Chapter 1 I am destiny

Chapter 1 I am destiny
Great Xia Dynasty.

Dijing.

At this moment, it is late at night.

The sky was gloomy and covered with dark clouds.

Amid the howling wind, whirlpools formed, like black dragons with bared fangs and claws, circling and roaring, like the wrath of heaven, creating a terrifying vision.

Followed by.

This was accompanied by earth-shaking lightning and thunder.

Balls of thunder rolled across the sky, rumbling and shaking, tearing the boundless sky apart.

It was like huge cracks had appeared.

The rain fell in torrents.

Chu Feng only felt that his consciousness was floating in the endless darkness, as if he was trapped in the underworld.

I do not know how long it has been.

Suddenly, he saw a bright light appear in the darkness, forming a terrifying suction force that swallowed up his consciousness.

now.

The majestic imperial capital.

In the Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Bright lights.

At this moment, a young man was lying on a jade bed.

"I'm not dead!"

"where is this?"

The man on the jade bed suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling.

He wanted to struggle to get up, but he seemed to be restrained by a force that prevented him from getting up and he was frozen there.

Boom! Suddenly, countless memories came flooding back, impacting his consciousness like a flood.

Until a long time passed.

When this memory is digested.

Only then did he gradually calm down.

"I have traveled through time. This is the Great Xia Dynasty, and I am the Great Xia Emperor, Chu Feng!"

Only then did Chu Feng realize his situation.

It turns out that I have traveled through time.

This is not the world where he lived in his previous life, but a place called the Great Xia Dynasty.

The Great Xia Dynasty has existed for one hundred and eighty years since Emperor Taizu founded the country.

Now he is the second emperor of Daxia.

But he was not Taizu's son, but Taizu's grandson.

He has been on the throne for four years.

The crown prince died ten years ago. As the crown prince's eldest son, Emperor Taizu made him the crown prince and passed the throne to him after his death.

"Emperor Taizu."

Chu Feng whispered.

This world is very different from his previous life.

Horrible.

This is a world where practitioners master the ultimate martial arts.

The strong man can fly into the sky and hide in the ground, and the sky and the earth can collapse and crack with a wave of his hand. He can really move mountains and fill the sea.

"The Great Xia Emperor Taizu was born in troubled times. He rose from obscurity and practiced the martial arts step by step. When the world was in turmoil and heroes emerged, he fought wars in the south and the north, pacified the chaos, ended the rule of foreign races in the Central Plains, recovered the land of China, rebuilt the world, established the foundation of the Great Xia, and then worked hard to govern the country. He reigned for 180 years and brought peace and prosperity to the people of the world. He was truly a hero."

"Although Taizu had a glorious life, he lived a hard life. His parents died when he was young, and he lived from day to day. After becoming emperor, he worked diligently and conquered all his life, not daring to slack off. However, the empress died sixty years ago, and in his later years, the crown prince, who was the person he placed the most hope in, also died before Taizu."

Chu Feng knew about Taizu's legendary life in his memory.

This world is so different.

Before Daxia, there was the Dayuan Dynasty.

Before the abyss, there were still chaotic times.

And this Dayuan was a foreign dynasty founded by the various Hu people from the north.

Since the Jin Dynasty, the world has been in chaos, with barbarians and various Hu tribes taking over China, which was known as the Rebellion of the Hu Tribes.

Sects, barbarians, various Hu peoples, aristocratic families, and dynasties.

Various forces are intertwined, causing great chaos.

After that, there were endless wars for tens of thousands of years and through many dynasties, but they were never able to completely pacify the world.

It can only cycle through one chaotic world after another.

Then, the northern Hu tribe established the Dayuan Dynasty.

This more terrifying dark age has arrived.

They treated the people of China as livestock and killed them at will.

People are not living.

Human life is like a mustard.

In the troubled times, many heroes rose up and jointly overthrew the Dayuan Dynasty. Eventually, Taizu of Daxia made great efforts to defeat enemies from all directions and unified the world.

Regardless of his civil and military achievements, he can be regarded as the greatest emperor of all time.

But in Taizu's later years, the crown prince passed away, and he eventually took over the throne of Daxia and became the second emperor of Daxia.

"Forge the body, transform into qi, spiritual sea, primordial spirit, return to the true nature, reach the sky"

This is the realm of cultivation that Chu Feng knows from his memory.

"If he reaches Tongtian, his life span can reach 500 years, but Taizu fought in battles all his life and killed too many powerful people. He was entangled in various Taoist injuries, which consumed his life essence and scarred his true spirit. He could not break the limit of reincarnation. However, in the last few years of Taizu, he launched several large-scale expeditions to weaken Daxia's enemies in order to stabilize the country. After all, the transfer of power is often the most dangerous time. This also prevented them from concentrating their strength in a short period of time."

Chu Feng was lying quietly on the bed at this time, thinking carefully.

They come, the security.

Although he didn't know how he came to this world, it was a fact.

