My name is Ji Yan. I'm a 90-year-old City Lord, but my true identity is that of a transmigrator. I was a police Deputy Inspector General who had always done everything in my power to live a productive life that would allow me to succeed and advance in my career.
Key part is that it hasn't even been a day since I possessed this body, and I've already killed 823 people vicariously.
While I've always believed that taking lives for one's goals isn't justified, I've had what I considered to be good reasons for my actions. I had grown to believe that being hot-blooded was no longer necessary. However, in this primitive society, I feel a newfound vigor that stirs my body and makes my blood boil. I yearn to become stronger than anyone in existence, amassing all forms of wealth through any means necessary. I'm determined to use all my power to achieve this goal.
"Elder Maya, Vice Head of the Baek family, I believe you found this adventure rather interesting. Am I correct?"
"It was nothing much; they were all small fry, My lord."
[System: Status of Maya Lou: Middle stage Innate realm expert; Satisfied]
"I see"
They weren't small fry, It just happened so you are a monster.
It is rather unsettling to see her blushing while discussing the act of killing. And did she even wash her face?
Hmmm, well, on closer inspection, she did wash her face and change her clothes, but the lingering scent of blood still clings to her. What more can I expect from a Demonic cultist. I ponder a bit and offers them accommodation in the guest house of the Palace, but they politely refused, citing their urgency and not wanting to trouble me.
And because I myself was not sincere in my request I excuse myself and retreat to my room, as the aftermath of today's massacre would be managed by the Commander and the Imperial soldiers. Moreover Conversing with a group of killers reeking of blood after just having dinner is quite unsettling. No matter how many infants and pets you may have yourself killed.
Well, thinking back a bit It is quite disappointing that there were no children kidnapped in the bandit camp whom I could rescue and make them owe me a favor but all disappointment fades away after I enter my lavish room filled with beautiful paintings made by the greatest of greatest artists.
It had still been a fruitful day in terms of leveling up.
I gained a significant amount of bonus stats. Martial arts training would commence once I reached the age of puberty. Until then, my focus should just be on building a solid foundation and undergoing training.

‘Soon I will not be far from achieving whatever I want If I just progress like this, won't I?’
The system responds and I start speculating things and perhaps the system catches the expression on my face that silently conveys my eagerness for information about what remains and longs for me to conquer and butcher.
System automatically answers and from this I understood that the system is an empathetic fool.
The Tier 1 architecture is filled with countless timestreams, each containing transfinite structures - Trichiliocosms. The host is the resident of Upper realm in macrocosm 777 of Trichiliocosm - ??? inside the sacred timestream, is part of a grand tapestry entwined intricately with an immutable pattern wherein a corresponding 'you' persists within every other timestream and Trichiliocosm. > If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. The Trichiliocosm of the Step Above is infinitely larger than those found in the step below and Entities existing within the above Trichiliocosm dimensionally transcend and perceive the Trichiliocosms beneath it as mere fictional constructs. However, despite this perception, every Trichiliocosm retains an equal reality and validity.> It is accessible and perceivable only to beings who transcend every Modal realism, all possible mathematics and logic, idea, or concept, and surpass everything that encompasses and defines the Macrocosm. To Outer Plane beings, every facet appears like a book, entirely subject to their influence> 'Yeah, if you are going to tell me so much then why not also tell me How many beings inhabit this plane to discourage me?' 'So I am just one small piece in a vast and intricate cosmic puzzle.' ‘Fuck! I need to practice.’ I scream in the mind for the system to hear while internally I think how dare someone look down on me. Be courteous and Did I even ask this system to tell me all this brain rotting nonsense? 3 2 1 I sat in a meditative posture and started the Immortal destroying Breathing Technique. A technique that destroys 7 chakra acupoints and recreates them. It strengthens the body by absorbing Mortal qi from the external world to strengthen itself and proceeds to purify not only Life qi but the user's Spiritual qi. It is a technique only used by royal children who haven't reached the Martial age which comes when someone reaches puberty. It strengthens their base and purifies their qi. After a considerable amount of time perhaps passes I regain my composure only to find out what seemed like a long time and short span at the same time took all of his napping time. ‘I cultivated the entire night huh?’ I defied the natural urge to rest and instead focused on training. In this Primordial Profound world, sleep is seen as a luxury for the idle, a concept reserved for those who fail to seize the present moment for the promise of a more fulfilling slumber in the future. While in my previous life, I adhered to a routine of no less than 8 hours of sleep per night, often averaging around 10 hours, here in this world, such practices are deemed unfit for those seeking greatness. Wait, I neglected to check the rewards yesterday. Didn't I? Let's see what surprises await me today. As per my memory, My treasury has many ginsengs ranging from a century old to a millennium old and there are only three 10000-millennium-old ginsengs so it's a great reward but My body is not capable of handling such a medicine right now. Inventory is not that great of a reward seeing I already have spatial rings but it could still come to use. I should just wash up and train more. As per the memory of the original owner of this body, I need to set out for the Hatti sect Divine Tower trial. It is essentially a defense tower that embodies both martial might and the ethereal beauty of traditional architecture situated in a very Land of Iron, Taharka kingdom. Well well, it is not only a place for the Protection of the Taharka kingdom's capital Hattisha but also the best place to train young minds who are just starting their journey toward martial arts. The Tower trial tests the disciple's combat power, aptitude, comprehension, and fortitude. The more I clear it, the higher the standing in the world and the higher the reward. Well, my position is already one of the highest as I am the city lord of the Royal capital of this kingdom and share the bloodline with the sole emperor of the world. Anyway, coming back to the point It's very far away from my kingdom but thankfully it's not on the Sky continent but in the continent of the Ziran Continent. And Thankfully Ministers can take care of all my work while I'm away. If there is something that displeases me I can simply reject them after coming back. I should Issue a letter immediately to the Emperor as I'll be taking a leave soon. Now then Let's prepare for the journey and set out for the adventure.
