I'm Taking the Vermilion Bird Emperor's Throne

This is a story set in the world of Battle Through the Heavens.

Sikong Huang was an insignificant office drone on Earth. After reading Battle Through the Heavens, he somehow transmigrated into its world and gained a Devouring System far more powerful than the Flame Mantra!

As a coward, he wouldn't even dare dream of slapping the future Flame Emperor in the face or claiming the beauties of this world for himself. All he wanted was to cling tightly to the Flame Emperor's coattails and beg him to carry him to victory.

But...

What? You're saying I'm the chosen one?

What? You're saying I have Vermilion Bird blood?

What? The Vermilion Bird Great Emperor is about to fall, and is waiting for a new emperor to take his place?

But I'm just a nobody with mediocre cultivation!

For a high-risk, high-reward job like this, of course I...

Can't let it pass me by!!!

I'm claiming the throne of the Vermilion Bird Great Emperor!!!
