The moment Shen Jun opens his eyes, he finds himself reincarnated as the expendable crown prince in the novel Nine Heavens, the Sovereign of the Gods, destined to be killed by the protagonist!
Luckily, Shen Jun is bound to the Ultimate Bliss Banquet System: conquer SSS-rank characters to earn rewards!
The future empress, Nangong Qingluan?
Unparalleled talent and overwhelming good fortune?
Looking at her sky-high affection requirement and her aloof, proud persona from the novel, Shen Jun decisively changes targets:
A demoness imprisoned in the imperial dungeon? Go for it! A century of cultivation is his!
The demon sect's holy maiden surrounded by the righteous factions? Save her! The Nine Netherworld Flame is his!
The princess of the Netherworld Ghost Realm cursed by her bloodline? Break the curse! The Undying Body of the Yellow Springs is his!
It's not that the empress isn't worth pursuing, but villains offer better value!
From the empress's perspective:
The protagonist, the Ninth Prince, proudly shows off the pill he just finished refining:
"Qingluan, with this Realm-Breaking Pill, I can break through to the Core Condensation Realm in one go!"
Nangong Qingluan lowers her eyes, hiding the complicated look in them.
"Your Highness... you're truly impressive."
But in her heart, she recalls that day, when the Crown Prince cut down three Void Emptiness Venerables with a single sword, leaving her utterly shaken!
