The Nineteenth Imperial Prison

The Emperor rules the firmament, commanding the birth and death of all worlds.

The Emperor commands all living things. Are all beings mere dust?

An Emperor is overbearing and powerful, supreme, the source of every law, every principle, and every path. Those who submit live; those who rebel die. High above all, the Emperor shines, fades, and decays alongside the sun and moon.

But in this world, there are also the Nineteen Imperial Prisons.

The Imperial Prisons reduce emperors to dust, slaves, and dogs, making them serve at my command.

The Imperial Prisons sacrifice emperors' blood for power, for its source, for creation, and for my martial path.

The young Xiao Nan came from the Final Martial Age, a hundred thousand years in the future. He shattered a divine statue and transmigrated through a hundred lifetimes, gathering their wills upon his return. Then he discovered that the statue's true form was none other than the Nineteen Imperial Prisons. He had once devoted his heart to the gods, but the gods had betrayed all living beings. He had once devoted his heart to the supreme emperors, but they treated him as dust.

Very well. With the Nineteen Imperial Prisons, I shall imprison every emperor under heaven and command every god in the world. Whether you are a Heavenly Emperor, a Divine Emperor, a Martial Emperor, an Emperor of the mortal realm, an ancient Emperor, a present-day Emperor, or an Emperor of the future, those who follow me shall be emperors, and those who oppose me shall be slaves. My word is law, is heaven, is principle. I am the Lord of the Imperial Prisons.
