From the Start: Zhu Yuanzhang Begs to Join the Top Ten Emperors

Overworked wage slave Lin Mo, trapped in the 996 grind, pulls an all-nighter and dies suddenly. By a twist of fate, he binds himself to a History Education System and is forced to make videos ranking the top ten emperors in exchange for a chance to come back to life. When the ranking videos are projected into the skies of every dynasty, Emperor Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang flies into a rage at being ranked tenth. He tears through time and space and sends the Imperial Guards to assassinate Lin Mo, only for Lin Mo to fight back by binding himself to the fate of the empire: every inch the Ming dynasty expands, his cultivation surges by one point! Forced to join forces with Lin Mo, Zhu Yuanzhang gradually discovers that the video rankings conceal shocking secrets: Ying Zheng is actually the reincarnation of the Ancestral Dragon, Li Shimin bears the star fate of the Heavenly Strategy, and the Hongwu Era he is so proud of is nothing more than a game in which gods from another world raise humanity like livestock. When the divine souls of the ten emperors gather in Chang'an across time and space, Huo Qubing pilots a futuristic mech to sweep away the insectoid hordes, Zhu Yuanzhang shoulders an orbital cannon and blasts Mount Olympus, and Chongzhen awakens the bloodline of the Human Emperor in the apocalypse... See how Lin Mo leads these wildly reimagined emperors through a shattered world of spiritual qi revival and invading races, fighting a bloody path to restart the primordial world!
