Chapter 1 begins with the emperor blowing up the capital!
Great Zhou Dynasty, capital.
The imperial city was ablaze with smoke, with soldiers everywhere killing and setting fires. From time to time, the cries of women pleading could be heard from various dark corners.
"Good, very good. It turns out that a bunch of peasants don't keep their promises. They burn, kill, loot and do all kinds of evil as soon as they enter the city. Then let's die together!" The Emperor of the Great Zhou said angrily while sitting on the pure gold dragon throne.
This angry voice woke Wang Yao up.
When I opened my eyes, I saw golden-lattice windows, vermilion-painted doors, and large red columns. In the middle, sitting on a high platform was a man in a dragon robe.
Looking around again, he saw a magnificent hall and a group of nobles whispering in panic. It was so noisy that Wang Yao had a splitting headache, followed by an overwhelming flood of chaotic memories.
So that’s it, this is the Golden Palace.
He traveled through time and became a halberd-bearer, which was simply the guards standing around the hall when the emperor held court meetings.
Isn’t this good? Being a guard of the Golden Palace means you are deeply trusted by the emperor and have a bright future.
But the key point is that the Great Zhou is about to perish. Didn’t you hear the emperor say this?
"Your Majesty, you absolutely cannot do this. If you activate the formation, the entire city will be killed. No one will survive. Think about your princes, Your Majesty!" The prime minister standing in the front shouted at the top of his lungs.
Upon hearing this, all the officials below became agitated, "Your Majesty, no, as long as the green mountains remain..."
Hearing these admonitions, the emperor became even more furious. He pointed his trembling right hand at the ministers below and said, "You are a bunch of cowards. My Great Zhou Empire is destroyed in your hands. I pity the people of this city."
"They say there's not enough food and the people are suffering, and they advise me to open the gates and surrender. I'm not the king who's doomed, but you're the ministers who've doomed your country. Hahahaha!"
These words left everyone in the hall speechless. The emperor then shook his head expressionlessly, pressed the dragon head on the dragon throne with both hands and twisted it hard. Suddenly, white beams of light shot out from under the floor tiles.
Then white light was emitted from all parts of the capital in the shape of the formation. The hall was in complete chaos, and the ministers and nobles ran around in panic.
"You tyrant emperor, you tyrant emperor! You want hundreds of thousands of people to be buried with you!" At this time, some people started to curse the emperor regardless of their status.
"What should we do? The ancestral formation has been activated. There is nowhere to escape. The capital is about to explode and everyone will die!" A prince in a python robe shouted like crazy.
Some soldiers holding spears took the initiative to step forward to protect the emperor. Even at this time, they were still loyal.
Wang Yao stood in the corner holding a spear and watched the chaos, speechless. What the hell is this start?
Forget about the whole time travel, why did the emperor want to blow up the capital city? Is there any way to survive?
However, in the memory of this body, Da Zhou was indeed doomed to perish.
Land annexation was serious, the poor had no place to live, and coupled with high taxes, the farmers had no way to survive and could only rebel.
The local separatist warlords only obeyed orders and not decrees. At this time, the Great Zhou Dynasty was already in pieces and the situation was difficult to recover.
At this time, the white beam of light shot out from the ground became thicker and thicker. Since he couldn't escape anyway, he tried to touch it. Hey, why didn't he feel anything? Wang Yao was a little confused.
"Ding, the sign-in system is activated, issuing the first task!"
"Ding, the check-in location has been refreshed. Great Zhou Dynasty, Golden Throne Hall."
"Ding, the host has arrived at the check-in location. Do you want to sign in?"
"Bang", at this time there was a loud noise coming from the ground, and the whole hall began to explode, "Crack", a big red column fell towards Wang Yao.
"Sign in!" Wang Yao said silently in his heart without having time to think about it.
"Ding, congratulations to the host, you have successfully signed in! You have received a five-star reward, the status of a ghost immortal."
"Ding, congratulations to the host! This sign-in triggers new member benefits! You have been granted a chance to make a wish. Please follow the law of cause and effect and use it with caution!"
