Lu Chenzhou traveled through Dayong and woke up as a prince on death row on the execution ground.
Before the sword fell, he bound the mountains and rivers to the ashes contract: he could use the fate of the country to break through the country, gather the people's wishes, and take control of the power of the mountains and rivers.
But this power is not in vain - the lights of a city he borrows will cause the people to be without lights for three days; every level of cultivation he forcibly improves will leave a disaster debt in the mountains and rivers that must be repaid.
The enemy saint Jiang Zhaoxue was ordered to supervise the beheading, but she drew her sword for him at the last moment; the conquered empress Ning Hongxiao hid in the red glass fire to help him break the situation, and also wanted to use his life to rekindle her homeland.
When the Protector of the Nation refined the Taoist Fruit of Immortality from all the people in the world, Lu Chenzhou realized that he was never the only one who was truly put on the altar.
This time, he will take charge of the destiny of the country as a mortal - he will personally return the borrowed mountains and rivers.
