My Emperor Faked His Death and Went into Seclusion for a Century, Only for His Consort to Take Over

Ye Hao transmigrated into the body of the Great Xia Emperor. With the empire on the verge of conquering the world, he awakened the [God-Tier Seclusion System]. Seclude yourself for one day: Reward [Ten Years of Pure Cultivation] Seclude yourself for ten days: Reward [Chaos Imperishable Body], an immortal physique impervious to all techniques. Seclude yourself for one month: Reward the divine weapon [Nine Heavens God-Slaying Spear] Seclude yourself for ninety-nine years: Reward [Golden Dragon of National Fortune] He could become stronger just by secluding himself. Who needs this throne anymore! Ye Hao decisively faked his death, went behind the scenes, and secluded himself for a hundred years, gathering countless divine techniques and supreme treasures. When his seclusion progress reached 99 percent and he was about to complete his cultivation and become invincible in the world... A thought suddenly crossed his mind, and he discovered that someone had “stolen his home”! The Martial Consort Wu, who had once accompanied him day and night with such gentleness and obedience, had actually declared herself emperor after his “death,” ascending to the throne as empress! She slaughtered the former dynasty’s old ministers to the last man and even forced the crown prince he had personally appointed to commit suicide. Ye Hao swept the imperial palace with his divine sense and was about to leave seclusion to purge the traitors when he heard the empress let out an incredulous shriek at the crown prince’s final decree. The decree contained only one line, written in blood by his own hand: “My beloved consort, I’ll lend you this dragon throne for a few days. When I emerge from seclusion, I hope you... will still be able to sit firmly upon it.” At the same time, the System’s final notification rang out in his mind: “Ding! A change of ruler has been detected. National fortune is in turmoil. Hidden mission [Heavenly Emperor Behind the Scenes] activated!” “Final reckoning begins upon leaving seclusion. This world has always existed within my seclusion!”
