Chang 'an Fortress, Tang Empire.
In the throne room, Li Shimin sat on the dragon throne, accompanied by the civil and military officials.
"The new top scorer is coming to the palace!"
The assistant minister shouted, his sharp voice filled with endless joy.
The Third Prince Li Ke sat in his seat with a smile on his face. His gaze would occasionally size up the beautiful palace maids around him.
Five days ago, Li Ke found out that he had transmigrated to the Tang Dynasty. He quickly accepted this fact. Anyway, since he was here, he should take it as it was.
To be able to come to the Tang Dynasty and become a prince was something that many people dreamed of.
As long as he didn't waste his energy fighting for the throne, he would be the biggest silkpants in the world. He would be happy to pick up girls and drink wine.
……
Soon, the new top scorer arrived in front of the hall.
"Chen Guangrui greets Your Majesty!”
The new top scorer went to the palace to pay his respects. His face was as white as jade, his eyes were as bright as stars, his white teeth and red lips, his sword-like eyebrows, and his delicate nose. He really had good skin.
Li Shimin nodded his head when he saw this. This person was both talented and beautiful.
Li Ke looked at the people in front of the hall and couldn't help but feel envious. His looks were not bad and could definitely be compared to the celebrity idols in his previous life. However, compared to Chen Guangrui, he was really lacking.
"But this Chen Guangrui…sounds familiar?”Li Ke thought to himself.
"F * ck!"
Li Ke was suddenly shocked. Like a rabbit whose fur had exploded, his expression was excited. The surrounding people looked over in surprise.
How could Li Ke still care about their gazes? This time, he was extremely shocked in his heart.
"Chen Guangrui, isn't that…isn't that Tang Sanzang's father?”
"Tang Empire, Li Shimin, Chen Guangrui…Damn, this seems to be the standard for Journey to the West!”
Li Ke was truly panicking now. Although he was conceited and could settle down in the Great Tang even if he did not compete for the Dragon Throne, the Great Tang was vastly different from what he had imagined. Gods and Buddhas ruled, demons ran amok, and a mere mortal country was no different from an ant in the mortal world.
It was just that he didn't know what kind of story this Journey to the West was. If it was written by Grand Elder Wu, it would be fine, but if it was the Six Sages who swept through the sky and suppressed the world, it would really be eight generations of bad luck.
In his previous life, Li Ke had read many books about the Primordial Sect, the God-Sealing Sect, and the Westward Journey Sect, so he knew these things very well.
What 81 difficulties? Those were all deliberately arranged. The other things that killed people without bloodshed were too much.
The three demons of Lion Camel Ridge could swallow an entire city with a single lion's mouth. Would he care if you were a prince of the Great Tang? He swallowed them all and they became food in his mouth and stomach.
Not to mention other powerful cultivators. Their destructive divine powers could instantly kill hundreds of millions of mortals.
The status of a small prince was really not enough.
"No, if this continues, I'm afraid I can't hide anymore. In the world of the West, demons are everywhere, and immortals are inferior to dogs. I'm a prince, I'm afraid I can't be safe!”
"Ding! Host's emotional fluctuations have been detected. World fusion completed. System loading successful. The following options are now available.”
" Option 1: Help Chen Guangrui and ask His Majesty for a marriage. Mission completed: Reward: 1 Ginseng Fruit!"
" Option 2: Ignore him and continue to be a salted fish king. Mission completed: You're rewarded with a superior-grade Connate spirit-treasure."
"Option 3: Lead Chen Guangrui astray and end Journey to the West. Reward: Supreme Treasure Chest."
When Li Ke heard the system notification, he was instantly overjoyed. This was the standard for transmigrators!
With the golden finger activated, his chances of survival instantly increased greatly.
However, the choice in front of him was full of mysteries, so Li Ke did not dare to treat it casually. He immediately checked it carefully.
Firstly, the first choice was a Ginseng Fruit, which was the treasure of the ancestor of the Earthly Immortals, Zhen Yuanzi, from the Fifth Manor of Longevity Mountain.
It was rumored that as long as a mortal smelled this Ginseng Fruit, they could increase their lifespan by 360 years. Eating one would allow one to live for 47,000 years.
If this was the Great Tang of normal history, Li Ke would not mind choosing the first option.
After all, there was no danger in helping Chen Guangrui. It was equivalent to taking a ginseng fruit for nothing.
However, this was the world of the West where demons ran amok. If you could live for so long, you would have been targeted by those demons and ghosts!
Perhaps some mountain spirits and wild monsters would have long captured Li Ke as some rare thing and cooked him to eat!
Therefore, Li Ke first ruled out the first option. Then, he looked at the second option.
The world of the Journey to the West seemed to be spreading Buddhism to the east and persuading people to be good, but in fact, it was the Buddhist Sect enslaving the human race and turning them into the source of their incense and faith!
Li Ke was familiar with some mythological books such as the Wilderness, the Gods, and the Journey to the West, so he was very familiar with the Dao.
During the prehistoric times, the Human Tribe dominated the world and was called the Human Sovereign.
However, after the Apotheosis Tribulation, the human emperors called themselves the Son of Heaven!
In an instant, he had changed from a Renhuang to someone else's son. This was a fundamental difference!
Now, the Buddhist Sect was even more overboard. They even wanted to turn humans into their believers and Buddhist slaves to provide an endless stream of faith power for the Buddhist Sect.
In Li Ke's eyes, this Journey to the West was full of schemes and traps!
Putting everything else aside, Chen Guangrui and Yin Wenjiao's marriage seemed to be a match made in heaven. However, Chen Guangrui would be beaten to death by a puny boatman on her way to her position!
Just imagine, a new top scholar, the daughter of the current prime minister, such a powerful identity, would actually be assassinated by an ordinary boatman?
If there was nothing fishy about this, no one would believe it.
However, Li Ke did not choose the second option either. A superior-grade Connate Numinous treasure was indeed enough for Li Ke to take the risk.
However, the most important problem was that he, Li Ke, was not a cultivator. He did not have a trace of Dharmic powers. Why would he need a superior-grade Primordial Numinous treasure?
If he couldn't activate it or refine it, would it look good?
If the demons, ghosts, immortals, and gods in the world of the West knew that Li Ke had a superior-grade primordial spirit treasure, he would probably die even if he wanted to.
Therefore, Li Ke finally set his sights on the last treasure chest. He could only take a gamble!
"It seems like there are three choices, but in reality, there are traps everywhere. There is only one choice!”
Li Ke smiled coldly. He already had an answer in his heart.
Stopping the Journey to the West and choosing the third option would directly offend the two sages of the West and countless supreme experts of the Buddhist Sect.
He was afraid that in the future, he, Li Ke, would no longer have a place to stay in this world!
However, if he paid such a huge price and suffered such a huge sacrifice, then the rewards would definitely be unexpected.
The price paid and the reward paid were often proportional. Although Li Ke did not know what was inside the Supreme Treasure Chest mentioned in the last option, he was already looking forward to it.
"I choose three!"
