Pei Jingshu, the most disliked ninth prince in the Dajing Empire, was not only poisoned by a strange poison but could not survive the age of twenty-two, he was also used as a drug by his biological father and imprisoned in the cold palace.
Everyone thought he was a useless person who could only wait for death. Even his fiancée broke off the engagement in public and stepped on his dignity to gain power.
However, no one knew that the [Tianji Chess System] had awakened in Pei Jingshu's mind!
"The world is like a chess piece, and you have no regrets when you make a move. Since the world regards me as an abandoned piece, then I will use all living beings as chess pieces!"
Pei Jingshu rubbed the beads with his fingertips, smiled slightly, and dropped a white piece on the system's empty chessboard——
[Ding! You have bound the eldest prince as "Heizi" and deduced that he will fail to force the palace after three days. You will receive the reward: ten thousand years of cultivation and the soul-eating powder antidote!
[Ding! You have bound the True Immortal from the Upper Realm as the "Jiezi", deduced that he came to Mount Tai and was killed by the Heavenly Tribulation, and you received the reward: the God-killing Immortal Sword!
As a result, the Dajing Empire was in chaos.
The powerful prime minister, the aloof prince, and even the immortals who regarded ordinary people as ants all unknowingly entered the dead end set by Pei Jingshu.
Pei Jingshu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and chuckled: "Brother Emperor, it's time for you to make a move."
With a snap of his fingers, a hundred thousand ambushes instantly switched sides, and the eldest prince was paralyzed on the spot with fear!
It turns out that the sick man who takes three breaths every step of the way is actually the emperor behind the scenes who is in charge of life and death in the world!
