Imperial Edict Through the Ages: From Disgraced Crown Prince to Emperor of Humanity

When he wakes, he is a discarded slave at the Hanzhou mine, numbered “Gui 749.” Three months earlier, he was the legitimate crown prince of the Dayin Dynasty. After powerful ministers and immortal sects conspired to frame him, his cultivation was crippled, a Dragon-Locking Spike was driven into him, and he was banished to the northern frontier as a slave. Here, mortals are no better than weeds. The immortal sects hold life and death in their hands, refining living people into pills and enslaving the masses. Then, one night, a celestial phenomenon appears, and a rift in chaos opens. The Ancient Emperor System descends and chooses him as its master, binding itself to his damaged imperial bloodline: “Remnant imperial bloodline of the human race detected. Compatibility: seventy percent... Imperial destiny awakening...” From that day on, the path of the deposed crown prince Xiao Jingtian is no longer simply about escaping the mine alive. He will make the light of humanity shine once more across this land, shrouded in the shadow of the immortal sects. The Generals’ Platform appears, and the heroic spirits return. Huo Qubing’s phantom breaks through a thousand troops with a single spear thrust. Li Jing’s battle formation traps Golden Core cultivators. Yue Fei’s loyal spirit protects the mountains and rivers. Gather dragon veins, forge the nation’s destiny, rally the refugees, and build a backbone of iron. On Hanzhou’s snowy plains, a great banner bearing the character “Xia” unfurls in the wind. All who are loyal may be made marquises; all who resist will be protected. The immortal sects are enraged. Three provinces send armies to crush him, and Golden Core cultivators press upon the frontier. They see mortals as ants and the imperial way as rebellion. Xiao Jingtian raises his sword to the heavens, with a hundred thousand soldiers and civilians behind him, ready to live and die at his side: “Today, I establish a nation, and name it Great Xia.” “From this day forth, across the three provinces of the northern frontier, all lands touched by the sun and moon belong to humanity.” “If the immortal sects refuse to bow...” He points his sword at the sky, his voice shaking the heavens: “Then let there be war!”
