Chapter 1 Mythical Summoning

"The Kingdom of Qianyue... The exiled prince, Qin Jun..."

Dressed in a white prisoner's garment, Qin Jun sat slumped in the prison cart, being pulled by two sturdy black horses. The movement of the cart caused his body to sway along with it.

At this moment, Qin Jun felt on the verge of collapse.

Damn it!

He had actually crossed over!

Qin Jun, covered in dirt, scanned his surroundings. Fifteen soldiers were escorting him, and at the moment, they were traveling through a canyon with the setting sun casting its glow. The bare mountain walls on both sides rose tens of meters high, with the ground scattered with rocks and devoid of any vegetation, creating an incredibly desolate environment.

It exuded an atmosphere reminiscent of the ancient road and the thin horses in the west wind.

"I don't want to cross over..."

Qin Jun felt like crying without tears. He had just finished work and had barely taken five steps out of the company building when something hit him on the head. The next moment, he felt dizzy and disoriented, and when he regained consciousness, he found himself in this prison cart. At the same time, memories that did not belong to him flooded his mind.

He was now inhabiting the body of the third prince with the same name in the Kingdom of Qianyue. According to the memories of this body, this was a world teeming with gods and demons, and the kingdom was just a tiny speck in the vast world.

Although born as a prince, the talent of this fellow in cultivating Qi was only average, and he couldn't compare to his siblings in the slightest.

What is cultivating Qi?

It's using the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to strengthen one's body and soul. Those who have achieved mastery can move mountains, shift stars, and perform extraordinary feats.

The owner of this body was already sixteen years old, with only a mediocre cultivation level of the second stage of Qi cultivation. He also had no political talent, and his chances of ascending to the throne were almost nonexistent. However, he had a stubborn temperament and had offended the fifth prince, Qin Yu, who had recently framed him for embezzling the national treasury. Enraged, the emperor had directly exiled him to the border to perform hard labor.

Ultimately, it was because this fellow didn't have the favor of the emperor.

"Darn it, this world is so dangerous. I want to go back!"

Qin Jun lamented. Wasn't crossing over supposed to involve being struck by lightning or hit by a car?

It's not scientific!

His career had just begun, and a beautiful female colleague had even secretly given him her heart. The peak of his life was right in front of him, and now he had crossed over!

I refuse!

Qin Jun was filled with indignation. And to make matters worse, he was about to be sent to perform hard labor immediately after crossing over. What a miserable life!

Although this world had gods and demons, he was currently only at the second stage of Qi cultivation and couldn't even defeat the soldiers around him. How could he talk about cultivating Qi to become a god?

Qin Jun was not a child; his thoughts were already mature. No matter how magical this world was, it had nothing to do with his current situation.

"Ding! Activate the Mythical System!"

"Ding! The Mythical System is beginning to bind with the host!"

"Ding! As the Mythical System is activated for the first time, the host is rewarded with one random summoning of a god or demon and one random lottery opportunity!"

Just as Qin Jun was feeling utterly hopeless, a cold voice sounded in his mind.

It startled Qin Jun, almost making him jump.

What in the world was the Mythical System?

"The Mythical System is born from the vitality of the great Dao. The host can use the Mythical System to summon a god or demon every month, and by triggering various achievements, the host can also have the chance to draw random rewards. The types of rewards are not limited to a certain category; they could be martial arts, techniques, precious materials, or artifacts, and even other types. It all depends on the host's luck!"

The mysterious voice sounded again, leaving Qin Jun dumbfounded. In his previous life, he had read countless fantastical novels and had even read novels with system elements, but he never expected that he would experience it himself.

He instinctively pinched his own face. It hurt!

It was real!

"Haha, this foolish prince is pinching himself!"

"Haha, it's hilarious. He's probably gone mad from despair."

"Poor thing, he offended the fifth prince."

"The fifth prince not only has outstanding talent but is also skilled in political schemes. He will definitely ascend to the throne in the future."

"The royal family is ruthless. They can even frame their own siblings."

The surrounding soldiers were discussing and mocking Qin Jun.

Qin Jun felt secretly angry. He quickly asked in his mind, "System, how can I summon a god or demon?"

"Ding! Now, a random god or demon will be summoned!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for summoning Daji, the nine-tailed fox!"

"Daji, from 'Investiture of the Gods'."

"Race: Nine-tailed fox!"

"Cultivation: Fifth stage of Illusionary Realm!"

"Martial arts: Celestial Fox Art, Enchanting Heart Technique."

"Innate divine ability: True Form of the Nine-tailed Fox!"

"Loyalty: 90 (maximum value 100)!"

"A special reminder: If the loyalty of the god or demon falls below 0, they will betray the host!"

Qin Jun was dumbfounded by the series of voices in his mind. What on earth was this?

Daji?

Investiture of the Gods?

Wasn't that a Chinese mythological legend?

"Where is she? You said she would be summoned, but why is there no movement?" Qin Jun anxiously asked. Could it be that he was hallucinating?

"Daji will appear soon. I remind the host that the summoned gods or demons are only simulated data from mythology. They do not have their original memories, and the system will implant memories belonging to this world in them. I hope the host won't expose them!"

Qin Jun was half-believing and half-doubting. He wouldn't completely believe it until Daji appeared.

After all, mythology was originally fabricated. Could it be real?

But when he thought about the memories of this body, he couldn't help but feel excited. This world was like a story of immortals and martial heroes, filled with monsters and demons.

Perhaps the Mythical System really existed!

"Can I summon Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Erlang Shen, the God of War, or the Buddha?"

"You can!"

"What about the Three Pure Ones?"

"You can!"

"Damn it! I'm going to dominate this world of gods and demons!"

Qin Jun suddenly became excited. If he could really summon those powerful characters from the myths, he could easily conquer the Qianyue Kingdom and even the entire world in minutes!

"It depends on the host's luck. There are too many characters in the myths. The host may never be able to summon the character he wants, even until death!" the system couldn't help but pour cold water on the idea. However, Qin Jun paid no attention to it. He joked that even the extremely low probability events hit by the myth system had been encountered by him. Did he still need to talk about luck?

He must be bursting with luck!

Qin Jun was so excited that he trembled all over, and the iron chains on his hands and feet shook, making a clinking sound.

At that moment, the soldiers suddenly stopped, and the prison car also came to a halt, causing Qin Jun to look up in confusion.

The soldiers were all trained guards from the palace, each with a cultivation level of the fifth layer of Qi Refinement. Any one of them could easily beat Qin Jun to the ground, and their perception abilities far surpassed his.

It was evident that the Fifth Prince, Qin Yu, had sinister intentions. With this group of guards escorting Qin Jun, he had no chance to escape.

"Giggle—"

At that moment, a chilling and delicate laughter rang out, startling everyone.

A figure in white descended like a celestial being, her white clothes fluttering in the wind. She had a graceful figure, and her black hair flowed like willow catkins, revealing a stunningly beautiful face with a smile.

A calamity to the country and the people!

It was Su Daji!
