I don't know how long has passed, maybe about 378 years ago?
Jiang Xiaobai woke up stiffly in a grass pit, under the influence of the Little Ice Age, the grassland outside Shun Tian was covered with white ice crystals everywhere.
In the northern January, countless refugees face an insurmountable challenge. In just a moment, Jiang Xiaobai feels the bone-chilling cold seeping into his body from his sleeves. His clothes have been replaced with tattered rags, and crows and egrets are scattered in the nearby marsh. The sky is hazy, and there is still some time before dawn.
Not far away, there were three children surrounded by three strong men and a woman. This was truly a strange combination.
Somehow, Jiang Xiaobai came to mind.
Refugees are divided into small groups, fleeing, and no one knows who will survive. It's difficult for families to stay together, and various strange small groups may exist.
But Jiang Xiaobai still feels: there must be someone among them with a problem...
Jiang Xiaobai is now immersed in the confusion of arriving in a different world. He had previously talked about wanting to reverse the tide and support the collapsing building, but now that he's really back in the past, what ability does he have? Without soldiers, power, food, or land, how can he save the situation?
Ding ding, a familiar mechanical voice suddenly rang in Jiang Xiaobai's mind: "Host detected to have successfully returned to the late Ming Dynasty. System functions include language translation, talent detection, etc. Official activation of the system requires completion of the novice task. Task issued as follows..."
Novice Task: Defeat Li Zicheng, defend Shun Tian, and rewrite the ending of Emperor Chongzhen's suicide.
Reward: Random top strategist, top domestic talent, complete set of proofs after Hongwu Emperor.
Deadline: Control Shun Tian by April 25th, repel the Rebel Emperor.
Failure: System disappears, all functions revoked, host loses all memories.
"Your system has been activated." For some reason, Jiang Xiaobai thought of this sentence, but is this system perhaps too optimistic about him?
Looking at the misty surroundings and the frost-covered ground, I estimate it's difficult to even survive, let alone save the Forbidden City when spring arrives, Emperor Ming?
One worry not dispelled, another arises. Jiang Xiaobai is filled with worries, sighing and lamenting, feeling bitter and suddenly seems to think of something. Jiang Xiaobai asks the system, "Your system is not like others, does it not have Newbie benefits?"
"Newbie benefits: Random draw once, rewards being distributed...
The probability of top-tier rewards is one in a thousand, first-tier rewards is three percent, second-tier rewards is 969 in a thousand, and third-tier rewards is ninety percent."
There's a penguin flavor, and I suddenly feel ignited, it's strange—
Hurry and take a puff, hurry and take a puff!
Jiang Xiaobai is a bit restless and feeling bored.
Ding—Detected strong willpower in the host, receiving top-tier reward Imperial Ming Dragon Qi.
A golden light flashed, and a golden card appeared out of thin air in Jiang Xiaobai's hand, with a line of small characters written on it.
Imperial Ming Dragon Qi: After use, the host gains the protection of Imperial Ming Dragon Qi, possesses the power of gods and ghosts, greatly enhances physical fitness, and is immune to all poisons. (Limited to Emperors and their descendants. If used by non-legitimate royal descendants, they will explode and die. It is closely related to the dynasty. If the dynasty is destroyed, the user will suffer from the backlash of Dragon Qi and turn to ashes.)
"Ah, I've hit it! I've been playing this game for so long, and I finally got the legendary item on my first try! It's a golden drop, a legendary rarity! I'm so lucky!"
I didn't expect the explanation that followed. Suddenly, my stomach growled twice, feeling both hungry and cold. Without the system's help, I don't think it would be possible to save the Ming Dynasty. But now, it seems like I have a starting point, and everything will get better.
I'll use the system.
I have never thought about what I would do after failing, after all, I might not survive in this chaotic world.
I would rather take a chance and fight for that glimmer of hope than to just barely survive.
The gilded card disappeared, and the surrounding time seemed to stand still as the system began to merge.
"I will save the Ming Dynasty and live for the beautiful rivers and mountains of China!"
In my heart, I secretly made a decision.
The card turned into a wisp of golden light and surged into Jiang Xiaobai's body. In an instant, Jiang Xiaobai fainted.
Even time seems to be frozen, and thoughts cannot be retained.
Losing all control of the body, it's like passing out, but the consciousness is extremely clear, perception seems to be magnified countless times, yet hazy, unable to feel anything.
Jiang Xiaobai What is unknown is that at this moment, his body is undergoing earth-shaking changes.
