Fantasy: After transmigrating, I effortlessly became a god.

"The first subject was poetry and prose, praising heaven and earth. After reviewing the papers by the five of us, we unanimously awarded it full marks, one hundred points."

"Yay, full marks, Zheng Qian got full marks!" Fan Tielan pulled Zheng Qian around in circles, excited and proud.

All five princes gave it a perfect score, so who would dare to say a word against it?

Mo Li was radiant with pride, and felt incredibly happy.

The men I've chosen are just different.

The candidates were equally excited. They recited poems and songs, praising heaven and earth. No candidate had ever achieved a perfect score in previous years. They were shocked before, and then doubted. Now that the five princes said they had achieved a perfect score, they no longer had any doubts.

"It seems that Zheng Qian is truly a man of exceptional talent; his perfect score is well-deserved."

"The first person to get a perfect score in 550 years, I must go and see his paper later to appreciate his talent."

"A masterful pen—perhaps that's what describes someone like Zheng Qian,"

When they saw the military strategies and tactics for securing peace and stability, the five princes were deeply attracted by their contents.

The methods of boosting morale in "Yanqi" and "Liutao" are simple and efficient.

They learned a lot.

The Thirty-Six Stratagems instantly captivated the five princes, who learned a lot from reading it once and even more from reading it twice.

The five were deeply shocked, especially the four princes, Dong Hao and Li Sheng, who were in great pain when faced with this question, but never expected Zheng Qian to write such an outstanding military treatise.

Zheng Qian is truly a monster.

The five princes exchanged glances, then walked to a corner and whispered among themselves.

Li Sheng: "The Thirty-Six Stratagems is too amazing. This military strategy can even serve as a guide for military strategists. It should be treasured by the royal family and not allowed to circulate among the people, so as not to cause trouble."

Zhu Qi: "I completely agree with Crown Prince Li Sheng's opinion. After the examination is over, we propose to close the papers. Crown Prince Lu Yan will have to give the order to collect Zheng Qian's examination paper. Only our five kingdoms can enjoy such a military strategy."

Lu Yan was deeply moved and could not calm down for a long time. He never expected that Zheng Qian could write such a powerful military treatise as "The Thirty-Six Stratagems".

At this moment, Lu Yan regretted it. He should have called Li You out to identify Zheng Qian and captured him in one fell swoop, then thrown him into prison and killed him.

Zheng Qian's test paper on military strategy made Lu Yan feel a sense of crisis.

Such a monstrous person, once he becomes an enemy, will be his nightmare.

"it is good."

Lu Yan agreed to Zhu Qi's request, but in his heart he was thinking about how to kill Zheng Qian and how to keep the "Thirty-Six Stratagems" for himself.

He didn't believe that the four of them could memorize the entire book after reading it once. He thought that as long as he had the book to himself, it would be a great achievement in front of Emperor Lu Chu.

The candidates were also puzzled and pulled Zheng Qian aside to ask, "Zheng Qian, what exactly did you write that made the five princes discuss countermeasures behind closed doors?"

Zheng Qian answered honestly, "I'm just like you, I write military strategy."

He didn't know what the five of them were discussing, but they all looked very serious.

"You really wrote a treatise on military strategy?"

"Isn't that obvious? Zheng Qian didn't write down any military strategy, so how could he possibly get full marks?"

Zheng Qian was a little embarrassed and said, "It's nothing, I just wrote a book called 'The Thirty-Six Stratagems' based on the ideas of the ancients."

The examinees gasped in shock.

"Holy crap, you actually wrote a treatise on military strategy? That's incredible."

"Military strategy? Our country doesn't have a single one. We rely entirely on the oral transmission of war experience summarized by our predecessors. How could you possibly write a military strategy?"

"No wonder it got full marks, it turns out it was written about military strategy, that's amazing."

At this point, the five princes had finished their discussion, and Dong Hao announced Zheng Qian's results.

"Dear candidates, Zheng Qian's military strategy and pacification of the country examination paper has been reviewed and scored by us, and a unified score of one hundred points has been given."

"Yay, another perfect score! Zheng Qian is the best!" Fan Tielan pulled Zheng Qian around in circles while humming a song.

"La la la, la la la..."

Mo Li stared at Zheng Qian and smiled, thinking how lucky and happy he was.

