Farming and Raising an Army
In the Golden Hall, the tiger tally is shattered. Xiao Jingchen, the “Invincible General” who once defended half of Great Yan with an army of 100,000 black-armored soldiers, is branded a traitor overnight and dragged away in chains to the bitterly cold far north.
There, snow buries the bones and the wind devours the living. It is a place so desolate that even wild beasts avoid it. Yet, as he teeters on the brink of death, he awakens the “Shenzhou Editor.” Touch frozen earth, and he can change it into fertile farmland. Take hold of scrap iron, and he can forge weapons that cut through metal like mud. Look upon refugees, and he can enhance their bodies, shaping them into an iron-blooded army that can withstand any siege.
From exiled prisoner to ruler of the far north, he builds mighty cities, revitalizes farming and sericulture, and trains a powerful army, transforming barren land into a paradise. From a remote borderland to the throne of the Central Plains, he leads his black-armored cavalry to smash through the capital, execute treacherous ministers, and purge the court, using the Editor to reshape the realm.
When the discarded son of old stands atop the palace walls, with an age of prosperity stretching for thousands of miles behind him and countless people kneeling before him, Xiao Jingchen smiles as he grips his sword. “The heavens of Great Yan should have been mine to change long ago.”
