Synopsis

[High Martial Arts, history only I know, simulator, eternal emperor, famous generals, heroic spirits]

This is a high-martial-arts world under invasion by countless demon lairs. Humanity's only way to survive is to form a pact with a heroic spirit upon turning eighteen!

Once the pact is sealed, they can summon their heroic spirit to fight for them and slaughter their way through the demon lairs!

Xia Yu, who had transmigrated here, was astonished to discover that the so-called heroic spirits in this world were all historical figures from his own world, only turned into mythic beings!

The human race's mightiest warrior, who killed the Demon Emperor with a sword, a brush, and a single man, leaving no trace behind even after a thousand miles, had formed a pact with the Sword Immortal, the Poet Immortal Li Bai!

The nation-guarding general who ambushed and killed a million demon soldiers in one fell swoop, striking fear into both the human and demon races, had formed a pact with the God of Slaughter, Bai Qi!

At the highly anticipated heroic spirit pact ceremony, everyone was scrambling to claim descendants of illustrious families and famed generals, born into generations of high office.

Faced with a host of character backgrounds, Xia Yu chose: [Under a tyrannical government, you were born to poor peasants. Your entire family died, and to survive, you begged on the streets with a broken bowl.]

Wait, you start with a bowl, and nobody wants it?

The whole internet mocked him for his choice.

In the face of their ridicule, Xia Yu quietly started a simulation.

The further it went, the more astonished everyone became...

“What! He starts with a bowl and ends up the greatest emperor of all time?!”

[In an age of chaos, you were born to a farming family in Pei County. You spent your days lazing about and keeping bad company. Even past the age of forty, you were still a street thug.]

[In the final years of the Warring States period, you were born a commoner, dependent on others for shelter and food, and publicly humiliated by a man who made you crawl between his legs.]

While everyone else was still struggling to secure a single human-grade heroic spirit, Xia Yu had already been scooping up bargains like crazy, forming pacts with several mythic-grade heroic spirits and standing alone against the demon lairs! His power would endure through the ages!

Guys, I haven't found an urban novel this much to my taste in years. The protagonist has a superpower. At first, I thought it was a System-powered wish-fulfillment story, but after more than 80,000 words, I realized it's actually an alien-themed wild ride. Who knows what other twists are coming?

I want to read books similar to "After Videos Connect to Ancient Times, the Emperors Secretly Compete with One Another."

It displays the history of each dynasty's emperors, or someone explains that dynasty's history. Interaction would be fine too, but it is not required.

That was fantastic! No wonder he's a veteran writer; the pacing was impeccable. This isn't working...

The story is actually quite good, and the narration is decent, but the characterization is a bit too stereotypical. The male lead falls in love with every woman he meets, and all the women fall in love with him. This kind of wish-fulfillment story with its saccharine humor really needs less of that. I seriously suspect the author is just padding the text; I skipped ahead and found very little substantial content. Now I'm eagerly awaiting updates and urging for more. I'll keep reading.

Superb! The comments section is much more interesting than the book. The book's content is hard to describe in a few words, but the comments section is so much fun, hahaha! 😂 Five stars! I highly recommend checking out the comments section. Five minutes of reading, half an hour in the comments! 😂😂😂

Author, you could write more adventures and battle scenes. I won't say anything about a harem of three thousand beauties, but please reduce the number of imperial concubines, haha 🤦. I quite like that type of story, and you could also write about military generals and famous ministers. Uh... That's all for now. Also, many readers have started school. I hope you'll increase the difficulty, making it even stronger than before 😏😏, I'm rooting for you 😘❤️ [Upvote][Upvote]

It's pretty good. It incorporates historical fact, and any revisions are clearly explained. It's just a bit short right now. It's an invincible story, a chosen one, but the protagonist is a bit casual about "that kind of thing."

I hope the author can do the following: "Come on, author, read after me." I solemnly swear: From this day forward, I will never fail to keep up. I will not watch dramas, travel, or get sick. I will not play games. Playful, not fluffy. Strict self-discipline, valuing time like gold, and unyielding. Scratch, strive and struggle, pursue excellence, and forge brilliance with code.

Worth reading; after finishing it, I felt completely refreshed. 1. Character Development: Although not starting with just a bowl, the family background is still full of ups and downs, leaving much to the imagination. 2. Plot: Multiple perspectives, summoning legendary figures from various eras, shining brightly in the same time, reclaiming lost territory, and driving out foreign races. 3.

Good, quick update! But why isn't the first Heroic Spirit Qin Shi Huang? Wouldn't that be even more powerful? 🙂
