Wu Zhi transmigrates to another world, where he can become the Heavenly Emperor if he dies! So he starts recklessly trying to get himself killed. But before long, he realizes something about this world just isn't right. Empress of Dali: "Wu Zhi risked offending the imperial carriage to prove his resolve with his life. I will protect him at all costs!" Powerful court official: "Though you stand against me, you are upright and fearless of death. I can't bring myself to harm you with underhanded tactics. Go!" Cultivator of an Immortal Sect: "Mr. Wu speaks with the authority of Heaven and offers wisdom offhandedly. I've benefited immensely from his guidance. He should lead all the Immortal Sects under heaven!" Wu Zhi: "Please, just let me die! I really do want to die!"
