The Great Zhou Divine Dynasty stands supreme over the myriad realms, ruling three thousand immortal domains. It was founded on martial might, where the strong reign supreme. Deep within the imperial capital stands a tower that reaches into the heavens. It houses ninety-nine forbidden talents left behind from the ancient battlefield of gods and demons, each powerful enough to dominate an era.
When members of the imperial clan turn sixteen, they may enter the tower to awaken their talents. Talents are ranked in nine grades. Those in the top three may be made princes or ministers, while an extraordinary talent is the stuff of legend, appearing only once in a thousand years. On the day the third prince, Ye Guanhai, awakens his talent, the entire tower trembles violently. All ninety-nine forbidden talents hum at once, bowing before him. The tower spirit is shaken, the imperial capital is shaken, and the entire Great Zhou Divine Dynasty erupts in excitement. Everyone believes that at last, the Great Zhou has welcomed the chosen one of destiny it has awaited for a thousand years.
