Chu Ming transmigrates into the Great Abyss and becomes the Sixth Prince. But he has nothing to smile about.
His tyrannical father is a ruthless man who specializes in “hunting down” transmigrators!
The previous eight transmigrators from his homeland, including a Tang dynasty scholar and a Ming dynasty craftsman, were all killed after his father found excuses to get rid of them.
To stay alive, Chu Ming goes to absurd lengths to ruin his own reputation, fleeing to the poorest region, Beiliang, where he becomes the ultimate recluse and secretly builds up his forces.
His father sends assassins to kill him, but they spend their days enjoying themselves at Beiliang’s “Heaven on Earth.” His father orders his execution, but the eunuch delivering the decree is so terrified by Beiliang’s red-coated cannons that he loses his nerve.
Then one day, the Heavenly Dao’s Golden Rankings descend!
[The Great Abyss Tyrant, to defend against natural disasters caused by foreign tribes, swallowed his grief and killed eight of his closest relatives, each a rare anomaly, bearing eternal infamy!]
The whole realm is moved to tears. Chu Ming is stunned. “Father, you killed our fellow transmigrators to save the country?”
The sky screen continues its review:
[The Great Abyss’s savior, the Sixth Prince! He has built machine guns, raised heavy cavalry, and deployed cannons, transforming Beiliang into the world’s number-one empire!]
The ministers stare at the 100,000 heavily armored steel warriors standing behind Chu Ming on the screen, utterly dumbfounded.
Emperor Tai’an: “You little brat, is this what you meant when you said you were scraping by on bran and vegetables at the border?”
Chu Ming tosses aside the script and grins. “Father, sacrificing people to save the country is so outdated. Times have changed. Watch your son build you an empire on which the sun never sets!”
