Just became a divine immortal, descendants are begging me to come out of the mou

Born as the first prince of the Jing Dynasty, Jiang Changsheng was switched at birth by a treacherous individual and was later sent to a Taoist temple, becoming an ordinary little Taoist. From a prince to an ignored little Taoist, his life took a downturn. Fortunately, Jiang Changsheng activated his survival system, granting him infinite lifespan. As long as he overcame the hardships of life, he would receive survival rewards. Nearly killed by his senior martial brother during training, he miraculously survived and acquired the Divine Shadow Legs. Nearly crushed to death by a falling beam during an earthquake, he obtained the Nine-Seeking Sky Dragon Step. Chaos erupted in the capital city with the invasion of demons, but he managed to survive and gain the Demonslaying Staff. The dynasties rose and fell, demons ran amok, and martial arts reigned supreme. This was a world without immortals or gods; Daoist arts were hidden within the court and the mountains. Three hundred years later, the once-prosperous Jing Dynasty faced decline as the regional lords rose in power, reducing the emperor to a mere puppet controlled by warlords. The dynasty splintered and waged war for decades, leading to a drastic decline in national power. Taking advantage of this, neighboring tribes invaded, causing the people to suffer and turning the human realm into a living hell. The puppet emperor, Jiang Xuanzhen, arrived at the Taoist temple, kneeling and weeping, "My descendants have been unfilial and incapable of reversing the situation. I implore the ancestors to ascend the throne and continue the glory of our great Jing Dynasty for another three hundred years!" If you think "Just Became an Immortal, Now My Descendants Ask Me to Return" is good, please don't forget to recommend it to your friends and fellow bookworms.
