The world undergoes a strange transformation. Famous landmarks become terrifying dungeons, as the grudges of the past and evil gods from beyond the realm unleash a gluttonous feast upon the living.
I’m Gu Changan, a temporary worker restoring artifacts at the Palace Museum. From the start, I’m trapped in the Forbidden City, where I run into palace maids and eunuchs who have come back to life. They mistake me for fresh meat and hunt me down!
Cornered, I plop down on the Dragon Throne in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, accidentally awakening the souls of emperors who have slept for six hundred years!
[Ding! You have inherited six hundred years of Huaxia’s national destiny and awakened the only cultivation technique: The First Chapter of the Great Ming Law Qi!]
From then on, everything changes!
Other cultivators absorb spiritual energy with great care. I use polluted spiritual energy and vengeful ghostly resentment as kindling! My body becomes a human furnace, my temperature hits 180 degrees, and my blood boils like magma!
Strange creatures come near me and burst into flames! An evil god glares at me and its soul scatters!
[Supernatural Art: Spit Flame] One breath of dragon fire purifies a hundred miles. Whether you’re a century-old ghost king or a millennium-old corpse, you’ll all burn to ash!
[Supernatural Art: Body of Golden Bricks and Jade Tiles] Stand there and let me hit you. I’ll knock your teeth out!
But this overbearing cultivation technique has just one side effect: hunger! An unbearable hunger! To keep from burning myself to death, I have to devour more of the strange creatures!
When the echoes of the emperors reveal the truth, the Western forces of the uncanny have plundered the essence of the East, and Huaxia’s barrier is on the brink of collapse.
My mission is no longer to survive.
It is to take this human nuclear reactor of a body overseas, raze the British Museum, sweep across the Egyptian pyramids, and reclaim everything that belongs to our civilization from the mouths of the ancient gods!
When the gods of the heavens fall silent and the Eastern legacy is severed,
I will be the only light in this dark night!
