Synopsis

[Wits and Schemes + Keeping a Low Profile + Anti-Cliché]

The day he transmigrated into the lowest-ranking cannon-fodder garrison soldier in Blackstone City, the System finally arrived.

Then it exploded.

The blast produced two female emperors, one righteous and one evil, who were forced to squeeze into Zhou He's sea of consciousness.

The Saint Lord liked to follow the rules. The Demon Lord believed in keeping things simple and brutal. When their two wills collided, they gave birth to a baffling mission: [Deal with him].

Zhou He: Hold on. Can someone explain what "deal with" means here?

[Heavenly Order Mission: Help those in need.] [Delusion Mission: Rob and murder.]

Zhou He: Only children make choices. I'll take both!

While tricking the two Supreme Beings in his head into setting traps for each other, he plots amid the cracks between noble clans, the government, and demonic cultivators. He trains troops, does business, and builds an intelligence network, drawing everyone onto his game board.

Only later do the two Supreme Beings realize a terrifying truth: whenever they dug pits for each other, the ladder at the bottom had been put there by this kid in advance.

But that great game, spanning ten thousand years, had been in play for over ten millennia. The day he crawled out of a pile of corpses was merely the first piece to be placed on the board.

This isn't a wish-fulfillment story about fighting monsters and leveling up. It's the story of a modern man setting rules for the cultivation world.
