He was an elite mercenary in the shadows, skilled in hand-to-hand combat and assassination, but struggled to get by under the constraints of modern urban life. Then an explosion during a mission sent his soul into the war-torn Tianyuan Continent, where he became a cannon-fodder soldier in a small frontier kingdom.
Here, spirit warriors reign supreme, and manifested armor souls can shake mountains. The kingdoms are locked in endless conflict, and human lives are worth less than grass. The combat skills that had been useless in his former life became the sharpest blades on the battlefield, while the steely mind forged by witnessing countless deaths became his greatest asset for surviving the turbulent age.
Clawing his way out of mountains of corpses, he recruits fierce generals and wise advisers, lays the foundations of power in desperate circumstances, and breaks through the schemes swirling around him. He has no heaven-defying System, only the blade in his hand and the people at his side. Together, they help him rise from county governor to regional overlord, until at last he sets his sights on the whole realm.
The name Xiao Jinzhi will become an immortal legend, carried on the flames of Tianyuan Continent’s unification.
