I Became a Goddess in Ancient Times and Ascended After Fulfilling My Mission

[No Romance, Feel-Good Power Fantasy, Strong Female Lead, Supporting an Empress, System]

Chu Yueshu, a veteran Infinite Flow player, finally hit a snag in a cultivation level and failed her mission.

She couldn’t withstand all eighty-one bolts of heavenly lightning. In the end, she fell just short of success.

In the void, the System pondered for a moment. “If you can’t become a god through military merit, perhaps you could try earning worship and offerings?”

Chu Yueshu froze, then finally lifted her eyes.

During the northern campaign, Ming Jing, the third prince of Qi, ventured deep into enemy territory and won a great victory, only to suffer grave injuries.

As he teetered on the brink of death, a miraculous sight appeared in the sky, and snow began to fall.

A goddess emerged from the snow. Her icy fingertip touched his brow, and she brought him back from the dead!

Power struggles for the throne, noble clans everywhere, natural and man-made disasters: the great edifice of Qi was on the verge of collapse, and its people were in misery!

“Save the country,” the System said calmly.

“Establish a moral compass for the world, secure the people’s livelihood, carry on the lost teachings of the sages, and bring peace to all for generations to come.”

“Build her temples and accept their offerings. Only when your achievements are complete may you ascend.”

After years of rain, disaster victims were left homeless, selling their children for a slim chance to survive.

Chu Yueshu rescued a battered young girl from beneath a whip. Holding the child’s emaciated body in her arms, she closed her eyes.

She said, “All right.”

In the Golden Throne Hall, the new emperor ascended the jade steps as civil and military officials bowed and called out in unison.

On the city wall, Chu Yueshu stood with her hands behind her back. Her compassionate gaze passed over carts laden with fine grain and bustling markets before finally settling on the children laughing beneath the wall.

The empress climbed the steps and asked hesitantly, “Divine One, won’t you stay a little longer?”

Chu Yueshu gently shook her head and motioned for the other woman to look up. The sun was rising in the distance.

Thus, the seas grew calm, the rivers ran clear, and peace came to the land.
