He wakes up to find he has transmigrated into Investiture of the Gods, and has even become King Zhou, who is destined to burn himself to death.
In the Nine-Bay Hall, Qin Yun feels that something is off about the person he has transmigrated into. The timing is wrong, too.
He is dressed in a black royal robe with wide sleeves, its edges embroidered in gold with the design of a black bird.
A man in the hall declares loudly, “I am Shang Rong, in charge of the court’s affairs. I must report anything of importance to Your Majesty. Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the third month, the birthday of the Goddess Nuwa. I request that Your Majesty visit Nuwa Temple to offer incense.”
Qin Yun is dumbfounded. I’ve become King Zhou from Investiture of the Gods?
Should he wait until the end and burn himself to death in the Star-Picking Tower? Or prepare in advance, fight against Heaven and fate, and join the Saints in plotting the world’s future?
[Ding! There is no System that lets you get something for nothing without signing in. Only planning ahead can change the future.]
And so...
When the phoenix cries at Qishan, an arrow suddenly streaks through the air and shoots down the phoenix calling above the mountain.
Yun Zhongzi comes to Chaoge with a sword to exorcise the demon. Immediately afterward, Daji reports to Nuwa Temple, enraging the Goddess Nuwa.
In front of the screen wall at Chaoge’s Directorate of Astronomy, Yun Zhongzi has just secretly written, “The royal virtue spreads throughout the western lands,” when an arrow suddenly pierces his head and pins him to the wall.
At the foot of Mount Yanshan, the infant Lei Zhenzi has barely appeared when a stray dog carries off his head and eats it.
Above Chentang Pass, Nezha fires a Heaven-Shaking Arrow at Mount Kunlun, killing the White Crane Boy with a shot to the head.
Before Sishui Pass, Mu Zha begins to sing, “Do not call these words of mine presumptuous; when I return triumphant...” Before he can finish his boastful song, an arrow shoots him from the sky.
