A bolt of lightning tears through time and space, and Wang Chao, a burnt-out office worker, transmigrates to the Xianyang Palace of the Qin Dynasty in 210 BC, where he unexpectedly binds himself to the “Universal Unification System.” Charged with helping Qin Shi Huang achieve immortality and conquer the cosmos, he arrives with technology far ahead of its time. The curved-shaft plow revitalizes farming, improved steelmaking produces sharper weapons, scientific methods help Ying Zheng overcome old age, and gunpowder and repeating crossbows transform the battlefield.
In just three years, he helps the Qin Dynasty pacify the Xiongnu and subdue the Baiyue, fill its granaries with high-yield crops, and sail into distant waters aboard advanced ships, gradually conquering foreign lands and unifying the world. When the dragon banners of Xianyang Palace fly over every inch of the globe, the immortal Ying Zheng turns his gaze toward the stars, and Wang Chao’s System interface unlocks the coordinates of the universe. This empire-building venture, born in the Qin Dynasty, will cross the stars and forge a legendary empire spanning the cosmos.
