To Li Yunlong, death was nothing to fear.
Bullets travel at 300 m/s. They pass through the brain and destroy the nerves in just 0.01 seconds.
So all he felt was that he closed his eyes and opened them again, and the scenery before him had completely changed.
"Creation System 009 is now bound. Congratulations, Host! We have selected you from across the universe as the person best suited to this world. You are about to become its king!"
Li Yunlong frowned. "What kind of nonsense is this? I believe the people should be in charge."
009: "...Whatever makes you happy, Host. All you have to do is save the world."
Li Yunlong looked at the green hills and clear waters before him, the fertile black soil and golden wheat swaying gently across the hills in the breeze. He felt completely at ease, and the shadow of death gradually faded.
He asked the System in puzzlement, "Does this world need saving?"
009: "Just walk a little farther."
Li Yunlong followed the path and spotted a building that looked like the kind of place foreigners lived in in his previous life.
Then he saw a scene straight out of hell.
He saw carts carrying load after load of wheat to a warehouse, while the people ate a sticky, foul-smelling gruel.
He saw soldiers standing beside a clear lake, forbidding anyone to approach, while filthy children could only fetch water from a dirty ditch.
He saw naked, hunched-over people laboring in the fields, while behind them a well-dressed beast lashed them with a whip, drawing blood and tearing their flesh.
Li Yunlong clenched his fists.
"If I don't overthrow this damn world, then you can write the name Li Yunlong backwards! Whatever your name is, 07 or 09, tell me how I can help."
009 was thrilled. "Don't worry, Host. Although magic exists in this world, we've prepared all kinds of skills and weapons for you, which you can exchange for faith points! I've also prepared a beginner's gift pack for you. They say it's the faith weapon best suited to you!"
Li Yunlong suddenly felt a weight on his body. He was effortlessly carrying an artillery piece that looked like it weighed several thousand kilograms on his shoulder.
009: "This is the weapon your followers currently think suits you best: Battalion Commander Two's Italian cannon! Of course, since it's a personal weapon, we removed the wheels and everything!"
Li Yunlong's eyes lit up. He hoisted the cannon on his shoulder, aimed at the foreigner's castle, and fired!
After the Bright Sword Legion had crossed half the continent, the major religions joined forces and called on the gods to unleash divine punishment.
Li Yunlong: "What was that white-robed guy saying about divine power?"
009: "Divine power is just the power of faith. Let me think of something."
China, 2103.
Recently, a new original TV series, Bright Sword Spirit in the West, quietly appeared on every video platform. At first, nobody paid it any attention, but the moment the protagonist appeared, and with every episode's polished production, it set the entire internet ablaze!
Netizen A: Holy crap, have you guys watched that new show? Is AI face-swapping really this good now? That actor looks exactly like the late Mr. Li, and it looks completely natural!
Netizen B: I have to recommend this show to the whole world! The production blows all those star-studded dramas out of the water! And the best part is, it's free! No uploader has found any trace of product placement yet!
Netizen C: Li Yunlong is the GOAT! Down with monarchy! Down with slavery! Socialism is the best!
One million, ten million, fifty million, one hundred million, two hundred million...
The faith points in the System's backend kept soaring at a visible rate!
So what if you gods descend upon the world?
We have the faith of 1.4 billion people behind us!
