Mythology Management System

"System, come out here! Didn't you say I was a person with great fortune? How come I was rejected by the sword right from the start?!" Fu Jiu questioned the system loudly in his mind, feeling angry and also a little... well, aggrieved?

He's supposed to be the reincarnation of the Human Emperor, he shouldn't be in such a terrible state, right?

"Host, don't be alarmed. This is an inherent characteristic of this sword." The system's emotionless voice rang out directly in Fu Jiu's mind.

“There was an ancient sword that was placed inside the belly of a fish and used to assassinate King Liao of Wu, thus becoming famous throughout the world. It was called the Fish Intestine Sword and was a sword of unparalleled bravery.”

"The Fish Intestine Sword, as one of the ten famous swords of ancient times, has been passed down through the ages and is regarded as the most powerful weapon in the world. After thousands of years of being passed down and nourished by fortune, the Fish Intestine Sword has undergone a transformation and become a spiritual weapon, possessing the characteristic of being able to assassinate kings, nobles and emperors."

"In his previous life, the host was the first emperor of the human race, Emperor Fuxi. Even after experiencing a reincarnation, his imperial aura was still extremely strong. It was no accident that he was attacked by the Fish Intestine Sword."

Fu Jiu was speechless. Indeed, the world is full of wonders. He never expected to encounter a spiritual weapon that could kill kings and emperors.

If an ordinary cultivator could tame it, he might even be given the title of "King Killer" in the future.

It would be a tragedy if it fell into Fu Jiu's hands. He wanted to use it, but he was the reincarnation of the Human Emperor. Would he be tempted to die if he took this sword?

Ultimately, the main issue is that this sword is just too bizarre.

"System, is there a way to tame it?" Fu Jiu asked the system in his mind.

As a prospective director of the Bureau of Myths and Gods, it's understandable that he would seek help from the system to complete his trial mission, right?

"Yes." The system's crisp and decisive answer gave Fu Jiu a glimmer of hope.

"The reason why the Fish Intestine Sword 'assassinated' its host is twofold: firstly, the host's imperial aura triggered the Fish Intestine Sword's reaction, and secondly, the host's strength was too weak."

"Even though the Fish Intestine Sword is one of the ten famous swords of ancient times, it is still somewhat inferior to the weapons in mythology. The host only needs to reach the fifth level to have a high chance of taming it."

Ha ha……

If I were strong enough to reach the fifth rank, would I still be here? I would have already crushed the Black Dragon to the ground, okay?

"Let's get down to business and stop with the nonsense."

"Host, there is actually another, simpler method," the system said quietly.

Fu Jiu raised an eyebrow: "Tell me about it."

"As the host is the prospective director of the Bureau of Mythology of the Heavens, you will naturally be blessed by the Bureau of Mythology of the Heavens. Normally, this fortune is hidden by the system to avoid affecting this world."

"If the host agrees, the system can temporarily release some of the hidden luck. Spirit weapons are far more sensitive to luck than ordinary living beings. As long as the Fish Intestine Sword senses the terrifying luck on the host, there is at least a 99% chance that it will obediently become the host's weapon."

"Luck can be used like this?" Fu Jiu was dumbfounded.

The concept of luck has existed since ancient times, but luck is invisible and intangible, and no one has ever witnessed it firsthand. People can only try to understand it through some kind of intuition.

Fu Jiu wasn't entirely clear on the purpose of luck, only knowing that many powerful individuals carried strong luck, which must be extremely beneficial.

"Host, those with great fortune usually improve their strength faster than those with weak fortune, and they also encounter more fortuitous events and secret realms. Throughout history, many immortals, gods, and emperors have possessed great fortune."

"Is that so?" Fu Jiu roughly understood what the system meant. In its description, luck seemed to be an enhanced version of "luck". People with strong luck would have better luck than ordinary people.

But he knew that the system had only told him half the story.

It is true that people with great fortune are more likely to encounter opportunities, but the prerequisite for enjoying these opportunities is to survive them.

If you want to eat bear paws, you have to kill the bear first.

Similarly, there's no such thing as a free lunch; if there is, it's definitely an illusion.

In his previous life, he had witnessed too many amazing beings, many of whom could have dominated an era, but they all died in the end.

To become a top-tier expert, one needs luck, strategy, methods, and vision—all are indispensable. The path to becoming a top-tier expert is far more difficult than imagined.

Only the strongest who survive deserve to be called the chosen ones; most of those who die are just extras.

Wei Zheng, who was standing to the side, saw Fu Jiu's expression changing from one moment to the next, sometimes with surprise and doubt, sometimes with regret, and thought that Fu Jiu had become confused with anger.

“Brother Fu Jiu, it seems this sword isn’t quite right for you. How about we get another one?” Wei Zheng’s face flushed red, wanting to laugh but feeling embarrassed.

It's not just unsuitable, this sword is practically your nemesis!

He couldn't voice his thoughts, of course. He was currently on Fu Jiu's side, and it wouldn't be fun to embarrass his partner.

Fu Jiu glanced at him and said, "Just you wait, you'll be crying later."

"System, try the method you suggested," Fu Jiu said to the system in his mind.

"Yes, host."

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but lately he felt that the system's attitude towards him had improved slightly.

"Next, the system will temporarily attach a portion of the fortune of the Bureau of Myths of the Heavens to the host. The host is advised to prepare and act quickly."

"Is it because they're afraid the leaked luck will have too much of an impact on this spacetime?" Fu Jiu pondered the hidden meaning in the system's words.

To be honest, Fu Jiu couldn't compliment the system's arrogant demeanor, which seemed to say, "Being invincible is lonely; with just a little effort, the whole world will be affected."

If the system is really that powerful, what's the point of having a host?

There must be some unknown secrets involved, but he is not yet able to find out with his current strength.

The stronger one is, the more secrets one knows—that's without a doubt.

As your strength gradually increases, all sorts of powerful individuals, hundreds or even thousands of secret realms, and countless ancient secrets will come one after another. Sometimes, you won't even need to go out of your way to find them; opportunities will simply come to you on their own.

Fu Jiu understood this deeply. If it weren't for the Third Prince of the Dragon King sending someone to his death, he wouldn't have been able to learn the secret of the Dragon Clan's Reverse Scale, let alone use this secret as a bargaining chip to cooperate with the Dragon Slaying Pavilion.

A few breaths later, an immense force of destiny broke through countless restrictions and descended upon the world.

In an instant, the entire world seemed to freeze for a moment under the influence of this fortune.

Countless powerful beings who had been slumbering in the river of time have awakened one after another, and all have turned their attention to this era.

"Power! I have seen incredible power! A new era is calling to me!" The God-King, hanging upside down on the Tree of Life, was filled with fanaticism.

"This is... a power powerful enough to break free from fate?" The god on Mount Olympus asked in astonishment.

"Interesting, truly interesting! A new world awaits our conquest. Are all my generals willing to lend me a hand?!" The emperor, standing on the expedition platform, held the Tai'a sword and spoke with a voice as loud as thunder.

These are just a few examples of many other similar phenomena...

Fate changed the moment Fu Jiu accepted the leadership of the Bureau of Myths and Gods.

This life is destined to be extraordinary!!
