1: Chapter 1: The Supreme Emperor of the Divine Dynasty, Starting with Daily Sign-in!

Great Xia Divine Dynasty, deep within the imperial palace, Dragon Imperial Hall.

The heavy scent of dragon musk mixed with bitter medicine swirled in the hall, suffocating.

Li Xuan lay on the dragon couch.

His consciousness was already fading.

The vitality within his body was irreversibly slipping away.

"Damn, even a start in Hell wouldn't play like this."

Li Xuan cursed in his heart.

A second ago, he was in front of his computer.

The next second, he had transmigrated into this Retired Emperor with the same name.

He thought it was a perfect start, but it turned out to be a dying old man.

The shitty part was, this old man was actually about to die.

There wasn't even a chance for resuscitation.

He could even feel his life counting down.

Ten.

Nine.

Eight...

Outside the hall, suppressed sobbing and whispers could be heard.

A young, tearful voice rang out:

"Is Imperial Grandfather... really going to pass away? Imperial Physicians, I order you, spare no cost to save Imperial Grandfather!"

This was the current Emperor of the Great Xia Divine Dynasty, Li Zhan.

Li Xuan's nominal grandson.

The voice sounded very sad, but Li Xuan's memory told him that this grandson was a softie with no backbone.

Right now, it was more about fear.

"Your Majesty, please restrain your grief."

Another old, steady voice followed, with a resolute tone.

"The Retired Emperor's Lifespan has reached its end; it is Heaven's will. While we are deeply saddened, we must also consider the future of the Divine Dynasty."

Li Xuan's eyelids were too heavy to lift.

But he knew who was speaking.

The current Prime Minister, Wei Yong.

A powerful official.

Li Zhan choked back a sob.

"What the Prime Minister says is true... but the matter of the state funeral..."

"Your Majesty."

Wei Yong's tone was flat.

"The regulations for the state funeral have already been drafted by the Ministry of Rites and can be used at any time. The most pressing matter right now is not this."

He paused, as if giving Li Zhan time to think, but in reality, he was forcing him.

"The country cannot go a day without a ruler. After the Retired Emperor passes, the political situation will inevitably be turbulent. For the sake of Great Xia, Your Majesty... should make plans early."

The hall fell silent.

After a long time, Li Zhan asked in a low voice.

"Prime Minister... what do you mean?"

Wei Yong sighed softly, his tone heavy, as if he were worried about state affairs.

"Your Majesty is pure by nature and dislikes conflict; you are a benevolent ruler. However, in the current world, surrounded by wolves, Great Xia needs a strong master who can suppress all four directions and has a firm hand."

These words carried immense weight, causing Li Xuan's heart to sink.

The dagger is revealed.

The old bastard is playing dumb while mentally manipulating the young emperor.

Between the lines, it was clearly saying that Li Zhan was unfit for his position and should voluntarily get out to make room for a new ruler.

Who to install?

Naturally, a Puppet that he, Wei Yong, could control.

"I'm not even dead yet, and you're already starting to divide the family assets?"

"You want to replace my grandson? My Li family's empire, is it your turn, an outsider, to point fingers!"

A fire ignited from the bottom of Li Xuan's heart.

But he didn't even have the strength to move a finger right now.

The life countdown was still continuing.

Three...

Two...

Li Zhan was too scared to speak by Wei Yong, and outside the hall, only a few of Wei Yong's cronies were chiming in.

"The Prime Minister speaks the truth. For the hundred-year foundation of our Great Xia, we must take thunderous measures."

"Your Majesty is kind, but having a young ruler with a suspicious country is truly not a blessing for the nation."

These words were all demanding his life.

Li Xuan completely lost consciousness.

"Damn! I am not reconciled!"

One.

Zero.

[Ding!]

At the moment Li Xuan's consciousness faded, a mechanical voice rang in his mind.

[Detected that the host's vital signs have reached zero, on the verge of death, meeting the activation conditions.]

[Divine-Grade System is officially launching!]

[Newbie Gift Package is being distributed...]

[Ding! The host's current location is "Dragon Imperial Hall", a place where the Human Emperor's Dragon Qi gathers, meeting the sign-in conditions.]

[Do you wish to sign in at "Dragon Imperial Hall"?]

A light shone in the darkness.

Li Xuan's scattered consciousness suddenly gathered.

System?

The Golden Finger has arrived?

"Sign in! Immediately! Right now!"

He roared with all his Mental Energy.

[Ding! Sign-in at "Dragon Imperial Hall" successful!]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Divine-Grade reward — "Everlasting Immortal Body"!]

Boom!

A powerful vitality surged into Li Xuan's body.

His withered body was rapidly repaired and reshaped by this vitality.

His heart, which had stopped beating, trembled slightly at first.

Then, with a "thump", it burst into a heartbeat.

Each beat pumped fresh blood to all parts of his body.

His aging body rapidly regained vitality, refreshed from the inside out, and even the roots of his white hair began to turn black.

Reborn.

He was pulled back from the edge of death in an instant.

"Refreshing!"

