The Immortal Dynasty: Beginning as a Mortal Emperor

[Business management] [Multiple heroines] [Slow-paced] The short version: From iron armor to immortal-gold battle armor, from handcraft workshops to automated formation-production complexes, from volleys of arrows to talisman shells, from armored carriages to war fortresses, and from feudal empire to undying immortal dynasty. Be a cyber emperor and experience every flavor of life. The literary version: “So you're saying that even after I become emperor, I still have to pay the sacred sects with heavenly treasures and cultivation prospects? Wouldn't that make me a beggar on my knees?” “Put it that way, and being an emperor under the sacred sects really is like begging on your knees.” “I just don't get it. Spiritual qi has revived, and everyone's starting cultivation from scratch. Why should I still have to beg?” “Have you ever cultivated immortality?” “No.” “Cultivation requires wealth, companions, techniques, and a suitable place. You need an immortal's foundations, sacred mountains and treasures, cultivation arts, and a legacy. The sects have everything. Before long, they'll rule the world. If you don't kneel now, plenty of people will want to kneel later but won't get the chance. There's no shame in begging for immortality!” “Shameful! Damn shameful! I became emperor at eight! I crushed internal rebellions and factional strife, routed the northern cavalry, brought the people peace and security, and laid the foundations for a golden age. I have a backbone! I won't kneel!” “So you want to cultivate immortality while standing? Then you can't.” “I can't?” “You can't!” “Can I cultivate with this, the Fifty-Year National Cultivation Plan?” “You can, but you'll have to kneel before a sacred sect.” “Can I stand with this, the imperial seal?” “You can stand, but you can't become an immortal!” “Then can I stand and cultivate immortality with this and this together?” “May I ask who Your Imperial Highness is?” “I am the Emperor of Great Xia, and the Undying Emperor!”
