A male voice which contains power and authority can be heard speaking after Shang rolls open the Chinese hand-scroll.

“Greetings, I am the Emperor of this Great Continent Tianyuan, Luo Ze-shi. I hereby extend an invitation to all famous martial artists, immortals, and demons to witness the ceremony for my next successor. It will be held in the main hall of the Forbidden Palace on the Snake Hour, Day of Fire, Dragon Month and the Sixth Tiger Year.”

The voice message ended, leaving only the heavily red-inked print of the Imperial Seal on the middle of the scroll.

Shang’s thoughts I believe this scroll is the invitation card to the Forbidden Palace as I do not think I can just enter the home of a ruler without any item to declare my identity as an invited guest.

Shang waves his hand over the scroll and it disappears into his storage.

Shang’s thoughts This year is the sixth tiger year and a few months later, it will be the dragon month. The question is whether I should go or not.

It is common in Shang’s world that famous martial artists are invited to witness such ceremonies so the new head can have the chance to be famous and know each famous martial person.

There is a probability that the ceremony is just a show for and the people who are invited will be murdered during the ceremony.

One such example would be the head succession ceremony of Sword Sect (Jian Zong) in Feng Yun (Wind and Cloud) Universe. To prevent the news of his son, Po-jun’s succession failure from leaking out, the leader of the Sword Sect, Jian Hui sealed both himself and the twelve martial witnesses in ice. This results in creating chaos in the martial world as the twelve martial witnesses who are the ones that maintain the order are now gone.

Shang’s thoughts This decision can be put on hold for now. About the sovereign energy…

Shang receives a warning from the system about it when he attempts to use it.

System Warning! The user does not fulfill the condition for using sovereign energy!

System Sovereign energy will be unavailable until the user has completed the condition.

Shang’s thoughts Conditions What conditions

Shang requests for more details from the system and it comes up with an answer.

System User must become a sovereign.

Shang’s thoughts Become a sovereign ….Wait, are you telling me to become a king!

There are worlds which Shang can become king. One of them would be The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim and the only condition Shang needs is to be the Dragonborn.

Shang’s thoughts: However, speaking of becoming king… Which path should I take

Shang Of the People, by the People, for the People, SABER!

Shang’s thoughts My mistake, it should be EAGLE. I keep mixing up Type-Moon quotes with Epic Rap Battles of History lyrics.

Shang: Or should I go down the path as a tyrant?

Shang starts to recall another quote.

Shang Kill your enemies, your allies, your country, your people and yourself. No matter how much you kill, it will never be enough….. Sounds like Alucard’s path. Then all I need is to become a vampire.

Shang Hmm... Looks like I have many choices to choose…

Shang then takes out a World Ticket.

Shang: I think I have a better choice. Why not you choose for me?

Shang smiles at the ticket.