Blood is seeping out from the inside out, carrying with it the internal stains and grease, all floating on the surface of the body. Then the body rapidly heats up, the blood evaporates the stains, and the aura of the Golden Dragon turns into liquid, flowing into his body like water meeting a sponge. The stars in the sky also begin to resonate. The Azure Dragon in the east represents wood, the White Tiger in the west represents metal, the Vermilion Bird in the south represents fire, and the Black Tortoise in the north represents water. Combined with the human's earth attribute, the power of the stars and the imperial path of the Dragon Qi blend with each other, gradually merging into the yin and yang energies of the human body, gradually becoming calm.
Time has begun to flow again, and the first phase of integration is complete.
Jiang Xiaobai is the only one who knows that his soul is undergoing an incredible shock, like the most severe ancient torture, Jiang Xiaobai feels intense pain throughout his body. If the current level of pain is to be measured, it far exceeds the pain of childbirth at level ten.
The soul feels as if it has been torn apart, reorganized, and its sequence shattered. The only sensation that can be felt is the burning from the inside out.
After an unknown amount of time, it feels as if he has been tortured for three days and three nights. Every time Jiang Xiaobai is on the verge of collapsing and dying, Dragon Qi will nourish his soul, strengthening his will. The pain will gradually numb, but the mental impact and trauma cannot be compensated for. One thing that the system's explanation did not mention is that the mortality rate during the fusion process is extremely high.
In the midst of darkness, Jiang Xiaobai felt that his soul was weak and on the verge of death, suffering excruciating pain. Even the most miraculous medicine could not save a person whose spirit had died.
In a hazy state, as if returning to his mother's embrace, just as his soul was about to dissipate, a slightly rugged and resolute-looking old man with white hair secretly drifted over, muttering to himself, "Who dares to stir up our dynasty's Dragon Qi in this way?"
The old man saw that Jiang Xiaobai's soul was already beginning to dissipate, and he thought to himself, "There is such a fool in this world, daring to absorb the Dragon Qi of the dynasty into his body. This is a path to death..."
The person who arrived was the Hongwu Emperor. He originally thought that someone with ill intentions was destroying the Imperial Ming Dragon Qi, but unexpectedly witnessed this scene. He felt some emotions stirring within him and quietly watched as this "thief of the nation" brought about his own demise.
After some time, the Hongwu Emperor was amazed to find that the Dragon Qi within Jiang Xiaobai's body was gradually fading from its initial ferocity, becoming more gentle and beginning to merge with the person in front of him. His soul also became slightly solidified, no longer dissipating.
However, at this moment, Jiang Xiaobai's soul was already exhausted to the extreme, and his entire consciousness had reached the brink of death.
It may never wake up, but even so, the Hongwu Emperor would not allow it to encroach on the Dragon Qi. The landscape, rivers, and mountains of the Ming Dynasty are already precarious and cannot withstand any changes. The Hongwu Emperor is preparing to strike and completely disperse Jiang Xiaobai's soul to prevent it from taking away the Dragon Qi of the dynasty.
Just as the Hongwu Emperor is about to make a move, he suddenly feels a mysterious connection between the two of them...
A very faint, almost imperceptible connection.
Hongwu Emperor was a little puzzled, pinched his fingers to calculate, suddenly realized, and exclaimed, "This child is actually the descendant of Yunwen..."
Suddenly, a feeling of pity and helplessness arose in his heart. A hundred years ago, during the Jingnan Rebellion, the Jianwen lineage, or the Zhu Biao lineage, was almost completely slaughtered. He never expected that his descendant, who had fled overseas, still had offspring...
Emperor Hongwu seemed to feel some regret, a deep sense of guilt surged in his heart. He had not handled the aftermath properly during his lifetime, leading to the near extinction of the Jianwen lineage. Now that he had discovered the descendants of Yunwen, he could finally repay some of the debts owed from that time...
Hongwu Emperor The most decisive method is to separate a large amount of divine consciousness from the body and pour it into Jiang Xiaobai, solidifying the dissipating soul and making Dragon Qi more gentle. Hongwu Emperor nodded in satisfaction...
"As a member of the royal family, how can you easily change your surname? Since you have survived a great calamity, there must be Tianyou. I hereby give you a name, and you shall be called Zhu Tianyou..."
Upon hearing the news, Emperor Wu of Han rushed over. He was good friends with Emperor Hongwu and couldn't help but sigh, "Yuanzhang, Yuanzhang, by dividing your Dragon Qi, you may find it difficult to achieve enlightenment in the future!"
Emperor Hongwu had no regrets and said, "This child is extraordinary. In the future, he will definitely become a figure like Emperor Guangwu of Han in your dynasty. When my Ming Dynasty rises again, how could I suffer any loss?"
"Is that so?"
"Yes, I believe him."
Purple air comes from the east, and the sky flashes with dawn.
