Emperors of Every Dynasty Descend

Volume One: Awakening in the Imperial City Chapter One: A Strange Encounter at the Museum Wang Mang had never imagined that an ordinary visit to a museum during a trip to Xi'an would completely change his fate. As a historical fiction writer, Wang Mang was particularly fascinated by Han dynasty history. At that moment, he stood in the Han dynasty gallery of the Shaanxi History Museum, gazing at an exquisite bronze artifact in a glass display case: a bronze measuring rod from the Xin dynasty, a standard instrument for weights and measures issued during Wang Mang's reforms. "Standardizing the written language, unifying the wheels of carts, standardizing weights and measures..." Wang Mang murmured, picturing the controversial reformer. "If you'd had more time, could you really have created an ideal state?" Just then, the museum lights suddenly flickered a few times. Wang Mang felt dizzy and instinctively grabbed the display case. When he came to, he saw that the bronze measuring rod inside was giving off a faint golden glow. "What's going on?" He looked around, but the other visitors didn't seem to have noticed anything unusual. As if in a trance, Wang Mang pressed his hand against the glass. Suddenly, the golden light from the bronze rod blazed, passed straight through the glass, and surged into his palm! A mechanical voice rang out in his mind: [Compatible Host detected. Dragon Head System binding in progress...] [Binding successful! Welcome to the Myriad Worlds Emperor Quest System.] To his horror, Wang Mang saw a translucent System interface appear in his field of vision, displaying all kinds of data panels he'd only ever seen in novels.
