All you Daniel Wus and Liu Yifeis, please proceed to the main story!
The Black-Yellow Realm!
Deep within the Su Imperial Clan's territory, near the border between the Qianyun Realm Domain and the Realm Sea.
Inside a secret chamber sealed off by dozens of barriers, a withered figure sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion.
The entire chamber was filled with the air of death.
If not for the faint, almost imperceptible sound of breathing coming from the figure on the cushion,
anyone who saw him would have thought a dead man was sitting there.
A closer look revealed an old man whose dry hair had almost entirely fallen out.
His skin was wrinkled beyond recognition, and patches of blue and dark purple death spots visibly covered his body.
Clearly, his lifespan had reached the very limit of its limits.
He might pass away right there the very next second.
A sound-recording stone had also rolled to a stop not far from the old man!
A voice that was nearly sobbing came from the stone.
"Ancestor, the patriarch was ambushed by five Devil Emperors working together and is gravely wounded and dying! The seal on the Realm Sea is about to break!"
"Ancestor, Emperor Yun, Emperor Hao, Emperor Yi, and Emperor Shuang are trapped in the Realm Sea, and their lives are hanging by a thread!"
"Ancestor, the Great Qian Empress sent someone to deliver an imperial decree condemning our Su Imperial Clan. She claimed that our clan deceived the entire Great Qian Imperial Dynasty and that we're a clan of ungrateful white-eyed wolves who benefited from its largesse!"
"Ancestor, the decree says that if our entire Su Imperial Clan does not move back within a month, the empress will personally take action to suppress our clan and wipe it out before the eyes of the whole world!"
"..."
With each sentence spoken, a ripple came from the old man on the cushion.
And after each ripple, his vital signs grew weaker.
Just as it appeared that the old man would die not because his lifespan had run out, but because anger had taken his last breath away,
a ridiculously young-looking soul inside him began to curse.
"What the freaking hell!"
"What's going on? I'm Su Chen! I've followed Lei Feng's example since I was a kid. I don't run red lights when I walk, I help old ladies cross the street, and I'm always the first at my company to work overtime. And this is how you treat me?"
"All I did was stay up for five days and nights straight to keep a project on schedule, then take a nap. Where the hell have I ended up?"
"Wait, no. What the heck is this setup?"
"This body looks older than my grandpa's grandpa!"
"And... what's all this about imperial clans and Devil Emperors?"
"Huh? I..."
As he perceived everything around him through this body, waves of memories that did not belong to him flooded into his mind.
The sheer amount of information nearly burst his brain!
The original owner of the body was the ancestor of the Great Qian Imperial Dynasty's Su Imperial Clan, a super existence at the Peak Great Emperor realm!
Someone at the Peak Great Emperor realm was already among the most powerful figures in the Black-Yellow Realm.
The Great Qian Imperial Dynasty had twelve imperial clans in all. Aside from the strongest, the Liu Imperial Clan, which controlled the dynasty, if the Su Imperial Clan called itself third, none of the other ten imperial clans would dare call itself second!
A hundred thousand years ago, the Devil Race descended and ravaged the mortal world.
Under the Liu Imperial Clan's leadership, the twelve imperial clans joined forces to seal the Devil Race in the Realm Sea.
Afterward, the Su Imperial Clan was entrusted with the important task of guarding the Devil Race there.
For that purpose, the entire Su Imperial Clan even moved to the vicinity of the Realm Sea.
Over those hundred thousand years, the Devil Race constantly tried to break through the seal, only to be stopped time and again by the Su Imperial Clan's Great Emperors.
With a hundred thousand years gone by, the entire Qianyun Realm Domain had almost forgotten the threat posed by the Devil Race.
During that time, the Su Imperial Clan had not failed to ask the Liu Imperial Clan for help, but the Liu Imperial Clan had brushed them off nearly every time.
Those people believed that the Devil Race had already been suppressed and sealed. Although the Su Imperial Clan had moved to the Realm Sea, guarding the Devil Race was no different from being jailers watching prisoners.
They only had to stroll around and check on things every day. What extra effort did that take?
As for their requests for help?
They were probably just an excuse for the entire Su Imperial Clan to move back to the Great Qian Imperial Dynasty!
After all...
The cultivation environment here at the Realm Sea was nowhere near as good as that of the Great Qian Imperial Dynasty.
To put it bluntly, they wanted to move from a backwater mountain valley to the city center.
But although the Devil Race had been sealed, someone still had to keep watch over them.
And the other imperial clans certainly would not be willing to move here.
The Liu Imperial Clan figured that since the Su Imperial Clan had already put down roots here, they could simply give them a few more resources at most.
And so the matter had dragged on until now.
But they had not expected the power of the seal suppressing the Devil Race to grow weaker and weaker under the Devil Race's daily resistance.
The Devil Emperors in the Realm Sea could even project their power as avatars, intent on destroying the seal completely.
If the Su Imperial Clan's Great Emperors had not fought the Devil Emperors all these years, the Devil Race would have swept back long ago.
And Su Chen was the Su Imperial Clan's current ancestor!
After fully digesting all this, Su Chen could not help feeling a headache coming on.
"So... I transmigrated? And I'm gonna croak?"
"Other people transmigrate into a sect's devastatingly handsome eldest senior brother, or a beautiful, powerful, and tragic eldest senior sister, or a Long Aotian, or even a crooked-mouthed Dragon King. And I get turned into an old man who's about to die?"
"From the looks of it, this body will have a hard time lasting even another hour!"
"I'm an outstanding young man of the twenty-first century, praised by every grandpa and grandma who sees me, a good guy who can even hit it off with three-year-olds. And I'm going to croak right after transmigrating?"
"Heaven can't allow this!"
Su Chen was already bawling his eyes out!
"Huh? Wait, don't they say transmigrators all have systems? Where's mine?"
"System bro?"
"Grandpa System?"
"Grandma System?"
"Brother System?"
Su Chen had read novels before, at least.
Once those transmigrators got their systems, they could beat the chosen sons of heaven until the shit came out of them.
Why wasn't it working for him?
"Oh, my dear heavens!"
Yet a full quarter of an hour passed, and the system he had expected did not appear.
Su Chen had even begun to wonder whether he could return to his original world if he died now.
If he couldn't go back, wouldn't he have suffered a huge loss?
So he had been given a one-hour trial card to experience being a dying Great Emperor in another world?
As time ticked away and he was on the verge of passing away, an icy mechanical voice finally rang out in his mind:
[Ding! The host's desire to survive has been detected as extremely strong. Binding the Cosmic Supreme Invincible Badass System!] [System binding in progress. The host has been detected to have only one hundred breaths of lifespan remaining. The system gift pack is being issued in advance. Open it?]
It was here!
It was finally here!
Hearing that voice, Su Chen nearly wept with joy.
Did it know how he had spent this past hour?
"Open it! Right now, this instant, at the number one fastest speed in the universe!"
