The protagonist, Ye Cheng, is an ordinary man who accidentally transmigrates into the world of tomb raiding. From the start, he is standing before the Bronze Gate, and the System forces him to take the place of Zhang Qiling, who is about to enter hibernation.
“Ding! Identity Disguise System activated! Obtained [Qilin Blood, Imperfect Version], [Black Gold Ancient Saber, Replica], and [Fakiu Finger, Trial Card]!”
Looking at Xiaoge, who is barely breathing and about to enter the gate, Ye Cheng is forced to kick him out.
“Quiet!”
Imitating the coldness of Xiaoge from his memories, Ye Cheng utters one word, then steps into the enormous Bronze Gate himself.
Ten years later, the gate opens again.
As Wu Sansheng, Pan Zi, and the others gaze expectantly beyond the gate, Ye Cheng emerges with a frigid stare and an aura even more terrifying than Zhang Qiling's had been ten years ago.
“Xiaoge?” Wu Xie asks tentatively.
Ye Cheng says nothing, only glancing at the Fatty behind him.
The Gold-Grabbing Talisman in Fatty's hand suddenly starts to grow warm!
“You... You're not Xiaoge! Who are you?” Wu Xie's face turns deathly pale.
A cold smile appears at the corner of Ye Cheng's mouth. He can't be bothered to explain. He has only one goal on this trip: to visit, one by one, all the tombs from the original story that nearly killed the Iron Triangle, and claim every opportunity inside for himself! The jade burial suit in the Seven-Star Lu Palace? Mine! The meteorite jade beneath the Western Sand Sea? Mine! King Wannu of the Cloud-Top Palace? One slash will do!
He'll show everyone that this era no longer needs Zhang Qiling. With Ye Cheng alone, that's more than enough!
The overall novel framework and story progression are good, but it's becoming less and less appealing to me 🤦. Marking this down.
