When a 21st-century soul is struck by a dump truck and sent into a Three Kingdoms world of high martial arts, Xuanyuan Po thinks he has reached the limit of what he can comprehend. Little does he know that this world is far more complicated than he imagined.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion plunges the land into chaos, with cities consumed by blood and fire. On the night before Xuanyuan Po sets out, his old father presses an ancient jade into his hand and reveals a shocking secret: “My son, you are descended directly from the Yellow Emperor. You alone can bring this age of calamity to an end.”
He means to keep a low profile, but his modern knowledge is like a higher-dimensional force in this world. He recites poetry and leaves Kong Rong speechless; he explains the classics and leaves Zheng Xuan questioning his sanity. Before he knows it, he is crowned the “Sage of Letters,” but the title also draws countless assassins.
Before Hulao Pass, the Demon God Lu Bu tears the heavens apart with his Sky Piercer halberd. As the warlords tremble in fear, Xuanyuan Po strides forward. Primeval energy surges around him, and a sword of the Sage’s Way appears from thin air. “You thrice-surnamed slave, have you ever heard of the power of your ancestors?”
In the bloody battle at Mirror Lake, he risks his life to grievously wound the Demon God. The world believes its hero has fallen.
But this is only the beginning of his destiny.
An undying fragment of the Human Emperor’s soul guides the sect in recovering the Chart of the Mountains and Rivers. When Zhao Yun, Host of the Dragon Soul, draws forth the energy of Xuanhuang and sends it surging into the heavens, the sleeping bloodline finally awakens. Xuanyuan Po returns from the river of time, carrying a truth that will overturn the ages:
“The Investiture of the Gods was a conspiracy of the Heavenly Dao! Di Xin was no tyrant, but the last Human Emperor. He sought to lead humanity out of its chains, so the immortals and gods destroyed him. The station of the Human Emperor was abolished and replaced by the Son of Heaven. From that day on, humanity became a puppet of the immortals and gods!”
Now the Son of Heaven is under control, the Heavenly Dao is in decline, and another calamity of slaughter begins. Xuanyuan Po’s return heralds the moment when the flames of rebellion, suppressed for three thousand years, will finally engulf the world.
This epic begins on the battlefield of the Three Kingdoms and ends at the pinnacle of the primeval world, bearing witness to the return of the Human Emperor,
