My name is Zheng Lie, a bastard who crawled out of the muddy alleys in Nancheng. I smell like smoke and speak dirty words. The only skill I have is that I can fight hard enough. When I was sixteen years old, I was thrown into a shocking situation like a knife - Yun Henian wanted to borrow my life to try his hidden "road to heaven".
Everyone thought I was a pawn. But they don't know that I am born with a "spirit" problem. By devouring the essence and blood of the strong, I can take away their abilities for my own use. This secret allowed Yun Henian's fierce generals to become my nourishment one by one, and also gave the arrogant "priests" of the Western Holy See a taste of mortal fists for the first time.
From Mud Alley to Suzaku Camp, from a wanted criminal to a tycoon in charge of a region, I stepped on the bones of powerful people and climbed to the clouds. Yun Henian wants to turn me into a dog in his warlord territory, so I will backhand his game and burn it all.
The Holy See, warlords, and hidden families are all competing for victory. I, Zheng Lie, have no ambitions. I just want everyone who stepped on me to kneel down and call me "Master" one by one.
But when the white flame from the Western Holy See lit up in front of my father's grave, I knew that my war had just begun.
