Gu Qingyun, the eldest legitimate son of a military family in Great Zhou.
To help the fallen princess Liu Yan'er ascend the throne, I wagered the lives of my entire clan!
For three years, I put down rebellions and cut down every corrupt minister for her. My younger brother died on the battlefield,
and my father was framed and sentenced to death, yet I always believed her promise: “When I take the throne, we will rule the realm together and stay by each other's side for life.”
But on the day the dragon throne was stained with blood, the moment she looked down at me in her imperial robes, every promise became a joke!
“Gu Qingyun, your achievements threaten the throne. Your entire family are traitors!”
Only later did I understand: I hadn't lost because my achievements threatened the throne. From the very beginning, I had been nothing but her stepping stone!
As I lay on the brink of death, a mechanical voice rang out in my mind: [Ding! Extreme hatred detected in Host. The Demon Seed Summoning System has successfully bound itself! First summon unlocked: Divine Demon, Demon Lu Bu!]
I offered my essence blood, and demonic energy soared into the sky. The Fangtian Halberd ripped the heavens apart. Demon Lu Bu dropped to one knee and roared, “My lord! I am ready to raze the imperial city for you!”
From then on, I wielded the System and summoned demonic figures from across the ages, sweeping across the world!
