The vast world is stirring back to life, and the distant gods and demons from beyond are about to return.
Spiritual energy surges across the ancient continent, and the sleeping gods quietly awaken.
The world is the board, and all living beings are pieces.
It doesn't matter who is a hero, only who wins or loses.
“A great man lives in this world. How can he languish forever beneath others? Since no gods protect Huaxia, then we will become our own gods and fight every enemy who dares invade us. Like our ancestors, we care not for gain or loss, victory or defeat, only for having no regrets. Once the genes of slavery awaken, we can only remain slaves. So why not fight for our ideals, even if it costs us our lives?”
Zhang Luo stood atop the coastal city already submerged beneath the waves, looking up at Poseidon, the Sea King, who gazed down upon everything. His eyes were full of resolve.
“Hahaha, you Huaxia vermin. Take your so-called hope and die!”
Poseidon had had enough. He raised his hand and brought down his blade.
A colossal wave surged toward Zhang Luo like the end of the world. He knew he couldn't stop it, but for the sake of his compatriots, he kept swinging, fighting for Huaxia's faint glimmer of hope.
Just as the wave was about to crash into Zhang Luo, a beam of golden light smashed it to pieces.
“Oh? Since when do barbarians from overseas get to run wild in Huaxia? I, the Emperor, never gave you permission!”
A man eight feet tall, wearing a ceremonial crown and a black dragon robe, appeared beside Zhang Luo. He looked up at the immense sea god Poseidon with scorn.