Li Xuan almost wanted to cry out in comfort.

He felt that his current body was a hundred times stronger than when he was in his twenties before Transmigration.

But just as he was about to sit up and give that bunch of "filial sons and grandsons" outside a surprise, he stopped himself.

Wait.

The old fox named Wei Yong outside is forcing the palace.

Although I am now immortal, I don't seem to have gained any matching power.

If I go out with a face that has been rejuvenated, how do I explain it?

Say I'm the Retired Emperor's long-lost younger brother?

Or say I've succeeded in cultivation?

Exposing my biggest secret is definitely looking for death.

No, I must keep a low profile.

The enemy is in the light, I am in the dark; this is the way of the king.

Let's hear what they want to do next.

With this decision made, Li Xuan continued to lie motionless, even deliberately slowing his breathing, making it almost inaudible, continuing to play the role of a dying old man.

The conversation outside the hall continued.

Seeing Li Zhan speechless from his words, Wei Yong became even more aggressive.

"Your Majesty, if you hesitate, you will suffer from chaos. This old subject is also doing this for the sake of Great Xia's empire, so I ask Your Majesty to prioritize the big picture."

Li Zhan's voice trembled with despair:

"The Prime Minister's meaning, is it for me to... abdicate?"

"This old subject would not dare."

Wei Yong said he didn't dare, but his tone lacked any respect.

"It's just that the Seventh Prince, Li Tai, is naturally intelligent, courageous, and heroic, quite like the Founding Emperor. If he could ascend to the throne early, it would truly be the good fortune of all the people."

Good fellow.

Li Xuan thought with disdain.

The Seventh Prince, Li Tai, is only twelve years old this year, a kid who hasn't even grown his hair out, what kind of courage does he have.

The key is that Li Tai's mother is Wei Yong's own niece.

His ambition is already obvious.

"No, I cannot... Imperial Grandfather handed the empire to me, I cannot..."

Li Zhan was still making his final resistance.

"Sigh."

Wei Yong sighed, as if disappointed by Li Zhan's "stubbornness".

"Since Your Majesty insists on this, this old subject can only... exercise the authority bestowed by the late emperor."

Authority bestowed by the late emperor?

In Li Xuan's memory, a golden whip flashed.

The late emperor, who was Li Xuan's son, had bestowed this golden whip upon Wei Yong before his death to balance imperial power, which could strike a foolish ruler above and a treacherous official below.

This thing is a conspiracy.

The young emperor Li Zhan was actually scared silly at this moment.

Li Xuan's eyeballs under his eyelids moved slightly, and through the slits of his eyes, he sized up his current body.

He tentatively moved his fingers.

The back of his hand was full of wrinkles and age spots, the skin shriveled and loose.

It formed a sharp contrast with the vigorous vitality within him.

The appearance, didn't change?

Li Xuan's heart moved, then he was overjoyed.

"Everlasting Immortal Body", changes the essence of his life, not the external form.

As long as he doesn't actively change it himself, he will still look like that decrepit old man!

This is simply the dream "body" for someone who likes to keep a low profile.

Just as Li Xuan was proud of his perfect disguise, the mechanical sound of the System rang in his mind again.

[Ding!]

[As the host of the Divine-Grade System, your life goal should not be limited to immortality.]

[The System has released a long-term plan: Spread your branches and leaves, spread your Bloodline widely!]

[The host's Bloodline is a rare and powerful Bloodline in the world. Combining with any female with excellent destiny can possibly give birth to a Child of Destiny!]

[The more offspring, the more generous the basic rewards the host receives!]

[The higher the talent of the offspring, the more Heaven-Defying the extra rewards the host receives!]

[When offspring achieve success, the host will receive a ten-thousand-fold critical return!]

[Warm reminder: A concubine with a "Phoenix" destiny is an excellent starting point for you to start a brilliant life.]

A series of prompts left Li Xuan stunned.

What the Hell?

Spread branches and leaves?

Let me, an "eighty-year-old" old man, take concubines and have children?

This style changed too fast.

Other people's Systems are all about fighting monsters, leveling up, and dominating the world.

My System is about letting me crazily have kids, more children more blessings?

And ten-thousand-fold return...

If I have a child with a special Physique, the System directly rewards me with an even more awesome Physique?

If my son masters a top-tier martial art, the System directly increases my skill by ten thousand times?

This... this feeling, it seems... not unacceptable.

It even feels a bit exciting.

Instead of fighting and killing hard by myself, it's better to be a Puppet master behind the scenes and let a bunch of children of destiny rush to the front.

This is the real fairy life.

"Good, I accept this mission!"

Li Xuan made up his mind.

However, the most urgent task is to first solve this old fox who wants to rebel.

Only a stable rear can allow him to safely "spread his branches and leaves".

Just as Li Xuan was thinking of countermeasures, the hall door, with a "creak", was pushed open a crack.

A cold wind blew in.

Leading the way was none other than Prime Minister Wei Yong.

He finally couldn't wait.

He wanted to come in personally to "confirm" the news of the Retired Emperor's death.
