Xuanhuan: I'm the Legitimate Eldest Son from the Start, and You Want Me to Kill Myself?

[Not a Good-for-Nothing] [Not a Simp] [Decisive and Ruthless] [Invincible Prodigy, Pure Power Fantasy]

"First Prince, the imperial decree is here. Please take your own life to uphold the majesty of our emperor!"

Chen Di wakes up to find himself the legitimate eldest son of the current emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty. He possesses peerless martial talent, is the youngest martial grandmaster of his age, and commands 1.2 million troops guarding the four frontier regions. He has earned the hearts of both the people and the army.

But now some eunuch-looking fellow is holding up a so-called imperial decree and telling him to kill himself? What a joke!

First, he asks, "You say I'm the legitimate eldest son?" "Yes."

Second, he asks, "You say I'm the commander of 1.2 million frontier troops?" "That's right."

Third, he asks, "You say I am the heir to the oldest noble house in the Great Yan Dynasty?" "Everyone under heaven knows that. Why ask this old man, Your Highness?"

"Guards, drag him away and execute him! I've had to listen to this old dog yapping for so long that my ears are about to grow calluses."

"Pass down my orders: prepare provisions and muster the troops. March with me to the capital!"

"I shall rally the realm to quell the rebellion and purge the traitors at the emperor's side!"

Yet the waters of this world run deeper than he imagined. The kings and emperors of ancient legend have long since passed away, while the evil gods beyond the borders are constantly seeking to invade this world.

The prophecy left by the founding emperor is about to come true. Those who passed away will eventually return, and the curtain is about to rise on the so-called Great Age.

Looking at the people driven from their homes and made to suffer, and at local officials who worship gods and Buddhas, trading the lives of countless commoners for divine power, Chen Di let out a furious vow:

"I will carve a path from Liangzhou in the northern frontier all the way to the capital, and see just how many demons and monsters are lurking in my Great Yan realm!"
