Qin Hao transmigrates to a fantasy world and is chosen from the start by the foremost sect, the Heavenly Sword Sect, earning the right to join.
He thinks he has the protagonist's destiny, but soon discovers that things aren't so simple.
Born to the family patriarch and a maid, he is disliked by everyone. His father resents him, his mother rejects him, and his younger brother alone receives their favor.
For the sake of his brother's future, his parents force him to give up his place in the sect so his brother can take it instead.
Qin Hao cuts ties with the Qin family and heads to the restricted servants' quarters to make a living. Every day, he slaughters livestock, surrounded by blood and filth.
The forbidden grounds are gloomy and sinister. The furnace never goes out, and the sounds of slaughter never cease, day or night. Stranger still, the “livestock” awaiting slaughter are black pigs with nine tails, giant rabbits with eyes like red bronze, and goats black from head to hoof. They look ordinary, yet their auras are eerie and menace lurks beneath the surface.
Armed with nothing but a butcher's knife, Qin Hao fights for his life again and again, killing these “animals” just to survive.
What he doesn't know is that every animal he has slaughtered is an ancient, fearsome beast, a being so terrifying that even the mighty dare not face it.
Yet as soon as they approach Qin Hao, their power is completely suppressed, reducing them to ordinary livestock, and they end up dead at his hands.
With every beast he kills, its essence quietly merges into his flesh and blood, granting him terrifying power. Qin Hao simply never notices.
Then, the instant he leaves the forbidden grounds, a terrifying aura quietly emerges.
At that moment, Qin Hao is stunned.
I only slaughtered a pig. How did I become a Great Emperor?
Watching his so-called family kneel on the ground and beg him to come home, Qin Hao sneers.
“The Qin family? What Qin family?”
“Didn't I already sever all ties with the Qin family?”