Boom!
Before Wang Yao could figure out what was going on, the throne room collapsed and the pillars knocked Wang Yao down.
Wang Yao turned into a nihilistic soul and flew into the air. He took a look at the lump of flesh he was in, smacked his lips, and was speechless.
The capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty had also reached its final moment. The ancestral formation was fully activated. Judging from the beam of light emitted, there seemed to be a huge white ball of light rapidly expanding underground.
The riotous soldiers who were burning, killing and looting also stopped. Some were running out of the city, while others were standing still. They seemed to know that they were about to face judgment.
At this time, common people, princes and nobles, regardless of their status, were all trying to escape in their own way.
There was a trembling mother who wrapped her child with her body. She was afraid of death but also knew that a mother is strong; there was a father who stuffed his family and children under the bed, smoking a pipe and facing death calmly; there was also an old couple who sat on the doorstep hand in hand and talked about the former glory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Wang Yao's soul is essentially a modern person who has been influenced by the civilization of the Blue Star. Seeing the various lives of all beings at the end of the world, he couldn't help but shed tears. What should he do?
By the way, didn’t I activate the golden finger? Wang Yao quickly called the system with his mind, and streams of information appeared in Wang Yao’s mind again.
Make a wish, yes, I can make a wish.
Wang Yao didn't care about the law of cause and effect. He didn't dare to delay and made a wish loudly.
"I hope that the innocent people in the capital can survive this disaster!"
These words became a resounding sound throughout the heaven and earth. Everyone in the capital heard them. The emperor also looked up at the sky in astonishment, with a barely visible trace of relief on his face.
"Boom~"
A deafening explosion sounded, and it finally came. The entire capital city was lifted up by the power of the ancestral formation.
The first thing to be blown up was the imperial palace, then the inner city, and finally the outer city, with layer after layer of explosions following one after another.
In less than half a minute, there was no intact building in the entire capital city. The capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which had been prosperous for more than 500 years, was reduced to ruins.
Wang Yao looked around anxiously. Where were the people? Were they all dead?
No, it didn't. When the explosion stopped, as if there was some magical power protecting them, the people of the capital walked out of the ruins one after another.
And those rebel soldiers, high-ranking officials of the Great Zhou, including the emperor, were reduced to ashes in the explosion.
When people walked out of the ruins, they all had expressions of surviving a disaster on their faces, but it seemed that they remembered something and pulled their families to kneel down towards the sky.
Wang Yao didn't have time to listen to what they were saying because the system voice sounded again.
"Ding, the host's wish has been fulfilled!"
"Ding, warning! The host has disregarded the laws of cause and effect and has overspent on their wishes. The host is about to suffer backlash."
A sense of decay emerged from the depths of Wang Yao's soul, and Wang Yao suddenly felt old, no, even dissipated.
From Wang Yao's perspective, a little bit of light separated from his body and disappeared in an instant.
Am I going to die? I can’t even be a ghost. Wang Yao felt helpless. Is this the price of being a hero?
Suddenly, a green light descended from the sky and enveloped Wang Yao. Looking up, he saw purple air coming from the east and a lingering glow in the sky.
Wang Yao could clearly feel that his soul had stabilized and the aura of decay had disappeared.
Instead, there was a fresh air. What was going on? Wang Yao felt like he was on a roller coaster.
"Ding, the heavens of this world favor you, and the backlash is lifted."
"Ding, it's detected that the host has the status of a ghost fairy, whether to reincarnate!"
After careful sensing, Wang Yao discovered that there was a very obscure power in the core of his soul. Wang Yao could not describe or put this power into words.
Should this be the ghost immortal status that the system mentioned, which elevates the essence of the soul? Wang Yao had some guesses.
"yes!"
Suddenly a black vortex appeared in the air and sucked Wang Yao in.
Wang Yao took a last look at the people who were still expressing their gratitude in the ruins and smiled slightly. Is this also cause and effect?
