You Sent Me to My Death in a Tomb, and Now You Want Me to Become Emperor?

"I haven't read many books, so don't come any closer!"

"Isn't cultivation just about gathering energy to make yourself more powerful?"

"What's wrong with visiting a tomb to pay my respects to the ancestors' bones?"

Lu Chen can't understand why, despite doing good deeds all day and wearing himself out for Blood Moon's great cause of unification, clearing out tomb beasts and crushing the rebel armies, people keep reporting him behind his back and accusing him of plotting to usurp power.

All he wants is to survive, then live quietly in the city.

"Clearing out tomb beasts? That's just removing obstacles to Blood Moon's great cause of unification, isn't it?"

"I'm only taking a little reward for all my hard work, earning some honest money. That's perfectly reasonable, right?"

"Crushing the rebel armies? I'll just absorb them into my ranks and put them to work making money for me. Then they'll be gone, won't they?"

"Why resort to all that fighting and killing?"

"Disaster relief? They can all come work under me. I'll provide food and lodging. That's perfectly normal, isn't it?"

"Once everyone's left, the earthquake and the disaster can take care of themselves, right?"
