[Great Emperor Awakens] + [Dharma-ending Age] + [Taking on Disciples] + [No Female Lead]
It was a golden age, with brilliant galaxies and the Great Dao at its peak. Peerless prodigies from across the ages gathered to compete.
Xiao Chen began fighting at a young age, defeating one powerful prodigy after another and sweeping all before him. He never lost a battle in his life, and ultimately attained the Dao and became an emperor.
Invincible beneath the heavens, he had only one lingering wish: to find a worthy opponent.
He traveled across the heavens, searching everywhere for the invincibles of the previous age, including the Double-Pupiled Female Emperor and the Peerless Sword Sovereign.
But after searching desperately for tens of thousands of years, he could find no trace of where they had gone.
His invincible strength left him lonely and bored, and he grew weary of it all.
Xiao Chen sealed his dojo and let his imperial palace drift into the depths of endless space. Carrying his regret and his unfulfilled wish, he fell into an eternal slumber.
A hundred thousand years passed in the blink of an eye. When he awoke, he sensed that the world had changed. The Great Dao had withered, and the world had long since entered the Dharma-ending Age. There were no top-tier powerhouses left.
Taking with him the Supreme Emperor Weapon, the Myriad Stars Ring, and its accompanying spirit, Xiao Xing, he began to investigate the root cause of the Dharma-ending Age.
Unable to let go of his wish to fight a supreme powerhouse, he finally decided to cultivate strong opponents himself.
He and Xiao Xing traveled across the world, gathering its prodigies and guiding them as they grew, hoping that one day they might be able to fight him.
When he met Su Bai, a contemporary bearer of double pupils, he helped him awaken them.
When he met Dugu Jian, a sword cultivator who defied the Dao, he taught him the finest sword techniques.
When he met Lei Xiaotian, who carried an ancient bloodline hidden within him, he helped unlock that dormant bloodline.
Thus, Xiao Chen, the Great Emperor who had been invincible for more than a hundred thousand years, cultivated prodigies while searching for the truth behind the decline of the Great Dao.
