[Yan Ling Ji: Lu Xian, what do you think I should do?]
[Lu Xian: The fact that you're asking this means you already have an idea. I'm glad. It means my words weren't wasted.]
[Lu Xian: Since Tian Ze isn't a competent leader, why not try becoming one yourself?]
Becoming a leader?
Yan Ling Ji hesitated. She didn't think she had the ability or the skills for it. Otherwise, she wouldn't have had to pretend to be captured. She originally thought she'd be imprisoned with Tian Ze, but that wasn't the case.
[Yan Ling Ji: I know my own limits. I don't have that kind of ability.]
[Lu Xian: You're thinking too small. You need to understand something—you have a cheat!]
[Yan Ling Ji: A cheat?]
[Lu Xian: The chat group. The chat group is basically a cheat code for every one of us here!]
[Lu Xian: Just think about it. You actually have the capability. If you wanted to, you could easily become the ruler of Baiyue.]
Yan Ling Ji frowned slightly. Could that really be the case?
[Lu Xian: Are you short on food? Huo's world has more than enough to feed you all.]
[Lu Xian: Lacking advisors? Everyone in the group has your back.]
[Lu Xian: Need strong fighters? If Ye Hei and Naiqi visit your world, even top-tier martial sect masters would get beaten to death. Give Ye Hei a few more years to develop, and he could wipe out all seven warring states with his bare hands.]
[Ye Fan: Objection! I protest! I'm not that ruthless and inhuman!]
[Lu Xueqi: Shut up. It's just a metaphor. Let him finish!]
[Ye Fan: Yes, Sister Naiqi!]
[Lu Xueqi: My sword has never dulled!]
[Ye Fan: Yes, Sister Xueqi...]
[Lu Xian: Can you guys stop interrupting? Let me finish flexing, okay?]
[Lu Xueqi: Lu Xian, focus!]
[Lu Xian: …]
[Lu Xian: Yan Ling Ji, Fire Princess, to sum it up—you lack nothing. You have money, food, weapons, and even peerless generals!]
[Lu Xian: With such an OP starting position, all you have to do is raise your arm and call for followers. In your martial world, even a pig sitting on the throne could unify the lands.]
[Lu Xian: Compared to everyone else in the group, you have the worst fate—you're the only one destined to die young.]
[Lu Xian: But on the flip side, you have the easiest path. You can effortlessly dominate your world. No one else in the group has this advantage. Even becoming the first female emperor of the Warring States would be a piece of cake for you.]
[Lu Xian: A Fire Princess who doesn't aspire to be an empress isn't a true Fire Princess!]
[Yan Ling Ji: Let me process this…]
The information Lu Xian provided was overwhelming for Yan Ling Ji. She had never harbored such ambitions, let alone considered becoming the first female emperor.
[Xiao Yan: What's there to think about? If I were you, I'd already be gearing up for battle! "The heavens have perished, the Yellow Sky shall rise! The year is Jiazi, and the world shall prosper!"]
[Ye Fan: "The throne is passed around; this year, it's my turn!" With our worlds as support, we have unlimited resources. Just make some moves—fortify the city walls, stockpile grain, and bide your time. In a year at most, you won't just conquer the Seven States of China; you'll crush the Xiongnu in the north, march west to Rome, and sail across the oceans to wipe out America. The whole planet will be unified!]
[Lu Xian: Whoa, whoa, slow down. America didn't even exist back then—they were just primitive tribes.]
[Lu Xueqi: If we really do this, won't countless people die in war?]
[Ye Fan: Xueqi, even if we don't do this, countless people will still die on the battlefield.]
[Ye Fan: In modern times, we say Russia is a nation of warriors, but compared to China? There is something different. We've been fighting since the era of the Yellow Emperor, for thousands of years without pause.]
[Xiao Yan: As descendants, we know this history too well. "The empire, long divided, must unite; long united, must divide." If Fire Princess unifies the Warring States early, she could establish an eternal dynasty, putting an end to war. How many future lives would be saved? Her name would be immortalized in history!]
[Ye Fan: Damn, now I'm pumped! I want to charge into battle myself! Imagine the history books—"General Ye Fan, with a single punch, shatters city walls and obliterates armies!" Legendary!
[Xiao Yan: I'm hyped too! Even if I can't leave my name on my Earth, I'll make history in this one! If I can be granted a noble title, that'd be even better—I just wanna experience the ancient aristocrat lifestyle.]
The two jokers started getting carried away…
[Yan Ling Ji: …]
I haven't even made up my mind yet, and you two are already daydreaming?
Yan Ling Ji rolled her eyes.
[Lu Xian: Honestly, you two should forget about being grand generals or noble lords. The East and West Factories need talents like you more!]
Lu Xian jumped in and shut them down instantly.
[Lu Xueqi: What are the East and West Factories?]
Now that was a good question.
Lu Xian decided to grant her the title of "Comedy Relief Queen."
[Lu Xian: Basically, they're powerful eunuchs!]
[Lu Xueqi: …]
Lu Xian thought this would finally shut them up, but he underestimated their shamelessness.
[Xiao Yan: East and West Factories? That's genius!]
[Ye Fan: Fine, fine, I'll reluctantly take charge of the West Factory. Xiao Yan, you handle the East Factory!]
[Xiao Yan: Why should I?! The West Factory should be mine!]
[Ye Fan: You can't handle the West Factory, bro. Better let me take it.]
[Lu Xueqi: Are you two idiots? You're fighting over eunuch positions?!]
[Ye Fan: You don't get it. The West Factory is way more powerful than the East Factory.]
[Ye Fan: Anything the East Factory can't control, the West Factory can. We can kill whoever we want, answer only to the emperor. That's the West Factory's privilege!]
[Xiao Yan: Oh, you wanna play it like that?]
[Xiao Yan: Then I have one question—if the East Factory can't pay salaries, will the West Factory cover it?!]
[Ye Fan: ?]
[Lu Xian: Enough, you two idiots! In the end, it all falls under my crematorium's control!]
A brutal finisher!
Xiao Yan and Ye Fan were stunned speechless!
[Lu Xian: Yan Ling Ji, let us know whenever you're ready for help.]
[Yan Ling Ji: I've decided.]
