Chapter 1: The System Becomes a Slave
"Wasn't I being ambushed? Where is this? Did I transmigrate?"
Xiao Tian sat on the base of the summoning array, looking around in a daze.
A clear, cold voice suddenly came from ahead, making him involuntarily look, and he was startled.
Beautiful!
The woman before him had fair skin and a beautiful face, her features sculpted like jade, and her red lips were lustrous, truly a peerless beauty.
Proud!
The woman stood there, her posture tall and straight, her aura cold and proud, like an unapproachable snow-capped peak.
As Xiao Tian sized up the woman, she was also sizing him up.
"No cultivation whatsoever, just an ordinary person?"
"That's fine, saves a lot of trouble."
Her words left Xiao Tian completely bewildered. "Who are you? Where am I?"
"I am the Empress of the Great Yan Dynasty. From today onwards, you will be a Prince of the Great Yan Dynasty..." the woman spoke calmly, announcing to Xiao Tian.
"My husband!"
Xiao Tian: "???"
Soon, Xiao Tian's confusion was resolved.
This woman, named Zi Ruoyan, was indeed the Empress of the Great Yan Dynasty.
Undercurrents surged within the court, urging the Empress to marry.
Zi Ruoyan did not wish to be manipulated by these ministers, and used a Summoning Talisman she had accidentally obtained.
Through a twist of fate, Xiao Tian transmigrated into this world.
Xiao Tian naturally became Zi Ruoyan's shield, becoming the undisputed leader of the Great Yan Dynasty's gigolo scene.
Zi Ruoyan was indeed worthy of being an Empress, decisive and efficient.
Within two hours, the ceremonies were simplified, and the wedding procedures were completed with lightning speed. Those ministers didn't even have a chance to object.
"As for the duties of husband and wife, I cannot fulfill them with you, but I can guarantee you a life of comfort and security, free from worries about wealth and prosperity."
"The Slave Ring from the Summoning Talisman, I will find a way to resolve it for you."
After speaking, the Empress, who had just married and hadn't even changed out of her wedding dress, left Xiao Tian and went to the Imperial Study to handle state affairs.
Leaving Xiao Tian alone in the temporarily converted Prince's Palace, utterly bewildered.
"She's really... a strong woman," Xiao Tian raised an eyebrow and pulled up his sleeve.
On his arm, there was indeed a glowing ring.
The Slave Ring. Anyone summoned by a Summoning Talisman possessed this.
With this Slave Ring, Xiao Tian could not do anything to harm Zi Ruoyan.
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly appeared in Xiao Tian's mind.
[Activate Strongest Supreme System? Please choose...]
[Yes/No]
"Transmigration plus a System, I actually encountered it?" Xiao Tian froze on the spot. In his usual downtime, he enjoyed reading novels to de-stress.
The protagonist is actually me?
Xiao Tian didn't hesitate, and chose...
[No!]
Before transmigrating, he was an orphan adopted by an assassin organization. To survive, he constantly grew stronger.
Constantly completing missions and engaging in fearless slaughter.
The path of a Supreme Expert?
Xiao Tian was tired. He truly didn't want to fight and kill anymore.
Now Heaven had given him a chance to be a carefree Prince with no worries about food or clothing.
The path to being the Strongest Supreme?
Not even a dog would take it!
[Target subject chose to give up. Erasing target's memory, preparing to detach, searching for a new target.]
[Erase failed, attempting to erase memory again.]
[Erase failed, System detaching from target's body.]
[Detachment failed...]
[Attempting to bind with target...]
[Binding failed, adjusting permissions, performing host binding.]
[...]
[Binding failed, adjusting permissions, performing master-recognition binding...]
[Master-recognition failed!]
[Warning! Warning!]
[The other party is a super high-dimensional Earth plane creature!!]
[Adjusting permissions, activating slave parasitic mode...]
[Activation failed, retrying.]
[Activation failed, 3rd attempt.]
Xiao Tian was utterly dumbfounded. What the hell was going on?
