Back to 1998

[Complete] As Lin Qing slipped down the mountain, she thought back over her life.

At eighteen, she received her university acceptance letter, but never went to college.

She was determined to make a fortune and quickly make something of herself, just to show her deadbeat father, who had abandoned her mother and her, what he had missed.

By the time she finally achieved financial freedom, she looked back and found that her mother had grown old and her younger sister had changed.

Lin Qing bought food for her mother and took her to see the world. Her mother said, "The doctors won't let me eat any of this anymore. All I want now is to rest at home."

Lin Qing told her adult younger sister to change her surname. Her sister said, "Dad said he'd buy me a house if I took his surname. I'll change it, but you have to buy me a house too."

She had made her fortune, but missed more than ten years of their lives.

When Lin Qing opened her eyes again, she was back in the summer of 1998.

This time, she'd make money and get an education. She'd spend plenty of time with her mother, and if her sister didn't behave... she'd just have to beat her up a few more times!

She would never give another glance to her father's shameless family.

Jiang Ying downloaded a game called "Rise of the Tribe," but to her surprise, her soul was pulled into an ancient alternate world.

From the start, she was the chieftain's daughter. But the chieftain died in battle, and Jiang Ying was immediately tied to a stake to be burned alive.

She immediately opened the game System and tapped the points exchange button. An item to save her life, please!

Jiang Ying led her people in working hard (and earning points).

[Farmland +1 +1 +1...]

[Poultry +1 +1 +1...]

[Skill points assigned. Congratulations, your tribe has gained cavalry!]

[Skill points assigned. Congratulations, your tribe has gained craftsmen!]

[Skill book in use. Your craftsmen have learned the Water Purification System!]

[Skill book in use. Your craftsmen have learned the Urban Sewage System!]

[Congratulations on leveling up. The entire army has been equipped with Bronze Armor!]

[Your tribe is strong enough to conquer the Gonggong clan. Start a war? Yes/No]

With a Sunset Bow in hand, Jiang Ying rose from chieftain to town chief, city lord, and queen.

The city-state was born because of her, and the empire bowed before her.

A historian wrote in a research paper: "Deifying and turning the supreme ruler into a totem is a common thread throughout history. Jiang Ying is undoubtedly the oldest and most archetypal example."

"Her rise began at the stake, so the tribe's totem became a phoenix reborn from the flames."

Jiang Ying: It's not that complicated.

Actually, the tribe's first totem was a chicken.

They conquered a tribe whose totem was a snake and added a snake's neck.

They conquered a tribe whose totem was a swallow and added a swallow's beak.

They conquered a tribe whose totem was a turtle and added a turtle's shell.

They conquered a tribe whose totem was a fish and added a fish's tail... They kept adding parts until it became a phoenix.

Why was the tribe's first totem a chicken?

When they chose their totem, she'd just exchanged for a flock of chickens through the game System. The whole tribe was moved to tears by the smell of eggs and chicken!
