Through countless dynasties, I can summon the heroes of Chinese history.

Tianyuan Continent, Cangming Dynasty.

As one of the seven great dynasties of Tianyuan Continent, the strength of the Cangming Dynasty is beyond doubt; otherwise, it would not have been able to stand on Tianyuan Continent for nearly a thousand years.

This dynasty, which has lasted for nearly a thousand years, is about to face a test of life and death, and the story of this book begins from there.

…………

Laizhou, located on the eastern edge of the thirteen prefectures of the Cangming Dynasty, was the first line of defense for the imperial court to guard the frontier and resist the invasion of the Dongyi tribes.

At this moment, at the foot of the majestic mountains, a hundred miles away from Laiyang, the capital of Laizhou, a fierce battle concerning life and death is quietly unfolding.

"King Laiyang, this day next year will be your end."

A middle-aged general, clad in armor and exuding a murderous aura, looked at the figure standing atop the cart shaft and spoke.

The person standing on the carriage shaft was a boy who looked to be only eighteen years old.

His eyebrows and eyes were cold and stern, and his gaze was deep and intense.

He is none other than Jiang Ce, the eighth son of the current Cangming Emperor, Jiang Chongzhao, and the Prince of Laiyang.

Although only eighteen years old, he had already experienced the infighting in the palace. His mother died young, the cause of her death remaining a mystery. He was like a lonely ghost, barely surviving in the palace.

However, Jiang Ce was not a native, but a college student from the future Earth. As a history major, he knew about the reforms and strategies of many dynasties in history.

In order to gain his own position in the court, he used his status as a prince to win over some commoners and gradually expand his power.

From then on, the name of the Eighth Prince began to spread widely in the capital.

However, having no foothold in the court, he was abandoned by the heartless emperor simply because he insisted on promoting reforms, which threatened the fundamental interests of powerful families centered around the empress. He was exiled to the remote Laizhou by a single imperial edict.

Throughout his arduous journey, Jiang Ce has encountered sixteen waves of ambushes, and those passionate men who once followed him have all perished under the blades of assassins without knowing why.

Today, he will face the seventeenth wave of attacks.

Judging from the current situation, he is basically doomed, because he only has a dozen knights and a half-step Celestial Realm expert, Sun Hanchuan, by his side.

Looking at the few remaining soldiers around him, Jiang Ce's eyes blazed with murderous intent.

"Gentlemen, today, we are likely to meet our end together." Jiang Ce roared to the sky, then drew his sword from his waist, determined to die a glorious death.

Jiang Ce's martial arts talent, while not powerful, is certainly not weak. Two years ago, he had already reached the top-tier level, and he could definitely take a few people down with him before he died.

Just when the situation was extremely critical, a ding-dong electronic synthesized sound suddenly appeared in his mind.

[Ding dong, host is facing a life-or-death situation, the Eternal Emperor System is activated...]

"system…"

Upon hearing the word "system," Jiang Ce's previously suicidal mind was instantly filled with a desire to live.

Eighteen years.

Over the past eighteen years, he has tried countless methods, but he has never been able to make the magic touch appear before him.

In the end, he gave up altogether and decided to rely on his knowledge and social experience to create his own world in this world where strength reigns supreme.

However, reality slapped him hard in the face.

Without a powerful position, his status as a prince seemed no different from that of an ordinary person, and he couldn't even recruit a decent expert.

Sun Hanchuan, a half-step Celestial Being, only stayed by his side because he had saved his life, and the latter was willing to repay his kindness.

It was precisely because of this fate that Jiang Ce was able to successfully evade sixteen waves of assassination attempts; otherwise, he would probably have died at the hands of the enemy long ago.

Now, the money has finally arrived in the system, which means a way out has come.

[Ding dong, due to the system's long period of dormancy, the host missed the earliest opportunity for development. Therefore, the host will be compensated by inheriting the soul of one of the top 30 emperors in history, and three random summoning cards will be given. Summoning points: 500 points;]

Host, would you like to initiate a summoning now?

"Nature's Call".

Looking at the rambling system, Jiang Ce became anxious and quickly used his mind to say to the system, "Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen pigs run."

As a history major in the Blue Star world, Jiang Ce had naturally read historical novels about systems, so he had some understanding of systems and knew how to communicate with them using his thoughts.

Perhaps the system also knew that Jiang Ce was in a very dangerous situation, so it didn't say anything more, but asked Jiang Ce whether he would choose to summon using a summoning card or use summoning points.

Summoning cards rely heavily on randomness; the summoned character might be incredibly powerful, or it might be a complete noob.

Using summoning points is all about stability. As things stand, the system recommends that Jiang Ce use 150 summoning points to summon a Silver-level warrior.

It can summon generals with a strength between 100 and 104.

"Then summon it quickly!"

As the sound of hooves grew closer, Jiang Ce could even see the cavalry general's sinister smile. This terrifying sense of death sent chills down his spine, and he couldn't help but shudder.

[Alright, host, you are currently using 150 summoning points to perform a Silver Force summoning. Summoning begins...]

Perhaps because it was the first time he was summoned, the system was quite considerate in explaining to Jiang Ce that, due to the fast flow of the system space, it was actually only a blink of an eye.

[Ding dong, summoning the first character, Zhang Gongjin from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, with Command 93, Martial Prowess 100, Intelligence 89, Politics 94, and Charisma 88;]

Ding dong, summoning the second character, Shi Wengong from Water Margin, with 80 Command, 102 Strength, 79 Intelligence, 52 Politics, and 76 Charisma;

Ding dong, summoning the third character, Chang Yuchun, one of the two pillars of the Ming Dynasty, with a command 99, strength 103, intelligence 82, politics 73, and charm 85;

Ding dong, summoning the fourth character, Peng Zun from Investiture of the Gods, with stats of 82 Command, 103 Strength, 52 Intelligence, 46 Politics, and 75 Charisma;

Ding dong, summoning the fifth character, Kou Xun from the Romance of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with stats of 89 Command, 101 Strength, 80 Intelligence, 78 Politics, and 86 Charisma.

All five candidates had a martial arts strength exceeding 100. According to the system's explanation, they were all equivalent to Grandmaster level experts, and were at the same level as Grandmasters.

[Ding dong, five candidates have been provided. Please quickly remove two of them and summon from the remaining three.]

"Remove Zhang Gongjin and Kou Xun, and summon from the remaining three," Jiang Ce said without hesitation.

Sun Hanchuan possesses the strength of a half-step Celestial Being. According to the system, he is at least equivalent to a half-step Divine General. However, even such a master is unable to unleash his full strength due to his severe injuries.

It's fair to say that summoning ordinary silver-ranked generals would hardly solve the current problem.

[Ding dong, congratulations host, you have obtained...]
