Synopsis

He bears the infamy of ten thousand ages, yet he is the only god in the mortal realm. Ying Zheng, the First Emperor, the ruler who unified the six states, was branded a tyrant in the history books. He burned books and buried scholars alive, ruled with harsh laws and punishments, and harmed his empire by seeking immortality. For two thousand years, he endured the accusations without ever defending himself. Because he was waiting. Waiting for the right moment, waiting to settle the score, waiting for those lofty immortals and gods to kneel before him in person. In the thirty-seventh year of Qin Shi Huang's reign, at the Sand Dune Palace, the First Emperor died. The history books say he died because of his tyranny, condemned by Heaven and hated by the people. The truth was that the Heavenly Emperor struck personally, while the gods of the immortal realm joined forces to unleash a deadly calamity. That night, Ying Zheng offered up ninety percent of his divine soul to seal it within the ley lines of the Nine Provinces, leaving only one tenth behind to feign death and slumber. He traded his own “death” for two thousand years of peace in the mortal realm. Two thousand years later, Ying Zheng awoke in the mausoleum on Mount Li. What awaited him was a “golden age” filled with immortal palaces, rampant demons, and all living beings prostrating themselves before the gods. The history books called him a tyrant, the common people scorned him like a dog, and the immortal realm regarded him as a rebel who had to be eliminated. But no one knew The Great Wall was an immortal-suppressing formation, built with the souls of a million soldiers. When he burned books and buried scholars alive, the books he burned were the immortal realm's forged scriptures, and those he killed were its spies. Xu Fu's voyage east was no quest for immortality. It was a mission to shatter the passage between the mortal and immortal realms in the Eastern Sea. He bore the infamy for two thousand years, all to wait for this day To tear away the immortal realm's hypocrisy with his own hands, and let all living beings stand tall. “I burned books, but the books I burned were the immortal realm's forged scriptures. I buried scholars alive, but those I buried were the immortal realm's spies. I built the Great Wall to guard against the rift between the mortal and immortal realms. I sought immortality so I could wait for the chance to sever those chains between the realms once and for all.” “Everyone in the world calls me a tyrant.” “But I am the only one in this mortal realm who dares to draw a sword against the immortals.”
