He was once an emperor for the ages, uniting the six realms, yet met a mysterious death while performing the Fengshan Sacrifice at Mount Tai. Xiang Nancheng is the most useless legitimate heir of the Nanling mercenary clan: though gifted with remarkable bone structure, he was judged to have a "severed martial meridian." Born with tremendous strength, he could not gather inner energy, and his abilities stopped improving when he turned sixteen. From a powerless man cast aside by his family to someone who conquers multinational conglomerates, brings international mercenaries under his command, and secretly influences the politics of small nations, the emperor of an old era has stepped onto the chessboard of a new one. He will rule the world once more, on his own terms.
