When the beautiful maid addressed him as "Your Majesty," Qin Yi felt joy, a delightful sense of happiness.

"This time sacrificing myself to save others was not in vain! If I get another chance, I will become a king, establish a grand harem, and wield absolute power, becoming the most reckless tyrant!"

The fading soul was in the process of merging with him and he grasped the current situation somewhat.

"Oh wait, I died? But those are not my thoughts?!"

Suddenly he realised that he was getting isekaid in a weak body that belongs to an absurd world, the only thought he had in his mind was.

"I want to return to Earth"

—------------------------

This is a magical realm, with countless constellations in the universe, ancestral gods, and saints traversing the sky. Despite the formidable imaginative beings he had known from his past, they all had to bow down and hide to survive in this vast expanse of stars.

Because here, the most powerful group is the kings!

They can freely traverse the countless dimensions, select their own subjects, and establish the mightiest kingdoms. Imagine, in the infinite dimensions, every conceivable powerful being exists, and the kings who rule over them naturally possess tremendous power. Such power is feared even by gods and saints.

And Qin Yi is one such king.

However, he soon discovered that he is the lowest-tier existence among them. Forget trampling on saints; he can't even sustain his own kingdom.

"The land area under my reign spans ten thousand square kilometres, with sixty million civilians residing there. Resources, civilization, wealth—all shrinking and collapsing by every passing day."

"A month ago, this brat used the king's power, crossed the interdimensional gate, and on the first day in the other world, got severely injured. He remained in this state until his death today, which worked out well for me."

"What's even more frightening is that his kingdom is about to shatter, in just one month!. Time is running out, just one month!"

"At the moment of shattering, everything within the territory will turn into dust.."

As Qin Yi rapidly integrated with the soul in his mind, his mood became increasingly heavy.

"Your Majesty, you just woke up. Shall I feed you some porridge?"

A sweet voice reached his ears, and as Qin Yi looked up, the beautiful woman in front of him lifted his spirits.

Without makeup, jade-like skin, melon-seed face, willow-leaf eyebrows—as if she walked out of a painting.

Qin Yi wanted to reply but found his weakened body difficult to move.

"What exactly did that guy experience before he died? The memories after merging are completely blank. No, not completely blank, just..."

"Too short!""

In a blur, he could only see a phantom approaching at high speed, and then nothing.

"Instant kill?!"

He felt a headache; it seemed that the ability to traverse countless realms was not as easy as it appears, it was filled with tremendous danger.

The beautiful maid, seeing Qin Yi waking up, was visibly delighted. She lifted a bowl of porridge, gently cooled it, and fed it to Qin Yi.

After finishing the porridge, fatigue quickly overwhelmed him again, and his consciousness blurred once more.

When Qin Yi woke up again three days later, he felt much better this time. The numb weakness in his body had disappeared, and he could even get out of bed.

"What exactly did I experience?"

Staring blankly, Qin Yi raised his body and felt puzzled.

He distinctly remembered that the state three days ago was entirely different from now.

"Your Majesty, you're awake! The physician says that after you get up, our kingdom will be saved!"

The beautiful maid was evidently excited, hurrying over to attend to Qin Yi.

Raising his hand, rubbing his forehead, Qin Yi shook his head.

"Oh really?"

"Yes! The ministers say that as long as Your Majesty awakens and ventures into the other world again, the kingdom's territory will stop shrinking, and everyone won't have to live in fear anymore."

The beautiful maid spoke gently.

Qin Yi sighed but didn't say anything.

He naturally understood the meaning behind the maid's words. Kings have their own world, and as long as they continue conquering different realms, civilization, resources, and land will continuously grow. But if they stop, it will shrink, and over time, it may even dissipate.

After drinking the millet porridge and medicine given by the beautiful maid again, Qin Yi felt much better. He was about to chat with her to learn more about this world when suddenly,

"Dang dang dang dang dang!"

A deep, dull bell toll suddenly rang, shaking people's hearts. The beautiful maid's face changed, and the bowl in her hand fell to the ground, shattering.

"The Bell of Realms, six chimes again. Another group of warriors failed to return."

Muttering, the expression of the beautiful maid was full of sadness.

At this moment, Qin Yi's expression also turned grim.

He quickly understood the meaning of this bell. Every time they venture into the other world, the Bell of Realms rings three times on departure, with clear and joyful sounds instilling confidence in everyone. However, if they return after a failure, it tolls six times with a heavy, mournful tone. If it's a victorious return, it chimes nine times with joyful tones.

Now, the ringing of the bell caused profound sadness, confirming another failure with only six chimes.

Before Qin Yi's previous self woke up, he was the first to venture into the other world and the first to return in failure. It was quite tragic; the first attempt to attack the other world resulted in a disastrous defeat, leading to his demise.

After being in a state of slight daze, Qin Yi slowly stood up. Seeing this scene, the maid's face changed, and she tried to stop him.

"Take me to see."

"But, Your Majesty, your body!"

The little maid was full of worries.

However, Qin Yi remained silent and just got off the bed, heading directly outside.

As he walked towards the palace exterior, Qin Yi's mood became even heavier.

As long as he doesn't conquer the other world, the territory will keep on shrinking, and everything will dissipate into nothingness shortly. The current situation was such that even his palace wass pitifully small, or rather, it can't even be called a palace. He didn't expect to be reborn after death and face such a scene.

The little maid hurriedly catched up, but found that His Majesty's speed was fast, and in a blink of an eye, he had already left the palace gate.

At this moment, at the northeast corner of the kingdom, in front of the dimensional gate.

Warriors, covered in bloodstains and in a sorry state, leapt out from the giant gate emitting a faint glow. As they returned here, they fell to the ground weakly, losing consciousness.

Soldiers guarding nearby, with a medical officer in tow, quickly approached to check.

"Dead!"

"No one is breathing?"

"A sharp weapon pierced the left one's chest, heart shattered."

After examining several people in a row, none survived, casting a sombre and sorrowful atmosphere over everyone present.

"What does that other world have? Why are our losses so severe!"

An emotional soldier shouted loudly.

No one answered. Starting from the departure of the first batch, several batches of warriors had already rushed into the other world. Apart from those still fighting there, anyone who returned was either severely injured and unconscious or had lost their lives, providing no useful information.

After the bodies of thirteen warriors fell out, the light gate fell silent.

"Thirteen."

A sad, heavy voice which was also tinged with a sense of relief.

Suddenly, the light gate lit up again, and a figure leapt out, startling the dazed warriors.

Covered in fresh blood, quickly dyeing the ground red, the person's breath was weak, while being on the verge of death with only the last of his breath;s remaining.

Nevertheless, even in this state, the person gathered all his strength and shouted the last words of his life.

"The one who killed all my comrades!...That person's name is!"

"Uchiha!!"
