On the Tianjing Continent, the martial arts of mortals have fallen into decline. The various nations are locked in endless war, while sects manipulate the reins of power. Across the four continents of the Primordial World, immortals and Buddhas carve up the lands. Humanity is weak, demons run rampant, and the Sages scheme without end. Demonic gods from beyond the realms spy on the world's boundaries, leaving the Primordial World on the brink of disaster.
Li Zhen, a modern-day prodigy in history and military affairs, transmigrated into the newly enthroned emperor of the doomed Great Yan dynasty. In his desperate hour, he awakened the Chinese Heroes Summoning System. Using his dynasty's national fortune as kindling, he summoned civil officials and military generals from every dynasty, as well as legendary heroes from the martial arts and immortal-cultivation worlds. Loyal spirits returned to their places, vowing to serve their ruler to the death!
He cleansed the bureaucracy, quelled the rebellions of the vassal lords, swept through the four kingdoms, and unified Tianjing. Then, with hundreds of millions of people, he ascended as an entire nation into the Southern Continent. He united humanity, fought the immortals and Buddhas, and established a divine dynasty, bringing the Primordial World's mightiest factions to heel. Before the Calamity of Investiture of the Gods began, he received personal instruction from Dao Ancestor Hongjun and was accepted as his fifth direct disciple, joining forces to resist the conspiracies of the Chan and Buddhist sects.
He revised the Investiture of the Gods, gathered the fortune of China, forged a new order in the Celestial Court, and formed an alliance of Sages to defend the Primordial World. He repelled invasions from countless worlds beyond the realms, ultimately awakening the origin of the Chaos Demonic Gods and inheriting the authority of the Heavenly Dao.
Five thousand years of literary and military prowess, and an endless land forged in blood and iron. China's heroes arrived together in the Primordial World, standing firm as the backbone of humanity to stabilize heaven and earth and usher in an unprecedented new era!