Suddenly, he felt that Taizu was similar to someone in his previous life.

"The Great Xia Dynasty has a vast territory, much larger than the previous world, and a large population. After Taizu established the country, it was divided into one capital and thirty-six states. Even one state is extremely vast, and outside of Great Xia, there are four borders."

"In recent years, Great Xia's great ancestor has also mobilized troops in the four borders of the court, constantly squeezing their living space."

Chu Feng knew.

Now that he has traveled to this world, he must find out the situation.

After merging with memory.

He felt his own strength, which was at the ninth level of his spiritual life, and was about to return to his true self.

"Is this the power of a cultivator?"

Chu Feng whispered.

After all, he is the emperor of a country, so it’s not surprising.

Although the Great Xia Dynasty was the strongest force, the area surrounding Great Xia was not completely stable.

To the east is the East China Sea and various overseas sects.

To the south is the Nanling Mountains, where the barbarians are the strongest.

To the west lies the Western Territory, where many aristocratic families reside.

In the north there is the Beidi, where the remnants of the Beiyuan live, as well as many powerful miscellaneous Hu people.

The remnants of Beiyuan were none other than the royal family of Dayuan who retreated to the north after Dayuan destroyed their country.

But from his memory, Chu Feng knew clearly that his biggest crisis now was not in the four borders, but within.

"Prince Ning of Great Xia, who obeyed the will of Heaven to quell the rebellion and purged the emperor's entourage, has colluded with court officials and generals to raise an army to rebel, and Prince Ning is about to attack the imperial capital!"

Chu Feng felt a huge sense of crisis.

His throne was not stable.

It can even be said that the situation has reached a critical juncture.

Ning Wang Chucang, the fourth son of Taizu, has been in the army since he was young.

He once followed Taizu in his battles.

And he used Ningzhou as his vassal state and ruled Ningzhou in the north.

Moreover, Ningzhou is the state closest to the North.

The people are brave and tough.

Soon after Chu Feng ascended the throne, he raised the banner of "obeying the will of heaven to quell the rebellion" and "clearing the court of evil officials" and launched a rebellion.

Now, they are unstoppable and have captured more than half of the world in just a few years.

With control of such a large territory, his strength increased dramatically.

"What's this about Fengtian Jingnan? It's just ambition at work. He wants to be the emperor himself."

Chu Feng calmed down and had to consider his own situation.

After the crown prince passed away, Taizu hesitated about to whom he should pass the throne.

Prince Ning is an excellent person, but he is not the eldest son.

Above Prince Ning, there are the second and third sons.

Although the second and third sons are capable, they are not as good as Prince Ning.

Even if he passed on the throne, he would not be able to suppress Prince Ning.

But if he bypassed it and passed the throne to Prince Ning, it would inevitably cause turmoil in the country, so he chose Chu Feng.

After all, in addition to Prince Ning, there are several powerful vassal kings among Taizu's more than 20 sons.

Once this precedent is set.

With the example set by Taizu, the succession of the country in the future will be accompanied by great turmoil. Chu Feng can become the emperor, not only because he is the eldest son of the crown prince, but also because he is excellent enough. He has entered the realm of Yuanshen when he is less than 20 years old.

He is no less capable than the prince was back then.

If nothing unexpected happens, just follow the arrangements made by Taizu during his lifetime.

With the emperor sitting in the capital, the princes guarding the borders, and civil officials and military generals assisting, Daxia will not be in chaos.

Although it is impossible to mobilize troops on a large scale in a short period of time.

But as long as Chu Feng grows up and enters Tongtian, he can continue to launch conquests against enemies in the four realms.

but.

The temptation of the throne is too great.

Prince Ning was unwilling to accept this and so he raised an army.

Chu Feng also knew that once he was dethroned by Prince Ning, he would face death.

"Taizu was a vassal king guarding the border. After all, compared to those ancient aristocratic families and forces, Taizu was born in a humble family."

Chu Feng also knew from his memory that Prince Ning was extremely outstanding and had already reached the level of Tongtian.

After the death of the crown prince, he was the most outstanding among Taizu's sons, otherwise he would not have been granted the fiefdom of Ningzhou.

If the crown prince had not died, Prince Ning would never have dared to rebel.

Moreover, his uncles and princes were not very convinced by his ascension to the throne.

They all thought that the old man should not have passed the throne to him.

He doesn't really want to be loyal to his eldest nephew.

When the old man was around, no one dared to move.

But as soon as the old man passed away, they became restless, and their predecessors had also made some wrong decisions, which infringed on the interests of the vassal kings.

This ultimately led to the current turmoil.

now.

He stood up, walked to the imperial desk, and picked up the memorial on top.

"Prince Ning's army has swept across Qianzhou, and half of the prefectures and counties have fallen into Prince Ning's hands!"

Qianzhou borders the imperial capital.

Once Qianzhou is lost.

Prince Ning’s army can then march directly into the capital.

As Prince Ning's army advanced like a hot knife through butter and conquered half of the states, the situation in the court became unstable.