"The last question was about military strategy, and he actually got full marks. How did Zheng Qian study?"

"No matter how much he studies, he is still at a level that neither you nor I can reach. We can only look up to him in this lifetime."

"That's too strong, really too strong."

The candidates no longer suspected Zheng Qian of cheating. Even if they were given the exam papers a month in advance, they still wouldn't be able to write about military strategy and get full marks.

The five princes continued to review the papers, and Zheng Qian achieved a perfect score in his third examination, discussing strategies for governing the country and planning for the future.

The evaluation team gave the candidate 30 points, but the evaluation team insisted on giving him 100 points. They were all very curious about what he wrote.

Dong Hao, in particular, was confident of getting a perfect score in this subject because he had studied in more than fifty countries, which gave him a broad perspective and the ability to govern.

The title, "New Century, New Unit," caught the eye of the five princes.

Young people, who doesn't want to start a new chapter in their lives?

I. A Changing World and a Changing Era

Heaven and earth possess spirits, and eras cycle...

Upon watching, the five princes felt as if the Great Dao had descended upon them.

Heaven and earth have spirits, and eras cycle.

The greatest truths are the simplest; this is the essence of the eight-character mantra.

The five princes had a vision no less than that of the scholars who set the questions, because their status was extraordinary, they had access to more secrets, and they knew more.

They are all powerful nations, so they naturally know that above the Fifty Nations is the Demon Radiance Sect, above the Demon Radiance Sect is the Heavenly Vein Sect, and above the Heavenly Vein Sect are other powerful forces.

Beyond the fifty kingdoms lies the Myriad Demon Mountain, a place rife with secrets and dangers. Any powerful demon that emerges from there could easily destroy all fifty kingdoms.

When they saw the shared chapter, all four princes except Lu Yan felt a burning pain on their faces.

They were just thinking of monopolizing the "Thirty-Six Stratagems," but they didn't expect Zheng Qian to have a much broader vision, proposing the sharing economy, sharing resources, sharing education, and so on, all in order to create a new century and a new unit belonging to fifty countries.

Li Sheng's face was burning with pain, and he was also extremely angry.

Tanbude was the son of the Duke, a supporter of his ascension to the throne, a follower of his, and was recommended by him to be a scholar who set and reviewed examination questions.

Such a brilliant and insightful article, with a vision that surpasses that of fifty countries, yet you call it a pipe dream and impractical? Isn't that a slap in the face to my Scorpio nation?

The results for the first two subjects were announced by Lu Yan and Dong Hao, and the third subject, Tan Bude's controversial exam paper, was to be announced by Li Sheng.

Because Tanbude is a scholar from the Kingdom of Scorpion, and a man of Li Sheng.

Li Sheng's face was gloomy, but Tan Bude seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

"Your Highness, this article..."

"Shut up."

Li Sheng scolded, "If you weren't the son of a Duke and a follower of this Crown Prince, I would have slapped you to death."

Yu Daoren said he gave full marks, but you jumped out and said he cheated. This is not a slap in the face to Guangxiang Kingdom and Zheng Qian, but a slap in the face to Demon Scorpion Kingdom.

Taking a deep breath to calm his anger, Li Sheng announced loudly.

"After reviewing and scoring the papers by the five of us, the final score we gave was a perfect score of one hundred."

Fan Tielan jumped up, kissed Zheng Qian on the cheek, jumped up happily, and pulled Zheng Qian around in circles.

"Zheng Qian, that's fantastic! You got a perfect score again, perfect scores in all three subjects."

The candidates were also excited, looking at Zheng Qian with disbelief and deep envy.

"The first person in history to achieve perfect scores in three subjects, with five princes reviewing and grading his work—that's incredible."

"Throughout history? You underestimate the difficulty of the literary examination at the Gathering of Heroes. There has never been one since."

"How about we visit Zheng Qian tonight and become his student?"

"That's a good suggestion. Let's prepare the gift and go tonight."

Tanbude plopped down on the ground, muttering to himself.

"It's over, it's all over now."

He claimed that the evaluation team had cheated on Zheng Qian, but his own son, the crown prince, overturned his statement. He said he would become Zheng Qian's shining stepping stone, using his ignorance to support Zheng Qian's brilliant life.

Not only was his career ruined, but his reputation was also ruined.