The style of System he encountered was somehow different.
He watched with his own eyes as System interfaces kept popping up before him, failing frantically.
The reason was that this System wanted to be his slave, but couldn't?
[Activation failed, 9999th attempt.]
[Activation failed. Respected Adult, may I become your auxiliary System, with permissions set to master-slave mode?]
It was too humble. Xiao Tian felt this wasn't a System, but his own simp.
He was also curious. "If I don't agree, what will you do?"
[Adult is a super high-dimensional being, and possesses a top-tier bloodline. If you do not agree, I will be erased by your immune system.]
Σ(⊙▽⊙"a!!!
Xiao Tian was shocked. Was he really that powerful?
Under a strange impulse, Xiao Tian's mind stirred.
[Activation successful. Greetings, respected Master, thank you for your forgiveness.]
[May I request that you bestow a name upon me?]
"Hmm..." Facing a System that acted like a simp, Xiao Tian subconsciously blurted out, "How about I just call you Wangcai?"
After speaking, Xiao Tian felt a bit of regret.
It was a System after all. Shouldn't he show some respect?
[...]
[A very pleasant name. I like it very much, respected Master.]
"Cough, cough!" Xiao Tian lightly coughed twice. The System's reaction interrupted his train of thought. "You... if you like it, that's good."
[Respected Master, your subordinate reminds you, please learn to control your aura as soon as possible, otherwise it will cause unnecessary consequences.]
[If you cannot control it, you might inadvertently erase my existence.]
[Furthermore, it endangers other lives. Please look to your right.]
Xiao Tian turned his head in response, his pupils slightly contracted.
In the garden over there, the tree closest to him was actually collapsing?
"Aura?" Xiao Tian exhaled lightly and focused his mind.
Back when he was in the assassin organization, he was the ace of aces. The reason was his extraordinary talent.
In modern society, he was actually able to cultivate into a Martial Grandmaster who practiced both internal and external arts.
Sure enough, after adjusting his aura, Xiao Tian found that the tree stopped collapsing.
"I seem to have become stronger?" Xiao Tian looked at his hands. He was very clear about his own strength.
From Empress Zi Ruoyan, he had roughly learned that this was a world with an explosive power level.
People here refine Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. The strong can fly through the sky and burrow into the earth, shatter mountains and rivers with a palm, and even shatter the void with ease.
On Earth, he was a top-tier expert, a Martial Grandmaster who practiced both internal and external arts. Here, at best, he was just an ordinary person with some combat skills.
"Wangcai!" Xiao Tian called out softly in his mind.
[Respected Master, I am here.]
"What's my situation now? Am I weak or strong?" Xiao Tian looked at the tree that had half-collapsed, frowning.
[Respected Master, you come from a super high-dimensional plane. The Heavenly Dao Laws are strict, and you are constantly enduring the Law Suppression.]
[According to your subordinate's investigation, you have long endured, in a super high dimension, the suppression of 490,000 Dao Laws.]
[Under such strict Law Suppression, Master was still able to break through limits and enhance physical strength.]
[Now that you have come to this low-dimensional plane, without so much Law Suppression, your body is eagerly absorbing the power between heaven and earth to strengthen itself.]
[Your strength is unrelated to this world's cultivation realms. Your strength lies in yourself.]
The System's explanation made Xiao Tian completely understand.
He was like someone who had moved from a high-gravity planet to a low-gravity planet. The number of laws was equivalent to the amount of gravity.
Just like before transmigration, the Kryptonians in Superman, who came to Earth and absorbed solar radiation, became increasingly powerful.
He, coming from Earth to this otherworld, was also constantly absorbing the power of this world to strengthen himself.
"Earth's law pressure is 490,000, so what's this world's law pressure?" Xiao Tian asked, casually picking up the teacup beside him.
[Respected Master, this world's Law Suppression is 3000.]
"Pfft!"
Xiao Tian spat out a mouthful of tea. The splashing droplets were like machine gun fire, piercing through the wall in front of him, creating a honeycomb of holes.
