Become a king right from the start, beginning with receiving rewards from all the heavens.

At this moment, Xia Zhaoyan felt his soul leave his body and enter his mind.

From the depths of my memory, countless familiar and vivid images flooded in!

Modern cities are bustling with traffic, high-rise buildings, and so on!

It turns out that I am not a native of this world, but come from a technological world without martial arts or immortals.

In my previous life, I lived in a mortal kingdom where there was no powerful martial arts, only advanced technology!

"Only after breaking free from the illusions of the womb do I realize who I am today!"

"To be honest, it's a time-travel story, but a high-level martial arts fantasy where the Heavenly Dao reaps all living beings in a hellish mode?"

"If I had a choice, I'd rather not have time-traveled!" Xia Zhaoyan couldn't help but complain wildly!

As a prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, he knew very well that this world was a huge cage.

If they are native to the area, then so be it, they can only accept their fate.

However, I am a transmigrator. Although I lived an ordinary life in my previous life, at least I did not have to worry about the disaster of the Heavenly Dao destroying the world.

"Ugh, what bad luck! Why can't I just travel to a parallel modern world?"

In this world of high-level martial arts and fantasy, whoever wants to come can come!

Every 129,600 years is a cycle in this world, which is also the time when the Heavenly Dao begins to awaken and harvest cultivators as resources.

Countless cultivators were taken away by the Heavenly Dao, leaving only ordinary beings to reproduce and give birth to new powerful beings.

All living beings are like sheep being raised, and cultivators are like food on a plate!

With each harvest, the Way of Heaven grows ever stronger, causing all living beings to become ever weaker.

However, the resistance never stopped, and powerful cultivators repeatedly challenged and defied the Heavenly Dao.

This is a vast, caged world where everyone is like an ant, a livestock to be raised for food.

"But I've already transmigrated, so I don't have any cheat codes!"

"You know, in my past life I was a loyal user of fanzi and ideas!"

No sooner had I finished complaining than images of my past life exploded before my eyes, coalescing into a mysterious altar.

"No way, it really exists!!!"

Just then, a voice rang in my ears.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for breaking the mystery of your birth and awakening your past life memories! Your cheat code is now online!]

[Sprinkling flowers in celebration!!!]

Beneath the petals, Xia Zhaoyan's soul trembled with excitement.

"System!!! Hahaha..."

At this moment, Xia Zhaoyan's laughter was so hearty and domineering.

Fortunately, he was in a state of spiritual consciousness at the moment, and everything outside was in a different dimension from this place.

"System, tell me your functions."

[Host, this system is called the Heavenly Sacrifice System.]

[System Function: When the host or subordinates kill enemies, the system plunders their life force and uses it as a sacrifice to draw rewards.]

At this moment, a bronze cauldron appeared below the altar. Without any introduction, Xia Zhaoyan knew that this cauldron was used to contain life force.

The more life force you have, the richer the rewards you'll receive after the sacrifice!

At this moment, Xia Zhaoyan was only concerned about what the rewards would be.

[System Rewards include: cultivation techniques, elixirs, divine weapons and magical treasures, and figures from various realms and historical eras!]

Xia Zhaoyan's heart was pounding!

"The figures of the heavens and the great heroes of history? Are they the ones I'm thinking of?"

This is crucial to his future survival, as he faces numerous difficulties ahead.

The system seems to know what Xia Zhaoyan is thinking!

[That's right, they're the characters the host was thinking of!]

[However, in the initial stage, only figures from the heavens can be rewarded; the historical figures the host desires are not yet qualified for the host!]

"What do you mean? Why are you looking down on people?" This made Xia Zhaoyan unhappy.

What do you mean by not being qualified yet?

[Host, your ancestral planet in your past life was very special. Those historical figures who wished to be reborn could not be awakened by your current status and strength.]

[Only by becoming the Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and controlling the destiny of the era can the host officially awaken the outstanding talents of the ancestral star.]

Xia Zhaoyan was utterly dumbfounded. "I've already become the Emperor of Great Xia, so what use do I have for the heroes of Ancestral Star?"

"Are we just going to let them come here for sightseeing?"

The host will learn the specifics later!

[Alright, since this system has just gone live, I'm rewarding the host with a free gift.]

[Ding, congratulations host, you have been rewarded with one hundred guards.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have been rewarded with the Four Evils from the world of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have been rewarded with one of the Ten Great Villains from the world of Peerless Twins.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have been awarded one hundred Python Tendon Bows.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have been awarded one hundred fine steel swords.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have been awarded 100 sets of the Hundred Battle Armor.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have been rewarded with one hundred high-grade spirit crystals.]

[The reward period has ended. All prizes remain in the altar and can be materialized by the host at any time.]

[Please prepare yourself, host, and suppress your lecherous grin; we're about to leave this place.]

Xia Zhaoyan tried to calm himself down and decided not to look at the rewards now, lest he get too excited later, since they were in the imperial court in reality.

Leaving aside his own father, the emperor, even among the ministers in the court, every single one of them possessed a cultivation level far superior to his own.

The next moment, he felt everything go black before his eyes, and then his soul returned to reality.

At this moment, the eunuch on the platform was still reading the imperial edict.

[Xia Zhaoyan, hear my decree! I hereby bestow upon you the title of Benevolent King.]

From a young age you have been kind and gentle; I hope you will always maintain this kindness.

At this point, Xia Zhaoyan had finally heard the details of his new title.

Not to mention the other ministers, even he himself was utterly shocked at that moment.

I was completely dazed, because the title of "Benevolent King" had only appeared twice in the history of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The first was the third son of Emperor Taizu, who was granted the title of Prince Ren.

The second time was 20,000 years ago, when an ancestor in the royal family was bestowed with this title.

Both of these emperors shared a common trait: they had absolutely no interest in vying for the throne.

Moreover, his talent and abilities were relatively ordinary, which led to his early death.

From then on, the imperial family never used the title of Prince Ren again.

Because it was considered unlucky, as if the title carried a curse of early death!

However, one thing is certain: this title will not be targeted by the princes in the short term.

Xia Zhaoyan never expected that he would be given this "cursed" title at this moment.

He doesn't know whether to laugh or cry!

At this moment, the eunuch who was reading the imperial edict said...

"Please accept the imperial decree, Your Majesty!"

Xia Zhaoyan, with a complex expression, stepped out from the group and accepted the imperial edict.

He then respectfully thanked his father, the emperor.

"Your son kowtows in gratitude to Your Majesty!"

"Rise!" A dignified yet gentle voice came from above.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, the Xia Emperor's voice rang out again.

"Zhao'er, I hope you understand my good intentions!"

Xia Zhaoyan had calmed down by now and bowed again upon hearing this.

"Your Majesty, I understand. I have troubled you!"

"Good that you understand. Alright, you may leave now!" The Xia Emperor's voice was devoid of emotion.

Next, we'll have to arrange the queen's position!
