When I was fifteen years old, I picked up my father's Huanshou sword and became a sword and shield soldier in the border town of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
I thought the greatest hatred in my life was the Rouran people who killed my father and massacred the village.
Until I experienced the Six Towns Uprising, the Heyin Incident, the Great War between the Eastern and Western Wei, the destruction of Buddhism in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the unification of the Sui Dynasty, and the founding of the Tang Dynasty...
Until the knife in my hand went from killing Rouran people, to rebels, to "our own people", to not knowing who to kill.
Until I lived a hundred years and became a veteran of three dynasties, I was still a soldier.
Because I am bound to a [Hundred Battles System].
Every time I fight, I become stronger and my lifespan gets longer.
Swords and shields, bows and horses, spears, double hammers, strange doors, water battles, mountains, jungles, street battles...
It took me a hundred years to master all human combat skills and travel to every inch of the battlefield in China. It took me hundreds of years to finally understand——
This system is the collective will of the five hundred years of war dead.
They chose me not because they wanted me to be invincible, but because they wanted me to ask a question for them:
"When will the battle be over?"
In the first year of Wude, Qianshuiyuan.
Facing Xue Ju's 100,000-strong army, the 115-year-old me released my sword.
One hundred thousand weapons fell to the ground at the same time.
I turned to Li Shimin and said, "Your Highness, the battle is over."
This time, the fight is really over.
