Gate of Winter: From Lord of the Northern Frontier to God of All Realms

A war between immortals and gods brought down the Pillar of Heaven, condemning the northern reaches of the Xuanhuang Realm to an endless winter. The nations moved south, vying and battling for the warmer lands until rivers of blood flowed. Lin Xuan, a transmigrator, was granted a fief at the empire's northernmost, bitterly cold frontier as a so-called "reward": a lonely city forgotten amid the blizzards. While the powers fought tooth and nail in the south, Lin Jin quietly opened the first "Planar Gate" on his dilapidated territory. From then on, scarce food, lost runes, powerful cultivation arts, armies from other worlds... all passed through this gate, becoming the cornerstones of his efforts to rebuild order. Years later, the war between the gods began anew, and disaster returned. The overlords of the south looked north in terror and discovered that the source of the vast radiance sweeping across the heavens and protecting Xuanhuang was none other than the northern city they had once exiled its people to. And seated upon the divine throne was the man they had never once taken seriously... The Lord of the Frozen Abyss.
