In the last years of Dayin, strange things happened frequently.
The dead spoke, the statues bled, and people in the capital kept claiming to have seen the deceased emperor.
Lieutenant Shen Zhaoye of the Zhulong Division was ordered to investigate a mysterious case, but unexpectedly received a secret edict left by the emperor during his lifetime.
There is no successor in the imperial edict, only one sentence:
"Destiny is dead, don't trust the new king."
In order to find out the true cause of the emperor's death, Shen Zhaoye started to investigate from an abandoned palace, only to find that important officials, border army commanders, royal family members, and even gods worshiped for hundreds of years were all hiding the same secret.
And as the truth gradually emerged, he finally understood——
The emperor did not leave an edict to prevent someone from ascending the throne.
It's because the person sitting on the throne may no longer be a human being.
