Synopsis

Zhang Chen transmigrates and becomes a snake!

Luckily, he's bound to a System that lets him devour things and cultivate!

After a hundred years of hard cultivation, he finally reaches the point where he can undergo tribulation and transform into a dragon!

But the System warns him that spiritual energy is depleted in this world, and the death rate for those who take human form during the heavenly tribulation is as high as 99%!

Zhang Chen grits his teeth and decisively chooses another way to transform!

He travels down the Qinhuai River, where Zhu Yuanzhang happens to be building a levee.

“Emperor of the Great Ming, do I look like a dragon to you?”

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes light up.

“To Us, you look like the Great Ming's divine dragon, protector of the nation!”