People are uneasy.

The people are in turmoil.

The general trend gradually turned towards Prince Ning.

Although many people did not directly defect to Prince Ning, Chu Feng could infer that once the imperial capital was besieged, many people would inevitably defect to Prince Ning and support him as emperor.

As Prince Ning becomes more powerful.

For many people, this is a battle for the throne, not a fight between foreign races.

Even though Prince Ning's seizure of the throne was an act of rebellion, the meat was still rotten in the pot.

Even if Prince Ning really became emperor, they did not betray Daxia.

"We must not let Prince Ning take over Qianzhou!"

Chu Feng clenched his hands.

He had just traveled through time and absolutely did not want to be this short-lived emperor.

Imperial family.

No family affection.

Ruthless is the most imperial family.

He is not his father, the prince.

The day the imperial capital is conquered will be the day of his death.

Although Prince Ning verbally advocated clearing the court of corrupt officials and eliminating treacherous ministers, he would not let the man live.

Since Prince Ning dared to rebel, if he loses power, there are a thousand ways to kill him.

"Since I have traveled here, from now on, I am the Emperor of Daxia, Chu Feng!"

Chu Feng took a deep breath.

Now he has digested all the memories.

Don't worry about the fact that you traveled through time and space.

Because he is now the emperor of Daxia.

【The host awakens the destiny system. 】

At this moment, when Chu Feng was thinking about his own situation.

A voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Destiny System!"

Chu Feng's expression changed.

【The destiny system has awakened.】

[Destiny Choice 1: Give up the throne and pass it on to Prince Ning. ]

[Destiny Choice 2: Escape from the Imperial Capital. ]

[Destiny Choice Three: I am the destiny, and I will continue to be the emperor of Daxia. 】

Infinite light shone in Chu Feng's eyes.

Three lines of golden characters appeared in a white cloud, bringing a mysterious sense of oppression.

Simple and heavy.

"Fate's choice, is it for me to choose?"

Chu Feng was a little confused, staring at the three lines of golden characters.

"Each time the host makes a different destiny choice, he will receive different rewards at random."

The system's voice rang in Chu Feng's ears again.

After hearing the system's explanation, Chu Feng gradually understood.

Destiny is fate. Different choices determine your future path.

This also made Chu Feng realize that his coming to this world had a lot to do with the Destiny System.

"There are three choices. But since I am the emperor of Daxia and rule the world, how can I pass the throne to Prince Ning? Or I can escape from the imperial capital. The only way is to seize the power in my hands and suppress Prince Ning's army. Otherwise, there is only one way to go, death."

Chu Feng had nothing to hesitate about.

Power must be firmly in our own hands.

Moreover, he knew this from his previous life's memories.

Although Prince Ning's army is now unstoppable, he is not without a chance to turn the tables.

When Taizu appointed him as the crown prince, he had anticipated that the world would be in chaos after his death, so he left behind a group of loyal followers for him and also left a trump card for him in the imperial capital.

immediately.

Chu Feng said: "I choose three."

[The host makes a choice and gets rewarded with Dragon Essence. ]

A golden sphere, about the size of a fist, floated in front of him.

Inside the sphere, there is a bloody little dragon, releasing bloody light and swinging continuously.

"This is the essence of the Heavenly Dragon!"

Chu Feng touched the essence of Tianlong with curiosity.

Instantly, a suction force instantly sucked his hand firmly.

Immediately afterwards, a warm air flowed into his body along his palm.

Soon after, the essence of the dragon disappeared.

A powerful force swept through the body, followed by a ray of light that broke the mirror.

It allowed his cultivation to break through to the Return to Truth realm in a very short period of time.

"Return to the true state! Return to the original state!"

Chu Feng said in surprise.

A ray of celestial dragon essence allowed him to break through and return to his true self.

And the benefits of Tianlong Essence are far more than just this.

That force has not been completely consumed. It will slowly nourish and strengthen one's physique with the power of the Heavenly Dragon, making subsequent cultivation easier and conducive to entering the Tongtian Realm.

A strong person in Tongtian realm has martial arts abilities that reach the sky.

At that time, Taizu stepped into the realm of Tongtian and touched the power of reincarnation. He was the strongest person in Daxia and the four realms.

If Taizu had not fought battles throughout his life, suffered countless injuries of varying degrees, weakened his Qi and blood, and passed away early, he would have had a chance to break through the Tongtian barrier, achieve the power of reincarnation, and bring complete stability to the world.

"The key at the moment is still to stop Prince Ning's army."

Chu Feng walked out from the joy of his improved cultivation.

Listen to the whistling wind and rain.

Looking at the heavy rain outside the window.

Then he fixed his eyes on a huge map hanging in the Tianxin Hall.

Fell into deep thought.

He must sort out the people who are loyal to him and organize the forces he can mobilize.

"Your Majesty, Duke Chang Lao requests to see you."

Suddenly, a shrill voice sounded outside Tianxin Palace.
