Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

The royal family of the Dongli Kingdom has been passed down for five hundred years. Since Emperor Gao Wu, the founding ancestor, conquered this land, successive kings have worked diligently to govern, bringing peace and prosperity to the Dongli Kingdom.

However, as the ancient saying goes, "When prosperity reaches its peak, it declines; what unites must eventually divide!"

As it happens, when the throne was passed down to the current king, a crack finally appeared in this ancient and stable kingdom. And as time went by, this crack rapidly spread and widened, placing the Dongli Kingdom on the verge of collapse.

Ultimately, the root cause of this crack lies within the current King of Dongli!

It turns out that the current King of Dongli, Li Yao, is a fatuous ruler who only knows how to indulge in pleasure. And his succession to the throne was also very dramatic.

As the youngest son of the late king, he originally had no chance to inherit the throne, after all, he had nine older brothers above him.

However, to everyone's surprise, the late old king lived for far too long, a full ninety-nine years! Under the torment of such a long time, Li Yao's eight older brothers all unfortunately died one after another. Even his ninth brother, because he was impatient, raised an army to rebel, wanting to replace his father and ascend the throne.

Unfortunately, as the old king who had controlled the dynasty for nearly a hundred years, he was like a deeply rooted giant tree, difficult to shake. So Li Yao's ninth brother was executed for his failed rebellion.

Fate played a small joke. After all the older brothers died, only the mediocre and incompetent Li Yao, who indulged in pleasure, was left.

In fact, the old king hated Li Yao the most, and reprimanded him in public many times, but there was no way around it. In the current situation, he could only make him the crown prince.

After enduring for another ten years, the old king finally passed away, and Li Yao, who was already sixty-five years old, could finally ascend the throne as he wished.

When the old king was still alive, Li Yao was always worried and afraid, so he did not dare to enjoy himself recklessly! But now that the old king was finally dead, and he himself had ascended the throne, there was no one who could restrain him anymore. Therefore, Li Yao revealed his true nature. From the day he ascended the throne, he indulged in pleasure in the palace every day, completely ignoring the affairs of the court and the suffering of the people.

Of course, although the old king was no longer alive, he still left behind some loyal ministers who dared to speak frankly and offer advice to Li Yao before his death, hoping to assist Li Yao in becoming a wise ruler.

But who would have thought that after the old king's death, Li Yao became even more arrogant and despotic. Not only did he ignore those ministers who spoke frankly and offered unpleasant advice, but he also dragged them all to the execution ground and beheaded them.

At most, Li Yao killed more than fifty ministers in one day! As a result, those ministers who dared to tell the truth were all killed, and those who remained in the court were all sycophantic villains. They feared Li Yao and were afraid of suffering the fate of being beheaded, so they did not try to dissuade Li Yao from indulging in pleasure, but instead helped him to search for beauties and various antiques and treasures from all over the world for Li Yao to enjoy!

Seduced by this, Li Yao became even more reckless, staying in the inner palace every day, frolicking and playing. And the court affairs of the Dongli Kingdom were controlled by that group of treacherous officials, causing the people of the whole country to suffer unspeakably and complain.

It can be said that the Dongli Kingdom, which has been passed down for more than five hundred years, has truly reached a critical moment of life and death.

However, Li Yao paid no attention to all of this. At this time, he was still playing a newly developed game in the palace. This game was called Beauty Chess. As the name suggests, it used beauties to replace chess pieces, playing and fighting in the huge palace.

However, Li Yao's perversion lies in the fact that he simply does not allow these beauties to wear clothes, but only distributes to them a bellyband to cover their bodies. One side wears white bellybands, acting as white chess pieces; the other side wears black bellybands, acting as black chess pieces. Apart from this, Li Yao does not allow them to wear any other clothes. And Li Yao himself sits on the dragon throne, commanding this group of graceful women to fight each other. Just imagine, dozens of scantily clad beauties being arbitrarily manipulated in the hall, what a thrilling way to play!

"Haha… Wonderful… Wonderful…"

Looking at the beautiful scenery in the hall, Li Yao could not help but feel happy and laughed wildly!

"Who goes there? How dare you trespass into the palace? Leave immediately!"

However, just as Li Yao was in high spirits, a guard's reprimand suddenly came from outside the hall.

Hearing this voice, Li Yao's refined mood was greatly diminished, which made him a little unhappy. He shouted loudly, "What's going on? Don't you know that I am enjoying myself? For ruining my mood, what should be your punishment? Hurry up and roll in here!"

After saying that, Li Yao leaned back on the dragon throne as if he was sulking.

According to the usual practice, someone should come in to report soon, so Li Yao waited here.

But today, a strange thing happened. Li Yao waited for a long time, but no one came in at all, which surprised him quite a bit. But soon, he became angry again and cursed, "Good, you ungrateful slaves, you dare to disobey my orders. Are you not putting me in your eyes? Good, let's see how I punish you!"

After saying that, Li Yao suddenly stood up from the throne, drew the long sword he carried with him, pushed aside the surrounding beauties, and rushed out.

However, just as Li Yao came to the outer hall, everything in front of him surprised him!

He found that the guards who were originally stationed outside the hall, ready to listen to his orders, had all mysteriously disappeared.

"This… What's going on?"

Li Yao felt scared, so he hurried back to the hall. But as soon as he came back, the situation in the hall shocked him again.

Seeing such a strange sight, Li Yao was immediately so frightened that he fell to the ground, hugging his head with both hands, his whole body trembling.

"Are you the king of the Dongli Kingdom? Then raise your head and look at me!" After an unknown amount of time, an extremely plain voice suddenly came from in front of Li Yao.

Startled by this voice, Li Yao suddenly raised his head and looked forward. However, upon seeing this, Li Yao seemed to have discovered something extremely terrifying, and his two eyeballs suddenly widened!
