Loneliness in the last days, internal and external troubles. The young emperor Qizhao possesses the secret skills of the Mirror Palace and glimpses the disintegration of the empire and the shadow of black hands from outside the territory. In an attempt to turn the tide, he is betrayed by his closest relatives and poisoned, and discovers that the mystery of the ancient "heritage" goes far beyond the rise and fall of the dynasty. He faked his death and escaped, living among the people under the pseudonym Xu Xin, realizing the people's aspirations, and finally met the revolutionary leader Sun Wen, and his ideas were reborn.
In the northern Xinjiang, the loyal old army stands on the ice sheet in the name of the "National Protector Army". They rely on the "Flintlight" technology and the mysterious "Star Iron" developed by scientist Lin Wei to fight against the powerful Rakshasa enemies and the non-artificial "Sphira". In the south, Xu Xin strategized and guided the revolutionary forces to cultivate the land and practice the republican ideal.
However, the "Oracle Society" behind the scenes controls the world, coveting the "legacy" with the power to destroy the world. The old emperor and the new soul, technology and secrets, revolutionary blood and ancient crisis... Collide fiercely in this apocalyptic torrent. Can Qizhao lead the times with his broken body, tear apart the darkness, and light up the dawn of the Republic amidst the whispers of "heritage" and the ruins of the empire?
This is a majestic story about betrayal and loyalty, destruction and creation, personal awakening and the survival of civilization.
