Chapter 1

Boom...

*Crack*

On a clear day, a bolt of lightning struck, hitting Zhang Yu, who was on the phone.

After the lightning struck, Zhang Yu instantly lost consciousness, hearing only a vague exclamation in his ears.

Indeed, being struck by lightning on a clear day is something to be amazed at.

"Ouch, my head hurts so much." Zhang Yu woke up, feeling a severe headache.

"Brother, you're awake. Being struck by lightning in broad daylight, did you do something wrong?"

"Nonsense, it must be a warning from heaven."

Zhang Yu woke up to find seven or eight people in the room, both old and young, starting to discuss the matter.

Zhang Yu noticed that they were all dressed in ancient clothing and couldn't help but sigh inwardly: as expected.

In fact, while unconscious, Zhang Yu knew he had been transported to the Three Kingdoms era.

However, like many other time travelers, he had a system with him.

"This world transformation system brought me to the Three Kingdoms. According to the system, it comes from a technologically advanced world tens of thousands of light-years away, which developed this world transformation system and used me as a test subject, bringing me to the Three Kingdoms."

Zhang Yu was speechless; being struck by lightning on a clear day and killed was indeed not something ordinary technology could achieve.

"Old sir, where am I? Why am I here?" Zhang Yu asked an elderly man in the room.

"Boy, you were struck by lightning in the mountains and fainted on the spot. Our clan members were hunting on the mountain and happened to find you, so they brought you back." The old man paused and continued, "This place is the Jiangdong region, and this is Xiang Family Village. I am the clan leader, Xiang Heng."

*Ding* Task Prompt: Successfully obtaining the Xiang Family Village's heirloom will grant a mysterious reward.

While Xiang Heng was speaking, Zhang Yu received a system prompt. This was the first system task he received after being transported, as the system had only told him he was in the Three Kingdoms without further details.

"Heirloom? What is that?" Zhang Yu was puzzled but didn't say it out loud.

"Alright, since you're awake, I'll have someone bring you some food. Rest well." Xiang Heng then called the others out, leaving Zhang Yu to rest.

Zhang Yu now had a moment to gather his thoughts.

"Hmm, my body has changed. This body is sixteen years old, a bit thin, but not bad-looking." Zhang Yu said after looking at himself in the water basin in the room.

After resting for a while, Zhang Yu accepted the reality of his time travel.

"Heirloom? There's an heirloom in Xiang Family Village, and I must obtain it. This is a task issued by the system." Zhang Yu muttered to himself and then went out to find the clan leader, Xiang Heng.

"What a mighty person." Zhang Yu walked to the center of the village, where there was a large ancestral hall. In the center of the hall was a statue of a tall, handsome, and mighty man. Although it was just a statue, Zhang Yu felt a sense of majesty and power from it.

"Little brother, are you feeling better? Why not rest more?" Xiang Heng walked up to him from behind and said.

"Thank you, clan leader. I am Zhang Yu, styled Zifan. I am grateful for your hospitality. Otherwise, I might have become a meal for wild beasts." Zhang Yu replied.

Xiang Heng stroked his beard and nodded approvingly, pleased with Zhang Yu's manners.

"By the way, clan leader, who is the man in the ancestral hall? He is so mighty and extraordinary that I felt an urge to worship him just now." Zhang Yu pointed to the statue in the hall and asked.

"Ha ha, he is the pride of our Xiang family." Xiang Heng was very happy and said to Zhang Yu, "This is Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu."

"What! Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu. No wonder." Zhang Yu was very shocked.

"Ha ha, it is indeed Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu. I didn't expect you to know about my ancestor." Xiang Heng said with great pride.

"To live as a hero, to die as a mighty spirit; even now, I think of Xiang Yu, who refused to cross the Yangtze. The name of Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu, is known throughout the world."

"Good poem, good poem. This is the highest praise for our ancestor Xiang Yu." Xiang Heng said, tears streaming down his face.

Zhang Yu was embarrassed; he hadn't expected that a poem he recited from memory would have such an effect on Xiang Heng.

"Unfortunately, it is now the Han Dynasty, and this poem cannot be widely known. But our ancestor Xiang Yu would certainly be comforted to hear it." Xiang Heng held Zhang Yu's hand and said.

After a while, Xiang Heng calmed down, wiped his tears, and said, "Is this the will of heaven?"

"Clan leader, what do you mean by the will of heaven?" Zhang Yu asked curiously.

"Being struck by lightning is the will of heaven." The clan leader said solemnly.

*Pfft*

Zhang Yu was almost driven to the point of spitting blood. If it weren't for the old man, he would have punched him. Is this how you insult someone?

Being struck by lightning is the will of heaven.

However, Xiang Heng didn't notice Zhang Yu's murderous gaze and said, "Follow me."

Zhang Yu, not knowing what was happening, followed Xiang Heng.

Xiang Heng approached the statue of Xiang Yu and lifted a long piece of cloth from the base of the statue.

Only then did Zhang Yu see a long halberd placed at the base of the statue. The halberd was entirely black and emitted a faint glow.

"Could this be?"

"That's right, this is the Overlord's Halberd, the weapon our ancestor used to conquer the world." Xiang Heng said proudly to Zhang Yu.

"Young man, lift it. If you can lift it, you will inherit the legacy of the Overlord and become the master of our Xiang family." Xiang Heng said to Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu's heart was pounding. Who doesn't know the fame of the Overlord? Obtaining his legacy could give him the chance to dominate the Three Kingdoms.

"May the gods and deities protect me." Zhang Yu clenched his fists and silently prayed. He had only an unreliable system in the Three Kingdoms, so he desperately needed to enhance his strength.

"Idiot, with this system, you don't need the gods and deities." The system's voice echoed in Zhang Yu's mind.

Zhang Yu ignored the system and gripped the Overlord's Halberd with both hands.

It felt cold to the touch, but there was a sense of blood connection, or perhaps "mental connection."

"Up."

Zhang Yu called out softly and used both hands to lift the Overlord's Halberd.

The halberd was heavy, but Zhang Yu managed to lift it.

"Good, good, very good. The Overlord's Halberd can finally see the light of day again." Xiang Heng was excited as Zhang Yu lifted the halberd.

"Xiang Heng pays homage to the lord. From now on, all 753 members of our Xiang family are your subordinates." Xiang Heng, after his excitement, immediately bowed to Zhang Yu.

"Clan leader Xiang, does the Overlord have any other legacies?" The system didn't indicate the completion of the task, and Zhang Yu didn't know how to use the Overlord's Halberd, so he felt very puzzled.

"Yes, of course. Please follow me, lord."

Xiang Heng led Zhang Yu to the back of the Xiang Yu statue. He removed a stone slab from the wall, revealing a hidden compartment with a brocade box inside.

"This box contains the Overlord's legacy, including the Overlord's Halberd technique, military strategy, and a map to the Overlord's treasure." Xiang Heng handed the brocade box to Zhang Yu and said.

*Ding* System Prompt: Congratulations, you have obtained the legacy of Xiang Family Village and received a mysterious reward.

Upon receiving the brocade box, the system prompt appeared, and Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
