Daji, who deeply loved King Zhou, used magic to summon dragon energy in a desperate attempt to see him again, even at the risk of being backfired by the Spirit Archive. Unexpectedly, the spell misfired and struck Chu Yang, an ordinary office worker burning the midnight oil. In an instant, Chu Yang was transported before King Zhou. Seeing his frail appearance, King Zhou cursed that his reincarnation was so feeble. Before Chu Yang could recover, he was teleported beside Daji and proclaimed Emperor of Great Chu. Daji was equally confused but noticed that Chu Yang carried the Spirit Archive with him. As Chu Yang conversed with Daji, he realized the archive could summon legendary figures from all dynasties. Meanwhile, he learned that returning to the modern world required him to be a tyrant dethroned. Just then, the Empress Dowager and Marquis Cheng arrived, urging him to complete the remaining city wager. Overjoyed, Chu Yang readily accepted the challenge, believing that losing the bet would easily send him back.
