To protect his loved ones, Li Ke angers the emperor and is exiled to the barbarian lands.
That miasma-ridden place becomes the starting point for his upheaval of the world.
He makes cement and builds fortified cities, turning deserts into thoroughfares.
He smelts high-quality steel, crafts divine crossbows, and builds an invincible army.
He promotes farming and education, bringing warmth and full bellies to the people and winning the hearts of the realm!
The iron-clad army he leads descends like soldiers from heaven.
The thunder of cannons heralds the rise of a new king.
The powerful men who once trampled him now tremble beneath his feet.
His father, the emperor, who once cast him aside like an old shoe, looks at him with a complicated expression.
Li Ke: “I can do without being emperor of this Tang Empire! What I want is the stars and the sea!”
Li Ke: “There can only be one nation and one voice in my Tang Empire!”
