Jiang Xing, an ace mercenary, is hunted by an unknown faction during a mission. Just as she reaches the end of her rope, she unexpectedly awakens a System. With its help, she escapes, only to discover that the System has ambitions of its own.
[I want my Host to become a god.]
From then on, Jiang Xing is dragged onto the path to godhood.
Fight monsters, level up, and work hard at cultivation. Not enough: she also has to find a way to hatch eggs and raise children.
Leap through cultivation ranks and leave all rivals in the dust. Not enough: she also has to fight monopolistic corporations for resources.
Make her name resound across the Five Continents. Not enough: she also has to work to overthrow the Alliance government.
Finally succeed in her rebellion. Not enough: she still has to save the shattered Heavenly Dao.
At last, Jiang Xing reaches the rank of Emperor and stands on the verge of true godhood. The prayers she hears are deafening: the hopes and heartfelt wishes of all living beings.
“Living beings pray: May the gods grant us their blessings, and may the dawn of life shine upon us!”
Only then does Jiang Xing realize, far too late, that everything she has been through was fate.
