Cen Yuan transmigrates into a high-martial retelling of the Three Kingdoms, able to split mountains and rivers with a casual slash.
After activating the Famous Generals Treasure Box System, he plans to coast to victory, only to discover that famous generals come with "fate bindings" and are impossible to poach!
Cen Yuan finds a workaround: invest in Liu Bei and use him as a shell to go public!
[Ding! First top-up for assisting Liu Bei successful. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei trial cards received, along with permanent command of the White Feather Battalion!]
After claiming the fate-bound treasure boxes for free, he uses god-tier traits to turn all the world's "leftovers" into gods and demons!
Then Cen Yuan packs up everything he owns and declares himself independent.
Years later, Liu Bei arrives with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun to bring the traitor to heel.
Cen Yuan sits atop the city wall, munching on melon seeds, and casually points:
"Peerless General Pan Feng, go behead Yunchang. Heaven-Opening Divine General Xing Daorong, go tear Yide apart with your bare hands."
Watching Xing Daorong split the void with one axe strike, Liu Bei falls to his knees and wails, "Strategist! Just who is the true Son of Heaven?!"
