A mighty ruler who clawed his way up from beneath the empress's feet, an emperor who thought little even of his own great-grandfather, Li Lao'er. He swore to stand alongside Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han, and just when his ambitions seemed within reach, a prophecy about his fate shook him to his core. He refused to accept that he would die young, in his forties. He believed that people could triumph over fate, and besides, he was the lord of countless billions of living beings. From then on, he began plotting to defy heaven and change his destiny. He seized the cultivation of Sima Chengzhen and 107 other perfected masters as a catalyst, used the Three Mountains, Five Sacred Peaks, and Four Rivers as his framework, and offered the blood of the countless people of the Tang as a sacrifice, using the fate of the empire to prolong his own life. His plan ultimately succeeded, and he changed his fate. But heaven was not so easily deceived. Heaven's retribution came in the blink of an eye: the ruler grew benighted, an enchanting consort sowed chaos, and treacherous ministers held power. At last, the An Lushan Rebellion erupted, and the Tang was cut in half at the height of its prosperity. He lived out his natural lifespan, winning the game of chess he played against heaven, but every piece he had sacrificed had been a living person.
The Three Mountains, Five Sacred Peaks, Four Seas, and Four Great Rivers can summon clouds, bring wind and rain, and produce strange creatures. All are called gods! The Ten Great Grotto-Heavens, the Thirty-Six Lesser Grotto-Heavens, and the Seventy-Two Blessed Lands draw on the power of the greater world and gather the essence of heaven and earth to create immortals beyond the mortal realm.
The short-lived Jin and the mighty Tang. Yet the Tang nearly fell to a thief who stole sheep. Everyone curses Yang Yuhuan, but how many know Xuanzong's designs?
He forcefully swallowed the Jishui River to replenish his source, and performed rites on Mount Tai to alter the empire's fate. The common people, knowing nothing, simply accepted the will of heaven. How many immortal affairs lay hidden within?
Li Xuan, Zhang Guo, Ye Fashan; the two rebels An and Shi, Guo Ziyi; Li Bai, Du Fu, Yang Guozhong; Zhang Xun, Li Mi, Yan Zhenqing. And there were true gods, immortals, and Buddhas too. Who knows about Wang Erxiao...
Come and see who is the player and who is the piece, and what the slaughter on the board will look like...
