[Largely behind the scenes + building a power base + from tribe to Heavenly Court + light ensemble cast + imperial power]
All six billion people on Earth transmigrated into tribal chiefs, each receiving a talent.
Random passerby A: I have an S-rank Ice and Snow Kingdom. What can you possibly compete with?
Qin Yuan: Sorry, I've got the Human Emperor's aura.
Random passerby B: I have an SSS-rank Netherworld King. I'm destined to rule the underworld.
Qin Yuan: Oh, mine has no rank, but I've got the Human Emperor's aura.
Random passerby B: You... *coughs up blood*
While the six billion chiefs were still celebrating their large populations, powerful tribespeople, and Earth-rank and Heaven-rank witch artifacts,
Qin Yuan had unexpectedly obtained the Human Emperor's aura and was steadily becoming the Heavenly Emperor. He had already taken control of every worldly power, and all people revered him.
His subjects, too, generally possessed special physiques and powerful talents, and nearly everyone had a witch artifact.
A thousand years later.
A transmigrator who had settled in the wilderness and conquered the entire region, with power that rivaled a god's, finally believed he was strong enough to contend for the throne of Heavenly Emperor and emerged from the wilderness.
A black spear, vast enough to blot out the sky, instantly pierced his body.
The man asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you?"
I am a humble soldier of the Great Qin Heavenly Court.
This is the territory of the Great Qin Heavenly Court. By order of the Heavenly Emperor, no wilderness survivors may enter the Nine Provinces without permission. Trespassers will be killed!
A friendly reminder: the other people from Blue Star who transmigrated at the same time don't get much screen time.
The pace is tight and worth watching. As the author, do you still update it?
