"What will happen if I don't agree?" Luo Jiu asked, looking puzzled.
"That's hard to say..." Black Impermanence said expressionlessly. With a wave of his hand, a black shackle surrounded by spikes appeared in his hand and fell to the ground with a clatter.
"I disagree! I want to see the King of Hell!" Luo Jiu had never seen such things before and was frightened, so she exclaimed in alarm.
"I'm so sorry, miss. Yama has recently descended to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation and is not in the underworld for the time being," Bai Wuchang said apologetically.
Luo Jiu: "..." Going through tribulations? How willful!
Helpless, Luo Jiu followed the Black and White Impermanence along the red land, passed the Bridge of Helplessness, entered a small path, and found a dry well at the end.
Built of black bricks, it looked quite old. Ancient, deep patterns and characters were carved into the bricks. Most surprisingly, a faint red light emanated from the well opening, mysterious and unsettling.
"Look, this is the Well of Reincarnation. Jump in, and you can be reborn," White Impermanence explained.
For a moment, Luo Jiu felt truly miserable. Other ghosts, upon reaching the underworld, cross the Bridge of Helplessness and drink Meng Po's soup. They forget their past lives and await a new life in the next.
As for myself, I died once, and even my ghost will die again.
Luo Jiu stood at the well's mouth, looking down. She saw red light emanating from the bottomless depths of the well and hesitated.
Suddenly, she felt a gravitational pull rising from the bottom of the well. Luo Jiu lost her balance and was immediately sucked in.
...
[Ahem, hello Master, I am 007, the quick transmigration system for this project, at your service.]
Luo Jiuzhen opened her eyes to a starry sky. She only remembered being pulled into the well by a gravitational force, so why was such a voice popping into her head?
[Because you've become bound to our system for conquering the male protagonist and preventing him from destroying the world, you're now my master.]
Wait a minute, Luo Jiu suddenly realized something and quickly asked, "Quick transmigration system? Preventing the male lead from destroying the world? The Black and White Impermanence told me it's rebirth."
[Here's the thing: once you complete our mission, you can be reborn, but you'll need to travel to many different worlds to complete the missions.]
Those damned Black and White Impermanence, they tricked me again!! After I die, when I get to Yama's court, I'll sue them to death.
[Master, are you ready? We're about to begin our mission.]
Luo Jiu was silent for a moment before replying, "Okay."
...
Luo Jiu felt a dizzying sensation in her mind. When she opened her eyes again, she saw a vast expanse of antique-style screens, carved with lifelike flowers, birds, and animals.
He raised his hand and heard the sound of water splashing against the stone wall. Looking down, he found himself in a huge pool.
007, where have I traveled to?
[Master, you have now arrived in a fictional country called Qi. You have transmigrated into the body of the young emperor Luo Xiaoran.]
I am the emperor, that's not... Luo Jiu looked down and thankfully, it was a woman.
What?! An empress?!
Wait, if I'm already the emperor, how will the male protagonist destroy the world?
"This is how it is, my lord. Your mother, in order to gain favor, falsely claimed you were a prince. However, the previous emperor, your father, was licentious and cruel, harming the common people. He ultimately died in his bed."
The Regent Prince currently holds all the power in the court, so you…
I understand. I am now a puppet emperor, or rather, a puppet empress, right?
Luo Jiu felt a deep sense of despair. What happened to the beginner's village? Was it going to be this deadly right from the start?
