After parting ways on Coal Hill, Zhu Yi sees his homeland shattered. Transmigrating into the Chongzhen Emperor, he tears apart the white silk in a moment of despair, but also tears open a new chapter in his fate.
Branded with the infamy of a ruler who lost his empire, he nevertheless holds the seeds of future technology in his hands. He has but one thought: survive and rebuild the Great Ming!
“Ding! Main quest: Establish a New Ming on the New Continent! Host, will you accept this heavy responsibility?”
Wang Cheng'en, tears streaming down his face as he clasps Zhu Yi's hand, chokes out, “Your Majesty, wherever you go, this servant will follow! I will follow you to the death!” This loyalty is Zhu Yi's only comfort in his desperate plight.
“Escape the pursuers and preserve the seeds of civilization” → “Cross the seas and find a new home” → “Survive in the wilderness and establish order” → “Face foreign enemies and defend your home”
A chart for navigation turns a Fujian ship into a mighty ocean-going vessel; a treatise on metallurgy sends sparks flying across a savage land. With blood and sweat, he nurtures the seedlings of civilization.
When the New Ming army's banners fly over North America and the steam engine's roar echoes through the valleys, he sees hope, but also feels the mountain of responsibility on his shoulders.
He was once an emperor of a doomed dynasty, powerless to turn back the tide. Now he is the founder of a new civilization, a man favored by fate and yet crushed beneath its weight.
“Ding! Side quest: When confronted with the remnants of your former homeland, your choice will determine the future of the New Ming!”
When an envoy from his old homeland arrives, is the message “The Great Ming still lives” a promise of hope or despair? Is it salvation, or a new set of chains?
Can he reclaim an emperor's dignity in a foreign land, and how will he face the remnants of the old world and the challenges of the new?
A tangled web of emotions, a clash of civilizations: amid blood and fire, an emperor of a dying dynasty writes an epic of redemption and resurgence!
The colonization of America was in 1469, and Chongzhen was in 1642? There is no way to build a country [awkward laugh][awkward laugh][awkward laugh][awkward laugh][awkward laugh]🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦
