

I refuse to accept this!

Qin Jun was filled with indignation. On top of that, he had transmigrated into a terrible situation. He was about to be sent off for hard labor and suffer for the rest of his life!

Although gods and demons existed in this world, he was only at the second level of Qi Cultivation. He could not even defeat the soldiers around him, let alone cultivate qi to become a god.

Qin Jun was no child. His mind was already mature. No matter how miraculous this world was, it had nothing to do with his current predicament.

"Ding! Activating the Mythological System!"

"Ding! The Mythological System is beginning to bind with the host!"

"Ding! As this is the first activation of the Mythological System, the host is rewarded with one Random Summoning of Gods and Demons and one Random Draw Opportunity!"

Just as Qin Jun had fallen into complete despair, a cold voice rang out in his mind.

It startled Qin Jun so badly that he nearly jumped up.

What the hell was the Mythological System?

"The Mythological System was born from the life force of the Great Dao. With the Mythological System, the host can summon one god or demon every month. At the same time, triggering various achievements can grant random draws. The prizes are not limited to any one category. They may be cultivation methods, spells, heavenly treasures, divine artifacts, or even other things. It all depends on the host's luck!"

That mysterious voice sounded again, leaving Qin Jun stunned. In his previous life, he had read countless imaginative novels, including system novels. He had never expected that one day, this would happen to him too.

He subconsciously pinched his own face.

It hurt!

It was real!

"Pfft, this stupid prince is actually pinching himself!"

"Hahaha, I'm dying. He must have gone mad from utter despair."

"What a pitiful sight. Who told him to offend Fifth Prince Qin Yu?"

"Fifth Prince Qin Yu is not only exceptionally talented, but he is also skilled in political schemes. He will definitely ascend the throne someday."

"The Imperial Family is truly ruthless. Even blood brothers can frame each other."

The surrounding soldiers discussed among themselves, and most of their words mocked Qin Jun.

A prince being banished to the border was rare even in history.

Qin Jun listened with hidden anger and hurriedly asked in his mind, "System, how do I summon gods and demons?"

"Ding! Randomly selecting a god or demon now!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host. You have drawn Nine-tailed Fox Daji!"

"Daji, from Investiture of the Gods."

"Race: Nine-tailed Fox!"

"Cultivation: Void Transformation Fifth Layer!"

"Cultivation methods: Great Heavenly Fox Technique, Bewitching Heart Technique."

"Natal Divine Ability: Nine-tailed Fox True Form!"

"Loyalty: 90 (maximum 100)!"

"Special reminder: once a god or demon's loyalty falls below 0, they will betray the host!"

Qin Jun was dumbfounded by the string of voices echoing in his mind. What the hell?

Daji?

Investiture of the Gods?

Wasn't that a Huaxia mythological legend?

"Where is she? You said summon her, so why is there no movement?" Qin Jun asked anxiously. Could it be that he was hallucinating?

"Daji will appear soon. A reminder for the host: the summoned gods and demons merely simulate the data of mythological figures. They do not possess their original memories. The system will implant memories belonging to this world into them. I hope the host does not expose himself!"

Qin Jun was half-convinced. Before Daji appeared, he would not fully believe it.

Myths had always been fabricated. Could they really be taken seriously?

However, when he thought of this body's memories, his heart could not help pounding. This world was like something out of a Xianxia story, filled everywhere with demons, monsters, ghosts, and strange beings.

Perhaps the Mythological System really existed!

"Then can I summon Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong, Heavenly God of War Erlang Shen, and Buddha Tathagata?"

"Yes!"

"What about the Three Pure Ones?"

"Yes!"

"Holy shit! I'm going to crush this world of gods and demons!"

Qin Jun instantly became fired up. If he truly summoned those formidable figures from mythology, he could rule Gan Yue Kingdom in minutes and perhaps even conquer the entire world!

"That depends on the host's luck. There are too many characters in mythology. Perhaps the host will never summon the character he wants, even until death!"

The system could not help pouring cold water on him. Qin Jun did not care in the slightest. What a joke. He had encountered the extremely unlikely event of being hit by the Mythological System. Did his luck even need to be questioned?

It had to be off the charts!

Qin Jun trembled with excitement. The iron chains around his hands and feet shook along with him, producing a series of clinking sounds.

Just then, the soldiers suddenly stopped. The prison cart stopped with them, causing Qin Jun to raise his head in confusion.

He saw the soldiers draw their blades one after another, each of them acting as if they faced a great enemy.

These soldiers were Imperial Guards trained by the palace, and every one of them possessed cultivation at the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer. Any one of them could beat Qin Jun until he was crawling on the ground. Their senses were also far beyond his.

This was enough to show Fifth Prince Qin Yu's sinister intentions. With this group of Imperial Guards escorting Qin Jun, he had no chance of escaping at all.

"Giggle—"

Just then, a sweet laugh that made one's skin crawl rang out, startling everyone into looking around.

A white figure drifted down like an exiled immortal. She wore snow-white robes, her skirt and cuffs fluttering in the wind. Her figure was graceful, and white fur rested over her shoulders. Beneath her willow-floss-like black hair was an incomparably beautiful face, her exquisite features carrying a smile as she looked at them.

A disaster for the country and people!

Su Daji!
