Transmigrating into history's first tyrant, I decide to lie flat and be a foolish ruler.
But the System tells me to ruin the fortunes of the realm, forcibly take beautiful women, and drive loyal ministers into rebellion. Every evil deed earns me one level of a divine art.
I can't help laughing: Being a foolish ruler comes with perks?
So...
I dismiss Bigan and receive ten levels of the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill.
I forcibly marry Daji and receive fifty years of pure cultivation.
I build a pond of wine and a forest of meat, and the System actually gives me the protective aura of a Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon!
Watching my cultivation and Foolish Ruler points soar, I fall into deep thought:
Could this Foolish Ruler System actually be a poverty-relief program?
At last, the army of Xiqi reaches the city walls. Ji Fa sneers from the front lines:
"Foolish ruler, today is the day you die!"
I strike with the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, and a hundred thousand soldiers vanish in an instant.
The court ministers all kneel. Old Bigan weeps bitterly:
"Your Majesty... you truly are a benevolent ruler for the ages!"
I panic. "Who are you insulting? I really am a foolish ruler!"
As soon as the words leave my mouth...
[Ding! The chosen one of destiny has identified you as a 'great bastard of a foolish ruler']
[Reward: Nine-Yang Divine Skill empowerment, advancing directly to the tenth level!]
Me: "..."
Oh no. There's no explaining my way out of this now.
