While transmigrating across Lop Nur, the Sea of Death, we stumbled upon a thousand-year-old tomb belonging to a Western Han princess.
Murals inside the tomb recorded the mystery of the lost “Nine Ding of the Dragon Vein,” while the bronze compass clutched in the princess’s hand pointed beneath the Arctic ice cap.
The international black market for antiquities got wind of our discovery, and elite mercenaries began hunting our archaeological expedition team.
On the run, I deciphered the oracle bone script on the compass: “The dragon vein is the lifeline, and the Nine Ding determine the fate of the world.”
It turned out the Nine Ding were no legend. They were ancient supertechnology capable of affecting Earth’s magnetic field.
To stop the black market from using them for war, we had to find the “City of the Celestial Emperor” in the Arctic first.
But no one knew that awakening the Nine Ding would cost the life of the first person to make contact with them...
