The nation has fallen, the family destroyed, and rebel forces are at the gates.
I, Xuan Chen, the most miserable emperor in history, find my coronation ceremony turned into a livestream of my funeral.
Just as all hope seems lost, I accidentally activate a forbidden power hidden in the Imperial Jade Seal...
And summon a group of so-called players, the Fourth Calamity!
They are immortal, never stop cracking jokes, and treat my imperial palace like a dungeon to grind.
"Your Majesty, can I sit on this throne? I want to take a photo and post it on the forums!"
"That's all the quest reward? Useless devs!"
"Out of the way! I'm soloing the barbarian camp!"
Watching these lawless strangers, I smile.
They fight by grinding, strategize by competing to outdo each other, and even bring their own supplies to help me suppress rebellions, open sea routes, establish sects, and fight the barbarians...
Until an evil god descends, the world's laws collapse, and the System flashes a blood-red warning:
[Anomalous data detected. Beginning purge...]
I slowly rise and reveal my true imperial majesty to the billions of players:
"Heavenly soldiers!
"Will you follow me and slay a god?"
(Transmigration + Fourth Calamity + behind-the-scenes mastermind + divine power struggles + epic ensemble cast)
Here, the emperor is an NPC, the players are a calamity, and the world is an epic we write together.
