'Zhao Hao, you are dead, I Li Yao am the prince now, hahaha…...."
In the palace, a young man laughed wildly in joy, holding a long sword and approached step by step.
In front of him was a young emperor wearing an emperor's dragon robe and an emperor's crown. His handsome face was pale and he kept backing away from fear. He kept retreating until he reached the corner.
"Zhao Hao, your Zhao family's imperial family is done for and you have no reason to live. Die!!!" Li Yao said with joy as his sword pierced into the little emperor's heart fiercely. He violently pulled out the sword and blood spurted out of the little emperor's chest. The little emperor Zhao Hao widened his eyes with mixed emotions; fear, desperation, and unwillingness as he fell slowly against the corner of the wall.
...
"Fuck! It hurts, who the hell stabbed me?"
A voice sounded from the emperor's body who had been presumed dead. As the memories of the previous soul merged with the new, various thoughts crossed the emperor's mind.
….
The celestial world is huge and infinite, and there are many nations.
Countries in this world were classified according to their population. A country with a population of less than ten million people was a weak country, while a country with a population above ten million but less than 100 million a small country. A country with a population of less than one billion was classified as a medium-sized country while a country with a population of more than one billion was a big country. If the population within a country exceeds ten billion, it was then classified as an empire!
In this world, Power, resources, desire, and dignity lead to wars.
The Celestial world was a dog eat dog world. The rule of the jungle prevailed whereby the big fish ate small fish while the small fish ate the shrimps. In this cruel world, the weak were regarded as being lower than pigs and dogs. The strong could fend for themselves and the sages could create a world!
...
"Transmigrated?"
"It seems... I have transmigrated and as an emperor no less!"
Zhao Hao was an assassin back in his original world - Earth. He had only one principle in his previous life while carrying out his missions: Anyone can get it. Therefore, in the underworld, everyone called him a tyrant! The nickname had a huge reputation such that hearing its name would send shivers down the spines of anyone who heard it.
During his latest mission, however, Zhao Hao was set-up. He had been intercepted and killed by a gang of hired mercenaries. He put up a fight worthy of his name but after killing 69 of them, a sniper's bullet finally got him in the heart.
...
It was then that his soul crossed over to the body of this tragic emperor.
"I was stabbed to death again just after crossing? What a fucked up coincidence!" Zhao Hao, who had always been cold, couldn't help but yell out loud.
The memories of the two souls continued to fuse slowly as Zhao Hao continued to ponder his current predicament. His name still remained Zhao Hao. As for why he was killed, a tragic memory slowly appeared in Zhao Hao's mind as he sought answers.
….
The Divine Dragon Empire was a prosperous and powerful empire with a territory spanning millions of miles, and more than ten billion people!
The prosperous situation of the empire however changed ten years ago.
Ten years ago, in the battle for the dragon veins, the Divine Dragon Empire battled against the Eternal Empire, the Undefeated Empire, and the Beast Empire. The war that stretched for thousands of miles and lasted for years. In the end, Zhao Hao's father and brothers all died in battle. Zhao Hao, who was a minor and had thus not participated in the battle was spared and was thus the only survivor of the royal family.
Zhao Hao was therefore forced by circumstances to ascend the throne of a perilous empire at only six years old...
…
In the battle for dragon veins, the aftermath resulted in the territory of the Divine Dragon Empire was lost and most of the masters of the empire also either died or defected. Zhao Hao and a few remnants fled to an island in the remote south of the empire called Carve Dragon Island. The population on the island was in the millions which was less than one percent of the original Divine Dragon Empire.
Since then, the empire that originally had a vast territory has been reduced to a weak country with a population of less than ten million. The Empire having fallen to a kingdom also had to change its name to the "Dragon Kingdom".
After integrating the memories of the two souls, Zhao Hao shivered at the thought of his current predicament.
….
After arriving at Carve Dragon Island, Zhao Hao's guard Li Tianba rebelled and proclaimed himself the Marshal of the Army.
Li Tianba, during the prosperous times of the Divine Dragon Empire was a small character who was not in the top rank in the empire. After all the masters above him fell however, he had become the number one master of the Divine Dragon Kingdom!
Li Tianba deceived Zhao Hao when he was young, took control of the kingdom and imprisoned Zhao Hao in the harem quarters for ten years. Zhao Hao barely had any food to eat during these ten years and survived on scraps. He was also subjected to constant abuse and humiliation. Despite being an emperor, Zhao Hao actually lived a life worse than that of a prisoner.
Li Tianba was decisive and ruthless, in order to control Zhao Hao as a puppet emperor, he immediately servered his path of cultivation as soon as they arrived on the Carved Dragon Island. Zhao Hao was left so weak that he could not swat a fly out of the air without breaking a sweat.
In this world where the path was proven by force, inability to practice was a disaster.
The person who had just killed the original Zhao Hao was Li Tianba's son Li Yao.
A few days ago, Li Tianba led his army to invade a small country on the waterfront. He planned to use a 'big victory' to declare himself as the new emperor. Before going out, he had ordered Li Yao to kill Zhao Hao.
Li Yao had been anticipating this and eagerly killed him. He had been dreaming of being proclaimed as the prince since his father became the topmost master of the kingdom.
'I transmigrated only to die again huh,'
With a sword in his heart, Zhao Hao lay on the ground unable to move with a wry smile on his face.
[Ding!]
[The emperor's summoning system initialising.]
[ Emperor Gift Pack issued]
"System?" Zhao Hao, who was about to die, was stunned. Before crossing, he had read some online novels to relax himself before he carried out missions and thus wasn't too alarmed. He knew what a system was.
Zhao Hao's felt a sense of relief wash over him At least he had found a way to counterattack.
[The system has detected damage to the host's body and is repairing it.]
[1%...9%...17%...]
With the sound of the system's prompt, Zhao Hao saw light at the end of the tunnel. His vitality which had been slowly leaking away began to recover. The damaged Qi meridians and tendons were also being repaired.
"It seems that I won't die just yet!"
Zhao Hao feeling his current perilous situation did not hesitate to receive and open the newbie gift pack. With a move of his consciousness, he opened the emperor's gift package.
[Ding!]
[The emperor's gift pack grants 1-3 God General Summoning Cards. In addition, it can also randomly draw out treasures such as experience, equipment, and magical artifacts.]

The treasures' names popped up one by one shocking Zhao Hao so much that his body convulsed.
'So many treasures are worthy of being the "Emperor's Gift Pack' he mused

[Upgrade pill (small), you can get 1000 experience after using it.]
