Zhou Chengye wakes from a nap to find himself inside a fantasy novel, cast as the nominal puppet emperor of Great Zhou.
Five years into his reign, Regent Xiao Taixu holds the entire court in his grasp, leaving him little more than a prisoner in a cage.
Knowing how the story ends, Zhou Chengye refuses to repeat the same mistakes. Using the autumn sacrifice as cover, he quietly flees with the national treasure, the Divine Seal of Mountains and Rivers.
In this age of declining cultivation, the shackles of Heaven and Earth have sealed away countless cultivators, and no one can break through to the Innate Realm.
After snatching the fortune of the chosen one and obtaining the notes left behind by the True Immortal of Reincarnation, along with the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Art, Zhou Chengye finds the one path that can change everything.
Others risk death when they destroy their cultivation and start over. He has endless treasures of Heaven and Earth at his disposal, building an immaculate Dao foundation with sheer resources.
With the Heavenly Demon Order in hand, the secret realm of the Demon Sect opens to him.
He knows every twist in the story, so he claims the chosen one’s opportunities before anyone else can!
Great Zhou fractures, with three great powers standing in opposition and four Grandmasters dividing the realm between them.
While everyone else remains trapped in the cage of their era, this deposed emperor has already embarked on the Great Dao of breaking the shackles of this age of declining cultivation.
