In a world of pure martial arts, Yun Shou initially believed he could only live an ordinary life with the weak cheat he possessed.
That was until the age of fourteen, when he obtained a secon...
The Qi Domain has not been unified for over ten thousand years, and no human emperor at the sixth realm has been born in ten thousand years.
This region is now divided among seven fifth-realm human kings and three hundred and twenty-six fourth-realm lords.
You enter this realm, select a chaotic zone, and begin your journey as an ordinary ranger.
[In 3147, after two years of hard work in the chaotic zone, you have amassed over ten thousand followers and protected an area spanning thousands of miles. The black crown symbolizing the common people on your head has turned white and then red, signifying your entry into the second realm.]
[Based on your previous experience in governing the country, you have achieved steady progress, managing everything single-handedly.]
[In 3151, the crown of destiny turns purple, exuding nobility, and you reach the third realm of the human destiny system.]
[In 3165, you established a vassal state. According to custom, you needed to declare allegiance to the Great Qi Dynasty, which had been destroyed ten thousand years ago, otherwise you could not establish a state.]
"It's not a dynasty I like, so I'll refuse outright."
"Haha, that's really impressive."
"The Great Qi Dynasty has been gone for ten thousand years. Do you still want to guard a rotting corpse and recount your glory?"
[You proclaim: "A new era is dawning, a new emperor will be born, it's time to change the world!"]
"He's become addicted to being an emperor."
At this time, you are merely a ruler of a vassal state.
[But it revealed something that even the seven Great Kings dared not utter a word about.]
[Because they nominally still pledge allegiance to the former Great Qi, and each of them controls a portion of the Great Qi royal family's bloodline.]
[You, like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, should have started the saga, then perished as a target set up during it. The true emperor would then emerge from the chaos of war, rising quietly and unstoppable when he reappears.]
"But I not only want to usher in a new era, I also want to reach the pinnacle of this era!"
[In the year 3170, you held out for five years, withstanding countless challenges, and the newly established nation truly gained a foothold.]
[Furthermore, in this realm of destiny, wars between nations are not merely a matter of ordinary people wasting each other's lives. Under this sky, ordinary people are the most precious treasures of all those in high positions.]
Cherishing one's people and treating them kindly is an essential lesson for every ruler.
"It's the exact opposite extreme of the previous Nightmare Domain."
Even if you don't really want to care, you have to put on that act and manipulate the people.
By employing various marketing tactics to firmly grasp the hearts and minds of the people, one can gain greater fortune, solidify one's power, and ensure the enduring existence of one's empire.
"So it was an idol."
This is a somewhat utopian world.
[Only a few chaotic areas, unregulated by any dynasty, are controlled by those who intimidate their populace with fear and collect their fortune.]
[You were able to win the hearts and minds of the people and rise to this level by overthrowing the rulers in those regions; otherwise, it would have been a thousand times more difficult to rise in other well-governed countries.]
[If you knock down an evil ruler with a single slap, you will naturally be loved and respected.]
However, if you were to punch a virtuous and wise ruler, you would only earn their disgust.
During times of national war, the rulers or officials of both sides usually discuss strategies for governing their countries, broadcasting these discussions nationwide using the power of destiny.
"It's a fantasy worldview similar to Wen Dao's."
After the debate ends, the victorious side gains more popular support and receives a temporary buff, while the loser side suffers from low morale and receives less support, effectively weakening themselves by several percent.
If the people of country B feel that the monarch of country A speaks better, then they might even bring good fortune to the monarch of country A.
In this situation, even those with lower skill levels can turn defeat into victory.
[In the past, during national wars, the debates revolved around the glory of the Qi Dynasty and the need to continue the legacy of the Great Qi.]
Now that you have shattered the last vestiges of the Qi Dynasty's glory after ten thousand years, the struggle now revolves around who is more likely to become the new ruler of the world.
This is similar to a debate, where the key is to guide the opposing team to make mistakes, lead them into a dead end, and use sophistry.
You have a huge advantage—you can foresee the future.
[To directly foresee the entire process of the argument the next day, then review the opponent's statements, carefully identify any gaps, and fill in the gaps in one's own arguments.]
[At that time, every word will strike at his weaknesses, repeatedly attacking his vulnerable points, showing no signs of defeat, and completely gaining the upper hand.]
[And in the later stages of combat, needless to say, the nine thousand times essence can allow you to leap from the lowest level of each realm to the highest level, or even surpass it.]
You frequently launch campaigns against surrounding vassal states, vying for control of cities and provinces.
[In 3173, you advanced to the fourth realm.]
"Fortunately, this system only uses the luck of humanity as a catalyst; otherwise, I would have needed to become an emperor in two hundred Yuantian Domains to advance to the sixth realm."
Your eyes welled up with tears.
"Finally, I can distract myself and use other parts of my mind to massage your back!"
[God knows how you survived before. To maintain your image as a wise and benevolent ruler, you could only experience the future in the foreseeable future, for a maximum of twenty-five hours at a time, and not consecutively!]
[You created a clone using the physical magic system, then stuffed half of your soul into it. The two looked at each other, as if they were seeing themselves.]
[This is where the scene should have gone: You pat the other person on the shoulder and say, "Good bro, my happiness in the sex life from now on depends on you."]
But there's no need, because this is "multitasking," and it all involves the same consciousness.
[In 3214, you advanced to the fifth realm, and your yellow robe of destiny transformed into a turquoise throne of destiny.]
[From the golden-robed venerable prince to the divinely favored true king of humanity.]
"While it's a bit slower than the Summoning God system, it's still alright." You nodded.
If all goes well, there are only about 40 years left to condense the "Human Fortune Seal".
[Considering the years of wear and tear, a Dao Seal with a quality of 8 is worth 110 years, which is not bad.]
While this method doesn't improve basic strength as quickly as repeatedly rebuilding a substandard system with a quality of 1, it significantly enhances both future and fundamental abilities.
"Forty years from now, once the Dao Seal is formed, it's time for me to retire. I need to find a successor during this period; I can't just abandon them all after achieving success."
[When facing the Nightmare Realm, you only need to maintain order and regulations to ensure the people there live in peace and prosperity.]
The situation is different in Qi.
