Warlords: Rise of the System

The war finally came to an end, and the battlefield, once filled with thick smoke and the pungent smell of gunpowder, has now returned to peace.

However, this sudden silence made Lu Tianhao feel a little uncomfortable.

Since traveling to this parallel world, he seemed to be caught in a never-ending storm.

Day after day, they are either on the front lines of fierce fighting or rushing to the battlefield.

This kind of tense and exciting life, on the brink of life and death, gradually became the norm in his life.

But at this moment, when the flames of war died down and the light of peace quietly descended, Lu Tianhao suddenly found himself in a state of confusion.

The state of being on edge and dealing with crisis-ridden situations disappeared in an instant, replaced by a strange and empty peace.

At this time, Wang Hui and other generals were busy discussing the appointment of the commander-in-chief and the specific matters of founding the country.

They had a heated discussion, and everyone had beautiful visions and expectations for the future development of the country.

But Lu Tianhao, a modern man from the 21st century, has no interest in this at all.

Deep down, he had no interest in being a commander-in-chief.

In his view, power and status are not the ultimate goals of life.

In contrast, he longed to live a free and carefree life in peacetime.

Lu Tianhao thought carefully about the important people around him.

He has already properly planned and arranged the lives and futures of each of his brothers, sisters, and relatives.

Not only that, there are also the millions of soldiers of the National Salvation Army and all the generals who hold important positions today.

Without exception, they have all undergone rigorous and professional training in the training cabin.

All of this makes them loyal to Lu Tianhao, and it can be said that their loyalty reaches 100%.

Even if Lu Tianhao suddenly disappeared from the world one day.

He also firmly believed that his brothers, sisters, relatives and friends would be well taken care of by the National Salvation Army and its senior leaders.

It was for this reason that a thought flashed through Lu Tianhao's mind like lightning.

He decided to resign from his prestigious position as the commander-in-chief of the National Salvation Army and embark on a journey around the world full of unknowns and surprises.

After all, for Lu Tianhao, who possesses a mysterious system, he is almost invincible in this vast world.

No matter which country he faces as a challenge, he can still rely on his own strength.

It would also be entirely possible to plunge that country into chaos.

And after all the upheavals, they were able to escape unscathed and smoothly.

It is precisely because of this powerful strength that is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Lu Tianhao was increasingly eager to break free from the cumbersome and heavy constraints of government affairs and did not want to be trapped in endless busyness all day long.

He longs to travel freely around the world, experience the customs and cultures of different regions, and explore the wonderful stories hidden behind the ordinary.

After Lu Tianhao revealed the shocking idea deep in his heart to Wang Hui and many generals without reservation.

Just like a stone that stirs up a thousand ripples, it instantly caused an uproar and everyone expressed strong opposition.

Wang Hui and a group of generals all looked solemn, and earnestly explained to Lu Tianhao the sufficient reasons why they held an opposing attitude.

They believed that even if Lu Tianhao chose to resign midway after taking up this position, that would be absolutely impossible!

You know, this Tianlong Kingdom was successfully established by him personally leading the National Salvation Army in bloody battles and going through untold hardships!

Now, looking at the entire country, if we talk about who is qualified to take on the important task of commander-in-chief, I am afraid there is no second choice except Lu Tianhao.

If anyone else were to take up this position, the common people across the country would certainly not be convinced and would never agree to it.

Therefore, the position of the first commander-in-chief must belong to Lu Tianhao no matter what!

It is precisely because of these reasons that Wang Hui and the other generals rejected Lu Tianhao's resignation request with an extremely firm attitude.

And tried his best to retain him to continue as commander-in-chief.

Lu Tianhao knew very well that he did not want to be tied tightly to the busy and trivial government affairs.

So, when this arrangement was put before him, he stood up without hesitation to express his opposition and started an extremely fierce debate with everyone.

The argument lasted for a long time, with both sides holding on to their own opinions and neither side giving in.

Finally, after a long battle of words and in-depth discussions, Wang Hui and a group of generals came up with a relatively compromising solution.

They believed that given the needs of the current situation, Lu Tianhao must take on the crucial position of commander-in-chief.

However, considering his own concerns about cumbersome government affairs, everyone unanimously decided to allow a certain degree of flexibility.

Specifically, although Lu Tianhao holds the title of commander-in-chief, he actually only needs to show up on some key and important occasions.

As for the rest of the daily government affairs, they can be reasonably assigned to other appropriate officials to handle.

Hearing this plan, Lu Tianhao couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

He carefully weighed the pros and cons and thought over every detail.

After a long while, he finally nodded, indicating that he accepted the proposal.

After all, doing so would both meet the needs of the situation and take his personal wishes into account to the greatest extent possible.

It happened to be the critical moment when Lu Tianhao officially took office, assumed the position of commander-in-chief and announced the establishment of the new country.

A clear and familiar system prompt sound suddenly rang in his mind.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host, you have successfully completed the unification of the country and completely expelled those powerful countries that were eyeing you covetously.

Now, the system begins to upgrade, 1%, 2%, 3%..."

Lu Tianhao couldn't help but look surprised when he heard the voice, and thought to himself.

"The war has clearly ended, why would the system choose to upgrade at this time?

Could it be that there are more unknown wars hidden behind waiting for me to face?"

Thinking of this, his eyes became deeper, as if he was trying to see through the uncertain road ahead through the scene before him.

Lu Tianhao thought about it and realized that in today's world, there was no country that could be his opponent.

Even for systems that have not yet been upgraded.

The advanced weapons and equipment and cutting-edge technologies in various fields it possesses have long left the world we live in far behind.

These amazing technological achievements span from microscopic particles to the macroscopic universe.

From biological genes to artificial intelligence and many other aspects, each one is enough to trigger a global change.

However, in such a seemingly invincible state, the system suddenly chose to upgrade at this time.

What is the reason for this?

Is it because the existing functions can no longer meet the growing needs?

Or is there some unknown huge crisis hidden behind it, forcing the system to respond through upgrading?

Or is there a higher-level being controlling all of this, guiding the system to develop in a certain direction?

Countless questions came to Lu Tianhao's mind, making him curious and expectant about this system upgrade.

"Ding! System upgrade completed!" A clear and loud reminder sound suddenly rang deep in Lu Tianhao's mind.

Time seemed to stand still, and every second seemed extremely long.

About ten minutes later, the familiar system voice finally came again.

Lu Tianhao couldn't wait to concentrate and asked anxiously in his heart.

"System, what magical new features have been added after this upgrade? Tell me about it quickly!" He was looking forward to getting a surprising answer from the system.

The voice of the system slowly flowed through Lu Tianhao's consciousness.

“After the successful system upgrade, a new crossing function was added.

Now you have two options.

For one, you can get back into the world you came from.

But it should be noted that your physical body in the original world has been completely destroyed.

Therefore, he can only possess the body of a person who has just passed away through soul traveling.

Moreover, this possession is completely random, but the good news is that the age of the possessed person will be strictly controlled under thirty years old.

The second is to allow your soul to travel to a more advanced civilized world.

As for what this so-called advanced civilization world looks like, it is hard to say.

It could be a world of highly developed scientific and technological civilization, filled with unimaginably advanced technologies and innovative inventions.

Or maybe it would be a mysterious and fantasy world of cultivating immortals, where people could improve their strength and realm by practicing magic.

Host, are you planning to start this unknown journey?"

A conflicted look appeared on Lu Tianhao's face. How should he choose?
