In his previous life, Li Fengxiao ascended the throne as the empire teetered on the brink of collapse. For twenty-five years, he poured his heart and soul into leading the entire court in outworking the other two kingdoms and bringing an end to the chaos and war.
At his deathbed, his ministers wept and threw themselves to the ground, but Li Fengxiao only smiled.
"Stop making such a fuss. All of you, leave. Let me... sleep in for once."
He didn't need to dream of a better life. The peaceful, prosperous age he had dreamed of countless times, with the people living in health and contentment, had already come to pass before he closed his eyes.
"Hey, you sickly thing, open your eyes!"
Li Fengxiao opened his eyes. Beneath his feet was a formation covered in intricate patterns, and before him stood a man in extravagant clothes, wreathed in black energy and looking thoroughly impatient.
First, he was inexplicably summoned to another world where anyone could cultivate immortality and gods, demons, ghosts, and monsters were everywhere.
Then he learned that the man in extravagant clothes who summoned him was a tyrant cursed and reviled by the people. The curse had poisoned him, and only the light of merit could save his life.
Li Fengxiao looked down. He was glowing with so much golden light that the light of his merit nearly blinded the tyrant.
"Want to live longer? Then do something good for the people first."
The tyrant: "In your dreams!"
Years later, gods and demons clashed in the skies above the royal city. In the bedchamber, Li Fengxiao, who cared deeply for his people, tossed and turned, worrying about the civilians caught in the war below. At last, the tyrant beside him could take no more. He burst through the window, shielded them with dragon energy, and blasted the two battling sides apart with a single spear thrust.
"I don't care what kind of demon or monster you are. If you don't want to be wiped out completely, stay away from my wife and children!"
