Exiled to the Abyss for Twenty Years, Advancing One Realm Each Year to Become a Great Emperor

Reborn as the useless prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, Qin Yuan watches his eldest brother, the crown prince, shake the Eastern Continent with his Nine Suns Sacred Body. He is hailed as the prodigy most likely to break through to the Great Emperor realm.

His father places all his hopes in the crown prince, never expecting that the ancestral "Heavenly Mandate Curse" means he will die if he fails to reach the Great Emperor realm within a hundred years.

To protect the eldest prince, they transfer the Heavenly Mandate Curse to Qin Yuan.

He becomes the one they cast aside.

"Yuan'er, I hope you understand your father's good intentions. You're a useless wastrel, nothing like your elder brother."

"As long as you can die in your brother's place, I will remember you forever."

Qin Yuan refuses, but the Qin Emperor threatens his mother and younger sister. With no other choice, he can only accept the Heavenly Mandate Curse.

In the end, he is exiled to the Heavenly Abyss, banished from the capital and left to fend for himself.

At the edge of despair...

[Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have awakened the Three-Choice System.]

[You may make one choice each year.]

[One: Break through your current realm immediately.]

[Two: Comprehend any technique and master it completely.]

[Three: Obtain a random heavenly treasure, divine pill, or top-tier talent.]

Qin Yuan laughs loudly.

"I choose to break through to the Great Emperor realm!"

"I will master an Emperor-level technique completely!"

"I obtain the Chaos Divine Body!"

Twenty years later...

Qin Yuan sets foot in the imperial city once more. His father, the Qin Emperor, looks up at his son, now towering above him, and falls to his knees in despair, begging for mercy.

"Yuan'er, your father was wrong about you!"

Qin Yuan gives a cold laugh.

"You weren't wrong about me. You were afraid!"
