Chapter 1

Chapter 1 Did I Make My Royal Father Die of Anger?

Summer Clark stared blankly at the scene before him.

He had just sat up from bed, his head splitting with pain, only to see that his room was packed wall to wall with people.

At the very front stood an energetic old man with graying hair, glaring at him with a face full of anger.

Summer Clark looked toward the old man’s side, where a female general in black and red armor, with flowing red hair and striking features, was silently watching him.

But he quickly realized the gravity of the situation.

This female general was holding a sword in her hand.

Judging by her demeanor, there was a high chance that the sword was not just for show.

“Your Highness! You’re awake?”

The old man looked at Summer Clark, his tone full of regret, as if Summer Clark shouldn’t have woken up.

“Where is this place?” Summer Clark shook his aching head, asking in confusion.

As soon as he finished speaking, it was as if a strange, clear spring flowed into his mind, washing away the pain, and a flood of memories surfaced in his heart.

I am the crown prince Summer Clark of the Taicang Kingdom?

I distinctly remember being in my office, carefully thinking through the company’s bidding project for the next day, reviewing all the company’s strengths and weaknesses.

Suddenly, the ground shook, cracks instantly spread across the walls, then the world spun, and when I woke up again, I was here...

Transmigrated!!!?

As his memories slowly returned, Summer Clark finally recalled the cause and effect of everything. He really had transmigrated, into a country called Taicang, and had become its crown prince.

Crown prince?

Summer Clark felt a bit confused, but then another fragment of memory quietly arrived, and scene after scene flashed through his mind.

————

This was not the Earth Summer Clark knew. This was a terrifying, savage world.

Countless races, countless nations, all struggling to survive in this boundless land, and the human race happened to be one of the weakest among them.

So, countless human kingdoms survived cautiously under the rule of other races, struggling to live in the cracks.

The Taicang Kingdom, where Summer Clark was, was one of these small human nations.

To the south was the Jiouquan Kingdom, to the west the Zhouqing Kingdom, and to the north the raging Fuchong River, where countless monsters waited for a human snack to get stuck in their teeth.

As for the east? The east was even more terrifying—a colossal mountain called the Great Emperor slept to the east of Taicang.

This giant mountain, for some unknown reason, gradually developed consciousness. According to the long history of Taicang, six hundred years ago, the Ant Chief Clan’s kingdom that lived here was destroyed under the Great Emperor.

Did the Ant Chief Clan anger the Great Emperor?

No, the Great Emperor had been asleep for many years. The reason the Ant Chief Clan lost their kingdom and their race was because, while sleeping, the Great Emperor rolled over! He flattened the entire Ant Chief Clan’s kingdom!

Summer Clark stared in shock at the contents of this memory fragment. As someone who had received over twenty years of materialist education on Earth, the impact of these memories was overwhelming.

Aren’t humans supposed to be the most intelligent of all creatures? How did they become the weakest race in this world?

How could a mountain develop consciousness? How could it sleep? Fine, let it sleep, but why would it need to roll over? You’re a mountain...

“Your Highness, have you lost your memory?”

Summer Clark was lost in thought when a pleasant voice interrupted his wild imaginings. Following the voice, Summer Clark saw that it was the female general in black and red armor.

At the same time, more memories began to resurface in his mind.

This female general was none other than the great general Grace Harper of the Taicang Kingdom.

Grace Harper was practically a legend in Taicang. She had grown up in the kingdom, and at fifteen, resolutely joined the army. In just nine years, she was promoted by the king to the rank of great general.

No one objected, because in countless battles against Jiouquan and Zhouqing, Grace Harper had repeatedly taken on critical missions and achieved great feats.

If not for last month’s terrifying meteor disaster, Taicang’s military might, even if not enough to go to all-out war with Jiouquan and Zhouqing, could at least hold its own against them.

This was, to a large extent, thanks to Grace Harper.

On top of that, she was the youngest Nine Heavens expert in Taicang.

At twenty-four, she had reached the Ninth Heaven!

Such talent was extremely rare among humans.

And now, this legendary female general was holding a sword, looking at Summer Clark on the bed, her eyes carrying an unreadable expression.

Summer Clark was completely baffled by the current situation, but his previous life’s temperament helped him stay calm. He lowered his head, carefully assessing the situation.

At the same time, he spoke: “I am fine now. Ministers, generals...”

“Your Highness, the interrogator was a bit weak just now. Now that you’re awake, let’s continue our previous discussion.”

Summer Clark fell silent. The spring of memories in his mind had not yet been fully absorbed, and another general’s words made him sink into thought.

“Your Highness, even if you really have gone mad today, you must hand over the Taicang Kingdom’s command seal!”
