Gu Chenyuan expanded the Great Yuan Dynasty's borders by ten thousand li, only to be impeached by the entire court for being too powerful and a threat to the throne.
His father suspected him, and his mother despised him. They gave all their affection to his hypocritical younger brother, who was good for nothing but empty talk.
In the end, an imperial edict stripped Gu Chenyuan of his position as crown prince, abolished his cultivation, and threw him into the death cell. He was to be executed the next day!
Inside the death cell, Gu Chenyuan's heart died completely. He saw the royal family's coldheartedness and treachery for what they were.
At that very moment, the [Eternal Emperor System] activated!
[Choice One: Bow your head and admit your fault, content to spend your life as a cripple. Reward: a few extra breaths.]
[Choice Two: Sever your family ties and rebel against Great Yuan! Reward: one hundred thousand Netherworld Pagoda troops, four Divine Generals of the Prison, and a Supreme Emperor Bone!]
Gu Chenyuan laughed coldly at the sky. “To hell with family ties! I don't want this dynasty anymore!”
The next day, one hundred thousand Netherworld iron cavalry, as if risen from hell, trampled the gates of the capital to pieces.
Rivers of blood flowed as the entire court wailed in despair.
His emperor father knelt and wept. “Yuan'er, I was wrong! The Great Yuan empire is yours!”
His biased mother pleaded desperately. “You're my own flesh and blood. How can you kill your mother?”
Seated atop a throne forged from bones, Gu Chenyuan raised his sword without mercy. “Kill them all. Leave no one alive! I shall establish an eternal, undying divine dynasty!”
